downzy Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Let’s keep the politics out of this thread. Also, let’s keep anything from The Gateway Pundit out of this forum. Thanks 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some videos of that song performed from previous shows where it was at least somewhat passable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 You Could Be Mine is honestly really embarassing. Just cut it from the set. Should’ve been omitted since 2011. It’s a classic but Axl butchers it so horribly that it’s hard to listen to. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl's overall performance was fabulous. so many people in their own ridiculous GnR obsessively critical bubble on this forum. if this were 1992 and UYI tour recordings were being posted people would knock them. yeah - he has aged. but he is still crushing it, commanding the stage better than frontmen half his age and a very competent live vocalist. can he do things vocally he could 15 yrs ago? no ... but thats because bar was so high 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obviously not really something to be concerned with live. I enjoy myself fine in person no matter the song. When i take off my rose colored glasses at home though I can’t deny Axl sounds bad on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep..I think a good benchmark is can you imagine yourself sending a link of a performance to a friend or whoever with the idea being that they would be reasonably impressed? I think we’re away from that standard on the majority of songs they play unfortunately. I mean shit, most of the pro-shot selects they deemed worthy of release to the general public don’t qualify either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds a lot better in person than on camera videos. For 59 years old he is kicking serious ass.

Hell there's a bunch of UYI performances that are hard to listen to due to almost too much rasp and Axl looking like he's about to pass out while singing. Listening to the few 80s videos of the band that are available live, it's clear that was peak Axl vocally. The decline was there in the early 90s although he still sounded pretty good. There's a thinness to his vocals though that's noticeable. Good live singing should pass any test. There's video of loads of artists on YouTube that sound amazing despite being filmed with whatever video cameras they had in the 80s s/90s.

Blackstar Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 YCBM didn't sound good even in 2016. It was one of the weakest songs in the set, vocally. The difference is that at least the bridge was strong then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlvai Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Ycbm is one of the most difficult songs to sing. Sadly the vocals will not improve into the next years.... until something like 2006 or 2010 happens again. And idk what happened that years in the Axl cords.

mystery Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Does Axl ever use help in regards to certain songs? I don't think anyone would knock him if he used Melissa or someone to help him on background vocals or encourage the crowd to sing with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ak1nney Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Coming off of their best gig... Axl's voice was pretty worn for this one based on the youtube clips. Hopefully a few days rest helps it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
