Axl owns dexter Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 5 minutes ago, Changes said: Ok so I took a look at Spotify after all this talk about this generating more attention than the reunion because AC/DC is a much bigger band than GNR. Top 5 AC/DC songs: 1. back in black 37M 5. TNT 14M. GNR: 1. SCOM 119M 5. KNOHD 50M GNR's fifth most popular song is vastly more popular than the most popular song of AC/DC so don't come here pretending like GNR don't hold a candle to AC/DC in terms of media attention Data! I think (real) GnR and AC/DC are close. Closer than some on here are claiming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 1 hour ago, GN'R Forever said: I say every Axl is besides mickey mouse Axl. Bon Scott is a different story but Axl's power and range far exceeds Brian Johnson's. Bon isn't really a different story though. There's a reason Brian never struggled on a Bon song and yet struggles on his own. The Brian of 1980-1983 had all the range and power you could ever want in a rock singer. BIB, FTATR, and FOTS are all testaments to that. He set the bar really high and nearly destroyed his voice forever as a result. Whose voice you prefer is obviously a matter of taste but if we're talking the sheer technicality of singing, I don't think Bon could have sang Hells Bells or Guns For Hire and matched Brian's notes and intensity. Axl probably has the wider overall range between the three, but I feel like Brian doesn't get enough credit sometimes. To use Hells Bells again - as it was recorded it is incredibly difficult to sing. Even Brian changed it live to make it a bit easier. What makes the early Brian stuff so hard is that it's always high and always intense and that lasts through entire songs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps- maybe you've already stated whether you would or not, I just haven't spotted it? I think it would be a cool thing to see but I don't know given the reunion that this is the time for it. I think a younger Axl could have pull off both without a hitch but I think 54 year old Axl should give 110% to Guns right now. As a fan of AC/DC I am not sure how I feel about it being that Angus would be the only original left on stage. Not that it hasn't been the case this whole tour but Brian Johnson has obviously been widely accepted for almost 40 years. All that said, if it happened I would tune in and pull for Axl.. It could be a pretty cool thing if he sounded good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to all intents and purposes that IF Axl is going to do stuff with ACDC then it's FILLING IN for Brian so that the band can honour their last few dates. In no way does that make him anything other than a helping hand. He's not "joining" AC-DC or anything like that, he's helping them finish their tour. Again - that is IF this is true. my thoughts exactly! and i's a big IF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfzero Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Brian Johnson had a very powerful "Donald Duck" voice back in 1991, it was like a mighty chainsaw (Check Thunderstruck) Anyway, it would be funny to see Angus with the uniform and Axl with the Chicago 92 "uniform skirt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone tailgating at the shows seems to love it and it isn't uncommon to see at an AC/DC show. Drunk chicks dig it especially. He always sends me pics from bars during pre-shows parties with chicks having a blast. Some people are just too cool I guess. He has a blast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) It bugs me when people look down their nose at AC/DC. Tight as fuck! Chuck berry on steroids. They're so fun.... even funner to play. And yet most AC/DC covers suck ass.... there's a reason. Not as easy as it sounds. I'm in my 20's and people at work treat me like I'm a baby boomer. Get over yourself!

I am just giving the perspective from a die hard AC/DC fan. I even tried to tell him it might be cool cause I know he likes the Old Guns version of Rosie.. And told him that NuGuns did some AC/DC tunes. Even rare ones like Riff Raff.. I really don't want Axl to do this but I also just told a guy at work that was slagging the idea that it could be cool for a short term thing.. But I am always cynical and seek negativity.. Do me a favor and please stop quoting me.. Ignore me or filter out my posts.. Whatever you gotta do so we don't have to interact anymore. Thanks!!! I understand why your buddy would be pissed.... how excited would you guys be to see Sebastian front the last 10 shows of a GNR tour... you certainly wouldn't want to pay what a gnr ticket would cost to see that.... Don't get me wrong. I think i think it would be cool if Axl could pull it off... but 2012-14 voice doing AC/DC that would be the end of Axl.... if he was spot on that would be great though. But no fucking way AC/DC fans would get behind it Edited March 25, 2016 by tkarmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) It's interesting how GnR fans are all happy and exited while ACDC fans are in chaos mode. Let's be honest though.... There's a number of fans here (myself included) who would support Axl no matter what he did. The guy could put out a hard core rap album with Ashanti and still have people on these forums supporting him.

colonizedmind Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Only in the world of GNR would we be on the eve of pretty much the most momentous reunion comeback ever and instead we're talking about our lead singer joining AC/DC! "Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond mine and the bands control, management have double booked me with AC/DC, this mediocrity has left me with no choice but to switch out all current staff and start a fresh, it takes time to replace people, so for now I'm cancelling all GNR dates" - What Axl said in my dream last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ACDC's fans biggest worry is if Axl will show up or rant. They know damn well he can play the material but are acting like he's the worst. Out of all the singers that cover ACDC Axl does it best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuridols Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 From what I've been reading the ACDC fans are scared of 1) Axl's voice 2) Axl not showing up 3) Axl arriving 3 hours late and 4) Axl starting a riot lol, they share our same worries 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
