He was at a GN'R show in 2017 or 2018. The work Axl has been doing with the vocal coach is not about how to sing the songs in regards to vocal style, like whether he uses his high or low voice etc., but about techniques and exercises (like the warm-ups work-downs) so that he doesn't completely blow his voice. There was a couple of great posts by @Pedrolg a while ago, which are the best take and the most plausible explanation I've read on Axl's voice: https://www.mygnrforum.com/topic/224239-whats-your-theory/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-4866624 It's not a matter of laziness or not caring - yes, Axl probably doesn't rehearse the whole show although he should, however it seems that he rehearses more now compared to the past - but, likely, a matter of pride and of being in denial about his current limitations. Maybe he just can't accept that his high voice doesn't work well anymore, especially on certain songs, and so he doesn't try a different way to sing them, like using his low voice more, which is still very powerful. Slither is an example of that, in my opinion: it should normally be fairly easy for Axl to sing, using his low voice for the whole song; yet, he went for something on the chorus that he would do when he was in his prime, and so the result was terrible.

Very good read, thanks. I know nothing about vocal techniques, but I presume it all makes sense. Wonder how that would affect his approach on a 100% new record. Sadly, I don't think we will ever find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he did wonders for that Bach record. His voice was amazing in studio and live. As good as his prime years 89-91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 13 hours ago, Rovim said: you're basically saying Axl should work harder to deliver a better live experience. Many believe Slash should work harder to deliver better solo albums. Really take the time and make the effort but this is not a top priority for Slash it seems. Just like it could be preparing for hours and days on a regular basis to deliver a stronger vocal performance is not something Axl is interested in. Those are 2 entirely different things.

I just don't expect Axl to operate differently than someone who does what he wants and I can understand the logic in doing things the way you prefer to do them if that option is available to you.

And he did wonders for that Bach record. His voice was amazing in studio and live. As good as his prime years 89-91 According to this article, it was Bach's coach (but Axl didn't really work with him much, from what I understand): “If anyone’s serious about singing, they should work with Don,” says rock vocalist Sebastian Bach. When Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose asked Mr. Bach how he gets his pipes ready for touring, Mr. Bach recommended Mr. Lawrence and made Mr. Rose a copy of his warm-up tape. (Both singers are known for their high-pitched screams.) A decade ago, Mr. Lawrence met Mr. Rose in a Manhattan hotel room just a few hours before a gig. After some reluctance, Mr. Rose took to Mr. Lawrence’s exercises; they’ve worked two more times since. “To this day, Axl warms up to [a tape of] me—warming up with Don,” Mr. Bach says. https://www.wsj.com/articles/meet-the-coach-for-lady-gaga-super-bowl-halftime-star-1485959205 (I doubt Axl warmed up to Bach's tape "to this day" - the article is from 2017 - as he worked with Ron Anderson then.

I'm not even fully convinced that with the mask mandate even for vaccinated people suggestions running rampant, that some of these shows will even happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyWoodRose84 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Don’t know if it’s been discussed already but there’s been a considerable drop in ticket prices for most of the venues. Just grabbed a bunch for MetLife next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Someone asked Meegan on IG yesterday if there would be new songs on this tour, to which she replied "top secret". Last month Fortus answered the same question with a "keep it a secret" emoji. So, either we're getting new songs, or these guys have embraced TB's sadism toward the fans.
