ABBA voyage is one of the best things I've seen and I'm no way a huge fan. 

If this is as good, this will be great.

Aerosmith has been using an off stage singer to hit the high notes for Steven for years now. I don't know why Melissa hasn't been used much more significantly on vocals in a similar manner the past 7 years.

He isn't offstage. It's the keyboard player in the background. He's pretty visible (or was when I saw them in 2014) 

I'm pretty sure Axl thanked the crew for the last few years at the end of the 2022 so I wouldn't read too much into that.

Plus we're coming onto 40 years since Appetite, I full expect a world tour for that 2025/2026 perhaps a handful of shows near the end of 2024

Anyone else picking up a slight Pink Floyd  influence? 

On Guns insta stories, there's a guy standing by Melissa's keys for perhaps but not for nightrain and SOD. Perhaps 😅 her roadie filled in for certain songs?

Guns N Roses + Metallica 

The Redemption World Tour

One can dream right 😆

Whole of Metallica were watching on Duffs side. Susan just posted on IG.

I wonder if James and Axl caught up? 👀

Are there one or two stages at this festival? because I can imagine Maiden having a big stage which will take time to change over to Guns stage 🤷

They need to hire a singer with Axls timbre if that was the route they were going. Aerosmith/Whitesnake being the best 2 examples of how to hide the deficiencies in an aging lead singers voice. 

Melissa is doing a good job, but to me her voice couldn't be further from Axls, very little nasal tonality, zero aggression etc.

I have noticed in a few clips that Dizzys vocals are much higher in the mix than usual this tour

14 days between the legs. Most of the shows are also 3 days apart which seems like it would be a good amount of rest in between. 

Maybe they'll go the Metallica route next, 2 gigs 2-3 days apart followed by 1-2 weeks rest 

Axl started the tour pretty good, had a strong middle (Hyde Park) and now sounds like vocal fatigue is setting in. Pretty natural for a 61 yo I would say.

I would imagine tours will become shorter and shorter now. Didn't they only have a week break between Europe and the US leg?

probably one more release left from this band for good. I dont see any ground up recordings ever coming unfortunately 

Didn't Slash say they would release most of the leftovers and then look at new material? 

Now usually I'd be like "never gonna happen" but everything Slash has said has so far come to fruition so who knows

Axl should feel happy about the progress too. It's really a dramatic difference, and for the better.

 

To lose that amount of weight no matter who you are into your 60s is seriously impressive. Especially when Axl looked his heaviest on the 2019 tour. 

Kudos Axl 💪

For those talking about Axls voice if laying down new vocals, studio is a completely different ball game than live. Rock the rock has 2010 level rasp but was recorded in 2017 if I remember correctly 

Nuno has come across as a right prat there 😆

Rumour has it Perhaps or The General will be released next week before the US tour 

New Song - Happy Birthday Slash in D Tune

 please sing all 4 verses with your lower voice. 

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

Who would have thought 2011-2012 would get romanticized . I loved the shows I saw them, but the vocals commentary on here back then was not kind. To be fair, it was a huge departure from 2010

I would love to know what went on between the last show in 2010 and RIR 2011

Axl did complain quite a few times about having a sore throat on the 2010 tour

You and 1 or 2 other delusionals. Not WE

I'm well aware this would never happen, keep your knicks on 😆

What we really want is....

Band plays this I love 

Axl: "I searched the universe, found myself within her eyes...... Ladies and gentlemen on guitar Mr Robin Finck! 

Look at Beta's insta story... looks like two dolphins are enjoying the show 😆😆😆

Are BBC 2 showing the whole set with 30 minute delay or showing starting from 4 - 5th song in?
