In fairness, Robert Plant did it in Whole Lotta Love, and creepy though it was, he's regarded as a good singer.

Henry Rollins tried the same stunt in the Black Flag song Slip it In, that made me almost puke, but that's another story for another time!

To back Axl up, the noises he makes (I think anyway) could be like a post-punk glam-influenced skat excercise- jazz singers used to do that stuff all the time- using their voice as an instrument but not necessarily singing words. Just another perspective.
