No, there is a pretty massive delay in the video.

Look at 23:58. Slash is clearly soloing on the six string while the audio is of him on the twelve string.

And at 25:40 you can see Axl singing in the middle of the guitar solo.

I think they've sounded great! It sounds like classic GnR to me!
Seems like Axl being seated and not running around then stage helps his singing somewhat too.

And I'd never thought I'd be hearing myself say this, but Axl is an EXCELLENT Bon Scott stand in ..so him being with AC/DC could be very cool!

Nope, not worried about needing any flamesuits here. Note the phrasing..."STAND IN"
Compared to Brain Johnson, Axl, IMO is better suited to sing the Bon stuff.
Apparently Angus Young agrees, so good enough for me.

Not worried? Even though you compared Bon Scott to Axl Rose, who is hated to an irrational level on this board? I see you're new here. Welcome to MLP. :welcome:

BTW, can you hold my chicken for me? I want it cooked, fast.

Axl Vanilli! It doesn't matter, really.

He was, is and always will be a total POS.

Axl is a reasonable choice to get the wreckage of what was once AC/DC across the finish line, but nowhere do I see any indication that it's because Angus thinks he's better than Brian at the Bon era vocals

I agree. he is the most suitable person to finish the tour with. there are no other singers with the appripritate voice who can handle stadium shows.

Now if we are talking about an album I'll be first in line to say NO to that even though im a huge Axl fan.

It really doesn't take much to flush out the Axl haters, does it. It's cool, I don't like him either.
I just thought the Whole Lotta Rosie sounded pretty good. It could've been a LOT worse.
And that was just from playing the clip at work..
Would I want Axl to be a permanent member of AC/DC?
No! They could do the Journey thing and easily find a Bon/Brian clone...

But the bottom line is, regardless of how any of us feel, is that it IS gonna happen, Axl Rose IS going to tour with AC/DC, and will make more $$$ than any of us will ever see in a lifetime, whether you hate him or not. The leader of that band's feelings of the matter weigh more than ANY of ours.

For the record, I'm not even an Axl OR AC/DC fan. I think he is a POS of a human being..My comment was solely based on the Whole Lotta Rosie clip with Angus.

Had to pull up better quality videos just to prove he wasn't lip syncing after watching the official footage from Coachella. Should be a crime to make people look that horrible, what with the high quality recording devices available today. Heck, my Galaxy S5 would probably have done an ok job.

Although how he rolls side to side really fast while sitting down is all on him. Pretty comical, but his voice was better than I thought it would be...at times.

I hope I left myself an out there somewhere.
