Michael Jackson had been dead for years when he had holographic Concerts 😱 The concept was creepy and disturbing 😱 To quote Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, "I don't like the look of it " 😱 Quote

Voodoochild Posted November 29 Posted November 29 Axl always used compression and reverb for some songs, even when he was singing really good (My Michelle at the Download Festival 2006, for example). But that alone isn't altering his timbre. It's just that his singing style needs a compensation for the lower volume approach to sing high notes - this isn't only for Axl, it's a singing technique to not force your vocal cords to push for the higher notes. But using AI is a different thing altogether. It's in fact altering the fundamental characteristics of his current voice, and it's not naturally enhancing what he's actually doing. It's not that different than lipsync or using autotune, IMO. Feels like cheating. Quote

Like he still can hit most of the notes but his voice has lost power and rasp. I don’t know much about music. But I see apps that help correct your voice. I know Axl wants to be authentic, however he still be singing, just have some effects like guitars do. He used effects on omg and the general. What are your guys thoughts., ps. I wish he grow his hair longer too. lol. What you're describing is one of the very few things that would actually make Guns n' Roses worse than it is now. Quote
HollyWoodRose84 Posted November 29 Posted November 29 He will never sound the way he sounded again. The AC/DC run did him in and it’s been getting worse and worse ever since. We get what we get. Regardless of how bad he will sound they will still sell out everywhere on brand recognition alone. Quote

(See the Ronald McDonald orange handle bar mustache from 2009-2014) Natural redheads never get grey hair. It either goes pure white or it fades to that weird blonde color he’s had for years. Quote
sploit Posted November 29 Posted November 29 Axl has always sounded great at the shows I've been to. 🤘 Quote

Have Melissa and Duff higher in the mix to pad things out. An obvious example is Slither. If Duff was higher in the mix, Axl's high notes wouldn't be as jarring there, it'd be a decent harmony. Interesting you mention Slither - but I think he sings that live in a higher register intentionally - maybe to kind of make it his own. Because Scott sang that in a low register and if Axl wanted to repilcate the lower register he could easily utilise his' It's So Easy' style vocals - like a more baritone approach.

colonizedmind Posted November 30 Posted November 30 Ahhh...it's that time of the year, I mean week...again .... 1 Quote
colonizedmind Posted November 30 Posted November 30 (edited) I suppose to solve these endless discussion, the real questions are.... Do we actually think he can sound better than he has in the past 2 years with focus and work? (He could sort his breathing and windedness surely?) He's been not so good and then great other tours over the last 20 years...Are we due a good year? Do we think there's surgery that could make a difference? (A la Bon Jovi) Does he sound as good as he can, he's putting in max effort and we just have to accept diminishing returns but from a dude that's giving it 100% Or Is it somewhere across them all, neither fully one or the other? If he cares so much about prep and how he sounds, to endless tinker with a side project vocal, then who knows? However, maybe he's just happy with how he sounds - he must listen back to some live vocals...he knows how he used to sound...but perhaps, as well as being easier, he did talk In the Chinese Exchange about wanting a cleaner vocal naturally, whether enforced on him or not ..so maybe he doesn't want to rasp, by choice too...however, now enforced on him...you can kinda trace through the last 20 years of concerts, the ups and downs of rasp and its gradual removal from the show... Gotta be one of these reasons... Edited November 30 by colonizedmind 1 Quote

At live shows it is easier to enjoy the totality of the experience, and not only the music but just being there in the throng with other people and perhaps having a few beers inside and the visuals, the bass pumping you in the stomach while bumping into some people and just enjoying the live experience and being lost in the moment, than nitpick on the vocals. Sitting at home, in front of your screen with few distractions and all the time in the world makes it easier to dissect and overfocus on the vocals. 3 Quote

I'm all for that, which is why I don't film stuff, and never really watch filmed stuff from gigs. I can't say I've ever been to a GNR gig and come out thinking about Axl's vocals, one way or the other. 2 Quote

I LOVE your post! 😍🥰 It's one of the BEST posts I have ever read on MYGNR Forum! 😍🥰 I'm surprised no one gave any emotions to your post. 🤔 I THINK the Dolphin Emotion is the highest Emotion we can give on MYGNR, so I will give you the Dolphin Emotion. 😍🥰 1 1 1 Quote
Ratam Posted December 1 Posted December 1 I remember an MIA member Incitingchaos that always had Axl voice threads. Quote
chester Posted December 1 Posted December 1 It’d be a shame if Axl ever resorted to cheating with the use of AI, of course the use what they can to help him live and that’s fine, all of us who have followed the band for a length of time understand post AC/DC his voice just won’t be the same again. as for the hair, it’s some kind of hair system/extensions so he can style it however he wants.
