Bodies was great, and to be honest their latest record is actually pretty damn good. Well worth checking out on Google Play Music or Spotify or the like...

Quoted for truth!

Although I can't really empathize with SG, he does have a very simple logical point: no matter how exclusive the first gig might be, for certain people the value of the tickets they purchased for Vegas could be considerably lower than what they payed for it. In other words: even if you can't get into a rumored super-duper exclusive LA club gig, the existence of such a show can impact your perceived value of the Vegas tickets. You can't really argue that, I think.

First world problems? Sure, but that's where we happen to live, so no point in acting all high and mighty about it.

The acoustic version is MUCH better, but the song really lacks a chorus. I'd agree with Monkey that the vocal melody in the verse is very good, but that's the only redeeming quality of the song to me. It doesn't build to anything, and those wails he does instead of where a good song would have it's chorus after the first verse are just plain annoying to listen to.

The stripped-down acoustic version also exposes how little there really is to the song. Again, add a chorus, and you can make this thing into a nice acoustic 3-minute song ala You Ain't The First.

I agree with all of this, Bon was good, but Brian brought the material to a whole new level.

I do think Brian's style of 'rasp' is easier for Axl to attain than his own classic 80's-90's era rasp. Brian's vocal technique isn't as hard on the voice as most people think. He uses his head voice almost exclusively, and while he does add a lot of distortion and compression on top of it, it means that he doesn't sing very loudly, so there's less risk of damage. Of course, he has a hoarse speaking voice to begin with, so that doesn't hurt to achieve the tone he's so famous for.

Axl on the other hand uses a forceful mixture of head and chest voice and adds distortion on top of that. That's a lot harder to do and maintain. He uses the power of his chest voice to introduce the rasp, which not only has a much higher risk of doing serious damage, it also is simply much harder to do. When he goes into Mickey-mode, that's because he can't bring enough power to the table to make his chest voice come through.

So all-in-all, I think that if Axl knows how to bring distortion to his head voice, he should be able to pull off any AC/DC track without too much of an issue.
