Axl is probably the worst frontman out of the three. His attitude stinks too. However, there are times on song (piano version of November Rain) when his voice gave me actual chills. I'd put Axl in the middle.
Steve Tyler is far and away the best frontman, and probably the best vocalist too. But it's all about the songs, and whilst there's certain Aerosmith songs I love, the rest are just okay to me.

Axl was an amazing frontman, arguably the best in the business at his peak. A great voice and so unpredictable which, to me, makes a great frontman. Okay, it can get a bit much if you don't know if he'll even show or not but he was likely to literally do anything.
These days, he's a bit of a parody of himself but still has some of the old magic. Saw him in 2010 in Belfast and Dublin. It showed the two sides of him - in Belfast he was excellent but in Dublin he nearly caused a riot after walking off stage.
Never seen Tyler live but believe he is excellent.
Jon is excellent as well. I've never seen a bad show from him and the Dublin show in 2000 (the famous thunder storm show) was the best live performance I've seen bar none.
