Ak1nney Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Lol. Seriously people? Why would Axl front AC/DC when he is on the eve of his biggest tour ever? That would NEVER happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl would kick ass and yeah it would only be temporary but, idk. We'll see.. Yet another reason we're gonna need an interview soon.. Remember the That Metal Show and Kimmel interviews? I do think if Slash is going back to his solo tour Axl might as well go out with DC. It's well within his wheelhouse and he gets to help someone out. Plus the money must be great.

That only works if AC/DC isn't until 2017. Slash and the entire band has said NOTHING is happening this year. Myles is with Alter Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like his solo project. Who knows when the real tour will kick off or how much space there is between April and summer festivals in europe.

Isn't everything pointing to the US in the summer, not Europe? They missed all the big festivals, so I thought everyone was thinking festivals next summer in Europe for Guns.

But maybe some others didn't. Euro fest promoters don't seem as excited about the reunion maybe because they sell out with lesser bands or even nu Guns so why put 3 mil? Even a US tour might not start in May? But in the end if Slash goes back to solo then Axl might like to have some fun with ACDC, god knows he loves to cover them.

proud10 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Oh boy So so does this mean the band is rehearsing without Axl, but Fernando is still there? Edited March 23, 2016 by KiernanProud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 It actually makes perfect sense from AC/DC's perspective to get a big name to fill in, whether it's Axl or Steven Tyler or whoever. We're not talking a permanent replacement but someone to literally "guest" (to use their words) for 10 rescheduled shows. These shows were $140 per ticket. These tickets have already been sold. If they pick some nobody from a cover band then they either have to drop the ticket prices and offer partial refunds or expect that many people are going to return them by default. Remember - they're in the middle of what was the best selling tour of 2015. Keeping a big name around might be enough to generate some curiosity and keep butts in the seats. 4 hours ago, Padme said: You don't have a problem. But what about AC/DC fans? It's their band and their shows. Aside from HV here we don't. How do we know they will be happy to have Axl as lead singer? Besides this thing is too odd. This is not an all star band nor some benefit concert. Someone like Axl or Jagger for that matter are not guys who fit a replacement role for AC/DC or some other big band. I have a sneaking suspicion that Powerage5 is an AC/DC fan. I know a thing or two about them myself. It honestly doesn't matter who the singer is - AC/DC fans are harder to please than GNR fans. Brian could be replaced by a resurrected Bon Scott and fhere would still be bitching. I mean, there are still AC/DC diehards on their boards who think that Phil Rudd was more important than Bon Scott. Personally, I don't want Angus to continue with the AC/DC name if there's no Brian. However, I'm okay with them finishing the shows with a guest if that's what's in the contract - then it's time to hang up AC/DC and leave well enough alone. Do I genuinely believe that it's going to be Axl? No - I really do think the rumours spiralled after the "Axl in Atlanta" picture but all the same I'd be excited. It does not at all mean that GNR loses focus or priority - it's ten shows that could be done over a two week span in early 2017. Hardly a big commitment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it really means anything but I think Todd gave an interview and said that everything besides Slash and Myles parts would be recorded, and then they'd come in when they were available to finish any future record. So it wouldn't take priority over GNR or AB of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, that they are kind of sort of their boss and controlling a tour. Thats quite a shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Somewhere I read each faction has their own management and even Fortus/Frank have they own representation then there's some other people overseeing everything. But the Big 3 are calling the shots. It's business as usual again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 10 hours ago, James Bond said: 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. I'd say it's a great warm up actually! If he can sing on 11 every night... and that set is full on! then he'll be primed and ready for any GnR dates... just as long as he doesn't go too hard, and blow out his voice. If Axl has followed his usual tour regiment (from the past 10 years) he hasn't gone out of his way to prepare so, I'd look at the AC/DC shows as something - once in a lifetime, as well as training camp for Axl... there's no way he goes up on stage with AC/Dc and blows chunks because he hasn't prepared. Great motivator, if the Guns shows alone weren't pushing him. Let's wait and see if anything materialises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, Axl doesn't even bother to show up to do some rehearsal with his band for Vegas, Coachella, Mexico and the world tour. But he is gonna be doing rehearsal with Angus Young for those 10 shows? Imagine how Slash and Duff would feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archtop Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 How does anybody know that Axl has not been rehearsing, seeing a voice coach or not made any preparation for the upcoming dates? It's pure speculation that he will be covering for AC/DC, I think it's really unlikely to be true, but good on him if it's something he wants to do and can help the band cover outstanding dates. We seriously need some news, the rumour mill is going to go into overdrive in the next two weeks if we don't get something concrete soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philipm787 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I actually kinda believe the ACDC rumours. Axls been stuck in the confinements of GNR for 30 years, maybe he'd like to do something new/different. Remember when he jumped at the chance to do something with Bach? As long as it doesnt interfere with GNR and its inner workings, it could be really cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
