I don't think we'll see Slash play on this one. 

Edit: It's a grower.

I think I'm gonna pass on this one, really not interested in nitpicking on it. I do remember hearing Bach's backing vocal in Sorry and felt it was compressed and autotuned. Can't remember a lot of Axl's vocals like this, tho. 

The point is: if it's not noticeble (or at least, "passable") in the mix with every other instrument, what's the big deal? Are we judging this autotune based on the final mix or just the isolated vocals?

Those are 1999 recordings of his voice. For whatever reason, he didnt want to rerecord it all and would rather fix the tune of any fuckup instead. I really don't see a problem with that. We all know what he is (or at least waws) capable of in good conditions.

It's not a problem. In today's industry it would be unprofessional not to tune the vocals. Anthony Kiedis would be in deep shit without autotune (Melodyne, more specifically). 

I do think Axl's vocal degradation is the reason for his reluctance to release music since the mid-1990s. He did a number on himself on the UYI tour.

Autotune is not something you would notice unless is extreme on purpose, like that Cher song or those YouTube videos where people gets speech and turn it into a song.  

You should hear the CD vocal stems. Autotune city. Not Cher, but not for off. In the context of the mix they sound passable but it's all heavily tuned.
