Tom, to be honest, I have not listened to alot of Myles Kennedy's material. But I only needed to hear one song to know that Axl can't touch him vocally.

You keep boasting of Axl's 4 octive range. I think you are exaggerating. It's more like a 4 octive screech than it is a range. Here is a short list of singers that have/had a 4-octive range that actually have/had thick, full, soaring voices. They know when to apply power, they know when to pull back, do falsetto, do chest voice, ect..

And none of these people ever sound like they are screeching...

Brad Delp
Freddie Mercury
Geoff Tate
Ann Wilson
Michael Sweet
Freddy Curci
Mike Reno
Steve Perry
Celine Dion
Lou Gramm

With that said though Tom, I respect your passion for what Axl Rose does. Music is different for everybody.
