I see the show ending one of two ways. Either Dany vs Jon in a battle for Westeros or everyone vs White Walkers. If its the first scenario I can see Dany being the 'heel' to Jon. If it's the second scenario (and that's what I'm leaning towards) Dany and Jon will unite. I don't see any way of beating the Walkers without the dragons playing a part. A few valyrian swords and some dragon glass isn't enough.

Does Theon and his sister take the fleet to Mareen?
I presume not as that's where Euron is heading? Would be daft to head to the same place an entire army that wants you dead is also going. Unless they think they can get Dany on their side before Euron gets there?

How many more shows does he have with ac/dc?
he is going to get crucified in the USA if he sounds like with ac/dc and guns.
Disagree, AT the moment. He sounded killer the first few shows and now he's doing a good job but struggling with the higher tougher bits. A shame but forgiveable.
I would argue a GNR set is easier on his voice due to the very varied pacings and ranges to the songs. Not to mention the more frequent breaks during the show.
However if he wants to continue the AC/DC thing beyond this summer then they're going to need to rethink either touring schedule, set list or both.
Personally I'm hoping this AC/DC thing gets knocked on the head after the summer. Fun as a novelty but long term I don't think it's in anyones best interests.

So what are your guys predictions for what happens during the rest of the season?
I expect Brans story to reveal Jons parentage by the end of the season. This will no doubt be a big moment but as everyone is taking it as fact he's Lyanna and Rhaegars it will be an anti climax if that's confirmed.
I think we'll see Jon v Ramsey, hopefully we see a Jon win and the Starks retake Winterfell but knowing GOT he'll lose a leg or something.
I think we'll see Cersei and Marjory trials. I'm assuming Cersei will opt for trial by combat and choose the Mountain who will win. Less sure on Marjory, I had a theory she'd do the same and ask Tommen to be her champion by way of revenge on Cersei, knowing he'd get killed (fulfilling the witches prophecy etc). Although if Tommen dies she loses and is no longer Queen so it doesn't make too much sense beyond an act of ill thought out revenge.
Not sure on the other plot threads, perhaps Dany will return to Mereen, presumably Euron will appear there at some point with his fleet of new ships?
Not a clue where Aryas story is heading?
Still think we'll see Stannis back at some point as well.

Those About To Rock sounds awful, like he's really struggling. Rest still sounds good though but there's definite signs of vocal fatigue. Not sure the chair is really the issue, he's not out of breath it's a voice thing. Needs to be quiet as a church mouse in his downtime.

Decent episode although I think I enjoyed the previous couple more. I think you can have too much Bran in one episode 
What were the fan theories that were confirmed Atari? Did someone really guess Hodor meant 'hold the door'?
#467 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose joins AC/DC » 521 weeks ago
He does, but I don't think studio work was ever really the issue. More the risk to his hearing a live show poses and in turn the impact that has on his live vocals.

I'd say the quality this season has been poor overall, with Leicesters win papering over the cracks of generally falling standards. How would Leicester fare against Barca I wonder?
However we've actually had our best season in a few years in terms of european success. A team in the champions league semis and europa league final is the best for a while.
I'm actually optimistic for the Euros as well. Looking forward to seeing how Kane, Vardy and Alli get on.

The NBA interview still haunts me.

Only because they didn't have Twitter in 1980.
Actually I hear that kind of thing a lot in Australia.
I'm a huge fan of Brian Johnston and it drives me nuts because basically you can not say anything to shower praise on him without someone always interjecting that it's not the same since Bon.
Obviously there's the real fans who grew up listening to Bon and loved him, but I also wonder if it's become a bit hipster to have the opinion that Bon is best. Seems like it's said a lot so that people who don't really listen to rock music at all can appear knowledgable about Ac/Dc when the topic comes up.
Anyway Axl has really delivered on this, to me he was pretty much the only person in the world who had a shot at replicating Brian. There's so much of Brian's character and mood in the songs even when he's not always involved in the songwriting. But Axl has brought his A level game and is really delivering. So although I'll always love Brian i'm also going to just enjoy this for what it is - as it's pretty damn cool in it's own right.
It's definitely the hipster thing to say 'Ya it's just not ACDC without Bon'. Fine if you prefer Bon but fuck off with this shit, that was 36 years ago. ACDC have released the most successful rock album of all time since then.
I'd personally rather this Axl thing is temporary. Great as he sounds I want that in GNR and his focus in GNR. It's fine as a short term side project but then hopefully (though I seriously doubt it) they can get Brian back in. I think Axl will be looked upon far more favourably by ACDC fans as Brians short term stand in than as his long term replacement.
