Axl Rose, Guns N' Roses front man has replaced AC/DC singer and debuted in a Lisbon concert on Saturday. His recent gigs turned out to be a huge success and now the fans want the band to have more performances lined up.

According to reports, Axl Rose showed up late by five minutes but was able to fit into the AC/DC music effortlessly. There have also been previous reports about Axl Rose arriving late at a GNR concert because he wanted to finish "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie.

Even though he appeared slightly later than this scheduled time, Axl Rose more than made up for it by his stellar performance in the gig. Reports also added that his fractured leg or the fact that he was bound to a chair did not impact his performance as performed the concert list with just as much alacrity.

Axl Rose justified the classic AC/DC numbers such as "Rock or Bust,"Shoot to Thrill"and "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be," beautifully. In fact, he sounded marvelous in company of Cliff Williams, band bassist; Angus and Stevie Young, guitarists; and drummer, Chris Slade.

Axl Rose replaced frontman Brian Johnson after he stopped touring out of fear of losing his hearing ability. Rose added that his job of stepping for Johnson was rather difficult one. "He's a great singer," Axl Rose mentioned in the Gulf News report. "I'm just trying to do it justice for the fans." Many fans were happy to see Axl Rose fill in for Johnson and believe that he is the perfect fit for AC/DC.
