But Shadows doesn't sound like Axl or even write like Axl.

You can clearly see some influences from Axl in both the way he writes and the way he sounds.  Sure, he's not trying to copy Axl, but you really can't tell me this guy has not been influenced by him at all.

Excellent point. I don't think I could name one person who has named Axl as an influence. Hell, even his peers weren't influenced by him.

M. Shadows.  Huge Axl influence there.  If you watch any A7X shows, you are bound to find him, or another of the band, wearing a GNR shirt.  He's listed Axl as an influence before. 

People need to realize, greatness doesn't happen overnight.  It takes a while for people to get the respect they deserve, and it doesn't help when the world is still waiting on Axl to show his worth again.  I think in the years to come you will see more singers influenced by Axl hit the market.  It has only been 20 years since GNR started to make it. 

Cobain is an exception, because he was more of a fad.  GNR luckily weren't nearly like Nirvana were.

I think they are great.  The last one is very country.

I think that in all honesty, Axl can stand up against people like Cobain and Cornell.  Kurt Cobain was not the genius a lot of people make him out to be. 

I look around at all these new bands coming out, or all the kids at high school, and there are far more people wearing GNR shirts or citing GNR as an influence than they are any of the grunge bands.  That's from what i've seen so far, but that may be different down in more active places, i don't know.

Axl will be remembered in years to come, that's for sure.  He has everything it takes to be remembered, the writing talent, the musical, his composing ability, and of course, all his controversy. 

AFD has already gone down in the pages of history as one of the greatest (if not the greastest, depending on your source), rock album ever made.  Axl won't be forgotten for that reason.  And it's for that reason that he deserves his place alongside all the greats, Plant, Morrisson, Lennon etc.
