I'm not sure I understand Brian Johnson's problem tbh. Yes stadium concert volume levels are damaging his hearing. But why not just wear those pro ear plugs like Chris Martin wears on stage? They can afford it. He's been told he's fine to record in the studio. So if he's ok to wear cans and sing, surely he's ok to wear earplugs and sing.

As sad as it makes me to say it I think if Brian wants out it's time for them to hang it up... or at least just get together once or twice a year for nostalgia until someone drops.
I'm a Bon fan and much prefer that era but Brian stepped up and gave them a good many years. With the dementia issues, legal problems and just getting kind of lame and silly with age (but not to the point of total embarrassment yet like with other bands) I don't see anything worth clinging to.
Also... Brian's voice was pooched from the beginning. Interesting sound for the studio but live it's just been croaking for many MANY years. Dude must have noids on his noids. Sounds (and looks) like he's about to shart out a kidney.
If this Axl thing is true (haven't even bothered looking) the band is done.

I agree with Beepster. No Bon, no Brian, no Malcolm, no AC/DC.

It's true (announced on their website). I think they're trying to do the decent thing and honour the European tour dates, obviously a lot of people have bought tickets. I still say Jimmy Barnes would have been a better choice (being Aussie as well) but I kind of get the Axl Rose thing, it's giving the fans a 'name' rather than just a stand-in.

Finally got a job where I have internet access (and a bit of time) again. And yes, replacing Beepster for live viewings... Besides, if anything should bring someone out of the shadows, it's Axl Rose defiling a classic.

Sad that musicians like Brian suffer ear probs.
Why so many old musicians do´nt get the right moment
to finish the music career ?
Musicians like Brian Ferry , David Bowie ,which finished the career
very aware, are rare.

His problem is that he can't hear the guitars onstage, and thusly can't stay in key. Ear plugs would compound the inability to hear them.

James, I agree Jimmy would have been great, but he's got his own health issues. He released a really good CD last year and was unable to tour to support it due to his health at the time. Great singer and one of my favs.

The ear plugs in question also act as in-ear monitors.

I'm a huge BF fan, but noticed that in his last tour his voice is failing. Where in the past his backing singers sang great countermelodies, now they usually just double his line. It was depressing to notice, and realize that maybe it's time he thought about retiring...

Brian's now 70 so you have to give him props for even trying, but it probably is time for him to hang up the mic. I still remember listening to some of his solo stuff and thinking "Wow, the guitar work is great!" only to find out later that it was Mark Knopfler.

Hey Randy! I didn't know that, sad to hear. Saw a version of DP's 'Lazy' on YouTube a while back with him and Joe Bonamassa, excellent stuff.

I don't think I've ever heard a good live performance by Axl Rose with the Gunners...except.. What little of the newest ones I've heard sound much better than anything I've heard from him this far. Perhaps some extra meat has given him more bottom :o)
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he puts a lot of new life into many AC/DC classics.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

This is just about the tightest live performance from GnR I've seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBd0a1ILgzQ Live MTV special from '88. Band was still lean, hungry and mean. If you can get past some of the tech difficulties and swear werd "BLEEPS" it's a pretty solid performance. Axl included. He of course throws a temper tantrum at one point and whips a mic at someone (IIRC... haven't watched it in a while). lulz

I've always been attracted to old,*weathered* rockers. Like the Rod Stewart songs goes: forever young. Of course you men would never understand the attraction of rough trade. It's kind of a fetish (but then again what isn't?)
