Heretic Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 By Brett Buchanan - Mar 23, 2016 58 Atlanta Radio 100.5 DJ Jason Bailey reported yesterday on his show, as transcribed by Alternative Nation, that a ‘very very good source’ is telling him that Axl Rose will indeed be joining AC/DC to front the band for the remainder of their tour. Alternative Nation first reported rumors of Rose touring with AC/DC on Monday. “This is what I’m being told, Axl was meeting with the AC/DC group, because it’s all but a done deal that Axl will front AC/DC for the 10 remaining shows. All 10, including Atlanta.” “From what I was told, this was all kind of new inside information to me, Angus is a very black and white guy. He’s like, Brian, for health reasons, can’t continue fronting the band. He was supposed to retire after the last tour, so they wanted to continue going out on the road and continue making music, so if you can’t do it, we appreciate your services, but the show must go on. They’re in town, they were auditioning people for the job, and then they flew Axl in, again, this is from my source.” Axl Rose was spotted in Atlanta over the weekend, and according to MSL from GNRTruth, he was there for rehearsals, but not for Guns N’ Roses. While MSL’s tease on GNRTruth doesn’t specify what exactly Rose is rehearsing for, it has led to rampant speculation that the legendary Guns N’ Roses frontman could be one of AC/DC’s guest singers for their upcoming concerts. AC/DC released the following statement earlier this month: “AC/DC are postponing the remaining dates of their U.S. tour because of lead singer Brian Johnson’s possible hearing loss. The band says in a statement that doctors have advised the ‘Back in Black’ singer to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss. The group’s shows beginning Thursday in Atlanta through April 4 in New York are being rescheduled for later in the year — likely with a guest vocalist. The group’s lone stop in Florida would have been Friday at the BB&T Center in Fort Lauderdale. AC/DC opened the most recent U.S. leg of its ‘Rock or Bust’ tour Feb. 2 in Tacoma, Washington.” http://www.alternativenation.net/axl-rose-ac-dc-all-but-done-deal/?sc_ref=facebook Here a clip of G'N'R doing Whole Lotta Rosie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAce Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 wont this conflict with his GnR reunion ? Other rumors were floating around that GnR were planning a full tour after these shows so it seems unlikely he would scrap all this to sing in 10 shows for ACDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon45ca Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Brutal. Having heard Brian Johnson's side of the story, I have to say I'm more than a little disappointed in AC/DC over this while fiasco. Glad I got to see the band with Malcolm and Brian in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was bad but not nearly as bad as when Tyler secretly tried out for Zeppelin. JOE PERRY Confirms STEVEN TYLER Tried Out For LED ZEPPELIN According to The Pulse of Radio, Joe Perry confirmed the rumors that Steven Tyler did indeed try out for LED ZEPPELIN shortly after Robert Plant passed on reuniting with the band in 2008. For the first time Perry shared the details of Tyler's ill-fated attempt to front ZEPPELIN, telling Classic Rock magazine, "Steven disappeared and I called around. Somebody said he was in London trying out for LED ZEPPELIN. It's something I've never talked about before. It's a kind of window into how hard it's been to keep the partnership together. It's not the first time things like this have happened— that's the downside of our relationship." According to what Jimmy Page told Perry, the rehearsals were "shambolic," with Tyler unfamiliar with the ZEPPELIN catalogue and under the impression they would be working on new material. Perry added: "Page felt really awkward about the audition, but ultimately it was a group decision (to pass on Tyler)." Perry spoke to Arkansas City, Kansas radio station KACY 102.5 FM and admitted that having Paul Rodgers replace Tyler in AEROSMITH was a thought, and that he plans to record some solo tracks with Rodgers in the future.

If any of this was true which I highly doubt. He'd be replacing Brian Johnson. I think bad voice is what they'd be looking for. Johnson sounds like he gargles with lava.

Should go for the lead singer from Airbourne. The are literally AC/DC 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffraff Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Welpz they had a good run. I liked guns n roses a lot back in the day before Axl got fat and braided his hair. always been more of Bon fan anyway. Not to say I don't like Brian Johnson. just imo Bon era acdc is the greatest rock n roll band of all time. \,,/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them live 3 times and the first time was easily the best opening for Cinderella waaay back lol. When they opened for Maiden my ears were bleeding from his screeching. Axle got so pissed at the crowd for chanting Maiden before their set started he almost walked off the stage. Then some tool blew a fire cracker right under his mic and he went ape sh..t. Literally jumped into the crowd to fight the guy. Cannot stand Axle Rose lol. I listened to the early albums back in the day, Loved GNR lies Appetite was descent too really only because Slash is unreal. He carried the entire band imho. Look at his success away from the band. The others are ghosts. The amount of mixing on his voice is endless. Worse the Kroeger lol ok maybe not that bad but still way to shrill for me. I guess my standards are high from the bands/singers that came before him. Totes agree about Bon his sound was perfect for the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I certainly trust your opinion on his live sound as I never saw them live, but have watched recorded live performances. And you're right. The recordings are easily doctored. agree with your take on slash and feel the same way. Guitar god. And they were lucky to have him. For or me it's not just Bon's voice but Bon himself. Born to be a rock n roll frontman. He is rock n roll. Great Soundbytes at the end of this song: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
