username Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm playing some TSI at the moment. On Down On The Farm Axl seems to really get into the UK Subs English vibe. So, Axl's English accent on that song, really fucking awesome or just really lame? I'm fucking loving it! He should do more brit-punk shit like this!

Gagarin Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think he could sing like that every night perfectly I believe. Chinese Democracy is similar that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAT VIDEO QUALITY Speaking of Soho, came across this funny story from HTGTH the other day:November 13th, 2006 - Baltimore, MD @ 1st Mariner ArenaAxl introduces You Could Be Mine by telling a story "So I was in England, I was walking around the Soho area there, and this young guy with spiky hair and shit, had a Motley Crue t-shirt and shit, comes running. He's like 'Dude! Dude! Dude! Dude!' Pulls his shirt down and he had tattooed right across, Fit To Burn". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies They Tell Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Axl should sing more with the kind of a normal voice that he uses on Down On The Farm. That shit's easier to pull of, so maybe people then wouldn't complain so much about his voice. Maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Axl sounded good doing an English impression. I loved the album, TSI - raw!Ain't It Fun, wow - Slash sounds so good on this track. Best track on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I like it. We all know Axl was born in scotland though. So he should have sang it in his native tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I've always loved Down on the Farm, his accent too. I'm curious, does it sound accurate to British listeners ? I just did a search on it and there was a poll here in 2003: Poll: How do you rate Axl's vocals on "Down on the Farm" How do you rate Axl's vocals on "Down on the Farm"they're cool, I like 'em aweful, he should have never attempted the accentUnfortunately, I can't vote or see the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumbleine Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 the down on the farm cover is one of my favs from TSI.the song is about being in rehab and not being able to drink and fuck.and the way Axl sings,regardless of fake accent,is awesome.that album is,as time goes by,becoming better and better in my ears.but is it soho,London he's singing about?i for some reason thought it was new york.

Amish Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I don't think any singer should do a different accent unless it's a cover like Down on the Farm or if they're just trying to be funny maybe. I think Silkworms is a cool song but I really wish Axl didn't do a British accent on it because it doesn't make any sense. Why sing like a British person if you're not? Green Day made an entire career out of doing it and it pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's one of the few songs I like off TSI, along with AIF and SIDHY.I like his english sounding voice. He uses it on silkworms too. It's really interesting how many different voices Axl can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
