I have never heard Axl Rose speak so eloquently. How beautiful.
Axl has always been eloquent :)
He has always had the gift of gab.
nou he wʀote some gʀeat thought thʀough lyʀics
He had to, it's a serious gathering for a deceased person.
I've been pretty critical of the guy for a long time but that was really a beautiful from the heart speech!
Axl rose, that was an amazing speech. I respect you for doing this for Lisa marie and to the family.
Axl Rose performed at Freddie Mercury's Memorial in 1992. Freddie had loved Elvis so much that he wrote "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in 1979 as a tribute to Elvis .Lisa Marie loved Queen and Freddie so much that when she saw them in concert shortly after her father died, she gave Freddie one of Elvis' scarves. Our lives often have beautiful threads running through it. Lisa's certainly did.
High praise to everyone who spoke.❤
Wow! Thank you for this. I had no idea Freddie wrote that song for Elvis! You are right, about our lives having beautfiul threads running through it. 🕯
It's called Graceland for a reason .. yes.. Mysterious ways ..
@@redskywalker3374 Yes, because the daughter of the original owners was named Grace.
@@desiderata333 It's a great song. I love Elvis and I love Freddie so it's a win win for me!
Axl, you did a beautiful job honoring your friend. God bless
That was beautiful said Axl Rose
Hello Karen
How are you doing today?
What a nice man, so great to see you well and kind and caring … still giving love
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
It is nice to see this gentle sweet side of this man who truly bearing his 💙
Yes I agree rockers from the 80s and 90s had that heardcore edge about them and it was really touching to just see the musician sit down and his keyboard and play his heart out. I recognize that is just a stage image a rocker puts on for performance but it’s nice to peek behind the vail and see this soft side. I’m selfishly glad they put him on the spot❤. Thank you Axl. Your playing was so healing ❤️🩹
@@46foryounger I agree, it was beautiful. Fit for a princess. Beautiful Lisa Marie💖

I felt as if my soul was touched when he spoke the eulogy.. ..
Axl has always been my favorite musician & singer as long as I can recall.... I had no idea he was so talented.... not just in the musical realm .....
What an amazing human being.....
BuIt then he gets a pass for being a complete assh$ole to everyone the rest of his life ? He has a lot of making up to do before he can be considered sweet and gentle.
Axl Rose.. You did great..
Well done, Axl.
Kind words spoken from a gentleman... those who have suffered recognize those who have suffered
A gentleman? You don't know his history do you

@@kingryanidas17he's 60 now, let go the past
Well done Sir .. Beautifully spoken Axl ..rip Lisa
rip Lisa. For what? rip her for what?
I loved his candid honesty. Even when he said he was put on the spot and nervous❤. I’m sure he felt such a great responsibility but his speech and his playing was so healing and beautiful. She must have been smiling down from heaven❤
Yeah Waw to discover that Alx is so extremely shy it was something new for me, but also to see him looking a lot better than a few years back is very comforting...
That was so beautiful tribute from Axl Rose. I'm sure he was asked there because Lisa Marie loved him and his music. Such a stand up guy. TY so much Axl for the wonderful song for Lisa💕💖
@@karlwalter2242 no, Axl is just a prick, humble doesn’t exist in his vocabulary.
@46foryounger
Smiling down from heaven lol.
You are very naive and ignorant.
She isn’t in heaven and never will be.
You need to read scripture if you don’t want to sound like a babbling nincompoop.
Loved her and love him. Bless his heart .
Beautiful! Axl is a true legend!
Je suis d'accord...
He was perfect choice to delivery a message on her memorial, he did a nice job, always knew he was human and this shows it, his caring words about Lisa Marie Presley,....
Great words from great man. Axl. We love you Lisa . We love you Axl.
Great man..??? Get help..lol
@@katjay3125 if you don'y have anything nice to say, please remain silent.
@@katjay3125, Axl is a great human being. You do not have to like him & you do not have to be a fan of his, but talking trash about strangers on the internet says a lot about you.
@@katjay3125 go under the train pls. The human race would be thankful and very
proud of u;-)
@@katjay3125 yes a great Rocker
Axl you did a beautiful speach. Im a super fan of yours. Sending luv from Australia 🇦🇺❤
Absolutely beautiful
Hello Becky
How are you doing today?
So hard to talk when your heart hurts inside! Axl, such moving words😔💞
Wow - with the exception of concerts Axl NEVER gives speeches or has any other type of public appearance. They must have been very close.
He did do the interview at the China Exchange in London in 2016, so you can't say "never". Have you seen it? It's great. At times, it's a little hard to understand but fans have written transcripts which are available online.
You are right!!! I was thinking the same, actually, he even doesn't like to appears in any awards events, this is so rare. This will be probably the last time that we can see him in a public appareance talking of someone else.
Words from his heart ❤️
This was truly an amazing thing Axl did, he was nervous, but showed such kindness and love...beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman...
Axl is a big Elvis fan
Axl sweet boy heat of the gold 🌹I love you so much 💕
Axl has changed tremendously since I knew him years ago, I praise him for his courage to give an Awesome speech!
How did you know Axl?
This was an absolutely beautiful tribute from Axl. Honoring their friendship. RIP sweet Lisa. You will be truly missed 🙏❤
I'm sorry for your loss, Axl! Excellent performance for your friend! Legendary musician.
Jump on the bandwagon 😆
@@jamesalley4061 He was invited and asked to sing by her family. He did himself proud. Spoke beautiful. Rest in peace Lisa Marie Presley xxx
@@jamesalley4061 stfu troll go play in traffic
Axl Rose has definitely changed his life and has become a great person and he definitely has a heart.
Love you, Axl
You did good, Axl💚🌻
He had an excellent, eloquent speech for his dear friend. It was beautiful.
Hello Donna
How are you doing today?
Great tribute, Axl ❤
Hello Caroline
How are you doing today?
Thank you for your song, Mr. Rose.
Axl did a wonderful job speaking, that was very touching. I'm sure Lisa would have been very touched to hear him speak, she was such a compassionate, empathetic woman💞❣️ The world has lost such a beautiful woman. RIH Lisa Marie Presley 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello Valerie
How are you doing today?
Axl you did a fantastic job! very classy my friend.
Well said Axl. ❤
You are a true poet Mr W. Axl Rose🤝
Beautiful speech
Absolutely heartfelt
Glad to see Axle make an appearance. Looked better than I expected.
Axl Rose showing up to anything, and on time, is a true testament to how loved Lisa Marie was.
To do anything ?... Late was in the past !!
Yall really hold this dudes teenage and early 20 years against him decades later. You're bored and will never amount to anything.
You are like 20 years in the past dude
Thank you , Axl .
Axl You've got your act together God-bless you
Thank you Axl✝️🙏❤️
Love from Australia....Thankyou Axl RIP Lisa Marie 💜💜💜
Beautiful!!
Lisa Marie you beautiful angel, you carried such a heavy burden. You were the most famous child in the world, you were a beautiful woman, singer and caring mother. You left us way too soon.
Now you are with your papa and your son Benjamin. You are missed here. My heartfelt condolences to the friends and family...especially the children and Priscilla. Lisa we love you, forever unforgotten. rest gently.😭😭😭🖤💔🙏🏻
Well said Axl. Thank you
Awww Axl Rose, God bless him. 🙏🏽🌹
Thank you Axl for a heartfelt tribute. God Bless.
Classy axl! I like him
Beautiful words Axl. Lisa Marie rest in the Light. Know that you are so loved💗
Master class!
RIP Lisa and very big heart to Axl❤️🎶
Bless Axl Rose, he was about to lose it. I cant imagine. I wouldve been bawling my eyes out trying to sing and play, as I am right now. Im glad he made it through it. I think he and Lisa had a lot in common, with the exception that Lisa had plenty of love as a child, whereas he was treated awful by a stepfather. He found out his true last name was Rose and not Bailey. I had a great uncle named Bill Bailey, he was musically talented, too. With a fiddle, banjo and guitar.
Hi Janet. When Axl started talking, I didn't even recognize him. Then I saw his name!! The service was very beautiful and I had tears going down my cheeks when Axl sang and played November Rain. I still cannot believe that Lisa Marie is gone. She was only 2 years older than my oldest Son. My Heart is broken for Priscilla, Riley, Harper and Finley. These 14 year old twins are traumatized! I pray for them and ask God to Comfort , Guide, Strengthen, Love and give them Understanding. At 14 their precious minds cannot endure losing their Mother. Look what happened to Lisa's Life. She lost her Daddy at 9 years old. Then lost her Son Benjamin 3 years ago. Such sad and devastating losses. I'm sorry that I commented too much. Blessings to you and your family Janet. 💞 From Illinois USA 🇺🇸 January 22, 2023
@@Queen71373 well most of the pain she brought on herself. Nobody has to have children or go through 4 divorces....smh
You pompous a$$hole. How dare you judge her, or anyone else that way! You must have no skeletons in your closet?! LMBO
You should really consider how you judge and treat others because you're reaping nothing but curses on your life and anyone you love!
Shame on you. I feel very sorry for you. You must be extremely miserable and very unhappy to be such an ugly hearted person😥💔
@@Xane_Dragon Totally ignorant and unnecessary comment!
@@Xane_Dragon that was totally uncalled for and just plain rude and heartless
I have never been a fan of Axl Rose, but I thought his demeanor, behavior and performance at Lisa Marie's memorial was exemplary; I did not know who he was at first, but his big, square rings let me know that he was someone important. I was particularly impressed by his humility which may have come from his troubled upbringing in Indiana. Of all the people who provided a tribute to Lisa Marie at the memorial, Axl Rose's testament was the only one that left me with something. It is easy to see why he was asked to speak and perform, even if he was surprised that they asked him to do so.
Axl has always been this way. He is an amazing human being.
so well said!!
He's a superb man very well Respected
@@unicorncats7225 well at least he's clean cut now
He didn't put on a "Performance" he was at a Funeral for his friend. He was terribly distressed with sadness and overcome with grief
Axle Rose---one of the greatest rockers of all time. Good of him to come.
He is a wonderful person ! Thank you so very much love you !
Great to see you Axl speaking at Lisa's memorial may Lisa Rest in Peace .All Gods angels are in Heaven ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
Thank you for speaking and singing Axl.You are one of my favorite singers of all time! Can't believe Lisa Marie is gone! RIP and prayers to Pricilla, her grandkids, and rest of the family.💐💐💐
Axl ❤️
Elvis lost his mother when he was young . So did Axl. He does understand .❤️
Axls mother died 96, he was then 34.
@@aleksik4028 So what your saying is his
Mother was 62....?? when he was born??
@@Cynthia00007 Year 1996, well that was the info somewhere if that can be trustful info.
😢 I still can’t believe it. This hit hard, just like when John F. Kennedy, Jr.’s plane went down. When I was little, my Grandmom would always bring home People magazine, Star, The Enquirer, etc. and I would look through them and see pictures of Lisa Marie with her mom & see pictures of John F. Kennedy, Jr. enjoying life. I always saw them both as American royalty. Now they’re both gone.😢
Rest in peace, beautiful Lisa Marie Presley. 🕊️🌹🕯️ You're with your son again. And your father.💫
Goes to show money can't stop tragedy 🪦
Both=murdered.
Tears in my eyes ..I'm a singer and I know how hard it is to sing when you're crying! Beautiful and full of emotion...
Way for axl to show respect 🙏 rip lisa
Went from being a ball of energy to speaking so sincerely, wow! Respect for this man
You did a great job Axl,well done!

Thank you Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
That was beautiful what her children's, wrote and others, R.I.P.,Lisa Marie.
Axl would text Lisa trying to cheer her up. Sending her funny animal videos. I'm sure just like many of us would do for our friends.
beautiful words, Lisa will be missed
Never liked the song or him and I could not stop crying thru the whole thing. I see now that hearts can change. Rest with the angels Lisa
Axl is a good guy. Don't listen to the negative media
Axl you are such a beautiful soul💜sending you my blessing and All my love💜
Axl speech was pure perfection. And his dedication of November Rain was absolutely incredible
Perfection? I dont think so. Not even close.

Sat here in tears, never seen such a supposed arrogant person as axl show so much true emotion
Fantastic axl, long live you and gnr 😢
❤ To be a last minute tribute to her, you did a fantastic job. ❤
I agree. I loved that it didn’t feel released and he just sat down and played for his heart❤. His piano playing was so beautiful ❤
Great speech. He’s looking better these days.
R. I. P. Lisa Marie. Can’t believe your gone. Sitting on gods lap now
Hello Doris
How are you doing today?
No, Paul Stanley is sitting on his.
Thank you Axl Rose 💙💙💙🙏!
Aww lovely axl lisa would be so proud of u clearly were close friends. So hard to do ❤️
Axl was my Elvis. My dad was a huge Elvis lover. At 13 I can remember showing my dad Axl performing on the music awards. I was so proud he watched it and said Axl was pretty good. Knowing now that Axl was close to Lisa Marie makes me feel proud all over again.
I was 8 or 9 when APPETITE came out. Yes, he was My Elvis as well.
Very touching tribute here to his friend...
My idol never disappoints.
That was a dignified, honest and beautiful tribute to Lisa Marie Presley by Axl Rose. Thank you, Axl, for such a thoughtful and appropriate message for your friend Lisa Marie, beloved daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley.
you're welcome.
What a beautiful tribute , an amazing effort that Priscila put together ,so loving 🥰 such an amazing 🥲
God bless the man.
Well done Axl.
Axl still has that wonderful, distinctly male voice 💯🤘
he has not undergone a sex change.
Well done Axl WELL DONE
My wife and I were at a Guns N Roses show in Vegas about 8 years ago, 2016 ish and we bought private suite tickets. Lo an behold there were 4 other people in the suite and it was Lisa Marie and her at the time husband and two children. We were stunned when we realized it was her and were blown away at her kindness, generosity and humbleness that night. She took the time to take several pics with us with no hesitation. I can honestly say she is the most beautiful woman I have even seen in person (besides my wife of course). Just absolutely breathtakingly stunning. We have met a lot of huge celebrities over the years but nothing compared to Lisa Marie now that we look back on it. RIP Lisa and I'm sure you have touched thousands of people like you did my wife and I that night. An absolute national treasure like your father and you are sorely missed.
That was a very real and well done Axl
Axl u got a great ❤️ heart . She is with her dad now rip Lisa m. Presley
Axl...!!! WoW..... How moving & touching. I love you man!!!!! I know Lisa Marie did too. I felt peace wash over me as you spoke & sang. God Bless You!!!! Thank you for stepping in at the last minute. I'm guessing Riley changed her mind on speaking. Priscilla also spoke for Riley. Bless her heart.
Congratulations Axl Rose. Your singing of november rain was so beautiful. We are all so proud of you your voice is awesome and aged with perfection like the finest wine. Your fans love you and we'll follow you anywhere. ❤
So well said. I have been a Fan of Elvis my whole life,I am also a fan of Guns and Roses. My favorite album from GAR is Chinese Democracy. I saw the video of him singing November Rain at this memorial and it was a tear jerker for sure and that piano playing was simply amazing. The comments were turn off for that video as i would have commented there too. Rest in peace beautiful Lisa Marie Presley❤
My heart and prayers for Lisa’s family 🙏🙏🙏🙏
