GnR live in Tokyo 19th Dec 09 Audio and other media thread

[jtogs]

It's official, you're from another planet. Just get to listen to Madonna who's as old as Axl. Oops, she doesn't sing live anymore. Ok, get to listen to Jennifer Lopez (10 years younger than Axl, 40-minutes shows). Oops, playback is all over the place. Ok, let's listen to Britney Spears (20 years younger than Axl). OOPS, playback, playback, playback! And you want me to blame Axl for being out of breath in a couple of songs, whereas he doesn't use playback and puts on 3-hour-and-a-half shows on his late 40s? You guys n' girls, so-called GnR fans, are the most ignorant people on earth. Just as I thought that AC/DC fans were the most ignorant ones, complaining for the fact that the setlist is the same every night and ignoring the fact that a couple of guys in their late 50s/early 60s put on this AMAZING show, consisted of 25 classic tunes. It's official, we, GnR fans, are the most ignorant fans out there. Come on all of you, let's bash Axl for giving us what we've asked for, singing everything with his best voice in the last 10 years! How dare he sound out of breath in 3-hour-and-a-half show! HOW DARE HE!

thanks for making my year with this ridicoulous post...you just snuck in at the midnight hour too....

how come gnr fans bring up age? and ear monitor crap? and slash? ac/dc? and other bands and singers?
excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse...

why is it that gnr fans can't take criticism?...it's not a bad thing..it's not hate or bashing as so many like to say....it's truth...criticism is integral, it's healthy...we as fans shouldn't let them become complacent...tell em we expect better...this out of tune, out of pitch, out of breath singing is unacceptable....why anyone thinks there is anything good or great or amazing about that is beyond me...it's embarrassing to tell people sometimes i'm a gnr fan and then play them these live videos...they look at me and laugh.....



you wanna talk age?
how come springsteen at age 60 can sing 3 hour plus shows night after night with no problem?
how come eric adams in his late 40's can sing 6 hour shows, yes 6 hour shows and have no problem?
bruce dickinson, halford, king diamond...all guys with that high pitch voice that axl so wishes he could still do....they have no problem and guess what? if they have an off night, they take full blame for it...not blame everything under the sun for their shortcomings

so dude, if you wanna talk ignorance, look no further than yourself(and maybe in the new year you can brush up on your sarcasm skills)

and have a happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you even here?

Why are you even here? 

oh boy, i was waiting for one of these responses

i criticize what i feel is wrong, therefore i must be a hater, right?.....blah blah blah

i can't possibly be a fan but also criticize at the same time!!! that is unheard of!!!!!!!!

Absolutely correct, well said, n jtogs, you havent got a clue. Go Elsewhere

....hahaha, i'll go elsewhere just because lil fanboy told me to!!!!

just like axl, his fanboys can't take criticism

i always forget on the gnr boards that you have to act like axl is the bestest ever!!!
he never makes mistakes and everything he says is gospel....

and all the fanboy arguments are always so well thought out....."stop hating my axy waxy!!!" boo-hoo

[TOXIE]

No one said he never makes mistakes. You are just a dickhead 

[jtogs]

No one said he never makes mistakes. You are just a dickhead 

ahhh, i love how it always turns into personal insults....

just can't handle the truth it seems so it turns into an attack....oh so typical and oh so sad....

and a happy new year to you!!!!!!!!

[jtogs]

No one said he never makes mistakes. You are just a dickhead 

axy waxy makes mistakes???!!!!

how dare you sir???

he is perfect!!!!
the best singer god has ever created...the best frontman ever!!
the most professional of all!!!

are you a hater?

[FieldRose]

Axl has never sounded good live. He is a singer that has more off nights than on nights.

Age has nothing to do with it. There is many singers in and out of the rock scene that are older than Axl and sing better than him.

Why are you even here? 

People don´t have to agree on everything in here. This is a forum and last time I checked it was for discussion whether you agree or disagree and not jump on somebody if he doesnt think that everything that Axl touches is gold.

[chainsmoker]

Sometimes Axl sounds good, sometimes Axl sounds shit live.

He's never fucking boring though.

[IsaiahBerlin]

no, i'm a realist and not someone who thinks that everything axl does is "omg, the best thing i ever heard in the history of the world ever and ever, omg!!"

and i've seen em live in every incarnation...from 1988-2006 so i can speak from first hand experience
and before you get your panties in a wad, i'm not a "hater"...i'm someone who listens without prejudice...somethi ng "fans" don't always do...it is ok to be a fan and not think everything that the band you like is the most awesome thing ever...criticism is healthy and it pushes the artist or band to be better

realism is not welcomed here dude... most of the people in this forum are biased fanboys, and cant stand any criticism to axl. i listened to all the tokyo songs and axl s performance was terrible in most of the songs!! for example his "this i love" performance is one of the worst performances i ever heard from a pro rock n roll vocalist. however the fanboys here give you the most stupid reasons: his mic was fucked up, britney spears also is a bad vocalist, he is old (47 is old?), you are a hater.....

if you want to survive in this forum you must say "axl is god", anything beyond this is not tolerated...

haha i hear ya man....i've been around the forums enough to know...it just boggles my mind ... i don't get it
i love the countless excuses....they are endless and get more ridiculous and away from the point the more they talk...

it doesn't make me any less of a fan if i criticize but fanboys don't get that...

i agree with this i love...catcher in the rye was brutal as was scraped and if the world...

i honestly have never heard someone have such terrible performances consistently as him....

oh wait...axl is god!!.....*ninja*

[abaraxas]

Yeah dude I totally feel that. You can't question a single aspect of anything dealing with Axl on most forums but on the flip side...if Slash makes any music its shit and he's a terrible guitarist, except for the stuff he did in GNR. 

I'm a GNR fan, including Axl but come on the guys less than perfect, he's mid level vocalist at best just in the studio. In a Live setting he is in Vince Neil territory.
