Asia Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 1 minute ago, Lio said: Did he ever play a GNR song as a guest with another band? (No NuGNR 'jokes' please ) Don't think so. So this is just like singing Salt of the Earth or Free Fallin. I'm happy Axl's finally doing that again after 25 years or so. I like to believe he's in a better place now than he has been in decades. Billy Joel often covers HTH, apparently, so it makes sense to let Axl sing it this time. I have a feeling people are doing their best to make everything into a negative. No it isn't beacause he wasn't singing Salt of the Earth or Free Falling taking somone else's guestspot like he's taking Johnson's now. It was his own guestspot and he even chose a song that the Stones haven't played for years and they agreed to dig it up for him. And that when he was still just a beginner. That was a really cool thing. This, on the other hand, is a bit weird and creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did Big Shot as well, if you noticed. Still think you're trying to find negatives whenever it involves Axl and AC/DC. But of course you're entitled to your own opinion. I think the general feeling about this is positive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really it's weird. Love the idea of guestspotting but I'd rather see him (with whoever it might be) celebrating his own achievements that brought him to that place instead of taking over Johnson's guest spots and friends. It reminds me of a stalker who's stealing someone else's identity. Axl might also think he's Brian's incarnation, even though Brian is still alive ?.

And yes I am negative towards his AC/DC stunts and always will be because I simply believe Axl has proven himself as a genius enough composer, musician and author to actually stand up there as himself and for himself and take credits for his own achievements rather than take jobs. I mean, God, people of this caliber just don't take jobs. Can anyone imagine Mick Jagger taking job of a former singer of band X and then also take over that person's guestspots?

Seeing as when he can pick an AC/DC tune he always chooses Bon Scott songs, like HTH. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2017 Axl is a Billy Joel fan, he guests at his concert because he admires the guy. Gets asked to sing HTH and Big Shot and that's weird and creepy and trying to take Brian Johnsons identity? It was just a couple of songs with another musician. Im glad Axl is out and about and interested in performing with other artists. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about? Axl should feel honoured to sing for a band as prestigious as AC/DC and it's obvious that he does, regardless of what he's achieved in his own career. And you should be proud that he's doing so well if you're a fan of his. (Obviously you can feel and act however you want) I just find it odd if you're an Axl fan that having him in AC/DC isn't exciting for you. It's one of the greatest collaborations I've ever seen and some of the best, if not the best, vocal performances he's ever done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Gn'R reality tv. Everybody got a channel if they're inside the circle of thrust so why expect the truth when it comes to politics from a bald guy that is really tight with Axl? it's just his opinions and everybody on board gets to have one. Dell likes horrid movies and doesn't like Trump. He expresses these brutally important feelings in his allocated Guns window on your right. The Gn'R public needs to know. The best option is always to remove but he's like Dizzy Reed or them crooked mods, they last forever and a decade. Del can't handle the Trump and you can't handle the lies Del tells. Everybody winds.
