They have to stop letting Caram mix/produce.

Monsters gave me chills. The General didn't do much for me on first listen but after a few plays I like it a lot, but Monsters is something else. Played together though, it's a journey.

So to clarify without going through a few dozen pages, the vinyl got delayed last minute?

But you really hit the peak when they say you died and were replaced by a clone e.g. Paul McCartney,

A legendary post.

i think Axl's got the hang of singing perhaps now

That was fucking great, Axl really nailed the chorus.

Seriously, he sounds amazing when he sings in the low voice. He allows himself a lot more flexibility and is able to change up the melody too and makes it way more interesting to hear. It’s like discovering an  unheard vocal take on these old songs.

in Estranged, my fav bits:

The way he sings “too many times to make it home. I’m out here all alone” is blowing my mind lol

the sustained depth of the octave at 6:54

he brought a great energy to the final verse too. “this TIME!”

He could tour for many more years (and sound WAY BETTER) if he just stuck to this strategy and rarely use any rasp. Completely kill Mickey.

The change in melody there was absolutely beautiful.

Wow. Axl's in phenomenal shape.

It could be Axl in the background on "Lighthouse" - have yet to hear it on headphones.

Or is it confirmed as other singer(s)?

I put it through an AI track separator and I was 99% sure it was Axl, except the very last high note sounds way above Axl's range. I'm not sure. The vibrato and tone of the harmonies are very Axl.

Major overreaction by Nuno. Fortus didn't attack him, he just respectfully disagreed with what he said, and in turn Nuno writes paragraphs putting down Fortus and trying to backtrack on what he did say. Not a great look Nuno.

It's like half way through the 1st verse he went  "nope" maybe the low voice hurts more than we think 🤷

It definitely seems to be a reach for him to hit the higher notes in his chest voice, and unfortunately his mixed voice seems all but gone, so it's one of the other..

 please sing all 4 verses with your lower voice. 

Well the first verse was good...

From the other perspective … appreciate everyone’s different… but my experience with IEMs has always been that they’re a real drag. They take me out of the moment, and you play less as a band and more as individuals. 
 

monitors all the way. One of the bands I play with uses a lot of backing track for synth and BVs and even then only our drummer has in-ears, so we are playing to him. 
 

can appreciate everyone’s different, but that’s my experience. I don’t think they’re conducive to any vibe.

Each to their own. I feel that way when we started using them, but getting the mix right changed everything.

We use IEM in my band. Once you get used to it and get the mix right it's a blast. You can hear everything clearly, like a live release in your ears, but most importantly you can fine tune. For example, I have my backing vocals up high so I can hear myself and my guitar more or less level with the other guitarist. It's a godsend.

Yeah, I was standing there, someone in the audience screamed ''stop eating tacos and take some singing lessons, you fucker''. Good response from Axl, the old Axl would have stormed off or something.

Seriously? Wtf. What song was this during?

He told them to cover their ears because it's gonna be loud (the horn thingy)

And then sang a little Johnny Cash 😂

Surely someone's not just nicked that from @Caedo and tried to pass it off as their own video...

That's what my people call a "dick move".

Looks like a good show, it's great to see Axl with so much energy and passion again. Hopefully Perhaps at the next show 🤞

Are twitter links allowed? Here's what it sounded like without the TV issues

 

 

Hopefully the BBC will fix the levels before they put out clips/highlights

Just went back to watch that moment in RQ, "I want to see you hands!", that was like Axl's Freddie Mercury at Live Aid moment.. beautiful.

Best pro shot since the 90s?

Big props to Axl, he gave it all he had and did us proud. Best PR the band has had since 2016.

Well they aren't finishing anytime soon.. let's fucking go!!!

I wish he’d sing HS like he did on the studio version

Think that's been out of his grasp since 2006, but it sounds strong tonight

Just Twitter folk attempting to be funny - and failing. Some honourable mentions….

Axel never takes that hat off

Is Izzy back in the band?

The positivity vastly outnumbers the negativity.. which makes a refreshing change
