Chris 55 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 No way!! He was just too feminine onstage , with the body language and his gay persona...gayness and rock n roll don`t go along well ....Probably one of the stupidest things ever written on this forum.Don't worry, he'll outdo himself soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowebar Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Axl and Plant are the two best frontmen of all time. Axl blows everybody else away completely. Including Jagger, Mercury and Tyler by a long shot. Nobody will ever match the intensity of Axl performing live. Slash knows it too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseIRS Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Im with Slash on this one...Plants a great singer, but as a frontman/showman he left a lot to be desired....Freddie's definitely up there too. Id have to put Iggy in my top 5 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterDay7 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Nice of him to be honest and admit it...Just hearing him say the name Axl is awesome! HahaHe says Axl's name really fast. Like you would when you are saying the name of someone you like or someone you resent. Tough to tell haha but he did mention him and it's very cool. I think Slash is realizing how incredible a frontman Axl was and how great it was to be a part of that. I know he knew it but recognizing it and believing it are different.Axl I'm sure recognizes how great Slash was, but at this time I guess he isn't compelled to say anything nice.In an interview with Piers Morgan (on YouTube, I think) some years ago Slash is asked who he believes was the greater performer - Michael Jackson or Axl Rose.Slash says it's a tough one but he would go for Axl Rose, but then qualifies it by saying that's because it's more his (Slash's) kind of music.

Rustycage Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) It's a culture difference. It's subjective.In a region that loves those sort of performances, it's no surprise they would place it above everything else. Other regions prefer rock to be dangerous, not a "show." Are either right or wrong? Of course not.Was he a great singer? Absolutely.Was he the greatest performer? Depends on if you like those sort of performances. Debatable.Was he "IT" for rock n roll? Debatable.I personally don't think that rock should be an extension of the theatre. Keep it dirty, raw, mean and most of all....Dangerous.

Only in a debate like this would someone deny him the British label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
