Guns N' Roses Frontman Axl Rose has responded to an unscientific, albeit virally popular, list of "The World's Greatest Singers," which placed him in the top spot. The list claimed he had a range that spanned nearly seven octaves, with his lowest note allegedly appearing in the 2008 Chinese Democracy song "There Was a Time" and his highest in his cover of the Dead Boys' "Ain't It Fun," which appeared on the group's 1994 covers album "The Spaghetti Incident?". He said that he found the recognition flattering and humbling, according to Spin, though he wouldn't top his own list of the greatest singers.


i will go with freddie mercury any day over axle rose but i will admit...this video where he switches ranges is incredible...

Maybe. To me he sounds worse than nails on a chalk board. His humility is admirable though

Who doesn't like GnR, but the greatest?

I've only recently come to realization that Robert Plant is the all time best male singer.

Tough call. Freddie Mercury was just amazing.

I did a then and now look at Axl Rose. In his heyday..he was an amazing front man. Now? It's sad.

Those guys were on crack when they made that list

 

[CrusaderFrank]

It reminds of of Zappa's quote on rating guitar players

 

[hjmick]

Best ever, Mercury hands down. Best living? Whoever floats your boat I suppose...

lol i saw this article the other day and thought the same thing since i always found his voice kind of annoying...

if you read the story though, as bones mentioned, this measure of 'greatest' was all about the voice 'range'...

to me axle rose always sounded like more of a screecher...

i also always loved freddy mercury who has amazing range and a MUCH better voice!

 

[Trinnity]

Can't help but mention Robert Plant.

You want range?

Rob Halford was better.

Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Axl Rose:

None of them can do THIS without going falsetto — NONE:

Freddie Mercury is the best IMHO but Steve Perry from Journey is also better than Axel Rose. GNR would make one of the best all time rock bands but Axel Rose would not have made my list for top 10 all time rock singers.
