Facekicker Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Do you think Axl was deliberately referencing Jackie Wilson when he used that lyric?What other Soul/R&B musicians do you think Axl might listen to/be inspired by.I'd be surprised if he isn't a fan of Marvin Gaye myself. Maybe we will get a song inspired by Heard it through the Grapevine one day? Interesting tidbit about Jackie WilsonHe was in the middle of singing "Lonely Teardrops" when he suffered a heart attack, during the middle of the line "My heart is crying." When he collapsed on stage, audience members initially thought it was part of the act. Edited May 16, 2013 by TheDiceMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I've always wondered if it was a reference to Jackie. I guess we'll never know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Motown music back in the 60's was such a force. So many good bands and singers came out of that time. I'm sure Axl's listened to Motown music too. There were such amazing songs, and if he got any inspiration from them, good for Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
