Title: Joplin Influence in Axl? Post by: Sam on January 25, 2006, 04:37:37 PM Anyone notice a Janis Joplin influence in Axl? It just hit me the other day that just watching him onstage reminds me of her. Just the way he carries himself.

Title: Re: Joplin Influence in Axl? Post by: journey on January 25, 2006, 10:13:29 PM Anyone notice a Janis Joplin influence in Axl? It just hit me the other day that just watching him onstage reminds me of her. Just the way he carries himself. I always thought so too. She had a lot of intensity in her voice. Axl's screams are slightly similar to hers. Title: Re: Joplin Influence in Axl? Post by: Pinball Wizard on January 25, 2006, 11:36:29 PM I'll always remember the first time I heard "Cry Baby" and though with myself: "Well, i haven't heard this Guns N' Roses' song...it's cool!!"
Then I knew that it was Janis Joplin's ::) ... He used to sing a lot like her during the 85/88 era... She wasn't a very techinique singer, but she used to sing with her heart, and that's amazing!!! I only saw other two womans who used to sing with as mutch soul and energy as Janis, and they are Aretha Franklin and Elis Regina(a Brazilian singer, she was mind-blowing!!! But, as joplin, died young... :'() She is the coolest female rock singer of all time!! I Love her!! Title: Re: Joplin Influence in Axl? Post by: Doc Emmett Brown on January 26, 2006, 12:58:56 AM Joplin's voice has been described as 'soaked in whiskey'. Axl's voice is different, but they both sing from their heart & soul!
I know that Axl has mentioned Freddie Mercury and Elton John as being influences. But are there any interviews where he has mentioned Janice? The Axl of '86-'89 does remind me of Janice, but the later Axl reminds me more of Freddie. I'd love to hear him cover some old tunes of hers. :yes: Title: Re: Joplin Influence in Axl? Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on January 28, 2006, 07:45:15 PM Agree with the doc, when I first heard Janis I really like the music so much cause it reminds me of Axl voice and vibe, I dont know if he had some influence but I remember hearing Mercedes benz and thats just pure bliss :drool:
Imagine laying with Janis and make her scream that would totally be a turn on. I hope that comentary isnt too much richardnixonish :nervous: Title: Re: Joplin Influence in Axl? Post by: Vicious Wishes on January 30, 2006, 10:10:34 PM I can't tell you how many times I've almost started a thread like this. Janis' voice IS the female version of Axl, imo. Listen to Down on me, and Bye, bye baby. Axl could devastate these songs. Janis does an awesome job all by herself, though.
