saber_ Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Ok all you hardcore GnR trivia aficionados, I have a question for ye: What songs does Axl not have issues singing live? I kinda want to compile an informal list here. I'll start us off. He seems to be very consistent on Brownstone and Chinese Democracy. I'll even throw Sorry in there too, although I haven't seen as many vids of that as I have of the other two I mentioned. Ok yer turn...

James Bond Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Mr. Brownstone, It's So Easy, and Patience are definitely up there. He's generally pretty good on Jungle in terms of tonality but sometimes gets winded easily during it.November Rain is usually pretty good too. Even the O2 performance of it isn't all that bad.

Tyler Drama Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Patience he has a lot of trouble with. Listen to the second half at any 2012 concert. He can never decide between full-voice and head-voice, and always switches between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 If by "not have a hard time singing" you mean "does not sound like mickey mouse" then any song where he uses his low voice. ISE, brownstone, CD, patience, seeker, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtydane Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 If Axl had recorded all of GNR's records with the Mickey style he uses now... Would we have become fans.If axls voice was like it is now, I'm not sure how big they would have gotten. The unique voice had a lot to do with how big they got for sure. If he was singing like Mickey in the 80s, haha, I don't think so lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can never decide between full-voice and head-voice, and always switches between them.First half is always fine though, so at least that's the vast majority of the song. The second half is in that middle register he always seems to struggle with. Same with Sweet Child, although I don't think he's ever been particularly good at Sweet Child live.

PirateRadio Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) The only complete song that I can seriously say sounds good live is It's So Easy. Axl rises up and screams, "It's so easy!!" on the outro. TIL can be considered depending on your standards.Other songs have their moments... The end of Nightrain comes to mind. Other than that, I really can't vouch for much else.I'm interested that some say The Seeker. I bet that song would have sounded so much better in 2010. Edited March 26, 2013 by Time to DIE!!!

Apollo Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Ok all you hardcore GnR trivia aficionados, I have a question for ye: What songs does Axl not have issues singing live? I kinda want to compile an informal list here. I'll start us off. He seems to be very consistent on Brownstone and Chinese Democracy. I'll even throw Sorry in there too, although I haven't seen as many vids of that as I have of the other two I mentioned. Ok yer turn...Surprisingly, I think he sounds the best live on some of the faster paced songs.Just at the last show I attended, the highlights were:Shacklers --- live, imo, it's a game changer.Riff Raff -- pretty electric live. I'm not a fan of alllllll the covers, but Axl nails this. Brought a lot of electricty to the showCivil War - outstandingNightrain - still might be the most underrated GnR song of all timeAnd like somebody else posted.I'd love to see the band retire Heaven's Door and LALD.Boring as hell live.
