Instead he sounds like shit most of the time. So not all the time, now? Okay 10 minutes ago, Rayno said: What concerns me is an unbelievable ability of some people here to create sophisticated excuses that should pardon his shitty performances. I get it, love is blind, but still... It's ridiculous. You don't need to invent any excuses for explaining how a 60 year old man might not be able to sing very challenging vocal lines he came up with when he was in his 20s, the way he sang them in his 20s. This is how you would expect it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the "not all the time" - I am not into childish games like this. Edited June 28, 2022 by Rayno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, whether you think his overall performance is decent or not is highly subjective and influenced by expectations. But as to your prior point that "he sounds like shit", I would again reiterate that it depends on which song we are talking about, with songs being great to good to decent to poor to bad, depending on the song and state of his vocals that day. Some songs he sings consistently well, some songs he sings consistently poorly. And I don't think that needs to be excused at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSoftie Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 The funny thing is when you listen to the studio version of reckless compared to these live versions his voice sounds remarkably similar.. very impressive considering it's been 30+ years. I think his vocals are closer to his earlier cleaner years now and some people are still expecting 91-93 style vocals and are left disappointed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianGNR Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 His Reckless Life approach it’s not Mickey at all. same to SOYL, Back in Black, etc. SCOM, YCBM, RQ are the most Mickey-ish songs on the setlist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to listen to a perfect vocal performance, then it's as simple as pushing play via listening to the original studio recorded material. The only progression from this point is to have backing track vocals that will create the perfect vocal performance you desire. That won't happen with Axl, as he is exactly like us, and we cannot go back in time to create something we once had in the past. You are simply getting the vocals that Axl can deliver at this current time not the Axl of 2 years ago or 20 years ago. Your posts still leave me unconvinced you are not a secret TB member lol Edited June 28, 2022 by WhazUp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic Beast Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Most live reviews from Hellfest wrote that Axl's vocals there were pretty weak and awful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
