DurhamGirl Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 As only just 'discovered' GnR I am working my way through their musical history. I noticed comment on a thread citing Axl singing Rod Stewarts' Sailing, I have just had a listen and am totally blown away and goose bumped He sounds just amazing, what are your memories, thoughts etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash23579 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 One of my favorite ever performances from Axl. Such power behind his voice there, you can really feel the emotion through the way he sings. It's so good I don't even want a studio recording of that song, just a high quality version of that live performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lame ass security Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 My memories and thoughts are very fresh because I just saw it for the first time a few weeks ago. I had seen people's comments on here but for some reason had never checked it out. I was stunned and blown away, quite possibly the best vocal performance from Axl. I even texted the link to a friend who isn't a Guns fan and I very rarely do that shit.😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Best cover they've done in my opinion. Would love to hear a soundboard of that some day if they never recorded it in the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Izzy is also playing on that cover. He joined them for Sailing, Sway (Rolling Stones), 'Back In The Fuckin UK' (Beatles), and 4 or 5 GNR songs. It'd be amazing if they released footage from that show.

One is the electric performance from Wembley stadium. The other is the even better acaustic version from a surprise club gig later that night. Both can be found on youtube I think. Both are stellar, but like I said I prefer the acoustic one. Edited May 26, 2020 by username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmythegent Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Great vocals - shame about Robin's bum notes in the solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Sailing always reminds me why I'm a fan of Axl, it's a perfect performance. I forgot about the acoustic version too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
