YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Am I the only one that still is kinda disappointed with Axl's vocal performances this tour?I was always the first to say that I knew that Axl would get better after 5-10 shows but I haven't really seen any improvement since the UCAP tour.It's a lot better than the Rio show but it's still nothing compared to 2006/07 and 2010.I know we had this discussion a million times but that was always somewhere at the start of a tour. The only thing I agree on is that he sounded better when I saw them live this year than he does on Youtube videos, but he sounded way better when I saw them in 2006 and 2010.

Damn_Smooth Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We have discussed this to death, but I think he's intentionally holding back. He has had some great performances of a lot of songs on this tour, but it isn't consistent like it was in those previous tours. I'm secretly hoping that he's holding back because he intends to get in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketQueen1985 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Anyone with an opinion that I do care about?Dont know if you care about mine, but were you not at the Rotterdam show? His voice was amazing that night. At the Paris and Germany shows he had good and bad moments, but in Rotterdam I thought he was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmt Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Why would a Singer that has stated numerous times that he wont go on until he feels ready and can give 100%, be Intentionally holding back, Isn't that a contradiction, or Is It an excuse. IMO he hasn't sounded right since Rock In Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmt Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm not saying your not going to get some good performances, I'm saying over all he hasn't sounded right since 2010. Listen to any of the concerts that were streamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We have discussed this to death, but I think he's intentionally holding back. He has had some great performances of a lot of songs on this tour, but it isn't consistent like it was in those previous tours. I'm secretly hoping that he's holding back because he intends to get in the studio.Why would he go on a tour where he is not gonna give 100% and do his best.. Sounds weird to me.

Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 He has the money to hire the best vocal coaches in the world to help him.But he chooses not to stay in top form and/or rehearse. It's disrespectful to the fans at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His voice was amazing that night. At the Paris and Germany shows he had good and bad moments, but in Rotterdam I thought he was great.Haha I do care about yours. And I agree that he sounded really good, way better than I expected. But it's still a big difference if you compare it to 2010, which still bothers me.Songs like Rocket Queen and YCBM sounded awesome in 2010, and now they sound like they did in 2002.What I also find weird is that he can sing with rasp, but as soon as he sings in a higher key that rasp disappears.Just listen: He didn't do it that much in 2010.

I'm not a singer so I don't know why the rasp disappears when he sings in a higher key, if it's done by him on purpose or what. His 2010 voice was definitely better, but it's not at 2002 level imo. It's better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it wasn't the same show. There were several songs I didn't hear in 2010 that I heard this year (Estranged, Don't Cry, Civil War, Shacklers Revenge etc) So for me personally it was not the same show.

Because they played both Don't Cry and Shackler's there. They didn't play Patience though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
