Duwz Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) It’s funny how people go to a concert to see 2 or 3 almost good song performances Edited February 2, 2020 by Duwz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Duff and Slash and everyone else involved can hear the deterioration in Axl's voice, why on earth does nobody say anything...it makes me wonder at Axl's mental health. I mean what are you going to do? As much as people give Axl shit on here he is trying to sound as good as he can, this is just the current state of his voice. And if people keep paying to go see them there's no reason for Slash and Duff to take issue with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskerTornado Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Axl has sounded much worse than this before...it isn't really bad. The sound itself sounded off for the first half, tonally sounded really weird. Twitter is a cesspool of negativity and unfunny try hards. So when it comes to stuff like this, there won't be any positivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangom1 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Didn't think he sounded that bad tbh, not as weak as Sweet Child can sound sometimes, this performance is 100 times better than the pro shot version we got from the Troubadour 2016 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different when you actually watch live, you'll feel Axl's energy and he'll keep you enthusiastic all show long. I know I get to be a fuckhead from Iowa sometimes. But when you watch the actual show live, it's fucking mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Axl's sounded worse, but still I wouldn't show anyone live videos to promote this band. Axl is still a great singer compared to most. The problem is that he will forever be compared to his young self and that's why people are going to say he sucks now. So promoting the band with live performances is a bad idea. Live videos will always be full of negativity. One thing that the band is most likely still good at is creating new music. So do that instead! Release new music. That way you'll get new fans and they want to come see you live even if Axl doesn't sound like he used to. New music is the way promote this band. Not live performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He puts in effort while on stage but doesn't seem to put in all the other work needed give the best performance possible. Is what it is at this point. Better than nothing. I agree. We know he does have a vocal coach but he doesnt rehearse with the band before a tour starts. Maybe because he feels he doesnt want to strain to much and conserve the vocal energy for the shows. But i wpuld have thought vocal chords are like muscles the more you work on themthe stronger they become...to a point. Im sure the extra weight hes carrying cant be helping his diaphram technique, and yes im aware of opera singers that are of a heavy upper build that have excellent diaphram and vocal control. I think he does care about the type of performance to put on, but the higher registers arnt there anymore, you can tell his face almost explodes trying to get more out but kind of looks like daffy duck where no more power comes out. Maybe the acdc stint has fucked his vocals. I think 2 things he has to do, Lose the upper to mid weight. Start introducing more lower register songs into the list. The lower stuff seems to be his strengths We arnt at bon jovi/paul stanley lip syching yet....i dont know what else he can do at this point. His vocals in 2010 from others that saw the band were good, so what has changed?. Maybe its his pride not wanting to admit the upper register songs he cannot maintain consistantly.

Dangom1 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 When Axl spoke about Kobe before Heaven's door, he said something about leaving rehearsal, so he was rehearsing before the Miami show, maybe just maybe, they are working on new songs for the upcoming tour and didn't feel ready to do it in Miami? Fingers crossed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the "bon jovi disaster thread" the vocals dont seem to excite fans. The lip synching i was probably directing that to Paul stanley.

WildStar Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 3 hours ago, MaskingApathy said: It's cool that they did You're Crazy but it's pretty clear that Axl didn't rehearse at all. Otherwise it's just another regular show. Good that they dropped the other covers but I wouldn't be surprised if some of them return later. I caught the highlights on tv and of course the only person on stage there who is worth the price of admission is Slash. Would've been nice to see a song that wasn't SCOM but at least we get GnR on network tv. Honestly I'm just waiting around until they get SMKC going again. It won't be this year but possibly next. I would like a nice long tour though, not the shorter one they did for LTD. I go to GNR shows to see Slash, Duff and Fortus as much as to see Axl. If there's no new GNR music then bring on SMKC. Such a great band. I'm in for a longer tour next time and they'll definitely have new music. I'd have more of Duff and The Shooter band too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah he definitely lost some weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
