AC/DC New album and Tour.

rovers_runner · 07-10-2020 9:58am

Reminds me of FOTS or FOTW era sound, hopefully the rest of the album is as good.
Every song can be linked back to ridin' or drinkin', never change men, never change.

I love it.

Was anyone expecting them to come out with an operatic prog metal concept album?

People sneer at bands who stick to a set formula their entire career and whinge if they do something completely different, one of those situations where you can't win, after all the drama surrounding ROB I'm delighted to get another album out of them, don't think anyone is deluded enough to think it'll be anywhere near their 77-80 heyday, but it's something to look forward to, if it's on the same level as SUL/BI then I'd be happy with that.

Yeah same here. Though I fear the quality control has dipped since Malcolm's exit just before they released Rock or Bust, which to my ears the lacked the blues rock of the 95 to 08 albums, and recalled the stadium rock excess of For Those About To Rock right up to The Razor's Edge.

But why though? What's the point in having a gig announced right now?

You need to forget about gigs for a while, find another hobby in the mean time.

Has AC/DC ever recorded a song with acoustic guitars out of curiosity?

Of course. Have you not seen ACDC doing "MTV Unplugged" from circa 1993?

"Giving the Dog a Bone" is a particular highlight.

I was talking to a friend of mine in LA last night. He started a podcast from his couch nine years ago. Today, he became the first person to ever interview AC/DC for a podcast.

I'm pretty freakin' stoked for him right now.

He's a friend of yours? I've been following his podcasts on and off, mostly on, for a good few years now.
Brian Johnson was on an English military podcast recently, but it wasn't an AC/DC podcast I guess...

Roanmore · 20-10-2020 9:20am

I've been following him as well, some good stuff on there.

Lithium93_ · 20-10-2020 7:35pm

They haven't done any acoustic guitar stuff, but damn it I wish Angus would incorporate the slide into his guitar playing more often.

The sample of Demon Fire has me a bit more up for this album even if the chorus reminds me of their 80's output (excluding Back in Black).

What do people here think?

Think the whole album will be like that TBH. Black Ice was something of a classic record and return to form for the band and while ROB had it's moments it's not essential AC/DC.

In any event, a new AC/DC album is something to be welcomed and hopefully and perhaps more importantly, a worldwide tour in the near future.

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.

Really who cares? I'm just glad all the boys are back together again and it makes 2020 a little less ****.

Generic as **** but still great

Cant wait to hear it been blasted in Slane Castle in the near future

Listening to the album here now & I love it! Few really good tunes on there, best since SUP or BB for sure, I will be buyin it of course on release to support the band I just couldn't resist when I found it

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.

Is this your first time hearing a AC/DC album?

peter4918 · 14-11-2020 12:29pm

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!

They always keep the same stage presence no matter the year and whos in the band going by those pics impressive

Realize is one of the best songs off the new album

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)
