sad indeed, i thought your hearing can never get better than what it is,
on a happier note maybe an unplugged album could be on the card's,,,just a thought,,

AC/DC Unpluged, well there's a notion, I guess Nirvana did it and Lemmy did that slow Ace of Spades ad.
Good one for the suggestion box.
Johnson has done a remarkable job filling Bon Scotts shoes, maybe it's just time to stop what with Malcolm being gone and all.
One of my favourite bands.

Let's face it - Brian's voice has been shot since about 1988, and it has been totally shot and become virtually unhearable about 2005. The guy is fun, for sure, but he's supposed to be a singer after all.
ACDC / Axl Rose will sound like any combo made up for some sort of Royal and/or humanitarian festival, the Prince's Trust or so.

Fortunately this is now an option, anyone who has tickets bought through a UK ticket agency should have been offered the option of a refund. This option has to be exercised by 5th May (before any UK tour dates). I took them up on it, for Axl and other (personal) reasons. Just received this back from Ticketmaster:-

When I eventually start an AC/DC tribute band, I'm calling them The Brian Johnson Statement.

These go to eleven
I like him and think hes a great bloke. I have often wondered how he kept that level of performance up.
It must take its toll and clearly it has. Just standing on the stage with those monitors is a full on attack. If he wants any hearing left I fully understand his decision. he has given so much of himself already
I wish him all the very best

If you want to see a great fun tribute band, check out Dirty DC, a decent nights entertainment.

Can my Def Leppard tribute open up for you? We're called "Rick Allen's Left Arm".

Cool. There's an all-female tribute band here named Hell's Belles that makes a joyful noise.
Reminds me of a short-lived Portland band called Iommi Stubbs (Sabbath influenced, but not a Sabbath tribute band).
(I'm secretly hoping one of the Elvis impersonators gets famous enough that I can put together a viable tribute act, thus becoming the world's first Elvis impersonator impersonator.)

Yes we see Dirty DC on a regular basis, one of the tribs we never miss out on. Shame the l0older guy became ill but the youngster is coming along.

Years ago, and I do mean years probably 81/82 ish, an Aussie band called Cheetah supported Saxon, they had two female members fronting the band, and covered some AC/DC numbers in their set.
The whole gig was pretty unmemorable, we left after Saxon played 747 Strangers in the Night and went to the pub, it was that good!!!
