Personally I'd put Freddie Murcury ahead of Axl, but Axl was a better frontman and holds his own on vocals. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/3323108/Axl-Rose-is-out-in-front.html Oh and Guns N' Roses was voted artist of the year at another website. They've been touring so much and if they come to California I will definitely buy tickets for a concert! It would be my first concert as well. http://www.hennemusic.com/2010/12/guns-n-roses-named-hennemusics-rock.html Edited by Neo Metallix, Dec 31 2010, 06:20 PM.

That's just me but I mean I am happy for Axl Rose just not... impressed enough by him.

Not saying anything bad against Axl or anything, I love Guns N' Roses as much as the next guy, but Mercury has a much better voice than Axl.

I won't disagree, however Axl's voice has only gotten better. The new music on Chinese Democracy has his best vocals yet on studio material, hitting high notes he has never done before. Plus he sings differently on a lot of them. Shackler's Revenge has him with a very deep tone, Catcher in the Rye has a very soft tone, and This I Love has him hitting some high notes.

I personally like it, but I know some who legitimately don't like it. A lot of people just said it sucked because it wasn't the original band members, but I could care less. As for vocally, I think it is his best work yet.

Trying to go with a theme this time Posts: 3,032 Group: E Rank Legend Member #11,365 Joined: August 31, 2010	If i had my vote in this, (Which goes far off trend from the polls, ) I would vote Corry Taylor or Billie Joe Armstrong. BJ's got some sorta nick to his voice that makes it sound good, and Corry's attribute is being able to sing for ages without taking a breath. Pretty awesome.

I'm just saying following books translated by mankind, capable of deviant sin isn't a source of reputable knowledge I'd plan one's own life around or ahead to. I'm without a faith in either of which not because I choose to be jaded or blind to them, but because I would rather figure things out through my own eyes, not ones of others' zeal. It would seem askew of me to correct your last statement just the same. But it is arrogant to assume my faith lies in something as paltry as technical aspiration. ~Moddex Its that simple.

The Raskull King! Posts: 306 Group: A Rank Guardian Member #11,298 Joined: August 3, 2010 Xbox Live Gamertag: HudsonHawx	emmmm, I would have to add another vote for Freddie. There is just something about that mustache... It's mesmerizing. But congrats to Axl Rose, he's an Indiana native too! Not sure how I feel about him just replacing all the original members though... I haven't listened to the new stuff, But I feel like it wouldn't really sound like GnR. More like an Axel Rose solo album. Anyone have any insight to how the new lineup effects the sound?

I also think that Freddie had much more of an enthusiasm and passion for his music than Axl does. I mean no offence to Axl of course but when I hear Freddie singing with Montserrat Caballe I realise just how powerful and truly talented Freddie was both as a rock God and a classical singer. He was truly gifted.

I don't think it sounds much different from the Use Your Illusion albums in the sense that it's got all different types of music unlike AFD which was all the same style. Some of the songs have a distinct sound of the new members for instance Shackler's Revenge sounds very Buckethead. Edited by Neo Metallix, Jan 3 2011, 06:18 PM.
