  • I love the way Axl rips it up you can tell he's singing about LA from the heart having lived there after growing up in Indiana

  • When someone else actually sings your own song so much fuckin' better ,that everyone forgets you're even there!

  • achei da hora,Axl ta dando uma graça pra essa música

  • I ALWAYS CONSIDER AXL AS GOD...HE CAN DOMINATE ANYONE ON THIS EARTH...

  • Its impossible to believe that there's only this terrible recording in the hole world, c'mon guys. There must be a good copy of this performance

  • top 2 comments say the same shit, FML.

  • fockin great , remember this i was 8 and had a babysitter watchin it with me and alli remember is her dancin with her tight ass jordache jeans!

  • @longdeek all i can say is hot hahaha.

  • @longdeek hahaha, lucky!

  • What year was this & where?

  • Imagine being a singer and you invite Axl Rose, at the top of his career... How can one deals with that? Impossible! The stickler is just owning it!

  • @Saulhudson420 even u, ur self said that guns n' roses WERE a good band. a true legend lives on like Tom P. and ya he does write in perfect english, it called texting and maybe you should try it sometime. like get up under that rock that u live under and get some sense of music in that thick skull of urs. free falling alone beats all of axi roses songs. so get a life. and stop being a retard.

  • It's so sad that you can't find these things on MTV anymore

  • @nikoletamarlais MT What?

  • axl rose shows his dumn ass hillbilly roots right here, he showed tom up !, tryin to show gnr was much better. tommy petty is an american hero in his writing. axl is trailer trash with a high octave voice. even the jew /slash/ kicked him to the curb. axl is a faggott that starts fights as long as he has a few hick guards with em..

  • @tommieparch Axl Rose is trailer trash? Dude, you don't even know how to write in english. SHUT UR MOUTH HILLBILLY BITCH, AXL ROSE OWNED THIS PERFORMANCE! Tom Petty is a mediocre musician. No one even hears about him today. He's good, but Axl is on a whole different level.

  • @saulhudson420 tom petty is a legend! axl is known for a few songs,. why do use the name of slash! he hates axl , no hillbillys here in chicago...

  • @tommieparch No, it's the other way around, dude. Tom Petty is known for 1 or 2 songs, Axl Rose was the lead singer of the greatest hard rock band of all time. Welcome to the Jungle, Estranged, November Rain, Paradise City, Sweet Child O' Mine, You Could be Mine.. All master pieces and well known songs. What does Tom Petty play that people know? Free Falling and Mary Jane's last dance. Which are both mediocre. Guns n' Roses where badass, diverse and had way more passion than Tom Petty ever did.

  • @saulhudson420 tom petty had over ten top ten hits, check it out. .tommy

  • @tommieparch Hell Yeah brother, Tom Petty is awesome, and almost everyone knows his music, just depends what people listen to, Classic Rock= Tom Petty, Hard Rock= GnR, either way Tom Petty is a legend

  • @anschutz2210 hey whats up ! tom petty fan,, tommy

  • @tommieparch  Umm Slash isnt Jewish...

  • @slamme79 Slash is half black, half jewish ;)

  • @MrBrownGNR No he isnrt Jewish at least not according to his wife. Everyone including myself before I heard her say it thought he is Jewish but he is not. I know Saul does sound very Jewish but he isnt, unless the wife is lying.

  • axl really fits in this song its almost like he wrote it and it's his song

  • I want the 80's to return!!!

  • lol petty looking at axl thinking wtf

  • @WierdFish101 glad somebody else noticed haha

  • Good video

  • Fuck Lady GOOGOOGAGA I WANT THE 90's back

  • i want my 90's back

  • Their voices go really well together.

  • Wow. Took Axl a little bit to get into it, but he really took off once he did.

  • Tom Petty is so hot<3

  • I didnt know Justin Bieber had 12 youtube accounts

  • I like Tom Petty. I like Axl. I really love this song. But Axl owned the stage in this performance. But usually anyone next to Axl on stage looks insignificant.

  • ITS ROSE TRYING THE MOONWALK? LOL

  • Missing the point people......Of course Axle owns the song ....... and Tom Knew that he would ,,,,given the fact that the Gunners were massive at that point in time ....I just think that Tom stepped aside to some degree and let him have it........I say this as a massive fan of both artists.......

  • @hodgy7461 Agreed man.

  • axl sounds good on this until he starts trying to scream

  • axl simply ownes the whole song:)

  • Tom Petty and Axl OWNES john mayer!

  • Axl's dancing is freaky and not in a good way

  • john mayer is so much better at this than the both of these guys ps axl rose is a cock

  • Comment removed

  • @TheJohnGalt1945 hahahahahahahaah john mayer is so much better at this song than axl and he is alos more musically talented axl is just a screaming little bitch

  • @Scott9740 The way you described Axl sounds remarkcably like your mom when I was fucking her last night.

  • @Scott9740 The way you just described Axl sound remarkably like you mom when I was fucking her last night.

  • @TheJohnGalt1945 the fact u even post comments like that especially at your age shows how much of a pathetic little virgin you are oh dear buddy....

  • @Scott9740 Sticking your dick in John Mayer's ass hardly qualifies you as a non-virgin. Get a life and learn to appreciate real mucsic.

  • @Scott9740

    obviously your trolling but ill bite on this one.Dude,the fact that you say john mayer is better then axl and tom at this song is completely false.Tom petty wrote the song and sings it dam better then axl and john,axl sings it better then john then jihn is in 3rd.so actually have good taste in music or stop spreading shit.Thats all i will say about that

  • @nwountouchable john mayers LIVE version has like 8 million views or that this has 125,268 views john mayers version is amazing tom pettys is good and axls is a fucking joke

  • i have no words for this.

  • Could you turn up the hissing noise, it adds to the ambiance.

  • Could you turn up the hissing noise, it adds to the ambiance.

  • Axl's voice is like Robert Pant's. Pure motherfucking screeching gold.

  • It's funny when they are singing into the same mic and Axyl is screaming chorus in TP face.

  • @debi5058 lol Tom's like "okay, i'll just let you sing then"

  • lol Axl Rose sounds like a tortured monkey singing this song :D

  • Wow, Tom seems really happy and I am wondering if Axl wore jeans and boots just for Tom, as opposed to Axl being mostly naked in shorts. Two of my favorites on the same stage. I think Axl is being a real gentleman in the song.

  • I played this for my friend who thinks Axl is weird and the rest of GNR(pre-judgements) and he loved it and thinks Axl sang better than Tom.

  • i actually love this version better then the original, anyone know where i could Download this song?

  • Axl gave the song some balls!

  • Tom Petty is a class act. Axl looks like the low life weirdo that he is.

  • What the fuck? I thought this might be an alright version until Axl started screaming at 1:03 and ruins the song. It sounded fine when he sang normally.

    I know that this comment will get spammed and thumbs down but you can't really think that his screaming sounds good. This song isn't meant to sound like that, it's meant to actually sound GOOD. Axl completely ruined it, and Tom Petty knew it. Notice how at 1:38 Tom points at Axl when he says "bad", case closed.

  • @OnlyTheKnife He pointed at him when he said 'bad boy,' you idiot. Tom Petty has no room to judge Axl, anyway. Axl is one of the greatest singers and lyricists in rock music, while Tom has made some pretty good tunes.

  • @stickinetic I'll give you that Axl writes good lyrics and has a UNIQUE voice but his screaming voice does not blend well with the song. He belongs more with the music that he made.

  • @gunner1089 It's true that Axl's voice is more suited to the music he writes, but he does an excellent job in this video.

  • @stickinetic I think it is just that true Petty fans (OnlyTheKnife) might dislike this version of the song because it is so different. At the same time, people who like Axl will see this as an improvement over the original. I am somewhere in between but this version just doesn't do it for me.

  • say what you want about axl, but goddamn does the man have a stage presence.

  • loves it .

  • This Is the best thing since sliced bread

  • thumbs up if you think Axl owned this song at 3:44

  • @amacfantaasy Axl has a much more distinctive voice

  • Comment removed

  • Nobody can sing over or keep up w/ Axl on a mic...def not Petty, not Steve Tyler, not even Shannon Hoon (Don't Cry vid, although that was an awesome rock pairing!)One of the most powerful and authentic rock voices in music history

  • GnR sould've cover this! i think Axl sings it better then Tom.....thats just my opinion please don't send be bullshit replies. peace!

  • Come on guys, this is just plain FUNNY!!! Tom Petty and Mike Campbell are cracking up because Axl just starts screaming the chorus.. Hysterical.. : D

  • is so bad!!!! axl rose my god! u:u

  • Comment removed

  • Both Tom's and Axl's voice do harmonize together!!

  • Poor Tom Petty is just trying to keep up with Axl. Looks like Tom keeps trying to sing louder, but to no avail. You can't keep up with Axl, you can just hope he doesn't leave in the middle of the song.

  • I first heard this live in 1989 and went out and bought the CD the next day. I was really dissapointed that Axl wasn't on the CD. Of course that was Okinawa Japan (USMC Retired) and now 20 years later I can hear the song on youtube the way it sounds right!!!

  • Axl Rose totally dominating Tom Petty lol even Petty notices it lol 3:45

  • So good

  • Fuckin' Awesome performance, Axl. You the man.

  • best axl perform

  • Axl is the KING!

  • this is sooo fucking amazing.

  • TOM PETTY !!!!!!!!! <3

  • AXL IS GOD

  • Zdravkocar..who ever you are..why do you want me to leave a commant on this group, after you made the statement....hope you F _ _ _ EN DIE, and for all to suck your _ _ _ _..Well, its like this...apparently...your IQ IS 12 ...Have a good day.And may a short polevalter run between your legs at 185 mph.rolmao

  • What a pussy the drummer is. Im not one of those guys who thinks you have to hit hard to be a good drummer but come on, the guy has no chops, barely touches the drums and hence has no good feel to his rythem or beat.

  • @foskco87 O_O!!!! HEEHAHAH!!!! I really laughed when I read this. It is the exact opposite of him. !!! Go find, Here Comes My Girl, but Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and watch that. He is an amazing drummer, No other drummer sounds quite as great for toms band. Not even Dave Ghrol was badass enough!!!!!

  • all the bad boys lol

  • axl actually sounds slightly better than petty. dont get me wrong i love tom petty. but axl is the most versitile singer in rock music history. if you dont no what that means, its basically he has sooo many different types of pitches (low/mid/high) in his voice, and sounds...amazing!! theres a reason why appetite for destruction hit number 1/200 in 1987. also, "welcome to the jungle" is literally no.1 in HARD ROCK history!!! tom petty did amazing things to, but like i said ever1 has opinions:)

  • Amazing! Golden age of music!

  • a pesar de que ambos son grandes, Axl con su registro lo deja corto a Tom Petty. Casi no se le escucha en el coro. Grandes ambos!

  • Today is the first time I've seen this since it's original broadcast on MTV, it gave me chills, just like the first time I saw it.

  • its like Tom Petty is giving room to Axl to play his game...:) and at 2:37 it reaches the conclusion...its pure music....wow

  • uuhh...Axl's voice wasn't the greatest in this video...well onley on the suspended notes. Other than that he was still the god of rock.

  • Axl=Rockstar

    Tom Petty=Rockgod

  • @tompetty1976 Well your kinda right. But it's more like this:

    Axl=Rockgod

    Tom Petty=Rockjesus

  • @dude33ism Nope silly.

    Tom Petty is rock god

    Axl Rose is just a overrated rockstar. Tom Petty desreves better Axl=rockstar drugs alcahol sex

    Tom Petty=music, influence, pot, peace, love, rocknroll.

  • you know they actually harmonize really well together

  • Fucking AWESOME!!!

  • Seems AXL just beat Tom at his own game, pwned.

  • tom petty just got upstaged during his own song. axl rose wins.

  • AXL was one of a kind, the best frontman of all time. He completely stole the show this night, he had so much talent and charisma it was scary.

  • Epic.

  • Does axl need to shit or something?

    He did a really good job. It was amazing.

  • Ya gotta love the lyrics to this song, and the way that Axl and Tom both sing in harmony is insane. The only thing that could make this better is Slash. But that probably would have been so awesome it would have blown up every television set that this played on and made every speaker that played this explode from epicness. Still, this is great.

  • true rockstarts!

  • @buzzpopatop Axl=Rockstar

    Tom Petty=Rockgod

    although neither are rockstarts. XD ;-)

  • it's pretty weird to look back on this in retrospect and think during this time that a band in Seattle called Nirvana was just forming.

  • The song and Tom is pretty lame but when Axl comes in, he does like he use to and turns the song into four and a half epic minuites =)

  • Tout simplement, Axl vole la vedette sur cette composition originale de Petty.

  • Izzy's back there too, awesome! yeah, yeah!

  • i was so sick of this song until i heard this version. love it!!!!!

  • Amazing!! ^^

  • all they need is slash.

  • Do do do do doooo.... All they need is Slash, Slash.... all the need is Slash....

  • Tom and Axl had a fight before the show, and Axl decided to drown Tom out.

  • best version

  • AXL RULZ!!!

  • can some1 please tell me the chords??? ik capo on 1st fret, but the tut on ultimate-guitar says DG GDA, but that is not what he is playing

  • @Proflutzn Try capo 3rd fret.

  • Simply one of the best there was,is and ever will be for sure.This song is great when Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers sing it,but in this one,Axl Came in and definitely enhamced its greatness.

  • sounds horrible when tom and axl both sing together because its rough and soft in a soft song

  • Don't make em like that anymore

  • AXL DANCE IS LEGENDARY!! HAHAHA

  • How fuckin legendary is that dancing, brb im gonna practise it.

  • @JaridXBL - lol i read somewhere axl dances like that cos he had weak ankles !! its cool though ,love it !

  • what year is this? great vid bro

  • 1989.

  • sorry, i can't agree...

    both frontmen are legendary, but axl's voice simply doesn't fit (especially in chorus)

  • tom petty is go dand =guns and axel are jesus

  • no disrespect meant, but i've just never been into Tom Petty. Axl makes this song so much better.

  • the song sounds better with axl rose

  • axel's voice is not what it used to be. its neat to hear him sing normally

  • This goes out to all the punks that wanna try and start shit about Mr. Rose - use your f**king earholes and appreciate that when things come once, they never come again.

  • Too funny, Wasted Po!! You rock. Needless to say, so does Axl.

  • There was a period there in the late 80's early 90's when the members of G n' R formed the most awesome group of human beings ever to exist in the history of modern civilization. That time and that reality was brief, like a fleeting spark, but it happened.

  • @WastedPo Yep. They ruled the world for a short period of time. Anything and everything was GnR from 1988 to to 1991. I know cuz I was there. GnR was on top of the world and it was a great time for music. This show being one of them. Shame it all came to a short end with the demise of the band. too much success built to quickly all came crashing down. What a shame. I miss these days. Best rock band for 3 years straight they could not be beat.

  • @WastedPo totally agree with you

  • @WastedPo Could not have said it better ! amen to that brother

  • 3:46 Tom´s face = WTF !!!!

  • COOL!!!!!!!! Aaxl is a great singer, no doubt about it... this song sounds awesome

  • @rocketqueen03

    I think its better to say Axl WAS a great singer... now is only the shadow of himself and what he was in GNR

  • @rocketqueen03 Yeah! I Agree!

  • Axl is the best

  • one great song....two great performers......nuthin more 2 say

  • all all all

  • Back when MTV actually played music.

  • no way, I mean, I'm fan of both but Axl really stole this song from Tom

  • A golden age for music.

  • This is insane. Feel a little bad for Tom Petty who's actually managed to make a good song. And here comes Axl and completely rocks shit out of it.

  • good job axl

    a great musician with an enormous talent, too bad he's nuts but i guess you can't have all

  • Go Axl!

  • Lo mejor de esa can´ción es sin duda la hermosa voz de AXL ROSE

  • axl el mejor!!!!

    aun es el mejor y siempre lo sera!

  • lern erstmal englisch bevor du hier so klugscheißer kommentare ablässt!!!

  • @Zdravkocar  I love both Axl and Slash. GnR rules! But how is this comment voted up so many times. Nice way to talk. Grow up man.
