According to Ryan Key of Yellowcard.  Not sure if this has been posted before but in the July 2006 edition of STUFF magazine they had a section on rock and roll and Key was asked who was the biggest rock star of all time.  His response.
"Axl Rose.  He did tons of drugs, dated tons of models and made the rest of the band bail on him.  Rock stars are a thing of the past, but I think Axl would be the biggest feature in the rock star museum if they built one."

They also did a front man family tree, and according to them Axl Rose, Vince Neil, and Bret Michaels evolved from David Lee Roth.  And Axl Rose spawned Chris Cornell, Layne Staley and SCOTT WEILAND.

These three (axl, Vince neil, bret michaels and David Lee Roth) all evolved from Steven Tyler. Steven Tyler evolver from Mick

I think the fact that Axl didnt die at his peak automatically discounts him from those "biggest rock star". Id say the person who embodies RnR most is Jim Morrison.

Yeah, I'm not sure Ryan Key has the ultimate say in who exactly is the biggest rock star of all time, but I thought it was interesting and true.  Unfortunately, part of what makes Axl such a big Rock Star is the stuff people constatntly complain about.  Going on late for shows, cancellations, riots, jumping into crowds.  That's what makes Axl so great.  You've gotta take the good with the bad.  However, so far so good this time around.  No problems to speak of.  They averted disaster at Download, 16 years ago the old band probably would've walked off stage.  Maybe Axl's having a bit of a change of heart as he grows wiser.  Or maybe he knows this could be his last shot to get the new band off and running and he can't afford any slipups.  Either way, good stuff.  I can't wait for a release date, and concert dates for the US.  But until then I hope all the European fans rock their asses off when GNR comes to a city near you.

 Huh

Unlikely since Chris Cornell founded Soundgarden in 1984.

Axl is part Morrison, part Davy Jones, part Mick Jagger...no DLR in Axl at all! And I am a Dave fan.

I think thats an extremely flattering comment to Axl. Somewhat true as well, throw in Perry Farrell as an uncle and youve got it covered

Agreed, Morrison is the blueprint for all rock stars after him - Axl wouldnt even come close. Despite what Danny Sugarman would say in his rubbish book.

Slash is more of a rockstar than Axl I reckon.

Another 'biggest rockstar' would be Keith Richards - imo. 'Keith is dead, hes just too wasted to realise' - Hicks.
