Re: Axl at the Golden Globes afterparty
I notice a number of distinct things:
1. Since around 2002 he's seemed shakey in his mid range. Not his super-deep bass notes, and not the super high stuff. The middle stuff - it's like he struggles to work out which of his voices (speaking of tone) to pitch it in and it kind of alternates. The effect of this is at times he sounds like he's using a weird voice or sometimes like he's doing an impression of the tone he used on the record. But it's almost overdone - like when people mock Axl by mimicking his traits. This has been apparent somewhere in the show in most shows of the new era. Sometimes it's only a line or two in a song. It's like his voice has a problem and he fights to keep it under control.
2. There's been almost no rasp since 2010. Or at least less rasp compared to 2006 levels.
3. Recently he doesn't seem to have the breath control or power that he has had at times in the past. The jungle screams are shorter and lower pitched than they were in 2006, and so are the LALD growls in the middle, and the TWAT screams were also flatter and less powerful than in 2010.

Gotta admit, i'm pretty much there as well. The other day I said to somebody that Slash actually carried on the GN'R legacy more than Axl (and I felt like I was dirty and needed multiple baths).
The fact that peers of his like a Chris Cornell & Eddie Vedder from that generation have done what they've done make it even more glaring. Hell, even Baz got his shit together and got his ass out there.
If it's still Axl you're on, I don't get that thinking.
The dude is finally out, showing his fatness everywhere. Talk shows, Golden Globe, concerts. He's never been more in the eyes of the media and has toured extensively the past years.
If anything, I'd say he was done in 2005 when still nothing was out, nothing was heard and nothing was ever talked of. That was dark.
This is McDonalds on overdrive and the dude is far from over. He'll be here.
Question is, will it be relevant? Doesn't bloody look like it.
Being irrelevant in LA and being over... are the same thing.

Re: Axl at the Golden Globes afterparty
seems to be done from an artistic standpoint...no interest in doing anything different. However, I love the fact he is actually out pimpin around in all his raw glory. He looks like a fat, happy lunatic. Good for him....but his mark on pop culture was done in 1991. We have to accept the fact that Gnr is over....OVER....and move on. Axl surely has moved on and is pretty much resting on his laurels.
Completely agree. I do wish we could get some stuff from the vault though. Maybe some Blu-ray releases of pro shot concerts like Ritz, Paris, etc. And the grand daddy of them all: the UYI documentary that never saw the light of day.

Re: Axl at the Golden Globes afterparty
It will never happen. Anything that promotes Slash, or further links him to GNR, will be kept buried.
It will happen someday. Just a matter of whether Axl will be alive when it happens or not.

The ONLY thing I would prefer over new material.
Add another seat to the table on that one. That would be almost if not better than new material for me.
Re: Axl at the Golden Globes afterparty
Just re watched axl on jimmy Kimmel and damn he has fallen off big time just since then. He looked pretty good on Kimmel
I haven't seen any recent pics/videos of him so watching those two clips were a shock to me. His face looked really fat for whatever reason.
