Guest RonMexico82 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Funny that he didn't feel the need or bother to inform the audience that he wasn't feeling well but we only get the strep throat line after the shit hits the fan, which could have all been avoided if Axl, after the first song, just said - "Not feeling the best but glad to be here."

AxlIsGod. Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Now, if I was Axl and I did actually have a strep throat, then I would have done the following:"Hi, it's an honor to be here to perform for such a good cause. Now for the bad news, I'm sorry to say that I've come down with strep throat, so please bare with my voice guys. Let's do this!" 1.. 2.. 3.. *start songAnd everybody would have been forgiving. Now it's just damage control because he doesn't have strep throat, he's just come to the conclusion that his performance sucked and needed another excuse.This x1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 So last night's performance proves to be a field day for the internet tough guys..what a surprise. Why rejoice or lash out at Axl because of the quality of the performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I saw Axl give a brilliant vocal performance in Birmingham 2010... And then he apologised for his voice being out... Even though he put on a great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It is obvious he was sick. Bumblefoot even came on gunsnroses.com and confirmed it and gave him props for even doing the show. His voice was cutting out at many parts where it never would before and I am not talking back in the 90s or early 2000s, his voice would have never cut out like that at any of the shows earlier this year. He sounded amazing when I saw him in February on the UCAP tour. I am very sorry he was sick and sorry for the luck of these streamed shows always getting the sick voice, I remember back in 2011 him having bronchitis as well possibly near the RIR show. Axl always says himself back luck follows him around, so this could be just one of those things. Being a singer and one that travels around to different climates and being cooped in hotels much of the time it is not a surprise that he acquires these upper respiratory illnesses. This is not the end of the world or the end of GNR by any means, he was sick, period. I thought Patience sounded pretty good. Just the songs that require the growl and scream were out of reach with strep throat. Think how frustrating it must be for him. I'm glad he did the show despite the illness and did not cause another no-show headline right before the Vegas shows. You literally have so many professional singers in the world, that also travel and age, and yet this only happens to Axl Rose. Yes, that sounds like a way of explaining things correctly...Yes.... only Axl.

ColdHeartBreaker Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Just a thought: Maybe Axl wasn't keen on being seen as whiny about his health in front of kids who have severe speech and physical impairments.

wkuk04 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Axl's voice is so unique that it must be a demanding challenge to hit all the notes all the time, his voice was so powerful at age 25-30 year old plus a three year tour must have really shot his voice, how the hell do people expect him to better the studio ycbm vocals for example. Performing with strep throat can't be easy but at least he's got the benefit of the show at heart. Does he still smoke the stogies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iftheworld Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hey it's for the kids so cool. However, he just lost a lot of Vegas tickets sales with that vocal performance.Axl is becoming the Dallas Cowboys of Rock N' Roll. An amazing unit. But don't play to their potential (Axl).

She's performed about 300 concerts and has canceled 2 shows, one of which was rescheduled. I don't think Axl can say the same. I'm sure Soul Monster can do a spreadsheet or something though for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
