A couple of Manowar classics.
Eric Adams was a trained opera singer.
Check 'em both out.

I also loves me some Tomahawk...

It seems Axl Rose can't sing anymore

This saddens me, but secretly it makes me happy because while I had my GnR phase and still think Appetite for destruction is a damn good rock album Axl Rose is one of the biggest cunts in the music industry, by far. He's the kind of person I'd get in a fight with after meeting.
An interesting question (bit off topic) - When does a band stop being the same band? I mean, on paper GnR are still GnR but would you mentally think "I have seen The GnR live" if you went to a show? Or would you say you watched the "modern" GnR? How many members have to leave? IMO, GnR performing in the rock and roll hall of fame without Axl Rose were more GnR than Axl's band.

I don't care for GnR at all except that I have some fond memories of my youth that go with some of their stuff...

I think some of the best songs are actually less popular ones, but I don't think they deserve the credit they get - Arguably the entire band was reasonably talented, not just Axl Rose. But seriously, a guy who tells Kurt Cobain to shut his bitch up doesn't deserve my respect, as much as I don't listen to Nirvana anymore.
