I just listened to the studio version after y'all insisted in the live premiere - and holy crap. You're right. His voice is WAY better in the studio version. The ability to fluidly move between clean and grit, the higher pitches available and the overall additional precision took it up a level. That said - I'm really glad that I was able to see the performers for my first impression. I think I have a good idea of why vocal fatigue was creeping in and I'll definitely talk about that in our next GnR analysis. Side note: I missed the legendary diphthong in the studio version. 😆

Not seen her spend so much time talking about a guitarist before. Shows why Slash is such a legendary guitarist. So melodic and soulful.

Love her comments on slash. November Rain is also a great song to show axl’s voice and one of slash’s most iconic solos

I'm not sure if anyone has explained what Slash was doing during the end of the song, yet, so here you go... He was holding the end of the guitar neck against the speaker cabinet to the get the vibration to resonate through the guitar creating a combination of feedback and infinite sustain. It's trivially easy to get the basic effect, but his use of bends and choice of notes makes it great and very distinctly Slash.

When it comes to Guns N' Roses people need to listen to the studio versions of their songs in my opinion. The live performances can range from incredible, on drugs, or terrible lol.

Slash's style choices with regard to his hair was due to his crippling stage fright. He was terrified to be in front of people while performing and never fully sought after the limelight. This is why he is one of the greatest guitarists ever. He has continued to expand the experiences he has with others, creating other groups as well as supporting those up and coming artists that would otherwise never been given the chance. Slash is amazing, personal and professional.

I think the most fun part of watching your reaction videos is the positively wonderful nerdgasm of musical knowledge meets new experiences. The sheer joy... it is infectious.

I love how expressive she is with her facial expressions and body language. Particularly during her first listen to Slash's guitar solo, where she didn't say a word, I was like "Yes, that is EXACTLY how I felt the first time I heard this as well!"

Elizabeth, the studio version of "Patience" or "Don´t cry" can show you Axl lower register... "Knocking on Heaven´s doors" live, also can show his versatile change of voices.

Slash as always experienced stage fright, so hiding behind the hair in the hat makes him feel more comfortable on stage. Fun true story about Axl. When he was younger he performed in a church choir and his range was so crazy that he would mess with the choir director and sing all different parts at different times 😄 You've got to check out welcome to the jungle because he does this really cool thing with his tongue that took me awhile to learn. When he sings Sha Na Na Na knees, he uses his tip of his tongue on the roof of his mouth, it's pretty cool you got to check it out

Welcome to a lifetime of having this solo randomly popping up in your head at least once a month.

Surprised how no one mentioned "Estranged"! Beautiful melody,excellent showcase for Axl's voice,many different guitar solos and an amazing piano solo The Tokyo live version Would be my next pick for sure

I would recommend the studio version of Welcome To The Jungle because the way Slash's and Izzy's guitars play off each other is unique. You wear headphones so you'll hear that one of them plays in the left channel and the other in the right, so you can hear the interplay between them clearly. It's a masterpiece.

Slash has actually said that he wears the top hat and big hair and sunglasses on stage because it makes him feel more comfortable. He gets a bit of stage anxiety and feeling like he has a sort of security blanket to hide behind makes him less anxious. Which... is beautiful irony because at the same time it gives him SO much presence on stage and commands so much attention. He just doesn't have to see or feel it because from his point of view he's hiding. It's kind of brilliant.

I'm surprised no one has asked for estranged . Aside from seeing his range on vocals, it's a piece of art as a song and a video .

Listen to the album "Appetite for Destruction" in it's entirety. It was their first album and it's where this song came from. Most people (fans and critics alike) consider it one of the greatest debut albums of all time. Axl does have a very nasaly style but if you want a less sharp vocal performance you can listen to "Patience" "Don't Cry" or "Civil War"

"Paradise City" official video is a great example of their live stage energy with studio vocals!!

If you want to hear more of Axl's range and technique, I would recommend analysing November Rain. His vocal abilities are showcased in this ballad. A further note, when Slash is playing the solo I always sing along. I love that it is so melodic too! Can't wait to watch your next G n R deep dive.

One time hearing that guitar lick, and you just don't ever forget it. And then there's the solo...

Absolutely, absolutely have to do their official music video standards! These are the songs that put them on top. Paradise City, really great video and Welcome to the Jungle, the first song they put out that got EVERYONE’S attention! You will find out that Axl can actually sing. He has a several octave range that I think will impress you, plus these songs just Rock! Sweet Child is very mild in comparison. GnR can really BLAST! That’s why they are so iconic. They pull out the whoop ass, much like PANTERA did. Both bands came out and just took over. No one saw it coming in both cases. The Real Deal.

I love that Elizabeth is honest about her opinion and doesn't just tell us what we want to hear.

Axl has a wild vocal range. If you listen to him speak he has a surprisingly deep voice. He uses his lower register in the song "It's So Easy", which is one of my faves.

Watching her melt a little bit on the inside during Slash's solo was a beautiful thing.

I always say a good guitar solo should be able to tell a story without words. If you can actually feel what the guitarist is feeling then it was well done. This solo has always hit home with me.

At the end Slash has his guitar up near the speaker rack to get the feedback and play off the micro phonics of the pickups of his Les Paul guitar. Its amazing how he is controlling the seemingly out of controllable tone. This must have been amazing to see live. Wow

You really should listen to the studio version of this. His voice actually has a beautiful sensitivity to it, along with the raw power.

I both enjoyed and was amused by your comments on Axl's voice and GNR. Here's a little firsthand historical perspective that hopefully, you may appreciate. Axl was vocally trained by the late, great voice coach Ron Anderson. Ron also taught Steve Perry, Adam Lambert, Adam Levine, the guys in Kiss and Great White, Janet Jackson, Adele (after her vocal surgery), among dozens of other successful singers in just about every musical gnere. Ron, himself, was one of three of the world's living Heldon tenors in his day. Those were the classical music vocal monsters who could sing Wagner, this world's most-difficult vocal music, I was told. Ron had a HUGE voice. He sounded like 3 Pavorati's singing in unison. I also studied with Ron and we became good friends. As I had had some success writing songs for a number of recording acts, Ron would frequently play me demo tapes of new bands and artists, for my input. I first heard "Sweet Child of Mine," along with "Welcome to The Jungle," "Patience," and one other (much less memorable) tune on the band's original cassette demo tape. At that time, Ron told me he had the option of either getting triple union scale for producing the vocals on what would become GNR's first album, "Appetite for Destruction," or taking points (a sales percentage), for his vocal arrangements and production work. After listening to GNR's demo tape, without any hesitation, I told Ron: "Take points. There's two Hit Signature Songs on this tape and both of them have Hit Signature Guitar licks. And 'Patience' is not a hit single, but it's still a good song." Those two hit songs were: "Sweet Child of Mine" and "...Jungle." Ron initially wasn't sold on Axl's voice. He asked me what I thought of it. I told him Axl had a very distinctive voice. I said: "He wails like a male Janis Joplin, meets Robert Plant, meets the Exorcist....this is a great identifiable rock voice. It's like hearing Rod Stewart or Joe Cocker....when you hear it you think...there's that dude." Ron chuckled at my analysis. I added: "Now in terms of Axl's longevity as a singer, well, you tell me, you're the vocal coach here." Ron thanked me for my input. But, he didn't take my advice. After Geffen Records signed GNR and the album was recorded, GNR went on tour with the Rolling Stones and Living Color. The album initially couldn't get much traction. MTV wouldn't even play GNR. Then, "Appetite for Destruction" blew up like a mega-ton bomb. "Welcome to the Jungle" was featured in the Clint Eastwood hit movie "The Dead Pool." Fueled by the initial success of that single and subsequent singles, "Appetite for Destruction" became, and remains, the best-selling maiden album OF ANY ARTIST in the history of rock, pop or any other kind of music. About 18 months later, Ron inexplicably changed one of my early-evening vocal lessons to a later time on a Thursday autumn night. He had been grooming me for a potential frontman gig with Whitesnake, as David Coverdale was going on hiatus from that band, to do a project with Jimmy Page. When I arrived at Ron's Encino Hills home, he wasn't in his usual rehearsal studio. He was somewhere in the back of his house. I could hear Ron belting out a strange, four-octave, exotic chant in unison, with another extraordinary voice, as Ron played guiding piano notes. Those two voices were singing from a low, basso-baritone register into a high stratospheric soprano range. This vocal virtuosity literally shook the walls for about an hour. After the music stopped, Ron stuck his head through the doorway. He grinned at me and said: "No, Larry, this isn't the Whitesnake meeting I've been preparing you for. There's someone whose career you've had a major influence and impact on - and you probably didn't even know it. He's been wanting to meet you for a long time. Larry Cox meet Axl Rose." Axl emerged from the shadows, looking like a freshly scrubbed, 16-year-old choir boy. Looking me straight in the eyes, he said: "Larry, Ron's told me all about you and you guys' conversations about the band and me, even the 'points thing.'" Axl complimented me on my writing and singing, which I guessed Ron had shared with him, He said: "I just wanted to thank you for believing in me as a singer, and us as a band, when we weren't even shit. Can I shake your hand?" After a warm handshake that turned into two straight guys negotiating a hug, we spent the next 45 minutes talking music. In particular, we talked about alt rock and Nirvana, which had just broken out. Axl asked me my opinion of that genre and I told him, that all I'd heard at that point, was Nirvana. I told him, that to me, their singer seemed both incredibly talented and incredibly disturbed. He laughed. I added, "I think I like this new thing, alt rock, but hey, that's not your lane. You guys are classic rockers like the Stones or Aerosmith. Just stay in your lane. Keep doing what you're doing, and there will always be a place for you in this industry." Ron beemed at us like a proud, happy father. He pointedly said: "Larry, you've just heard Axl's full vocal range. Don't ever let anyone tell you this little SOB can't sing. But for his music, I keep his voice placement in this area (pointing to his nasal cavity and forehead), so that it resonates and cuts like glass live and in the studio. That way, he stays above those power guitars and has proper support and never hurts himself." Axl and I shook hands again. We thanked one another for our meeting and exchanged goodbyes. A final observation: I've worked with a wide variety of minor and major recording artists, often behind the scenes. Few were as kind and gracious as Axl Rose. Having seen or heard most major recording artists of the past 50 years, I was always impressed with Axl's commitment to his performance, whether he was being true to his original recording or improvising, as he did in this video. Our meeting was, and remains, an unforgettable pleasant memory in my many Hollywood Music Daze. (An excerpt from Larry Cox's coming memoirs). (C) 2023. ,

This is the best analysis of Axl's voice I've ever seen, Axl is a force of nature, to me, the best frontman ever, love Axl fn' Rose!

I think it might be worthwile to compare live Axl Rose versus a studio recording. He's a great singer, but his vocal quality tends to vary quite a lot in his live releases. If you're going to look at more Guns N Roses, Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City is a must.

Fun fact: the guitar riff for Sweet Child O' Mine was never originally planned to be used in a song! Slash was just playing around for fun in the recording studio and playing this little riff over and over again. He didn't realize Axl was listening to it in the next room. Axl Rose loved the riff so much he wrote lyrics for a song, and came back the next day to ask Slash about the riff. Slash was like "huh? What riff?" and Axl explained that they were going to use it for a song. It became one of the best rock songs ever! 🙌🏻🎸⚡❤

The entire Appetite For Destruction is now considered iconic and legendary by the Rock community. The WHOLE thing is just a light your hair on fire and run through walls inspiration. It’s one of THE albums on par with anybody. It’s a true All Time Classic. Just let the whole thing roll. LOUD!!

EPIC performance!!!! Listening to these songs brings a forgotten longing to hear it and enjoy it so much!!! Hearing you break down the voice during the song presents so much that I missed and I love it even more!!💫

Now that you’ve finally opened this door you really need to do November Rain. It is a true masterpiece in every possible way. And I also bet you will see that Axl actually could sing really beautiful back in the 90’s. One of the greatest songs ever written.

One of the greatest debut albums ever, Appetite for Destruction. GnR didn't just show up to the scene... they kicked down the door and beat up the bouncer. Weird trivia: Sweet Child of Mine was a throwaway song put in just to fill out the album. The main guitar riff is based on a finger limbering exercise Slash would do. Originally, there was a third verse written that the producer cut during song production. While performing in studio, after being told to drop the 3rd verse, Axl just started singing "where do we go, where do we go now?" as a reference to "hey, what are we supposed to be singing here!?!?" lol So, a song written in under an hour just as fluff content, with lyrics that were a joke became a monster hit and a rock anthem forever. Highly recommend checking out Use Your Illusion 1 and 2, particularly Estranged, one of my favorites for great range from Axl and soaring guitar from Slash.

Best reaction EVER!! Love your channel, i absolutely love watching someone appreciate a song for what it is.💯

I haven't decided whether I like Axl's voice yet either, I've only been listening to it for about 20 years.

Slash just absolutely pours his heart out in his guitar playing and especially on the solos. Actually the solos he does in this song have always been some of my favorites. He can bring you to tears just standing there wailing on his guitar. He is truly one of a kind

FINALLY!!! “Estranged” & “Rocket Queen” live in Tokyo ‘92 and… Knocking on Heaven’s Door in Wembley are great performances to check too

The entire performance live at Tokyo in 1992 is the best of the best!!! Always gives me energy and chills!

That solo in harmonic minor gets me every single time!

When this album was released, it drove a stake through the heart of hair metal. I saw them in concert in the summer of 1988 when they played a festival in Dallas, TX. They blew all the other acts off the stage. I had heard of them, but I only knew this song. After their set, I realized they were either going to rule the rock world or implode…turns out they did both in about 5 years😆. Love your reviews. Watching you experience these hard rock songs makes me smile and remember how much I loved them when I first heard them! Keep on rocking and listening to new songs. All the best!

As a huge Axl fan, I think you chose a song that doesn't show off he's true genius. Try - 🌹 Free fallin' - Tom Petty feat Axl Rose (live) 🌹 You're Crazy 🌹 Dead Horse 🌹 Patience 🌹 You could be mine (Live Era CD) 🌹 November Rain 🌹 Knockin on heavens door (live) Axl's octave range is legendary and really deserves a deep dive into his talents.

I like Axyl’s voice. It’s different from anyone else’s voice and he makes it work. Also the fact this rock guy could write amazing, personal songs is great. Check him out at the Freddie Mercury benefit concert just after Mercury’s death singing with Elton John. That’s a wild combo. They were one of our last great hair bands in the 1990’s.

If you like Slashes singing guitar you should check out his other band Velvet Revolver. Which is basically G&R with Stone Temple Pilots singer. The song "Fall to Pieces" his guitar just sings, its excellent.

For your reference, Axl is actually a natural baritone. His tonal sound is actually kind of an extremely raspy falsetto, head voice. With astonishing support. He sings the baritone part (multi-tracked) in the beginning of the ‘Paradise City’ chorus intro. That’s his natural low voice. He sang baritone in the choir too, before his rock days.

Guns N’ Roses were such a huge part of my early Highschool years. Remember watching a full concert on tv with my mum. She loved it.

Having enjoyed Guns N Roses since high school (late '80s), I've never heard a live version of any song of theirs that sounded like I wanted it to sound. This is in contrast to my enjoyment of many other rock bands, which are often more enjoyable live. For whatever reason, GnR just found the sound better (for me) in the studio.

I grew up in a different part of the world where this music was unheard of so I never paid attention even after moving to the US. Like you, I've heard GnR on the radio but never listened until earlier this year. The guitar solo blew me away so I went out to buy a Les Paul and started learning. 9 months into the guitar world and I'm realizing how much Gibson owes Slash.

The Professor of Rock channel has a great video on this track. Evidently, the intro guitar was just Slash playing scales and skipping chords as a warm-up, and not intended to be part of a song, but the band heard it and convinced him that it should be the basis of this song, which ended up as one of their all-time hits. So one of the most iconic songs of a generation was born from slash goofing off as a warmup.

I'm a huge GnR fan... and if this was the first song I heard from them, I'd wonder why everyone loves them. You really need to listen to the studio version of this to fully appreciate his voice. Live version = 2/10, Studio version = 11/10.

“The most grounded madman”.🤦‍♀️😂 Elizabeth I LOVED your description of Axl! You’ve captured his spirit beautifully. Most grounded madman. That he is.🙋‍♀️🫶

Axl will never be known as a great singer, but no one will ever mistake he is singing

Civil War or Patience

Civil War and Estranged are great options, Axl uses most of his vocal range in those songs, solos are great and also the construction and dynamics of both songs are amazing!

I was lucky to see Axl singing for AC/DC. He was brilliant. Really invoked the old Bon Scott era, and while he was filling in for Brian, his vocals were really suited to Bon's songs. Perhaps it's that bright brass. It's a real shame that there are no good quality recordings of this Axl/DC union, because it worked very well for what was a tricky situation (a world tour scheduled and Brian losing his hearing). But this video. What a performance!

I absolutely love your reaction videos and vocal analysis of all things rocking and heavier, and when I saw this I got sooooo excited.....until I saw it was on a live version. Wish so much that it was the studio version. Maybe something to think about! :-D

Don’t cry and estranged live at Tokyo 92’ are some of the best live performances ever 🤩 Loved this vid thanks

Estranged is epic, guitar cries like a dolphin. November Rain, epic, great piano and orchestral moments, Patience, great acoustic ballad. Civil War, great lyrics and voice. Plz do em all 😊❤

The wildness of this performance, mixed in with moments of beauty is exactly why people love Guns n' Roses (and hence the name).

I was at a live concert some years ago. We, metalheads, are prone to make fun of GNR. But, well, Axl had such a voice I was...I think I never heard such a powerfull voice before. I can't really explain. It was a really great voice

Axl Rose has a range of 5 octaves and 5 semitones and he puts them all on display throughout the GNR catalog. One of the best investments of time you could ever make is to listen to the entire album of Appetite for Destruction from start to finish in a pair of outstanding headphones. It’s a masterpiece of musicianship and production. Easily the best debut album of all time.

Estranged live is a pretty great vocal roller coaster. Very underrated in the grand scheme. Also Slash is effectively trying to create a controlled feedback when he put his guitar up to his amp. To create the whaling sound.

Axl is just the best frontman ever! The look , the energy, his voice it's unique and amazing! My favourite singer in hard rock music.

LOL - i couldn't WAIT to listen to your analysis of Axl's voice... LMAO... his voice is so distinct and FUN!!!

So I binged your last 3 years of rock related reactions this past 2 weeks... And I just want to say one thing: I Love your personality, you made me realise that i've lost something along the way and just didnt' experience music like I did before. Watching you enjoy music so much and seeing real joy is teaching me a lot. So Thank you for that, the vibes you have on these videos gets me to smile every time.

Yes, more of this! Aerosmith - Dream On, Skid Row - I Remember You, Def Leppard - Rock of Ages, Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer. So many great songs came out during this time.

This is great !! I love your interpretations of this and November Rain !!! And as I commented on the Rain video you did, you are a beautiful ginger ❤ just like Axl ❤

LOVED your analysis! Sure, the technical stuff is WAAAY over my head, but you make it fun! Thank you. ...this truly is my favorite live version, and whoever cued it up to NOT include Sail Away Sweet Sister JUST before Sweet Child did you a major injustice. A lot of angel and devil , fire and ice if you will, in that short piece Axl uses as an intro into Sweet Child O' Mine.

If you would like to hear Axl's lower voice work, check out the studio versions of "Mr. Brownstone" and "It's So Easy." Also, check out the studio version of "Welcome to the Jungle" if you want to analyze the mids to high pitches. He delivers great screams that cuts right through the mixes; his vocal range is pretty extensive, which officially covers five octaves and five semitones (Lowest note: F1, highest note: Bb6).

"Welcome to the Jungle" is GnR at their best. Listen to the studio version. It will melt your brain.

GnR is all about the Studio Albums! That's where they shine!

I'm not a singer or an audio engineer, but love audio and I appreciate how you can deconstruct what you are hearing from Axle and SEE it in your head and then explain. And what adds credence to your video having never seen you before is that you describe the irregularities and uniqueness of a live performance and instantly want to experiment with it, have questions like : how would you produce this? what would it sound like in a booth? Great freedom yourself, freedom of thought and transposition of his voice as a variable. Let's see how it acts here? see how it acts there? Does it work in a vacuum? Really nice. Thank you.

Estranged is the best GNR song basically full stop. The vocals are amazing and emotive, the way Slash works in guitar melodies is complementary yet distinct. And then there are dolphin sounds.

They are playing it at a higher bpm here (~140) than the studio version (~126). It sounds better slower. Slower gives Axl more time to form the phrasing, especially on the chorus.

I've just started watching your stuff and this is so fun. I'm a professional guitarist and seeing this concert live on TV, where Slash and Gilby played an instrumental of The Stones's Wild Horses, was literally the moment I ran downstairs and told my parents I need a guitar. I haven't seen it in forever but obviously it has tremendous emotional value for me. Thanks for doing this even if Axl was always better in studio. There was a study once that put him second to Mike Patton as the mainstream singer who had the greatest vocal range. He really had some pipes even if his voice wasn't for everyone.

Growing up in the 80's with GNR was great. Had the pleasure of seeing Slash and Myles Kennedy in Albuquerque a few years ago. It was a great show in a smaller venue but it was great! Myles did an incredible version of this song during it.

Axl has a very distinct voice that can only be described as comtrolled chaos. Even when he sings softly, there is still a jagged edge ( like Patience or November Rain). When he brings it (Sweet Child, Paradise City, Civil War) it works really well for rocking. You can hear both work in tandem in Live and Let Die. This band brought to you by Pantene :-). Also, props to you on mentioning Slash's guitar tone...it is perfect for this genre.

So insane that people recomend so many songs but not paradice city. That was the song that made hooked and looked in to their music. The live performance in RITZ in the beginning of their career is the most energetic performance i have ever seen. Its amazing.

I get so enamored in your videos and so first I’d like to thank for for sharing all these with us. You’re quite wonderful. As far as GNR studio versions are always far better for Axls vocals. Two things I’d like to recommend and know you have probably been told this already but two songs I think you would greatly appreciate are 1. “you Could Be Mine”. Axls breath control and tone are exemplified in a prolonged (nearly 30 second) uptempo section which almost seems to be in one breath. After thousands of attempts of singing along I cannot make it all the way through without feeling like I’m going to pass out. The notes he hits along the way are iconic. 2. “Estranged” is a song that truly shown the wide array of not only musical instrumentation that they can perform but the overall composition of the song and musical transitions is unmatched for almost any rock back. And it has two of Slash’s greatest solos the second of which I guarantee will give you chills. Anyway, I hope at some point you can experience these two songs since I truly think they show the amazing range that they had in their day. And again, thank you so much for sharing your world with us. I know there have been plenty really rough nights for me that I’ve spent enjoying your work and feeling much more inspired to keep going after the time I spent watching you. You’re the best 👍🏻

You are listening to musicians that have played at this point thousands of shows with multiple bands. Lots of experience. They know what they can and cant do plus they drink and smoke too!😮❤❤❤❤❤

I read an article that analyzed the vocal range of famous singers across decades, and the article claimed Axl Rose, in his prime, had the widest range of any vocalist, male or female.

Estranged. This song is a ride of emotions, musical temperament and to me, the most emotional delivery from Axl. It would be awesome to see you react to it. I know you prefer live versions, but the official video is outstanding, in its own axel, 90’s way.

As someone who loves Axl, it's hilarious to see your reaction. He's so over the top, I'm both laughing and amazed whenever I watch his live performances.

And the amazing here he is singing that vocal note while running are truly impressive😊❤❤

You really need to listen to the studio version to really appreciate Axl's voice.

Estranged, Civil War, Don’t Cry, Don't Damn Me.. all studio versions. The emotion in all of these songs just tugs at the heart. Axl does a crazy long slow-mo dipthong at the end of Don't Cry. Slash has an amazing solo in Estranged. These songs showcase Axl's deeper register. Don’t Damn Me is just a lot of fun. Duff's bass is fantastic in pretty much every song he's ever played.

I've watched both of your GN'R reactions. It is clear you love Slash's guitars. So do I. I've never heard someone push so much emotion through a musical instrument as I have with Slash and his guitar. You've used a lot of words to describe the sound like tone, melody, operatic, and epic...but the best word I've found to describe his play is emotional.

The ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ beginning guitar riff is in my opinion the most iconic amazing masterpiece ever

You will definitely want to listen to the studio version to get the full effect of Axl Rose' singing.

Slash's solos sound so melodic merely because of how he use accentuates certain notes in the pentatonic scale. His change in phasing also adds to that, making like you wanna sing even on his solos.

Where most reactors analyse you genuinely REACT! Your'e the best, Elizabeth. John.

I remember the first time I heard this song. It was at a Jr High School dance and everybody, including myself, just stopped….. wherever they were, just stopped and listened…. in complete awe. I remember thinking WOWWW, WHO THE IS THIS??? I had NEVER heard anything like it in my life. I was instantly in love with GNR.🔥🌹🙋‍♀️

The studio mix is where it’s at

And there are other live versions/songs where his voice would blow you away. Civil War is one that comes to mind of a live version where his voice is amazing.

I got my name from the singer, my dad raised me with those songs.

Thanks mate, this was a great reaction

This performance was definitely after the peak of guns-n-roses had passed, but the songs they created were unquestionably a handful for the ages. Axl's voice rode a very sharp edge that unfortunately ground down over the years. His studio work was absolutely, uniquely flawless. Songs like Don't Cry, November Rain & Civil War could melt anyone, when Axl let his voice come down out of the rafters, it was actually very pleasant. But the studio wanted more and more grit.

Calling axls voice abrasive is an understatement lol but certainly unique and unforgettable

I really enjoyed this!

To stay in the rhythmism after the jump is awesome and controll of the guitar, great!
