Didn't see that coming, the dude from Jackyl would be so much better..

Have to say I'm disappointed in this direction from the boys down under..

    Glad we seen them back in February with Brian, if sources are true and the show I paid for was to be made up with Axl, I would want a refund, a lot better choices Marc Storace from Krokus would of been perfect.

    All I got to say is you know its time to RETIRE if you need Axl Rose to front your band!!!

    I agree with Larry too many others that would be better, I hope Angus knows what he just got into with Axl. there is not a set of shoulders big enough for AXL's head!

    Got a refund for my Philly tickets that was supposed to be this Friday. If it's not Brian I'm not interested. With any other front man, you can't call it AC/DC.

    Ha, my favorite AC/DC is the Bon Scott era, if it's not Bon you can't call it AC/DC..

    LOL!!

    I'm a big fan of AC/DC, and own their entire catalog.. Bon or Brian, it's all good to me.. But I get what your saying..

    Oh yeah Bon Scott for sure. And I get what you're saying.
    Since we can't conjure up the ghost of Bon Scott maybe Udo from Accept (besides Marc Storace) would be interesting.

    Yeah Mark (The Voice) Storace from Krokus would do just fine! He is getting up there in his years but would do great filling in for a bit.

    I remember the first time I heard AC-DC. At first I didn't care for Bon, but he grew on me. I came to really like that nasally, tough, schoolboy-like, tonality. It really fit AC-DC perfectly. Then Bon died and I heard Brian. Also not crazy about his gravelly, hoarse sounding, screaming voice the first time I heard him, but low and behold, I came to love his voice too.

    Though Axl was an obvious A**hole primadonna, I always thought he had a pretty good screaming voice. I think he will do fine as a fill in. AC-DC can always keep the mic low and drown him out if necessary. They are more about the driving beat and monster guitars anyway :smile: Axl is a lot older now, hopefully more humble, and hopefully not as much of an idiot as he used to be. That being said, I don't know what his voice is like now. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and I guess AC-DC is too.

    He actually sounded "halfway" decent in Vegas at their second show because he had to sit in a chair with his foot up. He couldn't move around and immediately be out of breath.
