magisme Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 New music isn't really relevant for anyone but the die-hard fans (us...). People just wanna hear the good ol'greatest hits that'll never grow old and by the looks of it, Axl seems to agree... It's called making a living out of touring & making (almost) everybody along happy. Nothing wrong with that.Fine. Nothing wrong with that. Axl is the frontman of a cover band, then. Just like many of us have been saying for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Lebanese are great people and they deserve something nice once in a while. They've had far too much shit falling on them for the last thirty years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think he sang the Israeli national anthem at a show last year. No idea if this makes GNR a political enemy but I suppose there could be some crowd heckling.I suspect Axl identifies on some level with warring countries.

Just like many of us have been saying for years.I am going to have to chime in on this. there is one thing that so many of you fail to think about when the bitching starts about the constant touring and perhaps it is because many of you are too young to remember this, but when GNR disappeared in 1993 at the peak, the legions of fans they had THEN ( myself included ), only had a window of time of 4-5 years to see them, and many of us only ever had them come through our town once or twice... I truly believe this constant touring also in part is Axl making it up to the fans that made them by giving us these tours and giving fans like myself the chance to see him live like we never really got to back in the day.

No idea if this makes GNR a political enemy but I suppose there could be some crowd heckling.I suspect Axl identifies on some level with warring countries.Yep just saw that a couple of days ago, there was like ten guy on twitter who badgered BBF and GNR.They wrote this on facebook :Dear GNRAny disregard of our immediate request, that you apologize for playing the Israeli Anthem in 2012, would mean only one thing: A disregard for our suffering. In that case we would have to mobilize, by all possible civil means guaranteed by the Lebanese Law, our people, in the camps and outside, against your performance in Lebanon. We refuse to enter history as mere dancers to the melody of death of our Lebanese and Palestinian children.Finally a message to the organizers of this event: Resisting the Israeli enemy is a duty; boycotting supporters of Israel is a national demand. It is absolutely unacceptable that you compromise the blood of the Lebanese and Palestinian people. Cancel this performance or demand an apology from the band!Funny because Ron is jewish.

Just like many of us have been saying for years.You say how bad his voice is now but you want new music, do you think he could record music in a good voice when you think he sounds so bad at concerts?Yes, I do. The good moments are fewer and farther between than ever, but he still has it for moments (even the occasional whole song!) at some shows. I have no doubt that he could pull it together to sound good on a studio recording.BTW, I do have a few posts about recent concerts saying he sounds pretty good on certain songs. I don't say he sounds bad just for the sake of saying he sounds bad. This whole "hater" thing is largely a myth. Maybe there are one or two people who will despise whatever Axl does, but those people usually just drop one liners, many of which are kind of funny if people would relax a bit. Most of us WANT him to sound good, and I believe that he could if he got into shape and amped up his give a fuck. But even if he does neither of those, a lot can be taken care of in the studio.

jimb0 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 When you consider all the effort he has to put into a full show on a consistent tour verses the lax schedule he could make for himself recording vocals over a period of months it's totally possible for Axl to pull off studio magic. Look how awesome Angel Down came out and that was just one day on New Years Day.Plus consider how many times Axl has lost and regained his rasp. He re-recorded AFD SCOM with full rasp, Live Era Parts, Lost it in 2001-2002, Regained it in 2006, Did it on Angel Down, Did it in 2009-2010 and lost it again. Then he regained it at one UCAP show and then lost it again.With actually giving a damn Axl is completely capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studio magic!First of all, it's pretty clear he can use rasp when he wants to, second there's the stamina factor, third, studio magic, fourth, he can do a million takes if he wants to, and last, he recorded Chinese Democracy while in mickey mouse mode back in 1999-2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't he been singing Jungle with rasp at every single show with the exception of a line or two in the last few years?So isn't it a obvious sign of choice of singing style for the most part, and not a case of losing and regaining his voice from one song to another? Imo the early 2000's may have been the only time he may have not been able to pull it off.Just a guess though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
