Guns n' Swedes Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 If you check the likes on youtube of the most seen vids from this tour, those are a lot more than the dislikes. That's pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Amir Posted March 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2014 God you people are fucking brutal. Sick of this "fanbase".What is there to praise, though? A month ago I was similarly tired of the negativity, and actually believed that 2014 would be different from 2011-13, but as soon as Rio rolled around and it was clear Axl didn't give a shit any more besides turning up and collecting the fans' hard-earned money, I was completely heartbroken. What an idiot I was. All those years of faith and support, for nothing, for Axl to tour South America and play Vegas with a pisspoor Slash impersonator and Dizzy Fuckin' Reed. I'm really trying to find something to be positive about, but this is embarrassing, and a shame to the once great GNR name. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
there is no dana only zool Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm gonna try to be a visual artist here for a second and say that i. I think Axl's current wardrobe is awesome (but that's beside the point) ii. With that said, the colors he's wearing create some really cool contrast against the stage setup/screen.

Street Of The Blues Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 That video wasn't so bad. I think the best way to sing Jungle is like '93 where it wasn't full rasp but not mickey either. Kinda bridged between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Seems he finished Jungle off well.Where? That ending was fucking brutal, especially his attempt to run and sing at the same time which brings back VMA flashbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda bridged between.I think that voice would hurt him more than full rasp. He would have to screech in a much lower voice to find that sound again. It hurts me to think about. It would be cool though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Of The Blues Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 He is looking alot thinner, haven't bothered looking at the jacket everyone complains about until not but it's very nice. Fans are critical because they want the best concert for their money, hopefully as the tour goes on his voice will break in and he limits the painful sounding falsetto.

IncitingChaos Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 http://youtu.be/-x0ZiCrPifASeems he finished Jungle off well. Where? That ending was fucking brutal, especially his attempt to run and sing at the same time which brings back VMA flashbacks.Well in comparison to the video earlier, the ending sounds amazing! I agree he sounds out of breath, but it isn't Mickey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 No, its not. Stop trying to convince anyone it is. The two videos go together well because they both suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratus Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Seems he finished Jungle off well.Where? That ending was fucking brutal, especially his attempt to run and sing at the same time which brings back VMA flashbacks.Axl doesn't sound like a gifted or pro singer in this short clip at all. The age of "run and sing" is over. I feel sorry for the guy. Actually, I've been thinking about it lately. Sorry as a song fits like a glove if you think about it as a message from a concerned fan to him. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Jesus, that's considered acceptable now? He was literally huffing and puffing during the knees part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 What did I miss tonight? (lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Of The Blues Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 When you have the oxygen set-up of him, two songs into a set and sound winded it's time to re-evaluate. Soon enough he'll have to change the way he approaches certain songs because that 2010 tour really took a toll. Which was great, but he's getting old man and I can almost feel the pain in his screech, it sounds sore as hell. Half a step drop in the instruments might be in order soon.

IncitingChaos Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Jesus..I have been critical of Axl lately but some of you are just assholes. Oh well, I'm still hoping Axl gets it going this tour. I'm really just hoping he can get on par with last year and build from there. Slow start, I think it will improve though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrolg Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 That Philly concert was badass, but a bit out of the blue. 2012 was closer to those Brazil shows than to that most of the time.A friend of mine was at the show tonight, said he turned on the rasp a couple of times. I think probably there will be odd one where he is on fire on this tour, making everybody who attended other shows feel bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 but some of you are just assholes.I'm an asshole and he sounds terrible. That's how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Of The Blues Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'd hate for it to go the other way so let's all hope he can sound on par. There would be nothing worse then if he ruined his voice by going outside of his comfort zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrolg Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) During the shows here in Brazil, when he interacts with the crowd, he throws massive screams with this amazing voice. I really believe he can still sing like that, he just doesn't do it for some unknown reason. It involves a myriad of other things we are not aware of I think. Look at how much fun he is having in that Philly concert. He is rocking, and he knows that. I just can't feel that anymore from him. I can't understand how can this subject not come up in a single interview with him, or the band. How come nobody ever asked "why do you sing with clean vocals now".

FabioRoses Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 well guys, i just got home, it started 23.34 pm and finished 02.10 pm. when you're there, at the live setting, it's pretty amazing. axl sounded fine, yup, no rasp at all, but sounded fine with the clean voice. there were raspy parts for sure like Better, Welcome to the Jungle and other songs. it was amazing, Axl was on awesome mood, joking around and smiling =) had a great time. Civil War was played by "request" =) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrolg Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nah, there are ways to ask that without stepping on his toes, really. "Your voice has changed, you`ve been singing with cleaner vocals now. Is that a personal preference, you maturing as a singer, is it something to preserve your health or has your voice simply changed?"Voices do change. However, usually, they get raspier with time, not the other way, and it becomes harder to reach the higher notes. Just listen to the original recording of Dream on by Aerosmith, and any recent live performance.I remember some reviews from 2010 and even from that exact Philly gig giving Axl shit for not hitting the higher notes as he used to. Maybe those got to him. You can say whatever you want about Mickey Mouse, but he reaches very high, higher than the beloved "rasp". I`m just speculating here, really. I don't think though, that Axl Rose is aware that his raspy voice returning would mean so much for so many fans right now. It seems to me that the full scope of that eternal question never made its way to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever.It's like that anecdote he shared in Dublin. He said that "he had no idea" as to why he couldn't finish Don't Cry with his "raspy voice". I mean, even if he's deliberately choosing to sing with clean vocals, how would you explain the completely out of shape state? He's out of breath every 5 seconds.

Guest Gunns Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) not that there's any point, but could someone update the first post with the setlist? I love reading the same setlist for the hundreth time and I get upset when I cant do it,I cant have a good night's sleep unless I read my daily dose of 'chinese, jungle, brownstone' Edited March 29, 2014 by Gunns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
