Silent Jay Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm so glad I went to see AC/DC in Marseille last year. I had the golden ticket and I had to go experience Axl on stage at his best level vocally in years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the golden ticket and I had to go experience Axl on stage at his best level vocally in years. Seeing him with AC/DC really felt like a once in a life time thing. 2016 was a good year because I saw AC/DC in Vegas in February with Brian Johnson. Then saw Guns N' Roses in Vegas in April and then saw AXL/DC in NYC in September. For a guy who lives 2584 km (1605 miles) away from the nearest city (Vancouver) to be able to catch all three bands was pure luck. I planned the AC/DC show in Vegas but GnR in Vegas was luck because I managed to catch it in transit coming from Dallas after Wrestlemania and then the AXL/DC show in New York just happened to be announced after I had booked the trip to NYC. Long story but yeah. I got lucky in 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) I seriously regret not going to one of those Axl/DC shows. I was lucky enough to see Axl in 2010, but AC/DC was a different beast. Axl's performances this year have been lackluster to say the least, I'm still excited to see him and especially Slash and Duff play a long set in September when I see them, but honestly I'm a huge GNR fan because of Axl. And at this point, I'd infinitely rather see an Axl/DC show than a NITL show. Edited July 30, 2017 by Gordon Comstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Marseille was one of the first gig of the european tour, and everything went by very quickly, I bought mine at the last minute since many people asked for ticket refunds.

But with a black top (I don't know the name) Sounds a bit stupid but like to see the old mic again. I'm not crazy!!! I loved the old mic, the blue and yellow mic and then he also had one that was blue and yellow with a white tape at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWINGTRADER Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) As GNR fans we shouldn't really be excited about this. I take this as a spit in the face of GNR fans worldwide. Especially the ones that paid to see GNR. The guy tries his best and sings his best for other artists and other fan bases, but he takes a shit over the thing that made him a legend in the first place. And don't give me the "these songs suit him better" bullshit. Imagine someone saying that a Ferrari engine is better suited for a Lamborghini. What a joke.

Singing the 2nd half of Estranged properly is not going to kill his voice. He just doesn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm on the if he could he would train..... He knows what he has in the tank each night does what he can with it.. Some nights there is more fuel in the tank and he uses it by how he is feeling that night.. That's why certain song sounds good some times and other times not so much.. Then the songs that he pretty much nails night after night.... I have no problem with Axl's performance and effort since the reunion..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was incredible during AC/Dc but there were still no rasp "mickey" songs too.. Most of the Bon Scott songs anyway... I agree he sounded better with AC/DC but he has been at it hard. I actually think he has gotten better at a lot of other old school vocal techniques that don't even contain rasp... Like Don't Cry and Patience I dodn't even think he sounded great with the low voice parts in songs like Estranged and COMA at the beginning of the tour. It just sounded different.. Now he just sounds so much more comfortable with it and almost like he did on UYI's.. Low voice mind you.. Jack Daniels 135 proof Single Barrel rambling.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no power in his voice during a GNR set. None. It is all too weak. GNR has no balls anymore because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Melissa is a vocal coach, who knows, maybe she's got him singing like this now so he can last So was 2001(38 yrs old) when he reappeared on the scene. He sounded like shit back then. 10 years later and he "regained" his voice. You'd think that wouldn't be possible for "aging vocal chords". That to me illustrated that Axl was intentionally singing like shit for a decade, just like he is singing like shit for anyone not named Billy Joel or AC/DC this time around.
