Looking forward to hearing the videos in a bit though, ive wanted this approach for years. I think it will just require Axl to be a bit smarter with song choice/placement and picking which songs to use the higher register. Listening to his spoken voice it did sound very fragile which suggests he has some issue going on, though he trooped through it. Civil war sounded decent enough from what I've heard.

Haha, how ridiculous of me, of course this was the evening when Axl's voice changed for good. It's not like Axl hasn't had voice problems before in his career resulting in cancelled shows and abruptly ended tours. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I just hope that the trap of hearing one show like this and going "Axl is finished his voice is gone GNR is dead" is kept to a minimum Don't get me wrong I have been hard on Axl at times the past few years however this show is so dramatically different that I at least at this point in time see no reason to believe it was just some circumstance like a cold or something like that. Let's see how the upcoming shows play out first IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: AXL/DC was by far the best Axl show I’ve ever seen - genuinely mesmerising, but Dublin was brill! Man i would have loving to See Axl/Dc so no arguements here. Glad you enjoyed Dublin too....hopefully not the last time we see them this side. F the Axl voice haters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani_1455 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I really think that this is a temporary thing, but we will see it at the next show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR_RNR Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 This must be the shortest set since Slash came back? 19 songs Really sucks no Nov Rain, But most other hits made it! These London shows have been very unlucky, however have given us an iconic show! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually sounded pretty good but, he seemed to sing them all the same as he usually does. Where there any songs in specific you were referring to?

It's not like Axl hasn't had voice problems before in his career resulting in cancelled shows and abruptly ended tours. Almost certainly, however his voice isn't going to get any better as he gets older, I wonder whether Axl will now think about changing his approach for at least some songs. It's not the end of Axls old voice, but I wouldn't wouldn't shocked if he starts to mix in lower vocals I some songs which come out weakly in his head voice these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jw224 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 I do think he only did this because he was having trouble today, but it's infinitely more appealing to listen to than than whatever he's doing with the mickey now, and I suspect if he's having trouble even doing that, that he will have to adapt sooner rather than later. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything past Estranged was sang in low voice, no mickey at all.

SAU3R Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Everything about these London shows was just weird, from the organization yesterday to the short setlist to the different vocal approach. Idk how to feel about those shows… after Dublin I was really hyped and prepared to have two great nights with long setlists and maybe some deepcuts so I’m a bit disappointed but on the other hand I’m glad that Axl powered through tonight and sounded good in his natural voice Edited July 2, 2022 by SAU3R 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO There was an entire thread on here, of people saying that he should change approach of his singing and start sing lower. Now that he did that apparently it was the worst show ever! I’ve only heard a few clips yet but it sounds kinda cool and definitely not worse than his falsetto vocals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Axl hasn't had voice problems before in his career resulting in cancelled shows and abruptly ended tours. This is it, the day when Axl Rose completely lost his high voice. Theres no return. But its ok, he sounds better this new way, the way he always should have. Well, f'n finally. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Axl has a history of meeting women that mess up his vocals. Lisa Marie in 2006, Lana Del whatever in 2010, and Carrie Underwood this year. These women are dangerous! Jk just wanted to add to the drama. The truth seems to be Axl has been in need of vocal surgery since 2017-2018, but has elected not to. No worries. But think of it like Tiger Woods playing golf now days. Sometimes you’re going to see a version that is reminiscent of his younger self and sometimes you’re going to see an injured old man fighting his way through a round. Axl is going to have good and bad days. The bad days will be more pronounced with his age. I’m looking forward to hearing some videos from tonight. See how different it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
