It ain't all about perfect vocals. Axl's energy was mind blowing, his vocals were good enough to sell it. But to each his own and all that. Crowd went crazy for it as well.

Stress Fracture Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Agreed. I still go back and watch that Bohemian Rhapsody performance on a regular basis. When Axl comes running out to the fireworks, it's like the climax of a Hollywood blockbuster. His vocals aren't perfect but he's already won before opening his mouth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far and away the highlight of that concert. Bowie too, but that's not fair since he only did his songs with them. **clears throat** Excuse me, but THIS is the highlight of that concert followed very closely by George, then Bowie/Lennox:http://video.genfb.com/1228001277231389 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB. Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Imo George stole the show that night, eventhough I loved Axl's.. But George clearly gave it all. I saw in a doc yesterday he mainly was putting his everything into it, cause Anselmo was in the audience and they knew he was sick. It was the timing, what made George sing even better, than he already could. He called it his best performance ever. the doc is called 'a different story' , it was pretty good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In WWRY he did a little mistake, it´s was clear he was little nervous But in terms of vocals and interpretation GM was perfect. I like many others live performance by him. But STL was highlight of night maybe of his career. As Fred Tribute. Artists could make a tribute to Prince, Bowie and GM I think Axl could sing Faith or Father figure Edited December 30, 2016 by Lucky girl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Wasn't familiar with his music far beyond Wake Me Up and Last Christmas, but just watched his performance in Paris on BBC iPlayer. By heck, he could sing! I once bought a pair of shoes off ebay and the seller also threw in a George Michael album, feel bad for dumping it without giving it a listen first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB. Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I never was a real fan of Wham! actually, not in those days, mainly cause I was a weird troubled kid?. I did later on loved his solo work a lot though. Listen without prejudice, older, patience are truly solid mature albums. I love those a lot. He had such a pretty voice, good face and he seemed to be such a nice guy. I watched Wham! songs again the lasts days and like them now a lot more? Well mostly the ballads, where you already could hear, there was a true songwriter in him. It's a shame all people could talk about are his arrests later on in his life, while he deserved so much more credit. He was not only a popstar or a writer of great popsongs, he was also a songwriter. Ugh, I am still a bit upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up when i did George Michael was LITERALLY the most uncoolest person in the world to like and I can honestly not remember one single solitary person who ever liked em...except for this guy who came from Pakistan who, as you said, listened without prejudice because I guess to him there was no baggage to the whole thing. But fuck that, I still ain't havin' him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) You do know, Listen without Prejudice is an actual album of his right? I agree though, he was certainly not the coolest person to listen to, specially not in his Faith period. Well not in Europe, cause in the US he actual was. Then he killed his fame there with the whole Sony lawsuit. Anyway, I only started listen to him when he released his album Older. It was the greatest cd to make out on?. I believe older was also a turningpoint for him, cause it was a lot more mature, he gained a lot of new fans with that album. You know mature ones. You should listen to it Len. It's a good album. I think, he was very underrated. Edited December 30, 2016 by MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fuck that, I still ain't havin' him I have to agree. No disrespect to the guy, but I'll pretty much remember him for wearing daisy dukes and getting arrested for whacking off in a bathroom. Again, no disrespect, but I was never a fan and his death doesn't change that. Not trying to diss him either, just it is what it is, may he RIP and I sincerely mean that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 so now i am hearing he was on heroin for years and that he was ashamed cos he ballooned up to 300 lbs and was a recluse. whatever people say though i thought he was a decent person, gave a lot of money to charities and such.
