Axel had such an amazing range back in the 80's and 90's with his voice. No one can keep that level of singing going for long, even Steve Perry eventually had to call it quits.
@@crankfastle8138 Mike is one of the worst singers in music. Im a vocal coach. The illusion of Mike Patton is this - in his various bands he can sing as a lounge crooner, or do some falsetto, or screeching, but he doesn't display full voice in the high range.

It’s not age, or partying, it’s from screaming every night for close to 40 years, it took a toll on his vocal cords, and he is still packing stadiums 😃
He sang just fine till 2016 something more drastic happened to his vocal chords that wasn't shared. He's singing full falsetto instead of screaming with falsetto leading it.
Why do you say “surprised”? Rose May not have been teetotaller by any means, but unlike a lot of other rock stars of the era (including several other members of GnR) he was never a heavy drug user/addict or alcoholic.
True story! Even if he hadn’t partied or gained a bit of weight (haven’t we all), there’s no way he could’ve maintained those vocals for this long. At least he’s giving it a go and appears to be having more fun than he was back then. I wasn’t a huge fan of his back in those days, but I have to give him credit!
He actually hasn't partied his off since the Illusion tour. He took a sabbatical for nearly a decade following that tour, and during that sabbatical he became clean and sober. He's been boring everywhere but on stage since.
He used to basicly be a professional athlete. Dude was all over the stage. Also his vocal endurance was insane. All things aside I think he sounds pretty damn good. I bet he's better on stage than any 60 year old athlete would compete in the sports they played in as young men.
Yeah probably, because comparing his performance to an actual professional athlete is just disrespectful, "look at me wiggle back and forth for an hour or two", that's mike Tyson status, that's the next LeBron James and Michael Phelps right there. Obviously he's gonna sweat when he sings and moves around, but he's far from the only front man that does that, should we bring David Lee Roth into the mix? Or maybe Bruce Dickinson ?
@@charliechan6892 Well, look at some of their full shows. They were on drugs and it shows, they are running around two hours nonstop while singing/playing guitar. And it shows on their bodies. While obviously not professional athletes, they had great physiques.
@@mememan5466 Yeah, all the comments saying he's just older is like saying a fat man is fat because he's old but he never did any sports in his life and has been eating at McDonald's every day. Axl really has to go to a vocal coach to improve his (breathing) technique.
I luv Slash and Axl. As a monster singer you can't compare age 20-30 to 50-60 Axl, it's not easy what he sings, listen closely even the guitar is different. Much respect for Guns and Roses.
Funny thing is 80s Axl wasn't even what I would consider his peak, those late 90s / early 2000s Chinese Democracy demos and tours were amazing and his singing was so much better. More mature, controlled and that scream on IRS alone is sick. Not to mention the lineup was out of this world
@@richardstevens2052if that’s singing in key then they should have me up there. I can sound like micky mouse too, and I’m a baritone with rudimentary singing ability. What axl did as a young baritone male is he extended his range but to do that takes constant maintenance and practice. It’s like a 60 year old baseball player trying to pitch or hit like he used too.
Los años pasan factura y no pasan en vano es parte de la vida de toda persona, pero la admiracion por este señor artista sigue siendo la misma al igual como cuando eran un joven veinteañero 😊❤❤AXEL ROSE
just goes to show that in 88 he was "hungry" and laid it all on the line for the fans and in 22 he could give a shit less about the show and anyone watching. Plus his gut shows that hes not "hungry" anymore.
Now compare ticket prices from 1988 to 2022 and this makes total sense!!! I saw GnR in the 90's for $20...today the same ticket would be $1000...that's why they do it.
I saw them in 2018 or 19 I think. It was the worst concert I've been to. Great Music but terrible sound quality. I didn't understand a word Axl sang that day and the rest of the band wasn't sounding good either. Hope they fixed that problem or it was just that one show.
I mean the amount he and the rest of GNR smoked and drank even back in the day, coupled with Axl not being in the best shape either definitely is a big contributing factor. Even back in the 90s, James Hetfield noticed how much they didn’t take of themselves, especially Axl.
constantly singing? how long has he been off stage? how much time did he have to lose some weight and do some voice training? this is sad. still better than Vince though.
His pipes can't escape Father Time no matter how much weight he loses, unfortunately. Strong rock voices weren't meant to last forever. He still sounds decent in the recent clip though, just doesn't have that signature rasp any more
@@OscarShackleford1998 Being way off pitch is a much bigger difference...than the quality of the audio/video. 30 years ago, the audio video quality wasn't nearly as good as in recent years but that early video did not generate false positives for singing off pitch,..ie flat or sharp. Soo,...No, thr biggest difference is Axle's singing.
People can talk all the sht they want... acting like aging won't happen to all of us. Change is okay. And the fact that he can still hit those notes in the same key is EXTREMELY impressive for anyone. 99% of other bands from the same period down tune a step and a half just to be able to sing, if they're not just lip-syncing altogether.
MAN!!! i know i probably couldn't do it at 60 something. Rock on bro! I still listen to 60's thru early 90's music. There's really not any music out there that compares to earlier stuff.
I remember when the song came out and I was in high school. It was such an incredible sound like we’ve never heard, then or now… It was very exciting time! ❤❤❤❤ Always relevantes!
It’s amazing how the audio from the 80s clip sounds better than the 2022 one 💀
You are right you would think would be the other way around, maybe because maybe the 2022 one was recorded with a cell phone ?
Celular cagon vs camaras y audio profesional de la época....
mic+soundboard vs phone
Not really. The clip from 88 was professionally recorded and the clip from 2022 was recorded on someones shitty phone camera
Professional recording vs someone's crappy cell phone.
He's in his 60s now. For those of us who grew up to these timeless bands, this is a kick in stomach. Reminds us how fast time flew.
Yeah he's 61 and I'm 52, how the hell did that happen so quickly.

Gotta give credit to James Hetfield for sounding better as he ages.
He went to a vocal coach years ago. Actually saved his voice, compared to others ...
I thought what the hell is Sam Smith doing singing welcome to the jungle 😳
That's Donald Trump, mate.
and still writing some great riffs too.
@@lalocorganDonald trump's auntie
I can actually feel his aching back, and shortness of breath.
Geezer
its not his aching back...hes adjusting his vocal pack on his hip.
Quiero ver que haces tu a tus 60s
Right!?
He’s just adjusting his vocal clip bruh
French fries are a hell of a drug

And smoking on top of everything else
Dude sang for a decade and ate big macs for the next 30
James hetfield at 60 and David draiman at 50 sounds amazing
He sang just fine till 2016 something more drastic happened to his vocal chords that wasn't shared. He's singing full falsetto instead of screaming with falsetto leading it.
Still a better show than drake or sam smith

Imagine how many times he's sung that song over the years. Like drawing a smiley face 10,000 times, that 10,000th time won't look like the first.
They were amazing back then. I seen them at monsters of rock. Went to see metallics but left being a g n r fan also.
The 1988 clip is from an MTV special showing an entire GNR concert. I saw it back then.
Back in the day they had better recording equipment then we do now😂
I was 9 when this song came out , 44 now & still jam to this! Rock on brother!!
His voice went out during that recent concert
Well, total respect Axl. Not that bad at all. Keep rockin man.
Life on the road was hard on that man
Absolutely not ..inform yourself
prince was the only person i know who kept his talent in every area including voice through the ages.
He’s holding his back just thinking about doing those moves.

Still better than everyone commenting on their phones.
Looks like my dad now but still sounds similar for being 30+ years later
He sounds like his younger self to me. Grateful ❤
Smoking, drinking, and screaming in your youth takes its toll on your voice
Everyone gets old. Bow out Now Gracefully Axl......
He’s still brilliant just unfortunately he gave some of his voice to me
Na, he can do what he wants.
haha, gracefully?
@@crankfastle8138 Lol....❤️ it sounded nice....
Its called getting old. At least he can still rock when others can only dream.

just goes to show that in 88 he was "hungry" and laid it all on the line for the fans and in 22 he could give a shit less about the show and anyone watching. Plus his gut shows that hes not "hungry" anymore.
It's not just his voice, but his movements, facial expressions, haircut and clothes. He looks like a HS guidance counselor who's pretending to be Axl.
Mickey 's mouse vocal in 2022?!😂😂😂😂
Yep it reminded me a lot of Dave Mustaine's falsetto From 2009
Axl "Benny Hill" Rose... i love it !
Hombre, para tener más de 60 años sigue rockeando. Larga vida a Axl Rose!
Rock and roll is like hockey. the players have a shelf life
Los años pasa para todos, pero Axl siempre perdurará ese gran talento , la energía que brota en cada canción con un estilo único . 🎸✌️🎸🇵🇪 😍 😆
Saw em in 89 when they peaked. Now you’re just getting ripped off for nostalgia.
Now compare ticket prices from 1988 to 2022 and this makes total sense!!! I saw GnR in the 90's for $20...today the same ticket would be $1000...that's why they do it.
Just saw them in Seattle last weekend. They’re still kicking ass. He’s in great shape running around the stage and singing like he was in his 30s.
I'm gonna see them in August he sounds good enough to me
I saw them in 2018 or 19 I think. It was the worst concert I've been to. Great Music but terrible sound quality. I didn't understand a word Axl sang that day and the rest of the band wasn't sounding good either. Hope they fixed that problem or it was just that one show.
Probably tone deaf
I think he's suffering from the same thing that happened to Linda Ronstadt..Her vocal cords suffered damage due to constantly singing with no rest
She put out some pretty diverse music.
I mean the amount he and the rest of GNR smoked and drank even back in the day, coupled with Axl not being in the best shape either definitely is a big contributing factor. Even back in the 90s, James Hetfield noticed how much they didn’t take of themselves, especially Axl.
Linda ronstat has m.s. that's what ruined her vocal cords.
constantly singing? how long has he been off stage? how much time did he have to lose some weight and do some voice training? this is sad. still better than Vince though.
He’s also had operations on his vocal cords which has permanently limited him on what he can and cannot sing anymore.
If you take in consideration that it's 34 years later and the sound system sucks in 2022, he sounds awesome!
People need to give axl some respect. He is 74 years old and still rocking. He doesn’t look that bad for being 74 years old. I admire him
He’s 62. So am I. We’re still gettin’ it.
He just needs to exercise then he'll be right back to where he was. He's lost a lot of weight; he's doing great!
