Guns n' Swedes Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 It just occurred to me that Rock in Rio 91 had even more mistakes and out of breath moments than RIR 2011. During this concert he even admitted that he don't even know if he remembered the verse for Nightrain, he made mistakes on the jungle lyrics, on civil war, and others. My point is that it has always been the same with Axl, both young and old Axl. Hate him or love him for it, but I choose to love him for it.

Chinaski Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I don't think Axl sounded good in paris 1992Really? I'd say that's one of the more consistent GNR UYI shows.I think it's Argentina of that year where he sounds fantastic though. The show where he has to stop it a couple of times because people are throwing shit (Nightrain and YCBM from what I recall) and he comes back in after the breaks and fucking nails it.OP is right about RIR 91 though. He is not exactly spot on on the Tokyo DVDs either. The first half of SCOM is a bit of a mess. Pulls it back after the solo though.

Janabis Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 In '91 he played lots of new stuff whereas in '11 it was mostly stuff that he's been practicing for 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome you were influenced at such a young age and remember it too. I can't wait to introduce GNR to my son when he gets a lil older (he's 1).

The Glow Inc. Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Only judging by Youtube videos obviously but 91 seemed kinda meh as far as the performances go ( I mean, strictly from a point of view of the playing and the singing itself, not the unveiling of songs, the attitude etc... ) however some of the 93 concerts...wow...

Nosaj Thing Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Drunk Axl is always best. Disastrous? No way, best concert ever. Best Jungle intro ever, best transition between DDTJ and WTTJ ever. Bad Apples performed live - best rare song performed ever. Plus, Axl ended up naked. Should I continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carburetta Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I always saw this show as a low point for the old band, I mean Axl forgetting the words on more than one occasion? I don't like to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard2k Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Axl live has never lived up to his studio work. GNR are great live, but he just cannot come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haters Gonna Hate Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Axl live has never lived up to his studio work. Didn't he fuck up his voice in 88 I mean in 86-87 he was awesome. Not that he wasn't 88-93 just a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake-a-mania Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 maybe not disastrous, but i think 2011 was better!i mean just compare the breakdown in YCBM in1991 he missed every other word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stro Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 1991 in general was rough. The warm up shows before UYI actually came out were really strong, but the tour proper until a few months into 1992 were typically full of crazy, raw energy, but sounded rough as fuck. Spring of 1992-1993 was mostly fantastic, though. 1993 might be the best year of the UYI years. 1987-1990 were Axl's true vocal peak. The You're Crazy on the Live Era album is probably the best live vocal performance he ever did. That shit's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
