I haven't really listened to the IEM thing except clips, but that bootleg should make it clear if they use a click these days or not. If not then he probably just needs drums louder in his IEM.
I'll admit I haven't seen or heard much from this tour but the bits I have heard sound awful.
It’s tough to please everyone. People have been complaining he can’t hit the high notes anymore and should sing with his lower voice, so he does it and now that sucks? Can’t win with everyone. Actually thought his voice sounded good. Sure he was rushed and behind at the beginning but cut them some slack. First time ever performing the song. Axl probably hasn’t sung it in 30+ years.
I applaud them for switching things up a bit and playing some different songs on this tour as opposed to the same set list every night. I haven’t been following it super closely either but that’s how it seems to me.
Didn't mean to trigger you. I'll pretend it sounds good then lol
You don’t have to pretend to like anything. It’s called differing opinions. I’m allowed to have one too, right?
Such is life, some people are going to be super critical and point out every negative detail. Others will look past the obvious flaws and say everything is great and many will fall somewhere in the middle. I like how they’re switching things up a bit and are seemingly ready to release a new song or more. I’m not sure that would be enough to get me back at a live show. Tickets are so damn expensive and up until now I’ve seen that show twice already. Meaning the show hasn’t changed that much since I last saw them. If they make enough tweaks though, they could sway me.
We all know what shape Axl’s voice is in these days. If you buy a ticket or listen on YouTube you shouldn’t be surprised. I think he looks better than he sounds. So he’s got that going for him. I’ve kind of accepted that he’s never going to sound like 1993 Axl or 2006 Axl or more recently Axl/DC again, I think we all have. That’s all I’m saying.

At this point I’m more interested in hearing SMKC perform seldom played GN’R songs than GNR, because Axl just ain’t cutting it.
Sure it’s better to hear him to sing in a lower key, but are we supposed to ignore that he’s completely out of time for most of the song…?
Time for them to stop touring and focus on the studio. Hopefully there’s still some magic left in the tank.
Are there other examples where he’s out of time or are we basing it off of 1 song they performed for the first time ever? I’m not saying he sounds great but I’m not ready to condemn him over being behind performing a song he’s never sung live before or possibly even rehearsed with the band.

#24 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl: I would play the new songs but haven't received a marketing plan » 41 weeks ago
This has to be for an album. There’s not been a marketing plan for the other singles
You’d think so. They’ve just been dropping singles here and there with little to no mention or follow up and now he wants to know where the marketing plan is?
It seems that June 6th is for Atlas and maybe Nothing as well? That wouldn’t seem to be worthy of a full scale marketing plan the way they’ve been going but maybe that’s the start of something larger in the end, a full album, etc.
This video is from a few weeks ago so it could be old news now. But it mentions a full LP of 13 songs recorded & ready to go. 5 reworked CD era songs, 5 completely new songs, and 3 covers including Benny & The Jets. Absurd, Hard Skool, Perhaps, & The General have been released. If we get Atlas & Nothing that would be 6 & we’ve also heard Monsters. So if there are only 5, which 2 wouldn’t make the cut?

People are paying for soundcheck bootlegs now? Is that where we’re at? Don’t get me wrong, I’ll gladly listen to it. But we are a desperate bunch.

Venue change in Bangkok from an outdoor stadium to an indoor venue that holds less than 4K due to reasons beyond their control. Poor ticket sales? Someone on HTGTH did mention there was bad weather expected but do shows get moved to drastically smaller venues due to weather?

If timing was their thing, which obviously it’s not, they’d release “Monsters” sometime in the fall. Not that it matters I guess, but I don’t understand why they continue to hold onto that one when most people have heard it and had a widely positive reception. Now you can freely find it on YouTube, etc. They used to pull those videos down but now they don’t seem to care.
#28 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Album thread 2025 by sp1at » 43 weeks ago
June 6th they have a show in Portugal. It could happen. I’d expect a song though and not an album/LP. If Duff is to be believed “Nothing” is next in line.
#29 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Album thread 2025 by sp1at » 43 weeks ago
I just listened to the demo again. It is exactely how i remembered it: complete rubbish. I‘m curious wether this really turned into something listenable or Axl thinks it was already a masterpeace..
There has to be more to it than we heard in that demo. It’s just Axl singing the same two lines repeatedly, no guitars, a drum loop, and some keyboard. I’d be interested to see what it became because the demo is so basic. Admittedly this is probably the one demo with lyrics that I quickly forgot about so I can’t say I have high hopes for it, but it has to have grown from what we’ve heard.

Clearer view here with titles de-coded. If they’re correct, Tell No Lies. It does kind of look like Tell Me Lies though. Can’t really see them covering that song unless they change it up quite a bit. That song is actually called “Little Lies” though so might be just a coincidence.
I like seeing Breakdown, but no Monsters?
