downzy Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 It's amazing how quickly they go into the next song. I remember back in 2002, save for the NYC show, it felt like an eternity between songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Meegan's streams have been a little spotty. Doesn't really matter though, I appreciate everyone streaming. The only consistent stream is the piss stream during Rocket Queen these days. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still skipping lines and unable to quite get it out. I still say he could get away with singing it entirely in his natural voice and duck the highs. Yeah that's what I've been saying too. Would sound good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Lots of pitch control issues from Axl tonight. There's moments where he can locate his pitch, especially in the lower or higher ranges. But the middle range is a mess. I'm not talking about rasp, power, or any other variables. He's just not finding the right pitch for a lot of mid-range vocals.

I do agree being there makes his challenges less noticeable. But there were a couple of moments tonight watching on Facebook where I literally laughed out loud. At least he's trying, having a good time, and, by all accounts, people there are having a great time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 No fireworks, no confetti... Just doesn't feel right after two decades of lighting litter on fire. ---------------- Loving the comments on the Facebook stream after PC. "That isn't it!" "It's only 10:45!" "They haven't played Don't Cry yet!" Band comes back to take a bow. "Told you they weren't done." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it adding that much to touring costs. Perhaps the janitors union demanded the end of confetti. Maybe they felt the gimmick had gotten old.

I know they had their issues that night and it wasn't Axl's best ever but damn it was still a great concert. I have no regrets about going and I'm glad you went and had a good time too man.

James Bond Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) If you check out AC/DC's Live At River Plate and listen to what Brian Johnson does with songs like Hells Bells and Thunderstruck, it's a good example of an approach Axl could take with a lot of the struggle songs. I realize AC/DC also tunes a semitone lower than the original keys with Brian, but nevertheless you can hear how he changes up the vocal melodies to duck key high notes while still maintaining consistency in his voice. He doesn't just sing everything an octave lower or anything drastic like that, but he takes key shortcuts that don't really change the overall feel of the vocals but are clearly a lot easier on his voice. I so wish Axl would do that. Sing certainly lines a fifth lower or something and harmonize with Melissa if there's a key high melody.

Popular Post GoBucky Posted August 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2021 My wife has seen them 20 times and our 14 year old daughter has seen them 11 and they both said that show was top 3 on their list of shows. It was my 31st since the two Alpine shows in '91 and it's certainly up there. I actually enjoyed the lack of pyro/ stage show. That show was so much fun! 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 What was the technical problem during WTTJ? Did Axl say anything about it? I live for that shit these days, I love it when something goes wrong lol, it's interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
