magisme Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Estranged is terrible live now. It's the definition of going through the motions.Axl's live voice didn't really suit Estranged in the UYI years, but he was still energetic, dynamic Axl at that time, and GNR was still GNR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetRose Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 On the You're Crazy clips It's not quiet the same but it's passable as far as vocals.But band wise,hands down the old guys,only because I love the more twanginess of it.Definately prefer Duff's twangy/funky bass.I don't know if its the audio quality of the more recent performance,but the bass seems like its barely there.And for me,that's part of what makes the song.

SweetRose Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Sweet Child O'Mine There's Nov.Rain comparison but I couldn't play it on my ph and didn't see the link for it. And the thing is some of these 91 performances is from the Tokyo show that was released that everybody says sucked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetRose Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 That's all I could find right now.And I was going to change the title of the thread to Videos Comparing Axl Vocals:Then and Now. Or some along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreCC Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I do agree it's embarassing, but the 1991 shows were about 20 plus years ago?! People get old you know??Not even the guy from Led Zeppelin sounds as good as he used to...age does that. (Even though he still sounds pretty good).How can you compare a 30 year old Axl, with a 53 year old Axl??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare to Brian Johnson and Steven Tyler who have similar vocal styles to Axl and are about ten years older than him and even though neither is as good as they were years ago they're still pretty good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
