I know about Ron Anderson and as we know it seems they were working much closely back in 2016. I meant like an active coach similar to '06 with Seb Bach. Anyhow, As a fan I'm happy the man is back on his feet. I take it as a positive move and have been always giving credit for anything positive by Axl and the band.

I meant like an active coach similar to '06 with Seb Bach. Anyhow, As a fan I'm happy the man is back on his feet. I take it as a positive move and have been always giving credit for anything positive by Axl and the band. He didn't really work much with Bach's vocal coach in 2006. He just used some vocal exercises from him “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. http://www.dougdaller.com/index.php?page=gaga 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Now that he's seeing a vocal coach hopefully there will be some improvement over time. It's good he's doing it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of gross but I've seen him do both at every outdoor show I've seen since 2016. Prior to COVID he just hocked loogies all over the stage. After COVID they gave him a garbage can to spit into. It is definitely not an uncommon occurrence. Edited July 7, 2022 by Gnrcane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that "now" is correct. We have seen his former vocal coach at shows. He could have his vocal coach on staff for all we know. But he is taking responsibility for it and wants quality work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pedrolg Posted July 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'm pretty convinced at this point that the whole narrative that Axl is lazy with his voice is BS. I've worked with a vocal coach in the past and posted a while ago about how Axl's body displays a full array of proper singing technique while he performs. The tongue sticking to his lower teeth, the hand clutching his chest at many points to avoid slipping into head voice, the fry technique properly employed for rasp. Then there is the range - regardless of wether we think it sounds pleasant or not, mickey is loud and high. At this point I'd say that Axl's regular voice is probably lower than Johnny Cash's. It is a feat on itself that he reaches those high notes, mickey or not. Freak of nature or not, you don't keep that sort of range into your 60's by getting out of bed and singing. Then there is the baritone. Axl still displays immense power and control with his regular lower voice, as shown in london by singing songs such as Nightrain, SCOM and reaching the notes. The note he holds at the end of Patience is awesome. Most people don't realize that a lazy approach would ruin his baritone too, he would lose power and control. The amount of both on display indicates that he is maintaning it. It's clear to me that he is doing whatever he can to keep performing. It is all we can ask for imo. 25 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His voice is stronger when he isn't as mobile imo. That said if Axl stood still for almost three hours people may feel short-changed.

Yeah strange I’ve seen a dozen or so shows since the reunion and it was only during the 2022 shows I noticed him gobbing everywhere (and into a garbage can as you say) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'd be very surprised if the plane was only being used by them. Or that any member of the band is flying around various countries on the day of a gig! They'll all be in Munich now I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of rasp needed to do that justice might be a problem right now - unless this vocal coach can do immediate wonders!

It could, but it seems like it's 100% at band's disposal, as it doesn't fly much at all besides locations of GNR gigs. Though with each time that plane takes off, it doesn't automatically mean there are any band members onboard. It could be some family members or band management. We don't know, so it seems kinda pointless to follow every move of the airplane honestly. At least I have en excuse as I'm an aviation geek, so I stalk random airplanes quite often regardless lol Edited July 7, 2022 by swirkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t sound that bad in his lower voice I think, but we’ll need to wait and see if it’s even played first! And definitely agree that it should be played more!
