GNRmello77 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 This Video is from their show at the Hiro Ballroom in 2012 Welcome To The Jungle and i think this is one of the last real power axl performances it was already rarely in 2012 and onwards but in this one he also moves the way we know him from snakedancing and stuff like he really found back his fire that night and full rasp! what do you guys think?

Gordon Comstock Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hiro Ballroom was one of the better 2012 shows, yea. His 'powerhouse' performances over the last few years are few and far between though, but here's one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Great videos! But for me his performance at the rose bar was classic Axl. The opening scream/growl in Jungle is never done anymore, but Axl went for it here and nailed it.

magisme Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wouldn't call it powerhouse at all. He's trying for the rasp and can't really do it most of the song. The snake dance is a little improvised but everything else is the same moves he's been doing at the same time in the song for years now. Even when he does the snake dance it's like, "Oops, I forgot I was supposed to do the crossover step here, right over left." Prostitute performance is awesome. One of the few things that have impressed me from him since 2010. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few things that have impressed me from him since 2010.well ofcourse different opinions are always there but i just think his moves look cool from that angle and it might be improvising what you say but it just comes out perfect and he looks pretty much on fire there. ofcourse the prostitute performance was impressive these things just show that Axl can still do it now and then when he isn't holding back or being lazy or whatever the reason is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was rly great. I bet it was awesome to be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Unfortunately as anyone ages both men and women your voice changes as well.Some critic told me that maybe if Axl tried to sing the GNR songs to match his voice now. I thought that was a good idea, but then how would the songs sound?Whenever I listen to original GNR songs, Axl's voice and screams and how he changed his voice was just awesome. Don't know if he could do that now?I still enjoyed the 3 GNR shows I've seen with Axl now, but it must have been fantastic seeing GNR back in 88.

magisme Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Very good You're Crazy. I was there. Mediocre at best Estranged. I guess slightly above average for 2011-2014 but that's like gold in the special olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The 2010 Arnhem show is on YouTube. It's one of Axl's best from the year and if you want to see him on fire watch the whole thing. I just posted YCBM, Nightrain, and WTTJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 the last powerhouse axl performance was argentina 1993 Man, don't let the truth get in the way of a good prejudiced dismissal of everything post-2001. '06-'10 he was capable of everything he ever had been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Alright, we got a good YCBM, enough jungle, you're crazy, nightrain, KOHD, prostitute. Let's hear a good Rocket Queen, november rain, paradise city, and idk what else. He seems to sing the rest with decent consistency. Maybe better?
