double talkin jive mfkr Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 looking at youtube videos and not only is Axl screeching in top top form and also an almost complete effortless manner the band rocks just as good, especially steven i think i'd put steven and axl as toe to toe in 1986 slash is actually not as good as them here is an example are there any other rare or great examples of 1986 just seems axl and steven are the top members of the band in this year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Holy crap. Imagine seeing this show live.It's no wonder that the AFD guys exploded and will always be regarded as one of the greatest rock bands of all time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Coma Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Wow that video is absolutely incredible. Axls voice is out of this world man. This is why afd sounds so good man his vocals during this period were fuking spot on. Lol imagine Axl doing that move at like 2:35 mark today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER PT Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The power of youth...Steven used to bring such a good/positive energy to this band.Regarding Slash, I think it's normal a guitar player get better and better over the time ...

Duff27 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Guitarists generally improve over time. Where as vocalists can suffer over time. There is only so much you can put your vocals through.Steven is on form in this, and if you notice around the time he started doing coke is when he started suffering. which i beleive was around 87/88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Pretty sure it was more the heroin Steve mixed with his coke that fucked him up, there's the downside of extreme paranoia and what have you from prolonged use but it's definitely a drug you can get things done on.

Daedalus Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The first time I realized what Steve did for the band was when he broke his hand in Michigan. Tried to punch through a wall and busted his hand. So we had Fred Coury come in from Cinderella for the Houston show. Fred played technically good and steady, but the songs sounded just awful. They were written with Steve playing the drums and his sense of swing was the push and pull that give the songs their feel. When that was gone, it was just...unbelievable, weird. Nothing worked. I would have preferred to continue with Steve, but we'd had two years off and we couldn't wait any longer.Izzy Stradlin, Musician 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I've always felt that when you compare Steven and Matt, Steven has groove and swing while Matt is more of a human drum machine. And I just really prefer that more organic drum sound that Steven has. Great performance. Absolutely aced it. I agree on Axl's look being dreadful though! Hair Metal Axl was never my favorite look. But his voice here is pretty much untouchable. Edited January 15, 2015 by username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyrobot Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ugh... I don't see anything spectacularly different about Axl's voice here. Actually it is crappy with excessive rasp, he mess up all verses, goes out of breath in many occasions, doesn't sing some parts, disappears for a while and the tone is way lower than in the record.

niceguy Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Now imagine: Ron masturbating his wheedly-wee shit-shred Atari noises all over this.Or DJ doing his Hogan ears and trying his damndest to carbon-copy Slash.Or Pitsmann adding "sub bass".Or Stusson saying "I HATE GNR! FUCKING CORPORATE ROCK!" while mimicking Duff and collecting a fat paycheck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Incredible performance. Real Guns N' Roses was a great band. Axl is simply killing it on stage, and feeling the music running through his veins. Steven is the highlight of that performance, really.Thanks for sharing! It's been a while since I first watched that video. Edited January 17, 2015 by Nosaj Thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only Axl but the entire band. It`s just that Axl is the singer and besides he is much more expressive than all the other 4 guys so it shows much more.On a side note, maybe Slash wasn`t giving his 100% on this because this is an ~Izzy song~ and it is natural that he doesn`t get as much involved as he would if this was one of his songs or a song he helped to write.But back to Axl. The way Axl sings and moves and gives everything on this performance is a sight to behold. He was giving all that he got and when Axl does that, it is a beauty.
