tange Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Heres the deal. The guy sounds as close to Axl as anyone is going to get. Period. However, its still not close gang. Axl Rose gets paid what he does because of a four or five people a generation type talent. Scarcity matters. Once that dude starts to find his own voice though look out, he's got the raw talent to be one hell of a singer and not just at a party or a bar band.I just listened to Painkiller, WOW! Dude is a talent. Anyone in this thread that thinks otherwise needs to fill me in as to why. I'm impressed. Great Rock voice.

mahimahi Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 LOL, shut it off after 5 seconds. Ya'll don't know who Chad Atkins is then.....lead singer of Gun's tribute band "Appetite For Destruction"...best visual/aural Axl impersonation in the world, period.Agreed, I have seen Appetite For Destruction multiple times, they are really good.This guy does do a good job though.

Lethalis Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It was fun to watch.I'm not a big fan of his normal singing voice however (the Eric Clapton cover sucks).But okay, his rock stuff is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lines&Noses Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) http://www.bestweekever.tv/2011-02-22/your-axl-rose-impression-will-never-be-as-good-as-this-guys/"Your Axl Rose Impression Will Never Be As Good As This Guy’sBy Sarah WalkerIt was not this Saturday that I myself NAILED “Sweet Child O’ Mine” at my friend’s birthday party. I sounded AWESOME. Everyone who was at the Sly Fox will tell you that I killed it. Everyone. You don’t even need to ask them you can just trust. But this guy. THIS GUY!! This guy is the best!! He just needs to incorporate some swaying, perhaps a kilt, bandana and a catcher’s chest guard and he’ll be all set. I don’t know if we’ll be able to differentiate between the two."That really is a rather good impersonation. Of course can he write and perform live like Axl too? Probably not but then who can?Also the image is rather far removed from the source material, so even a career as an impersonator may be scuppered. Maybe he could sing while a looki-likey takes to the stage! Edited February 28, 2011 by Lines&Noses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dads_kebab Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Juan says on the SCOM video that if he reaches 1,000,000 views, he will record Welcome to the Jungle and Don't Cry on the same day! That would be awesome to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I think if it weren't for the accent and the weird thing where the vocals and music were out of sync later on, it's spretty spot on in regards to timbre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Wolf Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Pretty good. But Axl does it effortlessly, this guy sounds like he is straining for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
