If I never hear them cover Wichita Lineman again it'll be too soon. That song is such a mood killer.

I only listed to Slither so far...Axl must be sick, he sounded incredibly nasily. He also is singing it way wrong and needs to sing the verses in the same key he sings Brownstone, CD, Easy, etc. I would totally prefer to hear them cover Fall To Pieces, but this is better than nothing. It's so weird that he just randomly decided now of all times to do this song live.

Someone I know went yesterday and got the set list from the sound guy:

So the length doesn't seem as planned.

Interesting.

This doesn’t look like a show specific setlist though but rather one they will use for the whole tour, hence all the alternates.

Apparently the show last night was so short due to the 10pm curfew. It’s just strange that they didn’t go on stage earlier then. The following shows will most likely be about an hour longer, unless Axl is indeed sick or whatever..

Nope, I don't believe there was a 10pm curfew. There is no official statement anywhere about this. The set lists with the alternates were common on past dates of the tour, so this should be pretty much be the list from yesterday. For whatever reason some songs were cut.

OMG being on the alt. setlist must mean that Slash and Duff have learned it, and rehearsed it with the band...

..Can someone please put surveillance mics in the Mates rehearsal space? :lol: 

It was soundchecked a few legs back, wasn't it? Someone had audio from the parking lot...

I was never much of an over analyzer of Rose's vocals to be honest. It isn't opera, is it? He is just some 1980s rock singer who sings worse than he did in the 1980s. He wouldn't be the first hair rocker to lose his voice. Paul Stanley lost his voice in the 1990s. Vince Neil arguably never possessed a voice in the first place with which to lose! None of these singers are opera singers - it does not really mean anything.

But then I wouldn't be somebody paying x amounts of cash to be there in the first place!

His defenders though do not even concede the poor chap a ''bad day at the office''. Even Rose is being self-deprecating enough (''I suck'') here. 

You think he was bad in the 80's too? :o

Not an opera singer but isn't it opera more like a style? Something you learn to be? (Im sorry Im not an expert, just speaking from common sense)

Axl could have been one of those, had he liked the genre. Actually, I think he has (or had) a baritone voice.

Hahaha... yeah, I also think that he had a particular bad day yesterday. Some things he did were abnormal for his normally singing like shit for GN'R (Ac/Dc is a different story)

Funny he chose to be self-deprecating instead of throwing mic away and lashing out at whoever was in charge, lol

as others have said, isn't Axl sick more than anyone you know?  and isn't duff a vitamin c specialist (paraphrasing, I'm referring most recent interview with Chris Jehrico)?  

isn't Melissa also a vocal coach?   can't they play backing tracks for the parts axl cant sing????  HOW IS HE GETTING THIS MUCH WORSE???  what does Axl Think when he goes back and watches video of the show?

I have to wonder what Slash and Duff think...... do they see a reputable future staying in GNR?  or will the more time that goes by make this band a joke?

nonetheless I'm hoping it gets better and looking forward to some new songs.  you think Slash would change it up and play Anastasia for his solo?

He said the same as the bolded when they played I Feel Good for the first time. He usually says that when they try something new.

 

did he say it was a bad experiment?

just re-read the rollingstone.com story about it and there is no mention about axl saying it could be "bad" or anything like that

according to the article axl said"If anybody will fuck up on it, it'll be me". video is here

Are you implying that he has a particular hate for the song and that he deliberately sung it like shit so they will not ask him to ever sing it again? :lol:

Well, I'd believe that if it wasn't that he sung most of the songs as shit and skipped many that are regulars on the setlist.

I don't think he will sing the song the way it was recorded. Do not expect that from him. It seems to me that Axl can't cover any grunge singer or sing any song by a grunge singer. As much as he wanted to be part of that, he just can't be. 'Black Hole Sun' was also ruined by his Mickey, he never sung it cool or "the way it is". 

It seems like Axl doesn't have anyone guiding his choices, no one telling him his approach of a song he doesn't know or hasn't played before is just bad. I don't like what he did to 'Slither', no power in his vocals, no punch, a dying cat with those awful "ey"... Didn't Duff originally sing those?

Last year we went through the same cycle: hoping the song would get better and that Axl would get better but it never happened. He kept sounding like shit until last day :shrugs:

i am saying it is a possibility

yes he sings a lot of songs like shit and maybe he is trying to send a message on those songs as well

yes, i am with you on your 3rd paragraph. I also don't think that axl will sing any song the way it was recorded and I do not expect that from him -- kudos ro him for that.

What i expect is that he sings the song properly, be it his way or the original way or whatever way. what he did to slither was completely inappropriate "musically speaking"

as you put so well, "no power in his vocals, no punch, a dying cat with those awful "ey""... that vocal sounded completely out of place, lifeless and inappropriate musically speaking

do you think he doesn't know that?

How can anyone know they are doing something bad or wrong and insist with going that path?

There's no gain from what he's doing if he's doing it on purpose.

It just doesn't make sense to me :shrugs:

I have to say I love the way he sings the chorus. His voice sucked but I love Axl imput melody-wise.

I hope he improves his singing and he will rock the shit out of this song.

My thoughts exactly, I think he needs to stop stuffing around with the verses and sing them like they're meant to be sung, but once his voice improves the chorus will sound awesome.
