sl4yer Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Some weird discussions going on here. The band was a lot better and tighter and Axl wasn’t much worse than on the previous RiR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To claim that GNR sucks is ridiculous. I didn't watch the whole show, but the band sounded good. The singer, on the other hand, did not. I realize he's old and he's giving his best effort, blah blah blah. That's the fucking point - he's pushing himself as hard as he can and the results aren't worth it. Why the fuck he continues to play stuff like Better, YCBM, Hardschool, etc instead of songs he could sing comfortably is beyond me. Hardschool is a year old - that's not "new" anymore. Something like Perhaps would fit his current abilities much better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I've watched a few songs and for sure Axl is definitely giving it his all. I can't say he's giving anything less than 100%, but his voice just sounds unhealthy. His enunciation is extremely gurgled at times which makes him sound very "marble mouth" when just simply trying to get the words out. Even the songs that used to be the "good" ones (Jungle and Nightrain, for example) aren't working anymore. I don't think he's damaged his voice for good but I think he needs some serious rest and to reevaluate his approach to the material because his current sound isn't going to be sustainable. It's not even about clean vocals or rasp anymore but just the general tonality and delivery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratam Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I just watch two songs: LLD sound good, but Estranged sound painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl lost his ability to nail jungle after covid pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why waste your time signing in and offering an opinion. You are doing this all to yourself and it's all self inflicted.. Its not the bands fault you feel that way and I get the feeling no matter what the band does you aren't going to be happy anyway...

No, but if a band supposedly sucks and bores you and you think everything they do is crap (and they have died 20 years ago), why post about them all day long?? That is ridiculous too.

Are you getting paid by the band to come here and fight anyone who disagrees with what this band has turned into?

I am very easily pleased, and I have in last few months remarked when Axl sounded good or I thought a performance was solid... I comment here because I would like to be pleasantly surprised one day when something unexpected happens. There is nothing unexpected in the gnr set these days though, but I guess there must be some hope left inside me🤣 And if you don't like people sharing "negative" opinions, skip them. You can live in your gnr fantasy if you like👍 but anybody with their head screwed on can see that gnr is a bit of a shit show, whether last night's performance was good or not. New album, fresh setlist. Those are the demands. At this point I'd forego the album for a completely overhauled setlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was responding to all the "Ooh, the band sucks/is boring/is done/it's over." people. And I can actually read your signature. Also it's one thing to say you're done/bored whatever with the band, because they don't do what you like them to do, but to say they suck is ridiculous and I will always say something when someone claims that.

My signature is a tiny fraction of what I think about GNR. So you're still clueless. But don't take things personal. I just don't think the amount of rage against negative comments is necessary.

I think it's all down to mindset, sometimes I'm far more forgiving. I have only watched jungle from Rio, it wasn't great... But that had more to do with Frank's new way of playing the verse🙉 My perspective is, great if you get something out of the current product, and if you don't then so what! It's not the end of the world to fall out of love with a band. I still love the album's, I still love the old live recordings 1987-2014. There's a lot of negativity with GNR and when you're on an upswing with your gnr lovin' it is a downer to read it, but that is part and parcel of life of a gnr fan on a forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
