Rolling Stone:AC/DC Confirm Axl Rose Is New Lead Singer

This could definitely backfire for ac/DC if axle "refuses to play" cause he's too fucked up or has a pissy fit
but a hardcore fan or even a roadie could take his place for any road show and probably keep the spot throughout the tour . I'd just let members of the audience come up and audition during an extra long show if he left me hanging .

Come on ya'll AC/DC was a band for snotty nosed Jr high school boys from the get go and so was kiss for that matter. When it comes to "metal" I'm more of a Deep Purple, Led Zep. sort of guy.

Being slightly younger I got weened on Black Sabbath original lineup / Seger / Metallica but not past Ride the Lightning. :biggrin: Priest.

I noticed the John Prine reference Hank. King of Chicago in my book.
The first time I ever heard Zep's STH it was in the middle of the night around '76 maybe. Coming through on WLS on the AM dial. Not allowed on radio stations in my religiously repressive locale so when it came on we feared we might be summoning Satan. I was young and quite impressionable.

I agree, KISS blows but I love New York Groove and the Space Ace.
As a young lad I was exposed to all the old school goodness w/out the aid of the radio.
Argent
Head East
Nazareth
Trooper
Hot Chocolate
Wild Cherry
Mylon Lefevre
Mountain
Blackfoot
Marshal Tucker
et al.

On the heavier side
WASP
Pyledriver
Bathory
Slayer
Venom
Megadeth

...odd fact is that Jethro Tull won the first Metal Grammy.
How un rock and roll is naming a rock and roll award after Nana?

Axl rates somewhere below Bobby McFerren and above Spandau Ballet. Directly above.

Trooper? No?

Poison.

Poison.

Glam rockers killing rock and raping roll!

Yessir! Poison and Motley Crue too. I fuckin' hated Poison with a deep and abiding passion and don't get me started on Whitesnake.
For the record I love the glam of Slash / Duff / and Adler. Izzy Stradlin
is a bad ass as well.

Axl didn't deserve the band he was in or the cover / liner art.

Glam used to be cool.
The New York Dolls
T. Rex
The Sweet [very. yuge fan here]
Ziggy SD of course.
I say Ratt makes the cut but just.
WASP [that's right.] Blackie fuckin' Lawless [catch Decline of Western Civilization pt II]
and I think Dee Snider is a bloody fuckin' bad ass

The Sweet

Thank you Odin the all father for making me old enough to have seen and heard the real rock n' roll and not the lipstick bands. There are advantages to being a old fucker. Steppenwolf forever.
