Man, Axl sounds pretty great when he's not running around out of breath.

Well, with that knackered leg of his, that shouldn't be a problem.

Axl is sounding great and I can't wait to see one of these shows in full. First one happens tonight I think.

it was and axl is actually really good with ACDC.

he also had a broken leg so he couldn't emulate his previous (good) concert in portugal where he fell on his rear end and stood on the floor for 10 minutes.

Is there any chance they do more shows with him on vocals (like a US tour) or are they just fulfilling obligations and calling it a day?

Well, he's just filling in for now. He will be doing a few rescheduled US dates as part of this tour, though.

What I think - Axl's personality doesn't fit with the band. He has no warmth, no jollity. With Brian, you felt like you joined a party. But with Axl, you're just watching a show. He can hit the high notes in style, and that's all AC/DC really needed for a short-term replacement. But I personally do not want to see him continue any longer than he has to.

Another thing - he only sounds good when he's screaming. When he uses his soft voice, it's like tossing a used dishcloth on the proceedings. See vids below for the contrast...

There is one definite positive to come out of this situation, though - the setlist is the best since 1985. No spoilers, but we haven't heard this much Powerage since the 2003 minitour! :cheers:

A ton of music videos (most of Brian's mid-to-late output!) and official live videos (Donington, No Bull, etc.) have been pulled from AC/DC's VEVO channel.Still some good stuff there and on their main channel though, so I'll take this opportunity to point them out:

Some videos have reappeared on acdcVEVO. According to an acdcfans.net member:

according to Sony it was a technical issue they got with Vevo a couple weeks ago, and not only with AC/DC but many other bands ... they were working on it last week to bring the videos back !

Stevie's finally released a brief interview:

https://www.facebook.com/acdc/videos/10154270692052930/

And it looks like Cliff is going to call it quits after the tour, with the Malcolm/Phil/Brian situation being the catalyst:

http://www.gulfshorelife.com/July-2016/Still-Rockin-in-Southwest-Florida-ACDC-Cliff-Williams-Brian-Howe-Steve-Luongo/

Angus and Stevie can certainly crank it out, but they'll lose a lot of legitimacy with Cliff not being there. Even for me, things are looking grim...

Had the pleasure of meeting Mr Stevie Young tonight. Long story short was at the hotel bar where the band may be staying during their time in NYC. There were a ton of eBay type folks outside with guitars to get signed and the hotel security had them behind a metal gate. I was upstairs at the bar hoping one of the guys would show up but to no avail. Went outside for a smoke and the eBay guys were to the right of the entrance so I went to the left. There was a gigantic guy wearing a Seahawks hat on the left side keeping an eye on things and as I glance to my left who do I see but Mr Stevie young. I asked if he would mind taking a photo and he politely declined while nodding towards the pile of scalpers/fans. A bit disappointed I had a smoke and just stood there thinking poo poo this didn't work out well. Stevie came over and gave me one of his guitar picks with rock or bust on one side and a replica signature on the other. Classy move by him, he could have done nothing and just enjoyed himself outside. I thanked him for the pick and asked if he minded a quick question or two and he said sure. I asked how live wire got into the set and he said that was something cliff requested. Going with the flow I asked if cliff was getting time for a bass solo and Philly and Stevie said "I fuckin hope so it will give me a night off" which was funny. I told him thanks for the memories and I hope this isn't the end of ACDC and he said "talk to the boss". I told him the boss won't return my calls and again thanked him for his time.

Sorry if this makes no sense I'm fooking drunk but was a cool couple minutes getting to meet the man who filled Malcolm's shoes on this last tour! Cheers and good f'n night!

In other news, Madison Square Garden is tonight, followed by Washington DC on Saturday, then the tour finale in Philadelphia next Tuesday:

They added another classic for the last show of the tour (and did a great job!), though nothing as rare as Touch Too Much or Live Wire this time...

AC/DC is at a crossroads now I guess...is Angus really going to replace Brian permanently with a tribute band singer? It would be kind of a shame if they did, this would have been the perfect farewell tour. I suppose we won't hear anything for a few years, AC/DC usually goes into hibernation for a few years after a long tour like this
