After playing the same set so much over the last 2 years I would be so burned out. Couldn't hear these songs anymore. Don't know how they do it with so much energy and motivation. 

I don't think the setlist will be the same. 

Quite funny compilation...

I'm blown away... I had already lost hope to see a decent performance of Axl again, but in all the videos from this show I watched you can clearly see that he's trying especially hard to deliver a good vocal performance and he's really nailing it. I never thought I would this kind of stuff again! Thank you Axl.

Slash would have cornrows.

This professional recording really shows how bad Axl sounds on many songs. But I still enjoy it! Amazing to hear the NITL Tour finally in good quality. 

Maybe the name of the new album?

I'd ask Slash to do an interview together with Axl and speaking about everything that happened between 96 and 2016 and what were the real reasons for the reunion. 

Second question would be if he would ever reform Slash's Blues Ball. I really enjoyed that stuff back then. Love to hear Slash playing blues stuff and covers.

I think Axl just loves that guy. He makes him laugh and all that stuff and he's a great honest guy to be around with. And I think it's hard to find that kind of people when your name is Axl Rose - you know to find real friends, but I think Baz is one of them.

Axl's 99 voice was fucking killer, I will always be confused what happened between that and Vegas/Rio. 

Me too. 

When you say, he's saving his voice, I'm not sure of that... Because there are lots of videos of several performances where Axl is trying really hard to get some rasp and nothing's happening. Then I wonder why it still worked in 1999. It's all a mystery to me.

Listen to the second half of Rocket Queen. The song in general has entirely re-recorded vocals but nevertheless it's the second half to pay attention to. There's your "mickey" and/or Catcher voice. Stronger than what we're used to but there's the tonality you speak of. So, it was there, but he could also nail some pretty impressive cleaner screams and deep rasp as evident throughout the song.

But yeah, his 1999 voice is in a category all its own because his rasp hasn't sounded like that before or since. The "where do we go" section on that re-recorded Sweet Child O' Mine from the Big Daddy soundtrack is similar to his 1998/1999 Live Era voice.

But why didn't he use this voice anymore in 2001 at the live shows? When I see the footage of Rio, you can clearly see that he's at times really trying hard to get some rasp out of his throat.

Sorry. Gonna go out on a limb and say there's no chance they'll be doing that. Don't think we'll get much on the way of surprises set wise. But! Last time they kicked off a euro tour on Ireland they played TWAT so you never can tell. I just don't think they'll be doing any major overhaul even though they should. Flip the set, or open with jungle or nightrain OR pretty tied up (top choice) 

I'd like them to add Pretty Tied Up, Locomotive and Breakdown. That's all I ask for. And throw out Better. Man, how I hate that song live. The studio version is okay.

I would love to hear them player VR Slither....its on the setlist as an alternate song? a man can dream. 

 

Not anymore, dude. It's been thrown out.

Please change the fuckin' setlist for the start of the European leg.

I think it was the new King Kong movie. 

Hey guys,

I was just wondering when I read this other topic lately about the New Live Era overdubs. I was listening to that stuff and I thought: How can that be?

The overdub-voice on the Live Era recordings sounds not exactly, but quite similar to the old Axl from the 90ies. Still lots of rasps. Not as much, but still good.

And in the same year he recorded Oh my God and Cather in the Rye (we have the demo of that) and his voice sounds like today, totally clean and all that.

How can that be, that his voice changed so drastically in the same year? Was he just trying very hard in the Live-Era stuff to deliver the rasp or did he have an operation in the same year?

What do you think?

Am making a bluray of the Adelaide show! 

Herea a sample 

 

It's just disappointing that there's no really good videos from that show...

First time I Heard Slash kinda singing. 

Sounds really cool!

Hi guys,

dunno where else to put that. 

Can anyone give me a good programm (would be nice if it's free) to download 1080p Videos from Youtube? 

I've tried several ones, but most of them just doesn't work, especially if it's longer videos. 

Anyone have a tip?

Thank you so much and a have a nice weekend.

He's a really relaxed guy. Very cool.

I think it was because the venues were smaller and you could film more easily and closer.

But they have not played this show in Europe, yet. Only us , the hardcore fans, know and already saw this show and this setlist over and over..For the regular people this is still new 

Cmon - everybody in Europe knows it from Youtube - like me for example.
