Axl has his own Website now
StrangerInThisTown replied to kingcanyon's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
The only explanations is that either the quote is not AI, or..that he has never actually visited his website to check it out and just added the link to his bio -
A random live performance on a tuesday where Slash was probably drunk, compared to a studio take where he knows this is for eternity, is always going to be different of course, and I think it would have still inspired the same performance if they kept that arrangement. We would have gotten the same song, except longer.

I've said it in the favourite Axl notes thread aswell, but just check out the way Axl ended Nightrain in those 1986 gigs. How badass is that? That last vocal run, when the arrangement they had with the song was ending it with the chorus. Fuck I wish they kept that for AFD..it's so great. The best one is still from the Music Machine 86 gig on Youtube, just perfect. But it's good on this one aswell. The entire arrangement of that song, from the intro up to the outro was more powerful in my opinion, every other song from AFD was improved, EXCEPT Nightrain. Losing that killer Axl outro alone for a fade-out (which is always annoying) makes the early arrangement better. They also should have kept the fade-in intro with the train and rain sound effects from the Pasha studios demo (which wasn't on the AFD boxset, for reasons known only to TB).

Maybe true, there is no way to know until we hear something, because even Rock The Rock was plenty of years ago now. Even still, I have to disagree with the other poster, because it would be literally just re-applying the tone of his own voice, to his own voice. He would still have to sing and record it all. That's not a "robot". Using AUTO TUNE is "a robot", where notes are added and adjusted in a robot way, not reminiscent of how the original vocals were recorded and sung into the mic at all, that shit is WAY more "robot" than adding bits rasp back to the vocals that he himself has to record. And live, that point doesn't make a lot of sense to me, because he ALREADY sings ALL the songs that he recorded back then with his classic tone live with his current voice. So it'll just be the same thing as literally all the other songs. -

Ok this might derail the thread but I gotta get into this: Yes he is right about the creativity aspect, but he's forgetting one major thing, that just started existing within this last year: which is the advancement in AI technology which also influences the "studio magic" that is possible. With the advancements of AI technology in just this year alone (it's in it's infancy), Axl can pretty much record and sound like he did on Appetite, aslong as he can still hit the notes (which he can, albeit in his clean tone). He didn't lose his range, he just lost the rasp which is really demanding vocally, and of course you can't keep up that singing style for 30+ years. This is the reason why people like Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler still sound so good, they sang more with their natural tone. But now in a studio setting, he can record with the clean vocals and apply an AI created Axl voice filter on it, which works kind of like a guitar effect pedal (but just on his recorded voice instead) and have him sound like his 1987 self with the rasp completely added onto the vocals by the AI which works by feeding it with soundclips of his isolated studio vocals from AFD/UYI. People are already doing this with other singers, just applying an AI Axl onto the voice and it sometimes already sounds dead on, so when he does it with his own vocals, it'll sound pretty much perfect. So GNR can release as much music as they want, aslong as Axl actually starts working on it. -

Someones gotta be paying for this shit, so it's gotta be used for something. No one pays bills and website designers just to do jack shit with it. There's gotta be an idea behind it when he just doesn't do what everyone else does these days, which is just to use your Instagram. Solo album seems far fetched I agree, and a book is kind of doubtful aswell. So I'm still interested to see what the reason for it to exist is. -

As sad as this sounds that would be on par for the course of half-ass jobs that GNR world continues to take part in. Literally doing 0 research and putting FAKE quotes of the person whose website you were just paid to launch. Incredible -

If you think the quotes are AI generated, how does one of them appear on his official website then? Because it does, but yet no one is aware of that one, even the most hardcore fans. -

I agree, but then the question remains where that quote comes from. It now appears on his website, but if no one even on here recognizes it, and we are all hardcore enough to post on a GNR fan forum, that is strange? So maybe it is drawn from a pool of information that is not available yet, comes directly from an official source, like Axl himself, or a book? -

One of them is on his official website. So how can it be fake? -

But even if it is AI, that quote is now on Axls official website. So it has to be connected somehow, I never heard of it somewhere else, neither does anyone so far? -

Well, just coincidentally, this year outside of GNR we have news of the Children of the Revolution cover coming out soon (which has Elton on it) and the Michael Schenker track with Slash -

"releasing albums under his own name" would only make sense if it's either AI or a solo album release is imminent. -

StrangerInThisTown replied to kingcanyon's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
That entire page seems written by someone commissioned, or approved by Axl. I don't recognize these "famous" quotes either lol. Does @Blackstar? If not then I believe this is an official thing written to sell a book or something. -

You were still right about the missing quotation mark though lol, so you still have a point -

This seems really out of time, it's strange to launch your own website in 2024 when you would have the biggest, and fastest reach possible just using Instagram. Will be interesting to see what this is used for -
Axl Sued For Sexual Assault

The entire topic of collecting used bandaids shouldn't even be given a chance to continue on in a new thread and should be banished to satans deepest level of hell -

Where do we go now?
StrangerInThisTown replied to El Guapo's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Honestly if they have some actual good songs like Oklahoma in the can, and break out some more UYI cuts like Breakdown, Shotgun Blues and The Garden, that would be enough to go on another tour without a new album. I'd go see that. But just going out with Monsters and Atlas seems a bit thin, but they will probably do that if the demand is there ticket wise. -

StrangerInThisTown replied to El Guapo's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
It was only pulled from CD due to time constraint reasons, so I don't see it not coming out, other than for Slash or Duff saying this is shit to Axl, which they won't do when they even said yes to The General lol. -

They also have shitty Atlas Shrugged lol -
Oh Well (Slash feat. Chris Stapleton)
StrangerInThisTown replied to Free Bird's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
This comment from Youtube lol: @Nitromessiah 7 hours ago This is one of the worst version of this classic song I've ever heard. Slash wrote 1-3 great licks, and has made an entire career off of it. He's just average at best, but he looks cool doing it. -
Oh Well (Slash feat. Chris Stapleton)
StrangerInThisTown replied to Free Bird's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Slightly underwhelmed after the first listens. I believe it has nothing to do with the recording, I just prefer Teddys voice on it because I'm used to the Slash's Blues Ball version, his voice just sounds infinitely more badass, it's closer to Rod Jacksons, while Chris delivery comes across more gentle (sort of like Myles vs Axl on GNR songs). -
Your favorite Axl Rose notes? 😀🤔💡

He also reached a great note during "SECURITY FUCKHEAD" in the Better performance from France in 2017
