AtlasShrugged Posted yesterday at 05:42 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:42 PM Strange to me that Axl always seemed to make the right decision for how to use his voice on songs but in recent years it's like he has lost the ability/confidence to do that. Think this song is almost good but as others have said there's too many effects and really he should have stuck to baritone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much time stuff takes him, this is an improvement! What do you mean an improvement? Axl only has like 4 or 5 lines in the whole song the rest repeated. Axls vocals are only like 2-3 mins of the song. it took him that long to just do those few vocals, that is instanity It should take a couple of hours tops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted yesterday at 06:14 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:14 PM Still haven't heard it, but - if he's done, he's done. I wish he would do like Steven Tyler and just retire. Nothing wrong with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted yesterday at 06:20 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:20 PM Haven't heard it yet, but I don't imagine it will be too bad. I am expecting it to be like Ozzy on 13. Not the same, and pretty processed, but unquestionably Ozzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindmelon Posted yesterday at 06:23 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:23 PM Here is a visual way of seeing the amount of vocals on the track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, this proves he is not done. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if most guys and girls on mygnr post like they did in this thread it's VERY likely that the vocals are bad. He sounds like shit since years live, studio magic can only do so much.

I don't think Axl makes his decision on whether "he is done" based on what people on mygnrforum thinks about his performance rather than what reviewers think He'd be crazy to give much thought to what people here think.

Tom-Ass Posted yesterday at 07:00 PM Share Posted yesterday at 07:00 PM Well... I was expecting the worst and to hate it, but I didn't. I actually thought Axl sounded fine and better than he did on that stupid Rock the Rock.. Now that crap was over processed and layered. I don't know this song and thought it was pretty good at first listen. The worst part for me was the piano, not Axl. Other than that, it was cool hearing Axl and Slash together on a song again and I liked it better than any of those last 4 singles released under the GnR name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted yesterday at 07:11 PM Share Posted yesterday at 07:11 PM I quite like it. Song and Axl's vocals. If you like Axl's vocals on Madagascar then you'll like his vocals on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer this vocal take vs Rock the Rock which sounds really weird 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro GNR Posted yesterday at 07:28 PM Share Posted yesterday at 07:28 PM I think this vocals relate to Axls weak performances. Yo can even notice he sings in a very los volume like when he tries to add some rasp live Maybe without touring he can sound stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiv123 Posted yesterday at 07:36 PM Share Posted yesterday at 07:36 PM Love the original song, but this was decent +. 6/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you isolate the vocals? I used audacity to make an edit of just the singing parts, "A" and "B". I didn't feel like sitting through all the boring parts just to hear Axl for a few minutes. I'm quite pleased with my little edit, but I don't know how to isolate vocals. If you've done it successfully, I wanna hear it!

Tykox Posted yesterday at 08:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:01 PM I like the Way he sounded i was expecting way worse. He's not in his prime anymore, he's an old guy nowadays😂 screaming for 40 years takes a toll. Take it for what it is I'm glad to hear a new record with the old man. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangit Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago Listened a few times today to Axl and the original version. (I'm not familiar with the song) On balance it's a good cover in my view. His voice clearly isn't what it used to be but it sounds good on this. I also think he's doing all he can with this particular song.... Respectful to the original version. Not sure what else people wanted from it? Good tune..may listen to some more UFO stuff... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
