Usually I think people are overreacting about Axl vocals when I see a lot of good feedback, but yes, his Madagascar performance in this show is amazing.

Agreed.  

He looked heavier in 2019/2020 than in 2010-2014.

Yeah, both Axl and Slash were much better on SoD at this show than when it was performed at Glasgow earlier this year 👍🏽

Love Slash, but WTF is he doing in SoD solo? It was painful to listen. He is not out of tune, but nothing works

I’ve listened to SCOM and NR and it were very good versions considering his 2022/2023 standard 

I don’t know if he has gained weight or just a bad choose of shirts sizes.

Is this show still happening?

Yes

A speed recovery for Axl and good luck for St Louis fans. Hope they will be back soon and give an amazing show.

I wish Yoda were still around to conjure the spirit of Ron Anderson from beyond the grave to fix this vocal catastrophe. 

Ron Anderson was around in bad Axl moments too. 
Of course a teacher helps, but it depends on Axl.

There is no working on his medium range, taking a break, hiring vocal coach or whatever anymore. His classic voice is simply not coming back. The fact that Axl's baritone voice is still this powerful and he has such control over it just shows that he takes care of his instrument, it is in as good a shape as it can be at this point. Axl's upper range is dying due to age and use, it is what it is. There is no way in the world he would be able to hit the kind of notes he does on stuff like TWAT without a lot of work.

Baritone sounds like an actual world famous professional singer, not someone at a bad karaoke. He should use it on most songs, and still bring out a couple of screens in falsetto here and there. 

Sorry, but i’ve been around for over 25 years. We cannot say his voice is not coming back.

1. I didn’t see anyone here who has criticizing his baritone voice. I just wanted to clarify that using falsetto fucks dynamics of the songs way more because it’s too soft and weak. It’s just not a technique made for songs like You Could Be Mine.

2. May I ask why would you prefer him to retire? Some songs would sound off, e.g. Jungle, Reckless or Shadow but these songs are still somewhat decent live especially Reckless Life. I see nothing wrong with Estranged, Civil War being sung that way. I think it sounds pretty good and his alterations of melodies are pretty interesting. I could also see YCBM and Hard Skool with his Chinese Democracy vocals. It could sound badass if done right.

So I don’t really understand what you’re problem. Especially when he’s using this voice in a lot of songs. (ISE, BO,PTU,Brownstone,Absurd,KOHD,DOTF,CD,Patience,Don’t Cry, half of Estranged, Wichita, etc.) 

Are we considering his Chinese democracy chorus voice “Baritone”?

…and falsetto doesn’t?

This entire discussion about dynamics is complete bullshit.

Dynamics are about loudness, not pitch. And well, usually high register is the loudest but not when you’re using fucking falsetto. Listen to any of his performances this year where he’s using both registers (e.g. Brownstone or PTU) and notice that he’s upper range is barely audible compared to his chest voice. It’s so weak that he may as well whisper the lyrics. Then talk about taking away „dynamics” or „energy”. 

One of the biggest problems nowadays is thinking that the world is binary. Nobody here is defending falsetto or Mickey just because doesn’t like the Baritone voice.
I prefer much more Axl working in his medium register, taking a break, or even retiring, than singing GN’R catalog in Baritone voice. 

In my opinion, Mickey does not sound good, but full baritone kills the dynamics of how Guns N’ Roses songs were composed and meant to be sung. It’s like putting Eddie Vedder (and I love PJ) to sing GN’R or playing guitar without Overdrive pedal

lol
always fucking blaming the crew when he can't sing shit

Did he blame the crew? Or its just your stupid assumption?

I don’t think he has full recovered since Dublin 2022, to be honest.

What a great performance of Coma. I usually don’t like this song live and it was great 

Axl is sounding normal. No voice cracks.

Just listened to the “new” perhaps chorus and even that I didn’t have any problem with the way Axl sang in the first shows, I think it works better this way

As a singer, I personally disagree and am stunned Axl is struggling with it to the amount he currently is.

I think the chorus is one of the hardest and has no space to breath properly. And Axl almost nailed it live. 

But I agree that the verses are “easy” and he was changing voices during the live show. A Rehearsal would fix that.

With the music video of Perhaps... it feels like a farewell. A Feeling of a ending of GN'R and Axl will retire soon. 

I don’t have the same feeling.
The video only have new footages, nothing from the old times. 

Loved the chorus 

Lol. GN’R fan never learns:

looking for songs played at setlist.fm, searching for new songs at Spotify…

If you guys wants baritone, go listen to Eddie Vedder and the monotone voice. 
Axl has to improve his high voice, not sing full baritone

I'm expecting a late start into a short set with a hungover Axl sounding like shit from partying last night. But I hope for the best for those attending in person. May you get a great show.

If they had any balls left they'd start the show with Absurd, Hard Skool and Perhaps as the first three songs and then do their usual routine. Not gonna happen, I know.

That party happened on Wednesday. So it’s not “last night”
