seagullview Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 No I'm not talking about hotsauces. I mean the various sound effects one can find in the guns songs. There's a lot of them, especially in the oldGN'R songs. I think it adds to the songs and makes the songs richer. Firstly you have Axl's very versatile voice. High, deep, he could do it all. He did a lot of whistling in the early days. What would Patience be without the whistling at the beginning? He also has that shiver/trembling voice he does sometimes. Whispering. Screaming. Talking. And then there's all the "ohhhh" and "yeah" and similar. Devil laughter is another one. He even sings with an English accent just to add to the variety. Small comments at the end of songs. Personally love the dark double voice in Locomotive.There's the famous sex moaning in RQ. Other girls voices in other songs. Chinese voices. Phone dialling and comments in KOHD. They also have some guest singers and other members of the band singing to add to the variety (Duff, Izzy, Tommy, Shannon). Medical instruments and the voice of the doctors. There's Trisha and Roberta. Then you have all the movie quotations they have incorporated into their songs. They're all a big part of the songs now, like Civil War.I have mentioned some of them, there are others too, but as you can see the songs are full of them. So I think we can say it's sort of a trademark for their songs. I guess a lot of the songs have been worked on for a long while too so they had plenty of time to add all those effects on.What do you think about the extra sounds they have added? Adds a positive dimension or would you prefer more "cleaner" songs without any effects? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Everything you mention is shit and shouldn't be on the songs, except maybe the whistling. It's kinda cringeworthy when you think of all the additional cheese Axl put on the pie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I like the shiver on Shacklers, long time deep voice on TWAT, quote breakdown on Madagascar is epic. It's hard to imagine songs without it because its all over all GNR albums. Maybe keep it to a minimum, AFD or CD. UYI was a bit overkill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I've always liked that 'vacuum' quote on Civil War. Maybe because it was originally said by the Peruvian MRTA guerrilla officer, Abimael Guzman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
