Pretty good news.
Wonder if they'll do a warm up show in the usa like they did in NYC last time? Wonder if they'll come back to australia? hope so! Looking forward to some boots from the big festivals.

The ONLY reason I can think of other than his voice is off more than it is on is if he couldn't find 25 songs where everybody in the band was on, and since he couldn't re-record Slash's parts (well, not with Slash at least), then his only option was finding decent band performances and redoing the vocals.
I remember reading an interview with slash where he said he co-operated with live-era and that he and axl never spoke directly but that others in the process facilitated any commincation needed. He went in to overdub some parts to fix them up - like bits that were not auidable on the recordings but he then said something like when he played it back he was pretty happy with what existed and decided not to overdub much.

He and Bach both miss a lot of notes live. Axl since the UYI days though, seems to always be very pitchy.
Really? I never noticed bach being pitchy and i've seen him 4 times live...but maybe I was lost in the moment. In fact...i probably was cos it was kickass lol. To be fair to them tho - it's some pretty hard shit to sing those songs...I think it's understandable to miss some notes...especially if working the stage like those guys.

So you agree? You can't come up with another reason for it, nor can I.
So what are you saying was the reason for it Buz? That he always sucks live?
Just wondering what your take on it is.
I find the whole situtation strange given there are other recordings many consider superior to Live Era, so I doubt that it was simply that he was unable to find any recording of suffiecent quality. I'm wondering if perhaps there are other reasons - perhaps as Axl's voice appears higher than it used to he was hoping to allow these versions to get the public used to his new sound? Or perhpas he has always wanted to make minor changes to the vocal peformance on the songs? (ala the appetite re-record). Maybe the bad memories associated with the illusion period made him not want to put out anything he did back then as a commerical product now...could be loads of other reasons.
For the record I think Axl (like most singers) is superior in the studio to live. But that's because he pushes himself so hard and achieves what most can't do. And while he's a human being and so I guess varies from day to day, I still think he deliveres a kickass show.

listen to his voice here.....
Not to derail the thread...but that's so kickass. I'd kill for a studio verison of that (to get rid of the crowd noise and the dude in the audience singing). I was kinda hoping it would be like Chinese Democracy's cover tune ala "Live and Let Die".

The thing is...Axl makes up for any missed notes with his overall peformance..the stagecraft...the chrisma...he's one of the true frontmen that's exciting to watch. I wouldn't have phrased it as drasticly as Buz, but i'll agree that his parts are much harder to peform live - due to the complexity of the studio versions and that he's clearly not only stretching himself past what most people can do but to the edges of his own limits...which is a great thing for any peformer to do. What matters is that he makes kickass CDs and puts on a quality version of the songs live even if it isn't always possible to do it note for note.
