izzydoezit Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 In most classic GNR songs, the backing vocals are a very important element of the songs. Duff and Izzy did most of this important job. Sometimes even Slash participated.In the nu-Band I find the vocals are pretty weak compared to Duff-Izzy. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I agree. I guess that just reflects the band in general though. They are weaker musicians than old GNR was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuanVictor Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Bumblefoot has an amazing vocal/backing vocal.I like Dizzy, Fortus and Tommy backing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatVin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Dizzy and Ron are great on backing vocals. I don't like Tommy's.The thing is, the backing vocals are kind of buried in the mix. Don't know why, maybe it's just that live mixing habits changed since the 80s and 90s.I don't know why DJ does the backings so rarely in GNR, he's not bad at all at singing.

Coma16 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) During the 2011 pro-shots of Jungle, I found one of the backing vocals to be really annoying. I think it was Dizzy but not 100% sure..Edit: it was definitely Chris, not Dizzy.... Edited August 1, 2012 by Coma16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Drama Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Listen to There Was A Time "Yeah there was a time, didn't wanna know it all, etc."I'm pretty sure that's all Tommy, all those layers/harmonies. Maybe some Dizzy. Just listen to the multitracks, none of it is Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I don't know why DJ does the backings so rarely in GNR, he's not bad at all at singing.He'll promote Ashbaswag whilst singing..."Yeah there was a time, 20% off it all, 20% off it all, and I just wanna sell it now!"

Jakey Styley Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 If the current lineup records an album, it'd be really cool if BBF does backing vocals that are prominent in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flayer Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Robin's in 2002 were real good. There's been a few cringeworthy moments with them on the recent tour but overall I think they've been good, too quiet a lot of the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
