I started with all the big AFD hits and went from there. I started with Appetite and moved to Illusions from there. I used to be an 87-93 purist and refused to listen to Chinese and now it's my favorite album by any band ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Axl was on his vocal top not in 87, not in 88, not in 91, but in 1992. Power-wise and everything else. I have spoken. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, that's not peak Axl, as he lost the versatility. 1993 > 1992 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I just learned recently in some documentary I watched that Slash replaced him in the band Steeler.. I assume the information was accurate but that was the first I remember hearing of it.. * I Just looked at the bands wiki and there is no mention of Slash but they definitely said it on some documentary I watched on Amazon prime. I watch a ton so I am not exactly sure which one it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught_in_a_Coma Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) I think the Illusion albums might be more of the "true" sound of GN'R than AFD. By that, I mean songs like Dust N' Bones, Breakdown, KOHD, Yesterdays, Bad Apples, Bad Obsession, 14 Years. Songs like that. Kind of a country/folksy tinge to the sound. Also I think there's kind of an experimental/artistic edge to their sound that is captured in stuff like Locomotive and Coma and those are found on the Illusion albums. Rocket Queen kind of has that in the masterful outro it switches to near the end of the song though and that's on AFD. I could be completely wrong here. It's just if I'm thinking of unpopular opinions, the idea that maybe the Illusions might be more the sound of what GN'R really is, that's all I've got off the top of my head Edited May 27, 2019 by Caught_in_a_Coma 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just if I'm thinking of unpopular opinions, the idea that maybe the Illusions might be more the sound of what GN'R really is, that's all I've got off the top of my head the sound they got in the Sorum era is the ideal sound of the band. UYI and TSI is the sound that is the perfect fit for GNR moniker. That big bombastic sound (Back off, YCBM, DTJ, Perfect crime, Right next door, Locomotive, Pretty tied up, Breakdown, Get in the ring...). AFD sounds like brats on speed. UYI is rock with brains and feel. Oddly, one common thought about UYI was that 'they are overproduced'. Once someone said that out loud, even the people who didn't own the cd's or were the fans of the band begaun repeating that mantra, yet, nobody could actually ever define 'overproduced' once asked about it. UYI', IMO, were perfect sound to the perfect band. Edited May 27, 2019 by shotsfired cro 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UYI', IMO, were perfect sound to the perfect band. For me, the over production comes in the mastering of the albums. I feel like somewhere along the way, we lost the great production value that's in AFD, and the hugeeeee production quality in TSI only shortly later. UYI does feel dated. If you listen to tracks like Dust N' Bones live vs. studio, the live sound (like from the Stockholm shows) seems like a more complete version. Maybe that's just me, but the live versions are far far superior, they sound as if the guys kept working on the tracks as the tour went on. The UYI versions feel like a facsimile in some parts. Does Double Talkin' Jive really seem like it was fully realized during the UYI I recording? The ballads definitely feel complete to me, although Don't Cry seems to drag on in the last few bars, and a banjo comes out of nowhere for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
