Słash Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Did they have seats for the US shows before also? I thought the whole thing used to be a pit before in the US shows too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBucky Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Did they have any merch with Axl on it or just AC/DC logos and Angus on everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they've done anything for Axl yet. it would be smart to, just something subtle like putting a Rose in a bell or just using the imagery of a rose in anyway would be a cool nod to Axl.

The thing is pretty much all the designs are carried over from last year's leg. Even the event shirts are really just thrown together in Photoshop. It doesn't really make sense to completely redo the merch for just a handful of dates. Besides, Angus has always been the band's image, why fix what isn't broken? Not to mention a lot of people may find that tasteless given the nature of Brian's departure and Axl's place in the band. If there is another tour though, a tour shirt with a band photo or something would be nice though, I know they had a full band photo shirt on the Black Ice tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is keen to stress the continuity of the Rock or Bust tour plus, is not going to profit from those bootleg Axl/DC t-shirts everybody was wearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoop Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 No I'm sure he wasn't happy about that at all. Notice how they are so active on social media for the first time ever but you didn't see any of those memes on their twitter. None of the bandana on the AC/DC logo etc. None of that stuff at all.

They've been fairly active on social media since the recording of Rock Or Bust actually. Maybe it's been a bit more since Axl joined but that's easily explained by the fact that they now need to actually work to sell tickets since a lot of people lost interest when Brian left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a limited edition one off shirt would be awesome. Just a nod to Axl for saving their final 23 shows. It sounded like he saved them a ton of legal issues.

They were never more 'aggressive, younger, hotter and fresh' when they had Bon at the helm circa 1974-79. I'll put this down to over enthusiasm and/or alcohol. but dont forget that the truth is the truth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the promoters have researched this and come to the conclusion that arena shows would be a better draw. The dates were scheduled for arena before Brian left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And somehow he sounds better in the latter. What the fuck. Just watched a handful of videos.. Axl sounds fucking amazing.. Even on some of the songs he didn't sound so hot on during their last set of shows.. Wow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the promoters have researched this and come to the conclusion that arena shows would be a better draw. The dates were scheduled for arena before Brian left They're big enough to do a stadium tour over here (At least with Brian) - last year was about 18 stadium shows, all stadiums and all nearly sold out or sold out. This was the second leg of the tour, primarily hitting secondary markets, and hitting a few major markets again (NY, Chicago, Detroit). They can do a stadium tour in the US, but not in a lot of these secondary markets, not to mention some of them don't even have stadiums. Additionally, it was originally a winter tour - February/March, which limited them to arenas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
