sorry to hear that Pete.....I'll have to see you guys again........I watched the you tube videos and I was wondering - were you sick on those nights also? coz you missed quite a few of axl's squeaky high notes. You seemed to pull away from the microphone as you tried to hit the high notes giving us the impression that you were uncomfortable?
axl is a major part of GNR and if you're sick get the other singer to do it (if he can)...I watched Brad sing the Zep songs on youtube and realised he was having more trouble also....some songs sound great and some are shocking. Butt I guess Plant was hot and cold on half of the live cds I have. But you understand my point?
Great show anyway, I can't believe you don't have more gigs?
Hi John;
Your right, on the you tube Vid...which was shot two years ago. I... just like most of the band had the Flu then.
We shot that footage at Kallangur Tavern Mid winter. Brad and I were both sick. So the vid really don't do either of us any justice. I know all that sounds like a cope out. But it's true!!! Like I said in my last post-
"We don't cancel gigs". If someone is sick we still play the show.
Because we have very specific rolls within the show, it would be very hard to swap singers around to fill if someone was sick. So sick or not, we have to get on stage and do our thing, even we can't hit all the notes, will still do the best we can.
As for Axl, he is a major part of Guns..no two ways about it. But the Axl of today even has trouble replicating his own voice from the 1980's glory days.
We are working on lots more gigs, so stay tuned!
Thanks
Pete
