Wallrose794 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Axl coughed during "Patience" just like he did in Oklahoma 92... I think it was at the same part, he only missed the 'bullshit' part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblefeet Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 BetterOMG that was a really horrible Better. And he sounded like he was running out of breath in almost every line. He seems to be running out of breath for most all of the songs I've seen from this new tour. At this point, I wouldn't mind if he carried the oxygen tanks on stage if it meant he could finish his notes... All kidding aside, he needs to get in better shape, we all know he can sing better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin' Cigarettes Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 How come everyone's opinion is so different?Because people who go to the shows are on an adrenaline rush and the high ruins their better judgment on Axl's voice.The rest know better and we can't turn away from this trainwreck. Being hooked on GN'R is like being hooked on crack. I can't stop relapsing daily even though it's about as pathetic as it can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I am sure all the "new" guys are hating having Duff around, they are knowing it is giving Axl some thoughts of going full blown reunion on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Of The Blues Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) It's like so many people have negativity to spread but never throw any interest in to their argument at all. There isn't anything more bad ass to be happy about withen this community right now and yes we do get bored with good news quickly but I have one solid question: Why are we even obsessed with rasp after a mere 27 years of which the famously energetic ritz show barely broadcasted at all? Yes that style was great but I'm absolutely not surprised by the outcome and neither should you, people can be such raspholes sometimes! Duff had to do a lot to get off that stage and back on it again, . There is more to this band than a scratchy voice.

Perhaps not on this tour where all the fans sing along really loud, I'll grant you that. Edited April 7, 2014 by Bumblefeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumcat Esq. Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Shacklers mad respect for Duff. I was listening the Shacklers bass part and its like a reverse bass part noise really. The Vietnam of punk bass. Guys, guys its the same set list sans Raw power and Atittude.And My Michelle, mate. You forgot My Michelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not on this tour where all the fans sing along really loud, I'll grant you that.In some passages, Axl ran and sang at the same time with enought air. In others... he was out of air, but... whats the problem? The overall performance was 9/10. Much energy, and (with his limitations) Axl tried to give all in every verse.In the live show you aren't focused in the breathe, or technical vocal issues. You enjoy and thats all.

username Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Attitude and raw powerLooks like Duff tries to grab Axl to stay on stage at the beginning and sing.It's really cool to hear Duff do this though! He looks and sounds awesome. I also love Axl calling him "the new guy". Edited April 7, 2014 by username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppetiteForGnR Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's like ppl said. At the show u get caught up in the moment, the excitement and can't judge the performance properly.When asking 'what's the best show' from a given year, a lot of ppl will say the show they went to......yeah right.Only by studying recordings of every song from every show, nitpicking at every note and line can u give a more accurate and objective assessment of the performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Attitude sounded as great as it always has, and Raw Power sounded fucking awesome. I'm a huge fan of Tommy, he's really one of my favorite members of the band. But man, it just looks so right having Duff up there. I'm gutted I can't see one of these gigs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gutted I can't see one of these gigs You reckon Duff will guest at any of the Vegas shows, à la Izzy at the last residency? What's Duff's May/June schedule like?Attitude got a huge response (i.e .I was fighting for my life in the pit), whereas Raw Power received a much more subdued response (i.e. I could breathe). Could just have been people were saving energy for moshing to AFD/UYI songs. Was cool having crowd jumping along with Axl in Better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hm, I wonder what will make this residency special then. I mean, the current setlist was essentially formed during the course of the last one, and we've already had a flying piano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 His voice is just very weak. He's done a ton of damage to it over the years. It's the reason we haven't seen 2 full years of a raspy voice since the UYI lineup fell apart. 2006 only lasted a year and 2009-2010 ended shortly in the first gig of 11. There's no telling how how much it hurts to try and sing like he use to.I think he needs to get in touch with the best vocal coach he can find to see how much of his old voice he can retrieve by using different techniques. Idk I'm no singer, but I feel he could get help with his voice if he really wanted to. Maybe he has, I think he's too stubborn to though.You can! sing with aggression and not hurt yourself... It can be learned! Many, many pro singers use the technique and they don't hurt themselves. A vocal coach can and will help Axl he just has to reach out for the assistance and it doesn't look he's about to do that. The fact is, if he thought he sounded bad he wouldn't be on the road embarrassing himself... he really thinks he sounds good. He has moments that sound pretty cool, and then other times are... horrible, that viedo of better for example horrible, but It's so easy was pretty good, not amazing but he gave it a lot of energy and seemed into it.GnR get a bloody vocal coach, you can afford it and you desperately need it... you have pro musicians around you... how can they not hear what we're hearing... fear will do that to you I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
