Is it silly to want to sing in the Axle Rose Style

ContraltoLivesMatter

The more I sing I can hear my voice beginning to move from contralto, to alto...weird??
Is it crazy to want to sing in Axle Roses style, or; base my son Nd on his?

Hi Carloine as a huge Guns n roses fan, and having had Axl Rose as my first influence, I wouldnt rely on Axl´s technique, its ok if you like to sing his songs, but i wouldn´t mimic his sound, rasp etc

Can you expand on your thoughts?

well, he uses mask a lot and that´s not a bad thing te problem comes with not using the rest of the instrument, i tried doing the imitation of Axl for many years, and I can do it pretty well, but it damaged my voice, and I love to sing guns n roses songs, but even though I re studied the songs with the technique, they usually bring me back to bad habits, im gonna post you a link that ken made talking about brian johnson and Axl Rose
hope its useful

Thanks! I'm curious on many singers technique. I like female singers too but they lack something in the 80s rock music almost too gentle. But I just like anything good, cool and special to hear.
