You cannot listen to modern rock radio for more than 10 mintues without hearing someone ripping off some element of Eddie's vocal style. He is by far the most ripped off singer in rock whether he's mediocre or not (and he's certainly better than Axl). GNR really aren't that influential from a sound perspective, it was their dirty, DGAF attitude at a time of partying and hair metal that was the true influence.
