What are the coolest Axl vocal effects
« on: February 07, 2007, 04:59:20 PM »
I dig the unique sounds Axl does with his voice... whether weird or wonderful (or both), very recognizable or brief and easy to miss, I always look forward to them. It's kind of his trademark, he's a unique vocal stylist, why he could never be replaced in GNR. Like, listen to:

Anything Goes - from 3.03 to 3.13 is cool, but around 3.09 it cracks me up every time because he sounds like a cockatoo.

Breakdown - 5.33-5.48 ... hear it?

And of course there's classic stuff like in Welcome To The Jungle - nananananananananananana knees...knees.

So what are other examples that stand out to you?

His 2002 Live And Let Die scream, gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it, and the scream at the beginning of the original My Way, Your Way, love that one.

Other examples: ''I knew the storm was getting closer.''
''You know I tried so hard to make you, to make you change your mind.''
''The only one in the game who's lost is you.''
''You think you've got it all locked up inside.''
''I'm on a nightrain, I guess I, I guess, I guess, I guess I'll never fucking learn.''
''I never wanted you to be so full of anger.''
''While you're breakin' down my back n' I been rackin' out my
brain
It don't matter how we make it
'Cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage
But your flaps r' wearin' thin
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
But this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers
With ridiculous demands
An you can take the pity so far
But it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
Tell me how long has it been
'Cause 5 years is forever
An you haven't grown up yet.''

Yes, the famous Owwwhhh....

Check out Back Off Bitch 0.29-0.39 and 1.47-2.00 ... stuff like this adds so much to just the lyrics imo.

I like how he sings 'sitting pretty' in TWAT and I love the opening verse of The Blues, 2006, especially 'You know I wouldn't wanna be you ohhhhohhh now there's a hell I can't describe'.  So much power!

I couldn't have described it better.

Axl has a unique voice, people say "Axl sings with his nose" no fuckin' way, 2002 axl sang with his nose. Just see any live video, look at his stomach when he sings, that's what makes him such a powerful, high-pitched singer.
He IS irreplacable, look at VR....

I'd say his best was shown in AFD, especially: Rocket Queen, damn, that song it's hard to nail. Also the YCBM part. Well, one o' the best rock singers ever.

I love how he nails that part live, without getting out of breath in the middle of it.

yeah!! 1985 - 1993 live Axl kicked so much ass, they could put Steven Tyler and freddie mercury, and I'd choose Axl (live). so full of anger

Estranged and November Rain are so underrated, they're such powerful vocal pieces. And well, Coma, it's just... fuck... I don't think any other vocalist could even get to the "What the fuck is goin' on?" part without screwing up.

The last verse of Coma is the best for me.
The part in Nightrain right before Slash's solo is pretty close too.

I love the opening verse of The Blues
I hate the beginning, but love the ending scream so much.
