It's quite obvious after watching the acdc shows, he is 100% capable of sounding great it just pisses a lot of us off when he resorts to the nasally falsetto in a lot gnr songs. Yea but if he sang the entire show full UYI rasp he would surely blow out his voice requiring major surgery. Ending the tour and possibly his career. Why he was able to do it with ACDC I don't know. It was only a few shows? ACDC songs are slower, less words to sing and more time to breathe who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 AC/DC doesn't have any song like SCOM or Better or November Rain. How can you compare two things that are totally opposite? And I think singing everything with rasp, stuff like BiB, Hell's Bells, Thunderstruck, all of that is fast paced, raspy to hell, how can it not be a challenge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier to sing those, due to lack of pitch changes and high notes. Certainly challenging but less so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerbos Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Well I think the thing is that Axl's voice has changed, but not so much regarding the highest notes. He still take most of the highest notes and can do it with rasp as well. But when comes to the highest notes in his mid range register, things is much harder for Axl nowadays. So in songs where he's supposed to go from the lowest mid range tones, to the highest (where he really has to struggle), yeah then it sometimes sounds bad until he reach his falsetto tones. I think that's the reason why it was relatively easy for him to sing the Brian-era songs. But harder to sing some of the Bon-era songs, even if the later has lower tones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pretty much the same thing with November Rain. so he shouldn't sound like this or this Id take those two over what he is doing now wiht his weak mickey voice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made us exchange our 400 level tickets for 300 level ones. We had no choice, as they closed off the entire upper level. It was quite a clusterfuck, as no one knew this until we got to the top level and found a massive line waiting for us to swap out the tickets. My apologies, had to move down. Seems like a good deal to me either way. And it visually looked better then having empty seats scattered in the second and third levels.

Is it that hard to understand that he is great on AC/DC songs because almost all of them are full rasp and those songs fit his voice right now? He completly lost his mid range and can't sing anyithing perfectly that isn't full rasp he is shit on NR and SCOM because he needs clean voice which he don't have anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mikeman5150 Posted June 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2016 Some of you guys are ridiculous! Axl is 54 years old. I can't think of another frontman who sings at that level at that age. I know we all don't share the same opinion, but if don't like how he sounds, why are you here? Why do some of you have to be so critical and negative. Go to a show, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed. Being there gives such a whole different vibe to everything, as it's suppose to. If you hate the way he sounds, just stay home and instead of watching streams or YouTube clips, stick to the albums. A year ago this idea of Axl and Slash on the same stage, or even GNR doing a stadium tour was totally out of the question. Now we have it! Enjoy it, it's better than anything else going on in rock. Me personally, I couldn't be happier. The show last night was amazing! 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Biggest difference is head voice vs chest voice. Axl can get more power by using his chest voice to project louder where as his head voice is lacking power and comes off as weak. ACDC is almost all chest, while GNR uses a mix depending on the song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
