AC/DC New album and Tour.

27-01-2021 6:55pm

I'm liking it more and more with each listen. It's nothing groundbreaking from them, but then again - nobody does it quite like them either - good songs, good groove all the way through - no complaints here!

Brian has a book coming out in October, can't imagine it will expose any dark secrets, but it should be entertaining, wonder what will he say about leaving the band in 2016.

Bastard of a spot to get in and out for Gig .. But probally the only Band I would consider making that Journey for

Camp. I've been to Slane loads and never had the hassle of getting in and out as I've arrived the day before and left the day after.

First went to Slane for Guns in 2017, vowed when i left the only band to make me go there again would be Metallica, this was highly improbable too.

Leaving Slane at end of Metallica and vowed the only other band to drag me there would be DC

Awesome iconic venue but getting out is a disaster, i only live up the road in Trim so not as bad as most others

Say Your Number · 15-04-2021 7:13pm

I thought the band was done when the last tour ended, I'd bite your hand off to go through the living hell of leaving Slane again, in fact I'd walk there barefoot if it meant I got to see them one more time.

grames_bond · 16-04-2021 10:01am

If AC/DC are announced for Slane I am 100000% going to go....

...to another country to see them - f*ck that castle and it's very existence as a "venue"!

If you can afford it, knock yourself out. I love Slane.

PTH2009 · 17-04-2021 1:32am

I didn't find Slane that bad at Metallica in terms of getting in and out, heard a lot of horror stories about it in the past but was grand. That said getting to the bar and toilets was a pain esp as the day went on. I went up on a bus and they were parked in a quarry about 20/30 min walk, best thing is timing your exit

I'd love to get one of the VIP seated tickets

I was 'Golden Circle' for Metallica. I'd much rather be there than in a seat. The bar and toilets were a complete ballache as the day went on alright. In saying that, they're the same as that at pretty much any one-dayer or festival.

happyoutscan · 17-04-2021 7:42pm

Think I've attempted every option with Slane.

*Camped
*Up and down on the bus
*Stayed in Dublin and got bus out and back
*Last year stayed with friends living in Slane

Been there 7 times and would go again in the morning.

couldn't recommend the camping enough. great setup there for metallica

Ordered it there. Thanks for the heads-up.

Alas, the order was cancelled, due to the release of the book delayed by another year!

What a balls.

Say Your Number · 29-10-2022 8:00am

Anyone else read Brian's book, reading about his childhood and everything up to 1979 was interesting, after that we're into well worn territory, it only covers Back in Black and the last few years, wish there was more insights into life with AC/DC still it was a good read.

PTH2009 · 30-10-2022 8:20pm

Are they going to tour next year ??

briany · 30-03-2023 4:45pm

AC/DC look to be down to play a rock supershow along with GnR, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden and Tool this October.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/power-trip-metallica-ozzy-osbourne-acdc-guns-n-roses-1234705537/

Commence speculation as to whether this is a one-off thing or will it be part of a larger tour?

The Nal · 30-03-2023 4:54pm

Defo a larger tour but they probably have to wait until this thing sells so they dont dilute the marketing.

Say Your Number · 02-04-2023 3:07am

They were quiet for a good while, would have been an awful shame if COVID prevented them from one last tour, hope there is more to come and the band gets to go out on their own terms.

Say Your Number · 09-09-2023 8:02pm

Just seeing that a chap called Matt Laug is playing drums for them at Power Trip, never heard of him, but he's played for some big names, is Rudd not up it anymore or his criminal record causing problems.

lord lucan · 09-09-2023 8:11pm

I'd say Rudd can't get a visa for the U.S. due to his conviction and it was easier to get someone else to fill in.

Say Your Number · 08-10-2023 1:05pm

Haven't seen any footage of gig last night, but that looks like a great setlist.

If You Want Blood, Riff Raff, Stiff Upper Lip.

Throw in Gone Shootin' and it would be perfect, if they do tour and I get a chance to see them I'd be happy with that.

Great setlist but Brians vocals...oh dear, horrendously bad :-(

Say Your Number · 08-10-2023 9:20pm

Given he's 76 and his voice has been teetering on the brink for 30 odd years it's a minor miracle he has any voice at all.

scudzilla · 08-10-2023 9:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121211223#Comment_121211223

oh yeah, totally agree, but listening to the odd few tracks from last night, not a chance does his voice hold out for a farewell tour

briany · 24-10-2023 8:01pm

Somebody's started a rumour on Facebook that Phil Rudd is potless and is trying to raise money for a medical operation by selling memorabilia out of the boot of his car. Take this with a massive pinch of salt.

briany · 19-11-2023 12:36am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121279700#Comment_121279700

Rumour is true, but the operation isn't for himself, rather it was to raise funds for the care of a woman he describes as 'the love of his life' who has terminal cancer. This would likely explain his absence from Power Trip, wanting to stay home and help look after her.

Say Your Number · 19-11-2023 1:04am

Given how grim it was for him the last time they toured it's nice to see something heartwarming like that.

If there is a tour hope he can make it, although reading acdcfans, the lads over there seem more accepting of Laug than Slade.

briany · 19-11-2023 1:37am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121386574#Comment_121386574

Not hard to see why. Slade is a class act, but he's something like 76 and well past his best at this point.

yeah have to agree with you, much prefer it to be AC/DC

feels less than 6 years since that Croke Park show, was brillant tbf but think they will need a strong support lineup this time round. The Academic was such as odd choice looking at other cities support

Say Your Number · 10-02-2024 7:02am

Looking at acdcfans apparently Chris Chaney will be on bass for the tour, disappointing if true, but if Cliff doesn't want to tour what can you do, makes me glad I saw the Back in Black line up 15 years ago.
