Members Guvnor Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 This also highlights how uncreative the new band is. They did nothing new with the arrangement here. In this setting, it would have been a perfect time to add more keyboard and horns to that song. Could've been really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeadNight Warrior Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Originally Posted by skinsscalper It's true that his vocal style doesn't help.

Honestly, the singer that amazes me is Blackie Lawless. Sure he's fat and old and WAAAAY past his prime, but when he does perform that {censored}er still brings it (vocally) after all these years. His style is VERY tough to cop. Yeah, but Blackie most likely does it with proper, healthy vocal technique, hence why he's still going strong despite being fat and old. And yes, Blackie still sounds {censored}ing great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members akapuli Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Honestly the band has 3 world class guitar players, yet they are not able to play together. The whole performance was a big mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akapuli Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Originally Posted by FrostByte That was my first thought but... 'tis not so.

Most guys with similar 'instinctive' shouting style would suffer from vocal chord damages after a couple of years. Think for ex. Chris Cornell. The only person is the AC/DC's singer, I can't detect any effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members satannica Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Laugh all you want. Axl has contributed more to rock and heavy music than any of you suckers Personally, I don't get the point of these bull{censored} acoustic things. They're all crap. Alice in Chains, Nirvana, didn't get it. It wasn't "soulful", it wasn't "intimate", it wasn't "compelling". It was just tedious. Same with Guns 'n Roses unplugged. I mean, wtf!? But really, I enjoy GnR. They influenced me a lot growing up, I used to learn GnR songs just the same as Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Sepultura songs and I'm not ashamed of any of that. Sorry you're all bitter and twisted up about an old guy who still has the bottle to create a bunch of drama and still get up on stage regardless of health, but sucks to be you Personally, if I'm still commanding an audience when I'm an old-ass bitch barely able to strum through arthritis, then {censored} yea!

I think it's more that Axl has contributed a helluva lot, not "ooh he's famous". Regardless of what he is now, his legacy speaks for itself. The guy's an asshole, sure, but he's a great performer and I've enjoyed GnR every time I've seen them - in 1992, 2009 and 2010 (vague years).
