I'm watching it right now...

How can anyone seriously say he sounds good...

Really...

Because not everybody is still obsessed with blaming Axl for the old band splitting up.

Haha.

What does that even have to do with my message ?

Never gave a fuck about the old band and probably wouldn't listen to GnR if it weren't for Finck, Buckethead, Brain and Bumblefoot so I think you might have to find another convenient excuse as to why people think his current voice is good. :shrugs:

The mix actually started off bad and improved a ton - by about halfway through, it was actually at the stage where you could hear all the guitar parts, you could hear the bass (never comes through well in Youtube vids and it didn't at the Vegas stream), backing vocals were just right (audible but not overly loud like Vegas stream), and even keyboard and percussion parts from Dizzy and Pitman (which you probably won't even hear even live). There were a few parts where the vocals got disproportionately loud again, but from It's So Easy onward the mix was improving and it ended up being very good.

Agreed.

Seriously, that was obviously not his best performance ever. But, it was far far away from the worst. It was better than he sounded at RIR 2011, Tokyo 2009 or even Tokyo 1992, IMO.

I just watched some of the show and it was kind of brutal.

Axl sounded totally gassed mid way through the second song. He was sucking wind bad on Jungle.

It's not a weight issue, but his cardio fucking blows if he is huffing and puffing like that trying to get through a song.

I was front and center for the show! Highlight was when I started yelling used to love her and then they started playing it! I was jamming out the whole time all the way up too Madagascar. I passed out and was rushed to a medical room in the backstage area. I couldn't breath and lost my heart beat. I was loaded into the ambulance and rushed to er. I survived and released a few hours later. Most exciting time and yet scariest moment of my live! Today was starting to head home but decided to stop by the hotel band was stayin at. Met Beta, Dizzy, Tommy, Del, Dj, Ron, Frank, and Richard! Would have met Axl but I would have had to wait till 8pm and I was still feeling the effects and started to head home. Tommy was real nice too me this time :)

I have seen at least 50 shows at HOB Chicago----This was the worst sounding and mixed show I ever saw there for the most part. I could barely hear Axl at all until the last 45 minutes or so. The solos were great but at times too quiet. I really think the guys behind the board or somebody screwed this up. Hard to hit notes when you can't hear yourself maybe---maybe 3 guitars in this little venue was too much. The show did have many killer moments but I thought the Allstate show here last November was far better. KILLER SHOW !! These guys are an arena band . Still I'm glad I was there and I don't blame GNR for the crappy sound and mix on various songs. I also just watched some of the live feed and it is the opposite of how the venue sounded---His vocals are too high in that mix----go figure --- thanks for coming to Chicago GNR-----most fans leaving were really happy with the show

Must have read too fast. Didn't realize he met that at the hotel. :)
