Will Axl's voice be enhanced on Chinese Democracy?

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

We all know he doesn't have the same voice that he did years back.  There were times during the '02 tour when he sounded dead-on, but honestly, he isn't the same.  Do you guys think his voice will be tweaked a bit on CD?

well, if u listen to the late shows in 2002, then u can hear that his voice is "almost" like back in the days..! I tthink its even better! Take a look at this clip!!! This is not one of the late shows, i think. But anyway! A great part of Nightrain!!

wow, your right, he's really fucking good there!

I really doubt that it will be enhanced. No need too! His voice is as strong as ever. You can't go by damn bootlegs, the quality is very poor. I've seen him 3 times with the new band and I think its as strong as ever! Honestly it is!

[Cornell]

Wow - that just brought back memories!    I just HAVE to see them again.   OK, yeah, I just got over being pissed about the riot in Philly! 

[SON OF A PREACHER]

People forget how Axl had bad days vocally  back in the 80's as well... I have a couple of bootlegs where he just murders patience with aweful vocals ....I think he still has the same cool vocals. But sometimes they bail on him.

Did u guys remember how Axl sounded in the end of the Illusion tour?? Hes voice was destroyd! Really bad! He is much better now! Wait and see!

yeah! I love that clip too! Thats why i posted it! Axl has never changed, only followed the fasion!

I think if anything his voice should be better because as we all know he hasn't done that much touring. I think the illusion tours really fucked up his voice because of all the shows they did.  I also think it should be better because i don't think his lifestyle is as hard on his voice now as it was then.

well, no need to say more!

Maybe it will be tweaked on a few tunes like he did on Oh My God....But I don't think every song will have his voice enhanced.

What do you mean he doesn't have the same voice? I've heard him live and it sounds like the same voice to me.? And plus, no one is always "dead-on" at live shows. I'm sure a lot of singers voices are somewhat enhanced in the studio, but that's just to give it a cleaner sound.

well, i dont think that have anything to do with Axl`s voice quality! Alot of bands us this tweak type of ting thease days! Just listen to Tool - Eulogy! Maynard James Keenan is probobly one of the greatest singers inthe word... But he use the tweak voice on that track! Its just t make the song cooler!  And a bit more raw! To use that it have to fith with the other part of the song to.. and it did whit Oh My God!!

Very  true, he has had ten years rest now... I think he will do  fine..

[Dave_Rose]

I really dig Axl's new voice I think he has still got it my self and he sounds really good on Nightrain!!!

[Sino-lieS]

Its very true about Axl's voice....it is just as good now as ever. The later shows of 2002 showed he definitely still had it.

[HoldenCaulfield]

IMO, he sounded as good in '02 as he ever did, but that's just my preference. I'm sure there'll be some tweaking, there is with pretty much everyone. But I'll be damned, in that clip, the first 10 seconds, you'd think that was Axl in the early part of the UYI tour...

[dave-gnfnr2k]

He will sound fine, just listen to the 2nd part of the big daddy SCOM, that is how he will sound on the album.

[Gunner80]

You all have to remember there's no stress in the studio like there is being on stage. I believe he'll have no trouble sounding great without studio magic.
