Pishy Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Based strictly on this performance, Axl wears the crown. Mick tried to kick it up when Axl took over with his dancing but couldn't do it. Axl shined like the crazy ruby he is. Izzy was glorious , he looked like he was really enjoying himself , in his element for sure Edited November 3, 2017 by Pishy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'd argue that's one of the top 10 of Axl's best performances...pure power in his voice. Couldn't do it today in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoking guns Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Prime Era Axl right here. His opening few lines were so fucking glorious. What a great song! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Always was one of my favorite performances. Axl‘s voice, his moves, the whole attitude made everything else look pale in comparison. Mick‘s moves were great but Axl‘s were just glorious. His prime! Compared to Tom Petty Mick couldn’t smile so much at Axl‘s talent, it seems. Even though we know Axl wasn’t there for rehearsals, nobody knew where he was and was pissing everyone off. Maybe understandable, still such a great talent. Seeing Izzy perform is always a sight for my sore eyes, he never gets any camera time. He looks quite happy up there with his idols.

Gnrcane Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 It seems that Mick Jagger was using a teleprompter before Axl started doing it. It also seems that Axl was a bit too inspired by the Rolling Stones concert setup. The Stones had the gospel style backup singers, keyboard player and a horn section at this show. It's like Axl wanted to emulate them but then took everything over the top in a circus-like GNR way. Izzy was inspired by the Stones' music, Axl got inspired by the wrong things from them. To the point of this thread, it was an incredible performance by Axl. He almost sung it like a little like a country singer. Almost like Kid Rock (yes, I know he isn't a country singer, per se) but with better vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vail2004 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Axl is in full on primal, next-level force by the 4:30 mark through the end...and Mick is clearly competing with him at that point (as opposed to Tom Petty who just appreciated him on the Free Fallin duet), really the ultimate compliment. When people ask me why I believe Axl was/is the best frontman rock has known, this is the clip I show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yep, without question one of his finest performances. Look at how he walks on full of swagger (and so young to be so confident going up against a living legend!) then he hears the crowd reaction and smiles in acknowledgment. I love that part. Beautiful vocals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) man listen to that crowd, I am not sure Mick was to happy about Axl and Izzy almost upstaging them, GNR were the last of these Rock N Roll bands that ruled the earth, Rolling Stones were the first, than Led Zeppelin, than GNR, unfortunately GNR's reign only lasted a few years on a side note the excessive snake dancing is definitely a little silly to look at now Edited November 3, 2017 by k12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 It really is a top shelf performance! I bet Axl could come near that now if he had that caliber of drummer. Well, Watts is untouchable, but I mean a Axl Rose Caliber drummer. Love that midrange, very "singing" voice he's using for most of it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Axl at his prime. This and the Freddie concert are definitely top 5. Free Fallin' at VVMA's is up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Actually I would LOVE LOVE someone to come upstage to Axl and musically duel him like Axl did to Mick. Someone cocky and wild and hugely talented, fearless in the eye of a living legend. Shouldn't be that hard, GnR only lives in nostalgia, the Stone were still strong and going at the time. But there is noone in rock n' roll self assured and wild enough to fucking sing Axl against the wall. Or is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only singer I've come across the last ten years that can hold a candle to Axl (either in his prime or even now) is Aaron Bruno of AWOLNation. He's got the range and the vocal power similar to what Axl in the late 80s and still does when he chooses to let it all out. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
