tajandreas Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I absolutely love listening to recordings of Rock & Roll Thunder. For those that say he lost that midrange rasp, look no further than the verses. It's refreshing seeing him use that voice nowadays. Also understandable why he can't do it throughout a whole show, it's too much of a strain. I wonder what song he could apply it to in GNR? I'd love to hear the Estranged outtro with that voice 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Powerage5 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2016 Man, what an amazing night last night - I'm still buzzing after it. As I said earlier, we went up to our seats...and the section was closed because of poor sales. We got bumped from $50 seats up to side-stage, $150 seats. Already a great start to the evening. The gig was great, even better than Cleveland IMO. Axl sounded a lot stronger on the few songs I thought were a little off in Cleveland. There were a couple things a little goofy in this gig still, the most prominent being Axl fucking up the last verse on RNR Train. But all in all, it was a fantastic gig. The thing I'm loving most about seeing Axl in AC/DC is the the little things, he seems so much more candid with AC/DC. I remember specifically last night seeing him wipe off some sweat with a towel while onstage and thinking "Wow, you'd never see Axl do that with GN'R". I dunno, maybe I'm overthinking things But after the gig is when things really got great. @ZoSoRose and I had decided we wanted to try and find the hotel after the gig, since AC/DC and Axl have been so cool about meeting fans. He had a good idea on which hotel, and he was right. There were maybe 40-50 people there initially, but it thinned out a bit later on. Someone in AC/DC's management came out and told everyone it was one signature or one picture - couldn't have both. Stevie was the first to come out, about 12:15. He had a great sense of humor, cracking jokes every chance he got. We mentioned to him how much we appreciated having him in the band, and he gave both of us picks. For those of you less up on AC/DC stuff, it's impossible to get AC/DC picks, as they don't throw any out during gigs at all. Slade and Angus came out next, about 12:45. Slade was very personable, I told him he was my favorite AC/DC drummer and he seemed genuinely surprised to hear that Angus was really friendly, he was amazed when I told him I'm doing six gigs. Honestly, meeting him was just as big a deal to me as meeting Axl - AC/DC was my very first favorite band, and they've always had a really special place with me. On a list of people I never thought I'd meet, I'd probably put Angus even higher than Axl. About 1:30 the management guy came out again, and told us to line up again. Same rule about a picture or autograph. He took us up to Axl five people at a time, but we each got to approach him individually. He was quiet, but very friendly. I told him how much I've been enjoying the AC/DC gigs so far, and he just sort of nervously chuckled and said "Cool, glad to hear you're having a good time". The best bit though was when I asked for a picture he said "Of course" and before I could even think, he put his arm around me Still buzzing after last night, it was just so cool. Looking forward to another gig tomorrow, but I also have an Anthrax/Slayer show to get through tonight first... 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ZoSoRose Posted September 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2016 Show was KILLER. Our original seats were crap. Attendance in the upper bowl wasn't great so we got upgraded to excellent lower bowl seats. Axl sounded fucking unreal. The power behind his voice is like the Appetite days. Setlist was great too. After seeing this and NITLT in person, I can say I like his GNR voice for GNR and the screaming voice better for ACDC. In GNR he sings the songs more, and here he just sounds like a bat outta hell. It's fucking increadible, but I wouldn't want a lot of GNR songs sounding like that. The closest songs that need that are the Appetite songs, and he does a great job on those and sings in a similar style. He also does longer, more controlled screams with GNR whereas ACDC is more shorter, high powered screaming. Sounds great on those songs, I'm just happy things are the way they are in both bands voice wise. Just my opinion. He also runs around a lot less with ACDC. It was so weird /different/cool to see him with another band like this, in GNR he's lot more loose and crazy whereas with ACDC he's more subdued and focused on just sounding great. He still was active and dancing and stuff, you could just tell he was treating it like a job and focusing hard. He had great chemistry with Angus, too. Finally, as I said in the other thread, we decided to check a hotel out after the show. About 30-50 people there, a lot of them shitty ebayers who all knew each other and almost fought. There were a few real fans, too. Anyways, all of them made sure to meet every single one of us except Cliff Williams. Everyone was really nice, and Stevie Young gave me a guitar pick. The tour manager said we could pick an autograph from everyone or picture. I opted for pictures with everyone. After Angus, Stevie, and Chris Slade left it was about another 45 minutes for Axl. The crowd thinned a bit, and it was the same deal. I was surprised I didn't see Beta or Fernando, seemed like ACDCs manager was the only one watching us. Anyways, Axl was really nice. It was fucking awesome, so far I've met Axl, Slash, Duff, Bumble, DJ, Richard, and Dizzy from GNR. I'm pretty lucky. Awesome night and good way to cap off my Axl and GNR shenanigans this year 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Wow- fuckin pretty jealous of @ZoSoRose and @Powerage5 right there!
