Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 28, 2006, 06:59:40 PM I don't think they would neccesarily be practicing in a studio.
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: mikegiuliana on March 28, 2006, 07:01:01 PM I don't think they would neccesarily be practicing in a studio. Yeah could be a home studio,...

Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Luigi on March 28, 2006, 07:06:24 PM I know a shit load of studios, theres this one right off glenoaks thats kinda behind 7 eleven, where we useto see Ronny James Dio. I''ll look around too.
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on March 28, 2006, 07:09:08 PM There is? That's such a quiet neighborhood, I mean, I've been there and I've never noticed any studio's there, just houses.
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: -Jack- on March 28, 2006, 07:09:30 PM Luigi, I live in Sherman Oaks, and Mike, sadly, peole here in L.A. don't like Axl. All you hear (for the most part) is the upcoming FALL OUT BOY concert. Oh boy, I can hardly wait :hihi: Axl probably rehearses at night, don't ya think? Me and Garry are offically looking out for Axl.... ....during our dates.... :hihi: Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Luigi on March 28, 2006, 07:12:32 PM They've got to be somewhere in the Industrial area. Garry we should talk sometime. : ok:
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Markus Asraelius on March 28, 2006, 07:14:30 PM OK now ::)? I don't think a home studio would suffice, after all, it's such a huge tour.... It's just rehearsals. It's not like this is where they are performing. Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on March 28, 2006, 07:16:00 PM I know, but judging from the leaks, there will be all sorts of bells and whistles, and frankly I don't think that a home can hold everything. Does anyone remember where they rehearsed in 01/02?

Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Continental Drift on March 28, 2006, 07:24:53 PM I will be absolutely SHOCKED if this band pulls off any kind of regular rehearsal schedule over the next two months...
Just pray that a band answering to the name of "Guns N' Roses" shows up in Lisbon... Axl loves the whole "fly by the seat of his pants" thing... Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Saul on March 28, 2006, 07:25:13 PM Now lets hope he shows up at all the rehersals. axl? he wont be at rehearsals .. that aint his style. that would be like being in a real band. : ok: axl shows up minutes before a gig ... thats his rockstar way baby. lol :hihi: Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ?

Post by: mikegiuliana on March 28, 2006, 07:38:56 PM all jokes aside I wonder when the last time axl sang some of the newer songs??? I know he sang jungle PC n scom in 2002 along with some of the newer tunes

Post by: NickNasty on March 28, 2006, 08:40:57 PM acutally, they are rehearsing in my bedroom- dizzy is passed out after drinking a whole bottle of jaeger.
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: a. on March 28, 2006, 08:43:07 PM I'd almost pay some pretty big bucks to go see them rehearse. Perhaps they're playing on the same stage as Bob Barker in Burbank, CA? ;)

Post by: True Believer on March 28, 2006, 10:54:30 PM They're gonna need a BIG space to rehearse. To get used to the range of motion they'lll have.

Post by: ericy210 on March 29, 2006, 07:20:41 AM Hangar makes sense. Keep in mind it's not just about playing the tunes. They have to work out the stage, lighting, sounds systems, how the crew breaks it all down and put it all together in different configurations for different venues, etc.

The 2002 tour proves that Axl doesn't rehearse at all... The old gunners members used to rehearse without Axl, and his quality of vocal on the 2002 tour was awful overall... I am betting he doesn't rehearse with the band... they just play the songs as they're supposed to, and Axl turns up at the gig. I'm confident of that. Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 29, 2006, 08:33:29 AM In the Illusion days, they practiced while listening to a recording of Axls vocals. I'm sure the same thing is happening now.

I completely disagree with your assessment of Axl's vocals on the 2002 tour. His voice sounded far stronger and healthier than it did during most of the Illusion tour. As far as Axl not rehearsing with the band, he admitted to that during the 01-01-01 show. It's not like they need him there to run through the songs, anyway. Ali Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ?

Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on March 29, 2006, 11:47:12 AM They dont necessarily need a huge space to rehearse. I mean when GN'R played at Rock in Rio 2, the band rehearsed in this tiny ass room. Axl will probably be at a few rehearsals at least since he needs to get into the groove of singing in a live setting again, probably more towards May.
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Christian on March 29, 2006, 11:50:37 AM Well, i know wikipedia is not a very good source.. but

One of them was Take One Studio, Burbank, Calif?rnia. This would be in the liner notes of the album too, I believe... too bad I don't have a copy of AFD handy to check... I don't know why they'd want to rehearse in a studio though, wouldn't it get a little cramped in there? Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ?

He was CRAP at singing live... sorry, no two ways about it. And the band doesn't need him there to rehearse... no that's very true... but he needs to fucking rehearse so he can get good at singing... you know ... ready for that world tour they're apparently planning? LOL! Jeez, wake up and smell the shit vocals! I LOVE Axl's stage energy, and GnR shows are incredible (the old lineup kicked ass)... but man, admit it... Axl CAN'T sing live very well!!! Don't take one or two vocal lines that he did well, and suddenly make out he's an amazing vocalist... his recorded stuff is stunning because he can re-record over and over to get it right. If he'd only rehearse with the band, he could be a great singer. Axl's best vocal days BY FAR... and YOU have to even admit this... were when he was touring right around the Appetite for Destruction days ... man, he could sing amazing! Because he rehearsed with the band back then... If you don't rehearse, you can't stay good... that's fact. Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: AmyRose on March 29, 2006, 09:27:43 PM It's soooo clear that Axl's voice sounded the best durning the 2002 tour. Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: dave-gnfnr2k on March 29, 2006, 09:38:30 PM The sound boards dont do axls voice justice. If you were at a show live, you would know how great he sounded
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Jeramy on March 29, 2006, 10:13:53 PM he sounded great to me in 2002, but i'll say this... i think he put more in to the new songs
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: elmir on March 30, 2006, 02:15:56 AM Yes, yes it does. The crew need to know how to get stuff from one venue to the next the quickest and in the most effective way possible. Without practise, this doesn't happen. this is how big productions work: the artists (GNR in this case) rehearse in their own space, getting their performance and itinerary right. they communicate their schedule and progress to event producers who then in turn relay messages to event and stage directors....this goes on for a good few months...artist has NOTHING to do with stage set up and layout (although in this case, I'm sure Axl would want to know what is going on) until about a week before the event...then rehearsals and daily soundchek setups happen with the artist at the venue itself. the crew in the meantime work out their schedules and a transport manager sorts out logistics when it comes to transport and equipment. this has nothing to do with the band, GNR's management gets daily status reports with regards to this. Recreating RIR stage in some hangar in LA is a waste of money for everyone. Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ?

No way, just listen to the boots... I think he gets out of his vocal range a lot with certain songs.. Something like madagascar is in his range because it's almost like a talking song.. I've heard him on songs like RQ and it didn't sound good or wttj.... I sure as hell hope he's practicing, and he needs to cut down on running around, it really hurts to sing if you are winded Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: BLS-Pride on March 30, 2006, 03:40:22 AM I agree with Mike. Think About You was crap. RQ wasn't as strong. We need to face facts and truth that Axl wasn't in good shape in 2002 and his singing suffered.

We need to face facts and truth that Axl wasn't in good shape in 2002 and his singing suffered. I forget what show it was from but I heard november rain, and it wasn't the vocals that caught my attention, it was the terrible first half of the double solo in the middle of the song((neither was good but the first was worse)... Horrible whoever it was playing it... There's no more BH saving the day with a great PC finish or nightrain, I hope the guys have worked on their old songs if they are planning on playing them.. Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: nesquick on March 30, 2006, 04:55:38 AM I think "Think about you" instrumental in 2002 was absolutely huge. Axl wasn't as good vocally as his AFD days (best vocals ever), but dudes, have you noticeds how the instrumental sounded huge in 2002? Fortus was taking the lead (wow, he did an awesome job) and Brain was crazy on drums? :o
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: darkmonth on March 30, 2006, 05:16:49 AM Finally some people agreeing... dave, you're blinded, as well as others... Axl's voice was NOT better ... his BEST voice is in the mid to late 80's, when he was still fresh, and he put fucking effort into practicing with the band ... you know ... kinda what he's SUPPOSED to do as Lead Singer?!!
God, it fucks me off that people can't see it. I LOVE Axl's Energy on stage ... don't get me wrong.... but people are confusing energy on stage, for a good vocal. You are remembering what you WANT to remember. He's got some work to do before he'll rank alongside the greatest vocalists in the world.... Go and listen to a Queen concert.... Listen to the records... then go listen to the live stuff... You'll notice how amazing Freddy's voice is through the live stuff... he rehearsed... he sang ALL the time... he practiced. He was a perfectionist.... I don't think Axl is... Axl's biggest priority is the record. Which I for one and annoyed by. I want him to take time out to make his voice better live, for the fans who will pay a shit load to see him. Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: Elle on March 30, 2006, 05:32:20 AM ^ I kinda agree with you. To say Axl's vocals were amazing in 2002 is wrong. In 1992 his voice sounded rough and tired and I agree that in 2002 he sounded clearer but he did still miss a lot of notes. doesn't mean I didn't bloody well enjoy the gig, it was amazing to see Axl on stage. I'm just not deaf to the fact that he isn't the best live singer i've seen - maybe it is a lack of practice thing and i hope he works on it for this tour.
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: darkmonth on March 30, 2006, 06:44:17 AM Well yeah, that's what I'm saying... he CAN'T sing very well live... however... he puts on a fucking incredible show.... the 90's Illusions shows are regarded as having some of the greatest live gigs ever ... and Axl still shows he's got energy on stage... but my beef wasn't with how good a show he puts on, or how much enoyment he gives... they were with the awful problems he has with his voice that would be rectified with practice with the band!
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: BaDoBsEsSiOn418 on March 30, 2006, 08:29:09 AM Yeah, some songs during '02 Axl's voice was great, but some songs just sounded dreadful vocally (november rain, ycbm).
Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: michaelvincent on March 30, 2006, 09:41:52 AM Quote Recreating RIR stage in some hangar in LA is a waste of money for everyone. Once again everyone around here runs their mouth like they have any idea what's going on. This is exactly what happens before a tour. It's called 'dress rehearsal' in the theatre world. Do you think they just rehearse in some practice space then go out on tour and see the stage setup the first night they walk out there? That's retarded. You would have a bunch of burning GnR members running around as they got blasted by flash pots they didn't know existed. And before you tell me I'm wrong my roommate is a production manager for an off-Broadway tour so I've seen a lot of this stuff in action. What happens is this: there are band rehearsals which take place away from the tech crew and the stage and lighting designers. When the band feels well rehearsed and the stage show is ready there are dress rehearsals where then band rehearses the show on the stage (ie: in a large production studio or hangar, etc.) so that the band can get a feel for the stage (ie: figure out where the fire is going to be so they don't get burned), they can get their ears used to the sound on the new stage, the crew can figure out how to break down and set up the stage, the sound guys can figure out where to put monitors and amps/test the sound equipment, and the whole organization can do a 'dry run' through the whole production. Do you seriously think that the crew just gets a set on instructions the first day and starts putting shit up sight unseen? Do you really think the band just sees the whole stage show the first night the go out and play? Prepping for a major tour is a huge multi-step process. Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ? Post by: dman1991 on March 30, 2006, 09:50:40 AM Luigi, I live in Sherman Oaks, and Mike, sadly, peole here in L.A. don't like Axl. All you hear (for the most part) is the upcoming FALL OUT BOY concert. Oh boy, I can hardly wait :hihi: Axl probably rehearses at night, don't ya think? The 2002 tour proves that Axl doesn't rehearse at all... The old gunners members used to rehearse without Axl, and his quality of vocal on the 2002 tour was awful overall... I am betting he doesn't rehearse with the band... they just play the songs as they're supposed to, and Axl turns up at the gig. I'm confident of that. I completely disagree with your assessment of Axl's vocals on the 2002 tour. His voice sounded far stronger and healthier than it did during most of the Illusion tour. As far as Axl not rehearsing with the band, he admitted to that during the 01-01-01 show. It's not like they need him there to run through the songs, anyway. Ali Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ?

Whatever problems you think he has with his voice would not be rectified by practicing with the band. How would that help his voice? What would help anyone's voice is doing vocal exercises, getting plenty of rest and just taking care of yourself in general. Practicing with the band is entirely separate issue. That would help the performances of the songs, if anything. Not whatever vocal issues he may or may not have. You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine. I just happen to think his voice sounded great from the very first opening scream in Jungle at the 01-01-01 show to the last performance at MSG in 2002. Ali Title: Re: GN'R Start Rehearsals ?

Ali well..... you`re exxagerating a little now.... his voice sucked at the vma`s (madagascar) for example : ok: but in general you`re totally right. his voice was fine. however he was out of breath on many songs..... |
