Kill_YourIdols Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 1 hour ago, Rovim said: He'll warm up as the tour progresses. This is a nice position to start from vocally. Just needs to gain momentum, but too early to tell. Got potential, the range is there, needs more power. My gut feeling is that it's not even close to what he'll sound like on the best show of the tour. We don't even know how he sounds during a warm up show. Premature thread. I agree, still too early to tell and very few footage but I think it's a solid start, I really hope he can reach this level as the tour goes on: IMO this is the best his voice has been since the 90s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash is just too good and Axl will need work harder on the rasp, if he can. two different instruments from my opinion, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The push and pull between the lead vocal and lead guitar formed a pivotal part of the original GNR sound. Estranged, Sweet Child, Jungle etc. the list is endless.

SoNobodyToldYaBaby Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I still dont understand how 2010 was such an anomaly.. Even in 2009 osaka show there was a lot of mickey and songs like prostitute sounded pretty horrid in all honesty. Then in 2010 he was an absolute beast. Then by rock in rio 2011 hes never sounded worse or looked as miserable. So i dont buy the age think as an excuse at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar players need to constantly practice, as do vocalists. There are many cases of guitar players (Keith Richards) who have stopped playing for months/a few years and have had to engage in intensive practicing or take lessons in order to regain their past abilities.

maynard Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 2014-like it seems, which is a shame. He's also looking fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I didn't think he sounded any better than his last shows watching the videos.. He sounded pretty good on Jungle. May have been helped by everyone in the building singing with him but sounded good enough regardless. He always sounds good on It's So Easy and he sounded like crap on Paradise City..

James Bond Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So far he's "Vegas 2014" from the clips we've seen but with the most passion and giving a shit he's shown in years. That gives me hope for the tour. Sometimes his sheer passion and energy can make up for vocal shortcomings, so even if Mickey shows up by the end of Paradise City then it won't be as big of a deal. He needs to bring it big time, and the clips so far show that the fire is underneath him at least so I think he will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 But was his 2010 voice like that immediately from the start of that tour? Wasn't it pretty lackluster in 2009? So the idea of progression from this point isn't out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Axl's voice gets better as the tour goes on. When he takes a break he struggles. So it's great he's started off on the right foot. I'm going to see him on Friday and then again in August, I expect he will be better in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whedrick Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 13 hours ago, Slosh13 said: One thing is for sure, Axl was so happy that Slash was around on stage. I think that enthusiasm will help with any issues he is having with his voice. The guy is in his 50s, give him a break and enjoy the shows. I'm just glad Axl and Slash are back on stage together. Whooo hooooo. This*1000. People age. It happens. Be glad they are giving us one last run here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRadio Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 15 hours ago, Changes said: You're pulling out his best live vocal performance ever recorded. He didn't sound like that in the 90's at all. Listen to you're crazy from Argentina 93, Axl sounds like a strangled cat. Unfortunately that was more common that that deep rasp in the 90's Got that right, right there. I know the Sailing gets love around here, but I think it's the best singing he's done post 94 (Sympathy). As far as his voice right now...who honestly knows??? But I do know where my money would be placed. Ironic that I'm going to Vegas to listen to exactly what I think I'll be hearing from Axl - 2011 voice - but fired up, which is cool I guess.

Still not the same thing. A voice is not as reliable as a guitar. Many things affect it and in turn the singer that don't affect guitar players. You can't really compare the two. Especially when you consider how tough it is to sing Guns tunes. Edited April 6, 2016 by Rovim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
