Axl Sued For Sexual Assault

what on earth is this -
I will also most likely hit up a show but my thoughts are very similar to Powerage's (who has always been able to describe this stuff better than me). Ultimately with what AC/DC means as a band to me I view this as an opportunity to likely say goodbye. On a similar note, it's undoubtedly great for those who haven't been able to hear these songs live before this, whether they were too young for Black Ice/ROB or whatever else.

My extremely hot RHCP take is that I liked Josh's backing vocals better than John's

Overall great breakdown and fun thread BUT I gotta push back here. Yes, overall, the tour was plagued with issues and it extremely sucks they had to call off everything that was slated for 2023 (and seemingly beyond). The performances themselves though were still fantastic - yes they're older and that creates inherent challenges for playing the music they play (like jumping around and tearing your achilles, lol) but for the limited amount of shows they had, they showed they picked up right back where they left off performance wise. I mean, watch this and tell me it's not right up with classic Rage live moments: Testify from this show is also a good example: They also took a step forward in incorporating any sort of production in their shows for the first time. The root cause was almost definitely to give their old bones a break every 4-5 songs, but the video segments added to the weight of the show and were very well produced. If the tour had started in El Paso like it was supposed to, seeing the El Paso police van in flames that first show at the first time Rage ever had a screen would have been absolutely wild (convinced this is why it's an El Paso van). Also, ironically, having to sit made Zack's vocals arguably better than the last reunion runs just because he was able to focus on them. In short, seeing these, you still believed them. Coming out like retreads and playing those songs without being able to have a crowd still be bought into what they were saying (even if only for 90 minutes before they went home) was always the biggest risk of an RATM reunion and that wasn't what happened. No debate on the tour overall having issues but I don't think they deserve to be lumped in with some of the other absolute disasters you mentioned.

as probably the biggest RATM fan on this forum it would undoubtedly be lame. that said, gun to my head, brad would be the first member i'd replace. i don't want it though.

for what it's worth brad said in an IG comment on his post that tim is good, thankfully
