    i used to loev GNR, but that was just disappointing to see. the worst is the knockin on heavens door. oh man. he sound like shiite. axl's stage presence has always sucked and still does. it should have been changed to welcome to the matrix the way he was dressed. poor axl, the only thing good i can say is that he looks like hes been working out, hes pretty big now.

    i will still buy the album, if it ever drops., just wont see em live, dont think they are allowed here anyway.

    hes a selfish prick. he should quit now.

    He needs to get some tips from Cornell on how to rescue a voice from oblivion, he sounds like utter shit. I would be pissed off if I paid to see G'N'R and the only original member couldn't even pull off his parts.

    I think he sounds great. You guys have to remember that it's just a monitor mix. You can't even fully hear the band playing. Here's what Axl sounds like when he's mixed in with everybody else.

    Why would you need to hear the band better in order to hear what his voice sounds like? He does sound better in that link to Welcome To The Jungle though.

    I listened to a couple and Axl sounds fine, alot of people on here just hate Axl and his voice to begin with so of course they aren't gonna like this. Axl sounded horrible on the '02 tour, he sounds alot better now, not as good as before but still decent live.

    Um if you actually read my post, I said on how to recover a voice - you listen to Audioslave live in Cuba, and see how awful he sounded back then, then listen to what he's doing now, it's nothing short of remarkable. Axl's range is nowhere near what it used to be. Oh and his solo album might not be all that, but at least Cornell doesn't spend over ten years making a record!

    Well I'm not gonna say the record was amazing, cause it really wasn't, but I respect him for at least trying something different. It's that same dedication to experimentation that resulted in Superunknown, so when it does work, it works very well. Plus Cornell is keen to keep on moving forward, and not waste his years, unlike Axl who's just pissed ten years up the wall.

    Axhole sounds like crap, even if the mix is off. I used to love this band, this idiot ruined it. Look what a big joke he has become! The laughing stock of the rock world. Axhole!

    its the monitor mix...thats not what the audience heard.

    That only came out of Axl's monitor and no one elses, but judging by his monotone in singing a smart monitor engineer would have turned down the vox in the mix to get more of a preformance out of axl. But Axl probably demanded not to turn down the vox in the mix so he could make sure that he could hear himself and make sure he was in tune.

    Either that or he had a sore throat/cold and had to have the vox up in his monitors to make for certain that he was singing in tune.

    Turning up the vox in the monitor mix can cause the vocalist to think that he is singing to loudly and that he needs to take down the singing a notch and it can cause for the monotone singing.

    Q:whats the difference between the monitor engineer and a toilet seat?

    A: A Toilet Seat only has to deal with one asshole at time.

    I don't know about THAT dude. If that album does ever get released, that laughing stock is going to be laughing all the way to the bank, because it is going to sell pretty good, I think.

    On topic, these videos were tough to watch, indeed

    Axhole indeed and I agree 100% with what you say.
    Egos and $$$ prevented them from becoming anything more than a two record band. Now its a freakshow.

    What a shame cause they were so freaking good back in the day.

    The people who buy high school musicals are not going to be the ones buying this thing though. This thing is going to appeal to many rock fans across all ages. You don't like it, cool, but considering what kind of music he's produced in the past and based on what I've heard from a few of the tracks leaked so far, I do know that he'll sell at least 1 album!

    ok yeah, so maybe I went a lil overboard saying cornells solo effort was "shit", like there are one or two ok tunes on it but Id trust in axl to put out some thing better, though I wouldnt be surprised if there never is another record.His voice is ok on the songs that have leaked over the past few years, live he will struggle with his songs.

    I don't think axl live voice is really much worse now than it is here:

    That's just what axl sounds like.
