I actually like "My World". It's not my favorite or anything but it's kind of a quirky weird little departure to end the album with. You want to hear awful, listen to "Dust N' Bones", which sounds like a crappy bar band trying to write a song that sounds like Guns n Roses.

Axl reminds me of Dr Rockso cause to me they're both Rock n roll clowns.

I only had 2 albums from GNR and that was Use your illusion I & II and i liked them but i never liked Axl's prima donna attitude that has always been my main problem with him.. my 2nd problem with him is his raspy rock voice sometimes annoy the f*ck out of me.

I liked their first two albums, Appetite for Destruction in '87 and Lies in '88.

Well I suppose your right to some respects but I still find that he sings with a high pitched tenor sounding voice most of the time. I love Petty by the way.

I think the realty of GnR is that during a certain period they were more than the sum of their parts. I have no interest in solo output from any of them, but together during a particular period of their lives, it worked. I think there are quite a few bands out there like that. Jane's Addiction comes to mind.
I totally agree, I can't think of one Velvet Revolver or solo song that stands out for me. It looks like the punk influence went a long way for GNR, for Velvet Revolver has that horrible 90's commercial rock sound behind it, & Axl seems to think he's Elton John.

Fixed the first part for you and I'd sooner eat my dinner listening to Elton John than Axl Rose.

Or do you mean Scott Weiland? If you do then I'd take him everyday over both Axl and Elton.

Depending on the song I might actually agree with you in the case of Axl. I'm not the biggest Elton John fan, but he's generally fun. Of course I haven't dug into his non-single songs.

I didn't think he did anything other than hit single songs.

Now that I've mentioned that, I sure some smart ass will mention all the sophisticated prog rock and art rock songs that I never knew about.

One of the best songs with Axl Rose was "Welcome to the Jungle". That was a good song.

His voice is fine, but like Moss said, the fact that he makes all these strange noises during his singing is incredibly annoying.
