AMAZING Axl impression

[BurningHills]

Wow- what tribute band does this guy sing for?

[Crazyman]

Isn't this already in the youtube thread?

[Robman?]

that looked like Axl from a distance (looked like Bret Michaels too), but he does the movements wrong. I've never seen axl alongside a guitarist imitating playing a solo.

[badintentions]

How is that "amazing" in any way at all?

[HamsterDemocracy]

I've never seen axl alongside a guitarist imitating playing a solo.

That's because Axl doesn't suffer from mental retardation.

[AmyRose]

AMAZING Axl impression??......oh please. A terrible one I'd say.

[HamsterDemocracy]

Yeah, I thought it was terrible, just sounded like typical hair metal.

Axl has one of those unique voices that few can match in any way.

[DunkinDave]

Fat guy dressed like Axl - yeah, awesome impersonation!

 

[BurningHills]

I thought he sounded quite a bit like Axl - whatever.

[KIKO2K6]

Long hair and a bandana = AXL impression??......
This guy sucks...he sounded nothing like Axl.

[IndiannaRose]

Sssssure....

[BurningHills]

Hey - get off my balls, I heard it, thought it was good, and posted it. So let's not rake me over the coals here, alright? People have posted worse and gotten away with more, so get off of my nuts.

There's a band called "UK Guns N' Roses." They've got a great Axl impersonator. He's got the voice nailed and everything. Their website is down for some reason right now, but I went on there after accidentally finding a video of them on YouTube and discovered some demo's of them. The guy nails "Sweet Child" much better than Axl does for the most part, and he's really great on "Rocket Queen." They play the songs great as well as having the look down pretty well; it's not JUST his voice that they've got nailed perfectly. Here's some YouTube bits of them, although the video is out of synch with the audio (typical on YouTube):

Of all GN'R cover bands, they're the best I've heard.

But still, you can tell it's not Axl...I've never heard someone totally nail Axl.

Was watching a video of a guy on YouTube impersonating "the 25 most annoying voices in music" singing Bohemian Rhapsody...he sounded just like Dylan, Bon Jovi, et al...but when he got to Axl, he could only pull of the physical stuff, and his voice sounded nothing like him.

At times, this guy sounds more like Axl than Axl does nowadays (due to his age obviously), but I agree Axl has a VERY unique voice and singing style. This guy is the closest I've seen, especially on that YouTube "Rocket Queen" video. Goodness he sounds pretty much just like him...too bad the dang video is only like a minute long and the audio is out of synch.

But we like your nuts, BurningHills. 

Don't make me say goodbye to them. 

(Just kidding...I agree mate, you're getting a hard time and I don't think you deserve it.)

From now on though, maybe instead of starting a new thread post it in YouTube thread? I think that's why people act like pricks. Happened to me when I posted the "Axl Rose Goes Crazy" video, too.

I once applied to joing UK GNR (back when they were called Bad Obsession). Really good guys, can't recommend them enough if they come near you. Fun night out.

UK GUNS ROCKS! I wish there was more videos or audio with them. Anybody know where to get it?

The Best GN'R coverband i've seen in a looong time

[deanaxlrose]

the closest  person ever who  sounded like Axl.
