Gnrcane Posted Wednesday at 04:46 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:46 PM I've wondered this for a while but just now remembered to make a thread. On the AFD of PC, especially during the intro "take me down to the paradise city...take me home," one of the vocal layers is a deep voice. Is that Axl? There seem to be 57 layers of Axl so it's certainly possible. I was just wondering if it was just his voice singing in different octaves or if it is Izzy or Duff (or Slash even).

Gibson87 Posted Wednesday at 05:17 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:17 PM I just took closer listen and it's definitely Axl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted Wednesday at 05:42 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:42 PM It's Axl indeed. He uses his low register on Nightrain too (he sings "Nightrain" with his deep voice when the lead vocal says "I'm on the Nightrain"). It actually repeats during the outro solo. But that's really hard to hear in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homefuck Posted Wednesday at 09:31 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:31 PM I've always been really impressed by this. Such an amazing display of Axl's voice range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted Wednesday at 09:53 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:53 PM Yeah of course it’s him - in fact that’s exactly how he used to sing it on the early live versions. Listen to the version at Music Machine 1986 (37.50 mins on the full video) and you will hear him singing the intro in this low register Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted Wednesday at 10:26 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:26 PM Same thing with “deep down inside…” on You Ain’t the First. Axl can go low as shit. I’m pretty sure he sung bass in the church choir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure he sung bass in the church choir. I had assumed that line from You Ain't The First was his lowest note. But apparently there's a vocal track on TWAT that is even lower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
