He really sounds terrible, and it is worse that 2016. It's worse than the Apollo and LA shows (which I couldn't listen to start to finish either). My NITL soundboard playlist looks like this: It's So Easy - LA 2017 Mr. Brownstone - Harlem 2017 Chinese Democracy - Harlem 2017 Welcome To The Jungle - Coachella 2016 Double Talkin Jive - Harlem 2017 Attitude - Harlem 2017 Sorry - LA 2017 Wichita Lineman - LA 2017 Nightrain - Coachella 2016 I'd also add Live And Let Die, This I Love and Coma from Vegas 2016 (2nd night). Maybe Slash's guitar solo and Don't Cry from San Diego 2017 too. But yea that's a good list. Catcher > Sorry tho.

James Bond Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I just pretend that Houston 2016 is a soundboard and am much better off for it. It's available in excellent quality anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth downloading? To put it in perspective, I was at the first Vegas show and have heard people say he sounded great that night but I have never been able to listen to that whole show.

A lot of people rate the Detroit show pretty highly but in my opinion Houston is the best of the 2016 shows. It's the most consistent and even the usual weaker spots are listenable. Axl was definitely on that night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegodasilva23 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I know there is a huge lack of studio and live material officialy released by the band, but keep the faith people. I know it's very difficult doing it regarding the band, but let's have some hope. I'm saying that, because, for example, the Led Zeppelin's reunion concert happened in 2007 and it was only released as a live CD/DVD in 2012, in other words, after 5 years, but it was released. Maybe it happens with a 2016 concert of the Guns N' Roses too. I'm not here trying to defend the band, argue with somebody or something like this, but I'm trying to say it may happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Led Zeppelin DVD came out for a few reasons: - LZ did not play any other shows - no opportunity for a DVD from a later date - No other opportunity to see them live - 20 million people registered for tickets for that show (including half this forum at the time!) - There was huge buzz about the show itself that continued years later. There was massive demand for the release. You can't really say the same for a GN'R gig from 2016. I love your enthusiasm but I don't think it's a realistic comparison. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it's not much to ask for 1 DVD release out of all the shows they played since 2016. They could even select songs from different gigs rather than one full show.

He is not remotely coasting through on falsetto. He is trying SO FUCKING HARD with what he's got left. He is shredding and rasping all over the place. He is not pussying out of high notes and going for everything. Some parts sound really good and i'm surprised the top range is still there. He totally goes for the first high scream in Madagascar with rasp and it's ok, then his voice absolutely cracks when he tries the same before the solo. His voice is just fucked. But nobody can tell me he isn't giving 100% and using shitloads of rasp as much as he can, at least on those songs. I'm not saying it's a fun listen, just saying he really is doing his best. Trying your best during the show when you don't bother to rehearse or work with a vocal coach beforehand to get your voice performance-ready means jack shit. That's like Slash getting up there and being slow and sloppy but "trying his best." If he doesn't put in the practise everyday his speed is going to decline, his bends are going to to be off and he is going to suck, no matter how hard he pushes himself during the shows. And it's exactly the same with a singer. It means fuck all if you haven't prepared, and it's painfully obvious Axl doesn't put in the effort required to make his vocals better for the shows.

sc_gunner Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 MY GOD THE SLASH JAM! Whatever you think of Axl's voice, or the rest of the band. It's worth a listen to get to the Slash jam when he is introduced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedYourIllusion Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) If were taking lists down, I think This I Love from the *Nashville (accidentally list the wrong show) 2016 show is the best since 2010. Unfortunately all the clips are gone, but Axl sounded confident and under control during that performance.

Sweersa Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I listened to a handful of the songs from the 2018 Iceland soundboard. He sang CD similar to how he did live in 2002 from what I recall on those recordings of similar quality. Better than I expected overall from what I heard posted here, but still not great obviously. Something about being there in person, with the crazy volume level, the energy, etc. adds something to the overall experience. So I'm sure most those who attended the concert enjoyed it.
