3/24: AXL TO AC/DC RUMORS AND MY TAKE

The latest RUMORS about Axl Rose joining AC/DC are everywhere. With GnR and AC/DC you have two bands that are notoriously tight lipped about anything, so that leads to it really not taking much at all for these things to pick up steam. As I have often said the current “media” today is truly insane. One person can say anything without crediting one real source and the social media world makes it fact. The last thing I read about this was.. “a source out of Atlanta said..”. WHAT? Okay so how about this; “a source out of NJ says Eddie Trunk is the new singer in Led Zeppelin”. Anything wrong with that? I mean that literally has as much of a real source attached as these current Axl to AC/DC rumors. It’s unreal and driven by the fact that we have the perfect union of two bands that don’t talk for the most part, and have the most incredibly rabid fan bases. It is the perfect gossip online storm!

Now I am NOT saying I know ANYTHING about this one way or the other. It could be true! But the way it is being treated as anything more than a rumor by credible outlets is stunning, especially when there is not ONE real official source yet anywhere. Could Axl do it? Sure. But to me it would be a strange move on the cusp of a massive commitment and relaunch of Guns. I would think every bit of focus to make that as good as it can be would have to be there? I got one for you. How about AC/DC and Guns co-headline stadiums and Axl sings both sets? Insane right? But that’s how easy it is to start a rumor and have it get traction these days. And before we forget Brian Johnson, does anyone really care about what his story is and what really happened?? I do! I mean the guy put in 36 years! But on all fronts I will wait for REAL info from REAL CREDITED OFFICIAL sources. Until then I need to practice for my new gig fronting Zeppelin…

    Good one Eddie. Please be sure to do, ” over the hills and far away.’ My favorite Zep song \mm/

    I agree Eddie. Rumors always get reported as facts whether it’s bands or anything newsworthy or political. I get tired of this too.

    On a happier note. I saw UFO last night at Vamp’d in Las Vegas. Great show! Vamp’d is my favorite club in Las Vegas. They get some great bands. One of the perks of living in Vegas.

      That’s the problem I have with social media, and its why I typically stay away from it. People get on there and state things as fact when they are only rumours and opinions. And people believe it and run with it. Used in it’s intended manner it’s a wonderful thing, but it’s also opened a whole new network for rumours and spreading hate and discontent.
