Axl Rose Named Greatest Frontman Of All Time

December 30, 2010
Axl Rose Named Greatest Frontman Of All TimeAxl Rose has been named the greatest lead singer of all time by music fans.

The Guns n Roses frontman, whose hits include 'November Rain' and 'Welcome To The Jungle', topped a recent poll by Musicradar.com readers.

Axl Rose beat Queen singer Freddie Mercury who came second and Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant took third place.

"Think back to the late 1980s. Axl Rose: dangerous, lean, angry, confrontational, controversial," the website said.

Meanwhile, Guns N’ Roses star Axl Rose has filed a lawsuit against the makers of Guitar Hero over the appearance in the video game of former bandmate Slash.
