AC/DC Do 'Touch Too Much' Live!

This is rare! AC/DC, with Axl Rose on vocals, just performed "Touch Too Much" live for the first time in more than 35 years. Axl is sounding great on these dates and now he's up and moving around, too! The show below is from Prague, Czech Republic. I love it when bands drop rare tracks into the set from time to time.

Very cool! Say what you will about the Axl fronted AC/DC but at least they're mixing up the setlists which is very unusual for the band.

H-U-U-U-G-E!!! Axl proclaimed in that fairly recent TMZ interview as he was departing from LAX for Europe, this is his current favorite AC/DC song. And you can see why from his performance in the clip. I and some of my AXL/DC trainspotters and I'm sure many more are beyond thrilled they brought this back after so long. Thanks for bringing it to us, Al, and thanks to the person who filmed it!

That was wicked. One of my favorite AC/DC songs. Wow. I'm speechless.

AXL/DC ain't looking too bad to me right now. Who knew.

[GNR]

She wanted it hard, wanted it fast
She liked it done medium rare !!!


Absolute blast of a AC/CD slithering sexy tune. And yes, I whole heartedly agree when setlists contain gems. I came for a show not the greatest hits (looking at you Motley Crue)

[Kari]

DYNOOOOO-MITE!! Lovin me some AXL/DC in 2016; just can't get enough!!!

[Metalboy!]

Yeah, GNR, and don't forget she had...

The body of Venus with Arms!

I know i am in the minority here, but Axl just doesn't sound good, period. His falsetto range, which used to be his strength, is just not there anymore. Now it just sounds strained.Glad I passed on this tour.

Everything I've heard/seen so far from AXL/DC has been phenomenal.
I pray they release an official live CD/DVD combo from this Axl fronted version of the band.

[Metalboy!]

Agreed, Jakki... But on my 5th viewing of the video of this song, as good as it is, I have to agree with Jeff to a point here, at least on this particular song, Axl in not singing this one as full throated as he's sounded on songs earlier in the set or nearly all of the songs at all the shows previous this year, both Gn'R AND AC/DC!

But it may just be where he needed to rest his voice in the set, I just wished he's picked a different song to do that on if that is the case.

[Bob]

Axl's calling card is his strong falsetto. The problem for him with "Touch too Much" is that the verses aren't in a high enough register to take advantage of his falsetto. when you get Axl into lower notes, he isn't much of a singer, and this particular song exposes that flaw in his voice. I'm still glad they're playing it, but this song simply doesn't suit Axl's voice.

[Metalboy!]

I thought it might be something like that. Shouldn't they just retune it for his signature scream?

I wonder why he said it's his favorite if he's gonna get a tad worbly on it.

Again, it's not horrible but you can hear he's being a little tentative and timid on it at times.
