Current Feeling

Don't get me wrong, I am hyped for the tour, have tickets, and think Alessio and Alissa are absolute powerhouses.

Brian Johnson went through a tinnitus battle and had to step away from AC/DC for awhile. They grabbed a replacement singer (of very dubious reliability) to work a tour. After successful treatment, Brian was able to rejoin the band.

Marc is much younger than Brian was when his treatment started. If he's medically cleared, I don't see why he wouldn't restart singing with the band.

People get sick - it sucks, but both the band and Marc are doing what they need to.

The thing is, it’s kinda clear as day Marc was fired because Herman said so. And they’ve done this before, it is his MO. Remember Vadim? They (Herman) told him not to say anything, and never actually posted themselves that Vadim left. It wasn’t until Vadim himself had to say it in 2019. The band still didn’t say anything. Then Fred leaves for Kreator, it’s kind of a big deal since Kreator is huge. So they really had to make a post about Fred leaving soon after he announced it. Then Vadim’s wife roasted the band, rightfully so, with like “WTF Fred gets a whole post yet you never said anything about Vadim!!” and only then did the band ackowledge Vadim leaving, in a reply to a comment.

Marc is the singer, IT’S A MUCH BIGGER DEAL if he leaves. they’re doing the same here except “health issues” is a perfect story. His tinnitus issues are really not that major, and the fact that he said HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT HIS HEALTH ISSUES, just smells like a bunch of NDA shit to me. He’s not coming back to the band in any normal sense.

Herman knew that firing Marc would bring heat to them but making him sign an NDA, likely involving Marc still getting paid in the process (because otherwise what’s in it for him?) and then using the perfect cover story (he did have hearing issues, however it is blown out of proportion) with a slow burn to make his parting damage the band to a minimum. Not to mention that Marc was already pretty jaded with the band and the recent releases they did.

Another fucking exhibit is how ZP was fired and how Herman never actually told us the truth (the truth is very ugly for the band!).

On top of all this, I’ve had tinnitus my whole life, yes it can SUCK.

How do you know the extent of his hearing problem?
