Was thinking this would happen the other day. Less chance than me getting the gig.

The "friend" in this article could just be the same SNL guy, but if not, very interesting.

It sounds like something Angus would do.

Thanks. Yeah, I assume that's what Ford was talking about.

Axl Rose Joining AC/DC Is Reportedly ‘All But A Done Deal’

 

[rumply]

Well it's official, Rose to front for the remainder of the current tour, be interesting to hear what sort of reviews he gets.

 

[TooFar]

Well, can he cut it?





Not for me...

 

[hey shorty]

Oh please no. Angus for gods sake just wind it up. Lets not have this stain of a bloke front the band.

Ever.

 

[edgie]

Axl was the last iconic Rock frontman, I'm giving jom a chance.

It is still odd we've heard nothing from Brian. The Young's run a tighter ship than Kim Jong. Nothing gets in or out without their approval.

Even 40 years later, Mark Evans still won't disclose the full reasons behind his leaving the band.

Yep rule with an iron fist.

He took those comments back in a later article, me thinks the Youngs got their lawyer to send a letter.

Tom Petty remains this

Tom Petty remains this

Petty plays instruments and sings. Doesn't count IMO.

The true rock frontman only played one instrument and that is their voice. Rare exceptions apply (piano, bagpipes).

I think Queen have FINALLY got the right front man in Adam Lambert, but seriously, Brian needs to let go. He's clearly in charge of the shows and there's so many long boring bits. Nobody, absolutely ******* NOBODY, wants to see a bass solo. And a drum solo can be interesting, but not for 7 ******* minutes.

He seems so determined to give everyone their turn. Mate, nobody went to see Queen for the other guys.

I actually disagree about Adam Lambert, he's a good showman but this guy almost got the gig and is a better fit...he even looks like Freddie..

Marc Martel everybody !!

 

[Mootsy]

As for ACDC I think Axl is one of the better choices to quickly stand in. He has experience playing big shows and everyone knows him..

 

[ManWithNoName]

Tom Petty remains this

 

[edgie]

People who play play instruments while singing more often than not are not frontmen. They are not Robert Plant, Bon Scott, Brian Johnson, Axl Rose, Freddie Mercury, etc.

 

[NitroFan]

Angus played Rosie and Riff Raff with them at Coachella the other day.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Not sure how he goes these days but Axl never had the strongest of voices in his heyday. Might be rasping five songs in after Back In Black...

It's only for ten shows at this stage, if it doesn't work out then hopefully they call it a day.

 

[RICHOLEGEND12]

Axl will do a better job than I thought. But still it's time to pack it in. The band that is playing now isn't AC/DC. They should of just ended it with Black Ice.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Rock or Bust is a decent album.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Angus played Rosie and Riff Raff with them at Coachella the other day.

Touch of echo added to the vocals, maybe?

 

[Zuma]

Granted. this man leads the way in terms of working a stage and energy, oh and his guitar playing is often overlooked

 

[edgie]

Interesting that Angus played Riff Raff, when was the last time that was done live? It is an Axl favourite. Wonder if they will mix up the set list of these last 10 shows to accomodate him?

I may not like every decision the band makes and how it is run outside of creating music, but I still trust them. The whole "no original members bar angus" is overrated anyway.

Cliff - 1977 - Powerage
Chris - 1990 - The Razors Edge
Stevie - 1988 - Blow Up Your Video tour.

They all have a decent enough history with the band. They aren't KISS style ringins.

Makes sense given Axl's punk leanings.

Only listed three times with Brian at setlist.fm, twice in New Orleans in 1986 and in the 1996 London VH1 set.

Maybe Angus' best little-known solo.
