Thank you Kurt, that's all i was trying to do. The closer i can get to his actual voice the better, but in the end it's all about capturing the essence...and enjoying myself :)
I grew up on G n' R! I was 10-11 years old when I got hold of "Appetite" (around 1990-1991.) and since then - hit me with ANY song from the G n' R arsenal, I'll be rollin' with it !!! Dude, EXCELLENT singing + playing! Hands down, one of the best Axl impersonation I heard in a while!! Keep rocking with your Gn'R tribute band!!! Greets from Serbia and don't forget to...... ROCK ON! \m/ \w/
Oh shit, I was playing this in the background without looking, thinking this was an old recording of Axl from the day! You sure got me there bro! Great work!!
Bro, you're awesome, but one request. Can you get your whole guitar in the shot? It'll give everyone a bit more appreciation of what you are doing... And I'll be able to take notes. Great cover!
Absolutely deadly man, not even the axl rose voice, just the true passion of playin and singin gnr songs and any song for that matter, keep up the great work pal
Dude , you're pretty awesome , i just think that you have to do this kind of cover more times , like dead horse , yesterdays and others , will be good , but you're good
+Gareth Rhodes Yep will be fine 'cause you can hit the high notes , i don't know if will be as smooth as axl but the end of this song you really beat it , so maybe you can do this high notes , but something that can be nice to see is Radioactive of Imagine Draogns in this voice will be unbeatable
This is one of the first G'N'R covers I've seen that I didn't click away in a couple of seconds cause my ears started to bleed. You have an amazing voice, keep it rockin' with these great covers! *subscribes*
Jesus, I thought you were actually Axl for a second omg. And your voice!!!!! !??? How do you sound and look like him, my mind is blown so hard right now. Golly, I think I'm in love 😂😍
Thank you very much, yes- it's not a dead on impersonation, but i hope i somehow captured the essence of his voice. That's the main thing really. I agree with what you say though.
Actually, i haven't listened to the Slash album as yet. I like his guitar style but so far none of the Velvet Revolver or Slash guitar projects have really inspired me. I'll have a listen on your recommendation though :)
ur a fukin tard its axel's fukin song and only he does it like it should be done, I mean this dude is kick ass but theres only one AXEL ROSE and this song was hes shit
chris rose well being an actual singer myself I know how it works in the studio. Guaranteed the album versions are many cuts from separate takes. This guy does it live,one take. Watch some gnr live and tell me axl is that proficient
I agree with MR 100% i am getting goose bumps listening to you...no shit you are awesome!! omg ive got this lap top turned up full blast and im loving it!!!
Bro, it's like you showed up at some coffee shop and got a triple espresso of GnR and owned the whole place. Best acoustic cover I ever heard of this song.
DUDE, I am at a loss for words. u are AWESOME, that's all i can say, I'm am obsessed with and dedicated to Rock N' Roll, mainly Guns N' Roses, and it does my heart good to see someone else who likes to express their dedication by doing covers as great as this!!!
One of the best covers I've heard... your pitch is spot on.. you're are to axl's vocals what kobiba is to slash's guitar... not to mention your guitar is friggin great also...
I don't understand how people could not like this, unless they don't like GnR.. but if they don't like GnR then why are they watching this video anyway.. still, in my opinion, the best cover on youtube.. the range you have is sick
Guns n' Roses fan since the 80's. Seriously.....best cover ever!!!!!!!!! Thank you
If GnR posted this around 1988, i'd think this really was Axl
If you knew Axl, you'd know he doesn't know how to play guitar
milinka15 If you knew Guns N' Roses, you would know that he knows how to play the guitar...
milinka15 Watch the video of Dead Horse dude
Michael van Dooren Yea, but this one's much more challenging than Dead Horse
I understood you man, it can easily be a track for EP Lies hahah
Lots of love for Brazil in my heart. You people are awesome.
This is lost rehearsal footage of axl in 1988
you must watch this cover too if you like rocket queen song
th-cam.com/video/SxiVg3pcde4/w-d-xo.html
Can't be true, he's never rehearsed in his life.
absolutely perfect, beautiful voice
Thank you Kurt, that's all i was trying to do. The closer i can get to his actual voice the better, but in the end it's all about capturing the essence...and enjoying myself :)
You have completely mastered the voice. One minor suggestion, don't crowd the mic too much because it's distorting you're perfect sound.
Thank you very much! It's my pleasure to share these videos with all you great people. I'm blessed to have such great comments and reaction.
Discovered this gem last year, must have watched 1000s of times. Pure brilliance.
Crazy the way you've sounded, awesome ...
one of the best covers I've ever seen ... I love this song, and this cover in particular is very nostalgic for me ...
I grew up on G n' R! I was 10-11 years old when I got hold of "Appetite" (around 1990-1991.) and since then - hit me with ANY song from the G n' R arsenal, I'll be rollin' with it !!!
Dude, EXCELLENT singing + playing! Hands down, one of the best Axl impersonation I heard in a while!!
Keep rocking with your Gn'R tribute band!!!
Greets from Serbia and don't forget to...... ROCK ON! \m/ \w/
One of my all time favorite GNR songs, along with Estranged. You did this so good, Dude. Cheers!
This is one of my favorite songs ever and you did it justice. Keep up the good work!
One of the best covers ive ever heard! A true musician
Still the best cover out there
My favourite GN'R song, suprised how well it works acoustically! Great job!
Oh shit, I was playing this in the background without looking, thinking this was an old recording of Axl from the day! You sure got me there bro! Great work!!
Haha!!! That made me smile. Thanks for that. I had fun doing these a good few years back.
Wow..so Amazing!!!!
Your voice...so breathtaking!!!!!! *-*
He killed the ending

WHAT THE FUUUCK? U ROCK MAN!
in my eyes this is the best song that you have done. Cant stop pressing replay.
Bro, you're awesome, but one request. Can you get your whole guitar in the shot? It'll give everyone a bit more appreciation of what you are doing... And I'll be able to take notes. Great cover!
Absolutely deadly man, not even the axl rose voice, just the true passion of playin and singin gnr songs and any song for that matter, keep up the great work pal
Dude , you're pretty awesome , i just think that you have to do this kind of cover more times , like dead horse , yesterdays and others , will be good , but you're good
+Rodrigo Victor Yeah man, I'd like to have a shot at Dead Horse. That tune rocks!
+Gareth Rhodes Yep will be fine 'cause you can hit the high notes , i don't know if will be as smooth as axl but the end of this song you really beat it , so maybe you can do this high notes , but something that can be nice to see is Radioactive of Imagine Draogns in this voice will be unbeatable
where you'r gone gareth?
Wow he hits those high notes great!
This is one of the first G'N'R covers I've seen that I didn't click away in a couple of seconds cause my ears started to bleed. You have an amazing voice, keep it rockin' with these great covers! *subscribes*
It would be great to here these gnr covers sung with a band :)
Not many people on this Earth can do that last bit like that. Beyond words.......
Jesus, I thought you were actually Axl for a second omg. And your voice!!!!! !??? How do you sound and look like him, my mind is blown so hard right now. Golly, I think I'm in love 😂😍
Jenny May me too
Very good!!
Muito Bom!!! O melhor cover do Axl Rose que já vi, aquele seu video acústico
Mr brownstone é o melhor pra mim. Abraços continue fazendo esses videos
Your axl-ish sounding is amazing!
Im gunna go ahead and put this on my phone.... This song means so much to me :D
+Trevor Phillips It'd be awesome for me if I heard this as a ringtone on the train one day.
I got the song, i love it man, keep up the work :D
+Gareth Rhodes tendrias q volver a hacer covers de axl eres bueno :DD
+Gareth Rhodes I also got one of your covers on my phone haha Estranged. Just fantastic. But you won't noticed on a train cause I'm from Brazil haha
Subbed! Deadly voice and style. Inspiration for my covers
This cover is amazing, great job Gareth ! Also loved the ending 4:05, really sounded like Axl :)
I'm a big french AXL fan since since 1990 an I think you are really efficient and respecfull of his work !!
Thanks for your incredible talent !!
I cant believe it took me 9 years to find this!!
his channel is an absolute gemstone, I can't accept the fact he stopped recording
Beautiful, Beautiful Beautiful. . . You got true talent. I love to hear you anytime
Thank you very much, yes- it's not a dead on impersonation, but i hope i somehow captured the essence of his voice. That's the main thing really. I agree with what you say though.
Brilliant I keep listening to this
Actually, i haven't listened to the Slash album as yet. I like his guitar style but so far none of the Velvet Revolver or Slash guitar projects have really inspired me. I'll have a listen on your recommendation though :)
Oh man… I don’t know what to say about this. You are amazing.
do you have tabs? please!?
feel the jam pls its ez, just pick up an acoustic and try to play it along :D
Nice acoustic version!thumbs up from Philippines!
you save the world from boyband madness, Halo from Indonesia
if you from indonesia you must watch your people cover of this song, its great
th-cam.com/video/SxiVg3pcde4/w-d-xo.html
I´m surprised, specially with that final part. Simply perfect!
I think you should sing louder, is a great performance though. Accoustic version of Rocket Queen, was amazing! 75 people are a bit obscene....
dicaridi ya no shit if the vocals were turned down a little it would be a 10 out of 10
hahahah 75 people are a bit obscene....great comment!
Ficou absolutamente igual ao Axl, tanto na música como na caracterização. Melhor cover que eu já vi.
Would much rather see you than Axl at the reunion!
fuck you
Gotta love Gareth,Amazing .Love the relaxed but heartical vibe he has,
Can you PLEASE share the tabs for this ?
No
Beautiful Falsetto!!!! You're awesome!!!
You are better at Axl Rose than Axl Rose! 😂
Ben Ritchie no way, axl is the best at himself..
many people tried hard to imitate him, but axl never do that 😁😁
This cover is really freaking good, but please don't compare it with Axl; you don't know Axl if you think he's better than Axl.
Absolutely impressive. Speechless
Axl couldn't sing it this well
ur a fukin tard its axel's fukin song and only he does it like it should be done, I mean this dude is kick ass but theres only one AXEL ROSE and this song was hes shit
I dunno man,I've watched plenty of live versions of Axl and while he's a great frontman this guy has a better voice
dude really?? r u a fan of GNRse fan cause axel is a rock god a true one of a kind.
chris rose For Gods sake, its AXL not AXEL. You call yourself a fan? you dont even know how to write his fuckin' name...
chris rose well being an actual singer myself I know how it works in the studio. Guaranteed the album versions are many cuts from separate takes. This guy does it live,one take. Watch some gnr live and tell me axl is that proficient
I'm crusing YT for covers of this tune & this is the best vocal version yet. You do well at those unique elements of Axl's voice
Not bad. Nasally though....
axl voice is nasal to be able to sing that high, you have to control the airflow in the nose as you go higher, it's completely normal..
great version., very interesting guitar playing
OMG I'm a Guns N' Roses fan and I say that is AWESOME what you did! Congratulations
I like the final "was for you to know that i care" this tone is awesome i like it
well done, great voice and great guitar playing....
simply beautiful !!!
I agree with MR 100% i am getting goose bumps listening to you...no shit you are awesome!! omg ive got this lap top turned up full blast and im loving it!!!
Bro, it's like you showed up at some coffee shop and got a triple espresso of GnR and owned the whole place. Best acoustic cover I ever heard of this song.
I love this song and I love this fuckin' cover and this fuckin' way to sing just like mr. Rose!!!
OMG! That was just awesome...You sound more like Axl then him these days. You're just awesome. Keep doing! My whole respect...
You got a freakin nice pipe Gareth!! Very nice version of this song!! Rock On....
These Axl impersonations are both hilarious and awesome at the same time!
Wow. Absolutely amazing. Axl is back!!
wow best axl rose vocal cover ever u sound just like him
Dude. OUTSTANDING.
DUDE, I am at a loss for words.
u are AWESOME, that's all i can say, I'm am obsessed with and dedicated to Rock N' Roll, mainly Guns N' Roses, and it does my heart good to see someone else who likes to express their dedication by doing covers as great as this!!!
No one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain ♪ ... Nobody made me sing before, just Axl. You're Awesome!
As good as your voice is, I think your playing is where you shine. Man you kill it!
One of the best covers I've heard... your pitch is spot on.. you're are to axl's vocals what kobiba is to slash's guitar... not to mention your guitar is friggin great also...
dude.... amazing cover! Axl cant even sing like this anymore! you rock!!
Damn... I'm in love with your voice...
I'm from Brazil, I love your videos, please, write more "Rocket Queen"!
that was awesome.and your voice at the very end ha ha!
Well done Gareth! Flawless!! Richie Fontaine (G2R)
You are one of the best songers i heard ever. Seriously!!
Breathtaking!!!
Oh my God! Simply next level!!!!
Wow amazing
Wow! great cover and great voice!
Your videos are great. Awesome Axl singing and guitar work is good too. Glad I stumbled here.
Dude... If you and your band made an album, i would buy it in a heartbeat... Seriously, you've got truck loads of talent, don't waste it!!!
Holy shit!! I'd love to have this arrangement
I've just download it and put it on my cell phone as a ring tone.
That's how much I love this song and especially this version! ;)
Thanx Gareth!
This was fantastic, well played mate
simplemente impresionante, no sólo tu voz sino el sonido de la guitarra, es arte. Saludos desde Perú. ;)
sounds awesome, great song choice
Sick, absolutely fabulous!!
I don't understand how people could not like this, unless they don't like GnR.. but if they don't like GnR then why are they watching this video anyway.. still, in my opinion, the best cover on youtube.. the range you have is sick
You're in a tribute band now? F-ning awesome. I wish I was close enough to see you live.
Awesome! You remind me of Axl during his prime. I'd love to watch you live performing G n' R numbers.
Truly amazing man👍👍 only andbest acoustic for acoustic out there
Sounds just like him crazy bro well done
