Some guy says Kurt Cobain. And the blonde lady, when shown the picture of young Axl, asks "is this a guy?".

Showing a tremendously unflattering picture, that got him in a weird angle to non rock fans. Pretty stupid.

This is Brasilia. Brasilia show was not good. Curitiba was.

It sucks when we react so naturally at having to hand pick a good performance out of the tour

I wonder if the good performance in Curitiba was enough to mildly blow his his voice. Maybe it is true after all that stronger performances and rasp destroy his voice.

A solid performance like Curitiba results in a few bad shows. Epic rasp like 2010 results in years, or even permanent damage.

I guess the Duff shows will clarify things a bit.

Edit: there is no rasp to be found in 2014. The rasp is a lie.

I found many videos of this show. It was not good. Reports about him sounding better or similar to Curitiba were wrong.

I think I hear some rasp at the 2:51 mark.

Seems like this show was weaker than last, in terms of Axl's voice. I wonder why he keeps making songs that are so demanding to sing if he's not up to it

Looks like he is holding back, tbh.

The Bee Gees.

He sounds angry, but not that much. I sounds more like a heated argument between two friends than a proper fight.

Aside from Ashba pushing her and Axl cleaning his mic afterwards it was pretty cool.

The he mickey'd the shit out of the couple to celebrate

Compilation of some reports from media, Brazilian foruns and a friend who was at the show:

- Axl sounded slightly better than on Curitiba. It`s a consensus that he has improved with each gig, after a weak start at Rio.

- A dude was proposing to his gf, and the couple got invited to go on stage by Axl. They did, and the dude requested Nightrain. Axl gave the dude his mic.

- A miscellaneous cover band opened for them, getting a bit of criticism.

- Both media and fans seemed do have noticed the difference in vocals in the last two shows. Some of the fans, specially Rio ones, are angry now. One of them on a forum is even taling about a lawsuit for his money back. It is cuntish to use shows in the 2 biggest cities in Brazil to warm up your voice, considering the exorbitant prices involved.

- Some Curitiba guys claim to be responsible for the inclusion of Nice Boys in the setlist. It was kept for this show.

- In summary, it was a good gig. Apparently there was rasp too, not sure in which moments as videos are scarce right now.

He doesn't seem to be thrilled about the next 67 days.

That`s all I read into it too.

The exact number of days for the tour to be over.

The venue looks crappy.

That was good and a bit raspy. I`ll wait for a more vocally demanding piece of some song.

Any info on how he sounds tonight?

Hideous.

For some odd reason I like this style:

And this one:

It suited him great for an almost 50 year old.

The red shirt is good. I'd wear that.

I don't get the jackets, really. He can wear whatever he wants, as far as I'm concerned, but it just doesn't make any sense. They seem stiff as a fuck, make him look fatter. Also, he is Brazil, ffs. If he were in Finland it would make any sense, not here. It probably makes him more tired and just dripping sweat after the show.

About 20 minutes late so far

April 6th, Buenos Aires.

Tonight it's Florianopolis, home of the some of the most fantastic women in the world. Let's hope they motivate Axl to keep getting better. If improvement stays at this rate we might get some epic moments when Duff comes on stage.

He sounds very Mickey Mouse-ish at around the 7:00 mark. No rasp at all. He also just stands there holding the mic, clearly does not give a shit anymore.

Not to mention the receding hairline.

Indeed. I'm not even saying it is decent, or passable. I actually found it amazing, a very high level display of extremely difficult singing. Regarding the infamous "rasp", he does not hold it trough the whole thing, but throws it in at some very high pitched moments. With this and Duff, we might be in for some nice moments of GNR ownage in the near future.

Listen to this. Rasp or no rasp, or moderate amounts of rasp, it is in no way, shape or form a bad performance. He nails the song, his voice does not sound like Mickey at all, it echoes through the stadium.

I saw earlier in the thread that Axl had dropped This I Love from the setlist. He didn't, it got played. And, well, watch for yourselves.

Kiedis is ripped. Funnily, I've been to many an awful live performance by him, including the infamous RIR 2001 where Axl was slammed.

Kiedis sounds much better on studio than he does live. He often struggles to sing the more melodic RHCP songs. Also, Axl of today sodomizes him in terms of both vocal range and power. He is a talented individual for a myriad of reasons, but he is not and will never be half the singer Axl Rose is.
