That said, I do an AWESOME Axl Rose impression, you should here me sing November Rain :P
they shoulda got James Labrie (lead singer of dream theatre) to sing, he's absolutly fantastic. And he cites queen as an inspiration, good match, yah!

Whoa guys. Axl Rose has never had anything but extremely positive things to say about Freddie Mercury, he had a true appreciation for him. The Freddie Mercury tribute concert was more about celebrating Freddie than the actual songs. Axl deserved to be there.
GnR was, in early 1992, one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Ignorant loudmouth homophobe or not, it was a huge coupe to have Axl and the band on the bill (as it was with Metallica and that phoner that U2 did). And Freddie was a huge influence on Axl. Axl's from a very blue collar working class background, where casual homophobia is still the norm, and even moreso 20 or 30 years ago when a guy like Axl was coming up in the world. I'd daresay many of us would prefer not to have ignorant things we said 15 years ago continually held against us today.
Having said that, I still think he's a wanker with a shitty voice.

Blah blah. There should have been more Roger Daltrey.

He DID do a great job on 'I Want It All'.

There was too much Gary Cherone, Axl Rose, Metallica and Def Leppard! xD
It's really odd that this tribute to Freddie was more a tribute to Brian, as most artists were of his favorite genre and most songs played are written by him.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]cmsdrums wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Axl certainly didn't hog the stage - Guns n Roses agreed to cut their own mini-set by one song (they ropped Sweet Child O Mine) and only did two songs as opposed to three like most of the other big artists. Out of every one, GnR are the ones, based on previous reputation, you would think would have the biggest problem with thi, but Axl was fine. The reason for the cut was that Spinal Tap had guitar problems and nearly couldn't get going, and also Extreme performed More Than Words and Love of My Life unscheduled.

Spinal Tap had problems with guitar?!? LOL It was all part of their show. You know, they are the nearly legendary Spinal Tap. There's always a problem or two when they hit the stage :)

The reason Axl was allowed on stage more than anyone else is that he & G n R where the biggest thing in music at that time. And he DID steal the show for me. George Michael was ok as was Bowie but many others were an embarassment. The less said about Robert Plants performance the better. Very ill judged. The real satrs of this show were the rock bands. Metallica, G n R, Def Leppard and Extreme were easilly the best on stage that day.
Except for Spinal Tap of course :)

i always thought that lisa stainsfield did a great job... her voice is not a rock voice, but she seemed to be a good match. i think the extreme medley was great, and seal was quite ok with wwtlf, my favourites were daltrey and george michael. axl... well he's axl :D not the best singer, not the best showman but entertaining...
Damn Brian May and his choice of songs.
Personaly, I thought the Tribute had two much of Scorpions! ;)
