I'm not hearing anything out of tune. At the VMA's Axl was out of breath. His voice may have been lacking rasp at the time, but I'd say he was at his most powerful then. The 2001 Jungle scream is unmatched. The voice on The General sounds great and the effects add to it. I love it.
I kinda like Scraped. The intro voice is pretty meh, but the rest is better than most on CD. He's being raspy and that's far and between on that album. But my favorite part of Scraped is the solo.
Yes, we def have different ears lol But I respect your opinion. I will probably like the general vocals more with a proper vocal mix, that is my biggest issue with it. I think the music on it is great. The lyrics are pretty dark and hard to get into a song about abuse, its not something I would listen to to enjoy if that makes sense.

You dont think the "my only regret......" part sounds like this
The VMA catastrophe is the last thing I'm thinking about when hearing this. The voice is similar, but here it actually sounds good. In Jungle it doesn't.
Not only do I like the voice, but of course the melody. Axl was pretty weak on the CD we got imo. Not here.
That is because the studio version of the general has all kinds of effects on axls voice and auto tuning to help it a bit. but you take all of that off and it will be even closer to the VMAs voice. Axls voice is all over the place on the my only regret parts. Its pretty awful. I even asked a few friends to take a listen and they said how bad he sounds lol
They said he sounds way better on Monsters but still didnt like the song overall lol
Do you like how Axl sounds on Scraped? Just curious.

It does bring up a good question...
Does anyone still have any of the 2002 merch?

dave-gnfnr wrote:So at the start of the general
Axl says I have not sang since the start of the tour this spring.What do you think he means by that? Does he mean has not sang this song? Does that mean he did recent vocals for the general?
They probably sound checked it or rehearsed it at some point.
My first assumption was he meant in spring rehearsal before the tour but could mean studio.
yeah bc that is when it first appeared on the set list pics right

Axl says I have not sang since the start of the tour this spring.
What do you think he means by that? Does he mean has not sang this song? Does that mean he did recent vocals for the general? Or maybe just since he reheased the song with the band?

I think all you VR and Slash fans are going to be in for such a BIG SURPRISE when the confirmation comes in.
I am neither a slash fan nor a VR fan.

Here's wat im think The General releases tonight Monsters release Dec 8 Atlas Shrugged rumours are fake at this point
songs are usually released on a Tuesday or Friday. So if it was going to drop it will have been at midnight.
yes today is a friday but usually the drop at midnight on Fridays

Axl sounds way out of tune and his voice is super weakThe sound quality isn’t good enough to give fair judgement imo on General.
The bridge in Monsters however, chefs kiss. That is some of his best work since 91.
his normal register voice on the song overall is really good, its when he goes high it sounds bad. IMO
Now take Monsters, he is fantastic on that all around. That is some of his best vocal work

dave-gnfnr wrote:polluxlm wrote:The leak and live sound exactly the same so it is Slash. But it also sounds like he's playing a BH solo. It would be very interesting to hear the original takes.
I think for me this is Axl's best vocal take in the CD era. Only other thing that comes close is the scream in TWAT.
You think the general is Axls best vocal take on the CD era stuff? i think its one of his worst right up there with scrapped.
Oh My God is also good but only in the verses. This has a great chorus.
