GNRmello77 Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM (edited) I don't really like the song by itself that much, but the vocals kind of sound what he sounded like live last year, you can hear a weathered voice. Kind of what I expected, not what I hoped for. But who knows what he sounds like when recording after a proper downtime. Basically the same as his November rain performance from the funeral last year. Sensitive. Edited Tuesday at 10:26 PM by GNRmello77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, I think he sounds fine for what it is. It's just excessively processed for seemingly no reason, and it's not exactly done in a way that enhances the vocals at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madagascar was clearly an older more worn out voice. Like a grandpa singing it and again, it was one of the most anticipated songs on the album for me. Had it been as crisp as NR, it really would have elevated the song. ... so a more authentic gravelly, worn out voice. The rasp is what makes Madagascar.

Sweersa Posted Tuesday at 11:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:09 PM Just listened to the full track. I think Axl sounds good, but the processing on his vocals really kills it for me. I don’t get why this and the NITL singles get beat up so bad in production. CD was overproduced, but at least it’s super crisp and you can hear so much with those songs. These modern mixes are just awful. They all sounds like roughly mixed demos, ironically. The effect on Axl’s vocals on the 1999 Oh My God release are nothing compared to these newer songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparatively, I thought NR from the funeral was pretty bad…I mean, the emotion he sang with was good, but it was very thin. This sounds strong to me. But, to each their own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard the new song yet, but if Axl were reduced to Mickey voice from here on out, I'd rather he use the OMG distortion effect than let his Mickey flag fly. I think CD had great production. For something with so many layers, they managed to keep all of them remarkably separate, audible and not feeling crowded. 6 minutes ago, JAxlMorrison said: Comparatively, I thought NR from the funeral was pretty bad…I mean, the emotion he sang with was good, but it was very thin.

I think it worked there because it was a more gentle and somber take on it, with just the piano and vocals, and given the occasion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy’s bass got cucked by Pitman’s sub-bass, but aside from that, yeah the mix on that album is very good.

evilfacelessturtle Posted yesterday at 12:19 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:19 AM Download finally finished! It's hard to tell what is an effect and what isn't. The rasp sounds pretty artificial, but that could be the result of an effect on top of it. Definitely some pitch correction in there. The weird thing is that the rasp sounds very different from one part to another, which makes me lean towards it being artificial. Maybe Axl was listening in here when I said he should just use some kind of rasp effect if he can't do it anymore. Just stick with one type of rasp effect though, lol.

bumcheecksmcghee Posted yesterday at 12:55 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:55 AM I like it. Instrumental wise an vocals. Low rasp an clean. Still a little hint of mickey though on the "love to love to love you" part. But good to hear Axl in the studio again, gives hope for what that voice with the locker leaks would still sound cool. Anyone know if another guitar player did the solo by the end of the track? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, thought he sounded better in the second chorus than that first few vocal lines. It definitely got better though. Cool song, never heard it before, will try out the original now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Arnuld Posted yesterday at 01:04 AM Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 01:04 AM It sounded exactly how I expected it to sound. He’s still great in the studio. I enjoyed this song and it just makes me want to hear new Guns N Roses songs. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted yesterday at 01:34 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:34 AM He’a just using (a lot of) reverb and compression. It’s not filtering, or any kind of altering (like modulation or pitching) effect. It really isn’t processed. Hell, there were people saying it was AI generated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted yesterday at 01:55 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:55 AM If Axl needed more time to mix his vocals on this, just imagine how robotic he must sound on Children Of The Revolution by now... Seriously though, he could still do a nice covers record in the studio - Wichita Lineman needs to happen eventually. His voice on LTL is sort of a middle ground between Wichita and Madagascar (recent performances). But for the love of God don't let him anywhere near the mixing board, get Mike Clink to do another Orgy Of The Damned for GNR, give Axl one week, then ban him from the studio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think what people are calling effects is just a good bit of compression to get the volume up, and reverb. He’s singing softer than you would think, which makes it easier to have the vocal fry. I think the ‘Mickey’ sounds good. People just have to accept that this is another era of his voice, I would love vocals like this on a new album! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted yesterday at 02:01 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:01 AM It's a colossal letdown. I know some people are trying to convince themselves that it's not, but it is. What a garbage song. Axl's voice is only in about 2:30 of the song...the rest is just pure wankery. Boring as shit to sit through. It's so ridiculous that the last "decent" known recording of one of the greatest voices in rock history is gonna turn out to be that insipid throwaway cartoon song, but there it is. At least he sounded like himself on that song. This just showcases his deflated, weak, decimated old man voice. It suddenly makes sobering sense why he never released a proper single after the reunion: he can't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadsoap Posted yesterday at 02:14 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:14 AM (edited) I really like it. I never listened to the original song, so I'll get around to that. I wish Axl's part was longer, but I can see why Schencker made this a single. Axl sounds really good. I also wish Axl was brave enough to do this under his own band name, because I think it would be more well-received than the old chidem songs we've been getting. An original song that sounds like this night actually get some radio play and reignite the excitement from fans Edited yesterday at 02:20 AM by meadsoap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
