Axl Rose replaced frontman Brian Johnson due to hearing problems
AC/DC played their first gig with Axl Rose over the weekend, after frontman Brian Johnson was advised by doctors to stop touring due to problems with his hearing.
The decision to recruit the Guns N Roses frontman was not taken too kindly by some AC/DC fans, who demanded refunds and questioned whether the band should continue at all.

The setlist was as follows.
1. Rock or Bust
