trqster Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Since it seems that '14 touring is pretty much over, let's contribute to highlight the best '14 Axl vocal performances during this year.I'll start with some mind-blowing performances from Vegas last show (7th June) that reminds me a lot of the infamous '12 Philly show...WTTJ and ISE YESTERDAYS (w/rasp) Edited July 14, 2014 by trqster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slitherz Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 This makes AFD sound even worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Of The Blues Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 No way, he totally dominated a killer vocal right there. I haven't followed the band very closely but the one video of yesterday that was recommended to me on youtube was "meh" at best. That was truly pretty good.

Dean Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Axl sounds amazing here, as does the band. My all time favourite performance of Don't Cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slitherz Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 So is it really normal that that fans have to watch low quality concert bootlegs when band is realeasing official Blu Ray... just because these bootlegs are 10 times better than official release... Fuck TB!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSoftie Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Incredible apart from the last few notes... Maybe time to change the melody there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NachoLZ Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Incredible apart from the last few notes... Maybe time to change the melody there.He should use the type of rasp he uses for "I've been walking the streets..." for every song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dando Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The performance of prostitute is amazing considering before this it was 2009 when he did it, and yesterdays too !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 June 6 (second last Vegas show) was the best show of the year, easily. He was on fire all night.The shows both before and after that one were also really good, but I think 6/6/14 was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Intense performance. It gives me goosebumps each time I hear it. Axl sounded so great at this show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on fire all night.The shows both before and after that one were also really good, but I think 6/6/14 was the best. Generally speaking, I agree that the 6th was the best. However, I think Prostitute was better on the 4th, if only because of the actual performance. I know you weren't there for that one so you can't make the comparison, but man...you could just feel how much Axl was putting into that song, it was palpable. I can't even put into words what it was like being there for that particular song, it was the single most amazing Axl performance I've seen in person.

IncitingChaos Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Intense performance. It gives me goosebumps each time I hear it. Axl sounded so great at this show. Dang! I forgot how awesome he was at the end of this run. Only songs I can think of that we didn't get a great performance were, rocket queen, you could be mine, and second half of estranged (maybe civil war) . Everything else had atleast one great performance. Hopefully Axl remains in form. Even builds on this. I hate to be let down, but I think this is the first evidence that Axl's classic voice could return since 2010. I'm still shocked that he put rasp on paradise city. I feel like that's been missing a while. So much potential still, we will see what happens when he returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even judging from the video, I agree Prostitute was better on the 4th. The best overall show (from what I've seen) was the 6th though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSoftie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 These Vegas shows have to go down in GNR history, I didn't think Philly could be beaten, especially when watching the SA tour but there we have it. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Finally found a video of better. I haven't seen many posted of the last few shows, but this one is from June 6.

Incredible.True, but in Philly there's a one of a kind rendition of Rocket Queen - with rasp. Also YCBM is much stronger than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Intense performance. It gives me goosebumps each time I hear it. Axl sounded so great at this show. This song has always be 'meh' to me live. Scream is good but I wish he'd use his chest voice for at least the verses. Some of the notes are lower than the 2nd part of patience so he could do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) TWAT from 6/6 reminds me why is this my fav song from CDIt seems to me Axl uses his 2006 voice on this one (very similar the only 2006 performance, but he know the verses know)Finally something good, makes me some sense that why i still follow Axl these days....
