Colossus of Rhodes Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 that's pretty amazing actually, can't wait to hear it. they are destined to create controversy with their lead singers. all 3 are excellent but different, neither one imitates previous one, while all compatible. I think Axl's style and tempo will suite them phenomenally. here is one Dutch soundboard recording, notice slightly slower tempo and change in the pacing increases the impact (instead of just rushing which they tended to do in later years, pre-Axl): effortless Bon, and even here Angus was noodling unnecessarily.. ff into the future -> 2019: modern day/mature Axl, modern day equipment, no strain of live act/touring, first proper studio recording since the 90s with actual band behind him - it's gonna be fn epic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Georgina Arriaga Posted June 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2018 https://www.iheart.com/content/2018-06-08-axl-rose-fired-up-acdc-says-drummer-chris-slade/ Quote Axl Rose "Fired Up" AC/DC, Says Drummer Chris Slade By Andrew Magnotta June 8, 2018 25 Chris Slade Says Axl Rose "Fired Up" AC/DC AC/DC drummer Chris Slade says what happens next with the band is out of his control, but he'd be more than happy to see it continue with Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose. Slade told Chris Jericho on the Talk Is Jericho podcast that, just like many fans, he had his doubts when he heard Rose was going to audition to fill in for Brian Johnson on the band's Rock or Bust World Tour. Slade said that the infamous rock 'n' roller Rose couldn't have been more professional or pleasant during the tour. As a life-long AC/DC fan and "revelation" of a vocalist, Rose urged the band to reach deeper into its catalog. His enthusiasm rubbed off on guitarist Angus Young and the rest of the band, Slade said. "It fired up Angus also, especially in rehearsal," he said. "[Angus] was running around the room playing with enthusiasm. Not that he isn't enthusiastic [normally]...you know...Stand up and play. But this was like, 'Wow, this is great!' Fired up beyond [normal]." After Johnson left AC/DC due to health issues, Slade recalled several days of auditions the band held in Atlanta, Georgia, culminating in Rose's super secret session with the group. "We shook hands and I thought, 'Huh? This guys seems okay,'" Slade said. "'Cause I'd heard all the stories." But when Rose began to sing, Slade's concerns morphed into amazement. "I never knew he had that voice," Slade said. "I only knew the Guns N' Roses stuff of course — what else would I know? ...What Axl can do is staggering. Staggering. What a singer! So I thought, 'Well, this is the right guy for the gig.'" After getting to know Rose, and performing with him for the better part of a year, Slade says he "couldn't think of anybody else" fronting the group at this point. Since Malcolm Young's death last fall, several people close to AC/DC have claimed that Angus plans to continue the band, including to write and record a new album with Rose on vocals. Slade says he's not one of the people in the know. "Even if I knew, I couldn't tell you. But I don't know (laughs)!" The drummer said he completely understands backlash against the band for continuing without Johnson, Malcolm Young and following the retirement of bassist Cliff Williams. But as a long-time employee, Slade has a different perspective. "As long as [Angus] is up front, it'll be AC/DC. To me, that's the most simplistic way of doing it." If he gets called to do a new record or a new tour, Slade says he'll be ready. "There's nothing as constant as change," he added. "And you try to accept things as they come. Angus knows what's going to happen, and he's the only person, to my knowledge, who knows this stuff." Slade's first stint with AC/DC was from 1989 and 1994. He performed on the band's classic The Razors Edge album. Slade returned to the band in 2015 after legal issues prevented drummer Phil Rudd from traveling. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jw224 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I feel this album is probably the only chance we will get to hear great Axl vocals again. I don't see a GNR album happening and he isn't bringing it live unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I did hear that Brian could record but not play any concerts, so why not do a new record with Brian? It would be cool to hear Axl sing on a AC/DC album, and I would definitely see them tour. Maybe in the near future, some doctor can help Brian with his hearing problems. New things are developed everyday. I hope for his sake he can hear well again. It has to be very hard to stop doing something you've done all your life. He was an amazing frontman for AC/DC. Guess we'll find out soon enough. I would hope Angus would update the status of his band and who will sing for them on a new cd and touring.

AC/DC has a strict rule: if you can't give 110% then you can't be in the band. AC/DC does not like using session musicians/tour members and try to avoid it as much as possible. If Brian can't preform live, he won't preform on an album. At least not as lead vocalist. The only way I can see Brian being involved in some way is as a guest on a song or doing backing vocals.

shocker Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 This album will be very different from anything we heard from AC∕DC. Axl`s influence will be very significant. And of course Brian won`t be back. He`s over 70 and said himself that he is finished with AC∕DC. Even if he could sing in the studio he is anubale to do a major tour.

Vancouver, Mike Fraser, the usual. Yeah i agree with this. The worst case scenario is a guns album in 2021 as acdc will tour for 2 years with this release. Then again im wondering why slash didnt hold off with the new conspirators album for a 2019 release and full 18 month tour if axl was going to be commited with acdc early next year or two?.

Underhardy Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Brian looked and sounded like he was having a stroke on stage during most performances in recent years... angus has wanted him out, and now he is and he sure as hell ain’t coming back.

Sosso Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I'm more curious about the new bass player than about Axl's voice to be honest, as it will be very tough to replace someone like Cliff Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it will be Chris Slade. He's a loyal drummer that doesn't have all the baggage Phil Rudd has. He's still capable of drumming in studio and on live tours despite being 70 years old. And he is owed a second studio album after being screwed over during the Ballbreaker sessions. It would just look bad on Angus's part if Chris was let go for a second time for no real reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Remember that Chris is over 70 and many were not impressed by his drumming on the Rock or Bust Tour. And his contract was also limited to complete the tour. In his recent interviews he didn`t even mention if he was still in contact with Angus or Stevie. It`s not like they have to choose Chris or Phil. More likely it will be a new drummer. But time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no reason to replace him at the moment. 2 hours ago, Sosso said: They could also hire Simon Wright, who is even younger than Angus. Maybe once Chris Slade does retire. Which could be five or so years down the road. But even then Simon Wright has gone on to become a heavy metal drummer. He would get bored playing AC/DC. He left initially for that reason. He was bored waiting around to do something and the band took too long for his liking to complete The Razors Edge demos. Which no AC/DC drummer plays on demos. Angus does.

James Bond Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 People already doubted Slade because of his age before the last tour. Some fans will never be happy with him because he’s not Phil but that complaint would still linger with any drummer who isn’t Phil. Some just don’t dig the extra fills and pushed tempos. I personally love Slade’s style and found nothing wrong with his drumming on the tour. Impressive stamina for a guy his age. And he doesn’t stop. He’s still out touring with his Timeline band as we speak. Charlie Watts is older and still doing it so why can’t Slade? The guy lives for the road. As long as he is physically capable I don’t see why he won’t get the call first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
