Popular Post Towelie Posted April 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Isn't it amazing how so many of us are clamoring for new music from a guy who hasn't been able to sing his own songs without sounding like Herbert the Pervert for over a decade? Factor in that he hasn't made a successful album since 1991, and hasn't released any music at all for 12 years and it really reflects badly on us, more than him at this stage. Why the fuck do we still care? Edited April 12, 2020 by Towelie 7 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumandraisin Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Yay. Good to have something new especially with such a cool set list. I really hope they keep this set for another few years at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djura11 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Axl gave an interview ahead of this concert. So it was a sign that something was being recorded, even if it was just this concert :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTJ80 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Cool to know this is out there. But why oh why doesn’t something cool from 2016 (apart from Vegas) leak IEM/soundboard wise?! 🙄 If this thread said - Dodger 2016 IEM/soundboard leaked there would have been a meltdown!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the fuck do we still care? I have a friend of mine, early 40s thats a huge metallica fan. He was a huge fan in high school and has stayed a fan of the band. He gives me so much shit as a gnr fan, because there has been zero from 93 to 08 and nothing since. No albums,no streaming of old gigs, nada. Compared to how many albums, and how upto date metallicas website is, it makes gnr look incompetant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Listening to Slither, I really didn't think Axl sounded that bad. Sure it could be better, but it's ok I guess. Coma is really bad though. The dry mix (or lack of it) and the inverted stereo channels are kinda annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl4yer Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I enjoy it more than Rio 17, Forum and apollo. I think it’s decent. With good mixing and mastering it could be a very enjoyable listen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyIce3924 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Obviously a big takeaway is how far Axl’s pipes have really slipped down. That’s not to hate on him or anything, it’s more tragic than anything really. But also this was pretty eye opening for me in the sense that Frank is not right for this band. I’m not even a Frank basher or anything, and I happen to think he’s a great drummer. But he is not the right man for this job. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No albums,no streaming of old gigs, nada. Compared to how many albums, and how upto date metallicas website is, it makes gnr look incompetant. He's not wrong, what's more frustrating is GN'R went from huge amounts of success, to nothing; not because they couldn't write shit, there wasn't even a damn chance.. I would get be fine if they had gave it the ol' college try and 2 albums or so were meh. But, considering how much great material came individually, CD, Contraband, Izzy's first couple of solo albums, Slash's multiple solo projects, hell-even Pawnshop Guitars. They definitely could've released at least 1 more great album. What adds to it, is the huge back catalog of great live shows we'll never hear in soundboard. I've always argued GN'R is a better live band than in the studio, hell one of the best; but, they haven't given themselves the ability to showcase that. UYI DVD's suck. Live Era sucks. Most of the soundboards suck (I mean quality wise, looking at you Indiana, Rock in Rio, St. Louis). I just want a live GN'R concert website to buy soundboards from :'( Edited April 12, 2020 by UsedYourIllusion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakDown2014 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 The band sounded way better during any of the Chinese Democracy eras imo, and I'm not even considering Axl's performance 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Some of these songs are really bad... Better, This I Love and Yesterdays stand out as the worst (so far). Frank stood out on SOYL too (not in a good way). There are plenty of moments where Axl's rasp sounds really forced and unpleasant, and he slurs the words. Wichita Lineman, unsurprisingly, is one of the best songs from this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't be surprised, there's maybe 6 tracks Axl sounds good on. Could be about 12, but they refuse to adjust playing to suit his voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some decent moments on the lower-register songs, but overall he sounds like someone throat-punched a chain-smoking grandma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Axl needs a vocal coach, that much is clear. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs to pick songs from the catalogue which suit his current voice capabilities. It’s such an easy fix....but also agree a vocal coach is a must to maximise what he has left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the fuck do we still care? You are a fun person all you do is bitch about Axl dammed if he does dammed if he doesn't. He can release a surprise album tomorrow and you would find something to bitch Also, Chinese Democracy was certified platinum in multiple countries including the USA it was also a very successful album internationally . If you want to say outlandish statements back it up with evidence Edited April 12, 2020 by Gibsonfender2323 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
