slash_plocman Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 listen to thqat voice from 4:33, I'm speechless, this is not only the best from 2010 tour but the best live voice of Axl ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 He sounded just as good if not better when I saw him in 2011 and 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Nobody here has mentioned Toronto 2010. For me that's overall the most consistent show vocally that is also a superbly recorded with vocals high in the mix and everything else including audience at great levels.

Johnny Drama Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Plain and simple. Weight loss, cardio, regular cover coaching and rehearsing will create the best voice possible. Axl aint no Hetfield. If he wants them golden notes, the ball's in his court. Just compare him to someone like Chris Cornell who clearly still looks after his voice and is only a half step behind his peak.

SoulMonster Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Just compare him to someone like Chris Cornell who clearly still looks after his voice and is only a half step behind his peak.I am a huge Chris Cornell fan and I would have to say that Chris has lost more of his voice than Axl has. Chris has lost some range, or at least lost the ability to reach the highest notes, and he is also more wobbly at times, whereas Axl doesn't seem to have lost range at all, remarkably. What Axl has lost, though, or decided to not use very much, is the raspiness to his voice. In addition, he has lost some of the wildness and most shrieking aspect of his voice that he used to have, especially in 1985-1987. Both Chris and Axl's voices have thickened, especially in the lower registers, and I believe both of them have gained more control in that register as they have aged. Most of this is quite typical for maturing voices. What astounds me, though, Is Axl's ability to still reach those very high notes, something I miss from Chris (especially during Say Hello 2 Heaven).

Axl still hits the higher notes, as good as ever - so no issues for him there.The problem has basically to do with the more nasal voice (almost without rasp) that he uses nowadays much more often in the higher notes. Everywhere else he's just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 sorry folks2006>2010Based on what exactly? Did you actually see the band in 2006 and 2010? I guess it's a matter of opinion, but if the question is over what tour Axl sounded like his old self from the AFD/UYI days, then 2010 is clearly the winner. You can say that you prefer Axl's voice in 2006, and he did have a great voice back then, but most people, as I do, preferred Axl's voice in 2010 because it was the closest he's sounded to his former glorious self back in the halcyon days of '87-'93. Having seen them five times in 2006 and three times in 2010, it's my opinion that Axl sounded much better (and by better, I mean he sounded like the Axl on AFD/UYI than) in 2010. I've given my reasons, what's yours?Cheers,Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 2010 was very consistent and generally better than 2006 which had some great shows and then shitty shows (like Rock in Rio 2006). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I wish he would quit doing shows until he gets his 2010 voice back. 14 Years in London was just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR_GR Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 WTTJ Rotterdam 2012Sounds good and he looks fit, energetic and cool. The audience is having so much fun, they could not care less if there was 3% more or less rasp: I like this cleaner voice and I like the raspy voice. The only time I think he had obvious trouble with his voice was that US concert when he had the flu. If the cleaner voice means he can sing easier and keep on singing until the old age, then I prefer the cleaner voice, I might in any case as the power of the clean voice is quite magnetic.

Demon Wolf Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 2010 was very consistent and generally better than 2006 which had some great shows and then shitty shows (like Rock in Rio 2006).Rock In Rio always seems to be mixed by a monkey with no ears too, so that certainly does not help the performance, even if it was weaker. Compare to Rock Am Ring which had much better sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) The last half of the '11 tour and the '12 tour voice is just as good as the 2006 voice. Not the same, obviously, but just as good overall IMO 2010 is better than '92 and '93 Edited June 12, 2012 by RickRoses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
