Yeah, I don't see how that is any better than what I heard in LA.Alihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e8O73_rD5YYou must be trolling. He sounds way better in Russia. In LA he doesn't even try to hit those high notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The amount of denial about his terrible voice is incredible. Until when you fuckin' idiots are going to put up with this shit? Axl's voice suck, period. You fuckin' bunch of deaf retards.You can say certain songs or parts of songs were not that good, but this post is ludicrous. If you really think that every moment of the show last night was "terrible", you are the one who needs to proceed from directly reading this thread, to a phone, and call your doctor to schedule an appointment to have your ears cleaned out. In addition to the wax, see if he can clean some of the douche out of there too.The fuck is you, in case it wasn't clear.Uhm..... fuck you?

I fail to see what is so difficult about that to understand.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Just admit that you are you trolling me, Ali. I find it impossible to believe you prefer that Axl not use his high screaming voice before the solo in Don't Cry.

ITW 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I don't mind Ali. The different characters and points of view are what keeps this place going. It's certainly not New GNR's prolific output of music that keeps us coming back here. I just find it hilarious that Ali always defends against any criticism of Axl and/or this band.

Nick83 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 After watching the show, and can't really understand the level of criticism. The mix was AWFUL, but Axl's voice was good.

Axl goes from good/great to awful in a second and the band is on fire. band-wise it was an awesome show, but vocal wise it was average at best. Setlist wise also average so Im calling it a B- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I bet it sounds better in the crowd when you have the sound of the band blasting. I hate the sound quality of stream and pro shots, i'd rather hear it from a camera phone. Somehow his really bad moments are forgiveable to the sound of the guitars and drums.

rudolf1978 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 When people say that he is old,in 2010 he was 1 year younger was great,and unless he is Bilbo Baggins,and the ring was taken away from him,the age factor is not the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2x4 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 For 50 he is still doing pretty fucking good. I still think the best he has ever sounded was during the 06/07 tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanfan20 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The day Axl realizes he's better off singing songs that don't require him to sing at pitches a lot of women can't hit, he'll become a good singer again. I think a lot of people are are in love with Axl's current voice simply because they love HIM (Rightfully so) but come on. There aren't that many good singers out there that can't do much better than Axl, at least when it comes to singing high pitched. This isn't a knock on Axl. He used to be f'ing amazing at it. His vocal cords can't handle that anymore though. Everyone heard it changing even before the UYI tour. How could his vocal cords not get messed up with how he screamed? That's not natural! Nobody can't sustain that level of performance for long. If he keeps singing songs with nothing but these high pitched tones like Nightrain (One of my favs for the record) then we are going to be begging for him to sound even how he sings now, which isn't great besides his low pitched tunes (Which sounds amazing still)Axl is going to have to adjust or else his singing days will be done.

Guns n' Swedes Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm watching the stream now. Chinese, Jungle LALD, and this I love sounds good! And I don't he always sound good. In some pieces it does seem like he some kind of voice issue, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Axl handled just fine the voice/rasp in 06/07 & 09/10 - so no obvious reason to why he can't sustain that anymore all the sudden... And you gotta remind that rasp was always something "natural" to Axl's voice - it's just there and he didn't look like he was in pain when he sang like this in 2010: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the Chicago show, the stuff I just saw was better than the Forum and Vegas stream shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
