Watched some of the live show they did last night in the US. Brian Johnsons voice is shot to pieces now unfortunately. He cant do the high notes anymore. Hes 76 now though in fairness. I think a tour could be a disaster if they decide to do it.
Yep, hadn't realised he was that old to be honest. He was sick for a while too. They drafted in Axl Rose for a tour, who's voice is pretty well shot to bits also.
I watched the band's Power Trip performance. Let's be real - Brian's voice is shot. But, hey, he's 76, so it can't be much of a surprise. He's done extraordinarily well over his career to maintain a very good performance level even with that raspy shriek, which has to be very hard on the vocal chords.
Rest of the band very good. Angus's fingers aren't as smooth as they used to be (again, Father Time), but he's still an icon. Cliff and Stevie were solid as a rock, and Matt Laug fit in so naturally. You could almost close your eyes and think it was Rudd.
You may not be able to appreciate the full power of the band's sound from the videos, but you can tell a bum note.Is there a decent quality live video knocking about? All the bits that I've seen are poor phone camera stuff.
You're right though, Johnson's voice is not great at all on what I heard. Hard to tell without a true mix of course but on the evidence presented - poor.
