    Its been said "All good things must come to a end" And to have Axl's winnyness replace Brian's gruffness proves the band must be entering into a advanced state of dementia!

    Given that Malcolm Young actually has dementia, that comment wasn't funny. At all.

    Hey 2cents Dave unfortunate as it is Malcolm aint in the band no more. Too bad though he may have insisted on a better replacement choice than Angus.And my comment wasn't intended to be humorous Actually in its seriousness it may be considered more of a commentary for a reason there for

    I saw the reincarnation of G & R on Palladia/MTV LIVE from England. They 4 lead guitarists among other assorted so called musicians and personally I thought it all sucked. Now I will fully admit that I never liked them, they always had a reputation of very late starts to shows which would drive me nuts because every venue has curfews and thought Slash a decent Les Paul player. Again coming from a Dead head non heavy metal taste dude. The only heavy metal act that worked for me was Metallica's version of Bob Seger's Turn The Page.
    If anyone deserved a punch in the face for no reason at all it would be Axel Rose and I'd be the one to do it. WOW such violence from a mellow dude like me.....lol

    I think it's a disaster waiting to happen IMO, I heard Axel on a concert video and I can't remember which one it was, but he sounded god awful..
    I love AC/DC and I just hope Angus sees the concert video I did and puts the brakes on that act of desperation..

    Well holy COW balls, I'm impressed.
    I did not know he had a broken leg, I only watched a minute or two but did I see Slash playing?

    Back up I just read the YouTube title, G'n'R with Angus Young, I thought it was the other way around, or maybe it's a little taste..

    I guess I've become rather bias as I've been a fan since Jailbreak and they were the first concert I attended back in 78,In the years following I never really thought that Brian could acceptably replace Bon's sound in doing their early songs.But I came appreciate that Brian was much better suited for the songs that followed.
    But still.irregardless of his character it was due to Axl's grating style that I was never a big fan of GnR despite the fact that imo they have about 8 songs that should be considered rock classics.And while the band came out sounding great and Angus was in top form,its still inconceivable from my point of view that anybody that appreciates AC/DC classics could enjoy listing to 2-3 hours of Axl's rendition of them! I'd rather go hear a closer sounding cover band

    7 thousand Belgian fans have requested refunds on their tickets. Didn't see this one coming.
