scooby845 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) I have always been wondering if Axl could be the frontman of Queen. Since he always cited Queen as his major influence, especially at Wembley Freddie Tribute 1992 saying - Queen is art.. Now back to the present day.. in an era that nobody thought would be possible (GNR reunion and Axl/DC)... I mean I understand that Queen lately hasn't been active but if they would love to seal their legacy I absolutely think Axl would be an appropriate frontman for the farewell tour. I mean he certainly has the vocal range that suits the band.. Thoughts? Edited May 14, 2016 by scooby845 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Its be really cool, I think hed nail it. But he is too busy now and Queen seems quite happy with Adam Lambert now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) It would be, without question, truly horiffic . Not being mean to Axl, but just no. Edited May 14, 2016 by MillionsOfSpiders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I think a big part of the problem with GnR is to do with Queen. Cuz Axl loves Queen. I think he wanted GnR to be a modern day Queen. And Queen are the biggest load of fuckin' shite this side of Christendom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR needs Axl to sit down and record some fucking songs with Slash N' Duff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Axl's voice wouldn't suit Queen songs imo, so no. Edited May 14, 2016 by Jw224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, there music is terrific. The thing I like about them is they didn't take themselves too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And No cuz i never mentioned the Vicious Mercury thing although i was expecting it to be brought up. The reason i dont like em? Honestly, the musics awful, the lyrics particularly.

Because Axl is Guns N' Roses' singer and we're jealous when he does non-GNR related stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnr Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 As a huge Queen fan and as a huge GN'R fan I really can say: NO fuckin way. I love Axl but he hasn't the sensitiveness that is needed to sing Queen songs. I can see him in songs like 'We will rock you' or 'Radio Gaga' but songs like 'Killer Queen' just no. I would hate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajandreas Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 First off, Queen slander will not be tolerated... But let's be real, as much as I love Axl he couldn't tackle Queen songs. Not at this age. That's not a knock against him either, Freddie's my favorite singer of all time and there aren't many people who can sing his songs. Lambert is "acceptable."

Gackt Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Axl and Freddy just don't have the same style at all in terms of singing, it'd be like replacing Vince Neil with a dying animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
