Axl.  

 

Hetfield's no slouch, but Axl is a surprisingly good singer.

 

 

Axl's range is ridiculous.

"The Guns N' Roses vocalist has sung notes that span nearly six octaves, from F1 (in There Was a Time), in the second-lowest octave in scientific pitch notation, to B flat 6 (Ain't it Fun), five octaves above it. Rose has a lower baritone than Barry White, and can reach higher notes than Tina Turner and Beyoncé."

James. Not alotta people can hold it down on rhythm like he does. 

Old Jamez was good, new James meh. I looooved Metallica throughout the 80s-90s, but now they are kinda meh and mostly because of James. As far as GNR -, I know Chinese Democracy wasn't well received, but from a musical composition standpoint it's damn good and the guitar work is f-ing masterful...

The album is sooo ***** good. We went to San Bernadino - it was great! Ready to see them again when they tour for the album

 

Really looking forward to seeing Volbeat.  This will be my third time seeing Behemoth.  The things I do for my son.  We last saw Slipknot in the summer of 2015.  I was not a fan of their music, but I totally dig them now.

I think I told you that they did a show at local place in my little town... I wanna say like 7 years ago.  My my son was like in Grade 8.  They are out of Des Moines and I guess they have a connection here.  They agreed to do a show in this little dive place in town. My Son went to it when he was in that phase.

Neither!  I prefer a young Robert Plant.

 

He has completely lost the ability to sing in late life unfortunately.

 

Hate the whole Axl thing, and Hetfield really can't sing; I think I overall would prefer Metallica's music to GNR though.

Right around 'Iowa' I got into them, but 'Vol. 3' turned me into a teenage girl. Thankfully I was able to cure my wife from the dreaded Dave Matthews disease and she is a big Corey Taylor/Stone Sour and Knot fan now...Recently got her into John5 and working on Zombie now LOL

That's a sweet Jackson, dude.  My son's in the market for another shredder.  Right now he's got a couple Schecters and an Ibanez (the only one with a trem).

I can't believe I bought it. I won't actually have it in my possession until like the 2nd week of Sept. It coming from Toronto and I waned to pay cash (did layaway with the shop I paid 1/2 last week and the other half on 9/6). No tax and free shipping. Signed by Mick (only 15 in the world like this and he has 1. It's a masterbuilt fender customshop)

 

You cannot beat Jackson or Charvel's IMO. I hate my Les Paul (hate is strong, just not into man)

Halford has this going for him:

 

he sounds the same live as he does on recordings. It's uncanny.

 

 

Something AXL was/is never able to do...woof

 

Edit: I actually like musicians and singers who sound good live; like they are supposed to. Anyone can be a studio hero (modern pop music or whatever the hell kids or people with no taste listen to today). 

 

I love DLR VH, but he is awful live...

Charvels were really big in the 80s.  Nice to see them resurging.  Yeah, my son has absolutely zero interest in a Les Paul, or even anything Les Paul style (ESP/LTD makes some sweet Les Paul style guitars).  He has a Squier Strat (vibe series) that he just setup for/tuned to B Standard with a set of 12-56 last night.

LOL my first Charvel was a Model 6 bought in 1987 new (basically a soloist) and it is still my favorite. I felt like I needed one to just have one, but meh...
