Anthony Kiedis would be in deep shit without autotune (Melodyne, more specifically). I do think Axl's vocal degradation is the reason for his reluctance to release music since the mid-1990s. He did a number on himself on the UYI tour. No excuses. His voice had significantly recovered sometime in 03-04. He sounds great on Better, Shacklers, and Bach's 07 album, as well as sounding pretty great from 06-10 live. He could have re-recorded vocals on all those 99 tracks and released something pretty great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was supposed to sound like "a glam November Rain" or was that just another of the descriptions that are turning out to be way, way off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound like a douche, but I get the impression that a lot of people trying to describe GN'R tracks don't know much about music. Nu metal? Ska? Country? I wasn't too big on Atlas when the minute phone clip leaked, but the 2 higher quality clips are so good they make me wanna slap my grandma.

That's part of what I'm poking fun at and I believe deadslash was too. The people who have described these tracks over the years are either idiots or have never heard GN'R or have never heard the music they're referring to. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basic_GnR_Fan Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 So far I haven't heard a good hook on the leaks of this song. A lot of Axl's epics from that era are light on riffs and hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is that those songs didn’t need riffs. There’s enough going on texturally to be interesting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick85 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Surely if we calmly explain to Rick that he’s hurting our feelings by not leaking Atlas he’ll come through. 😄 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a number on himself on the UYI tour. To me it was total auto tuned and with todays recording of records it is common practice, no one should have an issue with it as analog is gone. Vocals change, Robert Plant doesn't sound the same either. Demo versions are different than the finished product. Look at AFD songs that the different recording sessions were released.

And i'm not gonna lie, i really dig Axl in the recent 14-second Atlas leak, even if it was altered. I don't usually like pop rock (which is what that part of Atlas sounded like), but it works!

The quality of these leaks (not audio quality) Hopefully these will not be on a new album or played live and be locked back in the vault never to see the light of day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, what most people think is autotune is just a heavy modulation filter. When it's used just to correct a little off-key part, it shouldn't make it sound "robotic" or artificial at all. Now THIS is how you should use autotune: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
