Is this true? From wikipedia.
Following his departure from Guns N' Roses, according to Adler, he was set to join AC/DC and relocate to Australia. However, during the MTV Video Music Awards in September 1990, Axl Rose announced Adler's firing onstage and branded him a drug addict,[24] which Adler said caused AC/DC's manager to withdraw their offer.[25]

-edit-
Oh and Trunk btw. said in a blog that the "big news" he couldn't announce was Axl joining AC/DC, which was rumored for months.

Stuff like this isn't going to make any waves. From an extreme hardcore perspective....yeah pretty cool. Other people wouldn't even make the connection. Axl could stand next to him and no one would know his connection to Chinese Democracy.
What if Chris Vrenna is backstage at the next show?
You'd at least to have to find it funny.

We already knew this but this show seals it.....the concert experience has went to shit. The average concert goer is not enjoying the show like in decades past. Its all about just standing there and recording it to prove on social media you were there so your friends can wear out the 'like' button. The rest of the crowd not doing this also feeds off the vibe. That massive crowd should have set off the richter scale during at least Jungle but nada.
The front of the audience were the closest ones to "into it" that you'll see on the Jungle/Rain videos. You missed the streams we're watching from the zombie crowd that barely recognized the hits. They didn't recognize Angus either or care about AC/DC.
You can say it's a crowd's these days thing, but this really wasn't their audience. Look at the rest of the acts there yesterday and the way the festival promotes their product, Guns were the odd act out.

Melessia/frank/fortus take the fuckin bus but we're talking about rock n roll royalty here.
Well since the "re-grouping" Dizzy and Del James can afford limos now.

It is fascinating last night that the band where introduced by Larry King and then the celebrity entourage of Arnold, Stallone, Lana Del Rey and probably others like the previous few shows. It's a different time we live in as fans on this band.
It might not mean anything to us, but it's enough to get people talking and gossip sites ect. forced to talk/well at least mention GN'R. The world is seeing them as a major act again.

How's this for brutal?
Johnson 'Kicked To Kerb' As Axl Joins AC/DC
AC/DC's Brian Johnson is reportedly dismayed at confirmation he has been replaced by Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose.
AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson feels "kicked to the kerb" after the band confirmed he had been replaced by Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose for the rest of their tour.
Johnson has been warned he will suffer total hearing loss if he continues performing and AC/DC said they "respect" the singer's decision to bow out.
But Johnson has reportedly voiced dismay at his swift exit.
US comedian and radio host Jim Breuer said he had talked to Johnson, and that he felt "kicked to the kerb" by his bandmates.
In a statement posted on their website, the band said: "AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years.
"We wish him all the best with his hearing issues and future ventures.
"As much as we want this tour to end as it started, we understand, respect and support Brian's decision to stop touring and save his hearing.
"We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Rose has kindly offered his support to help us fulfil this commitment.
"AC/DC will resume their Rock Or Bust World Tour with Axl Rose joining on vocals."
Johnson also reportedly told Jim Breuer that he does not believe his hearing problems are as serious as announced by the band.
AC/DC kick off the European leg of their tour on 7 May in Lisbon, Portugal, before arriving in the UK on 4 June.
They will play the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, and the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on 9 June.
The European leg will conclude in Denmark on 12 June and Rose will then return to Guns N' Roses for the Not In This Lifetime summer stadium tour.
AC/DC were forced to postpone the North American leg of their tour last month because of Johnson's hearing issues.
Those 10 shows will now be rescheduled with Rose, the band said.
Johnson, 68, known for his punishing vocal style, is not an original member of AC/DC, joining after singer Bon Scott died in 1980 after a night of heavy drinking.

Sky News for those outside the UK is the closest thing to Fox News here in the UK outside of Fox News (which is apparently the only subscription based news channel in the UK now as of recently), same hierarchy, but alot tamer though.

He tweeted this just before they hit the stage. It should have been a hint.
