slipnslider Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 He could also sing some of the songs better if Frank wasn't playing them so fast. Especially COMA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont you want to discuss about how Picasso should paint too? Axl sounds like shit, people can claim he sounds amazing all you want but he doesn't sound good at all. Its cringe worthy most of the time. Grr fans on this board are still so delusional i see. Nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also delusional see a lot of funs saying (from their pc chair) how Axl should sing, how Slash should play, etc... Perhaps you should go on stage to replace him and show us your talent.

Which show did you go to? As awesome as the show was Friday, I didn't think he sounded that good but it didn't matter. He stepped it up big time Saturday though.

Both and I do agree his voice was much better Saturday compared to Friday. But Friday still wasn't a disaster, just better Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Axl has improved and can sing with less mickey and more rasp but I expect more from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaugerud Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Axl is really singing good at the moment. Even great. He will get better, and by the looks of it, he is currently very healthy and will drop a pound a week in the future. Hence, he will get even better and better. He has already proven that he is really into it this time. He means business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still a great show regardless. I left thinking that the show was great for so many different reasons but Axl's voice wasn't one of them. The highlight for me was seeing Slash playing all those solos he hasn't played in so long.. I was delighted when I got home and started watching the videos from Saturday's show though. No complaints there. Hopefully he can stay more consistent going forward. 32 minutes ago, tbaugerud said: he is currently very healthy and will drop a pound a week in the future.

gnfnr2k Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 what I meant when Axl should take it a few steps down, I just meant the voice he is singing in, you don't have to tune the songs down. Axl just needs to sing more in his natural voice which he sounds good in. And stop using his falsetto which is when his voice sounds bad and super thin.

I have read somewhere that Eddie Vedder has sped up PJ songs live as a technique for saving his voice. I wonder if Axl's doing the same? Don't even know if it makes sense btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrolg Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The broken foot concerns me a bit, as I've been through that and have put on quite a bit of weight. Imo Axl sounded awesome saturday, and to have him like this at the very beggining of a tour means we might get 2006 voice during the tour. The way he is singing songs like WTTJ, Nightrain, November Rain, putting the rasp o PC and on the KOHD sing along parts. Few people remember, but if you go back to the 2006 he singed YCBM and RQ with a clean voice on many of those. I reckon that, unless he gets ill for some reason, he will sound fantastic at Coachella. The thing is, from Coachella to Detroit, there is a 2 month gap, that will be partially faced by an Axl in recovery from a broken foot. Even though he has surprised me thus far, I wonder if, with the initial excitement and strong first impression out of the way, he will sustain the work ethic to keep building over his already nice improvements. Not shitting on him or anything, I'm am really thankful and happy with what he brought so far, it's just that 2011-2015 shows that those 2 months, specially with an injury, are more than enough time to derail things unless mindsets are very determined.

You can't take the singing a few steps down and keep the music in the key it is, you know? That would sound horrible for real.

You can't change the key someone sings in but keep playing the song in the same key it originally was in. I mean, have you ever tried playing a song in say E and sing in C? It's granted to sound horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So "a few steps" means an entire octave then? I guess theoretically that could work, but it would, like you're saying, sound very different.

With Axl's range he could easily do this for many songs, but the songs' character would change drastically. It would be more crooning and less wailing.
