Well it sounds like something they would do, will have to see or hear when it comes out if he was near the mark !! Quote
wanna be drummer Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I love Brian Johnson and the Youngs...but i think Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams are incredibly boring. They dont do shit. Anywho, can't wait...that being said, sort of a stupid album title no? Quote
Xtazy Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 but i think Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams are incredibly boring. They dont do shit. Don't know 'bout Williams, but Rudd started to bore me a bit too. Chris Slade was more my type. He was a machine, doing things a bit more complex than Rudd (although AC/DC's style is pretty simple, in every way) and he was always smiling. He seemed to enjoy the shows more. But anyway, it's much easier to entertain the people as a guitarist than as a drummer, having the freedom of moving around and all. Quote
wanna be drummer Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Agreed, but I'm not just talking about live. Even on the album, rhythm section is boring. I mean the bass and drums are just plain simple...can't even take them seriously. Quote
Xtazy Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Yeah, that's AC/DC. Simple, tough rock 'n' roll. But I think that if the drums and bass parts were more complex, it wouldn't be AC/DC no more. Others: Saluting AC/DC A STAR-STUDDED line-up of local and international artists will stage a tribute concert to AC/DC at this year's Adelaide International Guitar Festival. The AC/DC We Salute You concert will close the festival on December 7 with main-stage acts performing their favorite AC/DC songs. Two former band members will be among about 30 musicians at Elder Park to celebrate the iconic Australian rock band. Original vocalist Dave Evans is travelling from his home in Texas, in the United States, and early bass player Mark Evans from Sydney. Full Article!

Xtazy Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 AC/DC's Black Ice Review Bob Lefsetz - the American music industry figure and author of the email newsletter and blog, the Lefsetz Letter, has issued the following review of AC/DC's new album, Black Ice, which will be released on October 20th through Columbia Records. Read the whole article here! Now this got me even more excited about the album. Hope Wal-Mart will post those song previews pretty soon. I wonder how Rock 'n Roll Dream sounds like. Well, I know it will rock, like any other song from the boys. But man, AC/DC does a sensitive song! Can't wait to hear it! Quote
MHD Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Can't wait for this...and the tour! Will make up for the '91 tour where I had tickets but then couldn't make as I had just had my son. I'm ready to rock for this one Quote
ally Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Agreed, but I'm not just talking about live. Even on the album, rhythm section is boring. I mean the bass and drums are just plain simple...can't even take them seriously. They are what they are. Steady and tight as hell. AC/DC is a beat driven band and they make no excuses for it. As a unit, I think they are a great rhythm section. Quote
tyedye Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Looking forward to it. I like the teaser clip. Quote
Xtazy Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 ATTENTION PLEASE!!! A preview (30 sec) for the single Rock 'n Roll Train from AC/DC's new album Black Ice is now available. Click here to listen to it! It was also published ot AC/DC's MySpace page. Whether is the real thing or not, we'll se when the song previews from Wal-Mart will be published. Quote

Xtazy Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 AC/DC Italia fansite reports that AC/DC's Black Ice will be available in three colors, each one with different graphics too! People got excited about 'Black Ice'. Some of the band's albums reached some high positions in this week's ARIA chart. The mysterious 30 second sample of Rock 'N Roll Train published on AC/DC's MySpace disappeared as quickly as it appeared. And guess what, SoloDallas, the YouTube guy who covers AC/DC songs like no other is back! More here! Quote
Reggie29 Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Rock and Roll Train premieres in 7 hours at 4.00 pm AEST. http://www.vega953.com.au/site/home.aspx Quote
Chetta2323 Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 cant wait to get it sounds like its gunna be awesome Quote
Xtazy Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 The Song Is Here! The song is streaming non-stop at AC/DC's official website. You can also find it at AC/DC's MySpace and on YouTube (poor quality). The song is pure AC/DC, good old rock 'n roll, catchy riff, Brian's vocals are more than I (and others) have expected. All that topped with Angus' explosive solo...one hell of a song! Can't wait to get my hands on the full album! later edit> found another YT vid, better quality this time! More here! Quote
