Never in my wildest dreams did I think of that combination. Pretty damn awesome that my favorite band from my high school years would have my favorite singer belting out their tunes. LIFE IS GOOD. Damn, that's fuckin' great man. This is history in the making. I know how that sounds but it's true. These 2 bands are connected cause Guns was heavily influenced by AC/DC and Axl, Izzy, and Slash are fans. Let's face it, Bon Scott might have been the best hard rock singer ever, (unless you prefer Robert Plant but that's silly) but I feel Axl is comparable to Brian and to be brutally honest the fact he couldn't do it just allowed something much more exciting to happen, at least for some Gn'R fans and some AC/DC fans.

Philipm787 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 That's the Axl Rose we know and love. Talk about redemption? He and Angus just works. I'm totally over the moon, in shock, excited, the lot. Fuck me. Yes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly respectful on their part. So what? Axl does a great show and the singer for the past 36 year is forgotten?? It's still an AC/DC concert and some are still sad that they didn't get to see Brian. Again, just imagine the tables were turned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slashmatt98 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Axl in ACDC is definitely going to cement him as the best rock singer to ever live. He was already in that argument with GNR. But with how amazing he was on the ACDC material.. No doubt that he won't be considered the best EVER now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Myles sounds better than him, I say it. I don't have any problem with that. Sweet Child is a good example where Myles does a much better job than Axl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be cool if Axl said at each show that they're dedicating it to Brian, Malcolm, and Bon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoop Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Great show. Axl absolutely killed on all the hardest stuff. Hells Bells, Given The Dog a Bone, Thunderstuck were all amazing. A few of the Bon things were a little lacking, but others were great. Overall an outsanding performance. Angus is a one-of-a-kind rock god and a treasure. We are lucky to still have him here, and luckier still that he's as awesome as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they were shouting throughout the show disrupting the show. I can understand some of the long time Brian era fans being upset at Axl stealing the show. It's not like large sections of the crowd didn't welcome Axl - they were chanting Axl! Axl! in the beginning. If Axl continues to do a good job, there's be more acceptance and fewer frayed tempers for future shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bodi Posted May 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2016 Saw them in the first vegas gig. Never prouder to be a Guns fan. Very impressed with Axl tonight, amazing rasp pretty much throughout...very impressive to sing like that for a whole show. And it seems he's been doing this for weeks in rehearsals and his voice is holding up. Hopefully he doesn't get carried away and blow it out haha. Something tells me he's got it under control though. He's gonna win over a lot of haters I think. Never been prouder to be an Axl fan. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
