  1. If GNR ever tours again and Steven is not available I wouldn't mind having this guy on drums. I doubt he's gonna do it for a tip though, this is world class drumming right there. Steven remains first choice though, no one plays GNR drums like him. Nothing against Frank, but I always felt he'd be a better fit (and more appreciated) in another band.
  2. As a European, I used to look up to America. Not anymore. You don't have to hate one thing to love another, but it's all just mere divide and conquer - and you embrace that with a passion without even thinking. Just look at this discussion here, it's a perfect example of that. Your votes don't mean shit as your POTUS is selected by the MIC, you are just cattle and cannon fodder to them. It's gonna be Michelle or Kamala next time. It's all they will offer you. And you gonna be good sheep and select whoever looks nicer on TV or caters most to your own bubble - only to end up with the same shit, just worse. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." You're all getting fooled, over and over again. Take a look around, read up on history and make up your mind. That being said, it's not any better in Europe.

  4. Pre-sale started 90 minutes ago as I'm typing this. They are already selling tickets for previously unannounced additional concerts in Hannover and Dresden, one hour after pre-sale began. And even those are almost sold out already.
  5. Tried to get one ticket for a friend. That pre-sale is absolutely laughable, iinsane, sad, twisted and just outright mean and evil. Eventim should be forever banned from selling tickets to such concerts.
  6. Brian is 76 years old. I cut him all the slack in the world showing up putting his heart into it and he always does. I think the best approach is like you said to treat it like a sendoff or celebration more than expecting a technically perfect performance. Power Trip was the first AC/DC show for Brian after a while and those hearing issues would pull the rug under any musicians carpet for a bit. I'm sure he'll be alright on this tour once the venues will be bursting with energy from the audiences. As for residencies I'm glad they do not do that and instead give fans around the world a chance to say goodbye and see them one last time. Even though I have decided to not go because of the lineup changes, I hope the tour is gonna be great for the band and the fans.
  7. How do you feel? I hope everyone is doing alright. If you read this, I wish you health, love, luck, prosperity, hope, faith, time and happiness.
  8. Don't know all of his work, but the Purple Rain album has a special place in my heart for many reasons. Amazing musician, still underrated and underappreciated, I miss him. Favourite songs? "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore?", "The Morning Papers", "Nothing Compares To You" and "Purple Rain".
  9. Lots of potential for interesting covers for sure. I always thought "Take The Long Way Home" by Supertramp would be a good cover choice.
  10. Bands going this long naturally will have different incarnations in order to keep going this long and each of that incarnation will be loved by some fans, despised by others and accepted by the masses as long as popularity is established the label is right. That being said, for me there's just enough AC/DC left in this lineup. The rhythm section is crucial to that AC/DC sound and having some "pros" fill in doesn't work for me. When they got Axl to fill in for Brian at least they got a real rock star. And when Axl got Buckethead and Ron at least he got us some real virtuosos. Those replacements in AC/DC might be fine musicians, but given the cultural impact and heritage of AC/DC among entire generations they are not enough. Cash grab? More like age and inability to let go, both on their side and the fans. I saw them with Malcolm, Cliff and Phil and to this day it remains one of the most cherished concerts of my life. I'd be an idiot to let the upcoming tour put a shadow on that memory. If Cliff and Phil would be on board, I would have attended at least one show to celebrate them and part of my own life. But with those guys? At this point? For those ticket prices? In those venues? In these times? No fucking way. Time to let go. And I say this with a heavy heart. I fucking love AC/DC.
  11. I don't mean to be disrespectful but outside the US no one really gives a shit about the Superbowl. The halftime is a freak show peak of decadence and self indulgence. No one in his right mind takes that shit seriously. It's like a caricature of the roman empire.
  12. Thanks, I didn't catch the confirmation of the lineup yet. You are right about the venues, it's summer - I just don't like any of those venues. They should have booked Goffertpark in Nijmegen instead of JC arena in Amsterdam but that's just me being picky looking at ticket prices these days I want the best and not a compromise. The lineup is the biggest reason for me to not go. Can't raise Malcolm from the dead but the rhythm section is what I love most about AC/DC and with Matt and Chris it's just too little AC/DC for me. I understand most people just want Angus, but for me it was all about their rhythm section (best in rock ever imo) and that is gone now. Hope everyone is having fun though. Last time I saw them was the Back In Black lineup with Malcolm and Phil so I'm kinda spoiled and rather let that be my last AC/DC concert.
  13. Dates are coming a little too late. Venues suck. Stadiums and fields only. Most EU shows in Germany. Only one show in the Netherlands. Lineup still uncertain, likely no Phil and no Cliff, just Angus and Brian plus replacements. Ticket prices likely an arm and a leg if you actually want to see them with your own eyes and not just on a screen. Hope it's gonna be great last tour and everyone's having fun but I'll pass.
  14. Duff filling in might increase chances of Axl joining Brian for a song or two at a show. However, I'd rather hear Cliff playing bass in AC/DC.
