James Bond Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It's interesting to watch because at that point he clearly didn't give care about his performance so you'd think that aside from just standing there he wouldn't put any effort into the vocals yet he sings great. Vocally speaking, probably one of his best, obviously due to no running around. Not a fine moment for Axl performance wise, but vocally outstanding.

Black Sabbath Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) The thing is, apparently they come on a little before 10:30?Those fucking Irish assholes were blessed!Oh well, sucks for them, performance wise, but as you said, vocally wise he was great.EDIT: But yeah, I was surprised he put so much into the singing. You would think he would have just done the rest of the show (the whole show really ) in spoken-word form Edited December 9, 2011 by Black Sabbath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Indeed, I mean, wasn't there a Jungle, I'm thinking maybe from 2007, where he started out just talking the words because people were throwing shit and he stopped the song and was like "Now, do you want me to sing the whole show like that?" and they started over? You'd think he'd do the same thing here but nope, he still goes for all the high notes so in retrospect, it's kind of funny. I do feel bad for the crowd though, especially those who weren't causing shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, came back and did the whole rest of the show.And Dazey, I know what you're saying, but a lot of the arena was booing and being a bunch of fucks throwing shit.I don't think he embarrassed himself. I mean, the YouTube videos bitch about him not saying "Sorry" or addressing the time delay in any way at all. Who gives a shit? Do the Dubliners think they should get some special treatment and that they're the only show Axl has ever showed up "late" to? Fuck off.

I think that the way he acted was plain disrespect to the fans. You also forgot to mention that the couple thousand people who left when it appeared the show was over and weren't allowed back in the venue missed the show and didn't get a penny refunded either.

Matt13 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Amen! I'd take these vocals ANYDAY over an enthusiastic Axl running all over the stage. He hasn't nailed PC like this often from 1993 onward. Note to Axl, be pissed off more often!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock4eva Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 That had to be heartbreaking for the guitarists and the fans who weren't being jagoffs.Very true, how upset would you be?? So the story is the audience is upset he is "late" onstage = throwing thingsAudience throwing things upsets him so gives a lousy performance vision wise = audience gets upset againAudience causes more disruptions = he gets madSeems the only band I know that has caused so much contraversy with late starts, walking off etc. Attracting men who continue to harrass them while onstage - or maybe you know of others that do the same?

Dazey Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 To be honest a 10:30 start is actually pretty good for GnR so it's a shame some people had to act like assholes and that vocal performance on PC was as good as any I've ever heard so can't bash Axl too much. I just think the whole standing at the mic and sulking was tantamount to standing there giving the crowd the finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl owns dexter Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Couple things come to mind...Axl sounds better at this concert than he does on most of the Chinese vocal tracks.I saw the Strokes in concert and I swear their frontman moves around just as much as Axl did at this concert, lol.

rainman_1985 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Wait a minute, Axl wanted to leave but the promoter locked the doors so he couldn't and... Axl went back on stage?

Chris1989 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The vocals didn't sound that good when you were there, and generally the show made you feel pretty empty inside. There was no energy or enthusiasm, and although people say he finished the show, there was no interaction and things like Don't Cry, solo's etc were cut completely or only given 10% of their normal time.Compare this show the one I went to a month later and this was utter bollocks.
