More bad news for AC/DC

[Basvarken]

Oh no, not him....

Ah, he's gonna do a Sabbath-Halford then!



Meet and greet your heroes. I guess Axl could pull it off and AC/DC would be able to live with his antics and persona for 10 shows.

They also reportedly auditioned the singer from a local AC/DC tribute band in Atlanta.  It could be Ripper Owens all over again...

Frankly: Young talents from everywhere should apply. To keep you abreast of what's out there, this gifted and blessed little lass here, for example, is Brian, Angus and Malcolm all rolled into one ...



How I dread the nadir of adolescent comments this video will once again provoke in this cesspool of poor taste. 

Once you all have calmed down and regained a semblance of decorum, what about her:



That must be Warwick-Chris playing the bass.

Even with as loud as their shows are I'm not surprised at all that he could have done more damage from racing that music.  I raced motorcycles for almost 2 decades and have been exposed to far greater extremes in volume that I ever have with music. Granted, the hearing loss I have experience was was mostly avoidable with proper ear protection but you're young, dumb and invincible it doesn't always cross your mind to wear protection 

Let me guess. You raced Nortons?

I heard Axl Rose has been approached as the singer. Yeesh.

There is a certain ruthlessness in the way the AC/DC organisation does business. The rhythm guitarist and lynchpin of the band becomes mentally ill - no matter, get the cousin to play. The drummer becomes a criminal law fallacy - ooops, get the old drummer back in. The singer with 35 years of combat duty loses his voice - hey, someone call Axl! Next, Steve Jones will dep for Angus and Steve Harris assumes Cliff Williams' duties. It will, of course, still be the full AC/DC experience.

The Scorpions just had to call off a bunch of German dates because Klaus Meine's lungs and vocal chords are inflamed, there is no talk of getting someone else in to sing. Is Klaus Meine more important to the Scorpions than Brian Johnson is to AC/DC? Likewise, I couldn't have imagined AC/DC's musical chairs with a band like Led Zeppelin: Could you envisage a Zep reunion tour with say, Bonham jr, continuing after either Jimmy Page or Robert Plant become road casualities? Or the Stones continuing a tour with off-the-cuff replacements for either Jagger or Richards?

Milking the cangaroo for what it's worth. The institution taking care of Malcolm can't be that expensive.

My friend is recording an album and Marc Storace is scheduled to come over to do the vocals but that is on hold right now because Storace has gotten an offer from AC/DC (audition or the gig, don't know). He had turned down the gig before when it was offered to him after Bon Scotts death, a decision which he has stated that he regrets. One doesn't often get a second chance in this biz.

Needless to say, with a contract signed, plane ticket and hotel accomodations already bought, my friend is on pins and needles waiting to hear what is going to happen.

Let me guess. You raced Nortons?

Yeah, my logon name doesn't hide much   Early on it was Suzuki's but I got into the vintage racing and stuck with BSA's and Norton's for the duration.

Storace has auditioned for Purple too - when Gillan left for the second time. I wish him luck.

AC/DC really seem to stay in the mold looking for their new singer, don't they? They have their recipe and neither hell nor high water may even slightly change it. Screechers all, nothing else goes. If Dan McCafferty (formerly of Nazareth) didn't have the health issues he would probably already have a plane ticket for an audition too. What about fellow Aussie Jimmy Barnes?

[wellREDman]

. What about fellow Aussie Jimmy Barnes?

Barnesy has health issues too I cant see him being well enough to tour.
I nearly met him once , he was supposed to come on and guest at one of SAHB's sydney shows, but he never showed up, when we got back to blighty we found out it was because he's had a heart attack that night

[Basvarken]

It's official now. Axl joins AC/DC for the summer tour...

Well, I guess that's it for AC/DC then. So sad it had to end this way.

[amptech]

It feels like a bad dream. This is horrible. I don´t think the internet is the right place to say bad thing about people, but Axl really sucks ass.

[Basvarken]

It proves that Angus & Co have completely lost the plot. Out of all singers they could have chosen, they had to pick him?!

[Highlander]

Kerching... nothing more...

Move along... nothing to see... move along...
