Any band with an ex-Manfred Mann's Earth Band/Uriah Heep/Gary Moore/Asia-drummer, an ex-Home/Al Stewart-bassist, the singer of GnR and two Australian guitarists with an ill dress sense that really haven't done anything noteworthy in other bands outside of AX/DC is bound to be interesting at least. You couldn't have made it up. I wonder if Angus is now practicing the Sweet Child of Mine-intro?
I predicted Chris Slade, I did not predict Axl.
If he poaches Chris Slade for GnR, some good might come out of all this!
It's not any more incongruous than Ian Gillan joining Sabbath (and that spawned at least one album that is among both my favourite Sab- and Gillan-outside-of-DP-albums) or Todd Rundgren trying to be Ric Ocasek with the Cars (that spawned nothing noteworthy).
The more I think about it, the more I really have to tip my hat to Axl - he stands a lot to lose with this and very little to gain (except money he doesn't really need). The man is used to either being (at least) the front man of vintage GnR or (even) the solo star of modern day GnR (pre-reunion), he's done nothing else for the last 30 years. And now goes out with a band with two millstones round his neck (Bon Scott's nostaligia-bathed eternal status and Brian Johnson's workmanlike, but reliable 35 years of belting it out in stadiums worldwide for the Young brothers). Any singer with AC/DC is the sideman of the Young brothers, i.e. today of Angus, that's gonna be some change for the kid from Indiana. Daunting.
