Rose stepped in to assist the band and the pairing launched AC/DC's European tour in Lisbon on May 7 to rave reviews worldwide. The fall US dates start August 27 in Greensboro, NC and will wrap up in Philadelphia, PA on September 20.
"We're all looking forward to getting out there and playing," says guitarist Angus Young. "It's part of the whole tour; we're going to have a real blast. We'll probably have a few surprises, a few different songs when we do tour through America.
"The best thing about being in the band is the challenge of doing it again, getting out there and playing in front of people. Each show gets more and more exciting" Watch the video

"Can't take da ebayers so un42nutzly I's won'tz b signing things 4 awhile," tweeted Rose. "Much Love 2 the real fans!!" Professional autograph sellers frequently harass celebrities for signatures purely as a profit source at the literal and figurative expense of real fans, which causes artists like Rose and others to take the position that no signings will happen at all.
Rose made his AC/DC debut in Lisbon on May 7 and will play 13 dates on a spring run that has seen the band extend their Rock Or Bust setlist from 20 to 24 songs with the rotation of new additions representing classic tracks from Bon Scott-era: "Dog Eat Dog" from 1977's "Let There Be Rock", "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation" and "Riff Raff" from 1978's "Powerage", and "If You Want Want Blood (You've Got It)" and "Touch Too Much" from 1979's "Highway To Hell."
"With Axl, we've been able to mix up quite a few songs, do a few older ones and put them, which we haven't done in a number of years," guitarist Angus Young tells Planet Rock . "We always used to kind of get a setlist, and that would be it for a tour. So now we've got a lot more adding and putting in different tracks, and the fun part is when we get there on the stage, and seeing it come to life in front of the audience and seeing the reaction."

Support on all non-festival dates will be provided by Vice Squad - and Warwick reports he's excited for the shows to begin. He says: "We can't wait to get back out there and play a full-length set, and I am delighted that my old friends Vice Squad will be special guests.
"I've been a fan of Beki and the boys since their debut album No Cause For Concern. It's gonna be a helluva of an evening." Check out the dates for the trek

Vocalist Andy Leo says: "This album has been an accumulation of ideas, lessons and observations about who we are as a band and how we see the world.
"It's taken 5 years for us to grow and really nail down a sound that doesn't fit the status quo of what people are expecting from us. We've reinvented ourselves and we hope you enjoy the ride."

Carpenter recently said she'd been inspired by "teenage angst" to start writing music. She told M Magazine: "I was at school and beginning to feel quite different to my friends, beginning to enjoy different music to them.
"I guess in some ways I was shaping into more of a self-assured young woman, and I wrote about that. My first-ever song was called See Me Fly - it sounds like something from a Disney film."
She describes her music as "emotional and honest" and adds that it might appeal to people who like "songs with twangy guitars and too much tremelo." Watch the video
