    Haha... Casual as in, not on the forums... I talked to here while she was with them then I started texting her stuff to ask but it all derailed when they had to leave for sound check.  She knows the members and all but doesn't know all the ins and outs like we do.  Knows the songs, videos etc, but not the drama...

    Lucky, lucky girl :P

    I never said the show sucked. I think it is the best show since 1993 Argentina. I think fake GNR was a complete joke even when Axl had strong vocals in 2010. So Axl doesn't have to be 100% vocally for the show to kick ass. The entire band was tight(except for Frank) and they put on an entertaining show. For the first time in 23 years, we got a GNR concert. I can't wait for the San Diego show. I am more excited about  it after watching this Detroit concert.

     

    My problem with Axl is that we now have something else to compare his vocals. Had Axl never joined ACDC, I would have been praising him for his vocals with GN on Thursday. I would have assumed that he has lost the power in his voice, but still put on a great effort. Many of us got really excited listening to the ACDC shows because we figured his vocal coach and motivation had improved his voice and he was going transfer that to the GNR tour. We assumed he was going to be vocally stronger than he was at Coachella. Obviously that didn't happen and people are making excuses for it now. 

    this notion that Axl is not using rasp because the recordings on the album didn't have any is ridiculous. If that was the case he wouldn't use rasp on any of the GNR songs he sang on Thursday. The fact of the matter is he did use rasp on a few and sounded good. That to me tells me that he is intentionally turning it off on some songs. Why would Axl prefer to sing in his clean voice if he was trying to sound good? He no longer has a powerful clean voice, he lost that many years ago. His clean voice is so weak it is cringeworthy. I think he knows this, but just doesn't care.Axl is a mystery to me. What was his motivation to sing powerfully in 2010? Why did he turn it on? Why now that he is reunited with Duff and Slash is it not motivation/incentive to return to that voice? I have no idea. 

    The Axl of ACDC is the Axl of GNR of 2010. He can choose to go to that voice whenever he wants. This to me angers me a bit. Axl could sing paradise city strongly if he wanted to. 

    This is how I feel about the situation, and I am sure many will disagree.

     

    p.s Somebody tell Axl to stop singing during Slash guitar parts at the beginning of PC. It sounds silly and it messes everything up for the whistle part.

     

     

    My thoughts exactly!

  4. I'm just seeing the videos now, and I agree it was a good performance. Band sounds great, tempos are much better, the guitar tones are amazing, they're as tight as ever.

    Axl delivered a good performance, but not Axl/DC level. And don't come with 'Guns is harder to sing than AC/DC'. It's not that. I can't understand why we can't get a better RQ, or at least a fuckin raspy outro of Estranged, when he sings BIB and Thunderstruck the way he does. I expected more from him vocally.

    Nevertheless I really think the show was good, and I really loved the chemistry that was going on stage :wub:

    HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

    Have fun, you guys!! 

    I have to admit, all of us Europeans are very envious right now! :lol:

    I so stoked even if I am only able to follow the show from this thread! 

    Don't forget to share everything with us later! 

    We should all reunite for a pre-party too. Choose an European city, use Ryanair, and there we go. Amsterdam comes to my mind :P 
    Or maybe Lisbon, Lisbon would be great haha
