Axl sounds incredible in that 'Out Ta Get Me' clip.

That's AXL/DC Axl in that clip.  For all you folks that insist we never get *that* guy.

You got him.  He's right there in that clip.

WELCOME HOME STEVEN!      

I love the youtube videos with Steven performing, Axl introducing him, and the crowd reacting to him.  And the photo of Axl and Steven fist bumping is priceless!  So great to see the boys FINALLY putting that negativity aside, piece by piece, show by show.  Even if brief, the addition of Steven last night was another step in doing that.  Life's too short fellas!  Let's see that Appetite lineup rock!  I wouldn't expect Steven to show up everywhere, but just giving him those songs made his day, and made ours too.   That's awesome.

That is fucking cool.     You can also see the huge smile on Axl's face when he and Steven fist bump, as well as earlier, the big smile that Axl gives to the huge ovation Steven received.  And in other videos, you see Slash and Duff both hug Steven after "My Michelle".

When you've been a fan of this band since the original lineup days, seeing them finally interact like this again is as precious as the music.

Great seeing him back up there playing with GN'R if only for a minute.  I've never seen Izzy live, here's hoping he shows up July 19th

Steven looks healthy and happy.  Good for him.  I hope he continues to enjoy health and happiness.

I'm no drumming expert, but Adler seemed to be really good, didn't he?  Does he just play AFD in his basement every single night?  Those drums were perfect, even the cymbals at the beginning of My Michelle, just spot on.

Steven has been playing those songs with his solo bands for years.  And yes, he really is that good.  If the band continues to feature Steven playing a few songs per night, I hope they keep changing them up.  Somebody said it earlier in the thread, Steven is insanely great at "Rocket Queen" -- hopefully we'll get to hear that one!

Don't know if this has been posted yet, OTGM/My Michelle.....sound quality is poor, but it shows good view of Steven on the video screen having the time of his life.

Also, when the video pans the crowd in the beginning, take note of ALL THE GN'R shirts being worn....reference that stupid fucking rule mentioned in another thread.


pftt...

I love that my "rule" question is generating so much passionate response!!

In the comments part of the Cincy entry on setlist.fm, it states, "First Guns N? Roses live performance with Axl, Slash, Duff, Dizzy, and Steven Adler onstage together since 7 April 1990 at Farm Aid." Did Dizzy really perform at Farm Aid?

Wow, Steven looks like yesterday. Very cool!

You got him.  He's right there in that clip.

Yeah we got him. Amazing indeed.

Unfortunately he doesn't sing like that the whole show. I'm not saying he should do the rasp on November Rain for example. But at least on the heavy ones (YCBM, Civil War, Paradise City, etc.)

[McKenzie]

Anyone noticed that My Michelle was played faster?

Honestly... i know you're not complaining..

I just dont understand how people can be critical at this point... this time last year we had nothing. Now we have this.. and from what i have seen over these shows.. Axl has just gotten better and better.

Lets not forget.. hes 54.. not 24... hes made it clear that hes had a voice coach the last 12 months.. and hes got to be careful about blowing his voice out.. what we are getting is excellent considering all the variables at this point.

Just my opinion.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I think the shows have been amazing so far, and I'm dying for them to come down to Brazil

But I was just wondering. If Axl is capable of pulling vocals like that on this version of Out Ta Get Me, WTTJ, and ACDC, why doesn't he try to do that on the whole show?

Not complaining at all, but this is a discussion board, there's no point of coming here if we're not going to discuss about stuff like this.

Dirty Deeds, Touch Too Much, You Shook Me all Night Long....all these songs Axl sang just like he sings other GNR songs...with a  little rasp and using his chest voice most of the times. There are songs that are tough to sing, different keys, variations in the same song...most of ACDC songs are flat and easy for Axl to rasp.

I'm no expert on this, but I have a feeling that GN'R songs are more demanding to sing with a raspy voice than AC/DC songs.

Maybe a singer here could back this claim, but I think many GN'R songs have greater variations in pitch throughout the melody of a song, and keeping the rasp going though that is a hard thing to do.

yeah all good..

im not an expert on the rasp thing.. but my take on it is this..

I think he just has to save himself.. an maybe a 2.5 hour show singing like that isnt possible anymore.. i dunno.. so he just inserts into the spots of the songs or the songs that he feels needs it the most.. and where he feels he doesnt need it. and the song doesnt suffer.. he just doesnt do it.

like i said.. thats just my guess though.

[nalafej]

I'm a rasp expert. Studied at MSU. Axl has been preserving his rasp by using different tones in the biggest GNR hits like Sweet Child and Nov Rain so that he can nail Out Ta Get Me every night. That is what I've been able to diagnose from the youtubes.
