AC/DC France & Belgium 2016

The latest live set of “AC/DC + Axl Rose”, which is causing a stir around the world, has arrived. It’s been about two months since Brian Johnson’s tour was suspended due to trouble with his hearing. The coupling of the century is finally realized. This is the first audience album. Recorded in this work are “May 13, 2016 Marseille performance (France)” and “May 16, 2016 Werftel performance (Belgium)”. Discs 1 and 2 contain the full recording of the Marseille performance, and discs 3 and 4 contain the full recording of the Werftel performance. Anyway, this miraculous coupling is attracting a lot of attention all over the world. It seems that Sebastian Bach, Nick Cester (JET), and Darren Caperna (singer in a cover band) were also candidates to replace Brian, but Axl was the obvious choice. Even before the live performance took place, there were various theories ranging from “This is amazing” to “This isn’t AC/DC.” When Alice Cooper and Nikki Sixx, let alone ordinary fans, declared, “Axl’s voice is perfect for AC/DC,” Scott Ian said, “Without Brian, they should stop,” and Roger Daltrey said, Just cut it off and throw it away as “Karaoke Show.” Robin Zander ended up saying, “I want to sing.” What’s more, ticket refunds were accepted for fans who didn’t want to see Axl (7,000 people received refunds for the Belgian concert included in this film), creating an unusual uproar that was different from just a member change. It was. As the tour is attracting a lot of attention, a large number of recordings are currently being released at this moment. There are several types of audience recordings not only for each performance but also for the same live performance, but among them, we have carefully selected the top quality (currently). The true nature of this work is that it has been compiled into a 4-disc set. Now, let’s take a look at the tour schedule for “AC/DC + Axel”. ・May 7th: Lisbon (Portugal) ・May 10th: Seville (Spain) ・May 13th: Marseille (France) [Discs 1 and 2 of this work] ・May 16th: Werftel (Belgium) [Book]・May 19th: Vienna (Austria) ・May 22nd: Prague (Czech Republic) ・May 26th: Hamburg (Germany) ・May 29th: Bern (Switzerland) ・June 1st Sun: Leipzig (Germany) ・June 4: London (England) ・June 9: Manchester (England) ・June 12: Aarhus (Denmark) ・June 15: Düsseldorf (Germany) There are 13 live performances announced. There are 10 other rescheduled performances scheduled, but these are all that have been announced at the time of publication. However, this work includes the 3rd and 4th performances.The quality of this work is as good as the audience sound, as it was carefully selected from among the many recordings. The enthusiasm is too raw to call it a “sound board”, but the musical tone that suppresses it is amazing.The rhythm section and the guitar are just as strong as a rough rope.The rhythm monster AC/DC’s groove is strong. It resonates in the five organs and shakes the six senses.Particularly wonderful are the Belgian performances on Discs 3 and 4.No, the Marseille performance is more than enough, but the Belgian performance is a few steps higher on this day. Not only is it the best recording, but it is the highest quality sound at the moment.As the tour has just begun, it cannot be called a “tour masterpiece”, and the quality is worthy of permanent preservation.And Axl Rose, who is attracting a lot of attention. This is also recorded clearly and boldly, but the AC/DC that sings with that voice is… amazing.As the world is divided into pros and cons, it is easy to say, “Better than Brian! I can’t say anything like that, but his passionate rock spirit and ability to handle large venues is truly charismatic as a frontman who is an AC/DC fan and has covered songs with GUNS N’ ROSES. They are outstanding, and while there is a sense of respect for the original, they don’t fall into the trap of cheap imitations.In this day and age, there are many bands who find singers with similar voices online, but this wouldn’t have happened if they were just look-alikes. . Point’s voice is also surprisingly similar to Brian, as if he were a little closer to Bon Scott. Even though it is definitely Axl’s voice, I am enveloped in a strange feeling of “AC/DC after all.” “AC/DC + Accelerator” has finally been realized. This tour has been praised by the American rock magazine “ROLLING STONE” as “amazing,” and even the harsh British newspaper “THE GUARDIAN” has given it a perfect score of “5 stars.” Since GUNS N’ ROSES has reunited, it is impossible to predict how this combination will turn out, but rock’n’roll has certainly appeared on Earth. This work is solid proof of that, and is a live set coupled with the current best full recording. Please enjoy this miraculous unit that can only be thought of as being created by the whims of God!
