Cory Trevor Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 doubt it will since it is merely an opinion but that is bucharest, regarded as one of the best 2010 concerts that is the most recent live performance of Axl RoseSHIT SOUNDS AMAZING and to me (once again this is an opinion) he sounds like he has all the same capabilities he has always had, but just phones it in with falsetto/that clean head voice from 2000-2002 nowadays. that concert was one month earlier than the vegas performance and you can very easily hear the difference between the vocal technique/effort put in ALSO, DJ Ashba starts his solo in the wrong fuckin key and keeps it going for an unforgivable amount of time in the last vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Broue Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Bucharest was good, i was thereAlso rasp is what made Axl famous so without rasp (especially on classic songs) he is laughable... It works on some CD songs and some covers, but overall the rasp talk here is for a reason: that is what made Axl a prime performerOnly on GNR forums has "rasp" become an actual subject of debate.Maybe because hte general public can't even give a shit about Axl's falsetto?When people trash him for his vocals is mostly because the falsetto/clean voice...

IncitingChaos Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) You can't take one song and say "he's back!" You should be able to put together an entire show. If you can do the same with YCBM and Rocket Queen then I'll agree, but as of right now he's not there yet. Everyone is rooting for the rasp to return, but I think you're jumping the gun a bit! First is 2010 and second is the last show in Vegas. We are still that far away from getting the rasp we want.

Jordan Rose Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 doubt it will since it is merely an opinion butSHIT SOUNDS AMAZING and to me (once again this is an opinion) he sounds like he has all the same capabilities he has always had, but just phones it in with falsetto/that clean head voice from 2000-2002 nowadays.Absolutely. It couldn't be any more obvious that his singing technique and general effort put into singing and performance for each tour matches his general attitude and level of effort all round. There's no better proof of that than Philly 2012 when he chose to bring rasp and intense performance during a tour he was otherwise relatively disinterested in compared to 06-10.The fact that so many people here completely ignore the obvious fact that it's a CHOICE on his part to either a) perform as close as possible to his heyday in terms of energy and vocals or b) phone it in whilst hiding behind gaudy outfits, hats and glasses for the entire tour is pretty irritating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just has to push his voice to an uncomfortable level. You can hear a good voice come out when he pushes his vocals, but he lacks stamina and as weird as this will sound, practice with his vocals to feel comfortable going to 2010 levels of energy. He might not be pushing his vocals on a few songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Atleast he's trying. He's trying and succeeding at times at putting rasp in paradise city. The last show in Vegas shows this. So he gets it, but I don't think he's letting his voice get to where he needs it. The guy has some of the best vocal chords in the history if music and nobody has stretched them as far as he has. To say he's done at age 50 would be a shame. He just needs to practice and work on it with a vocal coach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Listen to There Was A Time and Prostitute from the residency, he still got the ability after he takes half the tour to warm up, you might say rehearsing or actually singing new songs on downtime would help rectify that but Axl is a creature of habit.

jbhutto Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Not saying he doesn't purposely use the Mickey voice or otherwise try to conserve his voice, but if he could turn it on/off at will you wouldn't have stuff like Rio Raincoat, Bridge School, Golden Gods, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded a little cleaner than I remember. Glad Axl finished the show good though. I think they had to restart PC in the last show also. Something happened at the beginning.
