The AC/DC “Rock or Bust” tour continues on without their usual front man, Brian Johnson, who was sent home to protect what little hearing he has left.
Replacing Johnson for the final month of tour is none other than Guns & Roses Axl Rose, in a metal chair after breaking his foot.
Fans in the UK and Belgium have been demanding refunds on their concert tickets and the venues have obliged them.
Here’s a clip from last week’s performance in Lisbon. Would you want your ticket refunded or go enjoy the show? Watch
One needs hearing aids, the other needs a walker. Not a good image for Rockers
I’m needing some financial backers for my “scooter chair” old rocker reunion tours idea….any takers?…
It’s the I Got My Free Rascal Tour!
“The show must go on!”
Does his shirt say Douchebag?
I’m no fan of Axl Rose, after causing a riot at an outdoor venue in St. Louis in the late 90’s, but I give him credit here for helping the boys finish their tour.
The second article says all those refunded tickets were quickly sold again.
Make me wonder how much longer some of these traditional rock and roll acts can go on.
I heard a clip from the tour on the radio yesterday, and I thought they were doing fairly well. ACDC not my fave anyway – but not bad. Also, the DJ said he was only 5 minutes late getting on stage – so at least Axl is showing the audience a little more respect.
Unequivocally Pathetic!
I’d say it’s “bust”.

@Gladys – They told Axl the show starts an hour before it really does.
I’d watch them in concert if someone gave me a ticket. I went up to Chicago to see some death metal bands a couple weekends ago, and my ears are still ringing. I’m not into death metal, but my ticket was free, so I figured why not? It was fun, but all the bands’ vocals sounded like Cookie Monster.
Boys, just cancel the tour. AC/DC’s music all sounds the same anymore. And AWD saw AC/DC win Bon Scott on the Let There Be Rock Tour! Now that was rock!
That’s axl rose?
@even steven.
Check out Opeth if you haven’t already. Akërfeldt has a Cookie Monster/Angelic voice! “The Baying Of The Hounds” is one of the greatest musical masterpieces ever penned. EVER. ?

So Axl Rose is going to play electric guitar from a metal chair? I mean, the guy’s a genius. What could go wrong?
Next up: Mick Jagger performs in a wheelchair.
Last time I saw AC/DC was at The Monsters of Rock in Nuremberg Germany in 1985. They were the headliner of many bands and one of the best shows I remember for heavy metal.
I find it hard to watch aging artist. Sure sucks getting old.
Rock and roll is a young man’s domain. This is pathetic.
