Did Matt Sorum use triggers during live shows? I need to know.

Dumb question but what are triggers?

Hahaha was Axl unique and the only singer to have a raspy voice..........

Yeah I know - I was drunk and 1hr from 2014 when I wrote it.

I was hoping to find some leads on other singers that have a voice like Axl so I could explore some new artists and get their music. I think some of the singers people have posted about do have a raspy singing voice but some I'm not so sure of?

I'm talking about that real gravel in their throat as they sing voice. Axl's was amazing and I was curious if there were any as good as his...

Cool examples people! Still not sure they come close to Axl though...

I was trying to think of other vocalists that had that scratchy / raspy vocals that we all loved in Axl. Couldn't really think of any. The only thing that came to mind was Brian Johnson with a song example being 'Thunderstruck' .

Can anyone else think of someone comparable? A singer and an example of a song they sing ???

Two roses. CD II. Seven strange leaves. "Seven". Hell, I'm bored

Shit no - I reckon your'e onto something !

I hope 2014 brings you and your family peace and happiness! Thanks for your awesome insight and contribution to the GnR online community. It is much appreciated.

Axl & Slash together would be the two necessary ingredients as far as the general public go. Adding Duff would be nice also, but Really just having Slash back would be good enough for me to be happy.

Hehe, Wasted's wasted!

Merry late Christmas dude.

Sydney's one is probably my favourite. Also was in the front row (hey Scott!!!) and was really getting into it.

Can't say the same for Knockin'...

G'day Mate! I agree with Knockin'... That song has always been a downer on a setlist in my opinion. Drags on too long and generally is a bit flat.

(Hope your'e well and have a great Christmas. )

Awesome song. One of my favourites. I've got it filmed on my iphone from front row in Sydney this year. I'll get around to posting it one day.

I wore my exclusive Nightrain t-shirt today. Got a few compliments. I like it much more than I thought I would!

Awesome!

Killer setlists ! I'd maybe also include Double Talkin Jive (Love that outro), and maybe a few from AFD like Its so Easy, Nightrain and Rocket Queen for the finale. I'm sure some of those could have been adapted a little to perform accoustically. Axl's voice would have been awesome and right out front to be heard loud & clear!

Ok guys - give a ten song setlist if they were to do an Unplugged gig back in the early nineties.

? What songs would have translated well in the unplugged sense?

One of my fav Axl moments - pure brilliance!

GnR already did just drop an album with no promotion or fanfare - it was Chinese Democracy , or have you forgotten about that already!

I saw Richard on tv (Aussie tv) the other day in the studio with the dead daises and it was great footage. Just wished it was footage of him in the studio with this other band.......

That is a cool tshirt.

I'd cough up $1000 to be part of a consortium to buy new Axl music. The deal would have to include at least 10 songs and a years subscription to the fabulous Nightrain....

Its funny how we all have different opinions.

For God's sake. Someone help them man post the picture of his ex's boob! C'mon HV - your'e a techno wizard!!!

Totally agree with Yesterdaze's point 18.

Thats why i have Paradise City as my phone's ringtone.

I've had a mancrush on Axl Rose since 1987. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

(Oh come on - I'm not the only one right???)

Haha is that why you dressed up for Brisbane do you still have the pic lol?

Na Mate, i dressed up for you, HV & J...

Without the internet back then it was harder to get information. When i saw them in 93 i didnt know what the setlist would be. Didnt really care - just worried about Axl turning up After a 16 hour bus trip i reckon i would have tore the stage apart myself if he didnt show up!

Define mancrush

Well, there is nothing gay about a mancrush okay - lets just get that straight! (Pardon the pun)...
