Alice Cooper Says Axl Rose’s Voice Is ‘Absolutely Perfect’ for AC/DC
20 April 2016
The announcement that Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose would be stepping in for AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson on upcoming tour dates due to Johnson’s hearing condition has drawn mixed reviews. Alice Cooper is among those that thinks the pairing is a good one.
Cooper tells Rolling Stone, “I just think that’s such a unique combination. Whoever has tickets to that show has got the golden ticket, because who doesn’t want to see that?”
When Cooper first heard the rumblings that Rose would step in for Johnson, he wasn’t sure about it. “At first I thought it was an April Fool’s thing,” Cooper says. “I went, ‘Oh, come on.’ Then I started thinking about it and said, ‘You know, his voice is absolutely perfect for that band. That might just work.'”
Cooper and Rose share a bandmate. Bassist Duff McKagan is in both Hollywood Vampires and Guns N’ Roses. With GN’R’s upcoming reunion tour, Hollywood Vampires needed to find a fill-in for their upcoming tour that launches May 24 in Verona, N.Y.. They tapped Robert DeLeo from Stone Temple Pilots for the slot.
