Fuck knows what slash must be thinking when he hears mickey in his inear monitors. I give Axls vocals another 5 years tops. 5 hours ago, El Guapo said: Axl himself and everybody else in the Guns camp should have realised a long time ago that Axl DOES sound like Mickey most of the time, I don't think these comments should suprise them at all. If that was a problem they should have a) picked better videos where Axl does not sound like that or b) scraped the idea before the first "selects" happened. Im sure axl knows and if he has no rasp and his chords cannot be saved, then adjust the setlist to cater for his voice. He wont do that and still expects to sing Coma and YCBM.

I'd guess he's happy with what he hears on stage and just uses his IEM to hear himself a bit clearer, whereas Duff's IEM has Axl and Frank almost as loud as himself. (There's about 90 mins of Slash's IEM recording from the Osaka 2017 show, and 20-25 mins from Duff's IEM) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MaskingApathy 2,389 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I would love to hear an IEM from a SMKC show. I bet that would sound awesome. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamGirl 490 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I wondered how Slash felt about Axl's voice, he doesnt listen to it. What I dont understand is Axl himself and how he feels abouut it, surely he must know how bad he can sound or maybe he just doesnt care anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what a band does. Everyone has their opinions on the music of Myles Kennedy and Slash. For Guns N 'Roses, 2016 to 2017 would have been enough to celebrate their return. L.A. Dodger Stadium 2016 both nights would be enough material to make a Blu Ray / DVD, in fact they were recorded more than usual. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NITL should have taken two years to promote the reunion, especially when nothing new was included and the world had already been toured by the end of 2017. 2018 and on should have been solely used for work on the new record. And I believe they did create something new during 2018-19, but probably way less than they could have. Edited July 21, 2020 by jamillos Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be that bothered if he went again tbh, he seemed off his A game in 2018/19, some sloppy solo's and sounding not as good, maybe he's bored.. Nobody knows Easy one for Axl, IF slash walks & nobody knows a thing about it... Finck or Bucket return? Or give fortus the lead and call Gilby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its easy money playing with Guns so why would he go? Guns carried on before and would if it happened again Slash leaving would probably mean the end of GNR, because the casuals wouldn't buy tickets if they knew he was gone - and the only option for Axl would be getting back to Up Close and Personal stuff and the likes. Even if he hired someone like Zakk Wylde, they'd never get the numbers again, not to mention that Slash is essential for the sound and spirit of a real GNR record. So unless we're talking about getting back to ChinDem era and releasing CD II / leftovers, there's no way Guns could continue - at least not on this scale - without the top hat man, especially with Axl's worsening form... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
allwaystired 2,851 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) If Slash was to go, that would be the end of the band, without a doubt. They struggled hugely before in terms of sales, with many tickets for the later tours being given away free. The only attraction for a lot of people then was that it WAS GNR (i.e. it was that or nothing). Now every casual fan that is even remotely interested has seen them with Slash, there's not a chance in hell they'd pay again. They're not really paying again WITH Slash (they've ticked that box and moved on now), so without him the band wouldn't be a viable commercial concern anymore I don't think. There would be no selling point whatsoever. EDIT: Not that I can see him going at any point anyway. There would be no reason to leave, other than boredom, but I'mm sure the money coming in outweighs the boredom. Edited July 21, 2020 by allwaystired 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That. And I doubt that Axl has the passion, for lack of better word, to build it up again and carrying it on with him and his worsening voice being the only focal point of the show. If Slash leaves, Axl will pack it in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GNR_RNR 337 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I think Slash leaving again would be hugely damaging to GNR as a brand. It'd set GNR back to a worse footing than 2014 but I think Axl would keep chugging along even if only for financial reasons. Personally think it'd be better for Axl to go solo, but I think even a nu-nu-nu GNR would be able to play theatres/arenas. However I massively doubt Slash would consider leaving. The guys seem happy playing together. Slash and Duff have other projects to put music out on and Axl has put GNR back into the big leagues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's all hypothetical but, If he left again, Duff is still around.. Axl would still fill arena's definitely in Europe, no idea about the U.S having only been to one there, Slash & Myles wouldn't fill the arena's that Guns minus slash would... Lets hope he stays, absolutely nothing suggests he's off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
