sebagn'r Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 1-85/93 *1993 2-01/07 *2007 3-09/19 *2010 I think those 3 years have the best Axl vocal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The 2006/07 was pretty exciting. The band and Axl were on fire, and the new songs were an awesome preview of things to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_ Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 If it wasnt for Bumblefoot and Frank the 06 lineup would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Classic GNR in 2006 would have been so potent and musically relevant... Slash was still smoking, Axl still showed skin. Could have skipped Libertad and CD and just went for UYIII.... ahhh but whatever! 91, 2006, 2016! Edited October 20, 2019 by Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlvai Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 91-2006-2010 The Axl factor is the main thing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Bumblefoot was one of the best things about '06-'10 (even onward to 2014). His playing was dynamic, exciting, fun, faithful to the spirit of the band and he went above and beyond (in spite of the limitations Axl's inflexibility placed on him) to play what the fans wanted to hear and advance things creatively. I don't really know what logic marks him out as the weak link in the band. Edited October 20, 2019 by Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he played the way he did from '09-'14 on THAT tour, holy fuck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MildlyArtistic Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Axl's voice sounded absolutely incredible (and I daresay better than 2006) at its highest points in 2010. Nothing we've had since 2010 has been quite at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLotus1111 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 2002. Axl MacDaddy Rose looked cool and we had Buckethead and Robin Finck. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Fan Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) 91 and 93 because of the rants, izzy doing dust n bones and 14 years before he left, and there was no real setlist. The band just did whatever songs on stage.

The '91 shows are so different from '92... I wish we had an official release for each year of UYI. Take my fucking money it's right here!

UsedYourIllusion Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 ‘91 was definitely the most volatile of the UYI tour, but when it was going, it was really going; although you could say that about ALL of this bands history 😂 it’s peaks musically are ridiculous, especially live. I honestly love all the eras except for ‘11-‘14 really. ‘91 ’93 ’87 ’10 ’16 ’06 if I had to choose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangoSkank Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 '06 is my favorite live era for Axl. He was in killer shape, sounded great, and had something to prove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I think I was distracted by how cool Axl/DC was during 2016.... I tuned out on NITL after the initial "throne" shows which were pretty lackluster and then didn't tune in again until late 2017 when Axl's voice wasn't as strong... didn't realize some of those 2016 GNR shows were pretty damn solid, lineup gripes aside... "all things considered." Edited October 21, 2019 by Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waemoth Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think late 1987, summer of 1988 and June - August 1991 is where the band was at its best. There are just so many amazing shows, Hammersmith Odeon, Chicago and Madison from 1987. Felt Forum, Seattle and Shoreline from 1988, Philadelphia, Shoreline, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Wembley from 1991. I fail to see how the band ever sounded more powerful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
