PS : traduction non de mon fait ... prise sur un forum anglais !
Media and fans have celebrated since the start of the European tour in Lisbon everywhere. How do you rate the previous gigs in the new constellation?
Angus Young: It was fun, it was very exciting. It is also a challenge, perhaps because of the circumstances that Brian is not there and Axl came about to help us to end this tour. So - it was exciting.
Is it a strange feeling to be on stage without Brian Johnson?
Angus Young: It is of course different. But Axl has fun. He does it very well.
Cliff Williams: Axl is easy to hit and has started very well. He sings the songs very well, it works very well with the material and he has brought some other songs. They are of older albums and we had not played recently. It's fun and it's different, both for us and for the audience.
The voice of Axl Rose is similar to your ex-singer Bon Scott. Now you can also play more old songs, right?
Angus Young: Yes, Axl like many of these songs. He grew up with Bon.
Why did Axl Rose selected as a replacement singer?
Angus Young: He approached by himself to someone. He knows that we are a very dedicated band and said that if they need someone to finish their tour, he would like to do.
Is it certain that Axl Rose will replace in the forthcoming US concerts Johnson?
Angus Young: Yes, he will play the American concerts.
With Brian Johnson you interact a lot on stage. With Axl Rose is due to the leg injury, however difficult, is it?
Angus Young: We do our best. At first it was a little unusual, but I was always flexible - especially on the stage. But over the last concerts Axl was much more flexible. He could get up, so there was a lot more interaction.
Which is great. Now we have to even go out of the way (laughs).
Have there been a response from Brian Johnson, he has video of the Europe-concerts watched? What does he say?
Cliff Williams: I do not know if he has seen it.
Angus Young: But I know that he has wished Axl and the band all the best.
Do you currently have contact with Brian Johnson?
Cliff Williams: Yes, sure. Brian cares about his hearing, why it came to this situation. He must take care of it. He must pay attention to his health. Brian is happy that Axl is there.
Only the dementia of Malcolm Young, then unsightly headlines by drummer Phil Rudd, now the story of Brian Johnson - they thought it ever quit?
Angus Young: Yes, sure, sometimes. Every thing that comes towards you, is hard. But my brother Malcolm always said you have to go on. This he has always believed. It was his idea, his creation. He always said, you have to just go with it.
As the rock and roll heart beats just kept?
Angus Young: One does continue as long as it goes. If you still Bock and you do it gladly.
How long continues the band? Are there any plans for a new album?
Cliff Williams: Now at first you about to conclude this tour, it we use all our energy. And then we will see.
Angus Young: That was a big challenge for us. We are pleased that we can meet the tour dates. Everything else has to wait.
When heavy metal festival in Wacken has not yet occurred by the Great only AC / DC and Metallica. Is there a chance that you will be playing again in the small village in Schleswig-Holstein?
Angus Young: Who knows. Maybe sometime.
Cliff Williams: The possibility is always there.
The Hamburg football club FC St. Pauli played "Hells Bells" as a running anthem. Did you know that? What do you think?
Angus Young: That's very good, that's fantastic. I did not know that.
Ca f’rait plein de jaloux / Qui n’en ont pas du tout / Ca f’rait plein d’envieux / Qui n’en ont pas chez eux / Ca f’rait plein de méchants / Qu’en ont pas de si grand / ca f’rait plein de badauds / Qu’ont rien vu d’aussi beau
) d'Axl qui a l'air de vraiment pousser pour se faire une place, Angus continue dans son esprit à le cantonner à son rôle de Guest et le dit publiquement.
