Popular Post sl4yer Posted June 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2022 Discussions about phone recordings not being accurate are getting ridiculous When I saw them live recently I thought he was singing awesome. He doesn’t sound that awesome on my recordings. So yes, of course he sounds better live. That’s 100% true. But phone recordings are (usually) very accurate. There are multiple reasons why he sounds better in person 1. Everything is way more loud and powerful live, so you won’t hear nor pay attention to his weaker spots 2. You are excited that you’re seeing Guns N’ Roses, you don’t analyze his vocals 3. If you’re the real fan you’re constantly singing along, so that also takes some of your focus. But on the slower and softer songs like NR I could still hear that his voice sounds weak and weird, even live. Anyway, these are the reasons he sounds better live, Axl doesn’t have a magical voice that can’t be accurately captuered on the video. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to the Back In Black album, I believe he said something along the lines of: “Sing it wrong then you won’t be singing again…” I think it’s purely to show he can still get up there to sing it in light of many of his peers unable to pull off their own hits. Regardless of what people think about Axl’s voice, he is obviously proud of being able to pull off 3 hour shows in the way he does going by his reaction to Eddie Trunk’s compliments after seeing them in 2011 where his voice is essentially the same now as it was then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wreckless Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I was @ the concert. Tbh: it was not good. Axl lost his voice many times (flu?). No Hard Skool, short setlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that they have shaken up the start of the show a bit.. I don't think they have played anything but CD in the number 3 slot for the last 6 years.. Then all of a sudden within the last 4 shows they threw Jungle and Slither into that spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robert39 Posted June 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2022 Give the man a fucking break he isn't 20 anymore !! If you think he is not good enough anymore, don't listen anymore, don't visit an concert or GN'R forum, Don"t read the media anymore. Axl is never gonna be, wat you fucking want him to be........ thats al gone, has been....... They did a fucking great performance yesterday, and had great fun doing that. I think they had even more fun, then in 2017/18, for what i could see and feel. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcanyon Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 According setlist fm shadow of your love, your crazy, hard skool, don't cry & black hole sun were all on the written setlist but weren't played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmee239 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Seems like Axl had some problems with demanding songs like Black in Black and YCBM, it makes sense now why they skipped HS, Crazy, SOYL. Another wonderful Nightrain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Not a good sign as the tour progresses that Axl’s performances are getting weaker is it… also they just announced 2 more shows over in Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) 13 hours ago, wreckless said: short setlist. I don't think it's realistic to complain about any setlist by any artist that goes well over 2 hours being short. I get what you mean, they've played longer sets, but do keep in mind that most bands are done in 2 hours sharp. Some even sooner.

jamillos Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Yeah, god knows we can complain about many things, but I don't think the length of the setlists should be one of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lio Posted June 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2022 It was a great show for me. It was my 9th since 2017, only show on this leg though, so I al disappointed we didn't get HS. I wonder if they just forgot because of the mixing up of the set. It sounds silly, but I don't see any reason for them to skip it. So when I heard Sorry, that seemed really random in the encore. No one was waiting for that. The hits got the most response from the crowd obviously, but I was surprised to see so much response to civil war and Patience. Great songs, of course, but I don't Remember that from other shows. Axl seemed in a great mood, Slash too. He seemed more smiley than he usually is to me. He obviously still loves playing Coma a lot. After Coma, the guy behind me said it was the best Coma he's heard. I couldn't say. Axl struggled at the end, but being in the front, you don't really notice Axl's flaws. Another thing I noticed for the first time is that Axl is becoming an old man. I think it's the weightloss and of course the fact he's 60 😄 It doesn't seem that long, but it has been four years since my last show. It made me realize I'll go see any show I can go to, whether it's GNR, Slash or Duff. You never know when it's your last chance and I always have a blast. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there was pandemic, but imagine they keep playing next shows you can attend in 4-year intervals. Then the next show you'd see Axl would be 64, and the next show 68. All I can think of is to be appreciative and enjoy it while it lasts. And it really translates to all our favorite bands, not just Guns...

klakly Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Quindi da quello che ho capito, solo HS, You're Crazy e SOYL sono stati tagliati ieri sera, giusto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl S Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 13 hours ago, Gnrcane said: Funny how different things are from different people's perspectives. Half of these threads are complaints that they keep playing the same songs. But, there are people like you who want to hear some of those same songs and are disappointed if they aren't played. We want different things in the setlist because deep down we want new songs or some signs of life for a UYI box. But I'm seeing them in Glasgow too and if those things aren't happening AND they aren't pulling out other deep cuts then yeah there is stuff in the current set I want to see such as Reckless, Shadow, HS, YC because I've never seen them before and by the next time I see them they might not be in rotation anymore. If I was at that show as a hardcore fan, I'd be really upset that I didn't get to hear the new single that has been the only thing they promoted recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GNRmello77 Posted June 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2022 Alright... I can only say what a show!!! The setlist was really nice! I didn't expect Sorry in the encore for example! Axl was quite alright overall with some voice cracks here and there and moments where he was looking for the right approach. But people around me thought he was good so I guess nobody noticed! I loved Reckless life, such a special moment to witness that live for the first time! They didn't play hardskool unfortunately.... Civil War was perfect, knocking on heaven's door was good vocally. And the rest of the band really played good overall! Coma was very well received and people were happy they were playing it, coma was tight as fuck btw!!! 3 hours of still the best rock N' roll show out there I enjoyed it very much 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree in a way. And I only say that because I think that, sometimes, less is more. Especially for an aging band. However, I also acknowledge the fact that a longer setlist means you're getting more of the band/songs you love, and so that can't be a bad thing. So, I think the complaints have merit, but I can also see the other side for those that are attending the shows and loving all 58 songs, or however many songs they're playing now. Personally, I don't really have an issue with the length of the setlist. I just think the covers are a bit overkill at this point. Just slide a few more original songs in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kinda a sad thing to watch our idols getting older because we wish them to be young forever.🤧 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s looking, fitter, healthier and happier than he was on the last show I’ve been to. He’s not getting younger but he is surely taking good care of himself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong, I like him more the way is now....happy and healthy, but the guy is ageing as we all. Funny thing is that we don't see aging signs in our bodies, until someone tells us how we has changed or when we compare two photos.
