  1. Axl sounds good from the soundcheck, that rasp was firece for the end of November Rain its gotta be said. The first part of the song reminded me of the last Vegas gig, good but Axl isn't sure whether to go for the lower chest voice or go higher with it. I suspect if his voice evolves like it did in 10 he'll go more raspy as time goes by with it.

  2. Gotta be one of the best sounding opening gigs from Axl since possibly Hammerstien 06, in fact thus far this show reminds me of that show in terms of great vocals but tiring towards the end.

    So surreal to see Slash doing the SCOM solo with Axl there as well...I wonder what the odds of that would have been like  18 months ago when we first got rumours regarding the likes of Bumblefoot, Stinson, etc.

  3. Hmmm, that Milan date is the EXACT same date as their 2010 concert in...Milan....

    Not saying its not possible, but not convinced.

    I think any Europe tour comes in 2017. It makes sense to combine it with the festival run in the early summer months, plus maybe some individual shows in places like Wembley, Stade de France, etc.

    Of course if there are shows in Europe in 2016, I'll be there!!!

  4. I just don;t think he can do it anymore, I think he has more or less butchered his mid range and now has to choose to either push his chest voice up, or do his higher pitched voice. You can him struggling with it as far back as 2010, especially later in the year (Its very noticeable on November rain at Bucharest, sounds AMAZING but you can hear struggling.

    What he can do is probably push himself harder, I think instead of pushing his voice to its limits he has instead often just taken the safe option. The Axl of the past (even to an extent upto 2010) would have forced it, but these days that rarely happens. He did push it hard at times at Vegas (the Nightrain on the 7th June is a decent example of that, where he normally goes for 'mickey' after the first verse, at this concert he forced his stronger raspy chest voice and it made it sound so much better)

    Even though I think he has really messed up his mid-range, that doesn't mean he still can't give great performances, he pretty much completely was void of it in 1993 and he nailed most of those shows (all either high pitched rasp or lower chest voice though).

     

  5. The other thing to remember is that we've had probably a combined 3-4 minutes of footage leak from the show on Friday, so whilst they have had their 1st show in 23 years, pretty much everything will be fresh for you guys going to Vegas. I'm not going as I'm in the UK (I'm hoping there may be a cheeky little Wembley date at some point in the next year) but I will be living through all of you guys going. If there is a stream that sets up, I don't think I will be able to resist, especially if they go on a little later.
