Chris_slett Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Sorry if this topic is put on the wrong place, but im looking for a video which i have seen years ago where Axl sings the verses one octave higher. My memory tells me its tokyo 2009, but looks like im wrong. Would anyone be able to put me in the right direction? Cheers✌️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 It was Tokyo 2009, but the video is probably long gone from youtube. I only have the audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WhazUp Posted September 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2023 Axl must have been really feeling confident that night, the dude took it up an entire octave than he usually does - one of the coolest Nightrain opening verses of all time for sure! Man 2009 was such an exciting time, I remember when these concerts were happening the forum was super active, the band was finally touring for CD since the album came out, Axl was sounding like this, etc. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember most people being shocked that Shackler's was one of the best live songs and Prostitute was one of the worst. Unpredictable sets, Axl in 1991 chainsaw rasp mode, and it even seemed like there was a chance of a re-release with bonus tracks, remixes and better artwork within the next year... oh well. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRmello77 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 That is vocally the coolest Nightrain ever, been listening it for 30 times in a row when I first heard it years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Hype was at 100 for those 2009 and early 2010 shows. This was peak for me excitement wise. Just started college 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he was just angry at having to tour Asia to pay Irving Azoff. Or maybe someone got his order wrong in a restaurant. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacdaniel Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I actually don't like that at all. Doesn't suit the song. Overall though his vocals were quite good back then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRS in 2009 and 10, Axl sounded like he was going to give himself a stroke during the final verse ("betcha think I'm doing this all for myself..."). In the best way possible. So much venom! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trin9498 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Perfect example of why he can’t sing anymore….he sounds good here but he’s screaming the song - this wasn’t his style in the early 90s. This is a different level of screeching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outofgascar Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 That was good. I also like the 2006 Rock am Ring version of Nightrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I thought that sounded annoying. I prefer the original tone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a different level of screeching. His vocal approach in 09/10 was seriously unhealthy indeed, same as it was in the nineties. Non-coincidentally, these eras followed his greatness in terms of performance, he went all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
