i would totally pay 2 bucks to see any version of AC/DC, especially if they came with chicken wings or tacos maybe

Thing is, Phil's playing is actually probably the reason I would go, even sans Malcolm. No Phil, no dice, not for $100.

As the judge dressed Phil Rudd down, perhaps the most stinging rebuke was that the former AC/DC drummer's playing wasn't anything special.
Judge Ingram said there was no evidence he had an offer from the band and he was not convinced that Rudd's drumming was integral to the AC/DC sound.
"Queen replaced Freddie Mercury," he said.

I could totally imagine some hip band sounding like this.
Oh also Phil Rudd got arrested again. For some reason I always thought of that dude as their respectable anchor. Maybe it was all just the glasses. Why did he take that long hiatus the first time?

I depped in an DC covers band last year for a couple of months and had to learn 24 songs in short order, 20 of which were in A and at least 5 started exactly the same, the hardest part by miles ( let's face it, the basslines weren't very taxing) was remembering what the hell song you were playing.

...because he was fired for being an unreasonable, drunken, violent dickhole?

Takes a lot to be fired from AC/DC for that! Like Adler getting canned from gnr.
If yr drummer is too smacked out to keep a beat, it makes sense to not employ them
(nb GnR have been 100% terrible since firing Adler)
Never heard of any other members of the Dacca assaulting Malcolm, but tbh I was too young to be aware of any gossip back then

And I know it's not quite as loud onstage as in the audience, but the loudest sound I've ever been exposed to was the cannons in "For Those About To Rock." And I was wearing earplugs. I can't even imagine hearing those multiple times a week for months on end.

It's really insane, isn't it? Has there ever been another band that lost so many members in such quick, unrelated succession, and not by death, firing or quitting? Phil Rudd in legal limbo, Malcolm committed, and now Brian told to stop? It's just crazy. If I were Cliff or Angus I'd sleep with one eye open.

I might be willing to go see "AC/DC" if the guest vocalist was Angry Anderson (ex-Rose Tattoo) or Dan McCafferty (ex-Nazareth). Beyond that, I don't know.

I would actually rather see AC/DC with Rudd and without Johnson than the other way around.
But what is (or was, I guess) Johnson's range these days? Can he even get anywhere near the high notes in "Back In Black"? A younger singer might be able to deliver where Johnson couldn't.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 8 March 2016 01:38 (eight years ago) link
Perfect tribute would be to tour the hits with no vocalist and ask the crowd to sing everything.
