I think for watching a full show, the werchter gig is much more, since Axl was great throughout the performance.

I've read somewhere that Axl blew his voice slightly during Hell's Bells at the Prague show. Or maybe he had a cold or both. Fact is that he wasn't as good as at other gigs. I hope it's good now again? Haven't heard anything of the latest two gigs.

by **Soulmonster** Tue May 31, 2016 2:34 pm

He is getting better again but his voice cracks in the high register now and then. But seems like whatever has been troubling him (a cold?) is gradually disappearing.

Both Slash and Duff is in London. Are they going to play with AXL/DC tomorrow? Speechless

They didn't. But this guy played a lot of air guitar.

Interesting part from the latest Tommy interview:

So with AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams planning to retire after the group's current Rock or Bust Tour, maybe Rose and Stinson could work together again, if the singer continues with that band too.  "How f---in' fun would that be?!" Stinson says with a laugh. "I can't even imagine that. That would be pretty f---in' funny if he called me up and asked me to check it out. It'd be funny as sh-- to go out and tour wtih Axl without all the baggage that was part of Guns N' Roses, y'know?" 

That would be hilarious Very Happy

That's great!

How has the review for these AC/DC shows been? Has Axl been as good as he was back in Europe? I haven't been paying attention lately.

Neither have I. Only watched a few videos (some linked above), which suggest it was similar as it was in Europe.

by **Soulmonster** Thu Sep 22, 2016 2:59 pm

Again, really cool of Axl to be able to fix a bit on his reputation at this stage.

by **Uli** Fri Feb 09, 2018 8:01 pm

Well, the latest rumour says there might be a new AC/DC album with Axl singing...

https://tinyurl.com/y8m5bzcb

The last time we got an AC/DC album was in 2014 with Rock Or Bust. Brian Johnson was still the vocalist, Phil Rudd was still the drummer, and it was the band's first album without rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, who passed away last year. The band has since recruited Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose for a numerous amount of live shows after the departure of Johnson in 2016, and re-recruited drummer Chris Slade, who originally played with the band between 1989 and 1994. The band has enlisted Malcolm Young's nephew Stephen Young, though he's been in the band since 2014.

Now with the lineup of Rose, Young, Slade, and ever-present guitarist Angus Young, AC/DC is rumored to be working on a new album by way of Australian journalist, music critic, and author Murray Engleheart, who wrote 2006's AC/DC Maximum Rock and Roll: The Ultimate Story of the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band. According to Engleheart's social media via Alt Press, AC/DC "will continue with Axl on vocals – new album, touring, the whole nine yards."

Kinda ironic if Axl releases music with AC/DC when he supposedly has music more or less ready for GN'R that he won't release.
