Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I'd love to see him try to emit this much energy nowadays.  :hihi:

Crazy!

And I think that's the kind of wild, raw rock n' roll unpredictability that a lot of the "new" band's criticizers always try to reference.

I'm not a basher but I have to admit after seeing that, it completely blows away Axl's current stage presence. But I suppose with age you can't be expected to keep up that kind of act for very long, and it'd probably look a bit lame if he tried to do it now.

I have this.....and I have the VHS version at home....it is awesome....even though his voice is fucked up during the whole show.

It's amazing how many times this keeps getting Posted.

Honestly, that is horrible sounding and he looks like a coked out redneck. ::)

Yeah no shit...I have had that show since January 1992...

Dead Horse. and youtube gnr thread

but u wuld never think bout that, u jut have to start annnooother new thread for just bout everything

Actually I thought this was Dead Horse when I posted it, I clicked on the wrong tab in Firefox. I keep tabs open for two or three forums at a time. Sorry to ruin your day EFISH with my careless mistake.

Im actually having a pretty damn good day, thank you very much : ok:

Me too. Any day I get to talk to you is a good day for me, Efish.  :love: : ok:

There's a lot of love in this thread.....errr...maybe too much..... :hihi:

its funny how all the comments on these old 91 videos say "omg, axl sounds so good, he sucks now tho lol" when his voice is totally shot on this video.  hahha.

Even though it was shot I think there was a lot of power behind it, and a lot of metal freaks like that shit. Personally I prefer his voice when it was a bit more like Elton John rather than shot and gritty like this, but it works well on rockers like Perfect Crime.

Find something better to post.

WTF?

Oh, that's all right, Robio576 - your very presence here has elevated this to heights of excellence!

His voice was shot in the entire show....he had some voice problems in the first month or so of that tour in 91...not every night, but a few times a week....after that, he was unstoppable....especially in 93.....holy fuck was he ever untouchable at that time.

Hahahaha....a newbie tellin' RUSSIAN what to do........you're a BAD person Russian Roulette!..... :hihi:

That's an awesome clip!  Isn't that what they opened with??  Damn, how can you scream your brains out and then continue the show for another 2 hours?  Amazing!

They opened with RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO HELL.....Perfect Crime came towards the end of the show.... :peace:

Oh okay, that makes more sense...   ;)

Wasn't trying to "elevate it to the hight of excellence"... What the hell does that even mean?...

Newbie or not, the post sucks.

LIke i have said many times before ,? Axl did not age well.? ?You look at Mick jagger when he was Axl's age(44)? and he makes? this current Axl look like grandpa.? ?When Axl performs? now? it looks as if he is in pain and can't move.? ?Walking off stage in between verses? doesn't help either? ( i know he needs to do this for oxygen but still ). The younger Axl? used to move and dance? like crazy in between verses? and it complimented the band (slash ) while they? did their thing .? It's not good having your frontman? disappear every 40 seconds .? ?Now that being said? he still kicks the ass of most of the frontman? out there today, but compared to his old self? he's average at best .

I retract what I said.  I watched the post a couple of times and it is amaizing the amount of intensity Axl displays. 

Sorry man, I've had a day from hell.

Robio/newbie

Isn't it funny how people make fun of his voice now a days  ???

His voice at this concert and many others back in the day, don't even compare to how good it is now.

It's plain and simple, some people just don't want to see him succeed!

When his voice was fucked up on a certain night, then yes......but from most of 92 and all of 93...he was at his peak as a singer...He never had a bad night in 93'...not one..

it's not about how his voice ?sounds ? it's about how powerful ?it used to be. ? His old voice ?no matter how shitty it may have sounded ? was never overpowered ?by the rest of the band . ? Nowadays ?it's hard to hear Axl ?sometimes. ? Either his voice ?has weakened ?or he has the worst sound crew in the history of rock . ? There are many people that attend ?these shows ?that complain about how hard it is to hear his voice . ? Either way ?his voice is not as powerful as it used to be. ? He better get himself the best sound crew out there to help him out . ?

Well personally, I watched the Tokyo shows and he didn't sound all that great in some of those songs.  Your trying to tell me he was perfect for a full year?   ::)

I agree.  However, I dont expect anyone to maintain such a powerful voice after 15 years.

It's because (a) he's older and doesn't have the vocal strength he used to (it's also because he smoked and drank back in the day) and (B) the band has three guitarists, a bassist, a keyboardist, a synth player and Lord knows what else he is trying to overpower with his voice. They need to get better sound guys - the current ones suck big time.

You're talking about the 92 show when his voice was fucked during the 2nd half of the show.......If you ARE talking about 93 Tokyo shows then maybe a little bit rough but still good.....and I never said perfect........

THIS IS WHAT I CALL TRUE ROCK N' ROLL but these days axl isn't da same anymore, he used ta sing n' move so fucking wild but he now dances like old woman who needs ta drink her medicine ta live on!   :hihi:

If you think the video is good...you should have seen it in person....I was only 16 and was one of the complete defining moment of my life!

Simply untrue. he had a lot of off notes. What hes trying now is to be a better singer. On his albums he sang in a lot of his old92 songs it was screaming and not covering any notes. Like he was in the 80's and today.

Dude...ck yourself brother...Axl was not that great in the 80's....Sometimes he was amazing...but it was fucked up a lot also....but his voice was much more powereful in the 90's.....93 was his best year as a vocalist........several metal mags gave him the #1 live vocalist of the year honors in 92 AND 93.......I guess it's a matter of opinion.....I just don't think that it should be.....We'll agree to disagree..... :peace:

If the old Axl  came out and performed today   it would put every nu rock band  out there right now  out of business .   That is how fuckin great  he used to be.    Bands would have to step up their game big time .

Oh, forget about it.....the rock industry and music industry in general is lacking BIGTIME compared to the early 90's.... not to mention that Axl was the absolute MAN back then....nobody could touch him as a performer...a lot of new GNR fans don't seem to realize this...by new, I mean post 94'

Yeah, in 1993 he had a great depth to his voice like Elton John, while (also like Elton) being able to carefully balance the high falsetto. Axl Rose was at his peak then.

you should delete ur words cuz i'm so sure that axl isn't agree ta ya for sure, trust me!!!  :hihi: 

He doesn't have to agree, Axl already knows this...

ok do ya mean that axl always telephones ya ta tell his thoughts? Oh c?mon, give me a choice  ::)

Not quite...think whatever you want to bro....

No, but when Axl said Elton John was one of his biggest influences as a singer, and that he was honored to perform with him, and when he said in multiple interviews that he tried to sing like Freddie and Elton when he was younger, I'm pretty sure that means he is aware of a similarity to Elton John.

hell yeah, that's what i'm doin' !!!!  :yes:

The second night yes. But GN'R did open the first night with Perfect Crime. :)

AXLROSEVEN goes crazy (HERETODAYGONETOHELL in every post he does)

 :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

His voice might be suffering but I always love that Perfect Crime clip for the passion!!
That's what makes it truely awesome.

Although he hasn't done anything as manic recently, Axl's still got some feeling in his performance - check out I.R.S. on the kroq web cast from "when you first told me you were gone"...its like you can feel the pain!

Can someone upload that KROQ IRS?

i'm mad cuz i say ?: i'll never forget when axl used ta shock me while goin' nuts on stage, he used ta sing wildly, he also danced like no one else did but these days he's not that special guy we all saw in Indiana '91 show, i'm still wonderin' why?  ...maybe he tried to tell us from da start : NOTHING LASTS FOREVER :'( 

I would but i only have the asf file of the whole show and don't know how to split it!
