ludurigan Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 axl rose showed us all last year that axl can sing like axl when he wants to its too bad that he apparently doesnt want to sing like that on the slash and duff tour so how about not do that for the whole show but pick one different song every show to sing like that -- to sing like axl? yes, 1 song per show. every show a different song. is that possible?

ironmt Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 You get 4 of those every night Easy, Brownstone, Jungle and Nightrain. One different song per night Isn't going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 No he cannot sing like he use to. If there was one gig in which he could have given a weak performance it was Ireland in 2010...instead he just sang the way he knew how, it was natural for him to use rasp and to use a chest voice. There is nothing natural about the way he sings now, it's miles from his natural low voice, So that means he lost his natural chest voice and had to resort to a head voice. He had no reason to make this switch...he wasn't cleaning up his voice for an album, or anything else. All we can do is speculate about what caused the loss of his 2010 voice. It won't return. I want to say ACDC was a return to form, but even that wasn't natural for him anymore and took a ton of vocal work to accomplish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Right, there's never enough threads about Axl's vocal performance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 these examples of a bored non effort performance by Axl should have given us his famous Mickey voice...but it didn't. The Mickey voice isn't an effort thing, it's a style choice. He chooses to sing the songs with his head voice that produces that sound. instead 2010 Dublin still produced some of his best vocals bc he's not exerting any energy and is singing in the voice (chest) he used that whole year which remained natural to him until something happened between the last show that year and rio 2011...now Axl wouldn't be able to pull off vocals like this again unless he put in a serious effort with vocal coaches and retrained himself to sing these songs...I'm afraid even then it would never sound as natural as it did in 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold top 78 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think Axl doesn't sound too bad on majority of the songs but the songs that need that bit of rasp are SCOM , YCBM , NR and PC. I think even if he chose one of those songs a night to sing like he can with AC/DC then that would be better than none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexC Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 He absolutely could sound like he does with AC/DC at every show he just can't be bothered putting in the effort. And by effort I don't just mean during the show, Axl always tries 100% during the show, I mean maintaining his voice and warming up etc. he's only willing to do that when he feels it's absolutely necessary. He must've done it a bit during the start of NITL but they've probably got all the footage they're gonna use for a DVD or whatever and now he's just content to half ass it for most of the way. It is what it is but it has nothing to do with capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 He still sounds like OG Axl on a good portion of the set list- Easy, Brownstone, Chinese, Jungle, Nightrain, OTGM/My Michelle, and there's probably more examples I'm not thinking of that suffice.

Just look at the numbers, about 5000 songs sung pre-2001 and more than 8000 song after. The helium voice is now his signature singing style.

The helium voice is now his signature singing style. i guess you are correct in a sense this nonsense clean voice that he used on his solo album (and that he's been using for the last "8.000" songs on his solo and threeunion tours) is exactly what you said -- that's how axl sings now and that's how hes been singing for the last 16 years but i dont think it will ever be considered "axl's signature style" not now, and not in the future thankfully he used his... huh... "original voice" on all GNR albums and on all GNR tours and it is by that voice -- that glorious, undisputed, unsurpassed, impossible to duplicate voice -- that's he will likely be remembered 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 or 1000 fucking years from now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it was so lengthy and vague that I got confused. he loves the 'Mickey' voice, or he is sure we love the 'Mickey' voice, or Slash told him that he loves the 'Mickey' voice and to use it more, or some songs need that type of singing to get modern, or.... Shall I ask him again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
