Being realistic I'd say yes. I can't see them speeding anything up he didn't want done or another band member.

W.AxlRose Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 7 hours ago, Andy14 said: So, here's my review You could see all over Prague that something was going on today. I got to the venue at half past 3 and the waiting was terrible. The weather was really hot today (maybe the hottest day this year) and there was no escape from the sun, so I was really tired even before the show. I think Axl should buy me a huge present since I was there because of him . When the intro started I had goose bumps but it took me another 2 songs to finally see Axl, I was quite close to the stage (I think 10th row) but the people went crazy and I couldn't see shit. Axl sounded great to me, yes, there was a moment when his voice broke, but jesus, he's a human, he can't sound like a machine every single show. I was happy to see him moving around the stage, he was dancing and something like duck walking, it was funny. There was even a moment when he looked like he wanted to run . He went several times on the catwalk, so I could see him properly . The crazy thing about him was his outfit, it was hot as hell and not only was he wearing hat and jacket, he also had a shirt around his waiste (I hoped to see without a hat and jacket, but that's Axl...) He really stole the show, it was due to his move on the stage, more energy. For a while it seemed to me like Axl's concert with some guys playing in the background. He seems more confident now. As you've discussed here that TNT and Dirty Deeds shouldn't be played...they were among the songs with the biggest crowd reaction. And yes, Angus and his solo. I thought that it would never end. Or not in this lifetime . He really wanted to show who's the king. Sorry Angus, still Axl. The crowd was great where I was standing. Of course, there were older people who didn't move or sing but I'm pretty sure they enjoyed the show. I can't forget...Axl looked great (even with the stupid hats ), sometimes I could see his younger self, in his gestures, moves and face as well. What a day! I'm happy to have seen it. And am sorry that you were kinda disappointed. Believe me, it wasn't bad at all. Sure, it makes a big difference watching it on YT or periscope and actually being there. Can't wait to see Axl with GNR Couldn't say it any better. I was there too. Seeing and hearing him live is a whole different story. And we we're lucky enough to see him standing all the time, his stage presence and that voice... The crowd was very mixed, lot of zombies Although I was mainly there for Axl, you could say I was more an AC/DC fan than the actual ones, screaming and singing all along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzi your illusion Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Would they have added another show in Germany if Axl didn't think his voice was holding up alright? They must have gotten him to sign off on it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSSY78 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 So after catching up on watching some videos( I couldn't wait to hear touch too much) I've come to the conclusion that paranoia is a major factor. My guess is playing in pouring down rain cold then hot gave him a cold. It's pretty clear that's what it sounds like. Cold aside he was great. Touch too much was a first and perhaps he went a little cleaner on it for now. Either way freaking out because out of 6 shows he messes up or cracks in some people's eyes is a little over the top imo Things to remember. Axl is used to later start times. The traveling and earlier times are not easy to get used to. Next we have several shows in a week. GnR in general usually has a longer break in between shows. Though not always. He played again 5 shows that everyone agrees were beyond perfect give him a break. On a side note so glad the ACDC FANS forum is finally coming around. A lot of anti Axl there for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say anti Axl it would be a bit like you waking up tomorrow & as GnR has never ever had any other front man to hear Mr xx singing GnR tracks would be very different for you & your thoughts would be mixed.

Bumblefeet Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Seems like Axl sounded great at the start of the show but couldn't keep it up till the end due to a cold or whatever. At least they got "Touch too much" out of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kelmi Posted May 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2016 My review: Had a lunch on local restaurant 11am. You could see right away when you entered the metro that there was something going on in Prague. Immediatly I spotted many people with Ac/Dc shirts, and thats one crazy thing I dont understand about rock fans that they put on Fan shirts of the band. It just looks stupid to see everyone wearing AcDc or GnR shirts at the show. Maybe its just me. But yeah, 12am I was already lining up with the fans. It was a stupid idea, because it was the hottest day of the year and there were no shadows where to hide. So now im all burned and it was suffering to wait 4 hours for the doors to open. Once I got in I was in for a suprise! The front row ticket area was HUGE and they were so strict not letting anyone enter the area without wristband. For the encore i snuck in. So I waited 4 hours for getting really far away view of the band. Thats uncool. To the show: I was really amazed how energetic Axl was. Walking around the stage and doing huge screams in the beginning was amazing. He was on it! Shoot to thrill was amazing for me. As u all see from the videos he was awesome on BiB and Thunderstruck. After these songs he singed mostly with cleaner vocals and added some rasp. I cant complain, for me it sounded awesome. I had the most fun on the last songs, starting from Let there Be Rock! I gotta say Anguses guitar solo made me appreciate him. Hes a rebel and if he wants to solo for 17minutes then he will. And I think he has put his heart and soul to this band. All in all it was great event. I was watching most of the show next to zombies but once I got closer to the stage in the end I had a great time because I was not the only one fistbumping and jumping with a smile 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I wouldn't be happy but if it was for medical reasons I certainly wouldn't be calling the new singer a drug addict junkie when he's not among other things. I'd never accept a new singer under GnR unless it was medically necessary or Axl's decision. I have always sympathized with them not to mention ACDC is my second favorite band but I don't sympathize with spreading false accusations or the way Axl has been treated at first. What happened in ACDC no matter isn't Axl's fault. Aren't many GnR fans already accepting of other singers singing instead of Axl? I'm not one of them but many have seen MYLES or another sing for Slash or even Steven fronting thir bands singing songs Axl sings. I have always supported their bands when they put new cds out.

I was also singing the songs. Who would have though it? A month ago I knew only 4 their songs and now... Yes, Axl's stage presence is great and his voice really got under my skin Btw. I've read the "official" reviews and all are very positive, everyone is surprised by Axl's great behaviour lol. Also the comments on the reviews are great, strange as it may seem but people really love Axl . Some acdc fans are seriously thinking of going to gnr show. Axl is turning many people into his fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayno Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) I was there. In a nutshell: the crowd was terrible (zombies), Axl was good (except for some moments) but I'm sure it was his worst show so far. he still sounded better than during GNR shows in 2011 and 2014 though. Touch Too Much made my day. I talked to some orthodox AC/DC fans after the gigg, all of them were positive.

That show was decided on a while back, they were just checking demand, you have to book a stadium way too far in advance for this to be a last min deal. as far as the show reviews go...Axl is fine. He could screw up the rest of the shows but nobody cares...first impressions are everything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God that was horrendous. He must have just had an off night. I take back all the different options, it seems he just couldn't get it going. It happens, we all have off nights. I'm sure he more than anyone knows it was a bad performance and I'm sure he'll make sure it doesn't happen again. Hopefully he doesn't act like UYI Axl on the Guns tour and have a multitude of vocal problems and start not showing up/cancelling etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 AC/DC tweeted that TTM was played for the first time since 1979, but diehards have been convinced for a while that the band never actually played it. So I'm not sure what to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lumikki Posted May 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2016 Okay, two things: 1) Yes, I'm pretty sure Axl does have a cold. He was blowing and wiping his nose after practically every song in Vienna. I was surprised he was singing as well as he did in Vienna and even yesterday in Prague. A couple of off moments, sure, but still pretty awesome considering he's sick. 2) Yes, he does shower and change after the show. When I met him at the hotel after the show, he was wearing a shirt (the "The End" one) and jacket that he hadn't worn on stage. And I got pretty close to him and he definitely didn't smell. As for his pants, he might just have bought a couple of those. Or they get washed every day, whatever. But he definitely didn't smell bad or sweaty! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accurate description of Rio 2011 most of all. But on a serious note, I agree. The standing should make it easier because his chest is less compressed, and he's not running around so it's not a matter of breath. Just an off night. 36 minutes ago, Powerage5 said: AC/DC tweeted that TTM was played for the first time since 1979, but diehards have been convinced for a while that the band never actually played it.

Amir Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Seeing as he doesn't have the mid-range any more, I think if Axl did the Touch Too Much intro/verses with his super low voice like on Shackler's it would sound pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
