Billy Joel (ft. Axl Rose) - Live and Let Die MSG Live 7/25/24

[@elleshak621]

Imagine: 1- you’re seeing Billy Joel at MSG 2- for the last time 3- Axl Rose joins 4- for multiple songs 5- included AXL/DC throwback 6- the whole thing rocked What a lucky audience. Thanks for sharing!

But let's be honest compared to others Axl has aged really poorly

[@Lucianosantororomeo]

He sing very well here, chinese democracy clean voice style, what is the problem??.... Axl is the GOAT

[@kennethpierson82]

​@@Lucianosantororomeohe lost a little on his fastball, however he isn't just a singer. He's an elite showman and he leans on that mainly

[@SisterMidnite]

I just hope he is healthy, happy and enjoying life. Great to see him singing again and on stage.

[@xerxes2044]

again? hes been back with gnr since 2016 lol

As a 45 year old huge Billy Joel fan…. And even bigger GNR fan… this is breathtaking and a dream come true honestly. 😊

[@acerjuglans383]

Lol breathtaking

[@lifesabitch8012]

I'm 63 and agree 💯 percent!

[@readmelancholystrumpetmaster]

A dream come true, huh? Okay.

[@dave-jk6en]

I’m a big fan of Axl, Billy and Mickey Mouse so think how excited I was seeing this performance

[@EmmaKnightleyNo1]

It's a dream I never even dreamt of dreaming...😅 Surreal. Surprising bliss ❤

[@LN-Lifer]

Here's the thing about Rose He could simply sing every song in a lower register and still sound fantastic But he doesn't do that. Instead he says f*** it. I'm going to go for it I have more respect for the man who tries and fails than the man who plays it safe That's rock n roll bitches

[@coryondreako8227]

That's exact why he can't sing anymore 😂

[@tomflorio3639]

So you're saying he failed

[@jimestooper1480]

I'd have more respect for an artist that is always learning and improving technique to give the crowd a worthy performance, no matter the register. That's greatness, not "just going for it" and sounding like a clown. Elton John is a great example. He sounds incredible at his age in a lower register, and the crowd doesn't care.,

[@LN-Lifer]

@@jimestooper1480 I see your point But you're describing Axl Rose Have you not heard all the interviews with all the current members talking about the hours and hours of work he puts in each day? I'm not saying it's done him a lot of good (or maybe it has and it could be so much worse) but he definitely puts the work in

[@ykattar811]

​@@LN-Lifer Of each song ?? Come on now. one minute of 3 songs is well enough to still have memories and being able to enjoy it without being a burden robot with a LED screen open in their faces for others arounds. Learn to enjoy a concert. You won't check your blurry shaky videos anyway except for the same 2-3 so be at least mindful of that and logical about it.

[@thomastarwater2989]

I almost didn’t recognize Axl Rose. He was dressed good and appropriately and looking fine, and he was still in fine voice. And he got to sing with Billy Joel.

​@@LN-Lifer no lol

[@LN-Lifer]

@@Rog2theD to each his own Let's agree to disagree

[@gremlinsuss9351]

He sounds a lot clearer than last year. Pretty similar to how he sounded in the early 2000s.

[@rios39]

I think resting the voice and perhaps working on training it will help get him back to a good baseline. He’s toured… a lot!

[@garretthaines3744]

You have to take in to account that he was singing one song this night and not having to save his voice to perform an entire show. Just look at Paul Stanley performing with the Foo Fighters. He sounded great, but it would be impossible to sound that clear for an entire Kiss show.

[@rios39]

@@garretthaines3744 yes, which is one of the reasons I kind of laugh at ppl suggesting axl wont be able to create a good album. Long live concerts required preservation.

[@Mike-wn7oh]

Ahh yeah, no. But, it is what it is. Axl is a legend. But don't say he sounds like an earlier version of himself, bc that's a load of BS..

[@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457]

Na it's the guns and Roses concerts his voice gets effected by the sound of the crowd and the loud band. I heard him live 18 months ago his voice was great

[@michaelb55854]

Nice to see most of the comments from the Billy Joel fans were positive because usually there is a bizarre agenda to criticize everything Axl. perhaps it due to the fact that Billy Joel fans are grown-ups and I am a Billy Joel fan so I can only imagine that it was a pretty special night at MSG

Axl is actually getting some voice back. Going back to when he came back singing to now I can hear the improvement, he is training that voice back into stage shape with the touring. Good for him, not easy to get back to your 20s at 50s but he is pulling off again. His smoking almost took away his singing like it almost did to Liam Gallagher and it took him years to get voice back also.

[@runner2008]

[@nahiyanalamgir7056]

Remember that Axl sounds decent despite singing all the songs in the original key for ~40 years. Robert Plant, a true legend, gave up singing in the original key after a few years in his career. Axl definitely deserves more credit for his persistence.

The problem is that Axl's singing style will unavoidably suffer from aging. Unlike other rock stars, who can still sound like their 20s because their songs don't require the same range, Axl's style will unavoidably suffer from aging. regardless of that I have seen GNR 3 times in the past 8 years and hands down the best concerts I have ever been to

[@MrJamesLongstreet]

Axl needs to sing with a lower, darker pitch. If he does that, which by the way is his natural singing voice, then he will once again excell. This high pitch raspy barbwire stuff, he can't do that anymore. It's just too taxing on the vocal cords. Axl nowdays sadly sounds like Mickey Mouse when he sings.

[@KCRbandit777]

I think it's because he sings in falsetto instead of his natural singing voice.

[@virtualsnake1994]

he actually looks pretty good for 62. i've grown acostumed to the facial surgeries and they've kinda relaxed. and his weight hasn't changed that much since 2009. doubt he'll ever go back to his 2006 weight, but... good on ya axl. you've earned it.
