    How do you know you're not listening to "Rock or Bust"?

    What I've heard is so generic, it's untrue. Isn't this all ideas previously left on the cutting floor by Malcolm? AND not considered good enough for Rock or Bust, which were also old ideas.

    I've seen a few interviews with Angus and the songwriting process is that the brothers Young have amassed boxes and boxes of tapes containing partial song ideas and riffs that they would revisit when writing each album. It's not entirely fair to say that each album is a product of what was left over from the previous one, but Angus did also say that some of the songs on this latest album are things which they didn't finish when writing Black Ice. Not that they didn't want to finish them, but that they felt they had enough material.

    Anyway, quite liking the new album. It's a more consistent listen than Rock or Bust although the lead single isn't as strong as Play Ball, imo.

    It’s AC/DC so nothing new to see/hear on this but some great songs on it. So far really enjoying rejection, through the mists of time, the witches spell and demons fire.

    Really hope to see them on tour with this when things get back to normal!

    After a week, I'm enjoying Power Up so much more than Black Ice and Rock or Bust.
    It's seems to have a lot of the Bluesy-ness of Stiff Upper lip.
    Demon Fire (Could've been a bonus track on SUL) Witches Spell and Kick you when you're down are getting Plenty of play time.

    Stuff Upper Lip is my favourite of the last 3, so that bodes well for me.

    Great Record,
    Particularly loving 'Through The Mists Of Time'
    Sounds quite sentimental, can't help thinking about Malcolm when I listen to it

    With the album number 1 in Ireland, Slane Castle is defiantly a runner now for a gig in summer 2022 (Cant see it happening in 2021)

    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.

    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

    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.
