gnr5 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 My fellow musicians who have played live, like I have for many years. Nowadays probably most of us are using in ear monitors, the first time I saw Axl using inears was in RIO 01 and I don't think he was confortable with it, he kept messing with his monitor pack throughout the show. How did they handle monitoring in the UYI days, with Axl running around that big of stage, I see they used wedges in the front for the band, but was Axl able to hear himself in such a big area? Plus no feedback.Thoughts?

smoking guns Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 His talking voice is almost as loud as his singing. I think he uses a lot of falsetto. Watch when he stops singing and talks in the mic.
Bansidhe Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 HOB/Rio 01 would've been the first time he'd used in ears in a live environment, so probably not surprising that he was constantly fiddling about and adjusting it due to not having experience of them before.
SoundOfAGun Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 You also have fold back/stage monitors at sides of the stage. Everything you can see on stage speaker wise that is not a guitar amp will be some kind of monitor speaker. They must have had a shitload on a stage that size.
