The Pasha demo? That was left off the box set along with the other Pasha tracks because Fernando didn’t know the Pasha sessions existed… not even joking 

For real? The demo of Nightrain with the alt intro was from the Pasha sessions wasn't it? I've been praying for a good quality version  for years and was so disappointed it wasn't included . Fucks sakes Fernando.

I think it was during the 2006 Trunk interview, Baz said he got into Axl's limo and Axl put on I wanna be somebody 

Even though I can't say I'm a big fan of majority of wasp's output, I dig the guys vocals.

-edit- just started listening to the first clip and the axl blasting wasp in the limo is brought up, ha.

Rumours are going around that Axl suffered a panic attack last night? 

 

IF true, I hope he's alright. As much as we all say we want Axl to sing in his low voice all the time (I don't personally) a singer having vocal.issues is incredibly tough mentally 

I can see that happening especially if it's true he had to go to the doctors the day before, he probably had a lot on his mind that made him anxious

Just checked out Jungle from the show and he sounds pretty good, even when going into the first verse, usually that's a bit rough.

It's Axl indeed. He uses his low register on Nightrain too (he sings "Nightrain" with his deep voice when the lead vocal says "I'm on the Nightrain"). It actually repeats during the outro solo. But that's really hard to hear in the mix.

Yep, when I finally got a good pair of headphones years ago I heard that. I remember posting about it on another gnr forum at the time and people said I was crazy lol

I really liked the Nightrain from the second Coachella show they did

I had always been under the impression that Axl had known Ron since around the UYI era but goes far back as 86'? That's crazy. RIP to one of the great vocal coaches.

I don’t know if this has been talked about, but…

Listening to shows from 1986-87, demos from ’86 and of course Appetite, you can tell that Axl’s voice was young and “tender”, without much scraping and so on. Even on the Marquee show (June ’87) and Whiskey (August ’87, WTTJ video recording), his voice remains the same as on the album, demos, or LA club shows; But then at the Ritz show (October ’87) his voice is rougher, scrapedier, and less high-pitched (but still very good). Then in ’88 he kept singing that new way, and all the shows are incredible in terms of his voice (except Ritz ’88, which doesn’t sound very good even if it’s epic.)

Does anyone know why his voice changed in such a short time? It seems to me something very curious, because except for the acoustic show in October ’87, his voice never sounded like it did in 1983-87.

He went on tour. That's it, it's pretty simple. You can't have a voice like Axl's and not have continuous shows impact it. Vocals get worn out, also there were probably shows in 87' that he forced it a little too much or his vocals weren't up to it but he performed anyway - stuff like that just adds to vocals being damaged and/or strained. That "tender" sound you're talking about is because it hadn't been put through the ringer yet with the appetite tour. No doubt he was discovering new ways to sing and express his range and perhaps he did alter his style somewhat to make it through tours but going through 87' to 88' had an impact on it.

Listened to SOYL and I'm surprised, that opening line he came really close to sounding just like he did back then, pretty impressive really and not a bad performance. hearing that just makes me think how he would sound if he got his vocals in shape as much as he did with ac/dc. Let's hope he continues to improve throughout the tour.

I really hope the nightrain demo we get is the one with the alt intro, fucking love that version and in better quality then the youtube vids for it? hell yes.

He's working with a vocal coach he worked with 20 years ago? That's interesting and lol if you sing the back in black stuff wrong you might not be singing again. That stuff much be a bitch to sing. You're doing an amazing job Axl!

Listening to it now and wow i think he actually acknowledged the Micky voice. He said he wanted his voice to be "clearer" for Chinese democracy and the way he sings it is better for him  then what he's doing at th moment (rasp?) it's hard to hear but I think that's what he said

Duff just said the same exact thing in his It's So Easy movie....  "Izzy, this is YOUR band"! 

 

 

 

Why Axl didn't sign off on it lol

Slash put ACDC before Axl's name, prepare for conspiracies.

That back in black was awesome, the way he owned the stage and walked with confidence, in front of all those people. I wonder if it takes him back to the illusion days.

That's pretty rough

He's definitely good for the GNR shows because he never takes his voice that high with that power for GNR songs, but ACDC songs he does this on several songs. So I think if it persist then it will be an ACDC issue where as GNR will sound the same 

Yeah that's true 

I hope he will be and it doesn't become a case of everyshow he's cracking and we all say "he'll be fine"

he's giving 110% at every show though even with what issues he's having (sick?) can't fault him at all 

I might of missed it in your post but what question did you ask him?

What the fuck is "mask"? 

I might of cringed a little when I heard that, I felt so bad for him.

I really hope it's not a sign his voice is blown 

Sorry if posted but here's For those about to rock

https://youtu.be/flkQLIeibUg

it doesn't sound healthy tbh, a lot of cracking with some dips into mickey. I really hope he's okay. That second verse gets a bit rough

Yeah I'm worried he might of done some damage to his voice, guess we will find out at the next few shows.

I would rather worry and be proven wrong then to keep thinking he's fine only for it to get worse 

Waiting for GN'R conspiracy theorists to say it's a sign that Slash still hates Axl

Lol wtf, that sounded weird
