Angus does look pretty haggard, but I will give him this: to me he is definitely in that exclusive club, who I respect whether or not I appreciate the music they currently make, of old dudes who can still rock out with more energy than I see from most entertainers in their prime (as much as they ever showed in their primes).  Him, Iggy and Rollins for sure, a few more that escape me at the moment.

Rob is unkind; Axl is exceeding expectations easily.  He ain't no Brian, and he ain't no Bon, but that can't hardly be expected can it.

I'm not questioning his talent, and I'd bet he has way more stamina than I do. He just looks awful. Time for a cosmetic upgrade.

I know, just counterbalancin.  Yeah, he's in that other club now along with The Stones and Steve Tyler too.

Good lord, is that Angus' great-grandfather?

It's not Angus Young, it's Angus Old - or at the very least, Angus Cigarettes-Caffeine-And-Touring-Will-Make-You-Look-Like-You-Hit-The-Wall.

Well, he already wanted to retire from music back in the 70ies when three albums with Home,

(THAT BOWED BASS SOLO IS HIM!!!)

a stint as Al Stewart's backing live band and the short-lived Bandit had gotten him nowhere. Then the call from AC/DC came to the man who had never really played hard or heavy rock before ...

Cliff Williams is a man who makes good on his promises ... eventually!

That's pretty good  ;D

Now if only they could open the show with Angus playing the theme from Benny Hill and have Axl chase some girls wearing circa 1977 bikini's around the stage.  8)

Was offered tickets (not great ones but free nonetheless) to Thursday's show in Atlanta.  It'll be interesting to see the spectacle first hand.

I wonder if Cybill and Axl have the same plastic surgeon?

Credit where credit is due, that's Boots Randolph's Yakety Sax. The hit version was released in 1963, although he had recorded an earlier version.
