Factors that have restored Axl's Confidence and vintage Singing

[Annie]

Why do you have to be so negative? Axl always sounds great but these last 2 shows were mind blowing!

Are you huffing paint?

I have comments all over these threads about how he's sounded good.  How he crushed 'Coma' both nights.  How he even did a good YCBM, which has been a trouble spot.

Get some facts and get back to me, sweetheart.  But not until then.

The fact is that I am NOT your sweetheart.
What was the point of the not lately comment?

What was the point of the not lately comment?

That there were not all these threads about how amazing he sounded in Spring 2014 or Winter 2012.

Thus, the claim "there are always threads about how he good he sounds at the beginning of tours" is not accurate.

He sounds pretty good in the clips from both the Troubador and Las Vegas.  But that hardly makes the previous tour's vocals retroactively awesome.  What sense does that make?

DX, as hard as it is man, sometimes you have to sit back and watch the world burn...

And yes DX and myself have been praising Axl largely. SO chill it.

[D-GenerationX]

Everybody seems happy.

I can only think of a literal few dissidents.  And even they aren't fully committed to hating on the current situation.

It's an amazing time to be a GNR fan.  And for a change, that's not sarcasm.

That's good.

Yeah Slash and Duff, along with the great long standing of Axl, Rich and Frank and DIzzy have infused the band it looks like.

[COMAMOTIVE]

I agree he HAS to hear Slash playing his style and get sentimental and proud that they've put the crap behind them because Slash is the f*cking man

And don't you think the same can be said about Slash hearing Axl's singing and Axl's style and just the fact alone that IT'S AXL!!! ?

It's human nature that there be some sense of warm n' fuzzy for BOTH men.

Doesn't mean, as the the thread subject line suggests that Axl had ever at any time over his years of performing without Slash lost confidence or his vintage singing style.

Nostalgia.... Ain't Life Grand. 
   

Without a doubt my brother - didn't mean to suggest otherwise

[COMAMOTIVE]

Everytime they go on tour there are threads about how awesome his voice sounds.
He sounds great now, he usually does
I think it has more to do with not running around and being throned

In Troubadour he wasnt running around, but not sitting either and sounded great.

Small stage 

But yeah - he sure did sound great

Read the original - he usually does

Not true
You could go back to the last few years - everytime they hit the stage again - people get amped (for good reason) and talk about how great his voice sounds

My point was that his voice usually sounds great but that it wasn't totally because of playing with Slash

Quote of the day:  Merry someone that looks at you just like Axl looks at Slash.

Not only did Axl look at Ashba exactly the same way, he used to wear Ashba swag clothes, too!!!

 I agree that Axl always interacted with all band members of all eras. But being together with Slash is something else. Just look at the Axl twitter about his broken foot. He said he was doing something he hasn't done in 23 years

And you don't think Slash feels the same about working with Axl again? 

Just look at the Axl twitter about his broken foot. He said he was doing something he hasn't done in 23 years

Axl tweeted he broke his foot on day one of being on a stage with Slash again after 23 years and you read it as Axl expressing his undying love for Slash??

This is what can happen when you do something you haven't done in nearly over 23 years,"Internal Fixation" (ง'̀-'́)ง

Please show me where in this tweet Axl implied anything beyond he broke his foot while onstage with Slash after 23 years.

I would like to see that as well, it is always amazing to see the bizarre ways that some people interpret and translate any communication coming from the band.

So you think Axl just broke his foot because, poor Axl he just has very fragile bones? You don't think he was doing any effort to make a great show?

Now if you believe this Axl is exactly same Axl we had two or three years ago. Fine, believe what you want but that's not the case. We have seen three shows so far as pretty strong evidence that things has changed for the better.

WTF??  Axl fell onstage, landed awkwardly on his foot and broke it.

Big ups!

Not to mention, there's a clip on youtube that's almost 7 minutes long of Axl falling on stage... so it's not like he was falling for Slash or anything like that lol. He just gets into the shows/music/performance and loses his footing. Makes me realize he's human.
