DOES ANYBODY ELSE REALIZE HOW SIGNIFICANT IT IS AXL HAS HIS VOICE BACK

[Voodoochild]

some people on this board are completly deaf.

in 2002 Axl's voice was clearer yes, and it probably didn't fit for all songs no, but on certains ones like KOHD my god, it was just astonishing.

I agree. Also The Blues/SOD was really good in his clearer voice.

plus, his voice was incredibly strong and powerful, as never in Guns history

That was really great, reminds me of his scream on IRS in the album.

See, people mistakes his rasp to good singing. His range was much better in 2002~2007, when he could pull off most of the new songs more like in the album.

I'm not saying his voice isn't good now, tho. I do like it how it is, specially in the old songs like Rocket Queen.

I was at that show - that was in Albany 2002.  GREAT show.  Glad it was caught on video.

True! his voice is amazing! His stage presence is still awesome and the rest of the band is great!

Have u perhaps been checking to the Nice Boys and Whole lotta rosie videos on this tour?

His range is better than ever!

[Bruno Poeys]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen Axl hitting a higher note than the one he hit in TWAT in Tokyo last year. Maybe the 2006 VMA's scream, but I think this one is even higher.

Yes, I did. But I'm afraid you don't really know what range is.

Good point, but he was rather inconsistent. I can't just compare it to the TWAT from Madrid right now, tho.

I think he's better right now with his voice control, but saving it a bit more.

I hear you, I'll add Madagascar. I'm not fond of the vocals on The Blues & Madagascar on the album, in fact. I think the demos were better, vocally speaking.

I think the good compromise was found in 2006. still powerful voice, more raspy for the rock songs, still high and versatile for the ballads.

of course he's still great, but in 2010 you can see he manages differently his singing, less long screams or vocalises. but hey, everyone gets older and I'm sure he'll be just amazing on the future album.

I do know.. he can sing as long as he did in 2002 now...

I just thing Axl was saving his vocal chords back in 2002 for the recording of CD.

the voice was always there, it just wasn't used to the maximum on purpose.

Hell, the voice is better in 2010 than it ever was.

[Farid Bak]

I think Nico might have a point here

What? That's not an excuse. Then why did his voice sucked at VMA's? That show was kind of important. No time to "save for the recording" there. How I see it is that Axl wasn't at his best shape in 2001-2002. If you have noticed he doesn't run that much on stage anymore. On 2001-2002 he ran and jump around like he did in UYI Tour so he was out of breath more quickly. Now 2006-2010, he sounds KILLER because he moves wisely on stage.

[Alpachiris]

These are the best years of Axl..

Enjoy..




PS. Axl sounds and looks better than ever...

Axl's voice is back. This is the best since the UYI tour.   He didn't sound right in 2001. In 2006 he was starting to sing like he used. In 2010, there's no questions he's back.
