What a tough song to sing live like on the studio recording, so impressive.

As an audio engineer and an attempted singer for the past 20 years: 100% agree. This song is nuts, but even shit like Paradise City and Sweet Child of Mine - the classics - his vocal lines are like fucking vocal exercise bootcamp!! I have a theory as to why perhaps Axl had problem with attendance and being late to his shows, and I think I even read about him alluding to this - the times he was late or didn't show was because he was having a "bad vocal day". Any singer knows what I'm talking about: around maybe once a week or two (your mileage might vary), we'll get an entire day where you just can't stay on pitch and/or you just can't hit those high notes. For me, it's more of a pitch thing. I can tell within the first few minutes of singing for the day that this particular day is FUBAR. And so with him being that much of a perfectionist, he knew the vocals would be shit for those shows and that he wouldn't be able to hit half of those notes. So he delayed or cancelled - leading to shitshows (metaphorically speaking lol) like riots, and his reputation. It seems he's gotten a lot better with his attitude and attendance. Though I do also have a nagging suspicion that he might be on some type of an opiate or benzo - or just maybe drinking a lot before going on stage the past 7 years or so. I could be completely wrong about both my theories - especially the one about him maybe being on something lately. Regardless, Axl Rose is still one of the best frontman and possibly one of the best rock singers of all time. Of course that's all subjective to a point, but still.

[@rebellemoermin6128]

Nice!!!

[@SisterSeventies]

Did you go both nights? I went on 13 Oct, fantastic night, Axl's voice was amazing, on top form. We were in Block 106, you look much closer. Good quality video btw.

[@Malachiaya]

Has he ever done the insane high note live? There's zero covers out there of people doing it and I haven't seen any videos of Axl doing it live :/

[@BTBAM819]

That high note is SO fucking incredible. Its one of the best vocal parts I ever heard.

[@zaynekvam9404]

He’s hit that note a few times during live performances of there was a time. He also hits a higher note during the 2006 mtv awards (A5) in welcome to the jungle intro.

[@siraxlrose5659]

Yeah, once in Japan I believe there is recording

[@Lifelong_Lesson]

@@BTBAM819 That, my friend, is an F#5: 5th fucking octave. Which is the same as the 14th fret on the high E string on a guitar... Axl's a fucking maniac.

[@vincentriverdavis6269]

The video quality is good but the audio is shit.

[@barry1369]

[@matthewhigson1232]
