Axl's Improved Voice and Album release date delay

[©GnrPersia]

Vocals, the Main Reason of delay?

one of the main things which makes some doubt for me about finishing the album-by the end of this year-is definitley Axl's Voice.

And it's also makes me curious to know if Axl ever had anyone to help him on improving his vocals (specially the raspy part) during his recording sessions. nowadays his voice is somehow even better and heavier than 80s (thanks to Sebastian Bach). so It makes me think wheter if he wants to use his recent voice on tracks of the new album.



this is something that really makes me think about these days, but I really like to hear his recent voice on the new studio songs even if it leads us fans to wait another next months. however I'm sure they used lots of studio effects and technics on his Voice during ('98-'03?) recording sessions.

Not sure about the album being put back but definately agree Axl is sounding better than ever in my opinion, just an incredible voice

I think that over the last 10 years or so Axl has changed his sound over and over again. That is one thing that makes his voice so special. All of the different styles that he can pull off. Im sure he has been able to make his voice sound different many times over the years. And so saying this I believe that he has all different styles covered. The reason for the change now is because of the poor reception he got in 02 for his voice. He has come back and sounds more raw and sleazy, its difficult because people like him to sound rough and raw, but they want him to hit the high notes too. He cant always do it,. Never has been able to. Sometimes yeah...and it is magic. That is one reason I think he is such a perfectionist in the studio. He wants to get the right vocal sound for the right song. And it cant always be done in one day. It may take days of screaming his ass off or something I dont know. Maybe not even talking for days and then working on something. His voice is definately fragile. It comes and goes very easily. I dont know...I'll shut up now. What do you think?

he said 'Fall, late fall.  It'll be out!'.  redoing ALL the vocals will push the album back to early/mid next year, and then it'll be another cycle of the same-old same-old.  it's now or never for the Ax-man.

Well, a few things:

- The Boston 2002 Promo had studio samples (seconds of them) from Chinese Democracy, Madagascar, The Blues and they had a soulful rasp.

- The ending of Rocket Queen on Live Era is a studio re-record from 1999 (no debates, please) and it doesn't really sound like 2002, it's high and pretty clean though.

- Sweet Child O Mine ending from Big Daddy credits is newer vocals and they sound like the Axl who is touring now.

- Anywhere else in Live Era that was redone and isn't as obvious, I don't know.

He's always had that voice in the studio but touring...  and it started to pop up again in MSG 2002 if I am not mistaken.

he was probably not killing his voice on tour, but saving it for the album.

dude i'm pretty sure there's a Guns N' Roses version where it's in standard tuning and the first 1/2 is the old band playing it live and the second 1/2 is the new band in the studio.

I'm somehow agree with your opinion about axl has all diff styles covered but I disagree about changing voice 'cause of '02 low reception from fans. Obviously at the time he had a problem regarding his voice. the proof is VMA 2002.
