What do you think of axl playing guitar
(playing dead horse in 1993 and at Rock in Rio 2001 playing madagascar).

I think it looks a bit ... rediculous. He only plays the real simple part of a song and then puts the guitar away again.

He's an amazing singer and frontman so if he sucks at playing guitar, it doesn't really matter!!!!

I think it's fucking cool! He also play rythm on Shotgun Blues..

Robbie · « **Reply #3 on:** March 27, 2006, 09:41:49 AM »

I don't think he was even playing at RIRIII, you couldn't hear his guitar!!!

I've seen him in the video and he's good. He's a lead singer who plays guitar

i have the same opinion. when he stop playing i can not notice any difference.
but i don't give a shit if he plays or not. i just want to hear his voice and in two months i will hear!

He's definately a writer and singer only. Watch when they played dead horse live back in the day, Axl leaves a few notes out, keeps it really simple but sounds alright.

True, of course he still is one of the best frontman I just think it's pointless that he plays guitar. Especially at RIRIII since I couldn't even hear him play.

AXL dont need guitar...It makes him look a lil stupid..
Only vocals and piano, sorry.

chineseroses · « **Reply #10 on:** March 27, 2006, 11:09:03 AM »

i dont like him playing guitar, id rather him run around on stage rather than standing there. I dont think its a big problem for him to play guitar on perhaps one or two songs like mercury did, just not anymore.

I absolutely totally agree I think that Axl Running around was a huge part of the live show.

Lead singers and frontmen DON'T make great guitarists, they leave the solo's and hard bits to the lead guitarists. Mercury tried it at live aid but couldnt pull it off, because watching him sing we will rock you while running around is better. Kurt Cobain wasnt Dimebag, James hecfeild ain't lars ulrich and bono aint the edge. The Only Guy who has pulled it off was jimi hendrix and no one will be able to beat him, but matt heafy from trivium is kinda half decent.

i hate writing like this

C'mon, Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd can sing and play guitar damn well. Jimi's not the only one to pull it off. Mark Knopfler aswell. Both up there in the top ranks of guitar players. Plus someone you even mentioned, James Hetfield?

Tombat · « **Reply #17 on:** March 27, 2006, 03:51:56 PM »

There's plenty frontman that do rock on the guitar aswell (Zakk Wylde, anyone?).

Just not axl, it doesn't fit his image.

daveyjc · « **Reply #18 on:** March 27, 2006, 05:26:07 PM »

i hope hes not a guitarist

misterbrownstone · « **Reply #23 on:** March 28, 2006, 11:54:21 AM »

rofl @ Metallicrap.

anywho, Axl should stick to running around and being a good front man, rather than guitaring it up. sure on like dead horse, it's fine, but surely not on every song.

DX-THeGAME · « **Reply #24 on:** March 29, 2006, 05:18:55 AM »

The addition of another guitar can add more depth to a song and allow it to be closer than the studio version. Almost all the bands I have heard remix multiple guitars in studio, and then it sounds flat when it gets played live.

Ifn Axl wants to get on the guitar and play a few chords, I think he knows what he is doing. If anything, the rap crap he does during the interludes is a bad idea more than playing a few chords with the guys..

Mattie_dude · « **Reply #25 on:** March 29, 2006, 05:25:54 AM »

How about Dave Mustaine from megadeth, he does a great job of both guitaring and singing. Axl can do whatever he wants,lol, as long as he does a good job of vocals i don't really care.

He did that also on Rocket Queen in 1989 concerts as well if I recall.
He also played some harmonica during the club days (on Nightrain)...
