Look, Axl struggles live because he can do things other singers can't, and he brings everything to the studio tracks. The price to pay for that is that he can't replicate it live. Those are facts.
To be honest, I think the Live Era re-recorded vocals sound worse than the actual shows. And it ruined what was supposed to be a "live" album. I believe there were bass and guitar parts that were re-recorded as well. The album should have been called "Live-Studio-Era".
TOTALLY agree. I can't even listen to that record because of the fact that I know alot of the original live vocals were better than the studio re-recordings. That's part of the reason I was always scared of the AFD-Redux.
I listened to one song from Live Era for the first time in like two years the other day and I couldn't believe how bad it was. It was SCOM that I listened to, and it didn't do justice to the live versions of it. There's a Paris version of it that I have that is just amazing, way better vocally than Live Era.

It's true that there is a lot he can't replicate live. But singers that are a lot more limited than Axl also do the same thing, they record things they can't replicate live. So when Axl blows them out of the water, I wouldn't call him a bad singer live.
#833 Re: The Garden » Actual Night Train (the Drink) » 915 weeks ago
Actually I don't think I ever had it. I remember some cheap stuff like Mad Dog, Boones & some stuff not sold in PA but Maryland had it, I think it was called Cisco. Think I tried that once, not sure.
Mad Dog is bad stuff.

You do realise this is a really old april fools joke...
Oops... I just saw it today.
Anyway, it's such a good joke it deserves its own thread.:laugh:

I tried to find it when I was in LA, but I have never tried it. When I go to Seattle this summer I'll make a trip to Tacoma to pick some up.
#836 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses To Play Chile? » 915 weeks ago
GNR's bread and butter at this point are those Euro festivals.
Any stateside tours will be in the Fall most likely. I don't really see that changing, regardless of the fact they're 0-for-2 at the plate for completing one.
It's really a hard choice to make. They have a much better chance of selling a lot more tickets in Europe during the summer season.
But if the a US summer tour is backed by sold out shows down south and a re-release of the album, it could be very good. Not to mention it would could put GNR back on the map over here.
But sold out shows down south, with huge audiences in the summer, with a re-release, could work good for a US fall tour.
#837 Re: Guns N' Roses » Something I just noticed on the Axl/Slash thing » 915 weeks ago
It was a dumb move on Slash's part too though. I mean even if all he wanted to do was check out the show nothing more - that would never happen smoothly. He must have known that his presence would be noticed and therefore create some sort of pandamonium.
You honestly can't blame him though. I could really see him wanting to see a GNR show, and see Axl perform in Guns. When he was in the band, he was obviously disconnected from all that.
