Randy Lahey Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Is it possible for Axl to get his 2010 voice back again? I know he had the whole bronchitis thing last year, but I'm shocked that he's still not back to his 2010 level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Would you object to the use of performance enhancing drugs, specifically the injection of HGH into his vocal chords? Edited June 2, 2012 by Popcorn's Snare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Would you object to the use of performance enhancing drugs, specifically injecting HGH into his vocal chords?Of course not. Drugs are a part of rock and roll.Whatever it takes. Apparently they are working on something to restore vocal chords. I read about it in Rolling Stone, I believe. Axl should do that before CD II. It's time to kill Mickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 ive seen him in 10, 11, and 12all three were fantastic vocal performances with 11 and 12 maybe even being better than 10...im not trolling it just really seems that way, he was so good those nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 You gotta be kidding. His 2011 voice was nowhere near his 2010 voice. I'm just glad I managed to see him twice in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad I managed to see him twice in 2010.its just from the shows ive seen, dude. he was killer at all 3. obviously RIR IV sucked and a few gigs after were rocky, and his voice is higher nowadays so i guess overall the 2010 voice was better. but he does have his stand outs in 11-12 tooat any rate im glad i saw him all three years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I loved the gigs I went to at the O2 this year, but he was undoubtedly much better at the O2 gigs in 2010. I listen to the bootleg of the Duff gig constantly, his voice is just unbelievable on that. Rasp on YCBM! It was funny seeing him wear a Mickey Mouse t-shirt during YCBM last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 YES, look how he sings the final part of November Rain or Jungle., he still got it. He's just changed a bit his voice. Sing with rasp is very difficult and exhausting and at 50, it must be very hard to handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Wolf Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 He can still do it but it is very demanding on the vocal chords. I think he is reserving his voice a bit more now.That said, he sounds better in '12 than he did in '11 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeetarMikey Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Singing with his trademark rasp I imagine is similar to all the new breed of metal screamers; it's not shouting because that would destroy the vocal chords in a few minutes. I had a friend in a metal band saying the screaming was a technique that if you did right, doesn't injure the vocal chords or cause pain, so with Axl I guess it's whether he works on his technique or not. So to sort of answer your question - it depends on how much work he puts in, but obviously fatigue does come into it after a while as with many singers!

metallica2088 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 It is possible, he should work on his breath support and maybe take some lessons with a CVT vocal teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eu4ic Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 He sounds better than he did last year, for sure. And btw, lots of '10 gigs werent that great. Many were spectacular, but not all of them. I think a big part of it is psychological. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudolf1978 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Are you insane? you are a cupcake! Axl is singing better than ever! look how clean is his voice ( IRONIC MODE ON).Axl is singing horrible since 2011 and is getting closer to his TOP FORM in 2001-2002. For me,the set list is ok,the new guns are ok,but Axl himself is really bad,is horrible to see the videos and hear that voice.I really hope he gets back to his 2010.For the 2010 voice lovers and for the people that love the old songs singed like were used to be singed here is the show Bucharest 2010,the best show of GNR since 1992http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=841F8620A0EB4627 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trqster Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 2010 power voice & rasp is probably never gonna return...but I'd only ask that he could sing like this (February 2012) a bit more often.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkXQ-AW6u0M&feature=youtube_gdata_player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the general public really cared about the shitty mixing of Metallica's Death Magnetic? You do know you are on a forum yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A forum for any other band would have just as many asinine discussions because forums are places to go to discuss the finer points that the general population would have no interest in discussing with you.It's fine if you just want to come here to laugh at people that are interested in conversing about these things though, we all need a way to spend our time.
