wabba_treads Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 mmh i would like to see him belt the first half of the 5th octave in a convincing way without the need of cover it up below false folds distortion, i say this not to create controversy but because this is something really difficult to find in male singers! (to the point that little by little i have been loosing the interest on the 5th octave, because most singers that belt the 4th octave, cannot belt the first half of the 5th octave -C5 to F5- in the same mode, so they have 2 voices -axl rose-, or they have to disguise his 5th octave below distortion -as this singer, also mike patton, vile vallo, etc..-, or lastly, they have to lower the volume of their 4th octave to match the sound they have on the 5th -kyo from dir en grey currently is the one that convinces me the most with how he manages to belt the 4th octave and C5-F5 but he still has to do this, he had to lower the volume he used to use for his 4th octave to match the sound with the 5th-). ^^^ I completely agree! I hope his distortion method isn't hurting him either. If anyone has a clip of him singing clean in that range to share, I would love to hear it! Axl Rose was a heavy user of mask/twang, so much that he had to thin out his deep baritone lower register sound to a degree to match his upper range.

ronws Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Axl singing all parts. The low part is actually the lead vocal line. Though the chorus is higher, of course. Please excuse the incongruity of mistyped lyrics and a band line-up that did not exist when this song was recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Cool, Geran. Although my favorite song from Chinese Democracy is also Axl's favorite, according to a rare interview. "Better." Prepare yourself for some falsetto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 First off, props to DJ Ashba and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. This actually sounds close to the album. He has had worse nights than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gneetapp Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think I like this better. Awesome! But I think his distortion comes from twisting his neck...eheheh Just kidding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoHere Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 interesting how a lot of the songs are up a half step..maybe it sets him up better but still interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpall Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Bob, could it be that he's singing songs that were originally recorded by tuning the guitars down a half step and then his band didn't want to bother downtuning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Robert Cray (and I have seen him in concert) has 3 guitars he rotates. He plays one or two songs with one and the tech comes up on stage and swaps with him, and he starts the next bit. The tech is re-tuning and replacing strings as necesssary. And, also, doing special tunings, like Drop D, when the next song in the set list requires it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
