Axl_morris Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) I remember Shackler's in london 2010 sounding REALLY powerful (both nights). you can't get it on any youtube video, but his voice had depth, rasp and it pierced through the audiance and it was phenomenal. It was fantastic. You just have to believe me. When he goes into the chorus it sends shivers. Listening back isn't nothing special, but being there was unreal.

YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Those 20-30 seconds from Nightrain come to mind (Tokyo 2009). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 i guess going back to 2001 - 2006 is too easy, eh? I know vocally he didn't sound great on the old songs (for most people) in '01 and '02 but he still had some fire in his belly which was particularly showcased during the new songs. When he debuted The Blues at Rio '01 it's one of my favourite Axl moments ever.But anyway, if we're only talking about the past few years, then...4:13 into this video is the Axl Rose that I often miss. This performance is fucking beastly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUCrHW5PfuYAnd since people say he always sucks on YCBM nowadays, here's the closest he's sounded to his old self on the song since 1993: Listen to the scream around 3:18.and finally, another great performance of a song i wish they still played, even though the '01/'02 version (Which evader masterfully remade) is far superior because of the faster pace and Finck riff, which gave it a unique sense of energy that it now lacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Axl on fire?The first 3 minutes I ever witnessed of the guy live. if there were ever any doubt of his inherent charisma and energy as a frontman, all you have to do is look at videos like that. the guy just oozed stage presence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakDown2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Singing the verse a whole octave higher, that's crazy The scream in the middle is amazing, + Axl's singing the verse like if he didn't give a fuck about the fact that he' singing the song in a completely different way One of the best renditions of this song, I've only seen a few videos where Axl shows this level of control on his own voice. The second chorus is brilliant perhaps one of the best TIL Edited July 2, 2014 by BreakDown2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jwalker19 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 and finally, another great performance of a song i wish they still played, even though the '01/'02 version (Which evader masterfully remade) is far superior because of the faster pace and Finck riff, which gave it a unique sense of energy that it now lacks. I'm sorry, but that performance was awful minus the screams at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prettytiedup88 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Love this thread. I think the reason I find his current vocals so difficult to accept is because when I hear vocals like Nice Boys and SR at the O2 2010, it still gives me goosebumps. The charisma, accompanied by those screams and rasp, I defy anyone to argue against him being the best front man of all time. Its mesmerising watching him and thrilling hearing him on that level of form.I'd love a decent soundboard or pay good money for a professional release of the 2010 O2 shows. I was there and remember thinking how the sky was the limit for the band at that point. Such a brilliant night of performances all round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but that performance was awful minus the screams at the end.i like it because the vocals remind me of the '01/02 version which i'll always have a soft spot for. i know not everybody likes the clean helium voice but i always thought it worked splendidly on The Blues.axl also looked like a boss at osaka '09... no hats, no stuffy leather jackets, just rock star clothing and his old '90s style. i don't know why he literally only dressed like that for like one show and then dropped the look, he looked way better with the bandanas and plaid shirts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
