Rose was recruited for twelve European dates and ten North American concerts after AC/DC singer Brian Johnson was forced off tour by hearing loss.

AC/DC's North American shows will likely take place later this year, after Rose completes his summer tour with the reunited lineup of GUNS N' ROSES.

During an interview with BBC 6 Music's Matt Everitt, Rose stated about his plans with AC/DC after the European shows: "There's makeup dates in the States, and if I don't get throw out before then, I'm looking forward to doing [them]. I think after that, it's about what they wanna do. I'm in if they want me in, and we'll sort it out, but right now that's getting ahead of ourselves with everything else that's on the table."

AC/DC guitarist Angus Young told NME in a separate interview that the band "had to act" immediately after learning that Johnson wouldn't be able to finish the tour. "It was a crisis that came then," he said. "We were in Miami at the time, when all of this came up, and unfortunately, when you're in that situation, you've got to make decisions pretty quick, because there are a lot of people waiting. We were supposed to actually play in Atlanta, so you're kind of going, 'What do we do now?' Because of the nature of Brian's deafness, we knew that there was no easy fix. So you've got to then say, 'What do we do here?' The options were very limited, and you think, if we just stop with all of this machinery, it's going to be a hell of a lot of legal entanglement."

Asked if they ever considered pulling the shows, AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams said: "We wanted to finish what we'd started."

Added Angus: "And that was our main goal, especially Cliff and myself, being there the longest. We wanted to complete what we had started. And I mean, you can't call a tour 'Rock Or Bust' and then go bust!"

Angus also talked about a possible AC/DC future with Brian Johnson. He said: "[Brian] has to be very careful of what hearing he's got left. This is what he told us. He was gutted about not finishing [the tour], because he says he would have loved to have gotten through. It was his call, what he wanted. He made that decision himself. He didn't want to be deaf. And I perfectly understand that; when you stop doing this, you want to walk away with all your pieces! I don't even want to leave without my fingernail!"

For the Libson show, Rose was still confined to a throne after snapping his metatarsal bone while singing during GUNS N' ROSES' Troubadour reunion show on April 1. It is the same custom throne Dave Grohl used last year for FOO FIGHTERS concerts after breaking a leg.

Asked how his recovery is going, Axl told BBC 6 Music: "I think we're about halfway there. I feel good. I've only started walking on a little bit on it the last few days, and now I'm starting to put weight on the front. It's inconvenient, but it's also helped me focus on the singing in another way. Other people are, like, 'How do you do that sitting down?' And I'm, like, 'It's a lot easier than standing up.' But I feel like an idiot; I do. I mean, I've done GUNS shows and I feel like a moron sitting there. But I have to ignore that and just get into the songs and do my best on the songs."

Rose met with AC/DC twice in March, in Miami and Atlanta, about doing the shows. Singers from AC/DC tribute acts were also auditioned, and at one point there was talk of having other vocalists alternate with Rose.

Despite a large negative reaction from fans to the collaboration, England's Metal Hammer magazine has listed several reasons why Rose fronting AC/DC is a "brilliant idea," saying, "Anybody who's watched GUNS N' ROSES' version of 'Whole Lotta Rosie' on YouTube must grudgingly admit that he riotously delivers the punch and snarl of the original. There is no debate that Axl has the style and the range to handle the band's current set list."

The magazine added that the eccentric GUNS frontman is "possessed of high intelligence and his own keen survival instinct. No way will Axl blow this."

I didn't realize before the announcement that AC/DC fans thought the band was so above G'n'R' hmm go figure.
Anyway, i think those video's will go a long way to alleviating their fears as Axl sounds great. The fans seem into it (but it is Europe). I just thought the initial reaction surprising. It's not like they replaced him with the guy from Lillian Axe.

I had to laugh at Roger Daltrey's comments on AC/DC deciding to tour without Brian Johnson.

Johnson is English and apparently a friend of Daltrey's.

Roger apparently was not happy about what he perceived as the band throwing Brian out and then deciding to move on, he remarked - "what do you expect from a bunch of Australians?"

I thought that was funny.

Spare me all the comments about The Who moving on without key members of their band, this has all been hashed and rehashed. I am simply commenting on how I thought Daltrey's disparaging remark is funny.

Give it some time. Axl has been on his best behavior. Let's see how Angus feels after the first late start. Axl will self destruct. In the Axl version of GnR, he called the shots and did as he wanted.

He has signed agreements with both the AC/DC people and the GnR people to act professionally and be on time. He will lash out eventually. Angus has been around too long to deal with that and Slash will walk immediately once the bull crap starts.

Sounds good but Axl Rose in a wheelchair singing w. AC/DC seems like some fevered Beavis and Butt-Head dream.

Hard rock 2016: one guy arrested, one guy too deaf to play, one guy with dementia. Add wheelchair-bound singer from another legendary band and carry on!

Yup funny when you consider the Aussie's only ended up down there cause they were thrown out of England.

And it was Daltrey who insisted on Kenny Jones not being included as a condition to his (Daltrey's) participation in the 1989 reunion. (Putting aside whether that was the right choice for The Who's music.)
