alfierose Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 2 minutes ago, Spirit said: 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. I struggle to imagine Axl auditioning for something. A guest spot maybe but I don't see him fronting another band, he's got enough on his plate with GNR right now. We need him to stay focused.

I don't think Axl was part of the auditioning, that was for the eventual permanent position as a front man. Axl is supposedly filling in for the 10 postponed shows only, I don't think he auditioned or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIST Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 AC/DC don't fuck around with being late. Also Axl forgets his own lyrics, with teleprompters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have a really hard time believing that Axl Rose - who hasn't done anything other than GNR more or less ever - is going to suddenly front a different band in the midst of the regrouping tour. Unless Slash wants the time to record a Conspirators album and the band will be dormant anyway, I would expect GNR to be Axl's one and only musical priority. That said, anything can happen with this fucked up dumpster fire of a band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) A few different thoughts come to mind- *Has Angus said when the ACDC tour picks up again? *Angus is gonna want a FT guy right?...He'll want to continue ACDC? *If Axl subs for the final 10 shows of tour no way they gonna make that announcement til after the 6 Guns shows right? *That would mean no GnR tour til later in the year (looks that way anyways now) * What are the ACDC boards saying? *I hope Axl's focus is on Guns Edited March 22, 2016 by Original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas and all six shows are sold out, confirmed, out of discussion at this point. There are 365 days in the year and many years ahead for the holy reunion tour thing to go forward spotless, lol.

fanfzero Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 "Sheeeees got the jaaaaaiaiaiaiaiack... hey, take that, take that" (Angus goes near Axl and tells him that the guy is from their camera crew, then Axl starts a rant about the people who try to hold you back and abandons the stage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post emybdc Posted March 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2016 I hate the idea of Axl being in any band other than GnR. It might be just for 10 shows, but this reunions took 20+ years to happen, I wish he focuses on this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt Axl would commit to anything that gets in the way of GN'R. I trust that will be his main priority forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My jealousy in this case is caused by the reunion and the lack of information. This is a huge deal for GnR fans, and nobody is thinking about GnR member's side projects. If we knew about GnR tour dates and how this whole thing is gonna work out it'd be a whole other story. We haven't even seen them together yet, so to talk about other bands seems kinda out of focus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't even seen them together yet, so to talk about other bands seems kinda out of focus. I know it is a huge deal but there are six shows already scheduled and sold out. IT IS HAPPENING. First of all, the AC/DC thing is just a rumour for now but if it wasn't, how does it affect GN'R touring? They are not idiots, they've been in the business for decades, for sure they know how to not overlap dates and plan a tour. Slash and Duff both have their solo projects, jump from King of Chaos, to Hollywood Vampires, to a ton of other benefit concerts, shows and now with Guns N' Roses. They never fail showing up at the venues, they are never late. I don't get it why Axl is not allowed to do the same thing... If he was more proactive like that, he for sure would have improved his vocals a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
