Agreed. I don't think it was the best show by any means. All I was trying to point out that if you were to do what I did, which is observe the reactions of those in attendance with and around you, and those on the forums, it was a stark contrast.

I find it consistent with what he has put out in the last few years.

High on helium, short on rasp.

I'm not going to defend all posters, but many, including myself, come back to post when the band actually does something.

Fair enough. I don't have the attachment to the raspy tone some do, so it's not as big a deal for me that he doesn't use that tone now.

Gotta say I'm staggered at the doom mongers in this thread and how disappointing it is to see long time members who go months between posts jump in as soon as GNR do something to predictabley tell everyone how shit it was.

Do tell.

The battered housewife paradigm gets thrown out a lot when it comes to the GNR fanbase, and 'doomy' is just a housewife word for 'realistic'. Some people love to hate this band, and having grown jaded enough not to get excited on anything, they still feel the need to get up and release some of that pent-up frustration whenever an excuse comes their way.

Move on or move over, that's my suggestion. Axl will never bow to corporations, let alone disheartened fans. Spending one's life getting worked up because one doesn't get what one expects with them (or any other musical entity) is a bit of a waste, wouldn't you say?

As for the performance, some of it was bad on Axl's current standards, some (like the one below) serviceable. Wasn't a Rock In Rio level debacle, just a lesser show than usual. Does that warrant a mopping to accommodate the moods of the few at the expense of the many? I don't think so.

Do other singers really rehearse when they're not on tour?

Generally no, they rest their vocal chords as much as possible.

It's not true. They don't sing and run for 2 and a half hours every day in their living room, right, but they do practice. Most of them have a teacher a few times a week and they practice on their own the other days.

That's what I thought. Axl's never been a consistent singer, and now he's getting up there. It is what it is, but I don't think stretching his chords further with tons of rehearsing is going to help it. As usual he'll improve as the shows go on.

Also, it's far less noticeable if you're actually at the gig.

They do a few weeks before the tour starts to get their voice in shape. Itgs called rehearsals
