Angus gaat denk ik nog als gast mee met GnR, kans is zeer groot acht ik.
Na de gehoorproblemen Brian Johnson is dat wel de klap geweest en het definitieve startsein voor het einde imo...
Einde van een tijdperk :'(
\m/ AC/DC \m/
Gaat gebeuren dat AC/DC blijft bestaan hoor. Gewoon nog Angus Young die de merknaam uitmelkt met wat gastmuzikanten. Triestig.

Vooral nummer 7 ( Tommy Stinson ) en nummer 1 ( Duff McKagan ) lijken mij wel in het plaatje te passen... ha ha...
Dan bedoel ik een plaatje als de cross-over die onstaan lijkt tussen GnR en AC/DC, Axl die bij AC/DC zingt en Angus die met GnR mee doet.
Stel je voor zeg... Een soort combinatie-super-act tussen GnR en AC/DC die op tour gaat met een setlist met GnR en AC/DC greatest hits!!
Zou niet slecht zijn...

Nja, mensen lijken ook heel enthousiast te zijn over Prophets Of Rage terwijl dat op hetzelfde neerkomt (alleen niet voor het geld).
Maar als het echt de toer opgaat richting "Angus Young en andere bekende muzikanten spelen AC/DC" geraak ik echt al mijn respect kwijt. De tijdelijke toevoeging van Axl Rose kon ik nog begrijpen, dat draaide muzikaal goed uit en was nog altijd beter dan een half jaar aan tourdata annuleren. Maar om dan alle leden plots als inwisselbaar te gaan beschouwen.
Nou, AC/DC is gewoon ten einde. Dat kunnen we toch wel stellen, zeker met wegvallen van nu nog Williams en Johnson.
Angus zal hier nog een lange tijd mee door kunnen, makkelijk...
Wat Everyknight hierboven ook al aangeeft
Maar waarom zoeken naar gastmuzikanten, als je zelf al gastmuzikant bent bij GnR?? Toch?
Dan ook nog eens Axl die gastmuzikant is bij AC/DC en GnR dat nu op hoop van zegen en de goede vrede bewaart op de reunie tour te kunnen voortzetten.
Nu deze tours kunnen ze nog zeker wat jaar samen op tour met een Gnr/DC setting, zo zag ik dat.
Dus, dit succes moeten ze gewoon zo uitmelken lijkt mij een goed idee voor komende jaren...
Wat ik er aantrekkelijk aan vind...
Nou. AC/DC op zichzelf is ter zielen.
Guns 'n Roses reünie lijkt me eenmalig en niet voor een lang huwelijk klaargelegd. Dat is momenteel enkel de reünie volledig uitmelken, anders niets dan cachen.
Mij lijkt voor beide bands na deze tour het einde nabij!!
Willen Axl en Angus verder, zullen ze toch een oplossing gaan zoeken.
Axl kan zeker met zijn 'andere' Guns 'n Roses (Rose, leadgitarist Bumblefoot, gitarist Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer, en pianisten Dizzy Reed en Chris Pitman) verder, oke dat is mogelijk.
Angus, tja, het einde van AC/DC is wel in zicht. Hij zal stoppen of AC/DC nieuw leven in willen blazen met andere zanger en verdere bandleden nog en blijven touren.
Of, hij zal eventueel alleen als gastgitarist met acts mee touren, maar dan zal hij vervallen in slechts 2 a 3 AC/DC-classics spelen imo...
Het is eigenlijk zoals ik het zie: Axl zoekt nog een halve band en Angus zoekt nog een halve band, dwz na de GnR tour en na de AC/DC tour.
Axl zingt dan dus de GnR en de AC/DC nummers, Angus is het boegbeeld vooraan.
Dat lijkt mij gewoon heel interessant. thats all... Het lijkt me minder triest dan Angus met slechte band te laten vergaan of zelfs helemaal geen AC/DC meer.
Verder, gewoon gedachte spinsel van mij hoor... Zal niet gebeuren hoogstwaarschijnlijk!
Dat vind ik dan weer niet. Elke poging om alsnog geld/voldoening te halen uit de muzikale erfenis van AC/DC vind ik erger dan het stopzetten van AC/DC. Uiteindelijk zouden we gewoon dankbaar moeten zijn voor het feit dat bands als AC/DC (maar ook pakweg Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden of Fleetwood Mac) decennia na hun muzikale hoogtepunt nog steeds indrukwekkende shows neerzetten. Dat we meermaals deze artiesten hebben kunnen zien zonder wrange nasmaak, zelfs mensen uit jongere generaties, is iets wat we moeten koesteren. We bevinden ons nu eenmaal in een periode waarin de muzikale grootheden oud worden en daar de gevolgen van dragen. Dan kunnen we beter proberen te genieten van elke keer dat we hen in een (min of meer) originele lineup kunnen zien, en vervolgens accepteren dat het voorbij is als bepaalde leden er een punt achter zetten.
Natuurlijk is het als muziekliefhebber een natte droom om legendarische muzikanten uit verschillende bands samen aan het werk te zien, maar in de praktijk zou het gewoon te onnatuurlijk aanvoelen.
Dat 'dankbaar zijn' vind ik een mooi stukje. Dat ben ik wel volledig met je eens.
Er wordt wel eens gekscherend gedaan over rollator-rock', bijvoorbeeld recent nog bij Paul McCartney voor oa Pinkpop en Rock Werchter, of de The Stones.
Maar de waarheid is anders, hoe prachtig het is zo'n iconen nog bezig te kunnen zien...
Helemaal uiteraard genieten van een 'oer'-band in originele bezetting, met name de acts uit '60 en '70, die momenteel (letterlijk) uitstervend zijn, naderen nu ook de acts met oorsprong in '80's langzaam het einde na komend decennia...
Idd koesteren en genieten zolang het nog kan...
AC/DC's Angus Young Talks Retirement, Malcolm Young Health Update
Guitarist opens up about enlisting Axl Rose and fate of legendary hard rock band
'It can look a bit strange – 'Who's this old guy in a school suit?' " says 61-year-old AC/DC guitarist Angus Young. "Somebody once commented, 'From a distance, he looks quite youthful.' It's only when you get up close that you can see the weathered look." That wear and tear are real for Young as he leads AC/DC through their toughest and possibly final world tour, which ends September 20th in Philadelphia.

AC/DC's Cliff Williams: 'I'm Backing Off Touring, Recording'
Bassist cites band's recent troubles including departure of Brian Johnson, Malcolm Young's dementia
But he speaks candidly and as cheerfully as possible about the severe hearing problems that recently forced singer Brian Johnson to retire from touring; the immediate offer to fill in from Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose; bassist Cliff Williams' recent announcement that this tour would be his last; and the current health of ex-guitarist and Angus' older brother, Malcolm, who suffers from dementia. "It's hard to communicate," Angus admits. "I do pass on messages. I can't be 100 percent sure it goes in there. But I let him know there are a lot of people missing him."
Axl is used to running his own ship. Did you have to talk to him about how you do things – like being on time?
He's been really good. He prepares himself, ready to go. We sit and chew the fat before we get on, work out what songs we want to do. It's gotta be fun for him, and for us. In the beginning, he was confined [with a foot injury] to that chair he borrowed from Dave Grohl. But as soon as he could, he was out and moving.
How did you get Axl to step in for Brian?
Axl contacted a production guy who had done stuff for us. He said, "I know these guys. They have a work ethic. They want to finish these dates." He volunteered. He came to a rehearsal place we set up in Atlanta, and he'd done his homework. He had a few songs like "Touch Too Much" [on 1979's Highway to Hell] – "Can you play this one?" "No, we never learned it." We had never attempted to play it live.
Does Axl sound more like Brian or the late Bon Scott?
He's more in the Bon style – the rock & roll character. And he's got his own folksy humor. He's pretty quick with a quip. Axl has different vocal ranges. You can hear him one way in a Bon song. Then he can flip and do Brian, the higher register.

Was Brian having hearing problems before you started the tour?
He was having problems when we were rehearsing for Coachella [in 2015]. He already had one bad ear. He damaged it in a car accident. The one good ear was rapidly dropping. We were in Australia, and he was seeing a specialist. Each show he did, he had to get monitored and treated. But it was becoming too hard for him.
Do you think Cliff's decision to retire is related to Brian leaving?
Cliff made it known before we'd even started touring – this would be his last. Besides myself, Cliff has been there the longest, since 1977. Cliff and Brian are in the same age bracket. They like to go out, hit the pubs. They had the bond.
What is it like touring without Malcolm on guitar? Is your nephew Stevie filling that hole for you?
Sometimes I do a double take. I hear the sound behind me and think, "That sounds so Mal." When Stevie was younger, he really focused on what Mal did. It's not an easy thing. You gotta be solid, confident. It looks simple. It is definitely not simple.
Malcolm's guitar-playing sounded a lot like his personality – forward and determined.
He was older than me – I always looked up to him. In the studio, I would fiddle about with guitar sounds – and fiddle my way right out of the ball field [laughs]. Malcolm would dial me in, a big, fat sound, and I'd go, "Oh, wow!"
Do you now wonder if it was time to quit when Malcolm couldn't continue – that you pushed the band too far?
That might be the case. But Malcolm was always one to battle through. He would look at me in times of crisis and go, "We'll just go in and do some work. We'll sit and write some songs." He had that drive, and I feel obligated to keep it going, maybe because I was there in the beginning with him.
Have you thought about your own future after the tour ends? You've never played in any other band.
That's true. At this point, I don't know. We were committed to finishing the tour. Who knows what I'll feel after? When you sign on and say, "I'm gonna do this and that," it's always good to say at the end of it, "I've done all I said I would do."
That was always the idea, especially when we were younger – me, Malcolm, Bon. You had to show up and be on time. You'd be playing in a pub in the afternoon. Then late at night, you'd be playing a club. You got into that habit: "If we don't play, we don't eat."
Who else would you like to play with if you had the shot?
You'd have to resurrect a lot of people from the dead, I think [laughs]. I'd sit down with Keith Richards, do something. He's a rhythm guy like Mal.
AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams said he will "back off" touring and recording after the band finishes the final leg of its Rock or Bust tour.

Angus Young schrijft een nieuw AC/DC-album met Axl Rose
'They'll be back (in black)'
Yeah! Het lijkt er toch echt op dat Axl Rose en Angus Young druk bezig zijn met een nieuw AC/DC-album.
Nieuw materiaal
AC/DC heeft een turbulente periode doorgemaakt. Met onder meer het vertrek van drummer Phil Rudd en bassist Cliff Williams. De gehoorproblemen van zanger Brian Johnson en natuurlijk het plotselinge overlijden van Malcolm Young. Gelukkig is Angus Young niet bij de pakken neer gaan zitten. Het lijkt er namelijk toch echt op dat er een nieuw AC/DC-album in de maak is! Dit heeft Angry Anderson, frontman van de Australische band Rose Tattoo, verklapt: "Vorig jaar sprak ik Angus Young toen we de openingsact waren voor Guns N' Roses. Ik vroeg hem: 'Wat ga je doen?' en Angus antwoordde: "Ik schrijf een nieuw album." Ik dacht 'cool', dus ik vroeg hem wie er in de band zat en hij zei: "Axl"! Is dit waar? Het lijkt er wel op, want ook AC/DC-biograaf Murray Engleheart heeft dit aangegeven:
Murray Engleheart
Speculate all you want but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: AC/DC will continue with Axl on vocals - new album, touring, the whole nine yards. What was a massive gamble by Angus turned out to be an equally enormous triumph that has set the scene for the future.
