More bad news for AC/DC

[uwe]

I already consider the whole operation of merging AC/DC and GnR great fun!!! All rather lovely, especially if you - like me - think both bands totally overrated. A Holy Communion of mediocrity. It was my master(race)plan all along!!!

The "Thousand Year Rock" tour?
It could well end up the same way as it did the first time - charred remains.

So I guess the title of this thread holds true? 

I actually don't know what the big deal is. Axl's voice is only slightly more annoying than Brian Johnson's.

It's a long way to the top (of your range) if you want to screech!

I'm not expecting anything but suckage from this ill-advised union, so I suppose there's always the chance of being pleasantly surprised.  I assumed it was pretty much over after Malcom departed.  As for Axl, I dislike his voice, and never thought much of GnR after about 1988 when I briefly found them a welcome slightly-gritty respite from several years of  boring hair metal on the radio and MTV. But maybe it'll work.

As for AC/DC, I've never worshipped them, but I do enjoy their classic stuff, and I like that they have proudly stuck to the same formula with mostly solid results. Usually I like a band to take chances with their music and risk failure, but why would you want that from AC/DC? It's not what they are  

I've found in my band that AC/DC songs are some of the most difficult to cover that we've tried.  There's nothing to hide behind. With something that simple, you have to get the feel right, and either you convincingly bring the ROCK, or you don't. Technique isn't that important here, and you can't compensate by overplaying or embellishing either, it doesn't add anything good to that music.

I'm afraid it may get even worse.  Lana Del Rey & Axl Rose singing together is something I hope I never have to hear.

"Some nights, for fun, we're going to switch the bands. AC/DC will play Guns N' Roses songs and Guns N' Roses will play AC/DC songs. Of course, I will still be on stage both sets so the fans don't miss out on seeing the greatest singer, musician, and visionary of all time!" Axl said during the special interview.

Wait, what? Does this mean Kanye will be touring with them?

Somehow I knew that Gert Frobe was behind this merger.

"No Mr Westheimer, I expect you to cry...!"

[uwe]

What did I start?! 

[Highlander]

Well, you did invade Poland...

[Pilgrim]

It's all coming apart...

Interesting times indeed.

Only by accident, in defense and after continued border incidents!!!
