Torb Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 First of all, I apologize if the topic isn't meant to be here. Last night I was talking with a friend about November Rain and how much it has changed live, vocally speaking. We were trying to figure out when was the last tour where Axl used his rasp on it, so I said Bucharest 2010. Do you guys remember a more recent video? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 There really hasn't been anything since that he's really made a conscious effort to sing it differently. 2014 they played La Paz and had to slow it down so Frank wouldn't wear out and it sounded better musically but Axl didn't really improve on anything but the first few lines.

Gordon Comstock Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Bucharest was in the middle of the Euro tour, this was near the end so I'll say St. Ptersburg (first one that came to mind, there might be a later one) Despite poor video quality, Axl still sounds good. Crazy how that works, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went from the top of my head and went 'yea, that was a good one from near the end of the tour' I'll see if I can find the other one I'm thinking of then - he'd switched it up but Australia/Abu Dhabi but I'm pretty sure he was raspy on NR til the end of the Euro tour.

The Up Close and Personal tour started feb.2012 and there's already a pro-shot from this tour, that was in Chicago. Wereveryou look at it, the Vegas DVD is GnR most elaborate spectacle yet. Sure this was not the best performance from Axl during the residency, not to mention Izzy could have been there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 This is why I wouldn't even want him to attempt. It's Alright these days.. His voice on that was amazing back in the day.. It would just sound weird now if he sang it in that clean voice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Alright, I don't have time to watch more than this one but here's one from October 2010, Apologies about the St Petersburg show again, time to put the bong down perhaps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The last time he sounded like Axl Rose was 1993. Vegas 2016-current he's still trying to climb out from the debacle that was ('95ish-2015).....gonna take some time and "Patience". He's so used to performing down to the level of the band (again '95-2015). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounded great for periods of 2006-07, and in 2010 for the most part he sounded exactly like you'd expect an older Axl Rose to sound. He had some bad years, but give the guy credit where it's due... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any reason why he can't sing like this today. I don't believe he lost this voice. I think the 2010 Axl is still there, he just refuses to sing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think he blew his voice with AC/DC. But on the other hand his voice is more nasal now and comes through the mix pretty good, I feel he is really trying not to "mickey it". You can really tell cause his articulation is way better, not so much open throat like before. Edited June 20, 2017 by jockethebastard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November Rain always needs alot of rasp, that makes or brakes that song. The "lovers always come...." part in particular needs to be screamed out.

The last AC/DC show was one of the strongest. You don't know what you're talking about. Please don't chat nonesense. Why can't people separate. Just because Axl isn't putting as much effort into live performances 70 shows into a tour, doesn't mean he's "lost his voice" that opinion is quite literally "fake news." (I hate the phrase but it's actually relevant to this topic.) Glottal compression only occurs correctly if you warm up before a show. He's obviously not doing that anymore.

Do you guys remember a more recent video? why on earth would anyone search youtube videos or whatever other recordings of axl's nonsense solo career (when he was having very obvious and annoying voice issues, chosen by him or not) when you have at least two terrific professional recordings of GUNS N ROSES playing this song? even the audience recordings of this song from the GNR 1991 tour are far superior than anything ever done by axl since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Mickey Sure wasnt bad. Watching that vid from 2010 yes his voice was much better..but everything else was worse. DJ Ashba instead of Slash, butchered solos, an awful line up overall. And the awful moustache was there. I don't think many people realize how lucky we are that it's gone, it could come back anytime! If I had to choose I'd pick seeing a 2017 show over a 2010 one.
