grigori Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I didn't think I liked Myles' voice back when I heard Back from Cali' but now that I think about it, I just didn't like the song. I used to not like Stings voice with the stale timbre but over time, I get kind of used that bitter, dry sound. I used to hate Scott's singing as well but I've come to like it now too. I thought Myles was alright but now I'm feeling that voice since two years have gone by listening to him sing with Slash. Anyone else feel the same way? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JfMB6YBbKoI guess it's a matter of taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkAboutYou Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Sometimes Myles is alright live I've seen a couple of really good shows. But I'm not a huge fan of Myles overall.It also might be because I compare Myles to Scott Weiland and Axl which might be setting the bar to high.

Naupis Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 His voice is/was outstanding. He is just not a "frontman" in the way Scott/Axl are from a performance standpoint. It doesn't come naturally to him, and he still considers himself a guitar player first who happens to sing. Listen to him in the outro of Far and Away, or the Mayfield 4 song SummerGirl, and the guy can flat out sing his ass off and has incredible range. He is just not a showman, and I think people let that cloud their judgement about just how good a singer he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) I don't mind his voice. It's just that for me, his voice is nothing special. Not a very good lyricist either.I prefer him in Alter Bridge to be honest. Songs like Blackbird are more suited to him imo.All in all, I don't detect any special chemisty between him and Slash.

FuddMckagan Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Didn't like him when I first heard him on the first album, but he grew on me. When I saw him live with Slash he blew me away, and ever since then I've been a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 No.His voice is nasally to the point of being intolerable. Not saying that I could do any better, but I think that he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill Devil Hill Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I love Myles, always have before I got into GN'R even, but his voice on this album is awful. Such a shame. He's a fantastic vocalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Quite the opposite actually, I used to like his voice, but now it kinda annoys me. :/ Edited May 26, 2012 by jekylhyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) I think it's pretty funny that I've often seen debates exactly like this about Axl's voice on a lot of non-gnr-forums. But yeah, I had to get used to it as well. But it didn't take long. I still didn't like him much on Ain't Been There Lately though. One of my favorite Snakepit songs. My all-time biggest "had to get used to the voice" experience was Led Zeppelin. Took me a few years. Edited May 26, 2012 by username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Myles has definitely grown on me. I used to HATE his voice so much... Now I only hate it in a few songs like Mean Bone, The VR covers, Mr.Brownstone, Rocket Queen and Ghost. He sounded awesome in Apocalyptic Love (except in a few songs).

dario27 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 not many of the singers Slash has worked before would be able to pull this song live to save their lives.probably none nowadays.Myles sings it with easehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd4FxQginkgi've admired his voice since Starlight.he's just one of those singers, you either hate him or love him, some people find Axl voice irritating, same with Myles.i'm glad Slash found a consistent singer to play their asses of every night with no setbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 He won me over when was released and his singing on the rest of One Day Remains solidified that belief.. This was ages before he even worked with Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds 100000000000000000000000000000 times better in that song than the whole AL record, I swear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
