Seb91 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Personally, I'd love it if Angus and Axl continued to work together; the AXL/DC I saw in Stratford was hands down the best rock show I've ever seen. That being said, I'd rather they did it under a new name but I could see Angus continuing to use the AC/DC brand and getting away with it. Sadly, I doubt many people know who is/was in the band other than Angus, Malcom, Brian and Bon and to be honest nobody I was around at the Stratford show seemed hugely bothered by the absence of Phil or Malcolm and most were floored by Axl. Thin Lizzy, GN'R, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Smashing Pumpkins and others have done at some point or still are doing the rounds successfully with one member of the classic lineup. I think ultimately the bottom line is that people want to hear the songs live and one classic member is better than no classic members. Plus, I do wonder how many people who go to shows actually know who's in a band or whether they just see the name, book the ticket and so long as they hear the hits they're happy. I'm not saying it's right but I fear that's just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans started speculating he'd be back after those new in-ear devices are ready to be used, but it's only that - speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickingthehabit Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think almost anybody would still pay to see Axl and Angus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 If Angus simply must roll on with his facsimile of AC/DC, then I hope he brings on Michael Anthony as bassist. AC/DC has a very simple bass, well in line with what Mikey does, and he is used to being in the shadow of rock icons rather than being the big rock star himself. That's a good thing. I think he would fit the part well, and he does great backing vocals. And I gotta admit it would be sweet to have a hybrid of my three favorite bands, AC/DC, Guns n' Roses, and Van Halen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 This is basically their farewell tour, if not then in 2 years it will be their farewell tour and its over for AC/DC. If they want to continue they will do something within 2 years cause this time they won't wait for another 5 to 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1989 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 When You replace Mal, Phil and Brain. Cliff is the least of Angus's worries. Easiest member to replace without effecting the sound at all. The biggest change has already been made by loosing Mal and Phil. Angus will go on like he always has done. Angus would have known the Cliff score before this whole Axl thing in anyways. Since then he has said he hopes for a new ACDC album and has said Axl would like to do more. Angus will never drop the name ACDC that is what him and Mal have worked their whole life for. Did you guys see how good AXL/DC sound man. It might not be classic acdc but its awesome ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I would just end it really. They have had a superb innings, AC/DC, and if continuing, they would just be 'one guy' à la Nugnr and we all know that through such an incarnation an act struggles for legitimacy and consequentially takes a collosal nosedive in respect and commercial viability. DC should put out a DVD/live album of the Axl tour as a commemorative send off and then end it in a dignified manner. Angus can then do some little blues solo projects.

MisterNo Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Angus should really call it off after the rest of the tour. They had a great run. Although, possibility of Duxl/DC... Edited August 6, 2016 by MisterNo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Beast Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 It's the right decision,the band is done,it's the end of the road.May they had already retired if this tour wasn't in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I do not believe anyone is under the mistaken belief that their opinion on a Guns N' Roses internet forum will subordinate Angus's opinion in somehow dictating the proceedings of AC/DC. however this is a discussion board and we are all just wasting time throwing out opinions. If I had to guess, Angus will continue but I believe that will be the wrong course to take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl went on, almost everyone ( AC/DC fans, GN'R fans, music fans in general ) LOVED IT! so maybe, just maybe, let the man....THE LEGEND, a very intelligent man, gifted musician and savvy businessman with many other savvy businessmen giving him good advice, do what he decides!

Academic point as he will or will anyway regardless of what people on the internet think.
