Best shape he's been in for years. Instead of photospopping maybe just use a recent a picture... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderlineCrazy Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It is pretty insane to read certain things. Every crowd at every city and country around the world have left the shows immensely happy about what they had just seen, yet some people here expects the band to cancel a tour because Axl doesn't sound as good as they'd want him to. It's hysterical. Axl will never be 25 again, no matter how much shit we talk about him, but it's up to you. If you wanna have unrealistic expectations and get disappointed every week, that's your decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaninjapan Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I just met Fernando. He's on his way to the venue now and we talked about last night's show. Says the guys won't be leaving for the venue for another couple of hours. That means they wouldn't get to the venue until 6. Is he telling the truth or trying to psyche me out in the hopes I'll leave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he supposed to sing SCOM, RQ or NR with that voice? There are songs that seem to fit the voice he has nowadays way better than others. Most of the AC/DC stuff seem to fit him well as it also happens with Out Ta Get Me for example.

Everyone else is waiting outside the hotel in the shopping mall area that is attached to the hotel. Same place I met Axl on Friday. Just by accident I started chatting with someone at the hotel and managed to convince them to let me wait in the upper lobby for a 'friend who has my ticket for tonight's show' Just wondering how long I can keep this ruse up Edited January 22, 2017 by amaninjapan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is why he would say Los Angeles instead of Hollywood in 2017. I offered an opinion and others have offered theirs. Perhaps the man himself will provide some explanation.

The ONLY reason I don't want to stay is that every minute I stay here is one minute longer until I go to Kobe to try to buy the lithographs. The Kobe venue is smaller so I'm worried there's less of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR 1991 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 That has the be the worst Coma of all-time, everyone sounds great except Axl who completely misses lines, is out of breath the entire song and his pitch is all over the place. I'm fully aware that it's a difficult song to sing but he was killing it last summer. I think they should only pull out Coma when Axl is midway or late in the tour after he gets some performances under his belt, because that was embarrassing. I also listened to Better and Estranged from this show, both again very abysmal effort from Axl. I don't think he can sing the verses in Better properly anymore tbh, now I'm noticing he's cutting off lines prematurely to catch breath. Unpreparedness is really terrible. I feel sorry for the fans who see him early on tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the camera caught him better when he completely lost the song and had a sort of "Well, fuck, I give up" moment and skipped two lines to get back on track. I am more amused by it than disappointed though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axeli Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) I'm sure Axl knows how was it. Perhaps too much time in gym on a break. Band sounds good on Coma and Slash seems to be more relaxed. Axl looks a bit slimmer. Hats and flanes just doens't work for me. But the again it's Axl Rose. Take it or leave it. I just hope they get the machine warm before Portugal and Finland. That 2009-2010 voice was Powerhouse..

I nearly had stroke thinking they dropped DTJ. Sorry that was my fault. I was in and out of the house during the periscopes yesterday so was playing catch up with the setlist at some points.

TMAC20 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) How can u complain about axl? His voice sounds great live - I seen the Nashville gig and he was amazing - Stop going by streams and phones it doesn't capture anything =Slash sounds beyond amazing on streams but Live he is even more amazing with his tone - Axl sounds great - this is and always will be a jam band that was made to perform live from the beginning -GNR still are and I LOVE IT Edited January 22, 2017 by TMAC20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
