scooby845 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Wow... such a great throwback. Who remembers these years? Probably the last time Axl cared. Just look at him... singing like hell. Also, probably the last time we witnessed one of the riots/speeches -- about Bon Jovi sucking his dick. Good times indeed...

Popular Post WhazUp Posted February 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2020 In retrospect, it is a shame that Axl's 2010 voice was spent on the "DJ Ashba Years", even if 2016 was amazing too. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seely Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I remember watching the videos when that show first happened. Good memories. What I wouldn't have given to have been at that show... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR_RNR Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Absolutely love this gig. 2010 Axl is just unreal. Hiro ballroom 2012 is up there too. As is the rose bar 2010. Wish we'd get more of these now that slash is back. Surprised they've not signed up for MTV unplugged. It'd be a great way to release a new album without putting new music out. And they'd get to do as many covers as they liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great year for him. But his raspy voice in 2010 rivalled his UYI voice, he was a screamin' fuckin' demon on that tour and even Axl/DC wasn't as good as those shows. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ShadowOfTheWave Posted February 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2020 2010 was peak Axl Rose: 1.A monster vocally 2.Caring about new music, playing almost all of CD, playing CD II at parties. 3.Showing up sometimes as much as two hours late, walking off stage, refusing to leave the stage when going overtime. 4.Attacking a MYGNR moderator in an extremely profane rant. 5.Extreme Slash hate, his subtle dig "when he says he never killed no one that ain't exactly true" was by far the worst thing he ever said about him. In late 2011 Axl emerged a completely different person, but what a way for the real guy to go out! 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnuld Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) So I saw them at the Bearcy arena in Paris the day either before or after L’ARc. Axl was on fire. I hated that version of GNR for many reasons but Axl was excellent. His voice was super on point and powerful.

bdinan Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 He's like a fat neutered puppy compared to what he was from 2002-2010, 06-10 being his most recent peak vocal years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that we can't have prime Axl anymore :/ stinks his singing style isn't more natural to his register (not sure i'm using that correctly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that we can't have prime Axl anymore :/ stinks his singing style isn't more natural to his register (not sure i'm using that correctly) I think he changed his technique, I assume he burnt himself out by the end of the 2010 tour and maybe felt that he was at a standstill career wise - this is all assuming we take the hearsay as fact. The label supposedly rejecting a follow up album, DJ Ashba to be fired from the band and then the band to be dissolved and then the whole fiasco in Abu Dhabi which was supposedly going to lead to more firings. The chat back then was that he was going through the motions at the shows, I dunno if I agree with that, but the shows did seem like a routine. We were hoping for new music to be debuted at Rio 2011, but what we got was the opposite. More or less the sign of what was to come for the next 3 years until that era came to an end. I still prefer Axl's singing in 2016 though, especially the North America run, to the way he was chanting back in 2010. That may seem mental to some, but he had the right balance of rasp and clean, plus his clean voice had more power than it did from 2011/14. I also hope that a new album will get his arse back in gear and he'll be wanting to fire on all cylinders to promote fuck out of it with some sensational chanting.

It's more complicated than that, and theories are many. 2) What did actually happen in Abu Dhabi in 2010? I've seen several allusions but can't find anything of substance. The playlist looks normal, Axl sounded good... What was the fiasco about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaguns1982 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I thought axls best vocals were actually on the spaghetti incident, insane power and rasp, Clean. Was such a shame we had no tours from 94-99. It could have been awesome 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl touches on it on the interview he done on That Metal Show, but says they were betrayed big time in terms of business. The rumours at the time was that Tommy was pissed at something, very drunk and refusing to play. On your first point, I've got big love for his voice in 2001, particularly the HOB show.

Yeah, that much I've heard, except the Tommy thing (or I've forgotten since). I agree HoB was cool. Way better than Rio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
