Nosaj Thing Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Well, the band were alright, lots of missed notes here and there but understandable because it was an acoustic show. Better on acoustic is shit, I know they could have done a better job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ridiculous the way people are overreacting, again. Seriously, some people make it seem like he sounded worse than the 02 VMAs or something. Really, he didn't sound bad. There were fuck-ups (er, what the fuck happened in Jungle? Some fuck-ups in Better too I think), but vocally, given the circumstances, I thought he did fine First night of the tour, obviously he's not hit his stride (as is the case with every tour he's ever done), but he sounded decent enough on Patience, SCOM, the 2nd half of Jungle, and Paradise. He sounded like he was holding back, not using any real power because it was an acoustic show, but it was awkward and made him sound like an old man at points, trying to use rasp without power.

Gordon Comstock Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Seriously? Some of you guys are ridiculous. It was cool to see the band do a small set and have fun. Honestly, shit here get's blown so far out of proportion it's not even funny. And I knew before the show even started that people here afterwards would be calling it terrible or even the worst show ever - fuck off. It wasn't a bad show, certainly not worse than Rio like some people think. People who are here today to do nothing but talk shit about the show are the people who have ruined the forum.

Nosaj Thing Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hahaha, you gotta be a really stupid person to think that was a great performance. Really. Some Axl nutters would do and say anything to defend their hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetness Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It wasn't "great", it just wasn't nearly as bad as some people say.Yes it was, it really was that bad. anybody could have gone out there and sang the songs better than Axl did. That's like the singing voice I use when I'm making fun of 80's pop songs and this guy is supposed to be a professional musician, fucking embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not He sounded pretty much like I thought he would though. It's the start of the tour, and it was acoustic. He sounded "old man-ish" at times but it was an awkward thing, like he could've used a good amount of rasp but just didn't put the power behind it (due to it being an acoustic show). The reaction of people here is pretty much what I expected too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Maybe I enjoyed it because I didn't expect 1991 or even 2010 Axl to show up so this is what it's come to, his own fans no longer expect the best from their idolI saw Roger Waters earlier this year, this is a man who already had the bulk of his career behind him by the time GNR were breaking through, and he sang The Wall note for note flawlessly with power and passion, gave one of the best performances I've ever seen and exceeded my expectations by far. I know Axl's singing style is much more challenging, but to think we as fans can't even expect him to sound good on stage is just plain sad. There is some effort required in performing arts, last night Axl gave none and it really hurts to see somebody you consider your favorite singer look on par with drunken losers doing karaoke at the local mexican restaurantI hope he bounces back but it's hard to get behind that, how long can we sit here and make excuses for the guy?

Or are my expectations simply realistic? It was the first show, acoustic, and just supposed to be a fun little gig - I wasn't expecting him to come roaring out screeching like a madman for an acoustic benefit show For me, the only disappointment of the show was Better being played instead of Catcher or This I Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what he sounds like and he absolutely can't help it anymore I think it's time to retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
