This is my full view of axl
I think Axl was the best frontman in terms of showmanship without a full circus on stage. What you see is what u get.
He's not the best singer in the world (whatever that means) and it never was, except when it comes to sing with that kind of anger: that raspy high pitched voice is top 1.
If we talk about his music or his idea of music, he's really, really advanced. He knows what he's doing or where he wants to go, he can put togheter different styles without losing melody and harmony, even if sometimes (or all the fuckin times
) he should remember this: the less the better. Lyrically he's very very good, even if sometimes he's a little bit repetitive (i don't know how many times i hear the key word "blame" in his lyrics
).
Putting it all together, he's obviously in my top 5
