Guns N’ Roses Perhaps - Live in Pittsburgh August 18, 2023 (First Live performance)

Pittsburgh PA - Perhaps- Guns N’ Roses - first live concert performance of song. August 18, 2023. Sorry not the best seats this time.

[@dylanhimes1514]

I’ve been guilty of bashing Axl’s higher range, but you can hear him try his ass off and isn’t hiding behind any sort of auto tune or backing track. For that alone he deserves major respect, and I’m sure he’ll be able to pace himself better as he plays it live more!

[@cherobinson6371]

Or the auto tune was acting up?

[@nicolaslovito64]

Maybe he should try sticking it with a deeper voice. It works really great

[@rvdecw]

Great video, not bad for the first time singing it live. I think Axl will get better once he figures out which parts work better for him to sing high or low live.

[@GustavoBenicio-ly4ow]

Concordo com você!

[@thabudmaster]

it does sound like he's trying to figure it out. Theres such a big difference between his 2 sounds & it seems like when he switches he looses his voice for a second or 2. Still sounds like he's struggling a bit but I think he's getting better

[@jamesriver3745]

he needs to sing it in his low voice, just like the released version....don't know why he is trying to hit the high notes in the verses. But when he sings low, he nails it.

[@diegoromero7525]

I absolutely agree with you. Same happened with HardSchool, it's just a matter of time and auditive work.

@@dereksaunders5955 I love love love GnR but being defensive about comments over Axl’s voice just exposes how true it is. He sounds embarrassingly terrible at some shows right now. I’m the one who made the comment he sounds better here, but honestly it’s still not good. It’s just not. Fans making up age excuses, Steven Tyler still rips every show. Maynard from Tool is just as old and sounds great live. Because they make adjustments and accommodations to avoid embarrassing themselves. Axl for some reason insists of performing in a way he’s no longer capable of and won’t adjust to his body now. They are ripping fans off playing so many shows now, every now and then you’ll see a show where Axl actually sounds decent and you realize if they would just play less, he wouldn’t sound so terrible most nights. They are playing lots of really long sets right now and it’s coming at the expense of embarrassing Axl and ripping off their fans.

@@forgettablelisaThey should have been using the pandemic period of no touring to record an albums worth of material whether new or not so he could at least sound good in his lower range. No idea why they still insist on playing these overlong setlists.

[@jimcanwin]

Absolute legends. Axl's vocals are raw, always were. It's a process of working out how best to sing in live performances. I still remember my first time listening to GnR was 1987. I was 9 years old, blew my mind, and still does to this day. Can't wait for new material. ❤

[@hanzooo1]

if you pay attention, in 2 moments between the choruses in the middle and at the end of the song, axl uses drivers and that proves that he is capable of using them, he doesn't use them by choice, it certainly must require an effort on his part, it doesn't make any sense what happened in this performance that he used it under the conditions in which he has been performing, he reaches the high notes even without drivers and this indicates that he still has vocal range and contradicts the version of he "lost his voice" and honestly I think his voice is clean it is simply an option adopted by him.

[@gracengragg2730]

I've said this for a long time. His voice isn't gone it's a choice he's making to sing clean . He can turn it on like q switch when he wants to. I think it's just easier for him to sing clean

[@maya-lf4tj]

@@gracengragg2730exactly! he’s using his clean voice because lets be fr, he’s been singing for over 40 years and the constant rasp damaged his vocal chords and he chooses to use the clean voice because he doesnt want to damage them as much anymore. he also sounds sooo much better live, i saw them last month and they were spectacular, his vocals were really good, especially for his age

[@furiousg3orge]

@@gracengragg2730 You are correct. People are under the impression that Axl can’t sing because we haven’t had truly new music since 2008. The rock the rock track he did for looney tunes proves that Axl is a studio gangster, which is fine at his age but it’s just maddening that he won’t release at least some of mountains of music that must in the vault by now (or somehow can’t release it if Geffen is the real problem)

[@gracengragg2730]

@@maya-lf4tj Yep. I think it's harder to hit the high rasp notes and as you said it can damage his vocal chords so he chooses the falsetto clean voice . Uses that vintage axl power when he wants to show off .

The sensible thing to do would be to have Duff, Dizzy and Melissa take either the "you're all alone" bit or the "Got a lot more than I bargained for" bit, and sing the response, rather than trying to sing the *whole damn thing* himself.

[@StephenGraves]

I love GNR!! Grew up listening to them. Im 55 years old . Im no doctor but if Axl were to lose some weight and try to detox his lungs, he may have some wind in his pipes to help his vocals. Overall, I give his live vocals a B- and that is a solid solid compliment considering his hay day in the 90's.

[@MicEffect]

Impressive. Unfortunately he's lost what I refer to as his Chinese vocal. Which was a pretty unique octave in the early 90s post GNR. Now it's referred to as what everyone calls. Mickey Mouse. Give him credit for trying and he hits the rest of the notes perfectly. That scream at 3:55 was perfect
