Thanks.A year or two ago, someone made this topic and it was laughed at, with Axl blowing Ron away in the poll and people ridiculing the OP. Today, I think it's a more legitimate question. Personally, I think Bumblefoot in 2013 blows Axl away in terms of singing capabilities. What say you? Edited June 1, 2013 by bacardimayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In studio: Axl, no doubt.On stage: dunno... if I'm gonna compare to what I Heard last I'm going for BBF Edited June 1, 2013 by Betty Plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how much his voice has deteriorated since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Bumblefoot. If axl ever gets to the point where he can't sing anymore, I would be perfectly fine with him doing piano or rythm guitar or something and bumble singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaider Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 BBF is way better than Axl. Even Ashba is a better singer than Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. This is so true. I made two great polls in the past and they got moved to that section. It's just nonsense. On topic: Bumblefoot sings better than current Axl. Axl sounds awful.

Bruno P. Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Just listen to both singing There Was a Time. It's like day and night. While Axl never was an amazing singer, he had the power to sing his songs. What's left nowadays? A few screams and that's it. He cant sing the There Was a Time verses properly, he's always out of breath. He cant hit the highest notes. Axl will never, ever be able to sing Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson or Freddie Mercury properly. He's not an all around great singer. He's all about power and range.

SoulMonster Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Bumblefoot is technically good but nah, I wouldn't be willing to pay anything to hear him sing. Boring. Axl, on the other hand, he's got the passion in his voice, the feelings like anger, fury, vulnerability. That I will pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's all about power and range.and that's what I LOVE about Axl. At times he sounds like a lion roaring, and there's like an overnatural aura around him.on a side note, the last performance of him Ive witnessed hardly resembled everything I liked about him (I aint saying it was all his fault, all in all the sound in the stadium was terrible. I think the sound technician must have been high or sth cause nothing made sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 i don't like ron's voice but, my answer is ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll_tj1 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 It's Axl by a pretty good margin. Ron is great, I really like him in GNR, but he'd have remained relatively unknown without joining GNR. If he could make records and tour and make the money he's making playing for Axl, he'd do it. As much as a lot of us recognize Ron has great all around ability, its not like he's setting the world on fire with his solo efforts. For the most part, I've read in this thread people talking about Ron singing songs Axl wrote. Songwriting is every bit as important as the actual vocal of the song, just like a riff and guitar solos, bass line and drum beats. A lot of people can sing, but I believe there's fewer that can write. IMO. Axl's resume in comparison to Ron is laughable. As soon as anyone hears his voice, they know its Axl. It's a true signature sound. I get how everyone likes to beat up a 51 year old guy that plays 3 hour shows, but if you hate it so much, why listen? I don't expect the guy to sound like he did in 1985, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92 or 2006. In the studio I'm certain Axl can do pretty much whatever he wants, but when he's on tour, maybe he's realized he has to back off on his vocals as to be able to preform night after night. Just a guess, I don't know. But I still like to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
