    Well maybe not,


    AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson feels "kicked to the kerb" after the band confirmed he had been replaced by Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose for the rest of their tour.

    Johnson has been warned he will suffer total hearing loss if he continues performing and AC/DC said they "respect" the singer's decision to bow out.

    But Johnson has reportedly voiced dismay at his swift exit.

    US comedian and radio host Jim Breuer said he had talked to Johnson, and that he felt "kicked to the kerb" by his bandmates.

    In a statement posted on their website, the band said: "AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years.

    Axl Rose is one of the world's great knob jockeys. Brian Johnson is a really good bloke.

    Guess that money's talking, but no BJ, no Malcolm Young, no Phil Rudd doesn't equal AC/DC in my book.

    Top guy is BJ, spent some time in his company, and he is as sound as a pound.

    I remember BJ from his "Geordie" days.
    A quality band on the club circuit.

    When asked what Brian Johnson thought about being replaced by Axl Rose, the singer replied "what?".
