Axl sound ok up there? Honestly never thought about this combo, but I could actually see A.R. pull it off....

[Yardstick]

My understanding from a guy in a pickup truck is that Axl sounds superb.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Olog-hai. I was surprised to see how well Axl Rose fit as their new lead singer, wouldn't have come up with that in a million years.

[Olog-hai]

I’ve seen video of live shows, and Axl’s voice as it is today is a surprisingly good fit. The band is tight too. Wonder who would step in on bass now, should they continue.

[HonkyTonkMan]

Great to hear. These guys are rock legends - cool to see them up there together making it happen.

No idea on bass - I really don't follow it close enough anymore. We should check with the guy in a pickup, I'm ok with the lineup if he approves!

Perhaps he's a descendant of Thomas Edison and inherited a large stake in GE?

Seriously, that's appalling. I am a life-long lover of music, and to me the greats are Copeland, Ravel, Gershwin, Porter, Sinatra, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Antonio Carlos Jobim. I liked rock & soul too: Buffalo Springfield, Rascals, Crosby Stills Nash Young, Moody Blues, Philadelphia sound & Motown.

But ACDC? It's music that I love.

[Yardstick]

Yeah well, it’s funny how musical taste is sprinkled around. It’s like some people have it and some people don’t. Ya know what I mean?

[minnesota_bound]

AC/DC is still alive???
“Shocking” ain’t it? : )

[jobim]

I'm not clear about what you mean. But I don't think it is an inborn trait, although I
believe a musical sense is inborn, to some extent. But by and large, quality can be learned
with exposure. Heavy metal can be seen as inferior to the types of music I listed.

You must have been a problem child, though some may think that you are off your rocker.

[Yardstick]

Wow, talk about a rear guard action. You’re like one of those Japanese soldiers from WWII that turns up on some island still manning his position 40 years after the fact.
