Are the rumours that G'n'R are playing with AC/DC for the remaining tour true? Axl fronting both bands, i've heard him do some ACDC stuff back in the 80's and it sounded good, but that was the 80's....
The only mention I've seen of that was satire. Axl barely shows up long enough to front his own band let alone two.
TMZ.com has posted photos of GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose and members of AC/DC leaving a rehearsal studio in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday — apparently after rehearsing AC/DC classics for the band's upcoming shows. Check out the pictures at this location.
A rumor started last this week suggesting Axl will perform as a guest vocalist with AC/DC gained traction after Atlanta Rock 100.5 host Jason Bailey claimed that a "very, very good source" confirmed to him that the collaboration was happening.
The rumor began after AC/DC postponed the last ten shows of its recent North American tour because singer Brian Johnson was in danger of suffering "total hearing loss." The band promised to make up the gigs, possibly with "guest vocalists." Rose has been spotted and photographed in Atlanta, where AC/DC is reportedly meeting with potential singers.
Bailey reported: "This is what I'm being told: Axl was meeting with the AC/DC group, because it's all but a done deal that Axl will front AC/DC for the 10 remaining shows."
Bailey added that Johnson was "supposed to retire after the last tour," adding, "They're in town, they were auditioning people for the job, and then they flew Axl in. Again, this is from my source."
A press representative for AC/DC responded to the reports that Rose is set to fill in for Johnson as the band's frontman for the rest of the hard rock outfit's tour, telling NME: "Nothing official to announce. Will update you if that changes."
Rose was apparently not in Atlanta on any GUNS N' ROSES business. That band will make its comeback with original members Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan at six shows next month in California, Las Vegas and Mexico.
There is no word on whether AC/DC intends to permanently replace Johnson, who has been the band's frontman for 36 years.

AC/DC neither confirms nor denies (bolded)
Yeah, but I havent seen anything saying that GNR will play with AC/DC or that AC/DC will headline for GNR with Axl singing for both other than satire. I've only seen what you just posted, that he may be singing with AC/DC for the remainder of the tour.
That's what happens when you turn the volume up to 12.

The only real AC/DC singer was Bon Scott
I don't agree.
Brian can't sing long way to the top
Bonn wouldn't be able to sing for those about to rock
They both fit the sound well
Agreed. I am amazed at how different the two lead singers are, yet they both worked so well with the band.
Hiring a new lead singer for this tour is a pure dick move though. It's one thing to find a new band member when death is involved. This just seems wrong though.
I think the other option is to refund which could be a dick move too. Brian should have been more realistic about his hearing situation but this matches his & the bands image.
I live in MA, I have never seen the cannons in action. Damn you coconut grove fire!
The "lyrics" she was singing made me chuckle.
I heard the cannons at the Providence Civic Center in the 80/90's. They were seriously loud.
oh, to further cement their bonds, Angus came out during GnR's set and they did "Whole Lotta Rosie" + another song

Yup, I wouldn't mind if AC/DC opens for the GnR august concert. :awe:
