AXL ROSE Discusses Relationship with AC/DC’s Angus Young - “I Do Not Want To Let This Guy Down, More Than Almost Anybody I've Ever Known”; New Audio Interview Streaming

Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose, currently fronting AC/DC, was interviewed yesterday (Tuesday, June 7th) at the China Exchange in London, England. Audio of the interview is streaming below.

During the interview, Rose was asked if he plans to write a book. He replied: “I think so. Possibly, yes. But it’s tough because I haven’t figured out how to word things in a way that doesn’t just look like I’m being negative to everybody else, or calling them a liar. Slash and I hadn't talked in 19 years, and when we did talk I was, like, 'You wrote a lot of stuff that didn't even happen. It's not real.'"

Speaking about his relationship with Angus Young, Rose says: "It's great. I can't really explain it. I feel something, I feel protective… I do not want to let this guy down, more than almost anybody I've ever known. And I don't know why. And he's very responsive to me. They said they hadn't seen him this happy.”

During the interview, Axl also talks about his desire to work on film soundtracks, working with a vocal coach, his taste in music, working on new Guns N’ Roses music, and much more. Listen below:

AC/DC's remaining European dates:

June
9 - Manchester, England - Etihad Stadium
12 - Aarhus, Denmark - Ceres Park

While packing out stadiums across Europe to rave reviews from critics and fans alike this summer, AC/DC have today announced full details of their re-scheduled US tour dates. The AC/DC Rock Or Bust World Tour returns to America for ten final shows in August and September 2016. They are in Greensboro, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Columbus, Cleveland. Detroit, Buffalo, New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Original tickets will be honoured for all rescheduled dates, refunds are available at point of purchase.

AC/DC have played to over 4 million fans on the Rock Or Bust World Tour and the current lineup of Angus Young, Cliff Williams, Stevie Young, Chris Slade and Axl Rose are set to continue their global trek with a return, for the final leg, to the US.

Not for the first time last year, AC/DC were hailed as the biggest selling live act in the world when, sadly, vocalist Brian Johnson was forced to step down midway through the US tour after being advised by doctors that he risked total hearing loss if he continued to perform live. For the shows in Europe with Axl Rose on vocals, AC/DC have been surprising fans by including rarely played tunes from their formidable archive such as “Rock ‘N’ Roll Damnation”, “Riff Raff”, “Touch Too Much” and “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)”.

Angus Young commented: “This band has got a ton of energy and you’re going to see a fusion of all that terrific chemistry that we have felt ever since rehearsals in Lisbon. I want to get back out there onstage in the US with these guys so our audience can see and feel it too.”

The rescheduled Rock Or Bust US dates are:

August
27 - Greensboro, NC - Greensboro Coliseum
30 - Ft. Lauderdale, FL - BB&T Center

September
1 - Atlanta, GA - Phillips Arena
4 - Columbus, OH - Nationwide Arena
6 - Cleveland, OH - Quicken Loans Arena
9 - Detroit, MI - The Palace
11 - Buffalo, NY - First Niagara Center
14 - New York, NY - Madison Square Garden
17 - Washington, DC - Verizon Center
20 - Philadelphia, PA - Wells Fargo Center
