Lol, I can't believe that a few clueless kids think Freddie can compete with Cornell as a singer.

This performance literally shits all over Freddie's entire career then pisses on the mess.

Lol, you obviously know nothing about Cornell.

I'll post videos when I can be fucked, son.

Just by reading the title of the topic, the word immigrant comes to my mind. I wonder why?

I came in to post exactly this.

Not as good as Soundgarden or Alice in Chains, about on par with Nirvana.

You just posted 2 videos from the same show. It was a rough show, it happens to everyone. And if you mean to tell me that Axl's never had an off night, you've clearly got some brain damage. Not to mention you just called Chris Cornell "a great"...lol

Freddie was basically consistently mediocre. Go watch some tape. Listen to Live at Wembley where it sounds like he's taking a shit every time he tries to sing a high note.

And yeah, Chris Cornell is a great. Certainly a much better singer than Bruce Dickinson, who is probably one of the most unoriginal, unimaginative, generic vocalists to ever exist. He's basically the retarded cousin of Rob Halford.

Why don't you make a video of yourself upstaging Freddie then? We'll all see how much of an amazing vocalist you are.

I don't need to prove myself to an Iron Maiden fan, thanks. I can assume from your infatuation with Bruce Dickinson that you wouldn't know good singing if it kicked you up the ass.

I would add all of the beatles. Great songwriters, but average songers....at best. And Led Zepplin has never done much for me. I'd also add Eminem - dude is gay.

Led Zeppelin isn't a singer.

Again, a weakass falsetto is not impressive. Basically anyone can do that.

Not very impressive tbh. I could sing all of that pretty easily and would probably sound better doing it.

I know it's widely considered to be blasphemy to question Freddie's legacy, but I can't help it. He's so often ranked as one of the greatest singers of all time, but if you actually take the time to sit down and listen to some of his performances, it becomes abundantly clear that he had a relatively mediocre singing voice.

Definitely doesn't stack up to the greats like Axl, Chris Cornell, John Lennon etc imo. I know alot of people will disagree.

Why is it that those who are against new-GNR also seem to make a habit of mocking Axl's appearance? Just wondering. Seems odd since it doesn't have anything to do with music. It would be like calling Slash out for being a balding fatass... he is, but who gives a fuck?

I give a fuck ...So fuck you-Asshole statement number 4..

how come all those fuckers all over NUGNR have nothing but disrespect for the originals? How come they cant get over the fact that there is a hell of a lot of history in this band and there is an distict difference between the guys who wrote and made the music and made it iconic and the guys hired on to replace them? How come they whine about the "music" and then watch the new guys attempt to play it as best they can..(and they do a damn great job at it) In some cases they do it..Just the way Slash did it too....even stand on stage like him.

The only fuckers we all need to make fun of in the ex guns file are Buckethead and Fink ..not because of their music but thier images and stage personas... that was funny and deeply disturbing.

How come shit stirrers like Rising Tides have to be either/or in their thinking- is it because they actually dont like Guns and Roses for the music at all ? somehow do they have have to believe that 90% of the "music" was put out there by those fucking 80's dudes..to picked up and played by...other fucken 80's dudes. Silly people do you think Buckethead or Fink or Stinson or Thal or DJ wrote Appetite or UYI? So they play it now..big deal..good on them.. good to get a steady paycheck in todays economy and Kudos for them having the balls to do it. No disrespect for them..its a great gig to get.

Hmmmm DJ and Ron and 4tus and Stinson are hired on to play Duff, Izzy and Slashs music..not vise versa.. and this fucker cant see the difference?

Fucker cant see that most people groove on both eras and they dont nessessarily have to pick one or the other? Dont worry fools.. cuz Rising Tides is here to convince you that your all a bunch of assholes who dont know shit about GNR. Watch as the fucker stumbles and bumbles with childlike mental gymnastics to help us see the light. Rising Tides..defender of NUGNR is here to inform you that you dont know shit about anything.

Lol. Cry moar.

Honestly, who cares about Duff? He hasn't been a part of GNR for a long, long time.

Asshole statement of the entire year right here folks..next to the other cocksuckers who say shit like.."slash who"

Hey, if you want to discuss Slash or Duff or any other former member, there are other forums for that. This is a GUNS N' ROSES forum... is it that hard to grasp? This forum is for discussing Guns N' Roses, not for discussing former members who are completely irrelevant to todays band.

Hahhahaa what a deepthroater with a whoppin 8 posts we have here folks... obviously about a 12 year old mentality...weve seen your kind come and go so fucken quick its laughable. Stick around Mr. I know GNR...by all means make a fool of yourself ...its entertaining..

Mind you while your going off at the mouth about the past...um your little "mancrush" on Stinson...ummm those are Duffs base lines hes playing on every song not on the CD..and besides your obvious trolling for shit... you know shit about GNR...it apparent and your insistance on showing your ignorance is amusing. Please give us some of your manly insight on GNR...for us mistaken fools. Play your hostility out.. this could be as funny as your not one but two ASSHOLE comments of the year. By the way Welcome to the Jungle well enjoy your pitiful attempts to "set us straight"

First of all, calm your ass down kiddy.

What does my post count have to do with anything? I've been a GNR fan for longer than you've been alive, son. In your world, post count evidently matters. In my world, it doesn't.

Oh come on dude, don't pretend that you know shit about Guns N' Roses. You can't even seem to grasp the fact that the original lineup is long dead and buried. Fact is, the new lineup is as much Guns N' Roses as the AFD-era gang were. The only constant in GNR is Axl. Get over it and stop your crying. Not to mention the fact that today's band actually sound better.

Hey, there's no accounting for shitty taste, like you evidently have.

Honestly, who cares about Duff? He hasn't been a part of GNR for a long, long time.

Are you retarded? Duff was a major part of Axl's life/GnR. Dude is a legend. Dude is classy, cool and can play. Tommy does a decent fill in job (he's an employee after all) while Duff is the real deal. Was nice to see him on stage with Axl showing the current employees how it's done. Seriously. Boys & girls, that (Axl & Duff together) is how it's done. That is rock stars at their best.

No, I'm not retarded, but you evidently are.

Duff is "classy"? It was "classy" to abandon ship as soon as things got rough in GNR and then spend the next several years slandering Axl in the press? Yeah, real "classy". Tommy is a better bassist than Duff, and that is an indisputable fact. You may have a mancrush on Duff or whatever or a hard-on for the original lineup but that doesn't change the fact that the songs sound 10x better with Stinson, who by the way is as much of a part of GNR as Duff has ever been.

Why is it that those who are against new-GNR also seem to make a habit of mocking Axl's appearance? Just wondering. Seems odd since it doesn't have anything to do with music. It would be like calling Slash out for being a balding fatass... he is, but who gives a fuck?

Queens of the Stone Age are the WORST band I have ever seen live. Saw them at Reading... fucking terrible show. Josh Homme is the shittiest frontman ever. Between every song he just said the same boring shit. "I'm so drunk and high right now", "all you beautiful people in the crowd here". Awful, awful band.

Honestly, who cares about Duff? He hasn't been a part of GNR for a long, long time.

Anybody who says Slash needs to bin the tophat they most likely have on, cut their dyed, curled locks, bin the leather jacket, and strip the retarded Slash posters from their walls. Anybody with ears can tell that CD is by far the better album, and Axl is easily a better musician than Slash.
