Black Sabbath Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Never saw that second video, thanks for posting. Axl was awesome in 06/07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The whole Budokan gig from 2007 was really good from what I remember, Axl was still solid vocally at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 That version of DC didn't do it for me. Didn't like the solo (was it Ron or Robin?) and Axl messed up the lyrics. The voice was solid after the 3-minute mark. That KOHD vid is great but no one in the audience seemed to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riot Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 don't cry sounds like a mash up between the band playing dont cry instrumental, and a guy impersonating axl. at least his low voice. sounds weird. not the same grain in his voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jman2000 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Love that version of KOHD, that's my favorite version. Sounds like the 2002 version. I really don't like how the old band played it after hearing those versions. That version of Madagascar isn't too bad either. Voice is awesome!

Estranged Reality Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Two examples of Axl still sounding great in 2007: I used to love the new band's rendition of Knockin On Heaven's Door. I think that video is from the Versace fashion show or whatever it was. I remember when it happened.I remember being annoyed because it appeared that no one in the audience was appreciative of the performance. It was also, I think, the first time I saw Axl wearing makeup/eyeliner, which he does a lot more often now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreCC Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Realistically Axl's voice on live shows hasn't been great since 1993. 2010 was the closest he's been to it, but i could settle for his voice in 2006/07 because it's very acceptable and 2010 because it's good enough for me.But none of those performances compare to good Old Axl from the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his 20's. you can't expect a rock vocalist to sound like that in their 40's or 50's. At least not when the style is so demanding. Gn'R songs are very hard to sing.

And I disagree with AndreCC. Axl's voice on live shows was GREAT in 2006 and part of 2010. Better than lots of shows back in the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch KOHD from Rock Am Ring, he sounds even better than he did in the 90s, way more control over his rasp. That's where he struggled in the old days, with controlling his rasp and not over-doing it. For most of 2006 and and most of 2010, he had great control, and had adapted his raspy voice to do the marathon sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Axl in his prime is/was untouchable. He was also more inconsistent in his prime than he was for the bulk if '06 and '10, in part because he'd give the performance of a lifetime at one show, but his voice would be blown for the next 4 shows.
