OnkelSivert Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Anything after '06 is lightyears ahead of '01-'02. Even the vast majority of 2012, you listen to any performance of Jungle from this tour and listen to it at Rio 2001, apart from the opening scream it pales in comparison.the outro screem? Sickest he ever done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guns n' Swedes Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Btw, the RIR 2001 intro was the sickest intro I've ever seen. Set the mood perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did enjoy the 01-02 voice, but then he returned to the Hammerstein my jaw dropped! His voice was amazing! I think his voice was pretty solid when I went to the joint this month.

I think his CD Vox were way too low in the mix making them appear week. "Nobody Owes You" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonMexico82 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 His vocals on Angel Down sounded more like the Axl we know. I don't like his vocals on Chinese Democracy. The only songs that sound "normal" are TWAT, the verses on Better, IRS, SOD, Prostitute. Riad, CD, Scraped, Shacklers, Madagascar and Catcher annoy my ears.

JimMorrison4 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The thing about his 2002 voice was it was bad, but it had power. He could run around and still have power. Today he has very little power.The difference between a 40 year old and a 50 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Axl should ease off on the next record. Use his Nightrain voice for the whole record. Which probably means he'll do some sort of crazy operatic vocals which only Pavorotti could actually pull off in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rose Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Repeating myself here but there's so much horse shit that continuously gets posted.It's obviously a choice on his part. In 2010 he sang e.g. the chorus of This I Love using his chest voice with full rasp. Since 2011 he has hit those notes using falsetto with no rasp. Why? Because if he carried on singing the way he did in 2010 to please us he'd have no range, falsetto or otherwise, left in a few years. Just about everyone apart from Ali would much rather hear This I Love the way he sang it in 2010 but the reality is if he wants to preserve the falsetto he uses to hit the high notes these days into his 60s then he has to avoid screeching at full power with his chest and head voice.One thing nobody has ever mentioned in regards to him sounding so amazing at the age of 48 is that he took seven years off in his 30s. And if you discount the tame falsetto singing he did at relatively few dates in 2001-2002 then he actually took twelve years off during his absolute prime.I very much doubt that had he toured hard in 95-96, 98-99, 01-02 that he'd have been able to do what he did in 2010.I've no doubt that he could still pull off another touring year like 2010 if he wanted to, he's just erring on the side of longevity, since touring is his bread and butter.As I said before, the only thing that bothers me about it is that he doesn't prepare and sing hard when he's on tv/stream in front of millions and that he can't be arsed to work at songs like Prostitute, Catcher and Twat to get some great live versions down for posterity.

SONOFABITCH Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have seen his voice bounce back before. After Rio is voice sounded very good in Atlantic City and then Philadelphia. I think that could still happen. But time catches up with everyone. Even W. Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Now that Hostess is out of business maybe he will stop eating so many twinkies causeing him to lose some weight and get in shape. That would probably help his voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulywauly Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?feature=relmfu&v=qSW1MVrHfUAFor those who say he gets stronger as tours go on, watch this especially from 6.50 mins, this I think was the 3rd or 4th show from 2009 when he we on fire, any of the videos from this gig are unbelievable why is he not singing like this now, you can hear the power that he just holds off on now, and he doesn't sound the same or as good.
