Axl Rose to front AC/DC?! WTF?
 

Because it wasn't bad enough what the band did to Brian Johnson...but then bringing in Axl Rose to replace him?!

Startin' to sound like Malcolm's not the only one with the cheese sliding off the cracker.

Welcome to the jungle...we got tons of cake.

What did they do to Brian Johnson?

That will do more damage than good ...

Welcome to the buffet!!!!
we got buns and rolls. we got all the cake you need. honey to coat your ham

Another great band replaces lead singer with shitty replacement

Yeah what did they do?

I know at some point, back in the eighties, Johnson contributed lyrics to AC/DC. Then that suddenly stopped and the buzz was the Youngs basically refused to allow any Johnson songs on any AC/DC album due to royalties (the Youngs wanted to keep them all).

Johnson stayed 'cause he came from obscurity and had no other place to go.
So what happened this time?

Johnson started having hearing problems and instead of working things out they used it as an excuse to kick him out of the band.

Uh...Guns N Roses with the original line up are one of the bands that are playing the new stadium here in Vegas.

That's a huge reunion tour. Not sure how he would be able to do both tours?

Lol, he probably will be 2 hours late to the first show, if he makes it.

That would be awesome. But with that kind of attitude, i don't think it will be a good mix.

Axl sucks at singing and is completely unprofessional. It is a mistake to have him front any band at this point.

That was my first thought.

Wonder how big the resulting riot will be. LOL at the thought of bloated 50yr olds in AC/DC shirts getting into a riot.

How come they have to be "bloated"? Can't 50 year olds be in good shape or skinny?
You don't see me laughing at bloated 20 year olds do you? lol

I was thinking that myself. Why would he settle for whatever AC/DC is going to pay him when he is going to rake in tens of millions fronting Guns on the reunion tour.

Is Izzy Stradlin in the band?
If not it's not G'N'R to me.

Maybe he meant financially bloated since 50 year olds will be the only ones who could afford $200 a ticket. :)

"Co-founder Izzy Stradlin, a childhood friend of Mr. Rose?s, has said he won?t appear for these early dates, but he could join up later. "

Time for AC/DC to retire. scraping the bottom of the barrel for a few bucks

More than just a few. They are play arenas with an average price of about $100 per ticket. I bet they sell out (or come very close) most of these venues.

G & r tickets for the lv show, decent seats are $700+. In the pit are a few grand each. We were gonna go.

uh ... ac dc just had one of the largest grossing tours of all time.

ac/dc is way bigger than g n r.

The OP said Axl Rose not Weird Al!:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I would rather eat my own shit than see that bloated shit stain of a human.

AC/DC is officially over.

For the record, I would pay to see Weird Al front AC/DC.

I would just rather see weird al. He puts on a great show

Back in their prime, if you got them on the right night, Guns N Roses was an amazing live bad. However, if Axl was in a bad mood or you got them on a bad night they were a whirling dervish cluster fuck to watch.

When I saw this on the news, I didn't get it either.

always a g n r fan but i like steve perry too. some things should just be left for good memories. Not a fan of axle anymore or his business approach. I would love to be that famous and would have a different work ethic for sure. You can not be a super star and be self entitled.

Just a dumb rumor started from some nobody. Won't happen.

I recall seeing one of their more recent videos - the crowd was filled with flabby geriatrics.

So was the stage. :winkwink:

I am hoping that the Vegas shows are good ones. I am sending both my boys as a special treat. They grew up listening to GnR with me. I had so skip some songs due to lyrics when they were little, but they are both big fans.

It's greed as same everybody else.a billion is never enough.I first seen AC/DC back when they first started out backing up Aerosmith.they blew them away.

That's a pretty serious impediment for a singer, how do you "work things out" with a deaf singer?

I paid $400 apiece to see them 6 months ago.

Jesus Christ, I just realized the first time I saw AC/DC was 38 fucking years ago!

just tell him the coke will be in his mic :2 cents::2 cents:

Honestly didn't know they had done anything to Brian Johnson?

I did a really quick search and Brian said doctors told him he would have complete hearing loss if he didn't stop ? Or maybe that is a cover story?

He has publicly stated after all this happened that his hearing loss was not as bad as initially thought and that he was probably going to be able to tour, but then found out from a third party he was already out of the band.

I was just going by his comments here.

Brian Johnson downplays hearing issues, says he was “kicked to the curb” by AC/DC | Consequence of Sound

I ran into Weird Al in the cereal isle at Whole Foods in WeHo. :pimp

Best comment from the article I posted:

"Maybe they told him he could stay in the band but he couldn't hear them."

Lol

That must have been a hell of a great show. Two of the best stadium bands ever!

i enjoy bloated shit stains :2 cents:

Axl Rose Vocal Change: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...XMlygrATsyerc3

They should have got Jimmy Barnes.

i've never been a big fan of Axl Rose but whether you want it or not, the guy is a fucking legend

So if i have to pay for a ticket concert for ACDC, i'll get to see 2 legends for the price of one, not a bad deal

Then I would definitely go. Izzy was like the Keith Richards of the band. His first couple solo records were amazing (tho he can't sing for shit, just like Richards).

This reminds me of when Paul Rodgers joined Queen. They did a big tour, released a live album of Queen classics with Rodgers singing them. They even made a studio record. Still wasn't the same but A+ for effort. Maybe this will be like that.

The summer tour cities were announced today. No dates yet.

axl was amazing at one time, but that was a lifetime ago
