He's been spotted.......

[JAEBALL]

This is just too weird for words...

Haha agreed. It's fun to think about.

[Thorned Rose]

It would be cool to see him sing some Ac Dc, but I don't like it.

Focus on getting in tip top singing shape. His last shows with Gn'R were very average vocally. nothing special

If anything, he gets better once he's got some shows in him. Think of the AC/DC shows as Axl building up to top form for GN'R... haha.

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah I guess. I mean just him doing stuff is good. I really want this Gn'R tour to kill it ya know?

Just really want that 2006-07 Axl back..

I disagree, I was actually in Attendance at the last GNR shows in Vegas 2014 and they were exemplary and memorable, he sounded great.

6-6-2014 show was unbelievable.

I want the 1972 Mick Jagger back.....

That's probably unrealistic.

I just want an Axl I don't have to make excuses for.  To tell people not to trust their own lying eyes and ears and take my word its awesome.  That's a laugh line outside these forums.

Also never one that had to be uttered on the 06-07 or 09-10 tours.  Somehow, some way...video clips were completely reliable then.

Starting in 2011, said clips could no longer be trusted.  Hmm...wonder why?  Must have been one of all too frequent times technology degraded over time.  That's all I can figure.

I've seen Axl 9 times since 2002, the music was so loud and the vocals were mixed so low that you could hardly tell that anything was wrong.  Only on slower songs like November Rain it was overly obvious.  I can imagine people coming home and hearing the same thing on you tube with maybe the vocals a little clearer, and thinking 'hey I don't remember it that way!'.  But I've never understood them going 'youtube clips are unreliable!'.  That's just ridiculous.

[jamillos22]

Exactly. Axl?s voice changes from tour to tour, or at least era to era. And it?s quite a mystery, because it?s not just necessarily worse as he is getting older ? it was actually getting better and better from 2002 to 2010. I see no reason why we should pretend that he sings the same way all the time. This is a fan internet forum, right?

Agree with all of that.

The second a clip goes up where he sounds iffy, you can't swing a dead cat and not hit 10 people here that will tell you not to trust it.  Yet if a clip goes up where he sounds great, suddenly, you can go ahead and trust that.

If you think I'm just pulling this out of my ass, I will direct you to the most recent touring.  The clips from South America were a horror show.  We were told to pay them no mind, because they don't tell the tale.  Mere months later, there is a clip of him doing 'Prostitute' from the 6-6-14 show, and he really does kill it.  Yet, somehow, that second clip lacked those qualifiers that you should not trust what you hear and that it was inaccurate.

Its just such a transparently comically flawed argument.  I can't imagine any of these people play poker.

I would say in 2002 it was more different than it was bad.  It was not what we were used to.  But he was still hitting all the notes.

Definitely, but it did sound weird, and the rasp was mostly gone. 2006 was a huge comeback, and 2010 - when I thought it could not be any better - it actually got even better, at least to me.

[Thorned Rose]

Take it easy people... wow so many angry people on here.

His vocals being average are still good. I just want him 10 years ago. Probably not going to happen, but who knows. He was in great physical shape then. He is getting older, so its whatever. Just glad he's doing stuff

[JAEBALL]

Oh no please not the youtube how does he sound argument right now....(Youtube IS reliable)


BUT This is too exciting for any of that nonsense.

[D-GenerationX]

I actually expect him to be ready to go in a few weeks.

Why I think that, I'm not entirely sure.  I just can't fathom that he won't be ready to roll for something this high profile.

[jarmo]

Why does every topic have to be Dead Horse material for some of you?

Same shit over and over again.

Two plus weeks until Las Vegas!

[Thorned Rose]

Nah, I was just saying that I don't really want him doing Ac/Dc shows when there's the most important tour in 20+ years coming up. Ya know?

He is older, and his voice isn't as good as it used to be, but it is still good. I would rather him just take it easy and come in killer. I want this to be incredible. Especially for newer fans that aren't familiar with Gn'R.

Him doing ACDC doesn't sound like him. Hard to think he'd do a whole 10 shows in someone else's band as a guest. Who knows. It would be cool I guess. As long as it doesn't screw with Gn'R stuff who cares.

I actually thought he sounded great on 'Whole Lotta Rosie' and 'Riff Raff' from the past few years.

A whole show of it though, that can't be good on the pipes.

Who figured Brian Johnson would lose the hearing before he lost the voice?

[jamillos22]

I just hope the first show will be in Vegas, not an acoustic set somewhere. It needs to be big. And on TV. Acoustic shows can follow later.

Would be a hell of a memory for anyone lucky enough to be there though.
