Or was this a mid-show decision by Axl to cut it for this show because he knew his voice was fucked? I'm still unclear on that It was soundchecked before the show, so there was intention to play it. Most likely it was a mid-show decision to skip it (as well as to make the show shorter). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Slither is as much a cover as a CD song. If they are in the set, it is a welcome addition 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was this a mid-show decision by Axl to cut it for this show because he knew his voice was fucked? I'm still unclear on that It was a midshow decision. I was there, had a great sound and view. My review or recap. I saw Guns twice in 2017. So Im sitting on Duff side of stage in a very good lower bowl seat and see that now Mercedes Van arrived and after 10min Axl goes to stage singing Its so Easy. Crowd went nuts. I read here that crowd sucked. Well that is not true at all. Even the people reaching their 60s seemed to have a lot of love and applause for the band. I noticed during WTTJ that Axl is a bit rusty and for me it was OK, sounded good at the stadium. But then after Live and Let Die troubles started for Axls voice. At the end of Rocket Queen he was out of place missing beat and then he started dropping lines because his voice got shot. Vibe in stadium changed in Civil War when Axl still hadnt got ridden of the shades and his voice was cracking as hell when he was going for the higher notes. He seemed pissed at himself and he skipped many lines to prevent his voice from completely blowing out. Before Slither and Used to love her he stated that he sucks and it feels like singing under water he cannot hear himself. They talked in ear monitors and after civil war decided to cut many songs and then it was band intros and solos... axl got time to rest. Knocking on Heavens door was the highlight of the show. When Axl finally removed his shades he got a huge loving applause from the audience. He seemed teary eyed and heart broken about his vocal performance at the end of KOHD. He soldiered trough end of set. I have to say even if it was shorter set this was more tight. Enjoyed the show and everyone who I saw in metro and walking were still amazed and in good spirits.. Paradise City was strong. 6 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWINGTRADER Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 10 minutes ago, ludurigan said: Corey on the video above is singing the song properly (tone of voice, delivery, performance etc) and clearly enjoying himself while doing it Axl seemed the exact opposite. Voice, tone, delivery and performance absolutely didn't fit the song. And he didn't seem to be enjoying himself. At all What a difference. GNR should just have a guest singer sing the song, while Axl goes into his tent and reloads with oxygen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haters Gonna Hate Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 This I Love was interesting vocally if any of you people didn't hear it he sings the second chorus in like a deep voice it was weird. Not a good weird though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I can't really fault the guy here despite the less than stellar performance. Axl gets major kudos for singing Slither and trying his best to soldier on despite his vocal issues. Looks like he showed some heart at this gig which is a rarity for the redhead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the first full show they haven’t played that song at since 1993. Something had to have seriously happened to make the band drop it. I’m guessing Axl is starting to accept his voice isn’t what it used to be. Whatever the reason, I think it's a good call. There's plenty that he can sing the fuck out of like Bad Obsession or 14 Years which could be brought back into the set again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelinrocksnexttognr Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I know the experience watching online vs. being at the actual shows are far different. When youre there you're just caught up in the whole thing. So it doesn't matter. But you tell he wasn't 100% here. Either way, it's good to see them out there.

LA_0013 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Signing some song parts in a lower register, skipping lines, cutting the set list, no YCBM, Axl actually commenting on his voice to the crowd. Def something a miss - either technical problems or just a pretty bad off night. Hopefully the next show is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 BTW - the version of Slither was pretty bizarre. But Kudos to Axl for singing it. First, he didn’t have to. And second, he knew he was potentially setting himself up for a fall from the internet listeners, but chose to do it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is even a petition online to Livenation to give people their money back because so many people left early cause the sound was atrocious. Everyone seems to ignore that there were monitor and sound issues galore here. Go to twitter or Guns Facebook page and you will see it all there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 If he continues to play Slither, it will get better. I just don't understand the need for the 'falsetto', if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFGnR Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Review: https://www.rollingstone.de/kritik-guns-nroses-live-in-berlin-leider-geil-also-richtig-geil-1507909/ Guns N'Roses are like this today: They do not do anything new, they do not succeed in anything new. But once they did the best, at least in hard rock. And remember, they can do that pretty well. Axl Rose: the opera singer It's a wonderful nostalgia show because Guns N'Roses is more than ever a business venture. Whether Axl Rose was in the car and got an extra sausage, maybe because footpaths are so exhausting, is not known. Guns N'Roses: Axl practiced his voice As a musician, Axl Rose has the most catching up to do. Occasional croaking, broken heights, sometimes he holds the microphone in the audience so that he does not have to sing himself.

It was a bad night. i think it was worse than that axl deliberately chose to NOT sing the song the way it was recorded instead, he chose to sing it in a completely different way that absolutely did not fit the song not only that but he sounded like a zombie singing it, moved like a zombie, made it look like he didnt really want to be singing it at all it was horrible to listen and to watch, and it seemed very disrespectful if you ask me === other songs of the show? i made a point to never listen to GNR songs played by this band until this band becomes GNR again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-p-d-a Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) a professional vocalist who forgets his words or can't hit high notes at the moment, he can let the crowd sing these parts. but Axl never let the crowd participate, only KOHD and WTTJ "i wanna hear your scream" For example Jon Bon Jovi can not hit the high note on Livin On A Prayer but he knows his voice so he let the crowd sing with the help of Keayboarder David Bryan. And that's make a vocalist professional. Yes humans are getting older but you must learn your voice over and over. For me, Axl Rose is not a professional vocalist and not a live singer.. It's just a human who damage his voice Edited June 4, 2018 by t-p-d-a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
