Thoughts? at this point i want axl to front queen and every other rock band queen is a great idea cause axl obviosly knows and love the material thin lizzy would be another band that axl could front -- specially because most of the songs are in low voice and axls low voice is terrific and we all know axl loves lizzy i cant stand listening to another ThreeUnion show with those hired hands destroying the songs and then again they are playing the same old songs axl wanted to bury appetite in 1989 i cant believe he is still doing 6/7/8 appetite songs per show axl/dc has been much more fun than this threeunion thing my main hope is that guns n roses gets back together and releases many many albums just get Izzy and Steven, get rid of the hired hands, write some rocking tunes and release them its so fucking easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's nice he's helping AC/DC and I'm sure it's great for him but just because he's doing this doesn't mean he's going to go on to front every band in the known universe.

Lies They Tell Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Axl in AC/DC is a pretty natural fit, cause AC/DC is all about high pitched raspy screaming. But Queen is something else. I might like it, cause I love Axl's voice, but it definitely wouldn't sound even remotely like Queen, so I don't see it as a good idea. Besides, Axl's voice at the moment sounds great when he screams. But when he sings stuff like SCOM, he tends to sound weaker. So it's impossible to say what Axl would sound like if he sang Queen. It might sound like pure helium Mickey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeaxl Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Wasn't axl suppose to be rumoured to replace the late great Freddie around 93. Brain may worked on chi dem so maybe it was true. But axl and Freddie are the 2 greatest singers to exist but on 2 ends of the scale. It wouldn't work. Axl couldn't sing the show must go on or days of our lives, nor could Fred pull of jungle or double talking jive motherfucker! 2 great singers in 2 great bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThermoNuclearWarrior Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 GN'R should just do a live cover of Don't Stop Me Now. I think Axl could spit the verses in the vein of Perfect Crime and YCBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I would like to see him try simply to see what he's capable of at 54 years of age and how multi dimensional he can make his voice.

Nobody doubted Axl's ability to sing the music, or whether his voice would suit it. Much like you wouldn't want to hear Freddie singing Thunderstruck or Welcome To The Jungle; Axl on Queen's material (the bulk of it at least) just wouldn't work from a stylistic point of view. He might hit the notes, but his rasp doesn't suit the music at all.... in comparison, AC/DC is perhaps an even better fit for his current voice than GN'R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might hit the notes, but his rasp doesn't suit the music at all.... in comparison, AC/DC is perhaps an even better fit for his current voice than GN'R. From most of what I read prior to Axl joining ACDC there were huge concerns with his voice, and how his voice would fit. The surprise came when Axl was so good on Brian's material over Bon's...but I think a vast number of people really thought Axl would come out as the braided guy with a high pitched voice that has no fit for ACDC...nobody anticipated we were going to get early 90's Axl on vocals. The additional ammo came in the form of Axl's professionalism, so I think that hate still lingers. The only reason id like to hear Axl on Queen material is to see how he manipulates his voice, right now we don't think he can find a mid range with clean vocals that would suit Queen on many songs, but ever since this ACDC thing I feel like Axl has some tricks up his sleeves...give him time to prepare and maybe he finds that vocal range again that comes off less like Mickey and more like a late 80's Axl...is it likely? No but I have a hard time counting Axl completely out of anything right now, he's a great vocalist. All speculation of course, if Axl ever joins Queen I don't think the world could handle it...we would have truly entered the Twilight Zone.

PITBOSS Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Sure let's get Axl to sing covers fronting past bands for good- lol. I'm enjoying Axl DC for the fact that we get to hear him sing some new to him tunes, but seriously- new gnr tunes are what we want. You know even if they are reworked cd2 tunes. Dude needs to concentrate on gnr and not be reliving Queens glory days. Sorry, I bet he could pull it off but my vote is no. No disrespect to queen.

Philipm787 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 There is no way in hell Axl will ever be the singer of Queen. Not even a huge Queen fan, but his voice doesn't suit at all, as proven by that horrid rendition of TYMD. And Axl can't just rasp Queen songs, he'd need to use his full voice, which, as proven by NR, still sounds like pure shite. I prefer Axl as a singer, but in terms of singing technicalities, power and consistency, Freddie absolutely blows Axl outta the water, whether some of you like it on here or not.
