Atlanta Radio 100.5 DJ Jason Bailey reported yesterday on his show, as transcribed by Alternative Nation, that a ‘very very good source’ is telling him that Axl Rose will indeed be joining AC/DC to front the band for the remainder of their tour. Alternative Nation first reported rumors of Rose touring with AC/DC on Monday.

This is what I’m being told, Axl was meeting with the AC/DC group, because it’s all but a done deal that Axl will front AC/DC for the 10 remaining shows. All 10, including Atlanta.”

“From what I was told, this was all kind of new inside information to me, Angus is a very black and white guy. He’s like, Brian, for health reasons, can’t continue fronting the band. He was supposed to retire after the last tour, so they wanted to continue going out on the road and continue making music, so if you can’t do it, we appreciate your services, but the show must go on. They’re in town, they were auditioning people for the job, and then they flew Axl in, again, this is from my source.”

Axl Rose was spotted in Atlanta over the weekend, and according to MSL from GNRTruth, he was there for rehearsals, but not for Guns N’ Roses. While MSL’s tease on GNRTruth doesn’t specify what exactly Rose is rehearsing for, it has led to rampant speculation that the legendary Guns N’ Roses frontman could be one of AC/DC’s guest singers for their upcoming concerts.

AC/DC released the following statement earlier this month: “AC/DC are postponing the remaining dates of their U.S. tour because of lead singer Brian Johnson’s possible hearing loss. The band says in a statement that doctors have advised the ‘Back in Black’ singer to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss. The group’s shows beginning Thursday in Atlanta through April 4 in New York are being rescheduled for later in the year — likely with a guest vocalist. The group’s lone stop in Florida would have been Friday at the BB&T Center in Fort Lauderdale. AC/DC opened the most recent U.S. leg of its ‘Rock or Bust’ tour Feb. 2 in Tacoma, Washington.”
 
Jesus. Wonder if he will walk off the stage in a hissy fit when Angus upstaged him. :lol: :LOL:
 
That quite possibly may be one of the worst decisions made by a band Ive ever heard.
 
I can't imagine the train-wreck Axl singing AC/DC tunes.

As mentioned, this has to be a hoax.
 
Sounds like Wolfman Jack

Gotta be a hoax......

It may be a hoax but I think it really does sounds like Brian Johnson may be done for good playing live from the reports I've read on the web the last week...I think there really is something to it.
I don't think Angus is ready to be done with ACDC for good and after the upcoming tour dates with replacement singers I think he will likely want to do another tour with a replacement ymmv :lol: :LOL:
 
Well as long as he is wearing this outfit I say......GO FOR IT!!
 
:lol: :LOL:
That and I'd like to see Angus rocking a Blades or I problem won't get tickets :lol: :LOL:

Wish I could of seen Bon. :cry:

that is pretty bad. I realize they need a big name to carry the big audience, but there are other guys without the fame that could do much better on the voice front. Zeto from Exodus, Storace, dude from Accept that used to play for TT Quick. Probably others. Hell Sammy would be better than this option.

Sammy! If Sammy Davis Jr was still around that would be a better option

I would say Storace, and a setlist full of Bon Scott songs, if they wanted to go out with a bang. No disrespect in any way to Brian Johnson, but AC/DC has never had the same "vibe" since Bon left this earth. At least not to me, anyway. I'm not saying to play only Bon Scott songs, but If this is going to be the end of the road, make sure to let the entire catalog speak.

If AC/DC wanted to continue on for another several years they should just find a young guy that can take them into the future and bring forward with the past. The fans will respect that more. There is so much talent out there these days than to have to settle for that hack Axl Rose. GNR actually sounded better with Weiland before he left us. Just hope this is not some ridiculous reaction by the band to finish that tour, almost reminds of that tour by Ozzie where they replaced Rhoads with that guy from NightRanger, no disrespect to him but it was awful having to fill shoes like that.
 
I really hope that this isn't true, though I could see it happening. I don't think that Axl has the voice that would work for them. Although no one in the states remembers him, Udo would be a much better fit. He has the grit, the range and is also a little person.
 
How about the more obvious question... will anyone still be on the stands when finally AC/DC ..or rather, Axl, is ready to come out on stage at 11:45 p.m? Notorious late starter who enjoys making his subjects wait for their king.
