There Was A Time Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think Axl sounds phenomenal when he wants too. It seems during some songs he just mails it in and doesnt put full effort. How can you sound so atrocious on rq ycbm til and then pull out epic performances of Civil War Nightrain Maddy Patience Jungle etc. I just dont get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't require the aggression that Nightrain, Jungle, etc. need, but they're up in the stratosphere for the vocals the entire time.And for the record, I think last night is one of the worst versions of Jungle I've heard from this tour.

Flayer Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Paradise City seemed better than normal tonight. Civil War was far and away the best song of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Axl's high parts fall somewhere in my own falsetto range, but some of the notes in the pre-chorus are well outside what I can sing.Regarding the clean voice, I'll say what I've said before. I don't doubt that Axl can use more rasp, but he isn't as precautionary step. Regardless of how good it sounds, a raspy voice is detrimental to the vocal cords. Singers like Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson, Joey Belladonna, and Rob Halford have very clean voices; this is why they're still able to maintain their voices so well at their respective ages. My opinion is that Axl is using his clean voice intentionally, so that his voice stays intact longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he sang with the clean voice the whole show then there might be a stronger argument that he's lost his voice. There's no way his voice would change that much in a year. I've said elsewhere that I think Axl really hurt his voice in 2010 and realized he had to make a change and couldn't keep singing as raspy as he did. He reserves it for some songs and not others. He usually finds a good balance, though admittedly sometimes it falls flat in terms of power. I don't think it sounds as "Mickey Mouse" as some people like to think, just different.
