Even if they accept Angus' decision to continue it doesn't mean they have to like or agree with it. They can still have a different opinion. Don't get me wrong - there are those who endlessly whine about what Angus does or doesn't do, but there can also exist a fine line where people just respectfully disagree with his decision. If they've spent 40+ years supporting Angus and co. I don't think it makes them any less of a fan. But yeah, some need to accept that Angus is continuing whether they like it or not. The lack of acceptance on the AC/DC forum is kind of hilarious. It's worse than it gets over here. You can hate a musicians decision and still acknowledge that they are staying true to what they want, that to me is something a real fan would do. I'd like to join up in that forum and kick some dust up! Which forum is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This band had a lot of drastic line-up changes in the past and they survived everyone of them. That's why I'm positive about the future of AC/DC.

Yeah, but the fan base will fracture, they will get some new Guns followers that's for sure. But there's a portion of fans that definitely won't humor anything Axl related. 51 minutes ago, Georgina Arriaga said: They are very opinionated and the wound is still fresh and open.....

sabian11 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm telling you if Axl does this he will look like a fool who only wants to front "Hack" bands with one original member. He did it with Guns but totally redeemed himself. If he stalls all this momentum that the GNR train has rolling he will be the biggest ass in rock. I'm really not trying to be negative I love Axl and I'm ecstatic Slash and Duff are back in the fold. The GNR train is full steam ahead. AC/DC is done leave it be please.

I know the vocals will be killer, and of course they will be raw, Angus isn't going to have multi tracked vocals. They only thing left up in the air to see is if Axl will have a hand with the lyrics and song writing. With Malcom gone I'm sure Axl will.

GNRfanMILO Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 With that thinking, everyone that doesn’t support AXL/DC doesn’t want Axl to succeed. You prefer half-assed performances with GN’R to legendary, 2010 rasp level, performances with AC/DC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen guns in 88 and twice on the NITLT and I think they were awesome every time. I feel for Axl he's aged as we all do and his voice has changed so don't judge him on rasp he's giving it his all. I'm just saying after jerking the GNR fans all these years with hopes of new music and then playing with the likes of DJ and Bumble (Just being honest that Wasn't GNR). Why in God's name After making the GNR name shine again would you do new AXL/DC music instead. And your correct I want Axl to succeed with GNR but he deserves to fail if he goes with Axl/Dc. But if that's what people want enjoy your cotton candy at the county fair they'll be playing Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted February 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Having seen the NITL tour 5 times, and seeing his performances deteriorate over the tour, I'm really hoping Axl's next project is AC/DC. Ideally, he and Angus are working on music from now until the Guns Euro tour, which Axl would start with AC/DC-level vocal prep (meaning he sounds as good as the NA '16 leg), and soon after that's done there's an Axl/DC album and tour. It's sad to say, but he was either really coasting through the last year of the GNR tour, giving as much of a fuck as he did in 2012, or his voice is legitimately fucked. And since he still pulled out some good performances near the end of the tour, I'd wager he was coasting. AC/DC gets him energized and gives him something to prove. GNR, with or without Slash, is just his job. I'm a huge GNR fan, and if Axl operated like a normal musician this wouldn't be an issue, but realistically, I don't expect more than 1 album from Axl over the next 5 years, and if it's a 'pick one over the other' kinda thing, then I'll take Axl/DC because it'll just be old school rock, with vocals more like Angel Down than Chinese Democracy, whereas I assume the next GNR album will be CD II featuring Slash and Duff.

Better how? The lyrics are fine when you're young and daft and don't have much to think about. Axl's 57 and has already wasted his prime years and late years releasing only 1 album. I'd rather he saved his voice to record and promote music with more depth.

Atleast he's pushing himself creatively in the former scenario as opposed to the latter which he did perfectly 30 years ago w/ AFD. Look, as a singer/frontman - Axl's got a good 5 years left, if that. Do you want to see him divide his energy and give priority to AC/DC over Guns...or do you want him all-in on GnR? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is you shouldn't be so dismissive of 'mindless cock rock', it's given us some of the most legendary, amazing albums ever recorded.

liers Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Idc what Axl does as long as we get new music with his vocals. ACDC is arguably one of the most popular rock band ever... GnR is also up there. This AC/DC thing has the potential to make Axl more than the founder of GnR, it could give him a legacy as a singer for two huge bands. Not to mention as much as people might be against new AC/DC material with Axl on it, curiosity is going to win out and people are going to want to listen. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcountry Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 GNR always will be my favorite band hands down no contest. But I sure hope this happens!!!! Axl vocally can't handle the GNR catalog live, Not knocking the guy just being realistic age catches up with the best of them. But with Ac/DC he sounds amazing night after night. Yeah everyone has an off night but he held up really good most every night. Vocally the AC/DC songs don't require the range or all those crazy screeches and sounds he makes when he sings we all know and love from GNR. With AC/DC Axl looked the happiest I have seen him since around 2006/07 tour. Even then he was still hit and miss on his mood but that's Axl. Also if he joins AC/DC he won't call the shots Angus will and in a weird way I think that what he wants now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Maybe Axl also has lot`s of songs in his arsenal that fits better with AC∕DC than Guns`n`Roses. I think Axl will contribute if he`s gonna record with Angus. The majority of the music will be written by Angus but Axl will do most of the lyrics, I reckon.
