What does Axl have so much in common with Freddie Mercury?

[Buddy J.B.]

I hear people compare these two, I just think "what?"I think Axl has nothing in common with other real-life musicians except Brian Wilson from the Beach boys. To me,  he's similiar to Howard Hughes and the movie character Eddie from " Eddie and the Cruisers."

  Yes they do 

I think that Axl and Freddie had in common is that way they can manage the audience they both could handle great crouds and bring out a great show, even though they are different in lots of ways, the frontmanship it's quite essential to have a great show.
