Maybe he hadn't finished the vocals for cd and wanted to preserve his voice for the studio

This is the best explanation yet.  The "raspy" voice is back on some songs now.  He sounds a lot better now than in 2002  peace

2006 just sounds awesome. He did that LALD scream at Hammersmith if I remember correctly.

As someone mentioned before in the previous thread about this - I think the 2002 MTV VMA's invalidates the "holding back" theory as the vocal performance there was less than adequate outside of the Jungle Scream and a couple raspy moments on Paradise City.  He was out of breath and his pipes sounded like fossils.  And when you're on a stage of that caliber in front of the entire nation that hasn't seen nor heard from you in years, why hold back?  Just doesn't make sense.  He should've "unleashed the beast" as you say all over that broadcast and knocked everyone on their asses and left no question that GN'R were back and better than ever.  Instead, everyone was like "Man, did you see Axl on MTV last night!?  What the hell happened to him?  He's fat and sounded like shit."

I'm still in the ballpark of there was a legitimate problem in 2002.

I think the 2002 VMA's can be largely chalked up to nerves.  Axl ran out of breath and admitted he was very nervous prior to the performance.  I think that performance may have been hurt just because he hadn't even been seen by most people in around 8 years.  Hopefully they will play the VMA's this year and Axl will show pop culture America he still has the goods  smoking

better than 2002 still lacks the real youthful rasp and 'violence' of old days but a welcome return of a super voice in 2006

Instead of being throaty, he uses sharper and metallic rasps, or rather screeches, from his very own huge voice repertoire. the 02 vocals were great except for some parts on some old songs.
As I see it, the singing in 02 was more like true to the basics of good singing and vocalization. His vocals today are based on the 02 ones.

Overall, I prefer his newer voices to his 20th century young voices that were, on comparison, still under construction.
Yep, he sounds better than ever. yes

A lot of people do seem to forget how he sounded back in the UYI tour. There was rasp, alright - nothing but rasp! The '02 voice still sounded like a work-in-progress, which was sometimes dead-on, and sometimes... not.  It's worth considering; how much Axl has invested into his voice during the past 10 or so years. It's highly distinguishable, one of the cornerstones of the "GNR sound". He must've felt the need to get it into such a shape that it could blast windows at the recording studio, and still manage to hit the high notes after months of active touring. Given his insistence to have a live band that can match the studio outfit, who's to say he wouldn't extend this demand to his own voice as well?

After all this time, one wouldn't easily think the "extra recording" could mean the re-doing of vocal tracks.

For the most part he sounds better than he's ever sounded.

Incidentally,is there a general consensus as to what his worst vocal peformance was ?

any show in 2002 ws his worst vocal performance especially MTV.......I have over 120 GNR bootlegs and just threw away all the 2002 shows (except Boston)...........Without getting to into it the reality is his voice sucked in 2002 most likely due to 8 years of no live shows whatsoever  and he probably had not bothered with any vocal training...Now in 2006 he has gone back to his signature style mostly because he has probably gone through a lot of vocal training...............Maybe he took 12 years off cuz it took that long to get his damn voice back.....................As for the UYI tour, that was the most raspy it has ever been especially in the 1991 concerts............

most vocal teachers would disagree with you about that.
Again have you been to a concert? Lets not jumble up voice and pitch/rhythm/breathing in singing.
recording may tell you if the singer sings a wrong note but it doesn't really do justice to the quality of live voice unless it's done as it should be.
