I've been waiting for this one.  Slash and Myles performing "Beautiful Dangerous" in Singapore:

Fantastic!  Myles does great.

I love that vid w/Fergie!
Myles performs it well, but he is no Fergie...

[D]

HAHA would love to hear him flub a line and accidentally sing  When I spin on the pole haha

Performed well, but I still think it's weird song for Myles to sing live. Would much rather he sang the Chris Cornell tune, or even give Gotten a go in a live setting!

   Never thought I'd hear that from anyone!  People are usually bitchin' about her.

I liked hearing Myles sing it, though - he did a great job!

Exactly, I mean I don't exactly like Myles struggling his way through GN'R classics.    But letting Fergie have any sort of contact with songs like SCOM or Paradise City is just comedic. Slash playing with Fergie, is probably one of the worst career decisions Slash has ever made.

And all of this stuff with Myles recently is just lackluster at best, I feel that Slash is like " what the hell, let's just get another album out there, I don't believe in it, but I'm gonna do it anyway, so I can avoid the VR situation a little longer". 

But yeah, in all honestly, I'm so completely dissapointed in Slash since VR took a break. He seems to be doing anything and everything to just carry on, for the sake of it.

At first I did not like the idea either but BD has done very well. And has become one of my favorites on the album.

Myles Kenndy does not struggle through any song he is a great guy and has amazing chemistry with Slash.

Slash works very hard on all his music and is excitied about the album with Myles. What you are saying here is totally disrespectful to Slash. If you don't like him or his music that is your right. But to persume to think that he is doing solo work just to avoid VR is crazy. Duff is very busy with his solo career right now. Do you think he is working with Loaded so he can avoid VR?

Here is a good example of Myles struggling to get through a GN'R song. 

1 Myles is knowhere near the correct key that this song should be sung in.
2 Myles often says the wrong lines, and messes up parts of the song.
3 The "Do you know where you are, your in the jungle, your gonna die" part is diabolical.
4 Myles' voice never changes range, he just whines all the time. 

conclusion = Axl is the only person who can sing Guns N' Roses songs, and no one else should even attempt such a thing.

At no time did I mention Axl in my post. I agree with you that Axl is the best singer for his on songs. Most singers sing their own songs better than anyone else can. Myles is not trying to be Axl and JMO he does a great job with all the songs in the set.

To say no one but Axl should be singing GNR songs is like saying no one but Slash should be playing  AFD/UYI songs. Both statements are wrong!

That's not neccessarily true. 

Guitars are an instrument in which people can indeed emulate each other, for example if 2 different guitar players played a C chord, chances are it's going to sound similar. Where as a voicebox is unique, and something that can't be replaced or compared to different guitar players, playing the same parts. 

And although guitar players can have a different vibe and feel to each other, I don't think you can compare it to an actual singing voice.

But any good musican knows the notes and the feel of the cords in their songs better than anyone else. That is what is meant by the phrase "putting your heart into it". Maybe we should agree to disagree!  Have a good evening.

It's all subjective no matter how you slice it. Some people might prefer Myles voice to Axl's. I sure as hell ain't one of them, but I'm sure there are people out there.

I think Myles has a pretty good voice, especially compared to others out there today. I think he does the GNR songs about as well as you could expect for someone not named Axl. I definitely preferred Myles and Slash's My Michelle over Robin era GNR, so I'm happy I had a chance to see it. Plus being able to hear Civil War live, something Axl hasn't played since Slash as far as I know, was amazing.

I thought this thread was about Myles performing "Beautiful Dangerous".  But maybe I'm wrong.
