This is probably one of the best performances I have ever seen. Axl fucking slayed it. Live. At around 55 years old (at the time this was shot). So fucking badass. As an Audio Engineer, I don't even hear any (post) pitch correction/Autotune. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's just his regular effects chain and some typical mixing in post. But whether he's using pitch correction or not (99% sure he's not), my dude's just chillin in the 5th fucking octave - hitting F#5 like it's a walk in the park. Well, he actually (purposely) hits A5 at times. That's the god damned 14th and 17th frets on your high E string on a guitar. That's almost at the 6th octave. Axl's a fucking maniac.

Everyone’s talked about Axl’s vocals, but no one’s mentioned the respect and humility. Notice how he stays in the background behind the band. He knows who the stars are.

Axl Rose was amazing. Not only nailed the singing but was obviously aware of the grandeur of the situation. He was pitch perfect. That was such a great performance. AC/DC brought it and found a way to make the best of a tough situation. Bravo to Axl & AC/DC!

His voice is KILLING it here. Hitting crazy high notes for his age. Guy is a LEG-END, bruhs. LEGEND! Pro asf.

To be fair, there aren’t many vocalists that could do this justice and Axl is about as close to Brian as you’re gonna get. Fair play for him stepping in to cover for Brian and ensure the band could still tour.

Axl was there for a band he appreciated, and that was in need of a vocalist. He did better than most would have thought. Not better than Brian (of course), but he was there for 'em and delivered for the fans, he didn't have to, but he did.

I think Axl done an amazing job helping AC/DC out . He's got the voice range for their kind of music..

I saw the title Axle Rose - Thunderstruck and I kinda chuckled because that is such a difficult role to achieve. I have always had respect for Axle Rose, but I didn't think he could pull this off. I listened to it and I was impressed! He did an awesome job filling in!

Axl payed respect to the band. No overacting at all. Very good job

It sounded great with Axl rose. He still has it seems. Very unique raw vocals.

Very few people can step in to AC/DC and shine!! Love Axel !!! It’s so very hard to maintain your voice when u sing like this for years & years!! I hate when people criticize on something they know nothing about!! I’m sure Brian & the rest of the band were more than pleased with Axel stepping up and helping them continue the tour!!! Nothing but Love for them all !!

Axl is amazing! Angus and the band are phenomenal! This put a huge grin on my face while I was rocking out.

Love the Ax man! Brian has made it look so easy for so long, when someone talented steps in, you realize what a monster job it is to fill those shoes.

this went way better than I thought. not many can sing acdc..he did a good job.. especially his age and style difference

Vocally Axl did really well, it's just the timing and phrasing of the words that are off occasionally but I genuinely think he did a lot better than people give him credit for

I saw AC/DC right before Brian had to stop singing on the tour, Axl did an excellent job filling in on such a short notice

Angus taking off for his run at start put a huge smile on my face, bloody legend 👍🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻

amazing what his voice can be like when properly placed with space in a song with time to breathe ...jus killer

Wow... I think he did his best performance of the last years just with AC/DC.

This video has the best sound quality ever!

Great. I don't think anyone else could have stood in for Brian better than this. He was a good choice. What a voice on that fella.

1:42 when he hits the lyrics..."Sound of the DRUMS!.... beatin in my heaaaaaaarrrrt!!!" Powerful voice at that range is insane, especially when singing all night like that.

it's good see axl rock again, it ain't easy to step up to the mike like that especially if its the biggest hard rock band ever.

Great job !!! you guys sound great in concert!! I seen ya'll in Rotterdam when I was 19 . I'm 56 now . Keep Rocking!!!🤘🤘🥁🥁🎸🎸

Damn, Axl! Great work!

Axel is back, so nice!!!!!!! 🎤🎸👍🤟🤠

Brilliant, nobody's getting any younger but boy can these play and sing

Excelent W.Axl Rose🌹🎩⚡🙏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍📸. thank you very much millions.

I have seen ACDC a few times in concert and met them too. My all time favorite band!!!

Was at the show in Cleveland a week & some change before this. It was so great to see them dust off a bunch of classic AC/DC songs & play them in their original tuning. All put on a Hell of a show

I had no idea what to expect when I clicked on this video but I have to admit Axel did a bloody good job with this song. I hadn't heard him sing live in ages and was fully prepared to write him off but he nails this. Hats off to him and the boys

Axl sounds great

I didnt like they announced axl would replace brian for that tour but i gladly say i was wrong. He did great. It was so good to see him rocking again

Some of Axl's best performance since 80's GNR. Nice job Axl👌👌🤘🤘🤘

Bro Axls voice is like thunder..fckn rox🤘

I can’t think of a singer that could have pulled this off better than Axl. He was a gift to this band in their time of need. 10/10 would Axl again.

Axl did what most would fail at. I loved his vocals on this.

That actually was pretty good.

the detail on him beeing most of the time behind the rest of the band while he sings, just shows the respect he has for ACDC.

Love AC/DC with Chris Slade on drums. Chris brings so much energy to a live concert

Axl did a fuckin' great job! It's unbelievable how good he is here! Better than with his own band! Amazing rendition for this classic!

Sorry comment section. Was in the business a long time and saw countless bands live. I was so lucky to see AC/DC on each new album live in concert. I cried when Malcolm died🌹 Brian? Y’all may be AXL fans and I am too but there’s no way to even come close topping the main epic legends in wild action! And man those concerts you felt electrified for days after! I’ve seen the best of the best out there and there’s no topping AC/DC.

I know nothing about Axl Rose but he looks like he did a good job. ACDC is a cultural institution with a huge following. Hope he continues with this venture. Keep on rocking, Mister Axl Rose, sir!

THAT WAS JUST EPIC 😄 ALX THE BEST 🤘

Amazing video man, you guys have no idea, that’s rock and roll history and you guys are nothing but dust if we are talking bout anybody on stage that night!!! Rock n fucking rolling

Angus is the man!!! Everyone talking about AXL while Angus plays his ass off..he's my favorite 😍

Axl sounds amazing here. Why doesn't he sing like this for the current Gunners tours? I think he plays it safe for his own band too much. I think most people would rather see an hour long Gn'R concert with Axl singing like this than three hours of him singing without all the grit and power he is known for. The ACDC gigs prove he can still do it.

Never heard Brian hitting these notes live ever unless there has been some vork done on it. Well done.

I didn't have high expectations for this honestly but was actually really impressed. Axl did it justice.

I loved it, he done way better than most people expected including me. Great job Axle!!

Axl was magnificent here!

Nice work!

That was really awesome!! Different but really right on!! Hell yeah

Love it !

Best KZfaq video I've seen in ages.

Had to be there. Epic !!!

Absolutely amazing job axl great video

Awesome 💪💪💪

Axl sounds really good singing with them!!!

For the amount of damage done to his vocal cords he nailed this. Amazing!!!

When you are among legends who no longer dedicate the time, who are too stars and live among millions, sometimes we have performances that only dedicated a couple of rehearsals to them because they are very good, here you can see that they rehearsed to perfection

How can axl get better and better as he gets older?! He's a beast 😳💪

Axel's respect for joining AC/DC is incredible. a big bow.

This was a "Great" AC/DC lineup! Period!

This is awesome. Axel is great 😎🤘

Trabalho incrível do Axl. Merece respeito !

sure not his style but this effort and this guy man i just give him a hat off and salute rock and roll 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 Wheve been THUNDERSTRUCK

This was really cool and Historical!

Kudos and cheers!

Axl was amazing. He did a great job on a song that to me is Brian's best AC/DC song. I thought they were crazy to hire Axl for the tour but he really stepped up and sounded much better than I expected. I guess maturity and getting away from GnR has given him a better work ethic. Not to mention it's fucking AC/DC and they'll accept nothing less.

Axl pulled out the rasp again, especially …. for AC/DC… Legendary 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I never would have thought this would work...but it does.

Nice mashup of rock styles 🙌🏾🙌🏾

First time seeing this and I'm impressed with Axel's performance.

Axl fronting one of the greatest bands in the planet and i know he is a fan of this band and thats awesome a dream come true for him

This was insane !!!!

Axl's entrance gives me chills!

i remember when they came to my country in 2016. The tickets were sold out fast. then Brian had to stop and they announce Axl would be the one performing in his place. A lot of people asked for a refund. So the tickets were being sold again an eventually they sold out again (tho slower). After the concert, most (if not all) people that returned their tickets were regretting their decision.

Axl did a real real great job !!!

I love it.

Damn! Love that he can still hit the high notes!!

El.uno....tan profesional ,siendo una estrella ..toma un empleo y de reemplazo... Un hombre que se gano todo lo que es y tiene con su propio esfuerzo

Thank you🌹🌹❤️❤️Just what the Doctor ordered. I love you🌹🌹❤️❤️Bring it on

What a voice. Axl nail it.

Axl sounds great on this

Awesome

Absolutely fantastic wish I had been there--classico

Sorry… I think he is awesome!! Love this

Stop criticising the hell out of your mouth. Axl is doing a great service to the history of the rock and roll. He is doing his best to keep the old school rock n roll alive. Think twice before driping your Venom

Damn I'm impressed, axel did a great job

Greatest rock and roll band of all time

Axl sounds amazing he is a legend

One of my biggest regrets... never saw them in concert! I've seen alot of bands...very few add up. Rock on AC/DC FOREVER

Siempre creí que el estilo de Axl Rose encajaba muy bien con AC/DC

Did it pretty well ! Like it

🔥🔥🔥🔥 AXL!!!!!

axl is phenomenal

wonderful energies here

Axl Rose us an amazing singer!❤

My favorite singer ever💗
