Re: GIGWISE Lists Axl Rose as #42 on top 69 Front Men and Women
42. Axl Rose of Guns n Roses - As he stalks the stage waiting for the drumbeat to come in Axl Rose is fairly unassuming. When that beat comes in, and the multiple riffs start up however, something changes and Rose suddenly becomes one of the most appealing and distinctive musicians in history. He's unforgettable to look at and undeniably talented as a lead vocalist. (wenn)

I think most people easily place Axl in the top ten front men of all time.
I would but I think what hinders a list like this could be the temper tantrums on stage, making crowds wait, walking out of shows and causing riots.

Axl is hardly the only one who has done that in music history - but I do see your point.
I still believe that he's underestimated, though.

Have you seen alot of video's from past concerts? He has stopped songs to yell at people in the audience, beit diserved or not, 3 riots and most people feel he makes the audience wait too long.
I am not saying I have a problem with it, I am just saying he has most certainly done these things and it could hinder his place in numbers for a best frontman type thing.

At which concerts did he yell at the audience recently? I think it happened once or twice in Brisbane last year because someone threw a bottle/cup of beer on him.
Either way, I agree with you, and that's why I said that I see your point - even though it might not have been clear enough.
I'm sorry about that.

He did it a lot in 06 and 07, stopping songs to have someone kicked out or in some cases security 
They're not all on youtube but route through the 06/07 tour archives and read peoples reviews there's a lot of shows he stopped a song halfway through for whatever reason.
