janrichmond Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I can't imagine anyone watching these selects and thinking 'gotta get tickets' Retire the band now, Axl can release (lol) crooning piano based music, he can't sing rock anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl can't even sing in a low voice anymore. That was trash, and I don't believe it will ever get better. I can't believe that this was worse than Rock In Rio with the damn raincoat. Fucking hell Axl. Edit: it also looks like he cut his own hair. The fruitbowl haircut made its debut in the 2019 shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vloors Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Everyone in the band just sounds bored on this latest selects. Feels like no one really wanted to be there and no one cared about the performance they gave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranich Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) I didnt want to be the one who would criticize Axl for weight. But I dont get one thing. Axl is constantly moving on stage and singin so he's burnin a lot of calories. He must be training in some way just to get through the show. How could he put on so much since 2016 geez. The guy is basically running a halfmarathone everyday while on tour and tours most of the year. Other than that. Guns show seems so stale right now. Everyone looks so F'N bored. Which I cant blame them for. Would be exactly the same after doing same set 200 F'N times At least now i have close up on fortus solo so it will be easier to learn on the guitar 😂 ** EDIT ** WHY DOES HE HAVE EYELINER ON ???

And yeah, Fortus was way too loud. And I don't like how he fills Estranged with that country licks all over the place. Wichita is the best out of them. Nightrain is also OK. Its funny how Axl sings every word in different voice in Molotov Coctail part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a personal trainer... and one that'll bust his balls if he slacks off. the aim should be to get back into the shape he was when he was 40. Outside of medical reasons, there's no reason for a man that rich not to be able to get in shape, still eat, and drink like a king and still look good... the positive effects on his voice would be a benefit for us. I don't care if Axl looks chubby or fat, I just want him to sound good. If it's get a personal trainer and look good, or get a vocal coach and sound good I know which I[d vote for. His weight definitely plays a role in his bad singing. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to have the motivation to kick the weight and get his voice in shape though, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I made my Wichita Lineman joke too soon (although I suppose it was a given), but it doesn't even matter because this was unlistenable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) I thought Axl sounded and even looked decent enough in 2016 but the difference from 06/07 to 09 and beyond is still pretty jarring I wonder if it is meds or something since 2009, who knows?

agustingloger Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I did watch it finally. I don't get how they do things really. I'm starting to think they don't watch these before releasing it there's no way they put something like this. Sounds horrible. Where's that story of Axl being perfectionist and all that crap? He's just lazy as fuck and i think doesn't care too much anymore wich it's even worse. But he called Slash and I witnessed something i wouldn't imagine! Not in this lifetime 😂 and he went and totally rocked with Acdc. This last one huge respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl's always been mental. Greedy yes man they are. Casual fans arnt logging onto reddit and asking nando about new music or come across as wanting something from the band. When axl said as part of his online chats after CD was released "dont know dont care" when someone asked about a CD followup, that shoukd be in indication that the band would rather the casual fan than the hardcore. A casual fan will want to hear some of the classic material and may buy a new gnr album out of curiosity, or stream some new music to potentially buy a ticket to a show, but have no expectations then hearing the top classic songs (jungle, pc, scom).

The 16 and 17 shows had some ups and downs but mostly good. When the band started the 18 tour in Europe the wheels started falling off then, and were never consistantly good. Especially berlin. Then we get to late 2019 with big axl, with the fruitbowl haircut that reminded me of elvis's vegas gigs before the end of his life. Hearing the LA 17 shows as the last of the shows was a long setlist, and would have been an excellent way to end the tour and work on a new record beginning 2018.

I thought the meds didnt start until before NITL was announced?. I think axl lost the motivation for releasing anything new by the time DJ came into the band when he started to look big, when the band started to be a parady compared to the 87-93 and 06 period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis1988 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 So weird how it’s obviously the in show video board footage, but anytime it’s a close up of Axl they switch to that weird long distance shot of the stage. You can see the Axl close up on the two small video boards, and then they switch to Slash or someone else, and that is the next shot the video switches to.. makes me feel bad that Axl is so insecure about how he looks.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
