He sounds even worse there. Geez. I don't like the way they dumped him, but maybe they're doing him a favor long term. Protect his hearing and prevent his vocals from continuing to get worse with age and hearing problems.

If nothing else, maybe AC/DC will revisit a lot of the deep cuts from the Bon Scott era. If I was a diehard AC/DC fan, I would embrace the potential of this. They just might get to hear a bunch of shit they never thought they'd hear Angus play ever again.
Nah, I would take Brian.
On those two videos? You're fucking nuts. Brian can barely even get the words out.

I don't necessarily think the faster tempo is a bad thing. In 1986 at Music Machine they played super slow and it was fucking awesome, lol. Either way it gives the songs a different sound and that is refreshing when you think about how many thousands of times all of us have heard the songs. In general it would be better if they can get it locked down to the studio tempo, mainly for casual audiences.

I feel terrible for Brian Johnson, but if AC DC fans are up in arms because their new frontman is Axl then they really need to get a grip on reality. They could have Myles Fucking Kennedy or Eric Dover or that receding hairline guy from Coldplay. Or they could have seen the end come.
From the G&R perspective, I feel as though I am getting 26 new Axl songs when this tour kicks off. Very exciting.
I dunno, depends on which Axl shows up. If it's raspy Axl as we heard in Rosie/Raff last night, could be a good situation. But if it's Mickey Mouse Axl, then you have a situation similar to Myles Kennedy butchering Mr. Brownstone and so many other GN'R songs.

I am sure he is fine I am just talking stupid. To am addict they claim you can't be around that stuff. I don't know because I don't have experience with it. I just remember that Aerosmith made GNR hide all their shit when they were around each other because they were trying to stay sober. I think Meegan will keep him straight.
Yes I think Slash is mainly hanging with Meegan and Duff. It's a very different time now. I think both of them will be just fine. The other GN'R people aren't crazy partiers either.

Slash was off too last night. I hope to god this huge stage and pressures that come with it don't get to Slash. Remember, the conspirators are all sober dudes. Only Slash and Duff are sober that I know of in GNR.
You must have a different definition of sober. Drinking a beer once in a while does not make you an alcoholic.

GNRs Whole Lotta Rosie has never sounded so good, Angus is the real deal!
His energy on stage is incredible. Moves around great despite his age.
#369 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose joins AC/DC » 545 weeks ago
You gotta admit "Axl/DC" has a much better ring to it than "nu-GNR." I wonder if Angus will consider official merchandise with the Axl/DC logo.

Hopefully we get some footage of the AC/DC songs at some point.
