  • I'm inlove with gnr. Don't get me wrong. And axl is an amazing singer, but he treated this like it was his own song. Tom petty is also really good and I don't think he got the credit he deserved for this

  • In French we call that "se faire voler la vedette". Awesome

  • axl blows petty off the stage

    when they sing together---axl wipes the floor with petty

  • I still say this song isn't for Axl's voice. Just sayin'.........

  • Axl Voice is Amazing here, and he scream is <3_________<3 just the best :D

  • wow i'd never exepct axl to sing this!

  • Hey, Axl is still wearing clothes at this point in his career, i like it.

  • Old Axel Rose is the best hes just a complete fuck head and lost his rep and fans with a wrong turn but axel is one of my favorite singers of all time but i wish Guns N Roses stayed together & Tom Petty amazing !

  • I m Free , but the Quality is PIRATSTUFF.

    The Beatles Video 4 free is older an better.

    BACK TO THE R.......love U

  • somehow tom is the real show stoper here,dream on axl,play yo fiddle,shut the----up,how in the ---- did you think you did on this tune,superstarsucksville is all i hear,cant carry a --in tune saddude,stick to somethin yo good at,it aint singin,however dude you really suck at it

  • @weaverfever55 You're just another Axl hater that secretly admires Axl and Guns n' Roses. Can't believe you're actually sayin' Axl can't sing. He has an amazing range and Tom Petty invited Axl and Izzy to sing and play on Freefalling. Are you disaggreeing with Tom Petty. Surely Tom wouldn't want someone not capable of holding the notes etc... And if you loath Axl so much, then why are you watching this video. Or were you just searching for Tom Petty. Yeah right! Cheers

  • Damn, MTV used to be so cool...

  • Pettys a legend

  • Axl the best!!!!!!!!*---------*

  • AMAZING! Axl is the Greatest and Petty is not far behind.

  • Two of my favourite musicians on stage ever.. what more could you ask for :) Axl added something to it, a more raspy rhytm to the song in my opinion, it sounded awesome ;D

  • Axl ruined it totally but i am a big guns n roses fan

  • And the lord said...

    "There will be Axl!"

  • @Thumper17  YEAH!!!

  • It was performances like this that made MTV what is was. Now they don't even play music videos they only have these stupid reality shows

  • I LOVE THIS! :-)

  • BETTER AUDIO PLEASE?? !!

  • axl n1

    

  • this song is so much better without axl and his horrible voice and dancing

  • @P3droMS Well, there are plenty of other videos that Axl is NOT in, so why aren't you watching those?

  • @P3droMS then dont watch it.

  • Nice video, keep it up. Watch for new release from BRANDON JAROD late OCT. 2010 AWESOME!

  • Axl totally stole the show here.

  • Dude this was fucking sick as shit it was epic too

  • the 38 people who "disliked" this are morons. This is fucking classic! EPIC!

  • Sorry punisher0113 but Axel ruined it.

  • @littlebit824 - absolute tosh - read what Punisher 0113 said. this was 2 of the greatest ever coming together and making fab music. All it is is 2 different voice types but together make rock music.

  • I'm a huge fan of Tom petty and gnr...fuck all you morons who have the decency to say axl ruined this. If anything, two great singers came together and rocked the night! Look at all those girls dancing! Fuck you old time idiots

  • I've never understood covers or people singing with another band; 99% of them don't work there are a few exceptions; in my mind the most notable one is Brian Johnson taking over after the death of Bon Scott.

  • G&R was a great band but axl is a complete tool....

  • @regelsnet ...a complete tool for making genious music and kick-ass/break-balls/melt-hear­t vocals, that's what he is above all!

  • Yeah, I admit that Axl wasn't the best in this video, but still it was Tom Pettys idea to let him on. He thought that Axl was good enough to sing with him. They are having fun out there and performing for fans of them everywhere.

  • axl used to be so fucking cool he is just a fat old man now shame he never had the decency to die young like all the best rock stars

  • If you took axl out this would have made a good video.

    Tom + Axl = No, no.

    THIS IDEA WAS A BO-BO!!

    I want to kiss Tom Petty's bo-bo!

  • hey axl, mick jagger called he wants his prancing back.

  • my eight year old said, "Oh my Gosh! That must really hurt Tom's ear!" when Axle goes Axle at the end.

  • Look at all the hot ass bitches in mini skirts that get up as soon as Axl starts singing when they pan to the crowd. Oh snap

  • Axl > Petty. Crowd thought so too

  • Oh look, its Axl Rose fucking up another good band!... What?

  • beatiful axl singing this song.............

  • axl es lo mejor que hay

  • Nice of axl not to stop the show or storm off stage... Well done!

  • Was this really from '89? I thought it was later than that. Two of the worst singers, but best lyricists ever.

  • What The Fuck? Best singers and lyricists, if you want, too.

  • i like the way axl sings it... i dont think it necessarily makes it better or worse, but it definitely brightens it up alot... I think Tom is too mellow to sing like that, haha

  • to of my favorite singers

  • wow that was different. Axl really changed the mood and direction of the song.

  • i wonder if he was supposed to sing the rest of the song like he did cause everyone knows he's an one ups man haha i bet tom was like holy shit why didn't i give him this song

  • Tom Petty's just amazing...and im not a big Guns 'n' Roses fan...but axl rose is one hell of a showman

  • @PAULFC93 indeed but he is alsoa douch that sucks :S

  • One word... captivating.

  • I love how Tom pointed at Axl when he said "bad boys" HAHAHA

  • axl rose's voice covered tom petty's

  • axel is one in a million.. this song much better with tom and axel ..:D ok¡?

  • then post vids of your amazing seinging voice...

  • No matter which song you put axl to sing and he will do it awesome...He's just unique and the best!!

  • No matter which song you put axl to sing, he will sing it awesome!!.. He's unique and the best!

  • wow its hard to even notice tom prtty with axl around.

  • This is great.

  • This just make me miss the M in Mtv!!!!

  • Neither of these guys are "Great" singers. but the way they sing fits the style of their music making them unique. which makes them awesome!

  • well put! accurate as well. not the most talented of all time, but still awesome just the way they were.

  • axl unico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • axl=maestro !!!

  • Somehow a perfect match

  • you are stupid fucking dickhead this voice is perfectk true rock n rol

  • axle is a good singer but his voice dont fit in this song, no one wants tom petty voice not to be dominant voice in this song

  • big fan of Axl, but i have 2 agree with u

  • Good duet. Like it.

  • dålig kvalitet men riktigt cool version Tom Petty who wrate it then axl rose .....Just så cool think it was wrate in 1988. då va du bara en liten sötis ...Papppa älskar dig-

  • This wasn't too bad, but Axl needs to lay off the drugs! Really

  • If you know a little about GN'R you would know that Axl hardly ever did drugs

  • If you understood a joke you would get my comment.

  • a quick read of a book would tell you that he wasnt really into drugs!

  • Great duet!

  • TOM = GENIO!!

  • Axl [in this vid] looks like the way he does nowadayz.

  • Hehehe, this was nice!

  • very cool!

  • one of the best duets ever - their voices compliment each other!

  • wtf do u mean he messed up the song?

  • I fuckin' love this one! Great post!

  • MTV had to be good these times...

  • This was before Axl wanted GNR to be a dictatorship.

  • this way better than the john mayer version, love this song and this version

  • This is the original, played by musicians not this gossip news fellow you mentioned ;)

  • axl should have patented that little dance he does.

  • Just watched that Vid but read your comment first... now i cant stop laughing because its true, no one dances like him

  • It would be hard tho

  • And he should have patented some kind of wheel-equipped shoes to do it , too :-)

  • @Katjump I agree in some ways.. But Axl is a stand up guy in a not so stand up world! I feel his dance is a direct NOD to the ole blue singers like Muddy Waters,Chuck Berry, Janis Joplin, and YES ole Jim Morrison aka leather pants n all! They influenced him/his dance & had to work so hard on the circuit bk then? I alwaysfelt the 'Axl Dance' was his nod 2 this & so taking money wd go against his integrity! Mind you just my thoughts. Besides how could he teach his Awesome comment! Katjump hugs!

  • @Katjump I agree it's so cute for a rocker.

  • @Katjump he wouldn't have been able too...it's a complete copy of Davy Jones of the Monkees. As they say in rock n roll, "It's all been done before"

  • @itsonlyrcknroll what is a complete copy?

  • I love Tom Petty and together with Guns Roses is awesome!!! I love them both equal!! But with Tom Pettty I have more experience than Guns n Roses, but dont get me wrong I haVE experiences with both, so YEAH for aGuns N roses and Tom Petty you guys should make an album for 2010!!!

  • that is sooo freakin cool I love TM and

    Gn Roses and together they rock!!!

  • axl sos hermoso...te amo!!! aguante los GUNS!!!

  • both voices, Tom's & Axl's, sound great together. Great performance. Back when Axl could sing this amazing way, I miss it.

  • to all rockers im starting a boycot of the jonas brothers please comment on my channel to join the boycot this is not spam this is real post on other vids to spread the word

  • Niepowtarzalny głos; kocham Cię Axl!!!!

  • nothing will bring the appetite era back ...... even the original line up.. if these guys do reunite then they'll be more like a tribute band of the appetite era.....

    Axl is without no doubt in the top 5 of the greatest Frontmen list ever....

  • awesome what a mix two free unstruggling uniquely placed voices of our century combined into an almost unemaginable duet

    im truely blown away love this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lets just stop all this talk on Axel, Slash, GNR, Velvet Revolver. The Real GNR is gone. Who cares who's fault it was. It really doesn't matter who. The fact is the original GNR is done. Slash has got it going for him right now. He has no intention of ever coming back to GNR. Axel does have a huge ego but then again he's a singer. As for this video, I think it kicked ass back then and still does today. Axel and Tom did a fantastic job and it was a great performance.

  • I wonder if there is a possibility of the original lineup reuniting, minus axl, of course

  • They have probably already tried many times but still get the same answer. As much as we all dream, I don't think original GNR will ever stand on the same stage and perform ever again. It would be a miricale if they did

  • yeah like the biggest reunion in history.

  • dude, my gosh......  it's spelt: AXL!!!!! no axel..... that is blasphemy!!!!

    but yeah, this video is awesome!!! axl in his golden years!!! totally awesome!

  • good old days...

  • Izzy gets pounded by Vince Neil after this

  • and with that said, Velvet revolver (a prime example of what you said... suck)

    Axl rocked this, and has rocked Chinese Democracy all the same

  • And I agree,Velvet Revolver wasn't half the Band G&Rs were. And as history will show, Axls new G&Rs, won't come close either. But if the original band had put their egos aside, and stayed together, they could have easily been one of the best .The original band had the magic....In my opinion, their new ones don't . Thanks for the post.

  • Good to see your still living in the 80s

  • It just shows how cool Tom Petty is to let someone else sing one of his biggest hits at its most popular time!!! The dude is sooo fuckin coool!

  • i love tom petty with guns n' roses! why is the audio so low?

  • someone couldnt afford the state of the art 4 head vcr :)

  • The Ultra Tour Guns'n Roses And Tom petty

  • lol all the girls start screaming when tom petty sings. pimpin!

  • i love watching axl perform with other artists because he always seems to show them who they should be tipping their hats to. not since axl have we seen such an amazing talent. his stage presence, his vocal range, and overall talent gave rock a much-needed kick in the balls in the 80's. thank u, axl, for being a true rock god!

  • I feel sorry for Mr Petty, no one notices him, we all want to hear the best singer ever AXL ROSE, he's the best, and you know what?? He fucking knows it

  • pretty cool song...when rock still rocked...as corny as that comment sounds

  • I have seen both live but only Petty sing this song. This was 88 or 89 Axl kiced Toms ass. Today Petty would make Axl sound like a fool. Pettys voice has not changed much over the years.But hands down to Axl in this one.

  • well said

  • Perfect...the whole performance is just amazing, but my favorite part is between 3:43 and 3:53...wao! indeed

  • AGHHHH OM FUCKING GOD!!!!

    your kidding!! axl rose singing Free falling!!!

    wow thats....i love it!!!!!!

  • axl u rock

  • AXL I LOVE YOU

  • dont usually believ in chain comments, but this one is pretty cool. u dont need to do it, but when u read it, u might smile. :-)

    There are 20 angels in this world

    10 are sleeping

    9 are playing

    1 is reading this

    put this on 4 video comments within 15 mins,if u do, sum one u love will surprise u sum how!! If u don't , u will lose ur love

  • Isn't Axl a big fan of Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne (ELO), Beatles?

    Makes sense they'd sing Free Fallin' together. Axl had to be on cloud nine with a legend like Petty.

  • rock on arruti89 axl rocks man

  • i like this verson its better then that one with john mayer

  • hey peeps your comments aren't going to change how they sang this song. stop being negative-whether it's about Tom or Axl- they are both different musicians thery're going to sound different. Both are good at their style.

  • madagascar is good.,;/,.;.,;

  • 95% of teens would cry if they saw the Jonas Brothers at the top of a skyscraper about to jump. Copy and paste this EVERYWHERE if you are in the 5% that would shout 'Jump assholes

  • woo im a minority!

  • Am I the only one who would be pushing them?

  • Look at pettys face at 3:47 when axl hits his highest notes

  • hehe

  • Haha, how cute! :)

  • hehe yeah axl has some great vocal range

  • I don't know why I bothered posting to this vid. You are obviously a throw back straight from the 80's, still with your torn jeans and cut sleeve T-shirt. Probably live in Aurora IL and eat at Stan Makita's donuts. Seriously, you can still talk crap about someone you'll still listen to on the radio!!

  • Haha, i think its funny that he points at Axl while he sings "bad boy" XD

    Ps, Axl rules!

  • How could anyone Really think he sounds bad? You have to either just hate him as a person, not know music very well, or be a complete moron. He is improvising the chorus, and puts a twist to the song most vocalists arent even good enough to do (tom petty).. If you notice when Axl comes in he immediately takes lead vocals... his voice overpowers pettys so much that tom becomes like a whisper. Petty is a monotoned singer, he doesnt fluctuate axl EVER. Because he isnt a vocalist like Axl..

  • I never said I hated him... just don't care for his "twist" on the chorus...if you can read I stated he was good for the main lyrics. Yeah I can go against what I said about his voice sucks, it doesn't really. But my first impression was like "Whoa.. WTF?" He just makes me laugh, and no, I know music well and in fact don't mind GnR.

  • thats pure talent fuckbag!

  • you fuckin moron you dont know about music.axl's voice doesnt suck just say that you dont like it but it's one of the best voices of rock n roll motherfucker

  • Axl is to much into himself and takes jokes seriously and only if their about him. He gets mad for no reason any leaves at the end of concerts..... He's a ass..... and yes, he does suck!!!

  • I really hate his voice, and like you said, he's way to concided.

  • i think it wouldve been great if they wouldve wrote some songs together.. but shit thats almost crazy talk..

  • You say Jonas Brothers-I say AC/DC

    You say Demi Lovato- i say Ozzy Osbourne

    You say Taylor Swift-I say Led Zeppelin

    You say Kate Perry-I say Rush

    You say Miley Cyrus-I say Guns n Roses

    You say pop-I say ROCK!!!

    92% of kids have turned to pop.If your one of the 8% who like to headbang and disturb the peace copy and paste to 6 videos. If you hit spam your not a real

  • this is awesome

  • Love Tom Axl needs more vocal practice, don't get me wrong love both but love Petty more. Axl has too much in to drugs (in my opinion) Anita

  • Maybe you should teach Axl Rose how to sing.

  • axl kinda butchered the chorus...

  • that's cuz he was "speeeeed-bawlinnnn"

    ya-yeaaa[giga giga]

  • haha, thats actually kinda funny

  • isnt this the one where vince neil got up and punched izzy or sumthin

  • Can you say "butchered" ?

  • axl sounded amazing singing this song also axl is the best front man ever and one of the best singers of all time keep it up axl
