You're thoughts on Axl Rose joining AC/DC

It was recently announced that Axl Rose will be joining AC/DC for the duration of their "Rock Or Bust" world tour. As somebody who loves AC/DC and sang in an AC/DC tribute, I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand it allows the band to fulfil their remaining dates and give the fans the concert they bought a ticket for, but on the other, it's not really AC/DC the fans will be seeing. I know Malcolm recently retired and was replaced with his nephew, but I think you can get away with that and still have a full blown AC/DC experience. A singer is different. Axl Rose sounds totally different to Brian Johnson and so the songs are going to sound totally different. At the end of the day, if I had a ticket to go see AC/DC with Axl Rose, I think I'd prefer to get my money back. What do you guys think?

I agree; I would have never expected a concert from a band from thirty years ago to be the same as it was back then, so I never had my hopes up anyway. There are exceptions, like Cher, but AC/DC isn't Cher.
