Everyone’s talked about Axl’s vocals, but no one’s mentioned the respect and humility. Notice how he stays in the background behind the band. He knows who the stars are.
Also, kept his own style instead of trying to copy the look of Brian Johnson.
Bruh. Good eye. You ain't wrong. Angus was the show, and Axl did let it happen I'll give him that. His professional side showed in this performance
@@chriskarbownik8423 and Angus also gives him a chance during the vocal sessions. They respect each other. 🤘
Not to mention it was an AC/DC show, not AC/DC and Guns. (Like the concerts of Coverdale-Page where they did Whitesnake & Zep songs)
U gotta give respect to earn respect! Once upon a time, Axl's voice Shook the whole world .
This is probably one of the best performances I have ever seen. Axl fucking slayed it. Live. At around 55 years old (at the time this was shot). So fucking badass.
As an Audio Engineer, I don't even hear any (post) pitch correction/Autotune. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's just his regular effects chain and some typical mixing in post.
But whether he's using pitch correction or not (99% sure he's not), my dude's just chillin in the 5th fucking octave - hitting F#5 like it's a walk in the park. Well, he actually (purposely) hits A5 at times.
That's the god damned 14th and 17th frets on your high E string on a guitar. That's almost at the 6th octave. Axl's a fucking maniac.
He is a fucking Legend 🤘
@@AlfistiV6 Best of the best
fuck8ng maniac!
U talking to much shit trying come off articulate n shit😆just enjoy n listen to the beautiful music
Absolutely no autotune, and the 'need' to post-process live videos wasn't a thing back then. Now (as I'm sure you know) it can be done live, even between microphone and speakers, but only the biggest stars can afford to use that (ironically, the most worshipped, 'talented' ones, ahem, naming no names....!)!
Axl Rose was amazing. Not only nailed the singing but was obviously aware of the grandeur of the situation. He was pitch perfect. That was such a great performance. AC/DC brought it and found a way to make the best of a tough situation. Bravo to Axl & AC/DC!
His voice is KILLING it here. Hitting crazy high notes for his age. Guy is a LEG-END, bruhs. LEGEND! Pro asf.
To be fair, there aren’t many vocalists that could do this justice and Axl is about as close to Brian as you’re gonna get. Fair play for him stepping in to cover for Brian and ensure the band could still tour.
Good point. You should check out Jim Breuer (yes the comedian) sing like Brian... he's spot on!!
This was axel’s shining moment
Axl was there for a band he appreciated, and that was in need of a vocalist. He did better than most would have thought. Not better than Brian (of course), but he was there for 'em and delivered for the fans, he didn't have to, but he did.
Better than Brian at least 20 x
Axl has the highs to do this justice. Well Done...Bravo
@@johnnyrocker7495 Right on!
Axl did a good job filling in for Brian imo
He can hit the notes Brian hasn't been able to for a long time. And he HAD to deliver..you don't half ass AC/DC. He DID have to deliver for the fans.
I think Axl done an amazing job helping AC/DC out . He's got the voice range for their kind of music..
Very few people can step in to AC/DC and shine!! Love Axel !!! It’s so very hard to maintain your voice when u sing like this for years & years!! I hate when people criticize on something they know nothing about!! I’m sure Brian & the rest of the band were more than pleased with Axel stepping up and helping them continue the tour!!! Nothing but Love for them all !!
Love the Ax man! Brian has made it look so easy for so long, when someone talented steps in, you realize what a monster job it is to fill those shoes.
It sounded great with Axl rose. He still has it seems. Very unique raw vocals.
He's probably better live than Brian's strained screeching...and I am definitely no G 'N' R fan.
This video has the best sound quality ever!
Axl is amazing! Angus and the band are phenomenal! This put a huge grin on my face while I was rocking out.
this went way better than I thought. not many can sing acdc..he did a good job.. especially his age and style difference
Axl payed respect to the band. No overacting at all. Very good job
amazing what his voice can be like when properly placed with space in a song with time to breathe ...jus killer
Need to like this comment more than once! ACDC are masters of minimalism!
Yes!!! This comment!! 🙌🏼
Vocally Axl did really well, it's just the timing and phrasing of the words that are off occasionally but I genuinely think he did a lot better than people give him credit for
Damn, Axl! Great work!
Great. I don't think anyone else could have stood in for Brian better than this. He was a good choice. What a voice on that fella.
Bro Axls voice is like thunder..fckn rox🤘
I saw AC/DC right before Brian had to stop singing on the tour, Axl did an excellent job filling in on such a short notice
I know nothing about Axl Rose but he looks like he did a good job. ACDC is a cultural institution with a huge following. Hope he continues with this venture. Keep on rocking, Mister Axl Rose, sir!
I had no idea what to expect when I clicked on this video but I have to admit Axel did a bloody good job with this song. I hadn't heard him sing live in ages and was fully prepared to write him off but he nails this. Hats off to him and the boys
Never heard Brian hitting these notes live ever unless there has been some vork done on it. Well done.
If only he had taken better care of himself
Axl sounds great
I just notice… I like how Axl stayed back a lot. And let the boys do their thing. He made it about AC/DC and not him.
1:42 when he hits the lyrics..."Sound of the DRUMS!.... beatin in my heaaaaaaarrrrt!!!" Powerful voice at that range is insane, especially when singing all night like that.
VERY VERY CLEAR - verses so many other videos of this on UA-cam.
Wow... I think he did his best performance of the last years just with AC/DC.
2016 Axl was kicking ass. Performing with Adler and then vocals like this?!?!!!
I can’t think of a singer that could have pulled this off better than Axl. He was a gift to this band in their time of need. 10/10 would Axl again.
it's good see axl rock again, it ain't easy to step up to the mike like that especially if its the biggest hard rock band ever.
Love AC/DC with Chris Slade on drums. Chris brings so much energy to a live concert
But Rudd is the Legend, not Slade.
J'adore
*PFFT!*
He's not in the same league as Rudd; the guy the metronome factory calls when they want to ensure their metronomes are keeping time accurately...
ua-cam.com/video/N_AcmtmegKI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=skeletor538
Get that inta ya!
Got that right. Rudd all the way
Chris was good in the 90s when he played the Razors Edge Tour with them. But today he is not the old Slade anymore. Some Tunes are too slow, no Groove and so on.
Phil is the best for AC/DC!
I never would have thought this would work...but it does.
Great job !!! you guys sound great in concert!! I seen ya'll in Rotterdam when I was 19 . I'm 56 now . Keep Rocking!!!🤘🤘🥁🥁🎸🎸
I have seen ACDC a few times in concert and met them too. My all time favorite band!!!
Same!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Was at the show in Cleveland a week & some change before this. It was so great to see them dust off a bunch of classic AC/DC songs & play them in their original tuning. All put on a Hell of a show
Angus taking off for his run at start put a huge smile on my face, bloody legend 👍🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻
Brilliant, nobody's getting any younger but boy can these play and sing
the detail on him beeing most of the time behind the rest of the band while he sings, just shows the respect he has for ACDC.
That's the reality of love music. You have that blend of people being slightly ahead, on, after the beat
Axl did a fuckin' great job! It's unbelievable how good he is here! Better than with his own band! Amazing rendition for this classic!
AXL/DC :-)!
Yep, great match for this and he nailed it. Can't believe this is the first time they've made this match, or that I've seen it, but he's perfect.
Don’t be stupid something is helping his voice there’s a trick about that ,if he sing solo he won’t sing like this
Nailed it
@@fernandomunguia6714 So tell us what's helping him here, asshole! It's a bootleg, the footage comes from some phone! Don't be a dick!
Sorry comment section. Was in the business a long time and saw countless bands live. I was so lucky to see AC/DC on each new album live in concert. I cried when Malcolm died🌹 Brian? Y’all may be AXL fans and I am too but there’s no way to even come close topping the main epic legends in wild action! And man those concerts you felt electrified for days after! I’ve seen the best of the best out there and there’s no topping AC/DC.
I loved it, he done way better than most people expected including me. Great job Axle!!
I didn't have high expectations for this honestly but was actually really impressed. Axl did it justice.
same here.. why cant he sing like this with GNR these days??? i dont get it
Well the answer is pretty simple gnr stuff are sing on much lower register,the so called mickey voice is only on his lower voice
I was literally just listening to the original and wondered if this version was available.
Wowsers, what a performance by Axl. He paid great contribute IMHO by making it his own and not trying to give a carbon copy performance. Man how many other performers could've pulled that off? Maybe a handful at best.
i remember when they came to my country in 2016. The tickets were sold out fast. then Brian had to stop and they announce Axl would be the one performing in his place. A lot of people asked for a refund.
So the tickets were being sold again an eventually they sold out again (tho slower).
After the concert, most (if not all) people that returned their tickets were regretting their decision.
Axel is back, so nice!!!!!!! 🎤🎸👍🤟🤠
I didnt like they announced axl would replace brian for that tour but i gladly say i was wrong. He did great. It was so good to see him rocking again
That actually was pretty good.
Excelent W.Axl Rose🌹🎩⚡🙏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍📸. thank you very much millions.
Angus is the man!!! Everyone talking about AXL while Angus plays his ass off..he's my favorite 😍
Axl fronting one of the greatest bands in the planet and i know he is a fan of this band and thats awesome a dream come true for him
Axl sounds amazing here. Why doesn't he sing like this for the current Gunners tours? I think he plays it safe for his own band too much. I think most people would rather see an hour long Gn'R concert with Axl singing like this than three hours of him singing without all the grit and power he is known for. The ACDC gigs prove he can still do it.
So true. But I suppose you don't muck around when your singing for AC/DC
its a different octave. Hes lost the one that he sung "sweet child o mine" and other songs with. That aint coming back. This octave hes singing in is literally the highest one hes capable of singing which is why it sounds so good. When he starts "Welcome to the jungle" its the same octave that hes using here. Hes 60 now and his voice has taken a beating its hard to sing the same as when you were 20 when your best voice was literally razor blades. Still hes a very talented singer even to this day just not what he once was imo.
It's because Angus Young demands better than that falsetto Axl coasts through his performances with. Axl described the AC/DC rehearsals as grueling. Especially since he was healing from foot surgery. He simply chooses to not expend that much energy with GNR. He sings Welcome to the Jungle like it's 1988, but everything else I feel like he half asses it.
He sounded great in St. Louis 2017, but maybe it was early in that years tour
@@williamsmith8522 he sounded great in 2017 and again in 2021 when i saw Guns again.
perfect roll for Axl
Axl sounds really good singing with them!!!
Best UA-cam video I've seen in ages.
Axl did what most would fail at. I loved his vocals on this.
First time seeing this and I'm impressed with Axel's performance.
Axel's respect for joining AC/DC is incredible. a big bow.
Frickn Axl has all the juice to relead the gretest band of hard rock !!! NO DOUBT AT ALL !!!
KEEP ROCK ROLLN !!
El.uno....tan profesional ,siendo una estrella ..toma un empleo y de reemplazo...
Un hombre que se gano todo lo que es y tiene con su propio esfuerzo
Amazing video man, you guys have no idea, that’s rock and roll history and you guys are nothing but dust if we are talking bout anybody on stage that night!!! Rock n fucking rolling
Axl's entrance gives me chills!
Axl pulled out the rasp again, especially …. for AC/DC… Legendary 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Trabalho incrível do Axl. Merece respeito !
Cómo siempre el gran axl rose
When you are among legends who no longer dedicate the time, who are too stars and live among millions, sometimes we have performances that only dedicated a couple of rehearsals to them because they are very good, here you can see that they rehearsed to perfection
I like Axl. He's certainly the real deal.
If you would've told me in 1990 that Axl Rose would tour as the lead singer of AC/DC in 2016, my 1st Grade mind would've been blown. This is pretty cool.
This was a "Great" AC/DC lineup! Period!
Who tf is criticizing his voice here? Dude did such a good performance, look at the damn rasp
Sounds great Axle.
What a voice. Axl nail it.
You gotta be fucking kidding
@@galwaytribesman9289 lets see you do it... Axl was 🔥
@@miken2968 No I dont have to do it I'm not axl if you think he's better than Brian Johnson then you are deluded
@@galwaytribesman9289 did i say he did better than Brian? Or Bon? I said axl was good... And he is...
@@miken2968 So you think you are better than Brian yes?
Wahnsinn Axl Rose. Das ist das beste Up_Grade das ich je gesehen habe. Eine außergewöhnliche Stimme vertstärkt eine Welt-Band.
Riesen Respekt, auch für sein Auftreten.
Ich liebe diesen Song und Rose hat es besser gemacht.
This is awesome. Axel is great 😎🤘
the best Axl Rose
Axl was amazing. He did a great job on a song that to me is Brian's best AC/DC song.
I thought they were crazy to hire Axl for the tour but he really stepped up and sounded much better than I expected.
I guess maturity and getting away from GnR has given him a better work ethic. Not to mention it's fucking AC/DC and they'll accept nothing less.
That was really awesome!! Different but really right on!! Hell yeah
Axl Rose us an amazing singer!❤
axl is phenomenal
sure not his style but this effort and this guy man i just give him a hat off and salute rock and roll 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 Wheve been THUNDERSTRUCK
Axl è sempre il numero uno!!!
For the amount of damage done to his vocal cords he nailed this. Amazing!!!
Axl, man. Damn.
Damn I'm impressed, axel did a great job
Ain’t no e in his name it’s W. Axl Rose
Damn! Love that he can still hit the high notes!!
Axl did a real real great job !!!
Absolutely amazing job axl great video
Axl filled in at a time they needed a singer and he was experienced being in front of large arena crowds, otherwise this tour wouldn't have happened. He also appears to enjoy the jamming here and blended with them well. As someone already mentioned, Axl stayed in the background and wasn't wanting attention, he saved the front man position for when Guns and Roses took the stage.
Some of Axl's best performance since 80's GNR. Nice job Axl👌👌🤘🤘🤘
Sorry… I think he is awesome!! Love this
This was really cool and Historical!
Siempre creí que el estilo de Axl Rose encajaba muy bien con AC/DC
great!! best matched Axi voice!
Them old dudes rockin ... I ain't scared of gettin old now...rock on mafkers...cool shit
One of my biggest regrets... never saw them in concert! I've seen alot of bands...very few add up. Rock on AC/DC FOREVER
Axl was magnificent here!
Nice mashup of rock styles 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Axl gets my support🇫🇮💜
Nice work!
finally Axl rose dream came true.always wanted to be part of AC/DC
