tsunta421 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think after the tour of 2010 Axl probably was thinking that his voice was the best its been in years so maybe between the 2010 tour and Rock In Rio 2011 He spent alot of time in the studio recording vocals to the point he started to sound like Mickey Again?Anyone ever think this?

Maybe not like '10 or '06 but still damn good. A little mickey here and there but I can live with that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Maybe so but not hearing a new song played makes me doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 People praising 2010... after seeing 7 shows this year, and 5 in 2010, i can say Axl sounds the same. There was two shows where he sounded a little weaker and those shows he had played a 3 hour performance the night before. Seriously, wait till this pro shot london show is up online and compare that to rio and your 2010 shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eu4ic Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I loved '10 as much as anyone, but he wasnt great every gig then. Reading comes to mind. The Asian leg starting from '09 and the Canadian leg, i thought he was very spotty. Listen to those Chi Dem songs he performed then - yikes! Think that scared him from playing them again. But, I remember seeing the KOHD at Seoul and thinking "Damn this could be a great year" and yea it was.And yes I'll be sure to get back to you after seeing a Pro shot London gig. I guess his performance on 14 Years doesnt represent his overall performance. Edited June 12, 2012 by Eu4ic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's been really disappointing since the 2010 tour. I wish he'd get that vocal coach back from Tom Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGS Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Band members said they recorded before RIR 2011 so maybe there is a chance... i know Axl can do better in studio, with no running, no pressure in front of so many people and proper audio.

Dean Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 People give Axl alot of shit for the way he sings, but at the end of the day, he hits the notes. The way he sings obviously helps him perform to a standard that he thinks makes the songs sound good - and it does. Many singers have songs toned down a bit so it's easier for them to perform but Axl doesn't, he still hits the notes at 50, albeit a bit weak, but thats only natural with age. He was on fire in Glasgow, he sounded incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Vocal muscles are like any other muscles, the less you use them, the less they're able to do. I think the person who started this thread is suffering from wishful thinking. If anything, recording and singing regularly should have improved his vocals, not made them worse. I'm more inclined to believe that he hadn't sang a note between Dubai and Rio and that's why he sounded weaker nine months later.Cheers,Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I saw Guns in 10 and 11. 11 wins hands down. Remember these are the shows I attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMG Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 After seeing him Twice in 2010 and 3 times in 2012......He DOES NOT sound the same.2012 were the superior shows, with the band being as tight as ever, and the setlist being fleshed out. But when it comes down to the songs that need rasp most (rocket queen...and so on)...it just wasn't there (or veryvery little).Oh and IMO, the London recorded show was not good for his voice, he was hitting many flat notes, especially in estranged!!Birmingham 12 was the most consistent/the best show I've been to.But Birmingham 10 (when he had a sore throat) had the greatest voice I've heard from him.
