Here Today... Gone To Hell!

The last few days i am listening a lot at the leaked Demos including the instrumentals...

What i really noticed is that the music on the instrumentals is great...

A lot of depth,emotion,different layers with 2 Leads that play different styles but compliment each other very much and most of the times it just cannot go better....

Even I.R.S has a nice "complexity"

Now with Axl i have to say that i am not that impressed...Apart from the beggining of better and a few screams i don't think his singing & lyrics are at the level of the instrumentals.

Although he sings very good, in most cases i feel, that it is not the best he could have done with these instumentals...On the other hand i feel that the band and the 2 leads & rhythm are doing exceptionaly well.

So unfortunately i have to conclude that Axl is the weakest link in these demos!!!
And it is weird cause in a lot of the past songs i believe that Axl was the strongest link both vocally and lyrically...

So i really hope that Uncle Axl has something better up his sleeve when CD drops cause i don't want to feel dissapointed by his performance..

yeah sure... whatever... I guess everyone is entitled for opinion

Dude his voice and lyrics in Better are fucking ace. Don't know what your on about.

If you think Axl is the weak link in GNR, I can tell you one thing: You are going to be majorly disappointed with the album.

axl is gnr

The vocals on There Was A Time are pretty good.   IRS, too.

no he's not (axl), pitman is.. i think.. he seems like a cool and nice guy but those two should not be the skills too be in the best band in the world.. maybe he does really important sound effects and without him the songs would be less great ???

today that is so true

maybe axl thinks the same way gnrosas, and that's why the disc is taking forever to come.  he is coming to grips with his voice.  it probably isn't the same as it was in the 90's and he's trying to make sure it's bang on.  imo

Axl`s work in those songs suits fine! that`s not a matter of being better than the instrumentals. The songs rock so i don`t care if Axl`s is the weakest link or not m ;D

i can maybe see where your coming from,
instruments are more consistant than the vocal range. instruments are machines and will always perform more or less to the best of their capability, but the vocals have fluctuations which through no fault of their own can differ depending on circumstances.
axls voice aint as good as it used to be.................but hes a lot fucking older now

hey he is still better than most vocalists

i agree with you there, hes better than 2002 but he'll never go back to what he used to be and we shouldn't expect him to

I'm so looking forward to something happening again in the GnR camp....
New threads are so boring.....

No offense GNROSAS  : ok:

Those are just demos ...

Wait for the finished tracks :yes:

today and 15 years ago...

Of all the players that could be replaced by someone better than them for gn'r, axl is not one of them.

^To Pepe666: No.

The vocal melodies and lyrics are just as great as ever on the new tracks at least IMO.  Axl the weak link?  His style is what's carrying the songs

Nope. Just like it wasn't 20 years ago..

mike, ive read a lot of your posts, this isnt a dig btw, but u cant seem to let go of the original gnr, do u actually support this new lot?

by the way your a fucking idiot

Saying" Axl wasn't all of gn'r 20 years ago" and saying "I want nuGN'R to fail" are two very seperate things.

I support axl, nothing else.. Same way I support slash or duff...

I'm just not a person that feels one man is gnr or should be using the gnr name... That goes for any member, and I never fall for the oh one guy =gnr.... Gnr was huge because they did it together... AFD was a blend of many things, something that could interest anyone ,vocals to guitars

ok kool  : ok:

do u like the new songs?

  a few I do ,better twat maddy mostly..

This is a Guns N Roses forum, to me people don't have to love or even like the new lineup to be here because if they supported loved the old GnR then they are still at the right place. It doesn't always have to be about the present lineup.

People say "you cant seem to let go of the original gnr" so? This is a GnR forum isn't it. It amazes me that were all GnR fans here yet some people want to disown the Classic lineup.


Just my 2 Cents

You're kidding right?
