axlrod 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" =) Good to hear that you had a great time Fabio.Apparently, there were few distorted video-sound uploaded online that some fans were taking them seriously.

Pedrolg Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Also, just as a sidenote, outside of the hardcore fans, reviews of this tour have been rock solid in Brazil, specially from the mainstream media. Nothing but praise for Axl`s performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I don't think he controls the rasp as well as he controls his higher voice. When he sings with rasp I think he struggles to finish notes but with the high voice he can carry notes longer. Someone in the band said Axl feels he has more control of his voice, and can do more now with his voice than he ever could before. I think that was alluding to using a higher voice that he could control. I personally think Axl's raspy or lower voice is what makes or breaks him. I don't like the higher voice. It doesn't suit many of the songs he sings. If Axl would spend some time with a vocal coach and work on controlling the lower raspier side of his voice he could get his vocals strong again, which would equal great concerts/YouTube videos.

Guest Gunns Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I really don't think it has as much to do with a vocal coach as some might think, I think a lot of it (and judging by the performances in previous times, compared to recently) is more to do with the energy and intensity that Axl has. He always has energy in his performances, but you can definitely notice sometimes , it's more in 'autopilot' mode then it is in 'hunger/possessed demon' mode, and subsequently when he is 'hungry' (cue jokes) to throw 100% into it, he just hits it with that voice that seemingly comes from no where with that raspy goodness Edited March 29, 2014 by Gunns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrolg Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Very short, but it does sound better than the previous shows, even though the vocals are pretty clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I just don't understand how he went back to the clean vocals when just last June he had rasp in Paradise City.I guess he doesn't see the point? Rasp doesn't sound comfortable, and these crowds seem to be happy no matter what, so why bother? With shows like Philly 2012, he had something to prove (i.e. trying to make up for Philly 2002).

With shows like Philly 2012, he had something to prove (i.e. trying to make up for Philly 2002).The point is for me to be able to watch YouTube videos and be happy with what I'm hearing!Jk I guess I wish he wouldn't get so complacent then. I mean most people think Axl is a washed up rock star who ruined the greatest band of all time with his ego...he should feel like he has something to prove, but I guess that ship sailed. Honestly I just want something to cheer Axl for. I feel like he's under appreciated as a rock icon. But if he is happy touring, and enjoying his life with vacations and drinking then I can't blame him. I would probably be twice as fat and not singing if I were in his shoes. As long as this is good enough for Axl then I shouldn't complain. Let the guy enjoy his retirement, if he decides to make one more great musical run then I'll be here cheering him all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stratus Posted March 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2014 Very short, but it does sound better than the previous shows, even though the vocals are pretty clean.He sounds like a shadow of his former self and no I am not talking about 92'. Seriously, folks. I would be the first in line to defend the guy if he had hit the gym and took his own voice seriously between legs of the endless ChiDem tour. It seems he doesn't record albums anymore so touring is his primary job. He has no excuses.You are just setting the bar ridiculously low for someone making millions by performing his work from 20+ years ago at a very poor level. I don't expect to see a 27 years old on stage. I do think that he should be somewhere between 06' stage presence and 10' voice. The problem is that he doesn't give a fuck and still has lots of delusional enablers to keep him going.Heck, have you forgotten this was the guy who disappeared from stages for almost a decade? You would expect someone like him to push harder, esp. after what happened to MJ, but no, he's just pulling out an Elvis at this point.Someone else made a point that "the media" is supposedly praising the concerts. Are you saying we care what the media thinks about this incarnation of the band now? If you do, all I see are snarky comments about black towels, Axl being the only original member and the concerts starting late. I am fluent in Portuguese, so don't BS me with "ermahgerd, the Brazilian media is in love with the band now". They couldn't care less but will report on it. That's the same media reporting that Paris Hilton landed in Rio. They will write an article about any foreigner that was/is a celebrity reinforcing whatever stereotypes were set beforehand. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rose Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 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.He wears 'angry' Mickey Mouse shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Somebody should hold a sign at one of these shows saying "EXCELLENT RASPY VOICE PLZ"I wouldn't have the balls. I actually think it could really cause chaos. He'd explode into an expletive-filled rant and wouldn't carry on until you were removed. Then TB would blacklist you.What I would do is hold up a sign saying 'Please play The General' etc and I wouldn't care if he got mad. If he did i'd have another sign in reserve saying 'Balls to you. You massive wanker.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birk Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The first shows of every tour Axl sounds horrible, where the fuck have you guys been.

YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 As much as I hate to say it, because I'd love to hear new material, Axl's done. He can't sing anymore, he's nothing without the rasp.Thank you Axl for destroying the one thing that got me into GN'R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 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' I feel bad for asking.

You analyze everything about the poor guy and just bitch bitch bitch, wake up call the older he gets the longer its gonna take him to get going. Yeah, I get that. But we only get like 10 shows a tour/leg these days. At what point is it acceptable for him to start sounding good? So he sounds OK at the last 2 shows of a tour, where all the other 15 paid and got terrible shows. That hardly seems fair. Fucking rehearse if we all know you're gonna sound terrible at the beginning of a tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
