I am sure it will probably be closer to the show date, but I know some people were waiting to get VIP until they found out if they were going to be at the main stage where GN'R is playing. GN'R are playing the Barrel Stage. The VIP is not worth it unless you really plan to take advantage of the VIP area and it's "perks". In terms of the show itself, it has no advantage.

Let me think for a second... what would be a real reunion? The return of an ex-junkie and a Mr. Inconsistency? Well, this way we wouldn't have seen a new album at all. Moreover, the whole "reunion" thing wouldn't have last long. For sure, would've been glorious, but short. That's too orthodox.

If we disqualified Guns for being ex-junkies and inconsistent, Rose, Slash and Duff would lose their jobs also. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed! But, at least they've kept addictions in hands, was together till the end and finally have settled up their shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess his situation with Axl probably isn’t much different from Adler’s. Time heals all wounds. YCBM and Estranged would be my picks.

YCBM was the first song that I thought of when I think of Sorum. Just a pity it’s one of Axl's weaker songs 😔. Locomotive would be the dream song with Sorum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have just went with it. “Yeah bro, they usually split their full set up into thirds and you never know which songs you’re gonna get. Last time this happened I got all the cover songs the night I went. It was brutal, but that’s the risk you take.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 On 2019-04-06 at 7:21 PM, Lies They Tell said: I'd like to know the psychology behind these kind of responses. Do people feel threatened by good argumentation, so they feel like they're been attacked, no matter how calmly you try to explain your views. Nah! You would not enjoy current Axl's version of Your Crazy. Trust me! Axl can't do the high pitched raspy singing it requires. Perhaps the fast version might work for you though cause it's full of screaming. Patience for example has like about 5 seconds of Axl's clean voice. Other than that he sounds like 2010 Axl throughout the whole song. Hence 95% amazing. Facts are facts and they don't change no matter how many laughing emojies you use in your posts. There is nothing wrong with Axl's clean voice. I'm a huge fan of 2001-2002 era. But you're right, he sounds great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right, he sounds great! That's one reason why these discussions about Axl's voice are difficult, cause people have so different opinions about what sounds bad. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Axl's voice in the 2001-2002 era. But I do think that the clean voice fits some songs. It fit some songs then and it fits some songs now. A lot of the times when people dislike Axl's current voice it's mostly because of the lack of rasp when he's singing those high notes. But it's difficult to talk about these things cause you never know exactly what the other persons preferences are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clean, but still piercing and powerful. He sounded similar at times in 2006 as well, that was probably the best year for his clean voice since the 80's/early 90's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we are talking about something different. I never heard the voice I am talking about until that 2001 Rock In RIO show and the show I saw that tour.. Then on CD and all the time now.. I'm specifically talking about his 1986-early '87 voice, which is different but comparable to the voice he used at the HOB 2001 show. If you listen to the '86 bootlegs his voice is sharp but not overly raspy - nothing like what it became by 1988. It was clean but still powerful. At Rio 2001 and plenty of 2002 shows, that wasn't necessarily the case, but there were times on that tour where he did channel his 'classic voice', Vegas '01 and Columbus '02 being some good examples. Again, he obviously sounded older in the 2000's, but when he had power behind the clean voice it wasn't that far removed from his early vocal styles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl's voice was noticeably cleaner than what it would become, but was still very powerful. It's relatively comparative with Axl's clean vocals later in life, and i would argue that during the past three years (and early 2000's), Axl actually sounded closer to his original self than he had in years.

I mostly agree, but one thing that I always thought sounded similar in quality and tone was the way he hit the "oh freed of oll the chains" line from the 2002 VMAs Madagascar performance and the way he hits "all i ever wanted was for you to know..." from the album version of rocket queen Sounds way more strong when he hits the notes head on, rather than trailing up from his lower register Edited April 11, 2019 by Mendez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
