AC/DC.

COYBL25 · April 16, 2015

Took my younger brother to see them at the MEN in 2000 as an early Chritsmas present for him. DC blew the place away and on the way back to the car, still buzzing we found this tiny two room boozer in a back street called the Eagle. We walked in and the place was absolutely bouncing, birthday party with a DJ in the back room, the ale was off the scale cheap and to cut a long story very short we got out at 5am, totally hammered and had to sleep in the car. It was genuinely one of the best nights I,ve ever had.

Sake. Brian Johnson going deaf, so US gigs cancelled, and looking for a STAND IN for their summer gigs??

Best call it a day imo, rather than morph into a karaoke band.

Stand in? Not so bad!

Ever heard of a band called Krokus?

I have, but not aware of their work nor history, but I am pretty sure I saw them years ago.

Vocalist is called Marc Storace, they sound like AC/DC but most their songs are faster (Judas Style).

He himself tries to emulate Brian, and succeeds I'd say:

Guess if they get someone decent in it will sound fine, but would rather they knock it on the head if I am honest.

At least finish the tours I'd say - Marc is more than able to perform as close as possible to Brian, despite not having the same presence obviously... Then just call it a day or do another final album and don't tour it out if Bri can't...

I mean it's not really great if they don't tour it, but I'd be more than happy with a final album if it's a good one tbh.

A once truly great band that should have packed it in after the Black Ice tour. That album was poor enough and a couple of songs I heard from Rock Or Bust sounded awful. Dementia, deafness, court case......please call it quits lads.

Some worrying rumours, backed up by some evidence, that the guest singer for AC/DC's re-arranged USA tour dates will be none other than Axl Rose. :eek:

And apparently, Brian Johnson is rather less than impressed at being booted into touch so quickly after nearly 36 years with the band.

The Axl Rose rumor is worrisome, to say the least.

Yes, a great band have descended into parody. I see that BJ got a terse "thanks for your contribution and dedication" message from whatever now passes as the remainder of the band.
