seagullview Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 From time to time I hear that Axl's always been on/off in his performances. Well, I'm not saying that it isn't true, but I honestly can't recall ANY bad performances during the classic line-up 86-93. I remeber some slip-ups from Slash, but never from Axl.Could someone please post some poor performances from Axl during this period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-GenerationX Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 There are some in late 1988 and summer 1991 where its a little scratchy. Still knocks the shit out anything we get today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ88 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 are you telling me that someone performing in their 50s isn't as good as when they were in the 20s-30s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 are you telling me that someone performing in their 50s isn't as good as when they were in the 20s-30s? you are aware that axl was simply amazing 4 years ago right? as good as in his 20s-30s. if you want to defend his shit voice, use a different argument please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem Archer Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 to be honest, they all sucked, but axl's voice is way off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Matt's drumming is worse than Axl's voice in those Indiana shows. He kills the energy with his plodding, monotonous, boring style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 to be honest, they all suckedYeah, the entire band sounds pretty bad at the Indiana show.Axl, and I'm not trying to make a joke here, sounds like he has some sort of cold or had just recently lost his voice.

No, we are telling you our guy isn't. And has a more precipitous drop off than just about anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it looks to me that he was really drunk and probably coked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singing after an upper respiratory infection would do that for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetRose Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) That Indiana show was the 6th or 7th date on the actual tour. This is not counting the Rio dates which were back in January of 91. So by today's standards it's alright for Axl to sound like shit for the first several dates at the start of a tour. But not back in 91. Go figure. Those vocals on Nov. Rain sure beat the hell out of the Mickey Mouse vocals he uses today. And as far as the band,again start of a tour. With new songs. The kinks were probably still being worked out for live performances of those new songs. Edited April 15, 2014 by SweetRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneisKing1389 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 You know it's been said a million times that it's early and he pieces more together the further in the tour is. I don't read or post here that often and even I have read that.Maybe it wasn't plainly stated, but it has been implied on more than one occasion that, since he doesn't do warm-ups, the early shows are his warm-ups. And no, I'm not looking for quotes to back that up because I don't really care that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn_Smooth Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) So we have 2 people claiming that somebody said that it was OK for Axl to sound like shit at the start of a tour, and 0 people that are willing to back up that claim. Is there anybody out there that can back up their claim for them? Please? Again, thanks in advance.Let's make this easier. Can anybody that claims that it is OK for Axl to sound like shit at the start of a tour please step forward? Can we get a show of hands please?
