I haven't seen that guy motivated in decades. This thing may pump him up to release new music, write new stuff, he needs new experiences to get inspiration from instead of staying in Malibu taking care of cats.

The GN'R camp got in contact with him (Jason) to have a meeting of sorts, as he couldn't reveal all of the information he is sitting on. He also got information on the tour start for GN'R (dates). That was the main concern of the GN'R PR person in contact with Jason, he couldn't share that. Today's podcast, fast forward to about 53-54 minutes.http://baileyandsouthside.com This is worth listening to right from the very start. Jason Bailey has been contacted by a woman in GN'R's camp, more than likely Beta? He also says he has further info that he can't disclose today! Wow..

killuridols Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 yeah, he said PR woman but I don't know if it's Beta or someone else.. Maybe Vanessa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It would be cool. A bit like when Halford sang for Sabbath? Who else reslly has the star power to not short change DC fans, other than Jizzy Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If (and that's a big if) this actually happens... What are the chances we hear new AC/DC music with Axl on vocals before new GNR music? It'd cool as shit I must admit (Axl doing the ten shows that is), but I really don't see Angus going for Axl - let alone the GNR commitments. It's possible for them to work around it, especially if Axl is really motivated (we know he loves his AC/DC), but I don't see it actually happening.

gunsfanoldie Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Wait, so is this AC/DC thing really being given weight? So far that literally seems like the dumbest theory to come out of the last 5 months. Did I miss something where it sounded like anything other than a joke? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked what the problems could be...I cited one specific issue.

James Bond Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) If the gigs were before the GNR shows I'd say dumb move because he needs to save his voice as much as he can, but if they're rescheduled for after the GNR stuff then I think it'd be pretty cool.

Ok, then following your flawed logic he shouldn't even be thinking of playing the 6 already sold-out shows he's gonna do in April. Pffff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duwz Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If this ACDC thing is true, we can expect a shit ton of rasp. They wouldn't accept Mickey singing Johnson's thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Axl could become a very central figure in the music industry if he does the ACDC thing. I think Axl gets lost to history as a great vocalist and so if he comes out firing for the reunion and ACDC then he could regain the notoriety for being a great frontman. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold top 78 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The AC/DC story just isn't something I'm believing right now still seems far fetched. That said it could explain why GNR tour dates haven't came out. Maybe the dates were set then the AC/DC thing came along and now things have been rearranged.

Italian girl Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I can imagine that he is in a very gooood mood in this period if he really does the ac/dc thing, after reuniting with old gnr.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxySCFC Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I think this would be pretty cool if true. I would definitely go to one of those gigs if I had the chance. Anything that gets Axl excited music wise can only be a good thing for the fans. Also after the last however many years of pushing his Chinese democracy version of guns I bet it would be good for him to do something for the sheer fun of it.

Subtle Signs Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I haven't gone to see AC/DC since the Ball breaker tour 20 years ago. I would definitely go if Axl was singing! Instead of calling the Whiskey @gunsguy should call Jason Bailey and pump him for information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emybdc Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 What I understand is ACDC is managed by Mensch and they don't live or have offices in Atlanta. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but who knows I heard they (AC/DC) were doing auditions for a new front man in Atlanta. A local guy (can't remember his name) is supposedly the front runner to take over the vocal duties. As they talked about on the radio show, they thought if Axl were to front AC/DC, it would be for the postponed shows only. Then a permanent replacement would take over.

It was also confirmed that the band was meeting this week to discuss the plan going forward. That much is all true on the AC/DC front. Whether Axl is involved or not is another story.

Stress Fracture Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I could see him guesting for a song or two and going down well but the idea of Axl singing something like Back in Black or Thunderstruck with his voice from recent tours is disturbing. He can just about get away with ruining his own songs but that's going too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
