Axl confirmed as new singer for AC/DC tour (June 1, 2016: US dates announced)

12 Songs from rehearsals

At some moments it's like they built a time machine and brought 80's Axl to front them  
Honestly, I wouldn't have imagined Axl had that much power left in his voice, and i say that even knowing that the last GNR concerts were some of the best in many many years (voice wise)
Quoting other posters, what a great time to be a fan

Hopefully Angus and co didn't lure Axl deep into their web of diabolical satanism and convince him to sell his soul to the devil in return for the restoration of his 80s vocals.
My only concern with Axl playing with AC/DC is that the peer pressure from his heroes and idols might have been enough to convince him to delve into the dark arts and black magic of the occult and satanism like AC/DC has done for their entire career.
Historically, Axl never needed to resort to a deal with Satan for success, fame, talent, and record sales. He did it all on his own. But now, I hope it isn't coming from the Prince of Darkness. The Ancient Serpent, the Prince of this world, will give a person all the fame, power, and glory of this world in return for the damnation of one's soul in eternal hell fire.
I'm not super religious, but I've lived long enough to know that God is real, justice is real, and evil is real. The Devil is real, and so I've been praying for Axl.

Dude! you are completely bonkers and we are all now dumber for having read your moronic rhetoric. You can't claim to prove God anymore than I can. You notice with these nut bars it's always about Satan in the music? it's dumbfounding to me.

So what time have they started lately

Portugal is one of these countries where kids stay up late and dinner is not at 6pm like in many other countries in Europe. Their soccer matches can start as late as 9.45pm.

It'd be quite funny really if the second coolest gig in recent memory started before a normal league game

Dude, i'm italian, european and I usually eat around 8 pm (even later)...maybe i'm not a classic case, but i literally don't know anybody eating at 6 pm and i traveled all europe ...maybe some 80 years old

Chill my friend. I met the King Of Hell at the Salute to Supernatural convention and he's a really cool guy. Even told me that he loved me. Even gave him a nice warm HUG.

Fuck.

Good to finally hear they are planning Euro dates.

But...

... he sings like he has for the last 15 years, and then he sings like he does now rehearsing with another band

Either he's gonna fuck up his voice for good after these AC/DC dates, or he's gonna have to sing like that for the rest of his career.

I mean, c'mon, what the fuck ?

This FINALLY proves there's nothing wrong with his voice, it was all a vocal technique issue, he's been holding back for 15 years ...

Dunno how to feel about that !

He didn't even go all out on the ChiDem studio stuff !!!

Maybe and just maybe it has to do with the lack of a real classic hard rock guitar on Chinese Democracy stuff, maybe the chords, the bluesy side brings that kind of vocals in him.
Maybe the new sound he was looking for brought the other kind of vocals.

So nice to see the overwhelming positive comments under this video too.  He sounds amazing, good luck to them (and prayers for axl's voice)

[JAEBALL]

I WISH Axl wasn't sitting down for these ....

Him running around for some of these songs would be soooo good.

I hope and pray I get to see him with angus in the fall.

Anyone know what time they hit the stage? Anyone doing updates?

Anyone know what time they hit the stage? Anyone doing updates?

No, we don't know that but anytime soon and we'll be looking for Periscope streams.

Anyone know what time they hit the stage?

Already answered:

The opening act starts at 7:30 P.M. (Lisbon time. I think it's GMT) So I guess AXL/DC will take the stage around 9 or 9:30 P.M.

I guess the important info sometimes gets lost in the discussions about religion and so on...

Sorry in advance if this has been asked, but if someone makes a thread about the show, should they do it here, or use this thread, or in the side projects section? Personally, I'd love to hear updates or have links to the periscope, etc., like folks do here for the GnR shows.
