Personally I disagree.. I think "The Blues" and "Madagascar" sound much better with the rasp. Two reasons I guess.. 1) It just sounds better, and 2) this is Axl 'fucking' Rose.. we're talking the guy that made raspiness in singing the coolest thing in the world.
I agree, but even when Axl sings without the rasp (e.g. start of better), you still know its Axl. I guess thats shows what a unique voice he has
Good story by the way I agree in the most part, something wasn't right back then, but I think that was still an important part of the learning process for the band.
