I like this litho! Could see it in 86 on telephone poles.

I predict they’ll Dead Horse for you guys! They need to capitalize on that flayed horse CGI.

Is it Stockholm Syndrome if I don't think Axl's Mickey voice isn't too terrible on Dead Horse?

Nah I hate that voice usually but it didn’t bug me for DH somehow.  

The post above is right about Locomotive, though.... when he switches to that low voice it’s great. He seems to be able to do that voice no problem, too, but maybe he thinks it doesn’t sound good or it sounds like he’s yelling or something, haha (since he switched to it halfway, maybe due to fatigue?). But even though it’s not raspy, it’s powerful and sounds Axl as f compared to Mickey.

Agreed, I think it would do more damage if anything.

That’s how much GNR fans love rasp.

get out the fuckin’ lasers 

If you kids don’t get onboard with Dead Horse we’re going to turn right around and play The Seeker again! Possibly Magic Bus!

Maybe we’ll ditch Locomotive for Behind Blue Eyes! So watch your mouths. 

Since they played Dead Horse....

what about Breakdown! How epic would that be.

Wow, really amazed with this version. I don't recall his voice sounding this strong on the 3 shows I attended in '16-'17 (Paris, Werchter and Graspop Metal Meeting) 

Yeah man I watched this show the other day and was like wait what?? That was pretty great! Slipped by me.

I actually found the whole messiness thing endearing... couldn’t autopilot and it felt way more interesting!

I don’t want them to be afraid of experimenting and trying shit out (the power of mygnr’s commentariat)! Obviously miss the rasp, but I don't think I’ve heard a GNR song where that high clean voice was better suited if he has to bust it out.

It would be siiiick if Axl did the acoustic, though. Back to back with Mr. Hudson!
 

Also nobody commented on the zombie horse cgi...

I wonder why they did Bad Apples twice and dropped it like a sack of bricks.

Garden of Eden I get, 'cause it's probably a pain to sing.

I barely heard a rasp in "smiling" when Axl got no air in their lungs (It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin) ,

That was funny... it was like oh shit the inner demon.... nope he's gone.

Warts?

haha, just like they took a risk playing a deep cut, it sounded pretty great and Slash fucked up the solo / timing was a little sketch but it didn't matter and everyone was vibing .

People are finally feeling it this leg of the tour and i dig the vibe Everyone here is giving. Rock on!! 🤘

Yeah that felt like a band warts and all. Takin' some risks!

I love hearing Slash play that style!

Mickey actually doesn't work too bad for DH, definitely not his his worst effort on this current set. 

 

Yeah I would be happy to hear that version if I was at a show! 

Did they mess up abit in the transitions near the end? Not that it matters. 

Still wish he played acoustic, though. 

These UYI deep cuts are working, baby!

Wow a literal zombie horse haha. 

Sounds pretty good!

Did Axl play acoustic?

For the first time since 2017, I watched Axl Rose trying to sound better in Sweet Child O mine. Not that he reached a raspy version, far from that, but at least he was trying at this show.

Has SCOM really ever sounded that great live since the 80's? What is the definitive live version in people's minds? 

I don't think I've ever really liked it live in any incarnation except for Ritz 88, which is the opposite of basically every other GNR song for me. 

I was really surprised when I saw how popular KOHD is on Spotify. Way more than Don't Cry, Patience and YCBM.... the ALBUM version...

Guns N' Roses - Shadow Of Your Love [Tijuana 2019] Margott https://bittubers.com/post/158a7de6-fb61-449a-9abd-2b2b7d0ae310

That kicks ass! Love Slash's descending run at 1:28. 

Really a highlight for them nowadays.... why don't they just write like 4-5 songs with that vocal range! Do a frenetic, punky little EP. Axl can rock that zone still apparently.

I'd say the opposite is true... yea songs like OTGM, Jungle, My Michelle, etc. had bits of Mickey in 2016 but it wasn't nearly enough to bring the songs down. Overall they were still way better in 2016 than they were in 2017-19.

And with Shadow, even when he's singing raspy, it's a shrieking sort of voice that doesn't sound nearly as 'natural' as his 2016 raspy voice did. It sounds uncomfortable, and he changes the phrasing or cuts off words to accommodate for the forced rasp.

I love that voice he does when he says “you gotta hunger for what you see” in Jungle sometimes. It’s super angry sounding... I wonder if that’s painful to do. 

I was just listening to the actual Live Era... 

Izzy’s playing on Brownstone is so damn tasteful! His non-gainy, rolled back tone and just that loose wrist....that rhythm under the solo.... just choppin’ it. It’s what set them apart from everyone else, man. I can’t stop saying it  .

/Poppin’ Them Thangs beat

fans can bitch, if they want, but Ax’ is crackin’ them jokeeees

But we get toy trucks and laundry bags and stuff..... It is absolutely insane that as big as Guns were all they ever released for live shows was the Tokyo set...

If I somehow ever saw a laundry bag in the wild I'd fucking tackle it, rip it to shreds... then shout Welcome to the Jungle at the owner and bust outta there. 

I think I was distracted by how cool Axl/DC was during 2016.... I tuned out on NITL after the initial "throne" shows which were pretty lackluster and then didn't tune in again until late 2017 when Axl's voice wasn't as strong... didn't realize some of those 2016 GNR shows were pretty damn solid, lineup gripes aside... "all things considered."

Axl get that olive branch extended, baby!

This guy loves you!

Plus four dildo-shaped silos?  Must be confirmation that Fortus is now considered a partner.

 

This is gold, man.
