I don't think AC/DC has sounded this good since Bon Scott died. Axel nailed it.

Just talkin' about music performance.
You are so much more forgiving with Stones concerts...
The Lisbon show was awesome, just read the reviews, like you do on IORR...
We never question any review, right ?
If Stones lost 3 official members at this late point of their career, I would have zero interest in a new line up of replacements - no matter how good the new band would sound. In fact, it would be a terrible thing to do their legacy. Malcolm and Angus have been as important to ACDC as Mick and Keith to The Stones. If you take one of them out, the thrill is gone. But in this case they took the drummer and the singer in addition to Malcolm. I hate to admit it, but ACDC is gone, and IMO it is an insult to Malcolm and Brian, the fans, their name and legacy to continue.

At the time of Charlie´s cancer treatment, it´s true that Mick and Keith wrote some songs and recorded a few demos, but they waited for Charlie to get ready before they recorded A Bigger Bang and went on tour. I refuse to believe that The Rolling Stones would tour without Charlie. Keith would definitely never accept it.

Axl appears to be lip syncing his ACDC performance. Watched several up close
videos of the Lisbon performance and there is vocals when the mike
was not close to his mouth. Watch very closely.
Another separate rehearsal video shows Axl backstage wheeling around
on his leg cart while at the same time, you can hear the band play with
his vocals apparent. There was no mike in hand.

No, it´s not a "fan perception", but more based on all the interviews I´ve read, watched and heard with Keith Richards in the last 20 years or so, where he repeatedly hails Charlie and describes him as a vital part of the band. In fact, Keith has in the last two decades said many times that much of the secret to The Stones is the interplay between Charlie and himself. Keith has ALWAYS defended, respected and admired Charlie. Mick was perhaps tempted to replace both Charlie and Bill in the 80s, but Keith´s deep loyalty would never allow it. Mick has said it himself: Keith´s greatest strength and weakness is his endless loyalty. It´s unthinkable that he would tour with a Rolling Stones line up without Charlie Watts. Especially at this point of their career. This perception is based on the Keith Richards I know from countless interviews, statements, books, documentaries etc. If they launch a tour this fall without Charlie, it will contradict all the views and values that Keith Richards has claimed to have had in the last 50 years.

I say that because I can't imagine the RS stop all activity in 2004, just before the ABB Tour...

I was at the show last night it was superb and I thought Axl sounded great.

That's exactly what they did do before the Australian tour recently, remember.

Doc, I do get the insurance aspect if that is the case. But I think it´s weird if their insurance does not cover health issues or injuries that might occur.
