Yo Acca, any concrete plans for a concert attendance anytime soon?
It looks like the US tour dates (at least the first leg) just got announced. Looking at San Fran or LA.Quote:

I'm looking at San Fran. Seeing them on the water at AT&T park would be epic. They last played SLC in 2001. I saw them twice that year, also in Phoenix. They didn't stop here on their last tour...2008-2010. I travelled to San Diego.
Theyve already been back hereQuote:

They sell out everywhere they play within hours...worldwide.

Are these just random ACDC pix, or pix of concerts you actually attended? I'm just trying to figure out if you're really into ACDC or just a poseur. I can't quite tell...
40 year anniversary of Highway to Hell. Love this old footage they dug up. There are rumors of a new album and tour in the works.

How?
Phil Rudd isn't with the band anymore, Brian Johnson quit as per doctor's orders (hearing loss), and Malcolm is dead. Today's AC/DC is a mere fragment of what it was. It's currently a Guns n' Roses/ACDC hybrid, with Axl Rose at lead vocals.
I'm curious how this Frankenstein'ed version of AC/DC will sound...
As long as Agnes is alive, the band is alive.Quote:

Bon Scott in that video is young and ripped. How the heck a guy that looks so strong could drink himself dead in one night just baffles me.
^^^ Evidently his liver wasn't as strong as his abs. Acute alcohol poisoning will take you down regardless of strength or stamina.
He still wears a schoolboy outfit, minus the backpack though.Quote:

Where have you been? Brian and Phil were spotted outside a recording studio last August. So minus Malcolm Young, it looks like it will be the same lineup as they had in 1980. They’ve got Stevie Young in Malcolm’s place and he has filled in for Malcolm a few times dating back to 1988.Quote:

It's interesting that they would be getting back together because Brian Johnson's hearing is all jacked up due to an incident at a race track several years ago. Didn't wear his ear plugs or something.
Read the article above or google it. They got some new technology for his ears.Quote:

I own probably 2000 albums and when I really like an artist, I'll usually collect their entire discography. Never did get into AC/DC. I remember when Back In Black came out...yeah, it was a good album but not really any different than anything they'd put out up to that point...their music all sounded the same to me. That can be said about a lot of bands, certainly...but this band was like the king of that to my ears.
There is one exception and it's the only AC/DC album I own...Powerage. That album sounds like they just put microphones in a room and the boys just cut loose. Very raw, live sound with outstanding guitar solos...the best he ever did, IMO.
I was painting the interior of a house a few years ago and the gal that lives there asked if I'd like to listen to music while I worked. "Well, of course" I said. "As long as it isn't Rap or "New Country" then we're good"...she played Back in Black, the whole album. Right after that, she played Def Leppard's Pyromania.
Those two albums sound EXACTLY ALIKE. Then I learned those albums were produced by the same guy...kind of a one trick pony with the multitrack vocal anthem sound.
I'm familiar with a lot of bands from the 70s that are a bit obscure but made outstanding music...lots to choose from. Along with that is the fact that a lot of very famous bands that formed in the early/mid 70s had their earliest albums as their best, IMO...the music is usually much more varied than the "formula" they locked into after getting famous. One band that is not obscure at all but their earliest albums are unfamiliar to most people is Judas Priest. If you're not familiar with it, listen to their album "Sad Wings Of Destiny"...it'll likely blow you away. Listen to it LOUD.
Legendary track...
