Share Both are great singers for different reasons. Axl has the edge and the raw stage presence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites Replies 91 Created 6 yr Last Reply 6 yr Top Posters In This Topic 6 4 6 5 Share Axl is (easily) the bigger "star" if you will. I'd go 1A and 1B I guess. Axl wins (but this is a Guns board and I love Axl). Link to comment Share on other sites Share I thought it was going to be tough, but the throat clearing section really gave the win to Axl Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites Share I have never liked Maiden, so I'll go with Axl on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites Share Whenever I have to make a choice, I always compare the artists at their prime. For me, Axl wins this because of uniqueness in voice and stage presence. I only wish Axl could have aged as well as Bruce. Axl at 38 was already a total mess vocally and physically. The man aged quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites Share These comparisons are fun, but everyone has their own taste, Bruce for example, is not even the best vocalist of Maiden for me There mite be a lot of better vocalists than Axl, which I dont know , but he's easily the best frontman ever for me cuz he's GOD. Then comes a league of legends as Mercury, Plant, Patton, Daltrey and Jagger. Link to comment Share on other sites Share Axl in his prime destroyes everyone i mean guy had biggest vocal range in all of music, now we will see how it will sound on this tour. No matter what Axl is always for me and Freddie is second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites Share 3 minutes ago, MYWIFEMYLIFE said: These comparisons are fun, but everyone has their own taste, Bruce for example, is not even the best vocalist of Maiden for me There mite be a lot of better vocalists than Axl, which I dont know , but he's easily the best frontman ever for me cuz he's GOD.

You didn't really throw Mike Patton in with that list did you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites Share 1 minute ago, tsinindy said: You didn't really throw Mike Patton in with that list did you? actually he's for me Link to comment Share on other sites Share 3 minutes ago, MYWIFEMYLIFE said: actually he's for me Well....alrighty then Link to comment Share on other sites Share Bruce Dickinson is the man. It's not even close for me. I still love Axl, and they really are quite different. But for the sake of the thread, Bruce crushes it. When you go to an Iron Maiden show, you don't have 65 threads the night of the tour opener about "Mickey Mouse", "helium voice", oxygen tanks, etc., with regards to Bruce's vocals. You know he's going to deliver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites Share Just now, Zeppelin said: Bruce Dickinson is the man. It's not even close for me.

You know he's going to deliver. He's definitely got Axl beat over the long haul because Axl fell apart after 1993. I think prime Axl beats him (and everyone else). Don't Cry '86 at the Roxy. Pure fucking talent right there. Early Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury are the only others that are in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites Share Without any doubt - Bruce is the man! Link to comment Share on other sites Share Oh I agree that Axl in his prime was an absolute beast. A freak of nature, really. But I guess I look at it differently, because I don't want to always have to reference performances from the 80's or early 90's. Axl's had some great vocals since then, but we all know he's been hit and miss. For me, consistency trumps the rest.

Axl's had some great vocals since then, but we all know he's been hit and miss. For me, consistency trumps the rest. For sure. I definitely give Bruce the edge in this poll due to career consistency. But at the same time, rock and roll is a young man's game. Part of the mystique around Zeppelin is that they were forced to quit before we got to see them get really old (like we are seeing with AC/DC in recent years). GN'R sort of had that same mystique due to Axl going into hiding for so long in the mid-90's to early 2000's. Unfortunately he came back as "Guns N' Roses" with a band that wasn't really GN'R and he was no longer the incredible Axl of 1985-1993. Link to comment Share on other sites Share Are we going for vocal range ? Are we going for stage presence ? Are we going for interaction with the crowd ? Are we going for number of gigs played ? Are we going for album sales ? Both of them are great front men in their respective bands let's NOT compare them. Link to comment Share on other sites Share You guys should watch some Iron Maiden live videos. Link to comment Share on other sites Share It is a ridiculous question as one sings metal and the other sings hard rock/rock n' roll: Bruce would be superior if we were discussing metal, particularly the brand of progressive operatic metal Maiden specialise in, whereas Axl would be better singing blues-based sleaze rock and power ballads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites Share Bruce is fantastic! Just saw them about a week ago and he still gets the crowd going! Axl was the best in his prime 87-93 but then he fell off of the deep end. Now he is making a big comeback this year which is awesome! Axl wrote more songs so I guess he wins that category. But Bruce can fly a big ol' jet airliner! It's a tie! Link to comment Share on other sites Share I love metal, and a hand full of maiden tunes, but i find it difficult listening to a full maiden album and a big part of that is Bruce's voice. The operatic style just doesnt do it for me at all. Great guy and front man just dont care for his band very much! Link to comment Share on other sites Share maiden's songs are way too easy to sing.

Am I missing something here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites Share Ive tried hundred times get into Iron Maiden, but no, does nothing for me. Dont even understand why, great frontman, I like bruce, sure they have couple of great songs( "couple" lol), incredible history etc etc etc. But no, I just dont get it. Have a HUGE respect though, im glad they are still around. So Axl for sure. But If this was axl vs Layne Staley.... Link to comment Share on other sites Share 23 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: Huh? Am I missing something here? They are much closer than you realize. Dickinson has 51 songwriting credits on Wikipedia for Maiden. This includes a number of songs that were part of bonus discs and not the official studio album release for a number of their albums. Axl has 49 songwriting credits on Wikipedia for GN'R. Once you take out the bonus disc credits for Dickinson, he drops down below 50 credits. Dickinson has zero credits on Maiden's most famous album Number of the Beast whereas Axl's prints are all over Appetite and UYI (9/12 Appetite and 22/30 UYI).

Axl was born as William Bruce Rose, like his biological father. Axl's mother then remarried to Stephen Bailey and Axl got a new surname. He found out about his real father in his teens and discovered that both he and his mother were named Rose in his early childhood. All this according to the Mick Wall book so don't shoot the messenger if you

ï»żGuns Nâ Roses singer Axl Rose is an undisputed expert at antagonising others. Heâs made countless enemies, caused fights with other bands, and his exploits on one occasion made Iron Maidenâs Bruce Dickinson live to regret not punching him. Rose, of course, is no stranger to a fight backstage after his shenanigans at the MTV Awards in 1992 with Nirvana. Verbally, the pair had been jousting for some time after Kurt Cobain labelled them âsexistâ in the press, a comment which led to the Guns Nâ Roses loudmouthed frontman referring to them as âjunkiesâ during an on-stage rant. Things then got physical at the awards ceremony after Cobain spat on Axlâs keyboard before he closed the show with Elton John, a move that led to Guns Nâ Roses attempting to tip over Nirvanaâs trailer in response. Things could have turned tragic, however, as Rose discovered that Frances Bean Cobain was on board the trailer moments before stopping his revenge. Nirvana were not the first group that Rose had angered. In fact, four years earlier, during a show with Iron Maiden in Quebec City, Guns Nâ Roses were handpicked to support the British rockers, but it all ended disaster. The first issue they ran into was a lack of a soundcheck due to the mass preparation needed for Maidenâs stage show, a situation that already riled up Guns Nâ Roses before theyâd even performed. Later on, Rose began to speak rudely to the crowd and mocked them for speaking French, despite it being the native tongue of Quebec, which infuriated Dickinson. Not only is it an unnecessary and uncourteous move, but it also created a hostile atmosphere for the rest of the evening. Looking back at the show with Le Journal de MontrĂ©al in 2015, Dickinson opened up about this harrowing incident. He said, âI should have come on-stage and given him a punch. How could he dare speak to my audience in that way? I always regretted not having done so.â Thereâs no lost love between the duo, and when Rose briefly replaced Brian Johnson as the singer in AC/DC, Dickinson admitted he feared it could be âhorribleâ. âItâs an odd situation,â he said. âI hope Brian can get some respite for whatever his medical issue is. Heâs a lovely guy. Thereâs just Angus [Young, guitar] in AC/DC now as far as original members. I hope Angus ends up holding up the amazing reputation and the name of AC/DC. âItâd be horrible to see it end with people not turning up on stage or being very late. I hope it works out okay for everyone,â he brutally added in a dig at Rose. Although that night in Quebec was decades ago, itâs evident that Dickinson still has no time for Axl Rose, and heâs not alone with this perspective. Rose is one of rockâs most popularising figures, with his cliched cartoonish antics ruffling feathers wherever he goes and continuing to get his name chalked off more Christmas card lists with each passing year.
