WhazUp Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) I am curious, I know a few people here mentioned Axl talking on stage about having some vocal issues, does anyone know what he all said regarding that? Apologies if it was stated prior, this thread has gotten lengthy and maybe I just didn't see it at a quick glance lol Edited July 3, 2022 by WhazUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carburetta Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 On the business of sleeping in the stadium , from my vantage point of being beside the stage, I was able to see what looked to be hammocks beneath it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"As you might have noticed Im having issues here (points at throat). I have to make adjustments to the way I sing the rest of the songs for tonight. Hope you dont mind. I slept last night here at the stadium to prepare for the show. These shows are very important to us and we didnt want to cancel." Or something like that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if it was stated prior, this thread has gotten lengthy and maybe I just didn't see it at a quick glance lol As transcribed by Soulmonster: Axl: "Okay, so as you can probably tell, I'm having a few issues [pointing to throat], but these shows are really important to us [?], I slept here last night to make sure...so I'll be switching the songs around a little bit vocally, I hope you don't mind. We would like to keep going". In the [?] part it sounded like something about looking it up (with a doctor?) but I'm not quite sure.

DoMw94 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Let's be honest, the sleeping in the stadium comment was most likely sarcasm – it certainly sounded like it! 😂 As if he'd actually sleep in a football stadium 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_school_gnr_fan Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Wouldn’t surprise me if Carrie Underwood ended up recording with the band on a new song, given how big a fan she is. Or perhaps Axl duetting with her on one of her songs, though I think she just released a new album. Or maybe recording something for charity that gives GN’R an opportunity to cross over into the country genre? She’s likable (and has great legs). She and Axl have a good thing going. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Don't think I saw anyone in this thread mention the comments Axl made after singing Chinese Democracy. Was something like "You know that Xi [Jinping] guy broke the deal... You fuckers should take [Hong Kong] back!... Not that I wanna get political or anything..." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just let it run in the background that You're Crazy could be imagined to just be from any of 88-93. It's incredible what a difference it makes. Lots of guys sing using their speaking voice like Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger, which is how they can keep going so long. Axl should stick with this and only occasionally reach for high notes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not out of the realm of possibility Axl would sleep in the stadium for one night. Edited July 3, 2022 by OTHAFA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseYourDemocracyIII Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Axl sounded good using his lower voice. Absolutely keep it, it sounds strong and most of all healthy. Healthy is better than forced damage. It's not 1992 anymore, and it doesn't have to be. "Times change, and so must I . . . but that's okay, you've got to keep moving, just so long as you remember all the people that you used to be." ~The 11th Doctor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
