Axl Rose likely to front AC/DC for 10 concerts

New York (AFP) - Axl Rose is already generating excitement over a Guns N' Roses reunion, but a report says he has another project that could thrill even more fans -- fronting AC/DC.

The Australian heavy metal veterans halted a tour this month and said they would likely hire a guest vocalist as 68-year-old frontman Brian Johnson was at risk of completely losing his hearing if he kept performing.

A radio host in Atlanta, where AC/DC stopped its tour, said that he had spotted Rose in the city and that he was practicing with the band.

"It's all but a done deal that Axl will front AC/DC for the 10 remaining shows" in the United States, host Jason Bailey said on his show on rock station WNNX.

Representatives for Rose and AC/DC did not immediately comment on Thursday.

Rose, with his high-pitched but wide-ranging voice and emotional passion, led Guns N' Roses as the heavy metal band became a global but short-lived sensation after its 1987 debut album "Appetite for Destruction."

The band will reunite for the first time since 1993 with its original lineup -- including guitarist Slash, who frequently clashed with Rose -- next month for the Coachella festival in California and several other shows.

Johnson, known for his punishingly harsh vocal style, has reportedly voiced dismay at his swift departure from AC/DC.

US comedian and radio host Jim Breuer recently said he met with Johnson who felt "kicked to the curb" by his bandmates as he believed his hearing issues were not as serious as announced.

Best vocalists of all time though.....Eddy Vedder from Pearl Jam. Now his voice can make a girl get on her knees.... Yeah baby

AC/DC is the way that one describes electrical current :  "Alternating current" and "Direct current"..

Sexual Orientation

AS FOR Metallica's lead singer --  twas truly a tragic loss to the music scene when Kurt Cobain shot himself back in the 1990s.



IT WILL BE financial dynamite if Axl Rose fronts AC/DC..

ACCY DACCA is the most succesful Aussie rock band in history;  whilst Guns n' Roses are American rock royalty...

I think she missed out a word there, and meant to type "isn't that a pain to type?"

I thought Kurt Cobain was in Nirvana.

No idea what he's wittering on about tbh.

Wolfie doesn't understand anything I write as he can't think outside the bumble bee box.

Aaaarrgghh!!!!!!

AND I have a Metallica album around here somewhere, (they have been around since the 1980s)..

I had the name "Kurt" running around in my head there earlier, but Kirk Hammett is their lead guitar !

I had to check it up, but the lead singer is named James Hetfield..
