The guy has one of the widest range ever, he lost his iconic high notes but he can still sing and if he wanted to he could make an album with vocals that would still be challenging for many.
Honestly I think it would come out very good, I have a dream of them recording a country influenced album with a studio version of Wichita lineman and a couple of originals as singles.
I think it’s his ego that won’t allow it, honestly it’s a shame cause I think those high pitched 80s voices are kind of out of style, while a mid range warm voice could make their music sound more contemporary.
True. I absolutely love Slash's new blues album. He showed us what he can do and how it can sound. Even now.
Duff's solo work is pretty solid too. Axl is the weakest link right now. It is what it is.
Unless Axl finds a way to use his lower register more effectively GNR is basically done for. I still believe Axl can pull this off... but he has to want it. And maybe he just doesn't want to change and still believes people want to hear him scream like a dying cat.
Granted, part of this is my personal preference. I also believe Myles Kennedy's mid range sounds much better than his high pitched whine.
Of course it's subjective. I'm not a fan of Ashba and as much as I love Bumble he could sometimes put a little too much of his style on the classic gnr songs live
I thought 2017 for the most part was still solid from Axl, it was 2018 to present that went down the shitter
Funnily enough the band performance seemed to get worse in tandem with Axls voice, that should have been the sign to wrap up the NITL touring... But genius management thought otherwise. Make the short term and kill your singers voice, smart!
I just remembered that last night I had an inception-style dream (where I went two levels down) and in my dream within a dream I heard loud thunder and I still don’t know if it was from the real world or if it was all in my head lol
