metalavenger99 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Well i'm not trying to fat shame our guy but is it me or has he gained weight again? Well it is pretty noticeable to my eyes compared to the Perhaps vid or even to the earlier shows from June Maybe that's another reason he is not sounding as good as Abu Dhabi imo Edit: I just watched WTTJ from the previous page and it gave me 2019 vibes, i hope it's because he is been on the road for a long time now and not that he is letting himself go again Edited September 16, 2023 by metalavenger99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they've listened to the mixes, realised Axl needs support in the chorus, maybe thats why it missed last show, to re-think the approach....they've boasted Melissa and especially Duff and Axl is still singing along with most of it too while doing the refrains.....best version along with early September show for me....

I started noticing about a month ago....you? 1 hour ago, Gnrcane said: I was at the same prior shows as you but I also saw them in 2021 at this venue. I would say that the 2021 show was the best I've heard Axl sound in person since the reunion. It was the last show of the tour and they weren't playing again for several months. Axl seemed to really let it rip that night and bring out the rasp on a lot of songs that he normally doesn't. The Patience outro that night was as close as I've heard to the 90's and Paradise City had the most rasp of any version I've listened to since the reunion. He wasn't at that level last night but it was definitely one of the better vocal performances of recent years. At the beginning of the show I thought the vocals were really good. As the night went on there were a few moments that he struggled a little bit. I agree on Hard Skool. On that one it just seems like he can't catch his breath. I do have to give Axl a ton of credit for continuing to deliver high energy shows over 3 hours and putting everything he has into singing and not using autotune or backing tracks to double up the vocals. I'm amazed that he can perform Coma as well as he does when he didn't even do it in his prime. I did notice that he dropped the "you in the jungle baby, you're gonna die........" from the beginning of Jungle. I don't know if that's the new standard way he does it or it was just this show. Been that way for ages now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe being on tour fucks up his diet and he is going all out on having fun , well i guess that's totally fair for his age tbh 1 minute ago, Blackstar said: I think he has sounded more or less the same the whole tour so far.

My dad just died a month ago and things are still really rough, so I can imagine how you must have felt. I'm glad you got to see TWAT live...it's one of my favorite songs and it's cool that it's remained a special "rarity" over the years. Hearing it live is like winning a GNR lottery! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were afraid of St. Louis Cancellation, we have to travel to US from my country....we had plane and concert tickets. We were 6, I almost decline to travel but we decide to go AND if the concert were cancel, well we always have fun in Fort Lauderdale. Knoxville was a sign of relief. The Warning Is awesome. Trio of mexican girls. Awesome performers. GNR came out with all cilinders. Perhaps Is incredible and Estranged...always cry with that song. Coma, Patience and Paradise City...the end. I Will never understand the people who wants a show with only 2 hours...this one was 3 hours AND 10 minutes AND I wanted more AND More. The final bow give me sadness....this Is the fourth show that I saw AND I felt a little like a goodbye...I wanted to wait if I saw Axl at the end....but my husband want to go to party in Las Olas. Hi Georgina! Did you come up to me in the restaurant and ask about my shirt? If not, forgive me 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a private jet for the international tours, but in NA they travel on bus (or at least Axl does). Regarding the Jungle intro: I haven't watched many videos of Jungle from the latest tours and I skip it when watching a stream (because it has become painful to listen to), but based on a couple I have watched, I'm under the impression that Axl hasn't done the "You're in the jungle.... you're gonna die" line at the shows of this year or at least at most of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axls Rocket Queen Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Maybe it's to do with being sick +/- the meds he was having issues with? To me he only looks bigger around the stomach area and not really anywhere else, and noticeably so in a very short space of time, which to me would suggest more bloating than actual weight gain. Not that it matters 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters Yes, the weight gain is mostly if not exclusively around that area - which has never completely gone anyway since he first got it. That's the most difficult area to lose weight on, especially after a certain age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6lake sa66ath Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The outro bit of Perhaps is still missing, which is something I think Axl could really sustain the last note out on and get a good reception from the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up a little bit and the cities they've played recently are between 6- and 12-hour drive from each other, so although in most cases it's not as much as travelling all day, it's not a couple of hours either.
