Scott Weiland on It's So Easy vs. Axl Rose on Slither

[scooby845]

What do you think?

I give a slight edge to Scott. 

If it were rasp, I'd give to to Axl.

I choose Scott because I need an excuse to post this:

It's so Izzey, Izzey, everybody tries to pay him, baby 

[zombux]

Scott was great!

[darkside259]

scott was rock n roll

[killuridols]

It's hard....

They both lack something when interpreting each other's songs..... Like Scott can't reach the high parts of ISE chorus and Axl ruins the Slither chorus with the Mickey

Either way, I voted Axl because he tried something different with the song, to make it his own even if that chorus arrangement does not favor him that much.

Scott sang it pretty much straight out of the album, so.... kinda boring.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Axl on Slither. 

Something I thought I’d never hear and it was a highlight at Download. 

[Ratam]

I'm can't to look at Scott , his look was very impressive for my, prefer not judge he.

[Stiff Competition]

Scott. Not even close.

Listen to the Houston '04 performance. It sounds as much like Guns as the current Guns does now. Granted that's not just due to him but VR as a whole.

Scott could also sing his own songs how they were supposed to be sung which was a big plus. 

 

I admit the novelty of Axl singing Slither is cool but that's about it. Between him on the chorus and Frank on the entire song...it's not very enjoyable.

[Lies They Tell]

It's a tie.

ISE sounds bland without the high parts and the Mickey parts on Slither sound weak.

we need a new album to avoid these threads

Scott on It's So Easy. He, in my opinion, sang it perfectly. His version of Patience was also really good.

I do like Axl's version of Slither, though. The chorus could be better, but then again, I kind of like it when he sings it higher. I don't know. Axl sounds ridiculously good with his low voice on the bridge before the last chorus.

[janrichmond]

Scott ISE gets my vote, he sings it better than Axl sings Slither. I mean, yeah it's cool that Axl now sings a Slash/Duff song but they've been playing his songs from the start of NITL, it was long overdue in my opinion 

[Ralphelmo]

Vote for Scott. With Mr. Brownstone it would've been even easier decision. 

 

Additional example of proper drumming

Scott... obvious choice. Leaving aside the fact that we never thought Axl would sing a Velvet Revolver song, the performance itself is not that great. Some people may like the way he sings it, but I'd prefer if he sticked to singing it how Scott used to. On the other side, Scott's performance is much more close to GN'R than Axl's to VR. It's just a matter of taste though, but in my head Scott is way ahead.

[Annabelle]

Take me back. 

[F*ck Fear]

It's So Easy w/ Scott.

While there have been a few renditions of Slither that have been ok, why does Axl feel the need to sound like an old grandma on the chorus? Man, his voice is atrocious.

[Tom-Ass]

I'm not going to vote but I do gotta say that it was rough at first but Axl keeps getting better at Slither and I think he does a really good job now.. Plus it is just super fucking cool that he is doing it in general.. Here is a video from the last show

Slither has gotten better and Axl sounds generally okay on it despite the Mickey on the chorus. I like what he’s going for but he either needs to rasp it or drop it and just sing it like the album.

Overall though, I vote for Scott. What he lacks in high vocals is made up for in sheer charisma. He knows he can’t sing high so he doesn’t even try. He does it like Scott and does it well.

[Ant]

That latest version of Slither was pretty cool! Way to go, Axl — thanks for tackling it. I wonder if he could use that bridge voice for more of it... and other GNR songs too... has some venom to it.

I don’t like watching Scott’s versions of GNR songs but on the Libertad tour when I saw them live ISE and Mr Brownstone were killer. And I hate when people make the live/recorded distinction haha.

Pretty much this.  He's basically nailing it now.

This

Scott. Easy pick for me, when though Axl has improved

[Nosaj Thing]

Axl sounds awful on Slither.  So, Scott for me.

[bdinan]

Never been a Scott fan, even in STP. Axl's been getting better on Slither, but the falsetto part in the chorus is bad.
