Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose joined Billy Joel on stage this past Saturday night during his concert at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles to perform two songs: AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell” and Joel’s own “Big Shot.”
In recent years Billy Joel has covered “Highway To Hell” during his concerts, often recruiting his roadie Chainsaw to sing lead vocal, but with Billy Joel performing in Los Angeles, it seemed fitting to get the guy who currently has been singing for AC/DC.
Last year was a big year for Axl Rose, besides Guns N Roses reuniting, Rose also did a string of European and North American concerts with AC/DC.
It is unknown whether Axl Roses will continue signing with AC/DC. The band’s future remains in doubt after the band completed its world tour in support of 2014’s “Rock Or Bust,” a cycle that saw a massive turnover in the group’s personnel. Guitarist and sole original member Angus Young has not yet indicated whether the group will continue recording and touring.
In March 2016, AC/DC’s singer of 35 years, Brian Johnson, had to leave the band’s North American tour after Doctors told him he might lose his hearing, while 40-year bassist Cliff Williams announced his retirement at the rescheduled trek’s conclusion.
The lineup that completed the tour consisted of Angus Young, Axl Roses, Cliff Williams, Chris Slade on drums and Angus Young’s nephew Stevie Young on guitar.
