Will Axl's voice be enhanced on Chinese Democracy?

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Let me guess, Estranged is the main one....? 3,000 is a lot.? Yup, it is not hard to tell the era at all.? I would still love to have a DVD version of the 88 Ritz Show.? It is the definitive Guns show, that I have seen anyway.? My VHS version is just so shitty.? But I agree.? Axl's voice was different a lot of the times.? I think that is what made it so great and unique.

The first part of estranged is axls redone vocals the 2nd part I think is from the UYI tour.

Listen example The Blues soundboard 11.22.02 - Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh, PA ...he sings like good old days

Well, I think he does sound different now, more like ealry Axl, less rough.  I also think he can put on that roughness but probably doesn't want to go through what he went through on the UYI tour, where he complained about his throat after most shows (or so I'm told).   I think the biggest difference is the ear piece he now uses, which he never used back in the good old 90's.   Things like that can make a huge difference to a singer, because it's more like being in the studio if you have your own mix direct in to your ear on stage, and so being more aware of his voice, he's probably taking it more easy without even noticing it...Also, when singers such as Axl scream their tits off, there's more chance of staying in tune...

In my opinion, Axl's voice hasn't changed much over the years. As someone has already posted, Axl has had in the past nights were his voice was amazing and some other nights in which his voice wasn't that great.

Either if you take as an example his early years or the latest ones, he has better and worse nights, like everyone has a better  or worse day, in terms of excellence, at their own jobs. Sure he wasn't incredible at the vma's in 2002, as a lot of people think, but in general he was great during the short aborted tour. And by the way, either if he sings great, good, average or poorly (which doen't ussualy happen), he's the best by far at what he does.

agree cocaintongue

filters and tweaking etc will only contribute to the album i think but i hope they also they put somethin raw in the vocal recordings like rocker from hollywood rose. Some pure basic axl-to-mic raw, real energy!!!

The vocal track in one in a million capture it\ hope to hear stuff like that too

Will his voice be enhanced on CD... of course. Because every artist in the studio does.

Reverbs, delay, eq's, Sometimes autotune.....  I owe a studio so i know.

But lets get one thing straight you can't polish a turd... Axl's voice will be great on CD

I don't think it will be enhanced, but will have some pretty interesting effects added for nuance.

Axl's voice - on a good or bad day is different now to the 90's Axl, in my opinion.   It's somehow thinner, less powerful - not that that's a good or bad thing, it's just down to your taste.  Axl is Axl, it's always going to piss on most other singers, but there is a difference.  Like I said earlier though, I think he could still do it the old way more or less.  One thing that I think would help him a bit, is if he went to all rehearsals, but I heard somewhere that the band play without him, and when you have a gap, it can take a while to get back into the swing of things.

Judging by those studio clips from the Boston promo, yes his voice probably will be tweaked somewhat.

[LaXl]

Everyones voice gets fucked around with in the studio...Anyway, knowing Mr. Rose, there's going to be at least 6 vocal tracks for every song, so it's gonna be cool! 

[Lord Kayoss]

Anytime someone references Axl's voice being shot or 'not what it used to be' are basing it off the VMA's performance in 2002.? His voice was fine that night - he just got a little too excitied and ran around way too much.? It was his first time on live MTV in ten years with that very fact being the key - he doesn't have quite as much of the explosive energy and stamina he had a decade ago.? His voice is fine but will probably have some vocal effects on certain songs on the new album as he sees fit.
