I got to tell ya AXL/DC haters that they have been getting phenomenal reviews.... I mean lets be honest, Brian Johnson wasn't cutting it anymore...since like a real long time ago...
Of course the band lost Phil Rudd which is horrible and Malcolm which is doubly horrible..without Mal it ain't AC/DC.. anybody that knows AC/DC knows Mal was the leader... the heartbeat...
But if you think about it as the Axl and Angus show.. I think it sounds killer! Don't get so caught up on the name.. who cares? Angus is alive. Malcolm has advanced dementia... Phil got caught trying to have some pimp killed.. what the fuck are you going to do.. oh and Brian just can't hack it no more and should stick to collecting cars..
I will not go cause it just doesn't rise to the level of a show I need to see for that kind of money.... and I had my fun spending tons of money (For my standards) to see Iggy Pop, Mudcrutch and even my Cure ticket cost a bit and with the babysitter we have to get forget about it..... I've seen AC/DC from the second row center.. with Malcolm, Phil, Angus, Brian.. I'm never going to top that!
But Axl will no doubt do Bon Scott songs better than Brian Johnson currently could.... and for him its a labor of love. .he WANTED the job...
To be honest, I don't get what people hate.. he's doing it cause he loves AC/DC and wants to sing their songs.. what the fuck is wrong with that if Angus is cool with it??? I mean Axl had GNR lined up - which is a pretty time consuming big deal with the reunion.. and a huge moneymaker- but he saw the opportunity with AC/DC and he jumped on it! I think he deserves a lot of respect for that.. maybe its the first cool thing he's done in a few decades but its still cool
most people who don't know shit just come down on it like a gag reflex....but I think if you love AC/DC and you like GNR.. I would imagine this would be a fun show.. rather than seeing Brian doing the exact same songs (mostly Bon Scott songs from before he joined the band BTW so NOT the original singer anyways) they always do you get to see an entirely different singer that in some ways embodies Bon Scott a bit better...
at least that is the way I see it...
