Sorry...don't mean to be a dick...but are saying that you've been soaking your head in water and screaming into it ten times a day, almost every day for the past 4 years? Are you a singer by trade or do you do this just so you can sound like Axl? Sorry, I just find it a bit curious is all.

I think it's unlikely that 90% + of forum members here sound exactly like Axl, as the posts suggest.

I sang Used to Love Her with my fiends band one day when they were just messing aorund. they were like "Holy shit! You gotta do that with us on open jam night" I was supposed to last night but I chickened out. I want to but I'm scared to put myself out there.
I promised I'd do it next time(two weeks). I think I can pull it off as long as I just don't hold back and go for it. I'd go more for the live sounding version off the double live album. Scratchy and rough. There was a band who did some original hard metal songs last night though and I did do a long Axl type scream at the begining of one of their songs and I got a few cheers for that but to actually sing lyrics I'm scared.

Do it man, it'll be awesome. It takes a lot of guts to do it. Don't worry, what's the worst that can happen?

Nothing I guess. Worst case scenario is I get ragged on by my buddies and told not to quit my day job.
I used to sing in front of crowds when I was young(grade 5 and 6) all the time and I did sing in a church choir(just like Axl lol). the last time I sang in front of a crowd was in 1999 on Canada Day in front of about 2000 people. There was a band playing covers down on the lake before the fireworks. I told them if they did Song 2 by Blur I'd sing it. They did and I did. It was fun and people seemd to dig it. I suppose I should be encouraged that my buddies in the band want me to do Used to Love Her. If they thought it was shit they wouldn't ask me to so..... I'll probably do it in a few weeks.

i think if we really practice very hard.maybe we can make our original unique singing voice.that Axl did. Axl does not have a god given talent for singing.he practiced very hard.

I love this thread, it's hilarious! It's also funny how we only sound like Axl when we're either sick, drunk or have hurt ourselves! (except for a few lucky ones, not including me...)
He truly does have an uniqe voice!
And Bono, how did it go with your frontman thingy?

LOL...hey maybe all those gathering before the NY shows can get together and put on a Axl-Like talent show!
I've been known to do a mean 'Patience' on karaoke. Have gotten a lot of compliments on the last part of the song too.

Do it, that';ll be great!! It's a great open mic/party/karakoe jam. Easy to sing, simple lyrics, crowd gets into it in a guys vs. girls kinda way. Good luck!?
As far as everyone "sounding" like Axl, I think it might have to do with Axl covering such a wide range, that some of us "fit" into one song, or part of a song where he is all over the place (WTTJ, SCOM etc). Axl sounds different on Yesterday,? It's so easy, and Estranged for example, so some of us may fall into? either the Yesterday, or Estranged category... But none or very few of us can cover all 3, or all GnR songs for that matter. Me, I can't sing very well, so yeah I'd probably have to do Used to love her, simple song, simple lyrics, decent crowd reaction.

I got a sore throat the last time I tried singing Nightrain. How do vocalists prevent/heal sore throats?
