That poster was once featured on an episode of Saved By the Bell.

I thought you only posted in the selfies thread

What kind of car do you have?

Post a pic!

To be on topic w/ this thread...

Janis Joplin or Nazareth's singer Dan McCafferty.

Vocally speaking Axl was at his best in 1999.

sorry, you totally lost it there.

How so?

Have you listened to the 3 1999 demos, Live Era and Big Daddy SCOM?

His rasp (I hate that word) was powerful and his cleans had an amazing delicacy to them that he hasn't been able to replicate since.

followed GN'R since 1989 and know about Axl's voice issues pretty well.

the SCOM/Big Daddy is (not only) vocally WEAK and nothing compared to his best UYI times. i've been working on a LIVE ERA-project where you can watch SCOM/Paris92 and switch the audio from Paris92 live to Live Era....and it's really disappointing how weak it is compared to the live show. IMO Axl's voice peaked in 4/1992, exspecially for his strong rasp (check FM92, Chicago92, Oklahoma92) but he had lots of good shows before and after, too.

the 3x 1999 demos have about 95% the same vocal tracks/recordings than the ones being released on CD, right? i do like parts of them but his voice simply sound weaker, not strong enough. might be an aging process, lack of rehearsing, intention or even a mix of those.

I'm with ya. He sounded SO much better back in the day. His vocals were forced imo in the 1999 Live Era overdubs. The demos we have sound good, and i'm not contesting that. Just the live era overdubs.

Make that 2 soundtrack songs, a studio album full of vocals from that period, a live album full of re-recorded vocals, a leaked clip and the demos.

There is more than enough vocal work from that period to make a judgment about it. Not to mention the fact that the entire point is that I want to hear more from that year, hence the reason why I want to hear the re-recorded AFD.

So you think Axl's voice from '99 (e.g. the vocal dubs on Live Era) is better than Axl's voice during the AFD era?

Yes. No contest.

Well, there's no contest in your mind anyway...personally I find the Live Era dubs inferior...but to each his own.

Agreed with that. I'm not one of these people that love slash either, in fact I really don't like him. But Axl's overdubs on Life Era give it a more... shall I say fake feel? You could tell something wasn't right. First time I heard it (not even a big fan at the time) I thought something wasn't right. I knew how Axl sounded, and that definitely wasn't it. He didn't need over dubs, most of the recordings I'm sure were fine w/ a few minor touch ups.

Watch the part where he puts the mic to Axl (starting arounf 1:50). The interviewer is like rubbing his back and playing with his hair or some shit. Pretty weird!

The fuck?!#* That is weird!

I haven't seen that before so thanks. I know some here have seen literally everything but there are still some of us relative newbies that haven't. Reposting of stuff every now and again doesn't hurt anyone.

Exactly. They (cupcakes) should quit crying about it.

Sad to hear, like some of you I have exchanged e-mails with Josh in the past. He always responded well. RIP

I'm one who has. I sent my condolences to Kevin. Sad tragedy.

Hate to say this right after, but on the other hand, at least it looks like we're getting the recordings!

Fairly rare I guess, probably goes in about the $20 range.

Very cool poster! I have one that is laminated. One of these days I'll get just a regular one.

Have you heard OMG and Live Era?

Broski is right about this

Axl should have DEFINITELY not overdubbed the songs w/ his vox then imo... sounded a lot better before.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

I bet!

Honestly, i'm starting to think all the people that commented on that have downs.

He should do an interview w/ Jimmy Fallon having the new show n' all.

Wow, that thing's fucking glorious! I hate to say it, but i'd bet money it's long gone by now...

And I thought this was the one place on this forum that I could go and not read bullshit!

The guy has something too sell! We don''t care if you want it or not Rusty! Fuck grow up! What the hell crawled up your ass?

AmyL, hit me up with a pm I know a forum you'd like to post at.

Such as the thing that hung behind Steven at the clubs with the logo on it, or those huge UYI things from the side of the stage or that inflatable AFD monster? Is all of it still in storage?

The backdrops went up for auction awhile back with the washing machine

How much did they go for? Pics?

No no no, those are not the backdrops he's talking about. I mean they might have had the one from the SCOM vid for sale but that may have been another seller. They certainly did not have the AFD monster, any UYI stuff, and most definitely not the backdrop from the club days.

Are there any pics of this stuff?

Guns N Roses had the wine glass backdrop and also the black background with the round original logo in the middle up for auction. The round logo backdrop I was more interested in but someone had already snapped it up so they did sell at least two backdrops both from seller dvamp2u.

I also must correct myself it was a dryer not a washing machine

Wine glass background? I remember the Duff Believe in Me backdrop for sale that's it.

I have 9!

So he drives over the center line when taking a turn? Fuck, we all do. Who doesn't drive like a race course driver on twisty roads like that? Beta shoulda just popped out the passenger side window and started shooting at the car behind with an uzi.

LOL you´ve watched too many movies

Kidding about the Beta thing, but really who doesn't drive like that when no other cars are around... not that he's in a sport car but still...

Yes, a bootleg. A rare one though!

Lucky bastard ^

I think it's a pretty good album over all. I put it over Snakepit in GNR projects.

lol ribfest

Is it cheaper then?

To be honest I couldn't tell you for sure but I do know that the quality of some of the "medical" stuff in California is insane!

Don't even get me started on the medical stuff... wooooohoooooo
