How about this guy for new AC/DC singer?

People need to give it a rest about a new vocalist. Either have Brian back at least just for studio or call it quits tbh.

Linton Osbourne sang for Nazareth , I think he's a good fit

Out of respect to Malcolm I think Angus should call it a day cos AC/DC don't need to prove anything anymore.

If Angus wants to keep on playing live maybe he could team up with Angry Anderson front man of Rose Tattoo that other Aussie heavy rock band of note.

E-Z

Joe Lyn Turner might be available.

Apparently it's still Axl.

AC/DC will continue to tour, record new music with Axl Rose: Report

Official AC/DC forum has rumour from sources that Brian is due to return to the band to tour and do an album.

This is NOT Nazareth, Its Manny Charleston. Manny left Nazareth in the early 80's. And personally, I don't think this guy is a good fit even for Manny's band

It's better to burn out than to fade away, just kidding.

I think it's AC/DC's time to hang it up UNLESS they can bring back Brian Johnson.

They replaced one singer.
They could replace another.
After all what he does is not exactly Pavarotti.
Hell they could plug Jim Brewer into the band and probably do an acceptable rendition.
One thing about AC/DC it ain't fancy. And god bless them for it.

The question is at what point does it start to feel a bit silly.

I agree and disagree. Yes, it's not Pavarotti BUT it's a certain sound and persona people grow to like. They replaced Bon Scott with Brian Johnson a LONG time ago. They had no choice, Bon died. I do remember that, and at the time I did not like Brian that much. He still sounded good but I wasn't used to it. I did grow to like Brian over the years. People are used to Brian and his sound. If it was a drummer or a bass player we were talking about, then yes you could replace them easily. Vocals, not so much. Not as many people would buy the albums.

As an example, could any other singer replace Robert Plant in Led Zeppelin? It ain't fancy either is it?

Yeah I thought they went and got a guy who did a pretty good rendition of Bon Scott at the time.
Which I found a bit off putting. But after a bit I didn't care because the songs were great.
I'm sure they could do the same thing again.
The really big loss is Malcolm.
He wrote the songs.
They could get 20 people to replace Brian but Malcolm is not replaceable.
He wrote all of the songs and music for Back In Black. Angus got some credit but I've heard that it was 99% Malcolm. That's not something you can replace.
From here in the best they can hope for is to be a cover band IMO.
Or to try to write songs in the style of Malcolm which will inevitably not be as good.
