Well I watched it too and as objectively as I can and it sucked. I get that they had to have somebody sing the damn songs to finish the tour but Achwel? It's just too fuckin weird. Honestly, I sat thru about half the song and he sounds like Achwel's supposed to sound but it just doesn't work. He'll be lucky if the fans don't rip him to shreds.
I'm interested in seeing what Johnson has to say. Apparently he found out he was out of the band via Twitter and all that crap and the ban just shipped all his tour gear to his house. Which would kinda suck, walk outside and all your gig shit is laying in the driveway lol
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
Did they cut up all his caps
The fans won't rip him to shreds , they have bought the tickets what do you do.
Guy I work with is going to see them , always wanted to see them and spunked up the cash to finally see them.... Oh how we laughed
The whole thing is odd, you finally get your old band back together where you would think his priorities lay and then he does the acdc thing.
And Achwel ain't exactly the most stable person so the last thing his "band" needs is for him to go out and get booed every nite for a couple months. And what if he blows his voice out on this tour? What, GnR gonna get Brian Johnson to sing for them? Ooh, I got it - they could get Dave to fill in!
There isn't a them anymore , the drummers is in jail or something Malcolm can't remember being in the band and the bass player is you know what bass players are like ( easily replaced )
It's Angus and Johnson and now it's Angus and axl.
I got to say am surprised it's not Dave grohl I know it's not Dave growl and he doesn't have the range but he does seem to be the rock n roll prostitute of choice and will turn up to anything
Bet sammy applied , he was as big as acdc when he joined. The previous singers weren't as good as him and he would give CA/SH more number one albums than the previous singer.
There's one thing I know about Slappy - he can't sing other people's songs worth a shit. Now, whether he can sing any song decently is a matter of personal opinion, but I've got the Circle CD and he just butchers other people's songs.
Speaking of Slappy and other people and all that, my kid has been listening to 80s songs for about a year now, loves all of it including some of the new wave - maybe because she's into Panic At The Disco and their songs are heavily influence by a lot of it. Anyway, she's in her room blaring her music and Rick Springfield's I've Done Everything For You comes on and she knows all the lyrics and so I go in there in full Aging Imperial Wizard of Rock Knowledge and tell her Slappy wrote that song and she asks if Rick's version is much different and I realized I had never heard Sam's version. Turns out he used to play it all the time and then it went on one of his records and was a complete flop. So I look for his version and even though Rick or the producer only tweaked a few things, it's light years better than Sam's version. And not just because I'm used to hearing Rick sing it, Sam just sucks the life outta that song. And it's his damn song lol.
So yeah, Slappy up there trying to sing Dirty Deeds or whatever would definitely be worse than Achwel, which is saying a lot.
Blah blah blah ... I have the new sammy cd blah blah blah
Bwhahaha
Van halen were dead to me once I heard 5150, any van Hagar stuff I heard after that was by accident on the radio etc . But a friend of mine knows I am a who fan so he showed me sammy doing won't get fooled again ??
Fuck n hell there are no words to describe how horrible it was , it was like ........ Fuck knows.
Why why why in all that is sacred would you then post it
Man ,it's like that old gag about going down on a woman:
A woman's ass hole is like a 9v battery. You know your not supposed to; but sooner or later you're gonna lick it.
I am now gonna end up pressing that bloody video of won't get fooled again
Beware of Dog
You're like a brother from another mother to me Donnie but you are one of the least objective people I know when it comes to music. No matter how well Wolfie played on the last tour you objected because it wasn't Mikey.I thought that GNR with Angus on lead guitar was more than decent. It would have been even cooler if Slash would have played a little lead too but oh well.
I think Jesse James Dupree from Jackyl would have been a good choice but I think he's friends with Brian and probably would have said no based on that if the rumors about the way they dumped him are true. I imagine there was some bad blood between Angus and Brian before the split that lead to this.
Well, actually The Clash went downhill the day they kicked Topper out of the band. And the Ramones were never quite as good after DeeDee left. Pansy Division only really ever had two core members, so if they swap a drummer or a second guitarist, it doesn't really affect the band all that much.
Ok, you got me there, lol. I ain't never gonna accept Wolf in VH.
But...I stand by my statement regarding Achwel singing AC/DC songs. He sounds just like Achwel so if people like hearing him sing they'll be happy with him replacing Brian. But to me it sounds kinda shitty.
Not exactly. From all I've listened to of Achwel singing lately he sounds pretty much like he used to, at least to me but I was never a fan anyway. And I don't really care who's singing for AC/DC because I wouldn't go to one of their shows anyway. I like them - I'm just not a huge fan. It just seems and sounds like a really odd choice for the band, picking Achwel. But if he's some kind of super star outside of America then I guess it makes sense.
