AC\DC

[Juggz]

Johnson & Rudd are back, Williams is out of retirement and a new album is imminent. Anyone give a shit? The last essential album came out in 1980 and the last few albums were pretty shite but this snippet sounds decent. I am interested in hearing more.

Wouldn't have much interest in a new album but they're still on the bucket list to see live, I think a gig at Slane is inevitable, should Covid ever fuck off.

[Cailleach]

Like the previous poster, i'm not too bothered about a new album, but I would love to see them live again. 

[Giggles]

That sounds good. The last album I listened to was Black Ice, and while it's not essential, it's still very enjoyable.

[Carnage]

Their albums generally have 3 or 3 decent songs each anyway so nothing to get excited about, the last AC/DC songs I liked was on The Razor's Edge. The ultimate 'best of' band (which is probably why the've never released one).

Yeah as others have said its not the new album but rather the tour that follows it, but as mentioned, the old covid and these boys aren't young (hahahahahaha)

I remember the scramble for tickets back in 2009 for the black ice tour. I queued for about 6 hours outside Cameron's in Ballymena. Was 7th in queue and heard number 13 was the last one to get tickets. Heard rumours that people queued a day or two in advance at grahams in coleraine but don't know if that was true or not.

Yes they have!!!!

Saw them at Punchestown in 2008 (?), while I didn't  enjoy the experience there in general it was still great to see them.  Malcolm was there too . So, was Axl Rose just a stand in then?  New track sounds just as you would expect from them, nothing bad/surprising/special.

News to me, what's it called?

Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip were the last two I really enjoyed. Didn't really like Black Ice. Rock or Bust was decent, the title track is a classic, up there with their best stuff in my opinion.  Not mad about the sound on this, doesn't sound very ballsy, it's a bit tame sounding to me.

[Ducky]

Come to think of it, I don't actually know anything post-The Razor's Edge (bar Stiff Upper Lip, which used to keep me company on the walk home from college in first year).

Might lash them up on Spotify tomorrow and see what's the buzz (or lack thereof).

Yeah, made it to punches town as well. Weather wasn't brilliant and the crowd seemed to be full of tools. But like you said, good to see the band doing their stuff.

Strangely enough it's the iron man 2 soundtrack. Even though some of the songs are deeper cuts so I suppose it's not a fully fledged greatest hits either.

[Carnage]

Ah yeah, I wouldn't count that.

[Pedrito]

The Razor's Edge is pure essential. For those about to Rock a great effort too. I like Flick of the Switch, but yeah there's none of them chock a block quality like Dirty Deeds or Let there be Rock, just pure quality from start to finish them early albums.

Would love to see them love again. What an experience.
