Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2024
- This is my concert review of ACDC live in 2024 . On this night Angus Young Rocked But Brian Johnson Flopped. ACDC are on their PWR UP tour 2024 and played a live show in front of 80.000 people in Dresden, Germany.
The concert took place on the 16th of June 2024. In this concert review and reaction I discuss how the sound was, how the band performed and give it my rating.
Thanks for watching and tell me if you have seen ACDC live and how it was?

Thanks again for watching and let me know what you think.
Brian Johnson is 76 years old....and he still gives it his best
yes he does, thanks for watching
..... But.... Its not good enough anymore when you pay 200-300 a ticket...
@@davechapman5815 Nobody force you to go!
@@davechapman5815£164 from wembley but ok....
If I’m 76 years old and can walk across that stage it’s a miracle. Let’s give credit where due…
Yes, Brian's voice is not what it was, but he is 76 years old and still rocking! You should just be grateful to see him perform.
Yes and I am so grateful that I gave them 8 out of 10 which I think is pretty good. thanks for watching
Not if he isn't performing well. If Barry Sanders came out of retirement and couldn't rush for more than 2 yards in a game, would we just be "lucky" to have gotten to see him? If you can't perform at a high level, lower your ticket prices and I'll lower my expectations. Love seeing the legacy acts, but only if they can still bring it.
It's torture to see him perform like this & really damaging the bands reputation as one of those bands whose singer can no longer sing, like sing really poorly. It's unacceptable & age should not come into the conversation. Forget the age & focus on the quality of the product versus the price of the tickets. Not cheap & it's not outrageous to expect to hear a singer that can..um hold a note & sing in time.
@@gunlean7738 He was bad on this show (also on Powertrip), but I just checked footage from other shows and he was pretty good! I guess he just has a bad night once in a while.
I was in Seville
Brian still rocks
What a bloke
We salute you Brian
Great to hear. Thanks for watching
I went to their third gig of the tour, here in Italy: it's been the best concert of my life
Brian sang really good, yeah, they are struggling with Thunderstruck, Angus too, but it's not a song that ruins a whole awesome show.
Also, i think there are a lot of people like me who, more than basic hits like Thunderstrck, were excited by songs like RIff raff, Sin City, Rosie, Let There Be rock, etc.
and they were briliant!
greetings✌
Don't get me wrong, I personally like these other songs like Riff Raff, Rosie (one of my all time fav song) and Let There be Rock. And actually because he started the concert off really well then I was sort of shocked that it was so bad in Thunderstruck, Hells Bells and Highway. I heard about that gig in Italy from others that he was good so maybe this was just an off day in Dresden. Thanks for watching
Well at least they arent as bad as Motley Crue.
🤘
Black Ice was the last really good tour... the rock or bust tour wasn't good either with Chris slade unable to keep good time and brian really unable to do it... on this tour the rythm section is really good but Angus's guitar tone is pretty shrill and cold a. It sqonky really doesn't sound like Marshal tube fizz and brian sounds aweful
@@Diesel0807When Axl filled in for Brian he did amazing.
At least Crue acknowledge the audience. AC/DC never do!
@@CrueLoaf Crue were fine until they went against their contract in 015..
For a 76 years old man that has sung screaming his heart out his whole life and always taking it to the limit he is doing well.
🤘
Look what happens there:
Brian is 77 years old, with many serious health problems.
BUT , as I believe for all these LEGENDS, the Rock is theirs, they invented it, they created it, they choose whether they stop or not! We have to follow them and, if necessary, to listen to them with the ears of our memory!
For those about to Rock, we salute you 🤘
Yes and as long as people show up to watch then of course they keep going. I loved the concert but he was just in a worse state than I expected.
What are his health problems?
@@martyevans1 serious hearing problems…He came close to a total hearing loss ..!
What's really sad is that the state of modern music leaves people clamoring for rock singers who are pushing 80 to climb on stage and perform. A 77 year old guy still performing in a band would've seemed like an absolute joke back in the day. Hello? What did/does your old grandad's voice sound like when he answers the phone, let alone if he were attempting to sing Hells Bells?
Brian deserves respect for getting up on that stage and shredding his throat out at nearly 77 years old. Cut him some slack we are there to say goodbye.
People are gonna want the hits there’s no way around that. But Brian kills it on songs like Stiff Upper Lip. If they reworked the setlist and included songs that were more within this vocal range it wouldn’t be so bad. There’s a few shows here and there where he can nail some of the hits like highway to hell and thunderstruck but songs like have a drink on me and shoot to thrill need to be cut
Makes sense that they include songs which he feels good about singing. But we want the HITS! Thanks for watching
I think if they lowered the key or rearranged them slightly he'd most likely be able to nail them well. And i dont thijk people mind especially at their age if they changed the key even by half a semitone or a tone
@@Alex-ey9jl exactly. I watched Dokken play last week. He lost his upper range completely and was singing an octave down and it sounded SAD. I personally lost my high range due to thyroid cancer and getting my whole neck fused. My vocal chords are held together by staples now. I retune music sometimes 9 half steps down to meet my vocal range. Don Dokken should do the same. He could do it. He had spinal fusion but not total thyroidectomy like I did. I would rather retune stuff down 2-4-5-9 half steps than sing a full octave down.
@@chrisw5742 yes i agree i think theres a bit of a stigma about it but in reality i dont really mind if artists do it if it helps their vocal range and if it helps them deliver/perform the song better then so be it but yes i agree the songs should be rearranged massively
@@metalandrockzone I personally wouldn’t mind not seeing some of the hits like shoot to thrill and have a drink on me. I’d rather them play songs that work within his range and kill it on a great performance. I mean it’s AC/DC. They have a lot of beloved songs they still don’t play that they can pull from
As the concerts go on and more and more shows are happening I think that Brian has gotten better….the first half dozen shows or so is really ironing out the wrinkles, I agree that maybe AC/DC is in their last tour…it’s hard to fathom but we and they are not getting any younger. I respect AC/DC and all they stand for and I’ll surely cry my arse off when they decide to retire but I can honestly say that there will never be another Hard Rock n Roll band like this. All hail AC/DC!! Thank you guys past and present because without you we wouldn’t have had such a great time and the bands that were influenced by you.
Yes hopefully he gets better as the tour progresses, I would just think that guys in bands like this would have made sure beforehand that they get to their absolute best possible vocal shape but maybe that takes more of their voice away eventually. Thanks for watching
It's an expensive iron
The funny thing is that when most of the classic rock bands where in their prime, they only toured every few years,now when their much older, they all seem to be on tour every year, and the older they get the worse the performance, singing Rock is not easy when you’re young, forget about it after 60, few can pull it off. I believe leaving the fans with memories of great shows,not geriatric gymnastics, depressing
yes it has changed a lot, its multiple tours pr album and the older you get the more toll it takes on you. Thanks for watching
It's economics. They used to book the lower cost tours to support the albums. Now people listen to the songs in you tube and don't really buy albums that much any more so they raised the prices on the concerts to support the. Music labels and they have to tour frequently to make the money. Also there are not that many new bands that can attract full stadiums of fans. So the brand names like AC DC, Rolling stones Deep Purple get the call to go in your frequently.
Let me say something if I may, the physical Instruments can get damaged, but one can repair it. The human voice is an instrument, however most of the times it cannot be repaired, either due to vocal chord damage or simply by aging.
Yes totally agree on that and singers get the shortest straw in a band, guitarists, bassists and even drummers don't have to fight father time in the same way. Thanks for watching
@@metalandrockzone Yes, and my opinion is that the singer that can no longer perform with his voice, shouldn't, after all people are paying serious money and its not fair to them.
@@carminelombardi9575 well they can't do that too long as eventually people will stop going I guess
@@carminelombardi9575 100% correct. This is the first tour I'll be missing in 40 years because the prices are ridiculous for a band with a singer whose voice is shot.
You’re right, Brian had to fight when singing Thunderstruck. But in Dresden the crowd was flopping. Thousands of fans standing and making smartphone vids.
Well that is what happens at every concert now but I think it is also up to the band to get the crowd to jump and sing so they leave their phones in their pockets! Thanks for watching
German crowds are so boring. Saw Metallica in hamburg and was shocked. Much livelier in England.
Theyve been part of my life since 1976...seen both Bon and Brian. Even if every review said theyre shit I dont care...gonna see them one last time( Maybe?) in Dublin....😁😁👍
yes this was my thinking, i had to see them one last time. thanks for watching
Well, if he did struggle, I hardly think "flopped" is a fair term to use. Let's see how you're doing when you're 76.
What term would you have used if you were me to describe how I felt he did? Thanks for watching
@@metalandrockzone Perhaps 'struggled' or 'endured a tough time' etc.? 'Flopped' has a sniping, almost gloating tone to it, but here's a guy who's 76 and doing his best to keep it real, unlike most singers starting to struggle with age.
I think Brian is doing good for his age, yea he has his ups and downs. Not all the concerts he does at his age is gonna sound like he used to but he has gotten better the more they played though and I’m happy about that
Yes I see many of these "older bands" and often they get better as the tour progresses. Thanks for watching
Brian Johnson é uma lenda, um vocalista excepcional que sempre deu tudo de si desde o 1 dia que entrou no ACDC e continua fazendo isso hoje aos 76 anos!
🤘
I think it's not their fault the sound and screens don't sync. The speed of sound and speed of light is different. If they tried to delay the screens to sync with you 200 yards away, the delay would be different for someone 100 yards away. I went to the first Who retirement tour (I think it was back in the 80's) and I was shocked how out of sync the giant screens were.
Yes as I say in the video I don't know how this works exactly but I have seen bands like Metallica , Rammstein and others manage to get this to work somehow and I never noticed this much "unsync" before this show on any other band. Thanks for watching
They are still an amazing live band . Brian gives it all he has , he has smoked a long time , I am 52 and I couldn’t do what he does .
Yes I agree, this was a good concert by a great band, thanks for watching.
@@metalandrockzone Thanks for the report , I am in Mississippi and they are a great band but I know their time is getting short , but they have give it their all for over 50 years and Angus still amazes me with his energy .I hope they come do a few shows in the states but I feel like this will be their last heavy tour .
yeh give Brian credit still good as always he is getting much older now good on him still going for acdc.
🤘
Totally bullshit. I was at the concert in Amsterdam and Brian was in good shape. Respect for this man still performing at the age of 76, knowing all the issues he had the last couple of years! And, like other suggested over here, NO Axl Rose please! He has not the AC/DC DNA.
Thanks for watching, happy to see he was good in Amsterdam because he was not good in Dresden
@@metalandrockzoneI think an important difference is that I was standing at the very front row, so I could see Brian singing in realtime, not from a video screen
Clean your ears
@@marcos_music_channel Hahaha love how you're always around to defend the band
It was OK in Amsterdam, but a catastrophe in Dresden. An INDUSTRIAL catastrophe.
Excellent review.
I subscribed and liked most as your English speaking accent is awesome. Plus, the bright, fair-minded, humble, dry-wit, and positive energy makes the content very engaging. I look forward to viewing more videos here. Have an awesome day.
🙏🏽✌🏽💙 from Minnesota, USA
Wow thank you for your kind words and happy to have you on board!
Thunderstruck has very high vocals. You can't expect Brian at 76 years old to hit those notes. I was at Powertrip and thought that was the end. Be grateful you get to see them one last time.
Yes i was grateful and gave them 8 out of 10 for the performance so I think that is pretty good
How was Powertrip? I wanted to see that but couldn't get there in the end.
@@MikePhillips-pl6ov at the time, it felt like attending an historic event. I don't know that we'll see anything like it again. AC/DC played great but Brian was struggling. I was in the pit and could see it on his face. That's why I thought it would be their final show. I've heard some of the UA-cam videos on the current European tour, and he has vastly improved. Maybe he just needed a few dates to warm up. It's great to hear that he's singing better, but I can't imagine him continuing after this tour.
Thank you for sharing this video! Informative as always! Initially I was too disappointed when the Czechs didn't manage to bring them to Prague, then I had to choose between Dresden and Bratislava. No one of my friends was willing to follow so in the end I said to myself "f*ck it I wont go". I saw AC/DC live, 24 years ago in Vienna and it is one of these bands that I really wanted to see once again before they decide to quit.
You should have joined us! But I think they will come around next year. This hasn't been announced as a final tour so I wouldnt be surprised they come again.
@@metalandrockzone Yes I should have, but then I booked tickets to take the family in Serbia for a month. Will be back to Prague at the end of June.
Funny that some people think Brian sounds worse and worse because I think the opposite. Brian struggled hard on last year show. It was PAINFUL to watch, and hear! And at the start of this 2024 tour, too. But it looks like he learned how to use his, now old, voice on the last shows I've heard. Mostly using a bit more his cleaner voice and using his breathing differently. It's not perfect, and it will never be like before, BUT now at least he looks happy on stage, (it was not really the case last year and on the first 2024 dates). I think he should just stop singing Thunderstruck and one or too other songs because he just can't do them justice anymore (and replace them with more suited ones). But I feel it's "okay" on the majority of the show. And again, I was thinking Brian should stop when I saw last year's concert and the first ones of 2024. But I think he improved.
yes maybe they just need to adjust the program more or figure out a way around these things, I saw Whitesnake 2 times in past 6-7 years, Coverdale barely sang but he had great guys on the band that picked up the slack and it was amazing to be honest.
Good points I noticed how he changed his style and even the timing of the words to give him more time to breathe it's definitely an improvement. Brian has struggled with thunder struck in years and years. Look at the DVD stiff upper lip from early 2000s he is struggling worse there on thunderstruck than I've ever seen him. He is even kneeling down and looks like his face is gonna explode and he still can't get it right. Or maybe the kneeling down part was on shoot to thrill where he is also really struggling on that show. I can't remember exactly because it's a long time since I watched that DVD but I remember it being bad.
Arghhh!!!!! The fans are just grateful to see them in concert, Brian is 76
, please the man alone, he is giving his absolute best and the fans love him.
🤘
The synchronization of the screen and sound is only possible at one point due to the different speeds of sound and light. In large venues, there is a main sound system hung on the stage and several distributed systems (called delay lines) that need to be delayed. Otherwise, people close to the delay line will hear the sound from it first, and then, after some time depending on the distance, the sound from the stage. Therefore, the signal at the delay line must be precisely adjusted according to the distance.
The only solution is to have separate screens hung at the delay lines with the video signal delayed accordingly to match the sound from the delay line. However, if there are large screens on the stage that are visible from a great distance, even from behind the delay line, it is physically impossible to synchronize them. It is similar to seeing lightning and then hearing the thunder afterwards.
I have seen pretty big bands like Metallica and Rammstein manage to get this to work somehow, i get it that it is challenging but in this case it was just so much off that it was hard to watch. but thanks a lot for sharing
I think they are sounding great, hope they come to the states!
I am sure they will, thanks for watching
I have been AC/DC concerts 2009 and 2015. Both times Brian was only person from band that says something to the audience and that was some lines like Lets get party started, lets rock and maybe You know this one. That is not band that say much when they play gigs. They come to stage, play their set 😂😂and then go quick away.
yes it was the same when I saw them 2015
Everyone as an opinion , and I cant wait to see them at wembley this Wednesday. I'm not expecting brilliance like I did in 81 86 91 but I just appreciate the joy and pleasure these men have brought to my life ( well the 2 that remain) . Never ever ever will there be a rock band like it , and the majority appreciate this as the ticket sales for this year power up your show . . Rock on guys , we will always love you .
Hope you enjoy them at Wembley, magnificent stadium
We are all fighting the inevitable of life.🤘
🤘
Dude he sounds fucking awesome, he’s nearly 80 ffs
Well he did not at that gig but maybe he just had an off night
I saw them in Munich. It was a great gig
Yes this is a great show
I saw them in 2009, and was hands down the best concert I’ve seen. I’ve seen multiple clips of this tour, and I’m pretty sure I won’t spend the money for tickets if they tour the States again. I’ll keep that incredible 2009 memory. 😎🤘🏽
I saw them 2015 and it was great back then. Thanks for watching
@@metalandrockzone I forgot to thank you for the review. It’s the first solid one I’ve seen on this tour.
I was at the concert also. My thoughts, firstly it was very easy to get closer to the front, we were 150m from stage with wiggle room. Sound, amazing, agreed. Angus, on fire. Backing boys, tight and focussed. Brian, i thought he did better than you reported, im a Bon Scott era fan and i thought he did well on those era songs like RiffRaff, Sin city, Let Therr Be Rock. Set list … was missing Bad Boy Boogie and Hell Aisnt a bad place to be… crowd interaction, was missing but this was never one if their strengths. Overall i thought it was surprisingly good, also giving it 8/10
Yes felt he did great on these songs you mention and to be honest on most but maybe 5-6 songs I can't say he was bad, it was just the 5-6 songs that us the plebs like the most :) it might be that me watching him on an out of sync screen also made it worse than if I would be closer to the front. Thanks for watching
Dude,they came out of retirement to party for you.
Who gives a fuck if some stuff is a little off.
Saw them in Amsterdam Arena which is the most terrible venue for the sound but i did not care.
THE BOYS ARE BACK.😃
it is not like I gave them 5 or something, I gave this concert 8 out of 10 :)
Malcom Young have sayed many many years ago to Brian Jhonson that more music and not so much talk on stage. Maybe that is their way to do shows
🤘
I saw AC DC in the 80's, 90s and noughties. We all love these guys but I'm not going to pay huge money to see them especially when Brian is struggling. Watched a number of recent tour clips and he just hasn't got it anymore. If this was one of my top 5 bands sure I would pay the money. Lovely bloke and great band and I wish them all the best. Fantastic to see them still going out there giving the fans what they want, die hard rockers and they have my full respect.
I am very happy they did this tour as I loved that last album but that night there in Dresden was just off unfortunately but people are telling me he did better in Austria yesterday.
If I could do that when I’m past three quarters of a century old I’d be pretty flippin chuffed 🫡
same here
I think you've gave a very fair review...its obvious Brian is struggling with certain tracks but overall it appears the majority of the songs and gigs he's doing pretty good and looks like hes having a blast. Got 3 shows coming up(2 at Wembley and Dublin)and I'm pretty bloody excited but do absolutely accept we are getting a somewhat "diluted" version of the band which I find acceptable considering the reasons as to why. Great channel mate👍
Wow you are a hardcore fan man! 3 gigs :) great stuff. Thanks for watching and enjoy the shows!
As big of a AC/DC fan as I've been since the mid 70's I'm glad the last time I saw them they were still on top. Houston, Tx Toyota Center 2011. RIP BON & MALCOLM
Yes I saw them 2015 and it was great back then as well. Thanks for watching
I think this might be a small tour, they even said when Power Up came out that they would only be doing big shows, let everyone get a last glimpse and for them to say their goodbyes, give it hell Brian, you've made it on this earth 1 year longer than my father and you are still trying to sing in a band, go out the way you want to go out .
Yes the shows are big for sure, 80.000 there! Thanks for watching
Off to see them next week at Wembley for the 6th time!!
Enjoy!
Brian rocked
You were there?
I disagree. I was at both concerts in Dresden and Brian sounded great - better, in fact, then on some past tours.
Where were you located? close to the stage? he sounded great on many songs but not on the biggest hits to me
Back in the 1990's in Metal Edge Magazine Brian said the band would stop before the "aawwww, bless em" stage. Yet here we are. Bass player is not a good fit. Brian can't hit the notes or keep the pace. Amd Angus isn't playing up to par. Sad. Just sad. 😢
🤘
I was at this concert and totally agree. Also there were major gaps between each song which lost the energy I felt. 4th time seeing them, and last.
Yes those gaps were also there I recall in 2015, in some way it is authentic to see a band breathe and prepare between songs but also a total vibe killer when there are 80.000 people in attendance. Thanks for watching.
A pretty good review, agreed with most of what you said, I think you were a bit harsh on Brian. He managed to hold up with most songs, I think the only parts I REALLY noticed he was having a problem were Thunderstruck and maybe a bit in the end. Angus was absolutely amazing, what a force of nature that guy is.
Yes maybe I am making too much of it and also I think it might affect my judgement that it was out of sync on the video screens which makes you experience this differently. But yes Angus is like a nuclear bomb, the sound of his guitar must have been heard in Poland! Thanks for watching
The reason I never went after following the band since 1978 , I said my goodbyes at Wembley on the last tour 😢
🤘
I was in Dresden on the 19th. yes some songs were a bit slower but what a good experience. Good sound also.
Yes great sound there. Impressive to be honest as it is not easy on these mega concerts to get that.
You can't expect them to perform at the standard of the old days at their age. At least they ain't miming like Kiss. Even legends get old. I would like to see you try to sing on stage at 69.
I would love to be on stage at 69, not sure there will be happening though. Thanks for watching
Brians sounding better.than earlier shows
Interesting, maybe he is just hitting his stride! Thanks for watching
Playing all their songs at half speed.... They should call it the Power Down tour....
😀
Rob Halford is still killing it
Saw him in March, he was pretty good yes. Thanks for watching
He struggles on some of the songs though
This cover band of AC/DC need to give it up. It absolutely appalling to continue like this.
They haven’t performed live since 2016, let Brian go through more tours he’ll get stronger as it goes on
Hopefully that will be the reality
@@metalandrockzone It’s happened with other bands
Don't be so fucking stupid.... He's literally dieing on his feet...
ACDC don't have anything left to prove. If they retired tomorrow they would/will have bowed out gracefully. I certainly would respect them for it.
Brian actually looks frustrated that he cannot reach the high notes and understandably so.
Angus guitar playing is still awesome. They've rocked harder than most in this world and their music will continue to echo through the universe long after they're gone.
🤘
your the first person to run them down on the tour so far can't wait to see them at Wembley 🔥🤘🔥
Well I wouldn't call it run it down, I gave them 8 out of 10 which I think is pretty good. I am sure you will enjoy them at Wembley, such a magnificent stadium!
@@metalandrockzone seen the best at Wembley an they gave their best 🔥🤘🔥
Not a fan or men dying their beards/hair and Angus doesn't need to prove himself or change the unique person/musician he is and always was BUT......
Damn his white hair reminds me of how o l d I am.
yes it is a reality check to see him like this!
Could the screen being out of sync be a case of light travelling faster than sound? I can see why that would be quite off putting.
Yes that is for sure the science but I have seen Metallica and others manage to make this work much better, there will always be some delay I guess but in this gig it was just so much that it was hard to enjoy.
It pains me to say but if I put honesty before loyalty I have to agree. All I can do is just hope beyond hope it gets better.
This band changed my life and will always be special but maybe It would indeed be better if Brian and Angus got together with Cliff and Phil for a couple of festivals with a more ability appropriate set list every now and then.
Ramped up second hand ticket sales stop many of old school fans going to gigs these days anyway.
Yes maybe some of these bands could do these festival rounds and a shorter show but I am not sure they want to go out unless there is big bucks involved. Thanks for watching
I’ve never seen ACDC hoping they make it to the USA soon, I’m assuming the whole thing was general admission?
There was gold circle
There was a golden circle, it sold out in some 10 minutes. So I would advice that you are online exactly when the sale starts and I am pretty sure they will do the US as well. Thanks for watching
General Admission eh then Times Radio should get him on their channel as an expert on the World Political landscape....They've had everyone else 😩
I saw them in Vienna yesterday and Brian did better
Thats great to hear. Maybe he just had an off day there in Dresden. Thanks for watching
Thanks mate for your honest review of AC-DC l have seen the band 5 times and missed out this time as they didn't come to Scotland where I live, I like you was concerned about Brian .
Thanks for watching
I totally get were your coming from but these guys don’t mime and rock as good as you could expect for guys there age .
Yes they keep it honest, I appreciate that
Thank you for the video and review.
Brian sounds terrible. I saw videos from earlier in the tour and he sounded quite bad the first 2 or 3 then got better, but here he's *shockingly* bad on that version of Thunderstruck. It's really sad to see the band (what's left of them) play when sounding so bad (and yes only Brian is the one sounding this awful). They were the greatest band in the world. It's over - even if they are still playing, or Angus is - this is not AC/DC anymore. They should have quit while ahead. And agree with those who say Yes Brian is old now etc but also not right to charge a fortune (let alone ANYTHING) for performances like this, when they - or in this case, he, can't do it anymore.
Thank you for your honest review, esp. considering most fans don't want to hear the truth about them.
Yes he was for sure not having his best day there, I think it is hard for those guys to stop, firstly we spay and show up, secondly it is not like they have other careers and having been a rockstar for decades probably makes it such a big part of your identity that it is hard to let go of it. Thanks for watching
Too bad. I absolutely love AC/DC but this would kill me. Glad I saw them with both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson in their prime. Hopefully it was just a bad night for him. On a sidebar, I just saw Uriah Heep and their singer Bernie Shaw (68 years old) sounded friggin incredible.
Love your videos metal bro, you just got a new subscriber 🤘🤘
Thanks for subscribing, saw Uriah Heep 2 years ago and again this year. Bernie is incredible, his voice is so strong.
David Coverdale of Whitesnake is worse sadly & he had a wonderful voice, now completely shot. I grew up as a teenager in the late 70s & early 80s, now aged 60 but still a fan of those bands I grew up listening to & then going to watch live. I was a massive fan of AC/DC, I grew up with the Bon Scott era, which is still my favourite period, I didn't get the chance to see them live back then but I have seen them several times over the years since, the 1st time was in 1981 age 18 when they headlined the monsters of rock festival, now Download, I was also able to take one of my sons nearly 30 years later to see them headline again at Donnington in 2012.
I would rather remember those bands as they were rather than as they are now!
Yes but what David Coverdale has done has worked out in the way that he has these 2 keyboard players who are amazing singers, specially one of the Dino Jelusick and they pick up what he has no chance of doing. So the show doesn't suffer. Saw Whitesnake 2 times in recent years with this setup and it was great.
I think songs without such high notes would be better for Brian now. Thunderstruck and hells bells he's struggling but whole lot of Rosie and riff raff are more level in vocal range. Maybe I'm talking bollocks but it's just a thought
No I agree, and on the songs you mention he does great
What’s your opinion on Def Leppard? They have always been one of my favorites since the early 80s. I’ll always have def Lepp as my all time favorite band. They just are amazing musicians all around.
Saw DL 3 times the last 6-7 years, always a killer show and one of those I wouldnt want to miss if they come around.
What do they expect brain is 76 years old they do not say anything about McCartney Jagger daltrey rod Stewart old rockers pass there sell by date they still tour brain Johnson is far a better singer then any of then
I’m guessing you haven’t been to a Stones show this tour? Saw them last week 16th time and Mick was incredible. Everyone you named aren’t in the same ballpark as him
I saw Glenn Hughes recently, he was amazing, saw Jagger 2 years ago and he was great but I think Brian's "problem" is that he sings in a way that is hard to maintain at this age. Thanks for watching
Brain Johnson rocks!🧠
last AC/DC show I went to was in the 90's. Razor's Edge tour I think. It was when Rudd came back. It was good.
I don't think I'll go to see them anymore though
I had to see them one last time, maybe I will say that again in 2 years though...
Watered-down band w/just Brian & Angus.
🤘
"Long guitar solo"??? Have you ever seen an AC/DC show? Check out Live at Donnington!!!
Yes saw ACDC in 2015 but never watched Live at Donnington, will check it
His voice on the pre-gigs to that tour was far worse than during the gigs now. He might have had a cold or something like this.
Yes could have been that there was something bothering him. Thanks for watching.
I think if you have waited until this point to critically review ACDC you are in the wrong job
They aren't likely to come around again especially to less than ideal coinditions like this venue
Well I started the channel 2 years ago so didn't have a chance to cover them until now.
Is this tour their Swan Song?
I think they would have announced it as such if it was
Feel sorry for People going to the Dublin gig, there must be a high chance of this gig being cancelled the way Brian's voice is struggling big time on tour. This tour with Brian should never have happened IMO. AC/DC just retire and enjoy it. You deserve it.
People are saying he did better in Vienna last night so maybe something has been bothering him health wise
Lots of people didn't like Axl Rose when he stepped up to help them finish the tour dates Axl Rose killed it can hit the high notes no problems and after his foot injury he rocked the stage 🔥🔥🔥🔥 brain Johnson is doing his best and got custom made hearing aids and yes AC/DC slowed down the music but sadly brain doesn't have it anymore just the facts I'm sure he is very happy to be back in the band touring but he is not 💯 percent I'm really think this will be the last run for AC/DC maybe a festival or a few off shows but no large tours after this !!!!
But I will go see AC/DC They are legends and worth seeing before there gone then it will be just a bunch of poser wannabe tribute bands that's what is up with music today instead of making a new band with original music nope let's do a tribute band 😂😂 sad sauce for sure I can not count how many AC)DC tribute bands are out on the market that's how many I will countuie to support the real bands and new bands that right and record their own music
Yes it is hard to see what will take over when these bands call it a day and that is for sure one reason everyone could see them while they are still around. Thanks for watching and totally agree with you on Axl, he knocked it out of the park when he toured with them.
I don't think Brian can barely hear anymore.
Yes he has had issue with that
Brian has had vocal issues since the mid eighties. You can't scream your tits off and expect to deliver every night. Back in Black was 44 years ago!
Judas Priest are the exception, but Halford has great vocal technique. He doesn't murder his vocal cords the way Brian does.
No it of course wears out when you sing this way. Thanks for watching.
Sadly, Brian is in his late 70s, and has health issues.
Am I glad he's still rocking with the band?
YES!
Am I naive enough to expect him to sound like he did in his 80s heyday!
Heck no!
Thanks for watching
Brian’s vocal abilities had a short life span. His best years in ACDC vocally were 1980-1985.
I think you got a point, this voice profile is hard to keep for a long time. Thanks for watching
Wrong From 1980-2003 after that on Black Ice and ROB they tuned down from E to Eb so it was less stress on Brian's voice this tour AC/DC is playing in E tunning
He still had a lot of power in 1991 in his vocals but he lost his old reaper demon voice he had on back in black and for those about to rock
Dude it mid june and it's not getting dark before 22:00 and they have a curfew on open air venues. Apart from that I refuse to stand in a field. Give me a propper statium for that kind of money. As for the band: it's just Angus +Brian who never really pulled it off live + some hired guns, so no thanks I'll pass seen them enough times over the years. Same with the current Black Crowes tour (except Chris can still sing).
I know that and I say twice in the video that I know they dont control this with the time, but it still made the experience less enjoyable.
Is Brian using something to help him remember the lyrics?
Not sure to be honest.
Yes a teleprompter like most singers use
Great review. Brian to his credit hasn’t resorted to miming unlike some bands.
No that is true, he is authentic in what he is doing and when he was good there it was great, it was just a pity that the "best" hits were off for him. Thanks for watching
I'd rather see Angus play live with vocals on backtrack.
At Least Brian can sing the words to a good Majority of Songs unlike Vince Meal who you cant understand Nugget Hot Hot on Speach Chalk filled butty tat hell of a bee 😂
Oh and PS Mick Mars was Montly Crew
And at his age he is STILL singing circles around todays so called entertainment 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🤘
Time to call it a day. Been an ACDC fan since the 80's. Go retire and enjoy your money and family.
🤘
Tapping strings with ya finger/beating a drum with a stick is 1000% easier than growling from the bottom of ya throat & belching from the top of ya lung capacity when ya pushing 80. U wanna c a rockin band? go c a buncha 29's year olds playing in an AC/DC covers band in a pub! they'll rock ya socks off!
Totally agree, singers get the shortest straw in rock and metal. Thanks for watching
First saw them Myer Music Bowl Melbourne 1977 with Bon again in 1980-1 with Brian there older than me I'm now retired I suggest they do the same. Lets face it there just not the same as watching 20-23 year olds they should be preforming for free.
Must have been amazing to see Bon! Thanks for watching
It's obvious from the video of every show that Brian can't do this anymore. First show he sounded JUST ok, but every show since he has sounded worse and worse. He's going to be cooked by the time this gets to the US, if this tour makes it that far without him having to bow out.
Bring Axl back. I'd pay to see that.
Yes I didn't check any videos out so I sort of went in blind on this. I felt sorry for him there as he has such a great voice when it its on. I would join you to see Axl with them!
Axl can barely sing to 😂 did you see thier recent performance? He sounded worse than Brian 😂 he sounds like Mickey Mouse
Saw them in 1996 . . .
🤘
They sound like they wanna take a nap 😴
🤘
In Italy, which was actually kinda beginning of their current tour, Brian sounded surprisingly good. Now it seems he’s gradually losing it unfortunately….
But AC/DC have nothing to prove to anyone.
Should they quit? Should they keep it going anyway? Hard to tell…
I think they should go on as long as people show up and they enjoy being on the stage. Then it is up to use as fans to decide if we want to see it or not. Thanks for watching
@@metalandrockzone yeah, I do agree with you. It’s not up to me or you to decide, but the band and people. And it’s a hard one to get out both for the band and the fans. I saw them a couple of times when they were great, immense I’d say. And I’d like to see new people going see them performing so that these people could see what the rock’n’roll is about. And Ac/DC is the band!
But unfortunately when the performance starts to worsen it could be a negative impact on people. Which I’m sad about.
Nevertheless, this band is still a killer band and are , in my opinion, far away from the sh.t motley crue, g’n’r or others are still bringing upon the stage. And people still go out there and pay money to see them.
So, everything is on the right place. Everyone is doing what they want because they feel the way they feel 👊💀👊
@@BULLET-PROOF-BAND yes and to be honest I give them 8 out of 10 despite it being broad daylight, unsynced video screens and Brian's struggle so it was actually a lot of fun.
@@metalandrockzone I guess you’re fair enough
Thought he had stopped performing due to ongoing deafness? Maybe that had something to do with it.
No he got back from that which I didn't see coming. Thanks for watching
He’s 76 fella. Cut him some slack
yes thats why I rated the show 8/10 which most would consider pretty ok
Well obviously your expectations are way to high. I have seen AC/DC 5 times starting in 85 and they have always blown the roof off ( including Brian ) I am the biggest AC/DC fan in the world and even I do not expect Brian to be as great as he always had been in his younger years. You keep comparing him to the rest of the band- you have to remember that the rest of the band are playing their instruments that do all of their pitching of sound for them, And they all work their asses off to produce the music for us, but Brian is in many ways working much harder than the rest because his voice is his instrument and to do what he does, especially at his age, takes an extreme amount of energy. You are younger than he is- you try doing what he does. I have a damn good set of lungs and vocal chords myself and in some ways it would still be fairly difficult to keep up with Brian even with his being older. If you expect that he is going to be able to do what he did decades or even just 10 years ago live then you should not go to the show because you are not living in reality. There is no reason to be on your channel attempting to bash Brian just for the views because 1.- you couldn’t even begin to keep up with him, and 2.- all of us true AC/DC fans understand already and are more than willing to cut some slack and accept it for what it is and don’t need someone like you to explain it to us. You make me think of a neighbor of mine who likes to gossip about other neighbors, and as he is doing it he leans in real close and talks quietly in a low hushed kind of voice, almost whispering so that nobody will hear what that chickenshit is saying. You can tell from a distance when he is gossiping like an old lady because when it is just him and one other person alone he is leaning in real close to them as he gossips so that nobody will hear him. I don’t listen to or give a shit about his bullshit either.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I will go and gossip about it like an old lady tonight in between singing ACDC songs in karaoke
I bet that will be a nightmare. Why don’t you make a video of your Kareoke of AC/DC and post it on your page so that we can all witness it?
great idea
I disagree with one thing:
"This are not the songs we are here for."
A band is as good as their deep cuts, they have plenty of great songs that are not classic singles.
I really wanted to see them, Angus is still giving a great performance, but I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy Brian struggling through the set. I know he is old and has overcome healh issues but it is what it is.
Anyway: For those about to rock, we salute you! i..i
I know what you mean and I dont disagree on the deep cuts, i love listening to ACDC albums start to finish but the hits are sort of the highlight that I think maybe 50% of those 80.000 knew and wanted. So its more that it is a bad place in the program to fail.
@@metalandrockzone Update: Just saw footage of other performances and Brian was pretty good! I guess he was having a bad night. Maybe he was sick or tired.
@@RGK93 That is very much an option and I honestly hope that was the case
Can't expect much from a man with Barrets esophagus.
maybe not
I saw AC/DC in 1979, Oakland California, Day On The Green.
It was the Highway To Hell tour. Bon and the boys tore the place down.
Saw AC/DC five times after that, nothing compars-nothing!!.
Wow that 1979 gig must have been amazing! Thanks for watching
@@metalandrockzone Aerosmith and Ted Nugent were there also.
damn that is a killer lineup
Roll on maiden next year 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Saw them last year, admittedly soon after Nicko's recovery but that gig was awful.
@@metalandrockzone stroke or no stroke maiden can outplay any band you can mention
