Gordon Comstock Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 People have been bitching for 5 years that he should go back to his 2009-early '10 look, and now that he has people complain about it He sounds awesome at this gig though. Definitely getting over whatever threw him off in Prague. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it the other day and it completely changed my opinion of that show. The Prague show, so far, is the one where Axl got LOOSE. He went all-crazy for Back in Black No holding back No control Rock n roll, just like he used to do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud10 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) FTATR was a little rough. Voice was cracking, but it's the last song so it's to be expected. But the rest of this show seems to be stellar from what I've seen on YouTube. Edited June 2, 2016 by KiernanProud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the audio on a lot of these fan shot camera phones when the music is so loud becomes distorted. this sounds and looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 1 hour ago, IncitingChaos said: back in black That is the Axl Rose that I grew up with. The Axl Rose that burst into the music scene and kicked its ass for a couple of years. If this is how Axl would have handled the last 20 years, then he would be the unquestionable best hard rock singer of all time. Axl spent 14 years and 14 million dollars trying to create a masterpiece. He wanted the next round of Nov Rain and Estranged type songs. But if he would have put out 4-5 albums full of songs like Back in Black, Nightrain, You Could Be Mine and Rocketqueen - and he sang those songs like he is doing on this ACDC tour - there is no doubt in my mind that the general conversation wouldn't be who was the GOAT of all time for hard rock. But he question would be "After Axl, who is the second best of all time?" At this point, I would rather go see an Axl-ACDC show than this reunion tour. Partially because I've already seen Guns several times. But mainly because Axl is performing as good as he ever has in his entire career. Maybe it's because it's a new batch of songs for him (it's got to get old singing SCOM for the 700th time). Maybe he is fulfilling a childhood fantasy. Or maybe the songs just fall into his vocal wheel range. But unless GnR starts playing 4-5 new songs on their tour, I would rather pay to go see Axl flat out kicking ass with ACDC.

IncitingChaos Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Hells Bells voice cracked twice at the beginning then he settled in and stopped chasing those really high notes but kept it powerful! Great job at adjusting, this song was testing his voice Edited June 2, 2016 by IncitingChaos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightrain86 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 That back in black was awesome, the way he owned the stage and walked with confidence, in front of all those people. I wonder if it takes him back to the illusion days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philipm787 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Not sure about this whole bloated thing. I noticed even from the very first gnr show that he's still packing some pounds around his stomach. As is Slash. But who gives a fuck? Clearly not affecting his performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponsnflowers Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Have to go to work, but these clips look great! Because Axl looks great! Finally he ditched those hats and other dressings. I need to get a flannel shirt like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been way hotter 25 years ago though, admittedly. Seriously though, it's good so see Axl so confident and happy on stage. And he sounds great too! What we're doing here is complaining on a high level. I just remembered the past couple years... the singing... the horrible moustache... Things are better now than they've been in a long time.

The Archer Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Unfortunately, I couldn't catch the show in real time today. Just finished catching up on all the videos, comments and pics right now. But, judging from the videos - Axl sounds great for the most part. Dirty Deeds and TNT have really grown on me. Axl's confident swagger up and down the ramp while all those thousands and thousands of red devil horns were flashing in that sea of AC/DC fans all shouting back at him with their fists in the air - that's something he's probably never imagined. Axl still channels Bon much better on something like Highway to Hell. He was fantastic on Thunderstruck and Black in Black. There were moments when he was bringing out some of the tricks from his toolbox as a top of the line frontman. His joke before BIB started on Olle Fabeck's (as others have pointed out - that guys videos are awesome and he is the @SONOFABITCH of ac/dc videos) video, was hilarious - 'here's another song that I have no fucking part of writing at all' hahaha Chris slade was laughing too. But then Axl launches into the song and he was just superb - his upward thrust of his hand to the sky when he sings "i've been looking at the sky 'cause it's getting me high' was cool and the way he struts around all through the song with THOSE vocals, were just amazing. The way he talks to the crowd too has been great - it has to be a big part of why he's winning AC/DC fans over. I thought that Shoot to Thrill, FTATR and Hells bells were great but just a notch down from the level we are used to (and those are tough songs to sing). is it just me or is Given the dog a bone one of the best songs of the Axl/DC pairing? Also, it has to be said - it's a miracle that Angus' knees are holding up at his age after all these years of the things he does with it on the stage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These performances, the history he's writing right now, 20 years later, seriously, is like a phoenix rising from ashes. It's amazing, I'm so proud of him.
