I love Hells Bells with Axl more than anything else....he just puts it in a different dimension like the intensity, the fear, the evil is all present in Axl's voice. It's like an alternate reality and you know you F'd up 

It's all been amazing! I agree I have my favorites too.  To me Thunderstruck is mine.. It was a song I didn't really care for before and it gives me chills now when Axl sings it.  I listen to it and can't believe that is the voice of 54 year old Axl! He has transported me back in time when I needed it most.  A lot of challenges in life, but the music helps you to "whistle" through it.  This has been the first tour I have been able to follow so closely via the internet.  I am looking forward so much to all the great music this summer in the states with GNR and then AC/DC with Axl in September. I am 41 and feel like I did back in 91 when I got to see GNR twice on the Use Your Illusion tour.  As a fan who has been through it the good and the not so good, it doesn't get much better than this!

I think Back in Black is what Axl takes to another level. Hells Bells, STT, Given the dog a bone, Have a Drink on Me, - all great songs off the BIB album that they are playing now. But, this might be surprising - despite that riff, the song never did as much for me as some of the other songs. Even RNRANP is something that sat better with me. Maybe it's because it always sounded like a Rap song - Shake a leg is probably the only song on the BIB album that I liked less, while Hells Bells was always my favorite.. However, Axl singing BIB has just taken the song to another level for me. I'm tempted to say that it's his best Axl/DC song.

Maybe, I have to say, I'm not keen on BIB even when Axl sings it. I think its a bit boring, or maybe it's been overplayed. I feel the same about SCOM, even live, I always use it as a break time, that might change with Slash back though. IYWB is by far and away my favourite AXL/DC song, that's the one that's on a different lever for me, closely followed by SDIF.

A review from acdc-abruzzo, ac dc fan blog that has followed the tour:

Quote

AARHUS

We got to the Aarhus airport the day of the show, basically a few minutes before the band’s private jet arrived. We reached the stadium a 8.30pm and got inside at 9.10pm. The access to the stadium was a nightmare, probably the worst organization/venue of the entire tour (after Imola 2015). Once tickets were checked you would be stuck in line with drunk people to get inside the stadium through tiny gates. With the usual Scandinavian "landscape" of drunk people, street fights and people urinating and dropping beer everywhere.
The venue was pretty small but we liked it. It was a small stadium with a capacity of about 30,000 people. Nice and intimate. The FOS looked packed but in fact there were lots of people coming and going (to buy beers or to go to the toilet) so we were not too far from the stage.
The band played very well from Rock or Bust onwards. You could tell everybody was more inspired than usual. After the energetic performance of Manchester the band was showing they could do even better. The crowd was “sleepy” as expected from a Danish audience. During the intro video the silence in our section was surreal.
Shoot To Thrill and Hell a Bad Place To Be were played very well. Then Thunder and Dirty Deeds, Damnation and Thunderstruck. High Voltage, came out better than before but we still think it should be dropped from the setlist. Rock’n’Roll Train (or Party Train, as Axl likes to call it) sounded better than usual but should be dropped too. Hell’s Bells, Given the Dog a Bone (very powerful) and then If You Want Blood, the new pinnacle of the concert setlist.
And when Axl said they were playing a song for the second time ever, we understood it was “Touch Too Much!”, one of the songs we were waiting for (the other is Gimme a Bullet). After Prague they played it again, and this time, much better than the first time (confirmed by both Spurky and Orangus). What a gift for hard core fans like us| Impossible to describe our feelings while being there.
Then TNT, Whole Lotta Rosie, and a fantastic version of Let There Be Rock with Angus ON FIRE! For the anchors we got to hear again a killer version of Riff Raff.
Aarhus was probably the best performance of the band in Europe 2016. We have felt the crescendo in the last few concerts after London and Manchester.

AXL ROSE

Probably this was Axl’s best gig with AC/DC. Axl has been doing a great job, no doubt about it. His voice is still excellent and he is getting more and more into the character of the AC/DC front singer. Thank God the chair is gone, and soon the cast will be gone too. In Aarhus he danced and walked for the whole concert. He spoke a lot to the crowd in between the songs. To tell the truth we also got to witness a couple of typical “Axl moments” such as when something was thrown on stage before High Voltage and Axl said “Let’s not get fucking stupid here”. Well, we felt the tension there but in the end he didn’t react too much. At the end of the song there was also some remarks regarding the security because, apparently, if we got it right, took away something without his permission (Orangus says he was referring to his sunglasses which were stolen “as a souvenir”).
Anyway, despite these moments of tension, Axl always seemed to be very committed and focused. He kept making witty remarks and comments, from his “ex wife” (before YSMANL) and to his “future ex-wife” (Shot Down In Flame)...
See you in Dusseldorf for the Grand Finale of the European Rock or Bust Tour.

i have to put in: high voltage and hell aint a bad place to be ...

YES! I totally agree. even tho every time I hear Axl do a Bon song I have  go and watch the Bon version to compare. Bon always wins but Axl does great justice to his songs. for me the thing that has most changed for me is my renewal of love for Bon Scott. he was an amazing singer and an amazing front man and I completely see where Axl gets a lot of his inspiration from! I love Bon and I love Axl :wub:

A few facts about the concert in Denmark:
- At one time, there was thrown beer on stage, Axl said something like "Do not do anything stupid", but continued without further comments :o
- Axl lost his sunglasses on stage, after which a guard gave them to one in the audience, Axl commented from the stage and thanked the guard that gave his glasses away "That's a nice little souvenir for you" or something like that, he didn't seem amused, but didn't asked them back either :o
- Axl blew his nose a lot:huh:
- Axl did not wear his cast at the encore:headbang:
- Axl danced a lot :takethat:

- I still love him :wub:

holy shit, your life keeps getting better!!!

You must have done everything right or you're lucky as hell! :lol:

And you seem to have a photographer go with you, because you've been captured in all these pictures with Axl and doesnt look like you had to worry about selfies or anything!
