wasted Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 that's from the recent Trunk interview, about YCBM being hard to sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 He doesn't sound bad, much better than the whole 2011 tour. That said, I think he CAN'T sing "You Could Be Mine" anymore. That's the one he said he has the hardest time with live nowadays. I think it was on the Eddie Trunk interview where he said it. I wouldn't necessarily drop it, but it would perhaps be wise for the guys to play it in D tuning instead of the usual Eb tuning to make it a bit easier on his voice. Lots of older bands tune down so I don't see anything wrong with it if it'll help the show overall. The amazing thing is he can still hit some impressive highs in many other songs so it's funny he struggle so much with You Could Be Mine. I get the middle section where he's rambling out those words, but the opening verses don't have a whole lot going on vocally.Besides that, tuning a bit lower would make the song sound even heavier, which I'm completely in favor of.

Axl's highs and lows are fantastic. It's everything in between that needs work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaida Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Why they perform the slow dreary Sorry remains a mystery. If your going to do a 2hr show, atleast play the best songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunblues1978 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 All in all, sounds like a good start to the tourLooking forward to seeing if they open up the setlist tomorrow night for round 2 in Russia. Particularly, would love to see Oh My God and Going Down make an appearance B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Meh...so much for "something you haven't had before".Perhaps that was directed at the Russian audience who were in fact treated to songs they haven't heard before (in concert)?On a side-note: It is really fascinating to follow the GN'R fans, you are such a lovingly emotional lot. Being on a forum is like being tossed into a sea of relentless rolling waves of emotions. One day you are all giddy and almost euphoric when something great is happening, like vague hints of new music on the horizon, whereas the next day you are completely miserable when something disappointing takes place. You don't just wear your heart on your sleeves, you scream out your feelings from the top of your lungs. It's hard to be a realistic optimist here because I get sucked down under in all the unrealistic optimism from fans with exaggerated expectations, and when I've finally come back to surface and I hope for some calm weather, I enter a maelstrom of negativity when all these inflated expectations burst and the whole forum is drowned in a current of negativity and bitterness. It's impossible not to feel affectionate towards you all.Here's the deal: Yes, there will probably be new music released in a few years, but no, you can't expect to hear new music this year. Enjoy the tour and the shows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the tour and the shows! Perhaps. But one thing that defenders were adamant about the US tour and lack of new songs was that that was the first time they hit that market since Chidem came out, so it was excusable that no new material was presented. This is different. It is now the second time they are touring Europe post-Chidem and still the same old setlist. I'm flexible, it's only the first show and was to a limited amount of people, that's fine and Axl sounds good. However if things do not change in the next month or two, expect alot more whining around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketQueen1985 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) He sounds great!And to everyone who says that the audience always grows quiet when they play CD material, well this is proof that you're wrong. You can hear them singing along in this video Edited May 12, 2012 by RocketQueen1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaida Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) This is one of the few songs I like on Chinese Democracy. I prefer Robin Finck's guitar work. The Robin guitar solo is amazing.Dj Ash doesn't even attempt to sound like Robin, and appears to have come up with his own solo.
