The Sandman Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 His voice wasn't poor by any means during 01/02. It's better than most peoples. Plus, it suited most of the songs in the setlist at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackvresse Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) seriously..........WTF was wrong with his voice in 2001I dont know, but I dont think it was intentionally. His voice was crap, and I think he spent the last years to fix it (maybe surgery?) Edited November 27, 2006 by hackvresse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman24 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 can't improve perfection.I always thought the Appetite nightrain was perfection, but when I heard Buckethead's version, I had to say, the original wasn't perfection. Nightrain with Slash on Appetite is still the best song ever recorded on an album, but Buckethead still did improve it. He made this song out of this world.But maybe it's good Buckethead didn't play on Appetite. The original nightrain gave me like a million orgasms, so I don't want to know what would have happened if Buckethead would have played on Appetite. I think our minds wouldn't have been ready to understand this ingenious music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maherhar102502 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) Sure. It's easy to recreate a "full" sound when you have 4 guitarists and 2 keyboard players up on stage as opposed to 2 guitarists and 1 keyboard player. Also, when there's that much noise going on, if you make a mistake, nobody in the audience is going to notice because they can't hear individual guitarists properly.For me "less is more", especially in cases like this. Anyone can chuck a whole heap of guitarists on stage and create a "wall" of noise - it's not hard... but when it's just one (or two in this case) guitarist creating the sound, a lot more skill is required and I find it more impressive to watch.Plus you can actually hear what they're doing. There's not a single video I can find where I can make out what Izzy is doing up there in any of the songs he guests on.his voice has nothing to do with the "wall of sound hes creating with guitars" Edited November 27, 2006 by maherhar102502 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome to the Jungle Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 06 and 92 are the best out of the three but then again im just glad the guy was out there and that i got to see them on this tour.So with that being said I have to go with 06 Nightrain.

Zeppelin Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 It's impressive that Axl could regain his voice like that for '06, but the edge for me goes to '92. Both are great in their own right, and '01 shouldn't even be up there. That was awful. Nothing is redeeming to me about that performance at all. It looks more like Cirque Du Soleil than GNR.

Definitely better than Ron's wank-fest.But you can't sit there and tell me straight up, that only people that haven't heard Buckethead, or that made their minds up about him before hearing him, are the ones that don't prefer his solo. His playing does not cause instant orgasms in every single pair of ears that it reaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let And Let Live Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) Enough with the comparisons with 15 or so years ago, we should leave that crap to the press who usually do a pretty damn good job of it..if we are to compare anything lets compare now with 01-02, and lets be happy axl sounds great now.

Estranged Reality Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I enjoyed Rio, even if the Sound was slightly botched...RIR 01' is one of their best shows IMOHe sounded great on the new songs, and I liked the energy of the band. To be totally honest I enjoy watching RIR3 more than RIR5, Axl was so energetic at Rio3 despite his appearance and shoddy vocals on the older songs. He nailed The Blues, it was beautiful!

highvoltage Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 his voice has nothing to do with the "wall of sound hes creating with guitars"So? We're judging the performance as a whole, not solely on Axl's voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
