Description
An absolutely incredible recording has been released! This is amazing, absolutely incredible!! A complete stereo soundboard recording of “AXL/DC” has unexpectedly appeared!!! After 10 years, this shocking, top-quality line recording has just recently leaked. Although the running time is relatively short at about one hour, the content is undeniably official-grade. This is a superb recording that allows you to mentally replay AC/DC with Axl Rose singing in superb sound quality. Permanently preserved in this release is a stereo soundboard recording of the “Aarhus performance (Denmark) on June 12, 2016”. This is the stage of the legendary unit “AXL/DC”, in which Axl Rose of GUNS N’ ROSES rushed to the rescue after Brian Johnson’s departure. First, let’s look back at the schedule at the time to confirm the position of this release. 2015 “ROCK OR BUST Tour” – April 10th + 17th: Indio (2 shows) – May 5th – July 25th: Europe #1 (28 shows) – August 22nd – September 28th: North America #1 (14 shows) – November 4th – December 15th: Oceania (11 shows) 2016 – February 2nd – 28th: North America #2 (10 shows) [April: Brian leaves → Axl Rose joins] – May 7th – June 15th: Europe #2 (13 shows) ←★HERE★ – August 27th – September 20th: North America #3 (10 shows) ←※PHILADELPHIA 2016 etc. The miraculous unit “AXL/DC” born from the whim of God As you know, in April 2016 Brian was put on doctor’s orders to stop due to an ear problem. The tour, which seemed destined to be interrupted, was saved by the astonishing and ultra-bold addition of Axl Rose – “AXL/DC.” Their activities were limited to just 23 shows, “Europe #2 / North America #3.” This Aarhus performance is the 12th show of “Europe #2.” At the time, opinions were sharply divided, from praise such as “Axl’s voice is perfect for AC/DC” to harsh criticism like “This isn’t AC/DC.” However, the performance was so well-executed that even the notoriously critical British magazine “THE GUARDIAN” awarded it a perfect five stars. There were rumors of Axl officially joining the band, but after many twists and turns, Brian May returned. This super-luxurious collaboration project literally became a “phantom.” Without any official live recordings, AXL/DC vanished into legend. However, ten years later, in 2026, a “genuine soundboard recording” has surfaced! The impact was… I’m simply at a loss for words. This isn’t just “like a soundboard,” it’s a genuine soundboard!! The whole world held its breath during this super-collaboration, and as a result, audience recordings of the live performance poured in. This miraculous collaboration became widely known throughout the world. However, no matter how excellent an audience recording may be, it’s still just an audience recording. Even the most renowned recordings only ever came close to being “like a soundboard.” But this one is different. It’s not “like” or “similar,” it’s a pure, unadulterated, authentic stereo soundboard. And what’s more, it’s of the “super” highest quality!! There’s absolutely no sense of distance. Angus’s guitar is played right in front of you, and the groove of the rhythm section hits you right in the gut. And above all, Axl’s vocals come right in your ear. Every single note, even the nuance of his shouts, is captured with vivid detail and raw realism. The bliss of being able to confront the performance itself without being disturbed by the noise of the audience—this is a privilege that only a soundboard recording can grant. *Note: There was also a conventional audience recording of the same performance, “AARHUS 2016 (Shades 660).” However, the sound and quality are vastly different from this one. Please completely erase any memories of that one. AC/DC’s masterpieces sung in Axl’s voice What is poured into your brain with this completely official-quality sound is the miracle of rock history: “AC/DC in Axl’s voice.” As mentioned above, the recording time of about one hour is far from the full performance, but it includes AC/DC numbers that even GUNS N’ ROSES have never covered, sung in “that voice.” Let’s summarize the selection of songs here. Bon Scott era (6 songs) – Rock spirit: Whole Lotta Rosie / Let There Be Rock (★) – Powerage: Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation (★) / Riff Raff – Highway to Hell: If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) (★) / Highway to Hell (★) Brian Johnson era (3 songs) – Back in Black: Back in Black / You Shook Me All Night Long (★) – Razor’s Edge: Thunderstruck (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” have never been covered by GUNS N’ ROSES. …and so on. The revival of “Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation” and “If You Want Blood,” which had been dormant for a long time, is surely due to Axl’s fan mentality. Axl himself is said to be a Bon Scott fan, but Brian’s songs also fit him well, and you can enjoy “You Shook Me All Night Long” and “Thunderstruck,” which you wouldn’t expect to hear from GUNS N’ ROSES, in superb soundboard quality. AXL/DC, a band for whom an official release seems impossible, presents this long-awaited album as a “substitute for the official release.” Moreover, the sound quality is not merely “official,” but genuine soundboard recording. This album is irrefutable proof that this miraculous unit, born from a whim of God, truly existed on this earth—a cultural heritage album that you should confront with all your heart. An absolutely incredible record. Stereo soundboard recording of the Aarhus performance on June 12, 2016. A completely official-quality live album of the miraculous unit “AXL/DC” featuring Axl Rose. Although it is an excerpt of 9 songs over approximately 1 hour, the mix is meticulously crafted, the performance has zero distance, and Axl’s vocals feel like they’re right next to your ear. This is an absolute cultural heritage album that you should confront with all your heart, serving as a “substitute for the official release” of AXL/DC, a band for whom an official release seems impossible.
