I think with AC/DC Axl sounded the best he has since the late 80's.which is some achievement for a guy in his mid 50's.

For GNR from the boots I've heard, once he got settled in to the NITL tour, his voice is somewhere between 06 level and Ashba era. Which would be ok, considering age etc but now we know what he can still do it makes me want to see that level at GNR shows.

AC/DC songs are generally at a slower tempo tho ... which may be the difference why he can sound screachy on some gnr songs

1993 Axl was Fucking amazing. He could have nailed AC/DC then too. He could sing NR and YCBM then too.

I think Fortus meant Axl sounds the best he has since he (fortus) has been in the band. Not far from the truth.

I don't agree with that either.

He doesn't sing "Live and Let Die" with the power he did in 2002.

He doesn't do KOHD with the kind of power he did in 2006.

He didn't hit the high notes in TWAT like he did in 2009.

Fortus was in the band all of those tours. I guess it's just his personal opinion.

I don't mean to be an asshole, the guy is getting old, and he sounds great anyway because he's Axl. But it's NOT the best he has ever been.

He DOES sound better than he did in 2012-2014, which was a low point.

However it's hyperbole to say they've never been better.
