invisible_rose Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Well, I've just caught up on this and it's great to see that the band looks like they're back out and mean business. Axl definitely looks prepared and in better health than he has for years. Great setlist - especially for those who are more than casual fans. I can't bring myself to say Axl sounds great, but he definitely doesn't sound awful and it's a marked improvement on what we've seen. This is as good as it gets these days. Let's hope now for some new music being drip fed out like they did with Silkworms/Absurd and Hardskool, but hopefully it's more than just a couple of songs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me being the optimist or does it seem like Acl has put in some work in the off-season? To me he sounds much better. There might be some AI assistance behind the scenes. Not enough to make Axl sound like UYI era Axl, but enough to make his voice more consistent. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t dip in and out anymore. Unfortunately happens with age, wear and tear and not doing what needs to be done to preserve what’s left in the tank. He worked on it for 2006, 2010 and 2016. regardless, I’ll continue to go to as many shows as possible because once they’re gone, a major part of the history of music will be gone with them. Let’s just enjoy what we get while we still can. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the quote I’m referring to though.https://www.musicradar.com/news/slash-technique-can-become-the-main-aspiration-but-for-me-its-more-about-expressing-some-sort-of-emotional-content On the song Better, instead of trying to play like Robin Finck trying to play like you - as per the recorded version - you chose to do your own thing… “Some of the stuff I won’t do note-for-note because it doesn’t have a serious melodic significance to the song. It sounded like they were making it up...” Not the case for some of the CD songs. This I Love springs to mind. Song should be dropped from the set but you can’t say that solo doesn’t have serious melodic significance or isn’t well constructed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.. I don't think for one second he would agree to anything changing his voice live , personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their set should be focussed more on this stuff and the low range material. Doesn't have the same ferocious style of his 20s/30s but it's more than acceptable! It's the middle of both where he has the most trouble 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 10 hours ago, LlamaRenegade said: Slash literally said he didn’t think most of the solos on Chinese Democracy had any “serious melodic significance,” and then noodles the fuck out of what he chooses to play instead. I love Slash, but that’s a huge slap in the face to fans of that material and its players. Agree, and also it’s just incorrect. The solos on Chinese Democracy are very thought out and some of the best in Guns N’ Roses history. It feels like an attempt to kind of mitigate the fact that GNR still existed without him for a while. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kind of already dropped it last year, they only played it once on the South American leg and once on the Australian leg. The slow version should be a staple though...

kingcanyon Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I think for glasto all of AFD will get played with the rest of the big songs + some extras like bad obsession, pretty tied up, witicha lineman & probably the seeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Robin's solos on Better and This I Love are just him "making it up" on the spot I want to hear what it sounds like when he's actually trying 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
