i think like most people i thought axl rose was a completely washed up rocker,
and i say this as a fan of guns and roses from the beginning of their career.
this is a guy that most people i know started out loving and learned to despise.
he couldn't handle being a star-beat his girlfriends,jumped into the audience to fight with fans,refused to go onstage with a crowd waiting and finally drove his band members away one by one because he wanted to do some bullshit nine inch nails type of music.
to make matters worse he took the bands name and dragged it through the mud by carrying on with a bunch of wannabes and nobodies.
by the mid 90's we were calling him axlhole,axl pose and the fatter he got the funnier it was.
now comes 2016-he has done a 180 degree turn,gets the old band back together for a huge tour AND bookends it by fronting ac/dc on their tour.
turns out he actually looks healthier at that weight. he's smiling,laughing and seems to be having a great time.more importantly he kept his voice intact and has sounded really good with both bands.
i talked to some people who met him before the vegas shows and they said he was friendly,signed everything for the fans and seemed to be in a good place.
everyone loves a good comeback and this is one of the best we've seen in rock and roll in a long time.
i keep waiting for him to implode but i'm starting to think he just finally grew up,it's the summer of axl-who knew..

I was at the concert in London tonight great gig Axl was superb and I am sure it was Slash I saw standing at the side of the stage watching the show.

Right. Slash and Duff were there to watch his bandmate.
I seriously doubt it. Angus seems very happy having a singer who can perform longer, more varied setlists and can hit all the high notes. His change in demeanor and increased energy since ditching Brian speaks for itself. Hate to say it, but I think Brian has sung his last song with AC/DC.Quote

Let's see. Angus mentioned that they enjoy working with Axl very much, they are experimenting more and trying older songs. Things they didn't do with Brian. And now, he is the star.

Maybe I'm the only one thinking this, but I don't like how Axl voice fits with ACDC. He scream too much for me...
Well, listen to bootlegs of Brian back in the early '80s...he pretty much screamed like that through every song.Quote

Actually Malcolm was always more of the boss than Angus from what I understand.Quote

1. Malcolm was ALWAYS the bos
2. Cliff has seen sense as is calling it a day once the US dates are done. Well done Cliff, if only Angus has some dignity left he'd do the same

I thought Brian was on his way back, after discovering the new technology that helps him with his problems?
