EricA 2,395 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Anybody else missing some noise from the audience here and there? ok to be fair, there is some at SCOM, but most of the time it feels like watching a live performance without getting any concert vibe at all, but maybe it's just me, for whom it feels weird Edited June 19, 2020 by EricA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A proper mixing really makes a huge difference, sounds like a different band. Great job Team Brazil! Slash managed to ruin all the solos by playing a fast and feelingless even on YCBM's solo. The band is a horror show. The least embarrassing song was Attitude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The drum mix was poor, almost zero of the overheads, you could barely hear the ride, crashes and hats it was basically all kick and snare and they were fairly drowned out in places... eq, compression it's really not difficult to make a half decent powerful drum sound. The mix like ths last one, does not capture the power of the band live. I agree. It still has that blanket over the speakers sound, like they rolled off a bunch of high end. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KIKOZ3 14 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It is not possible that nobody in the band is realizing that everything is shit, from the rhythm of the songs, the voice of Axl, Slash playing without feeling destroying the solos for wanting to play fast. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE TRIAL OF SLASH PLAYING FAST he was never good at it! I want to see old Slash playing with feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post James Bond 5,248 Posted June 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2020 It always confuses when people come to a discussion board just to get upset that people are discussing when they have a different opinion. Critiquing doesn't necessarily mean complaining. Conversely, if you liked it, great. People are allowed to be underwhelmed by the content. If you go to work for eight hours you expect to be paid for eight hours. If the boss only pays you for five do you just accept it and be happy with what you got, or do you speak up? In other words, one can appreciate that Fernando is keeping his word while also being willing to discuss and/or critique the performance selections. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As an idea it's not bad at all, I think it would sound fantastic with his classic high-pitched raspy voice. But he doesn't have this voice anymore, so... Yeah, it sounds like that's what they were going for, but it's as you said... Maybe they should try to work out a harmony with Axl and Melissa (Axl singing lower, Melissa higher). I like her singing and wouldn't mind hearing her more prominently during shows, even though the idea probably makes some purists recoil in horror 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, when they have Caram on payroll why not use him? the guy would have this performance 100% better in about 20 minutes. I have no explanation for not using him to at least achieve a balanced... not looking for the quality of a official dvd release, but I would like something in the middle, between this and a good HQ mix. Not on the cards, but maybe if enough people bend Fernando's ear he might pull the finger and the cheque book out. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adrose 0 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 In a perfect word, they would take the audio tapes for Download, give it a proper mix so that all instruments would be clear, bring Axl's voice up and release this puppy. Would be a good capture of a festival gig. Yes, there are missteps, but heck, it's a live concert doesn't have to be perfect. Just give it a proper mix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not much rasp, but he’s getting through the words and hitting the notes. If you’re expecting different it’s time to adjust your expectations unfortunately. edit: Slither does suck though Adjust your expectations is fan speak for It's not good, but just like it any way!! We all know he can do better on SCOM... he sounds terrible, I love his voice when he chooses to use it but If this was the first time hearing these songs there's not a chance in hell I'd be a fan of this band. I'm not adjusting my expectations, I expect the musicians I pay exceptionally high ticket prices to sing to a minimum standard, and in my book that SCOM vocal is about a 4/10. I would find it hard to believe he would stand over this and say "I really like how I sound on this". I enjoyed parts, and I'm glad some of ye enjoyed most or all of it! I'm not trying to change your minds, I'm just saying what I heard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At this point they either get it sounding good one way or another (possibly rearrange it, or change the key)... they can't drop it because it's their biggest song... but fuck, if it was based on how well the perform it? I would drop the song in a second along with 90% of their major hits. The set would filled with deep cuts so we'd be over the moon! SCOM could be performed acoustically for a tour, would be something different and might make the guys excited about performing it. I guess playing a song for the 10000th time might be a bit of a drag... but watching 100000 people jump and sing to it cannot not be amazing, no matter how many times you see it!

I agree 100% with that, as well as Richard’s part during the Slide solo being audible for once and I’ve never heard that before.

He sung for ACDC like a MOFO !!! IMO AXL ROSE is the best rock vocalist/song writer/ lyricist and performer ever.No one can come even close.Far away is Freddy but Axl is unhuman. I think everybody is well aware that GNR have been touring non stop Also let's be honest, 2017-2020 his voice was shot. It was the exception when he'd come out and knock it out of the park, so don't try to frame it like "Well it was just a long tour". I totally get that there's vocal fatigue, and maybe!? they pushed it too hard in that first year doing multiple nights in a row etc. but that is not the concern of the ticket buying fan. Axl was a great singer, these days he's average on a good day! I don't enjoy saying that, but I also have no problem saying it because it's 100% accurate. We have acclimated to his new less good voice and learnt to accept it... but it's really not good a lot of times, so saying otherwise is not being a great fan, it's being a blind worshipper. last time I was blown away by Axl was a performance of Shadow of your love and another one of Out ta get me, I wish I could remember the shows! he sounded like vintage Axl... it just kills me that, he has that voice but rarely breaks it out. Freddy is the king, there are also a number of other singers that kick the shite out of Axl live. Axl is hands down my favourite studio singer, but live he is very hit and miss.

FOR ME, the best live Axl anihilates the best Freddy, the best Tyler, the best Steve Perry, etc. But they are all great. I’ve been enjoying a lot of Matt Bellamy’s live performances, the guy is a beast. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
