Ghostie Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 For my ears, and this is a total compliment, I'd have to go with Karen Carpenter. No rasp, but the style strikes me as comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 the guy from dangerous toysJason McMaster - I interviewed him earlier this year. Really nice guy.I think the guy from Hardcore Superstar is the closest thing we have today. Not exactly the same "sound" - but he sings with a lot of rasp and has the same kind of old school GnR vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dando Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Myles Kennedy.Really?Myles is a terrible frontman with a droning voice that is seriously boring and has one toneAxl is the greatest frontman of his generation, and one of the best of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Most current singers are 100000000000x better than current Axl who is always out of breath with cracked vocals, however, old Axl was one of a kind, and I can't really think of any singer/frontman who would come close to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Janis Joplin, Robert Plant, Sebastian Bach, M Shadows from avenged sevenfold is clearly influenced by Axl's lower register and he sounds pretty damn good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Frehley Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Janis Joplin, Robert Plant, Sebastian Bach, M Shadows from avenged sevenfold is clearly influenced by Axl's lower register and he sounds pretty damn good to me.I agree with you about M Shadows dude. His lower register is very similar to Axl. You can tell he's also influenced by his look (bandana sunglasses etc) Tom keifer from Cinderella has good rasp as does the guy from Nazareth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
