[Berqy123]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHA DUDE THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!! I expected a few sexual innuendos but this was pro :)

[PMichele7]

Amazing!

[maqsimillion]

rofl !!! awesome :) love the axl persona as ever.

[sonia4457]

wow Axl singing christmas carols xDD awesome !

[TasspOriginal]

MAN, Fucking awesome voice, How do you do to sing like this :O ?

[HugoCechetto]

jesus, you got an unbelievable voice man, i've been years trying to sing like this and man, you rock! i never heard anything like this, closer to Axl voice ,i'm speechless ... you got an gift from God!

[PourThatSugarOnMe]

[bajusia19]

Brilliant!

[axl77]

@bajusia19 Thank you :D Fun was had.

[lukatme2]

haha that was awesome

[axl77]

@lukatme2 Hey, im glad to know that you enjoyed it. I love stepping into character as Axl Rose, i have a few more ideas lined up soon.

[kostariddle]

[kostariddle]

omg so cuute :D 

[axl77]

@kostariddle :D

[pawel134679]

You are AWESOME! Plz can You make slash - promise cover? That would be awesome : ) and Merry Christmas

[nolifish]

Wow, you have got some serious talent! Very well done

[axl77]

@nolifish Thank you very much, i love doing impersonations actually, it's a lot of fun. Axl is great to do because he is so distinctive. I think even the worst impersonators can manage to capture something of Axl Rose as he stands out so much.

[SlashGnR54M]

You are great!! Keep up the amazing singing you're the best!! I've never heard anyone who can sing like Axl like you do! You're brilliant bro!!!

[axl77]

@SlashGnR54M Thank you man, good to hear from you. I'll keep trying to keep the standard up. Im thinking of other tunes i can do as Axl now, going to start getting experimental with this stuff.

[travisc347]

I thought this was going to suck but it totaly didn't

[axl77]

@travisc347 Thank you :D I hope people find it and take it with a pinch of salt. It's great that so many people have enjoyed it, i may do more very soon.

[pablomazzo]

you should cover a song with Axl´s new look, with the moustache, shorter hair and a hat. That will be great!

[axl77]

@pablomazzo :) The Axl pimp look.

[Gelvez44]

Very cool...

[gokdrah]

Hello again :D

So..I need not say anything, you're awesome, congratz again..

[axl77]

@gokdrah Thank you very much, i always appreciate every comment that comes my way. It's hard getting any kind of recognition on the internet nowadays, there must be millions of new videos uploaded to the site each day.

[CamiGNR]

is cool!! i love you|!!

[axl77]

@CamiGNR Thank you :D

[ArGames11]

:)

[axl77]

@ArGames11 :D

[leonardoapmoreno]

Hey Gareth, do not worry about the negative comments, you sing a lot, is the best cover of Axl Rose, I am Brazilian and I love Guns N Roses, and you have very well. Thank you for gifting the world with his voice imitating Axl. And may God bless you.

Regards,

Leonardo.

[axl77]

@leonardoapmoreno Thank you Leonardo :D

[Gooeytar2]

@axl77 No offense to your natural voice , but the Axl voice is more energetic , your natural is peaceful so... do which ever one you want :D BUT DO THE ENTIRE VERSION PLEASE! :)

[axl77]

@Gooeytar2 No offence taken :) Of course, everyone has an opinion, it's fun to be able to try different vocal styles and the Axl Rose thing is just that. 

[vanburger2]

Loved it



[axl77]

@vanburger2 Thank you very much :)

[ace77man]

This is the best version I have ever heard brother!, Great JOB

[axl77]

@estheerysumundo Thank you very much, im really happy with how this one is being recieved by people. 2,639 views in just a few days, that's amazing to me :D

[axl77]

Whoa!! This video now has over 1,700 views thanks to you amazing people. The view count here doesn't show that data yet, but i just checked the analytics. That's amazing people, please continue to share and pass this round, you are all doing me such a huge job of support by helping me out in this way.

[MrSnakeSlasher]

You deserve more views and subscribers!

[axl77]

@MrSnakeSlasher I hope that these kinds of video introduce me to more and more people. Im grateful for the followers i have though. Thank you

[Gooeytar2]

@axl77 Me again :)

You have a magical voice :D

You can make everyone feel atleast just a little better ... but you make me feel a million times better :)) .

Happy holidays :D

[axl77]

@Gooeytar2 I can't believe how amazing people have been about this, it's definitely inspired me to do something else similar, maybe not a Christmas tune, but some other Axl persona type video :D

[MrWimmel]

Amazing! I'm really digging your axl voice. You really nailed it in this one :)

[axl77]

@MrWimmel Thank you MrWimmel :D It's good to know you think i capture something of Axl here :D

[Mr3Chords]

amazing! really

spot on

[axl77]

@Mr3Chords Thank you very much, it's good to know you think i captured his essence in some way. I like doing these :D

[MrSnakeSlasher]

Amazing!

Straight to favourites, and my Christmas playlist!

Thanks! You made my day! =)

[axl77]

@MrSnakeSlasher Hey :) I'm glad to be able to help your day along in the right direction. I love your avatar picture, all the GNR guys with santa hats on :)

[fishtifer]

You have to do more Christmas songs as Axl dude!

[axl77]

@fishtifer Frankly, im staggered that people want to hear more of this, i mean that in a good way. It's fun to make these videos, and i guess from a YouTube point of view, they have a certain novelty factor. Thank you for suggesting that :D

[shgaming24]

IUSHAISIUAHIUHSUIAIDHIAIFUHAUH­FUAHDA nice!

[axl77]

@shgaming24 :D I understood the word nice out of all of that.

[funofsk8ing]

@axl77 haha it's just how most of us laugh in brazil, at least in the internet ashuahsuahsuhas xD

[lordsilver14]

As I said, this Axl singing style is the best for you :D.

[axl77]

@lordsilver14 :D I wouldnt want to think i had to sing this way every time i did a gig :/

[sweetcandi55]

R u gonna do some Foreigner?

[axl77]

@sweetcandi55 Ive never really listened to much Foreigner, i can't see why not though.

[eagleflyfree31]

jajajajajaja its great!!!!!!

[axl77]

@eagleflyfree31 Thank you :D This was fun for me to do

[TheJohnny990]

lol kewl

[axl77]

@TheJohnny990 :) Thank you 

[ineskalbermatten]

i love you

[axl77]

@ineskalbermatten :D

[leonardoapmoreno]

Perfect, perfect, congratulations!!!

[axl77]

@leonardoapmoreno Thank you :) Im glad you think i did the great man justice.

[yugijan2196]

I love this man!! Kick ass dude!!!

[axl77]

@yugijan2196 Hey :) Thank you very much, i never expected this to go down as well as it has, got my thinking cap on for the next one now.

[yugijan2196]

@axl77 No problem dude! You're amazing! Killer I can't wait!

[BeneethTheSurface]

Amazing! I've noticed a lot of people saying do more of this or do more of that... So I figure I'd make a suggestion, keep doing whatever it is you plan on doing cause you rock! All your stuff is brilliant and as much as I love rock, I love all music that sounds good to me! You gotta do what makes you happy and know that you have fans that'll support you whatever you decide that might be!

[axl77]

@BeneethTheSurface What a great comment. Some people just tell me what they think i ought to do, but i love what you say. In truth, im so grateful that people enjoy the 'Axl' stuff, that im more than willing to oblige and upload the odd video where im having a bit of fun doing a bit of an Axl caricature, but yes, there's so much else that i enjoy doing and it's always great when i find people out there that enjoy and appreciate both :D

[Gunsnrosez1987]

@axl77, this left me stunned because it was so good, no lie,please do a full version

[axl77]

@Gunsnrosez1987 I think im going to do some more similar things, i ought to start an Axl Rose request poll off, see which song in the world people would like to see me attempt.

[Gunsnrosez1987]

@axl77 that is a great idea

[Gooeytar2]

@axl77 Wow, i really like how you response to your fans , and give them your own opinion of this cover or of what you do . We really feel that you care about your fans , which is really great .

By the way ... i dont think i have to tell you how awesome this is , how in 1 minute you made my day( as you always do ) and how talented you are . Keep up the awesome work :)

Phill.

[axl77]

@Gooeytar2 Hi Phil, people are really important to me, i take not one single comment for granted and really appreciate it when people come on here and tell me they've enjoyed what i do, i welcome everyone with open arms. Thank you very much for your thoughtful message :) Gareth

[BookWithoutTitle]

Great imitation, man, I like it :)

And yeah, happy holidays :)

[axl77]

@BookWithoutTitle Thank you , there's always a lot of fun to be had in character as Axl Rose. It's good to know you like it, i'd hate to not do the great man justice.

[Neic87Bajsi]

Gar, even the word Awesome thinks you're awesome :D loved it man ;)

[axl77]

@Neic87Bajsi Hey man, thank you so much. I love to do Axl Rose style singing, it's so much fun. One day, hopefully i'll get the chance to do this with a tribute band or something.

[grant1133]

Noticed you have been doing alot more contemporary songs lately , not sure if this is just to get more views but i think you should stick to what you are best at

ROCK!

[axl77]

@grant1133 Hi there, like most musicians, id like to think i can try my hand at other styles, it's true though, im most at home doing rock or blues. Thank you :D

[noesalinas1]

=)

[wvanderheiden]

Hahaha awesome! Well done once more Gareth!

[axl77]

@wvanderheiden Thank you :D Im a bit blown away by the love for this.

[wvanderheiden]

@axl77 It's just fun to watch in this cold period. As long as you keep throwing smiles on people's faces why wont you do this? :)

[gocloneyourself]

Yes! More Axl Videos!

[axl77]

@gocloneyourself I'll keep putting more of these up if people like them . They are always fun to do.

[ofekgnr]

@axl77 Then do so Gareth!

We do like 'em!

[axl77]

@ofekgnr I will. Yesterday taught me a huge lesson about the viewing habits of my regular YouTube followers. I don't mean this in any detrimental way, but by and large , people are only interested in me when im doing the GNR stuff. I think im going to go off and start a channel elsewhere that's just devoted to the other side of what i do and keep the two seperate. I LOVE doing the Guns stuff, but i'd like to hope ive got more to offer in other areas.

[ofekgnr]

@axl77 Oh god Gareth! haha, of course we love the Guns stuff, but we also dig your other cover vids! they are great!!! sometimes there are covers of songs I think they are shitty and I hate them but then you make a cover of them and I see what you see in them and what they should be like!

[miketh6]

@axl77 I agree with you. Its better to seperate the two. You have extreme talent, dont be an actor, be a musician. You cant be both, at least for now

[miketh6]

@axl77 and also. great musicians, have their own songs. Otherwise you will be judged depending on the original song (to more people)

[MrWimmel]

@gocloneyourself I agree :D

[9393ja]

haha awesome:D

[axl77]

@9393ja Thank you :D 40 comments already :) Makes me wonder if i should release theAxl Rose Christmas Holiday Album :DD

[sillywillykitty]

I love it!!!!!!!

[axl77]

@sillywillykitty Thank you :D Im glad you enjoyed it, it's all done in the name of fun.

[Rippaan]

Ohh you brought me a big smile there when i entered your page! so damn nice :D

[axl77]

@Rippaan That's great to know :D Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it, i hope more people find it.

[markomars]

Gareth, you're an awesome Axl.

[axl77]

@markomars Thank you very much. It's fun do get into character every now and then.

[KingScottProductions]

Haha very good, merry christmas!

[axl77]

@KingScottProductions Same to you , have a holly jolly one :D

[RedOrb19]

Merry Christmas Gareth

[axl77]

@RedOrb19 Merry Christmas to you too :D

[MattyRds95]

Haha!! absolutely brilliant :)

[axl77]

@MattyRds95 Next up, Little Donkey, no just kidding :) See you next week bru :D

[MattyRds95]

@axl77 haha.. see u soon :)

[purplepassion2428]

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!!!

[axl77]

@purplepassion2428 Thank you, we are all looking forward to Christmas together. No doubt there will be plenty of excess intake of unhealthy foods and alcohol :D

[8axl3]

you've a very beautiful voice...really...listen what program do you use for record?

[axl77]

@8axl3 It's just a simple Boss BR1600 digital recorder. Nothing fancy, i just mic the guitar up, add some keys and lay down my vocals. Its easy to use and a lot of fun. I should be on commission here :D

[Xille96]

nice ;D

[axl77]

@Xille96 :D

[radiationcover]

man i love this! wish i could do that... but come to finland? :DD

[axl77]

@radiationcover I'd love to visit more European places, my brother and i are going to be working hard at our acoustic duo, we have a lot of ambition for it, and both of us really want to travel around a lot. Maybe someday it will happen for us.

[wanhenga]

Gareth "Rose" Rhodes is back! ahahah Awesome, dude! You can make even one of the most simple songs, a classic with your great voice! Looking forward to hear more songs with this style too! ahaha

[axl77]

@wanhenga I really enjoy doing these now and again, they are a lot of fun. I like what you call me, Gareth 'Rose' Rhodes :D Has a nice ring to it.

[zangief]

Nice!

[axl77]

@zangief :D Glad you like

[zangief]

@axl77 'Tis very good mate, I really like the MJ covers you've been doin' also. Have a great Xmas :)

[axl77]

@zangief Great to hear you enjoy the MJ covers too. I ought to do more of those really. I have a version of Thriller worked out which sounds interesting. Have a cool Yule yourself :D

[brennoslash1]

OHH MAN !!! PERFECT GARETH \o/ congratulations guy

[axl77]

@brennoslash1 Thank you :D I enjoyed the simplicity of doing this one.

[Ixchronosx]

hahahahah you are amazing, it makes me agree to your beginning

[axl77]

@Ixchronosx Thank you, this video was fun. Axl Rose is a bit of a legend in the Rhodes household :D

[riff88m]

[axl77]

@riff88m Ha :) This was just a bit of fun. Good that you liked it :D
