Powerage5 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I only make this thread half-jokingly. But does anyone think it would be cool for Axl to switch up his hat wardrobe for AC/DC and start wearing flat caps instead of fedoras? It would be a cool little nod to Brian, plus the fedoras don't really fit AC/DC's image as a no-BS, working man's band IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansidhe Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 If he wanted to wind up the DC faithful even more then yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Archer Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I think he would look just great if he let his hair loose. Like Bon. But his fedora gives him a visually distinctive look (and marks him out for not being a Bon/Brian clone). My favorite moment was when he took it off for a bit and revealed the bandana underneath. I was really happy seeing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRfan2008 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 That would be just as bad as DJ Ashba wearing the top hat with GN'R. I'm with Archer: get rid of the hat period. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner14 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Anything but those fedoras. Instead just wear a bandana and a baseball cap backwards like in the old days or get a better haircut. It's not necessary he have long hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Definitely not. His whole deal is that he's helping out, not replacing Brian. Him wearing flat caps would be like Paul Rodgers or Adam Lambert wearing the Freddie yellow jacket. It just doesn't feel right. Fill in, make the music your own, but don't try to box the old guy out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaka Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 My opinion is: no hats at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexAxl Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Is he fucking balding or what he wears that shit off stage too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by comments from the band and Axl himself, that doesn't necessarily seem to be the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Okay, I guess this thread backfired on me Im not suggesting he become a Brian clone or anything - I just thought the hat would be a nice little nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 No more hats and bandanas imo The coolest he looked in decades imo was when he first came out in the first Vegas show. Just hair down, sunglasses, and a leather jacket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Yes because he can buy them from the company I work for, we have a great selection and I'm willing to put myself out by flying over in person and helping him choose. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hair is fine, he performed withou anything on his head earlier this year. The thing is, he actually likes the hats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 If he got a SnapBack he'd look great. He put one on backwards at a show in 2010 or 2011 and looked great. It was just a hat an audience member threw at him though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not though. Remember how GN'R fans felt when Ashba showed up with the top hat? It's the same situation. Brian's flat cap is an AC/DC icon just like Slash's top hat is a GN'R icon. Only Brian should be allowed to wear the flat cap while singing with the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Broue Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) he shouldn't wear any hats, that's the only laughable stage outfit that he still wears, it's almost as worse as his mustache was, thank god, he shaved it off Bandanas are OK,though but at the end of the day he wears what he wants, i don't care too much because my oonly concern is his voice Edited May 8, 2016 by Strange Broue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuridols Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm afraid that flat cap would make him look like an Italian grandpa umm I've started to hate the Fedoras, I don't know why he's so attached to them. Yesterday, he added some weird tail or feather or lace to it? It was awful, looked like an old lady hat.. The beanie or a normal cap would do right or loose hair too, like he did in Vegas. Actually he needs a good haircut. I wonder what he would look like if he shaved half his head and keep it long on the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nn18 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 NO HATS! Bandanas are ok, and beanies are ok, but those hats he wears are not And I'm not sure snapbacks or baseball hats are good idea either, they would look a little silly on a 54 year old man. Some people can pull it off, but I'm not sure Axl could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoyd androyd Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 the fedoras look so ridiculously bad you just have to wonder why someone hasn't slapped some sense into him yet. that said, switching to a derby hat for AC/DC would be too forced. he desperately needs to stop wearing the sunglasses, thick leather jackets, and the two huge diamond crosses. mixing yosemite sam with rapper bling is truly cringeworthy stuff.
