    A couple of clips where Izzy performs with Guns'n'Roses years after his departure. When you look at the other guitarists in the first clip and then Izzy, it's rather obvious that he's not in the least interested in looking impressive and cool in front of big rock audiences.

    (2006) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TycKxwS_vE

    (2012) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjSiJQqWCIY

    (2012) Here Izzy looks like Russ Ballard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH6JoFJXQcA

    This was also interesting. Slash, Duff (Velver Revolver) and Izzy performing a G'n'R track. It's weird how Izzy's guitar is louder than Slash's. His guitar is very prominent in the choruses. Or maybe the VR guy plays Izzy's part too and together they busy Slash here and there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xydtQEARP4

    I've always felt that the second verse in Pretty tied Up describes how Izzy felt about the band at the time. What he felt they had become or were about to become. Incidentally I've always thought that Izzy had nothing to do with Paradise City in terms of writing, but I saw a video recently where Slash says the "so far away" bit was Izzy's

Also, I would prefer it to be the original 5 who made the Appetite for Destruction album.
    I think his voice has gotten better in the last couple years compared to the awful concert everyone makes fun of when he was out of breath and couldn't sing.

    TBH, to me GNR is Axl and Slash. That's just the way I feel. Same for Aerosmith - Steven and Joe. I'm not saying the others aren't important but with GNR I feel like they had their chance to join but decided not to. The show must always go on, why stop the train for 1 or 2 people.

    Also, I think the UYI lineup is equally good and an underrated record.

    For me, this is like the old argument of no Journey without Steve Perry. Again, Steve decided he wanted to take a break. HIS choice. And again, you can't stop for just one person if everyone else wants to continue. So you get a new singer who does the part well. Or the argument of Lynyrd Skynyrd not being Lynyrd Skynyrd because of only one original member. They still rock live and they are still legally Lynyrd Skynyrd. Good enough for this guy.

    I go to these shows and have a blast. IMO I'm just not that picky about it being all original. If that were the case I would have never seen the Eagles without Don Felder. That said, as long as my faves are there, I'll be there, as in the case of if Aerosmith got rid of Joe Perry, I wouldn't be there.

    I'm not sure if this is an early April Fool's joke, but it's being floated about that Axl will replace Brian Johnson as the singer for AC/DC's remaining tour dates.

    NMB, I saw that on Fb too. Surely not! I can't think anyone would want that!

    Welcome to the Highway to Hell. (I can't picture this working out well!)

    To Angus Young,

    Since your brother Malcolm can't play anymore, and it looks like Brian Johnson won't be able to either, perhaps it's time to consider retiring the band. You've had an amazing run that has lasted over 40 years!

    Sincerely,

    Millions of AC/DC fans worldwide.

    I'm one of the people who is left holding tickets from the band's postponed dates. I think pairing up with Axl would be an interesting experiment. I don't know what frame of mind he's in these days though. Still mad? For awhile there, he was extremely erratic: not showing up for concerts, inciting riots when he did show up, etc.

    I saw this too and just seems strange to me. I thought Guns N'Roses were going on tour again too. I agree and think AC/DC should retire as well since Brian can't.

    I'm late on this but I was a lucky one who saw the band on one of their last shows before this went down.

    I love Axl's voice and if you've watched any of the recent footage from the reformed Guns, his voice is back and strong as ever and he's lost a lot of weight.

    But he isn't AC/DC. I'm more of a Brian era AC/DC fan anyway, so it's a no go for me.
