  1. Singing the verses like that sure is a choice. I hope someday in his autobiography we learn why he thinks that weak clean falsetto is the way to go. It's got to be either A) it's a last resort and the only way he can consistently sing at his age or B) too many yes men around him telling him it sounds good.
  2. I know it's a different setup entirely but there's like half the crowd that was there for the Metallica shows last weekend.
  3. Exactly. Which is why the AC/DC guy did it manually, that along with the previous commenter's point of not wanting to have an unused "open" mic gained up when between vocal lines. This was probably more the case with AC/DC since there wasn't much baritone in that set. I have a strong suspicion that the new Gnr FOH guy is not riding it manually and that's precisely what's causing the somewhat sloppy sounding extreme peaks and valleys in vocal signal this tour.
  4. Sorry it was a typo, I meant hardy. Basically a less robust signal. He was pretty much saying that by blasting the vox in Axl's ear it gives Axl the somewhat false impression that he's singing with enough force at times when he's actually not putting out much signal at all. When he said this it made a ton of sense to me especially if you listen to how Axl sings some parts of Estranged sometimes. He's barely moving the needle he's singing so quietly.
  5. FWIW I was lucky enough to do some work a few years back with AC/DC's FOH guy for the Axl tour and he said that's exactly what he did with Axl. He manually rode the compression gain all show. He said that in his opinion Axl's IEM guy blasts the vox too much which leads to Axl sometimes giving a less than hearty signal. If he said this about Axl on the AC/DC tour you can imagine it's 100x more problematic on the guns material where at times Axl is singing in the whispiest of falsetto.
  6. Why does Axl sing Prostitute in that manner? It could be a half decent song but it's doomed from the start when he approaches it with that no power kinda off key mewing. He doesn't even sound like a professional singer. This is not complaints complaints complaints, I generally think he's sounding decent for his age just wonder about his approach to this song. The style he chooses has zero chance for success.
  7. I wish they would rotate in a few more VR songs. Especially since VR is dead now.
