I mean, really?? LOL It's like that comment Duff made when the played in Bolivia about how Axl was sounding better than ever. Then you watch any Axl/DC concert and realize how full of shit those people are just to make Axl happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynard Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Just now, Gem Archer said: can we please just bury the myth that he sounds better in person than on recordings? he sounds the same! Impossible. This is like the main fan myth right now. I understand when someone says the experience is different. That you don't pay attention to the vocals because of the energy, because of it being buried in the mix or by the crowd singing along. That is reasonable and understandable, something I can not disagree with. But if we're talking about his vocals, no, it won't sound different from YouTube, it won't magically be powerful or raspy or good. To some people, that doesn't affect their experience. I'm sure I would have fun at a GNR concert too but Axl's weak, thin, helium voice is too bad for me to ignore and would certainly bother me a bit. Wouldn't stop me from having fun, of course. A NITL bluray is not something I'd play for my friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working my way through Apollo show now and the lack of rasp is clear. Civil War is awful and he was slaying that song last summer. 54 minutes ago, Gem Archer said: can we please just bury the myth that he sounds better in person than on recordings? he sounds the same!

Pedrolg Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I doubt he will perform at that level with AC/Dc again. I truly believe he is losing his voice. GNR songs where he uses the AC/DC voice, such as the ending of NR are cracking all over the place. His voice is getting shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFGnR Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Voice sounds a bit worn and tired. Some songs are good, those in his ballpark, Jungle, Patience, Civil War etc. Some are ok, Easy. He totally cops out on Brownstone. Some are bad, YCBM, PC, NR. My Michelle is unlistenable right now. Edited July 21, 2017 by AFGnR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the consistent high notes in those songs. How many f'ing shows has the dude performed? Do anyone here research or understand the bilogical restraints of one's voice? The amount of "i think he just doesn't care anymore" conjecture is astounding If you all care so much why don't you seek out an established, professional vocal coach and ask them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the latter. What do you mean totally fucked? Listening to last nights show today he sounds pretty decent on a lot of it Axl has a very demanding vocal delivery and gives a demanding physical performance under the pressure of performing in front of countless amounts of people.

He uses rasp on certain lines of certain songs, and I'm not counting his lower voice obviously, so you're right, it's more like 90% mickey. The Euro leg and the Sirius broadcast has kinda knocked the wind outta my sails as far as the shows I'm seeing in September... I'm still stoked to hear Slash and Duff rip through the songs but, Axl gonna Axl. I think he could still bring the 2016 voice, but chooses not to for whatever reason (probably longevity). He sounds great on songs like Easy, DTJ, CD, usually Brownstone, and it seems like he can transition to a raspy voice easier that way too, but that clean falsetto voice is just not good.

Tom-Ass Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 He sounds ok when he goes all out but the majority of the show he doesn't sound good anymore.. Songs Like Jungle, ISO, Out Ta Get Me, Don't Cry and Brownstone are usually really good... Axl is still a really good front man but if Slash wasn't in the band I wouldn't be following him.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will get to the point where Slash will not be enough to keep interest. The frontman is very important to a band. Especially GNR. Without Axl's vocals, it is not GNR Edited July 22, 2017 by SWINGTRADER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexRoyal Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 A responsible singer (of whom is getting paid an insane amount of money to be one) takes care of their vocal chords/body A responsible singer performs necessary practices to keep their voice in shape A responsible singer consults specialists to keep their voice in best form Axl is not a responsible singer.

I think he's just exhausted vocally after the grueling Euro leg. Dude needs to rest. Also, the very real fact is that his voice is slowly but surely losing its power. He barely has any at the Apollo show. Perhaps it's time to sing more of the lower tone/register songs like ISE, Brownstone, Don't Cry, etc and either retire certain songs like YCBM or sing them in a different tone (lower register). It will still kick ass and he'll sound good. win/win situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems fucking suicidal to take that on again given how he sounds right now. Cutting an album with ac/dc is one thing, touring those songs is something else entirely.

Two hours would be enough imo and drop Yesterday's and My Michelle, they sound horrible and they sounded horrible in person when I saw him, not just on scopes and YouTube.

Chuzeville Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 People who mention aging to explain Axl's declining vocal abilities should take a look at McCartney's; it's not so good now, but he still was a great singer in his late 60s--and he did his fair share of shouting over the years.
