For all the people that complain Axl doesnt have that rasp in his voice anymore

[sandman]

I said this in my first post and I will say it again. Axl DID NOT use the rasp on AFD or the UYIs or even lies. The rasp happened because his voice got fucked up.

you're missing the whole point about why people are so disappointed by axl's new voice.

it's not just about the rasp that was present throughout the 80's and 90's (and despite some people's claims, it WAS present in the 80's....and it WAS present at the Ritz show....just listen to mama kin).

the primary difference is that his voice is way too high pitched, and for most people, it doesn't sound good.

I love CD, The Blues, and IRS. But I dont understand all this head over heels in love shit with the new voice. Please go listen to Riyadh on Axl's Osaka Monitor Mix. Then come back and post views on the new voice.

I do have to agree some PPBEBE

Steven Tyler did the Get A Grip album in his 40's and some of the notes he hits are just insane.

Take the song "Crazy" for instance, I use to think it was just Joe Perry's guitar at the end, but that is steven matching it, unbelievable.


Facts are, Axl was always a somewhat flawed live singer, so when people hear him now, they forget that he wasnt ever the greatest live singer to begin with.


I had a video of GNR rehearsing Coma at RIR2 during their soundcheck, and Axl's voice was so incredible on that.

Yep.
Whether To beat stage fright or to enliven the show, he is always bustling and hardly sings still on stage, which makes him one of the greatest RN'R live performers and not the greatest live singer.

Lives are for the spectators. He doesn't sing for bootleggers anyway.

The reason axl does not always sound great live is  because he runs around too much. If he just stood there and sung he would sound amazing. Just look at the HOB show, and how he sounded. He sounded great because of the small stage.

As for the oska monitor mix,  that is from the montior so its going to sound different than really sounds. And why take a show he sounded blah on instead of one he sounded great. The only thing that matters is how he will sound on the album and he will sound amazing.

For all the people that complain Axl does not have that ?rasp? in his voice anymore.? When people complain about this it sometimes boggles my mind.? Axl NEVER had the rasp in his voice until he blew out his voice in the early 90s.? Just listen to the shows from the 80s like the Ritz for example or listen to AFD. Axl does not have a rasp in his voice.? The rasp is a defect in his voice.? Now listen to HOB, that is how a healthy voice should sound.? If you take Axls voice from a 80s show and a show from 2002 they are pretty similar just Axl is older.? So we should really hope Axl does not get that rasp back because that means his voice is screwed up again.
