trqster Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Since nowadays Axl seems to sing almost all the time with clean (no rasp) vocals I believe it's time for a fair comparison with Myles Kennedy's naturally clean voice, at the same song.Which one sounds better at the same song - Axl or Myles?Axl's band '12 SCOM Slash's band '12 SCOM Edited February 26, 2013 by trqster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJones90 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I don't really like either version of SCOM these days to be honest. Which is a damn shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitch_77 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 They both should stop playing it, but to answer, Myles sings it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettytiedup88 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Both as bad as each other frankly. I can't listen to Myles at all though. Its the only reason i've not gone to see any Slash solo shows. I really don't like his voice. I see why people do, but it annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Slash has some big fucking biceps for such an old skinny guy. Wonder if he's juicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Myles is terrible. Axl isn't./thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreCC Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Slash's amazing playing Sweet Child O' Mine. You spot the original one right away! it's that obvious! The way he plays is just unique.As far as voices. You posted 2 videos that don't have equal kind of quality, so you can't really evaluate it, besides Axl is the original.. Original is always best!Myles video has much lesser quality then the Axl one...Even though i would prefer Axl any day. On this videos Myles sings it on Key, Axl doesn't and looks like he's dying for oxygen... Edited February 26, 2013 by AndreCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeetarMikey Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Myles definitely sings it better out of those 2 clips, i like the vocal lick he does on the "...and see an ounce of pain" at around 1.50. To me, on average, Myles sings a lot of the old Guns stuff better than Axl nowadays. He's got more energy, more power and he obviously takes care of his voice. For the record, Axl is my favourite singer/frontman of all time and I know Myles' voice can be a bit grating and he's certainly not a singer I would say I really like, but I'd rather him sing Guns stuff with a fresher, more powerful voice (With Slash playing his guitar parts) than Axl struggling and with the ol' Mickey Mouse/no rasp thing and have 2 players take turns in the SCOM solo for instance.

Ana_1991 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Myles has more energy. Axl sounds like a child trying to mimic someone for the first time! Shame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Myles is a lot more charismatic and humble towards the fans. He generates an awesome positive feeling live. When singing the new Slash songs, he's better than Axl's best performances nowadays but I still prefer to hear the old songs bu Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Myles of course (and I don't even like Myles). Axl current voice is damn awful and he's out of breath every 5 seconds which kills the entire performance.As for the true Gn'R sound. Slash hands down.

saber_ Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Myles just sounds too much like a theater major at an open mic trying to impress the frat-rock crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno P. Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 and have 2 players take turns in the SCOM solo for instance.Because that's how it was done in the studio. But you obviously don't know that, so be happy that I taught you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Myles, is a a better singer overall for sure now. He sounds better with Alter Bridge than with Slash in my opinion. the music fits his voice more than Slash's garage rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetRose Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I agree with AndreCC about the guitars. You can spot Slash's Sweet Child O' Mine style blindfolded. I have never heard a DJ version that I do like. Vocals. To be honest,I didnt watch both all the way though. I will say this …does seem to be good vocals from Axl based on the first verse that I listened to. Could it be better,sure. Myles,hmmm. While its not bad…I just prefer Axl singing it. If it would sound like its suppose to. Which would be how he sang it yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I hate the sound of MIles Kennedy's voice, so even if Axl sucks big time, I'll take Axl anyday, especially singing GNR songs.No one can do justice to GNR songs except Axl. Miles's voice sounds so fuckin whiney and he doesn't have the passion that Axl has!He ruined the HOF by trying to perform GNR songs. I would have rather no one sang at all! It was just terrible and disrespectful to Axl Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have missed this, but your God failed to show up for the induction, so they had to pick somebody to fill in for him. Axl could have showed up and performed, but he - like always - cares more about the lawsuits and personal feuds than he does about his FANS.

Nosaj Thing Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I don't think it was disrespectful. Duff asked Myles to sing and he declined, Duff insisted and he finally accepted. When he was singing the songs right after the verses ended, he stepped back because he knew it wasn't "his" show, it was Duff, Matt, Steven, Slash and Gilby show as they were part of real Guns. If you don't like his voice when singing Gn'R tunes is one thing but the guy is a class A, he's really humble. Only stupid people deluded Axl fans would think otherwise.

trqster Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 And Myles at 43 is in great physical shape and still with a great natural looking hair, just like Axl still was at that age, minus the good looking hair...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
