Axl's Agony Aunt Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Dream gig for Axl, he's shown his love of AC/DC throughout his career, so ideal for AC/DC American tour too. Plus Axl can use the dates to warm up for the Guns dates/tour. Good all round, so shouldn't be any controversy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could add Down Payment Blues, Gimme a Bullet and Kicked in the Teeth from Powerage too. All underdog songs Axl could relish and do justice to if his voice is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Happy Birthday Angus Young, 61 today. Doesn't look a day over 71 though...a lot of wear on those tires, but he's had a hell of a life. Angus- We Salute You! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getizzyback Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 As far as Brian's songs goes, Axl couldn't do any worse on any songs from Blow Up Your Video, Stiff Upper Lip, and Black Ice. To me it just sounds like the singing is way too loud for the music, making his vocals horrible. Not blaming him of course, just bad on the sound mixers part. Even most songs in Ballbreaker are hard for me to handle. I think they did much better with Rock or Bust. I think their best album since The Razor's Edge. But I feel bad for Brian, hope he gets his hearing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yes Brian Johnson has an incredibly raspy voice. There is no denying that. Or at least had. Can anyone link me a reputable source that lists him as one of the best singers of all time? Or even rock music? I'm genuinely curious because I know there are several for Axl. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever hear many people talking about Brian Johnson as even one of the better frontmen in rock history. He's got the voice and did a great job filling in the last 35 years, enough to separate AC/DC into 2 different legacies which is incredible when you think about it. But I think some of you are going a little extreme here. Ok, so an ACDC forum and some online comments you are reading are negative. Great. Welcome to the internet. I think the interest this "rumor" has generated is proof enough there is massive interest in an Axl/ACDC grouping? Well, as far as hard rock singers go, he's (Brian) right up there in my book- 35 years screaming his fucking head off...just like Angus and the band, solid as a rock. I mean, let's compare Axl and Brian. Brian is older, put more strain on his voice (as he has surely played a lot more shows than Axl) and consistently released a whole slew of albums. People like to pooh pooh or dismiss ACDC, but (well, it's not quite the same now without Malcolm and Phil) they are a force of fucking nature. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's related but he's fifty fucking four now and he was in his 20's then. It *might* might be related, but it's probably not. As you well know, the mid 50's is when people hit their primes, take a look at pro sports, just one example. The best playes in football? In their 50's. Baseball? 50's. Don't get me started on the NBA, name one player at the pro level that is under 40... that's right none! Yeah. I can't imagine what happened over the last 30 years that he somehow seems older and less energetic now. Maybe he is sick? It just doesn't make any sense. You might be on to something big.

BangoSkank Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Haven't been closely following this as much as I want, but it looks like the gap in GNR dates fit nicely with what AC/DC wants to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Guys can you believe GNR is going to be playing to crowds as big as the one in that AC/DC video?? Fuck man. These are big shows! Edited April 3, 2016 by Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Nash Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It would be fucking good. No disrespecting Brian, but Axl performing ACDC songs would fucking melt the polar ice in 2 seconds. Fans of both ACDC and GNR would be pleased cos it's fucking natural at this point. But i don't thinks it's going to happen now. GNR is kicking so much ass right now.

Teroz Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Brians vocals are even more straining than Axls and he has done much much more of touring and studio work than Axl. Is alot older and was superb on the Rock or Bust tour. One of a kind kinda guy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
