NOVEMBER 3 - Huntington, WV discussion thread

[JuicySwoos]

All the reviewers are absolutely LOVING this tour so far.

yeah, it seems like they are getting better reviews than they did in 91, definately better reviews than 02, these shows must fucking rock.

The only thing i notice is some somewhat diss on axls vocals. But i bet they dont even go by how he used to sing live. Back in the 90's he was a bit iffy on the vocals as well at times. Just I think people go by the vocals they hear on the album to determine his vocal range. Axl is more attempting to "sing" then he used to do in the 90's some of his vocals in the 90's were completey dead no tone at all. just completely bottomed out.

Axl sounds much better on tour than 2002, which makes this tour better.  Also, the band have so much energy now, and it just seems so much better.

Yeah, back in the day it was more hit or miss when it came to his vocals. Sometimes he sounded amazing, many times he sounded like shit. I think he is more consistent overall now, sounding pretty damned good day in and day out even though the "power" in his voice may not be what it was. When he was "on" back in the day, (freddy mercury, paris, etc), there was nothing better.

The band IS A BAND. ?Everyone is enjoying each others company and playing off of each others vibes. ?Being a part of that show last night showed me this is the best lineup Axl could have came up with. ?Not just saying that because whoever Axl puts in the band is who we have to live with, I mean I do miss the one and only Buckethead, but this band is beyond GREAT. ?They nailed every song, just show Axl some love and he'll give it back witha ?killer setlist like we had last night. ?Perfect show, perfect set, great performance, a lot of chicks dancing on me a lot alcohol being consumed, everything you need for a killer GN'R show.

Sorry, I should have prefaced this by saying that I wrote the review.  Wasn't dissing Axl's vocals by the way.  Just making an observation compared to the boots I have from back-in-the-day.

Wow, one of my favourite GNR songs, Down On The Farm!

I hope we gonna get some recordings now.

[November_Oasis]

FUCK! It was awesome :drool:Axl fucking loved WV! He smiledALOT ?and a hell of alot of funny banter. It was funny everyone was juiced up in the deck and calling the mosh pit out during Papa Roach until Axl came on he seriously wore everyone out he rocked so fucking hard. My God this man is a force I will post a review probably tomorrow. BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! GNR tore the fucking house down!

One of the best written reviews I've read.  Do you write professionally?

yeah when he was in.He obviously sang louder back then but he was less trying to "sing" if u know what i mean. in the 80's he was usually good. I think in the 90's a lot of times his voice would blow out, Sweet Child O Mine In Tokyo was the worst ive ever heard him...No tone at all. In Paris France he was really good though. But its live rock every singer is like that. especially a singer like Axl who has to belt out and range all around with his voice.

[grog mug]

Axl was great in 02'. ?I don't see why people fuss over his voice so much, so what it was a little more high pitch, you could barely even notice anyway. ?He actually held screams MUCH longer in 02', but now that the old rasp is back his voice is in better shape. ?Just can't hold the screams like he did in 02'.

[November_Oasis]

His vocals were amazing he's obviously having a fucking great time. He screamed like a machine

Hey thanks!  Sometimes.  I mostly freelance for beer money.  It's hard to make a living in rock journalism these days unless you're already established.  I was just excited to get free tickets to check out one of my fave rock bands.  Tried to be objective where I could.

I thought so too. 02 and 06 he defanetly hits higher notes then the 90's. 02 he hit a few off notes but when ur singing like that its gonna be more obvious. singing the way he did in the early 90's its almost impossible to hit offnotes when ur singing the way he was.

[Adler_Sorum_Brain]

Down on the farm is a great song ! Great that they played it !

TSI is not a good album

Can?t wait for Civil War

TSI is a great album, with Aint it Fun being the greatest song on it.

Nope, most of the songs doesn?t fit GNR...An EP would have been better instead of an whole album

I don't think the accent is meant to insult anyone. I hear americans love a brit accent.

agreed. and that clear voice is the proof that the said damage from smoking, drinking and the overuse of voice were just temporary in his case and is gone.
