Angus Young is writing a new AC/DC album with Axl Rose

[Wooody]

Axl said, "that's not the kind of music I want to do". I said, "okay" and took it back

Hmm, you're putting 100% confidence in a quote from one interview, while totally dismissing what was said in another.

You're of course totally entitled to wave off Axl's thoughts about the subject as "obvious bullshit", but personally I think there is something to it. Axl may have made a bad decision in not working on the material presented to him, but I don't think his reasons are clear cut.

That's what Ive been saying from the beginning

Read what was posted above again. It's clear as day what Axl says. He wasn't able to reinvent himself so he wanted to do a more traditional record as it would have been quicker and easier.  It can't be any more plain dude. 

... except he did reinvent himself.

Sorry but I don't buy that Axl ever seriously wanted to pump out a quick album. His entire career has shown the opposite.

Exactly, as early as 91 he showed interest in new styles and creations. Even UYI was a departure from AFD.

Yes he reinvented himself and the band after slash left, he had the time to do it then. When slash was still there however it was easier for Axl to do a more traditional record. I dont understand why you guys are arguing against it. It's right there on the first page in Axl's own words.

No, not one, interview, just about every single one Slash, Duff and Matt did after leaving.

If that were really the case, Slash would have had no reason to leave in the first place. He said many times it was due to differences in where they wanted the band to go. There was a 1999-ish interview where he was asked about a reunion and said something along the lines of "If Axl wants to do an AFD style album, I'm there."

Hi HBK.

This is awesome news. I had no idea. I will definitely be buying it and it will be the first thing that I have had any interest in as far as rock and roll "band" style music goes in a long time. I haven't bought any music in... it' been a couple years at least. Although I have been more actively making my own music, which is a lot of fun and keeps me pretty immune to the effects of what I personally see as a drought.

This is going to be insanely cool, the ax man loves acdc, he is going to put his heart into it. It is such a monumental event, not only on his own journey as a musician (I'd imagine), but also in rock and roll history. Buckle up folks.

Well said. This could be incredible. Angus can still write killer songs and Axl is probably the only legend on that level to come after the '70s as well as a huge fan of the Bon era it seems. I could only imagine what Axl would do with an instrumental like this from their 2nd latest release:

2 Disc/2 Bands Is Good Idea

The last 3 or 4 ACDC albums have all been the same nothing of major quality more rock by numbers most of the songs don't get to see another tour yeah we know Angus has written some classic tunes back in the 70s and 80s with Malcolm  but him and Axl writing together doesn't float my boat their styles are completely different and most Acdc fans want straight forward Rock not some Elton John type  anthems mixed with Aerosmith

[poorlakers]

Ex,

I don't know about that - Maybe it would "float the boat" & be more than "rock & roll nonsense". Just my opinion.

Poor

Well, glad it isn't about you.  People tend to lean towards shit and then when questioned, their usual response is; well Axl doesn't do this and that and this and that and this... so on.

Just let shit be man, stand behind or next to the artist(s) you respect, or cared for at one point rather than throw stones.

ACDC fans were hating on Axl until they heard it firsthand, so, just let it go and if it happens, great.  Hope you like it, if you don't; all good just know the process on creating was amazing. 

We kind of tend to forget that everything is a process and if Axl is part of something, the process is more about the friendship and love of people involved than the need to create something loved and accepted by everyone.  To us, that's just a bonus.

Personally, the love we found within the ACDC family is priceless.

Remember,,, Axl Is Big FAN Of AC/DC From Bon Scott Era
