    My son went Saturday nite and felt the concert great....better than
    the Who Made Who tour last year.  Music and selections were better,
    and seemed to be more songs featuring Angus. 
            

    
    Okay.  I'm going to give everyone my two cents on the AC/DC show
    Friday night at the Centrum in Worcester, MA.  Having never had
    the opportunity to attend an AC/DC show before, I don't know if
    this is how all their shows are done or not, but I found it really
    disappointing.
    
    Now, don't get me wrong.  I like Angus just as much as the next
    person, but they overdid him.  I went to hear AC/DC's songs and
    to listen to Brian Johnson - NOT to hear Angus wail on the guitar
    for 10 minutes at a time every time you turned around.
    
    And of course, you always get the jerk standing next to you who
    has to fight with the security guard because he's drunk to the hilt
    and falling off the chair!!  (Of course that has nothing to do with
    the music, but it's still annoying!)
    
    L.A. Guns opened.  Their songs are good on vinyl, I'm sure.  But
    as far as live?  They had a lot of feedback and they didn't know
    where they were!!!!!!  I can understand if you say you're in the
    wrong town once, but twice!!???  
    
    "Hey!!  Everyone out there in Boston???  You want to party?!?!?!?"
    
    I felt like holding a sign up and saying "Hey! Sh*thead!  You're
    in Worcester!"
    
    I'll give credit where credit is due, they had some terrific props
    and such.  One including the AC/DC bell rising up out of the stage.
    And the Heatseeker missile rising from the stage, also.  But I can't
    help but say that I was really disappointed.
    
    Two weeks ago, I went to see Poison and DLR.  They were twice as
    loud as AC/DC.
    
    If you're an AC/DCaholic, go.  If not, you're not really missing
    much.
    
    ....just my opinion.
    
    
    /kim 
    
    
    
    

    Sorry Kim, I'm going to have to tell my side!
    
    I went to Hells Bells, Who made Who and friday night to see Heatseeker.
    They are gradually getting better.  Angus was playing to much not
    to mention when he was playing, he drools alot.  
    
    The only songs I wish they played but didn't were:
    
                         Sink the Pink
                         For Those About To Rock
                         Let's Get It Up
    
        I never heard L.A. Guns until Friday night.  I'm sure they sound
    better on album.  If I knew their music, I might of enjoyed it better.
    As for the sign, we chucked him the finger to do the trick.
    
    Kim, where were you?  I was Section 3 Row C Seats 16 and 15 on the
    floor!

    	Could any of you AC/DC die hard fans give me a complete list
    of the albums the band has cut ?   My son is wanting to get everything
    they've ever done and I can't remember 'em all !!

    Powerage is another.
    
    Blow Up Your Video - Heat Seeker is a cut off the album.
    
    I saw a picture disk at a record show this weekend that had a song
called "Snake Eyes", anyone heard of it before?
    
    There are also special edition albums out of "Dirty Deeds..." and
"High Voltage" (I think those are the ones), that have some different
cuts on it.  For example, the "Dirty Deeds..." one has "Jailbreak" and
a song called "R.I.P. (Rock in Peace).  The "High Voltage" one has a
rendition of Chuck Berry's "School Daze" (that's the way it's spelled
on the album).  I've seen them at Strawberrys.

    There are a few Australian-released albums (in the early years),
    one being called High Voltage (also), but is a different format
    and contains a modified song list (ie - includes a cover of School
    Days).

    Thanx Buck !!!  See now I don't have to worry about my son spending
    his allowance on dope.  I give him a copy of your list and I EXPECT
    to see a new AC/DC tape come in the house every week !  That's the
    great thing about Heavy Metal music - same rush, less money, twice
    as addictive !!

    Hi all!!  True AC/DC fanatic here.  Just a note to mention that
    COMET::RECORDS has a lengthy note on AC/DC that I started (with
    a lot of flaming involved) numbered 568 I believe.  I'll write 
    a copy of the original note to see if any of you can answer my
    question.
    
    Breifly, I have a copy of a "Touch Too Much" Maxi-Single album
    in which the band is pictured playing left-handed or the picture
    has been flipped.  I have never seen another copy of this album
    and am very curious to see if anyone else owns one.
    
    Also, my brother (he's in NY and I'm in CO so it's hard to give
    too many details) has an "AC/DC Live Limited Edition" album that
    is UNBELIEVIBLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!  But again, I haven't seen 
    anyone else with one and in particular would die to find it on CD!!
    
    Carl.

    Ok, someone had to open up an AC/DC note, right?  Well, having been
    a fanatical fan since there early days (saw them when they were
    a warm-up band for Van Halen!!) I thought I'd be the opener.  So
    like here's a tough one for you all:
    
    I have a copy of the AC/DC maxi-single "Touch Too Much" (limited
    edition, Atlantic Records #ATL20-206).  Apparently, this album was
    recorded in France during their '79 European Tour and was pressed
    in Germany.  (French recording # WE-211).  Ok, on the front of this
    album [cover] is a color shot of the band on stage (with, of course,
    Bon Scott!!!) but THEY ARE ALL PLAYING LEFT HANDED!!!!  Has anyone
    else seen this album or even heard of it?  And if so, is the picture
    on the front supposed to be like that?  I have not seen another
    copy of this album nor have I found anyone else with one.  HELP!!!!!
    
    
    Carl.

    
        RE: Carl
    
                 (Sheepish grin) ... I feel bad about yelling at
                 Riff Raff for his love of Angus - I replied to
                 his glorification of Angus by saying he couldn't
                 play more than one riff, and that he basically
                 sucked.  But I wasn't completely serious - just
                 told him I thought EVH was 10x better.  But I
                 apologized, because it really was uncalled for. 8^)
    
                 I've seen some pictures that were like that ... I
                 took some photos out of magazines that were develop-
                 ed backwards, giving that effect.  I don't know wheth-
                 er or not yours is the only one, but the method isn't
                 one-of-a-kind.
    
                 Why do they do this?  I never knew.

    I saw AC/DC open up for Van Halen at the Veterans Memorial Arena
    in Binghamton, New York many, many years ago.  It was like the mid
    70's sometime.  Not sure what the exact date was.  But it was definitly
    one of the best concerts I've ever seen!!  Of course back then both
    bands were at what I would concider their prime but I wouldn't even
    attempt comparing Angus and Eddie -- both were absolutely mind
    blowing!!  Talk about a head-banging concert...

    Thought I would add my two cent about an AC/DC show I saw. I have
    only had the oppertunity to see them once. It was the Fly on the
    Wall tour and it was about everything I expected to see out of AC/DC.
    They played a few cuts off the Fly on the Wall, a lot from Back
    in Black, some from Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap, some form Highway
    to Hell, and some from For those about to Rock. That was about the
    jist of it. I thought it was an awesome show, and I would definitly
    see them again if I get the chance. As for Angus Young's guitar
    playing that what I liked the best. Plus I don't know where the
    man gets all his energy, he bobbed up and down the whole show. Good
    band to see if you ever get the chance.

    Anyone catch the AC/DC concert on MTV Saturday night?  I came in
    in the middle of it (flipping through the channels) and it was Great!
    
    Kinda like the old film, "Let there be Rock", but no Bon Scott.
    Still a good show, a slight bit too much footage of Angus.  I wanted
    to see some of the others too...
    
    GH.

    
    	That concert was film live in Detroit with FASTWAY during
    	the Flick Of The Switch tour.
    
    	It was filmed for MTV so you can't buy it. but I have
    	A copy of It if anyone is interested in using it.
    
    	It's a good show with double 8^)'s on 3 songs..
    
    	Sin City
    	Gun For Hire
    	For Those About To Rock
    
    	They were done really well, AC/DC doing what they do best.

    In reply to the original question about Malcolm, I am not sure whether
    it was his nephew or cousin that had taken over from him but the
    reason that he had to leave the Tour was due to a liver complaint
    caused by the consumption of too much alcoholic beverage.
    
    I don't now how the tour was in the states with the replacement
    but the tour in Britain(England, they never played Scotland) with
    Malcolm was Bril.
    
    cheers
    Mark

    Mark, according to the papers around here, it was his nephew on tour.
    
    The show I went to in Worcester, MA was great, as usual.  I've seen
them quite a few times and this one was no different quality-wise.

    BTW, I heard something a while ago on the radio saying that their next
tour will have a more elaborate stage.  I guess they are getting sick
of that other one that they've had for years.  They probably liked the bell,
the cannons, the tube behind the drums, and the missile thing, but now
they want a bunch of things in one show.
                                     
    Thanks for the info about Malcolm, too bad.
    
    
    Paul
                                                                            

    According to a recent interview in Metal Hammer with Brian Johnson
    it was Malcolms 32 year old cousin that took his place and the reason
    that he left the band was due to the fact that he wanted to spend
    more time with his baby and family rather than any medical reason!
    
    cheers
    Mark
    

    
    I wonder if they used a few different replacements?  Whoever played
    in the States looked about 18.  But, then of course, I have bad eyes.  
    
    
    Paul
    

    Perhaps that runs in the family, both Angus and Malcom look pretty
    young too.  And that's after mucho years of rough living, too.

    Anyone know what AC/DC is doing now?  Are they coming out with a
    new album or a tour soon?
    
    gh

    
    
         There was one a few years ago I found in the import section
    called TNT it kicks. It has a cut by Chuck Berry on it. It does'nt
    have that many songs but it jam's!!!!
    

    
        RE: -1
    
               I haven't heard 'TNT' in a while, but I love that
               song.  I gotta look for it.

    I think  "Back in Black is one of the all-time great albums

    	If anyone watched MTV last Sunday there was some good concert
    	and interview footage of AC/DC and other Aussie rockers.
    
    	They know how to grow 'em passionate and wild in that part of
    	the world!  I agree with Jesse, Back in Black is a classic.
    
    							Carla
    

    Did it show any live AC/DC footage?

    	They showed a concert video clip of Back in Black during the
    	time I watched MTV, which was only long enough to see AC/DC's
    	interview, Midnight Oil, and Jimmy Barnes.  Interesting that
    	all three of those singers have intense razorblade voices...
    
    							Carla
    

    Speaking of live footage...
    
    Does anyone know if the film "Let There Be Rock" with Bon Scott
    is out on video?  I remember seeing in a theatre back around '82
    (but it was a midnight movie, so who knows how old it is).  I thought
    this was a hot concert flick!

Yes, it is. I remember seeing in a store 3 or 4 years ago....

    ie the stuff with Bon Scott!

    I think BIB is the best Brian Johnson album and DDDDC is the best
    Bon Scott album.

    
    
    Bon Scott was fantastic!!  IMO
    
    He went very well with their music at the time..

    Did AC/DC do a song (c. 1980-81) entitled "Big Balls"??  I really
    thought that tune was a f*cking riot!!  Seem to remember that they
    did it.

    I *love* the cover of High Voltage.  Like, let's get fried dude.
    I can remember looking at that cover art in a record shop in Wor-
    cester back in '78 or so.  Never did buy the album.

    whens the new album coming
    

    I haven't heard anything about a new album (or tour), but I'm
    interested.  Anyone heard anything?

    decided it was time to get back into the AC/DC swing of things!!
           Id like to say hello to everyone on the block and thanks
    to Shawn for steering me in this direction.So far this file seems
    to be filled withn some serious AC/DC fans.Well im happy to be 
    here,so lets get down to chords. 
           How many ladies do we have in attention here? Let me know
    who you are and what your fave AC/DC stuff is, maybe there will

    Has anyone seen any AC/DC imports around lately?
    I remember back when BACK IN BLACK first came out I saw them in
    stores like Record town and Strwberries, but at the time I didnt
    think to buy them. Now I wish I had because I would kill for them
    but I dont see them around anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.                
    

    
    Ackey Dackey are preparing to record a new studio album with producer 
    George Young.  They will go to Canada and the album will be out through 
    Acto later in 1990.  Rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, WHO LEFT THE BAND 
    whilst they were touring, because he had grown tired of the heavy 
    schedules, will play on the forthcoming album.
    
    Flip

    Some trivia:  Producer George Young is the older brother of Angus
    and Malcom.  He was a member of the sixties group, "The Easybeats,"
    known for their hit, "Friday On My Mind."
    
    That little chestnut has been covered by *many* musicians, not
    the least of which are David Bowie and Irish guitarist Gary Moore.

         Well as far as I can tell, there hasn't been any REAL disscussion
    on AC/DC for some time. The last time I replied, I was humbly corrected
    on my STAR TREK grammer. Yes its me, RIFF RAFF, and I am back.
         So, to start off with let me tell you some news on the "Thunder
    From Down Under". AC/DC will NOT be losing thier rythm man Malcom to
    any "Wacky Daffy" band. Malcom has had some family matters to be re-
    solved. If he seemed worn out from touring, give this some thought.
    Would you be able to perform 100% knowing the family needs you there??
         IN his time at home, he has been doing his mates (Ackey Dackey)
    an assistance getting started by the intr to Harry Vanda.
         Please reply and tell me where you got the previus info on Mal
    and friends.
                        ***RIFF RAFF***

       Has anyone heard anything about AC/DC since the last notes? I'm
    starting to wonder if this band is a thing of the past! The last time I
    saw the band was 1988 in Austin, Tx (seen every tour since Highway To
    Hell in "78" when they warmed up for Nugent, before Bon's death). The
    Austin show consisted of 10 songs and no encore, it was like they were
    in a hurry to "get the h*ll out of Dodge". This was especially
    dissappointing considering I paid a scalper $130.00 for two second row
    center stage seats. Cinderella warmed up which took some of the pain
    away.
    
            Speed Bump!

    Perhaps someone could answer a question for me.  I was told Bon Scott
    was a) Lead Singer
        b) Dummer
        c) all of the above
    
    Which one is true?
    
    Thanks

    I guess some people would say he was the dummer for the band for 
    drinking so much...

    From an article i read a few months ago in Kerrang, they are recording
    in Ireland at present, and were looking for a drummer to replace Simon
    Wright who stood in on the new DIO recordings and has now joined DIO
    permanently. It also said the Malcolm Yound was no longer going to take
    an active touring part as Rhythm Guitarist.
    
    
    
    Prince Of The Dawn.

    Ex Frim drummer Chris Slade has been confirmed to join the band full
    time.  Simon Wright has now joined forces with Dio.

Went to a listening party last week for the new AC/DC album, entitled
'Razor's Edge'. I had a tough time hearing the album - the party was held
at Bunratty's, and the sound system mix was terrible. But what I heard 
sounded pretty good. Seems like the standard AC/DC album - couple of 
*killer* tunes, and lots of 'ok' ones.

Along with the open bar and free food, they gave out these cool razor-shaped 
keychains. Not bad, for nuthin'!

alan

        WAAF will be debuting the new album tomorrow morning with
    Cheeks and Hillman.  The album is Razor's Edge.  The first tune
    is something like Thunder Stick.  Other tunes on the album are Money
    Talks and the title cut.....  The CD is is suppossed to be out tomorrow
    too!!!!
    
    
    Bri

    That's Thunderstruck!

    
    I just heard Thunderstruck a few minutes ago. It has a strange begining
    but it gets good. Do you think Brian Johnsons voice sounds like it did
    in 1980(Back in Black)?

    MO..  no!
    
    its changing, me thinks..
    
    F.

    
    
    I heard the tune like three times yesterday.  His voice sounded like
    he had something wet and slimy in his throat that he needed to spit up.
    Sorry if I'm being gross.  But, his voice sounded deep and gurgly.  I
    think his voice is changing or maybe it's just that one song, won't
    know till I hear another one of the new album.
    
    - Kim

    Just saw the video - stoopid video for a stoopid song.  Face it, after
    "Back In Black", AC/DC lost it ...
    
    Scary

I agree, the song is a rehash of everything they've ever done, right down to
the guitar noodling in the beginning.

Tim

    
    I heard the new song on the way in this morning.  It is ok but,
    typical AC/DC song.  When I heard it all I could think of is how
    much it sounds like any of their other songs that get airplay.
    
    Rae

    I heard the end of it yesterday...it's *ok*...some good parts, but it
    didn't get my head bangin like old AC/DC...

    I don't think you can be disappointed with their latest single,
    because it's good, it's just the same old same old. I think it
    rips fair, but Brian's voice isn't changing, it's DISAPPEARING.
    It's totally shot. Just think, his voice was rough in concert
    during Back in Black days, and this is as good as they can his
    voice to sound in the STUDIO!? I wouldn't want to see them live
    with him singing now.
    
    /Motorbreath

    I heard the single again today...again noty in entirety, but more than
    yesterday.  I like it...it's ok.  The vocals are grungy, but I think
    I'd rather listen to the new AC/DC than, say, Extreme.

    Thats what happens to ones voice when the gargle with
    Draino and razor blades and bats-balls-blood.
    
    ;)

    
    Well I finally heard the song last night on the radio..  My opinion is
    that it was "okay".   Brians voice sounds like caacaapoop!!
    
    Now if ya really wanna get depressed, compare Bon Scott to Brian Jones
    today!  8*)
    
    F.

    
    And then compare the late Brian Jones to Brian Johnson. ;^)

    Whoops, did I screw up?
    
    Brian Jones I thought that was the name of ACDC singer or is it
    Johnson..   ??

    His voice is definetly going/gone. But to me it sounds like he's
    trying to hard to sound like he did on Back in Black. At least on
    that one song...FWIW
    
    Jeff

    
    Brian Jones was the drummer for the Rolling Stones. He drowned in a
    pool long ago.
    
    As far as Brian's voice goes,they may have mixed it differently than
    they did ten years ago when Back in Black came out. Technology has
    changed alot since 1980.
    
    I hear Malcomb is not touring but he plays rythm guitar on the album.
    And Simon Wright left the band also. Things sure have changed since
    1980....
    
    
    
    
                                      DEEBS

    Correction....Brian Jones was the lead/rhythm guitarist for the Stones
    in their early days.

    
    I thought that was Malcomb.
    
    
    
                                   DEEBS

    WHELP .. All I have to say is that.. I dont know what song he
    was singing, i was too busy laughing.. he sounded exactly like DONALD
    DUCK!!  i'm serious... 
    
    Guess he a perfect example of not singing right and not taking care of 
    your voice /wendy o'

    I finally heard the new song (Thunderstruck) a couple of days ago  and
    frankly, I don't like it much.  
    
    You're all right, Brians voice sounds fried.  It's terrible.  And that
    little sequence that plays through the whole song is really annoying. 
    It might have been cool for the intro, but they should have canned it
    after that and let the guitars do the work.  As always, they had a
    great guitar tone.

    After hearing a couple times...... He reminds me of Udo D. 
    not all the time. 
    jeff

    
       His voice may be trashed,but I still think the music rocks.I believe
    they are going to sell alot of this title.I'm a diehard AC/DC fan who
    is less critical then most and gives thumbs-up/down based on the "does
    it get me rockin'" approach....Razor's Edge is a thumbs up!
    
                      R.B.

    
    	I finally got to hear the new song, can't rememer the name cause I
    couldn't understand a word Johnson tried to say. Oh well, the music is
    till good. Angus(sp) hasn't lost it yet.  They just need a new lead
    singer. Maybe Bon Scott? That would be great!
    
    B.A.

    I heard another tune off the new album on the radio last night and I
    didn't think Brian Johnson's voice sounded quite as bad as on
    Thunderstruck.  I don't remember the name of the song, it was ok, not
    anything to knock your socks off though.

    	I heard the first few verses of Thunderstruck and thought
    	Brian Johnson sounded like he was gargling...

    I have been an AC/DC fan since Bon Scott did Highway to Hell back in
    the late seventies. I have everything that they ever recorded. I even
    paid 20 bucks for Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap when it was an import.
    
    So when I say that the new album sucks. I'm speaking from experiance.
    This album is a rehash of the last three albums. Brians voice is truly
    dead. I don't know if he smokes crack but if he doesn't - he should
    because it would be a good excuse for the way his voice sounds. Angus
    and Malcomb wrote all the songs. The subjects of the songs is extremely
    lame. "I want a mistress for Christmas" is a perfect example of one of
    the all time greatest bands going down the tubes because they can't
    think of anything new to write about. It's not funny. It's sad.
    
    
    
                                   DEEBS

    
    Mega sad.
    
    I too have owned Dirty Deeds, High Voltage, and because I am hung can't
    remember the name you know the one with Whole Lotta Rosie.. and Highway
    to Hell.. plus the other newer ones like For Those About to Rock..
    And I think its time AC/DC started looking for a new singer!!!
    
    I wonder how bad/good he sounds live now!?  !!
    
    Howz about the singer who used to be in Accept?  U-something.. now that
    would be interesting!  8*)
    
    F.

    
    Ya mean, Udo Dirkschnieder.

      Yeah the singer in Accept has a similar style. He might work real
    well.

    yea yea...  thats it.
    
    
    Well Accept broke up anyway, didn't they?
    
    Hey lets write a letter and all sign it and mail it to Angus!  8*) 
    
    ar ar ar
    
    
    F.

    Yeah, Udo might be just the thing AC/DC need to bring them out of
    the rut they seem to be in.
    

    I listened to the album a few hundred times and the only song I like
    hearing is Thunderstruck. The other songs aren't bad but it's not AC/DC
    at their best.

    A sparse review to the "Reciprocal Tour":
    
    Love/Hate-- loud,dull,boring, no clue in life
    
    AC/DC- A 2-hour set of there most famous hits.. opening nite was
    longer and more energetic. The Pyro guy got blown up during 
    Love/Hate's set on Sat, so they shortened their set by not playing
    "For those about to Rock"..  The first nite the guns rocked the Centrum 
    16X during that song. Brian Johnsons voice held up stronger on Sat
    than Friday nite..  
    
    Anyone else have a review....
    
    DEChand

    I am SO mad I wasn't able to see AC/DC on this tour..maybe when they 
    come around again???
    
    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    
    	RE: .120
    
    	Wayne - was it better than their last tour?
    
    	tigga~~~ who didn't think they were too hot last time around

    AC/DC got a RAGING review in the Boston Globe!!
    /Motorbreath...sorry I missed it

    Friday night's show was great.  
    	Great Sound mix, Great stage show, great songs, and they sounded
    like a band, not just individuals playing instruments.  
        I enjoyed it a ton!
    

    
    my boyfriend went Friday night, as he has every year every time they
    come around for a long time and he said there were better AC/DC shows,
    and this one was good but not great.
    
    F.

    O.K. GUYS!!! ENOUGH ABOUT BRIAN JOHNSON!!! IF ANYBODY OUT THERE REALLY
    EVER THOUGHT THAT HE HAD A "REMARKABLE" VOICE TO BEGIN WITH, YOU'VE GOT
    TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I'M AN AC/DC FAN MYSELF, BUT I CAN ACCEPT THE FACT
    THAT THIS IS AC/DC, AND THAT THEY ARE GOING TO "SOUND" LIKE AC/DC!!!
    AND AS FAR AS THE NEW ALBUM GOES, I THINK IT IS A VAST IMPROVEMENT FOR
    THEM, AND IS EXCEPTIONALLY BETTER THAN THEIR LAST ONE. REAL GOOD "RAW"
    SOUND. I DON'T THINK THAT A "REAL-METAL" VOICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE
    "PRETTY", NOR THE MUSIC!!! THUMBS UP FOR BRIAN AND THE BOYZ!!!!

    Same here, dude. How's my typing courtesy this time?? I'm just joking.
    Seriously enough though, I did understand what you meant by your reply
    at .126, but I could'nt help but to capitalize on it after I read the
    reply at .127!! I'm just having a little fun here. Seriously, about the
    LOUD note at .125, I just could not put enough emphasis on those people
    that think that the "new" AC/DC album sucks, which just is'nt true. I think
    if you don't like the way Brian sounds, some of us need to be jamming
    on Udo and the boys rather than listening to some "REAL" rock-n-roll!!
    ...AND I CAN THINK OF ALOT OF PIONEERS THAT STARTED THIS METAL-MANIA,
    AND AC/DC I WOULD THINK, WOULD BE CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF THAT PACK!!
    Give a Brian a break and go listen to something that does please you!!
    Give it a break!!! sheesh!

    But it is that Brians voice has gotten worse.  It wasn't *that* bad to
    begin with - now its terrible, IMO!
    
    F.

     I have been listening to the new album for the past two weeks now and
    IMO I think the album is pretty good. I usually listen to the music
    more than the words. As someone stated earlier, this is one of their
    better efforts. As a matter of fact I think musically that this album
    sorta gets back to some of their earlier roots. In any case I give it a
    thumbs up.

    The new song is Money Talks. Probably one of the better new ones they

    I wuz lis'nin to HIghway to Hell not too long ago and these guys kicked
    some major booty.

    
      Any major Xmas party needs background AC/DC music! They have and
    always will be one of my favorite bands. Raw natural power! No speed
    guitars or major effects...just driving chords!

    	Most of their new stuff is pretty lame, but their older stuff
    	[Back in Black, and especially Bon Scott's contributions of

    	"Dirty Deeds ...", "TNT", "Shoot to Thrill" and others are
    	their best stuff.

    hear on the radio now is lame-o.

    re:.158

    > Back from snow-country.

    Since when is Tucson considered "snow country"?  You should have seen
    the snow across western Colorado and Utah!  What a drive...  :-(

    Back to the topic at hand, I had yet another of my friends tell me that
    they thought "Thunderstruck" was a comedy tune with Donald Duck singing
    when they heard it the first time.  I think old Brian should be
    thinking about stuff like that...

    gh (Back from Glitter Gulch)

      I just found out who is opening for AC/DC down south here. Ready?
    King's X. I read some favorable reviews of the group from some of you.
    Could turn out to be a really good show.
    						The KER
    

      Alright, here's a small review of AC/DC. Much, much better sounding
    than Kings X. For all you people out there that think Brian Johnson's
    voice is shot. Wrong. His vocals were just as strong as they have ever
    been. They open up the show with Thunderstruck. Then Shoot the Thrill,
    Back in black. The rest of the songs I name will be in random order. I
    did have a major buzz and it's hard to remember somethings. Other songs
    they played were Shook me all night long, Razor's Edge, Dirty
    Deeds,Blow up your video, Highway to Hell, Hell's Bells, Money Talks,
    She's got the jack, a couple others from Razor's Edge that I don't
    remember the name of. Angus may be getting on in year but, he can still
    play the hel! out of that guitar. One song they didn't play which I
    thought they would was Sink the Pink. All in all AC/DC gave a fine
    show. Even with my suck @ss seat I was glad I went. One other
    disappointment, no funny money falling from the ceiling. A show worth
    checking out if you like AC/DC.
    						The KER
    

    Whats up Metalheads? 
             I have been out of the circuit for at least a year now. But
    I am back. I understand that someone has ripped off my "knick-name"
    Riff Raff. Not cool. Check back a few inserts (like back in the 30's)
    and you will see that the true Riff Raff is much older than is let on
    to be.
             As far as AC/DC's new album goes, I think it has quite what 
    it takes to be called AC/DC. True, however, the last album was not
    real intense, but , if you are a true AC/DC fan, you will cut them
    slack and remain as one with thier music. Blow Up Your Video was
    on the same level as For Those About To Rock or '74 Jailbreak.
    These albums never get much airplay, but I hold them close to my heart
    as much as the real popular stuff.
              Brian Johnson's voice is raspy, and is not the "model"
     sound that the majority wants to hear. But, AC/DC has ALWAYS played
    thier music the way they wanted and whoever likes it will listen.
    JUst be happy that they are still around.There isn't much legendary
    rock left, aside from MOTLEY CRUE and AEROSMITH and the bands that
    have long since disbanded, but are kept alive in our souls (the DOORS
    LED ZEPPELIN)
              The Razor's Edge is great. Any AC/DC fan will like
    whatever they play, even if it was Angus playing with a "Jamm
    -inator" out of tune in abroken down V.W. on Rodeo Drive in 
    the middle of a locus invasion!!!!!!

    	The charges against AC/DC, as a result of the deaths in Utah, were
    either dropped or thrown out of court.  However, the charges against the 
    Salt Palace and promoter are still active.
    
    	Stupid thing about all this mess is Utah has a law in the books
    preventing the selling of a ticket if the ticket doesn't designate
    a specific seat.  BTW, heard this on the tv show 20/20.

    and ZZ TOP.  I have every single CD and compulations and 
    paraphernalia from both of these groups.  I've been to every AC/DC
    show as far back as Highway to Hell.  I can't wait for their next
    release.  True, Brian Johnson does sound like he's gargling 
    razor blades when he sings though.  They have alot of good
    talent in that band..

Sorry Chris I lied (^8*!


GAZ

    This one's more relevant to the British AC/DC contingent. Anyone
    remember the female fan who use to follow the band around and make
    cameo appearences at live shows around the time of "Powerage"? She'd
    wear a school-girls uniform with suspenders etc and generally cavort
    around stage for a while. I seem to remember one particular show where
    Angus got a bit carried away and the letters page of "Sounds" got a 
    a bit of mileage out of this.  
    
    Or how about the animosity between AC/DC and Krokus which led to,
    this was rumour, Krokus being dropped from the bill of an early 
    Castle Donnington which AC/DC were headlining. Could've been 1981.
    
    Current fave AC/DC track: "Down Payment Blues".  
    
    Barry.                       

    AC/DC are the biz,RAZORS EDGE being the only decent album since
    Back In Black though.

    I agree Friz!!
    
    I love Back in Black and all the stuff before, I just think they've
    gone down hill, with a few select tracks here and there. Razor's Edge I
    hated. I thought the voice was terrible and the music, boring.
    
    THUNDER! ..
    
    yeah right...

Angus is the KING OF TONE and Phrasing !
                              
Whats wrong with three chord rock anyway ??  It seems to have worked well
for 98% of the bands out there...

    Angus is really Elvis?

    Hi,
    
    My brother, even a bigger AC/DC fan than I am, is desperatly looking
    for one of their first singles: "Jail Break/Fling thing". It was
    released somewhere in the spring of 1976 on the label is Atlantic K10805.
    
    Any help on how to get this single would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Regards,
    Sjaak.

    Please, anyone got the single and want to get rid of it? I'm on my
    knees now!

    I don't have it and I assume nobody else does either.   That's why
    their not replying.

    Don't have the single... but I remember them doing Jailbreak on the Old
    Grey Whistle Test .....

    maybe one day ...

    Actually,i must say that "Razor`s Edge" is the best album since "Back
    in Black",imo.
    
    Which is quite easy,seeing that all the ones in between those 2 are
    total wank.
    

 >   Interesting story about their last trip here.  It seems Angus stiffed
 >   the bell boy after he hauled all his stuff to his room.  So they
    
    That's because they didn't make enough money off that last album!
    
    Ho ho!  Ooh, err, Mr. Cooks, I must disagree.  For those about to rock
    is a most excellent album.  Flick of the Switch is pretty good too, and
    even Sink the Pink is better than their latest IMO.

    Angus and Malcolm were born in Scotland in a place called "Greenock"

    Last night I went to Strawberries in Leominster to pick up
    AC/DC's new release. I heard they were coming out with a 
    collectors edition but when I got to the store there was none to be
    found. I asked the girl that worked there and she said they were sold
    out and that they were not going to get anymore in.
     Fortunately I went into the mall, found and bought the CD version of
    the collectors edition...the store I went in had a couple left.
    
    My question is :
    
    Whats the scoop with these collectors edition?
    Are these sold in limited quantities?
    Are they gonna be worth money down the road?
    If so, should I even open mine up....(Actually I already did because it
                                          has some killer music on it)
    
    
     
                                                             AZ

    Can someone with the live album provide a song listing? I had a quick
    peek and noticed that there is a great deal of old stuff on it and
    that the whole things clocks in at between 100-120 minutes? Sounds like
    good value. 
    
    barry.

     I bought it last weekend. I can write down the titles for you and
    enter it tomorrow. Its a great recording!

    barry... only the collector's edition has 130 minutes of music... it 
    is in a double disc set and contains over 20 songs of old and new.
    quite a good collection imho...  the regular disc is a single cd that
    only has like 12~13 songs with a lot of the older material cut out.
    
    if you can find it, grab the 2 cd set.... they are in limited quantity.

    Thanks for the info chaps. I may well make a purchase but I bet they'd
    have to go along way to improving the versions of the old numbers that
    already exist on "If You Want Blood". A ten minute rendition of 
    "High Voltage" is a bit much don't you think?
    
    barry.

             Heatseeker                   Whole Lotta Rosie

    Not a great album when compared to "If you Want Blood" but that was to
    be expected. The way the crowd fades out after each track really pisses
    me......don't know why so many live albums do this ?!!

     A buddy of mine lent me the new AC/DC concert video "Live at

    music on it. Excellent sound (HI FI STEREO). Great camera work.
    If you like Angus and Co. check it out.

     Have you seen the AC/DC vid of "Big Guns" with Arnold in it? What
    a riot, I was rollin while watching it! Too funny. I'm not crazy
    about the song, but the vid is great!

    MY FAVOURITE AC/DC TUNES ARE SHOOT TO THRILL AND WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE.I
    ALSO THINK THAT THEY HAVE GONE DOWNHILL AFTER THE BACK IN BLACK ALBUM.
    
    

    OH NO, IT IS RETURN OF THE **METAL RAGMANN**
    
    
    AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh
    HHHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh
    
    Run for your life!!!
    ;')
    
    
    In all seriousness, some of us (ahem!) think they have gone downhill
    after Powerage!
     

    
    i thought they went down hill after for those about to rock...
    
    

    The early stuff rooled!  They definitely went downhill after Bon Scott
    kicked off.

    I've certainly got a life , but after x years of building up a career,
    I  rediscovered all the quality Vinyl in my cupboard.  Seems that now
    is a good time to buy the high quality turntable that I couldn't afford
    when I was a student, brush off the dust and exercise the loadspeakers.
    
    It's also pretty good fun wandering round the 2nd hand record shops,
    diggin out the old 'metal albums , then scurrying home with your "new"
    treasure to shock the nice respectable neighbours.
    
    In my view, AC/DC stopped producing any quality stuff after BIB.

    I have to agree, for the most part.  For Those About To Rock wasn't
    half bad, but things went downhill after that.
    
    Greg

    AC/DC and Rick Ruben, infamous HM producer, are working on a
    new recording in L.A.  According to the new installment
    of Guitar Player, what they've heard is "killer" stuff in 
    the "Highway to Hell" vibe.  We'll see...
                                                   
    Kev --
                                             

    I sort of disagree with greg in -2 ... AC/DC indeed lost a groove they
    had with producer "Mutt" Lange on HTH, BIB, and FTATR ... I sort of
    liked the quirky Flick of the Switch and the hook-laiden Fly on the
    Wall, but all the albums/tunes after that were real naff (sans
    Heatseeker, which is a killer tune).
    
    Their new association with Rick Ruben may prove fruitful ... since
    RR did wonders for The Cult on Electric (a _very_ AC/DCish sounding
    album, I might add), there may be hope for this band.
    
    I do wish they would get a new singer however -- one that was a clone
    in the Bon Scott vein wouldn't be too bad, either.
    

    Agreed!  Bring back Bon Scott!!
    
    This new guy has scarred vox!
    

    RE:  last couple...
    
         Yeah, Brian Johnson's voice is toast, you can easily
    get that from their last live recording.  Remember the video
    for "Flick of the Switch"?  Now IMO that's a cool video:  a
    band jammin' in what appeared to be an airport hanger with
    a few cameras for some angle shots.  Simple stuff, I guess
    I'm a fan of the simplistic MTV format of it's prehistoric
    era, before all the BS took over.  I think Malcolm snaps a
    string in this video...jammin!

    Rumour has it that AC/DC will be going out on their LAST TOUR EVER,
    back with original drummer, Phil Rudd.

    ...they gave baldy the axe I take it?!? 8^)
    
    
    Kev --
    

    
    -.1 Why? He is an awesome drummer and I had heard he surpassed The
    Professor in amount of stuff on his kit by like 4 more pieces than
    Peart! Neil this is one of my all-time fav drummers!
    
    Mike
    

    
    like ac/dc needs a peart sized kit...  :')

    I heard it too, it's along the same lines as Thunderstruck. IT IS
    TOTALLY AWESOME!!
    Can't remember the name of the tune either, but it rocks!

    Nahhhhhhhhhh..I'd Gotta say that Brian Sounds more like Uncle_Scrooge.
    Glad to Hear that this Record is Finally being ReLeased..and look 
    Forward to it.Sorry to hear that they're Gonna Hang_It_Up.
    
    
       Crazy_But_Ya_Never_Know_Al

It sounds just like their last zillion albums.. 

The 1st time I heard the song, I knew what the chorus was going to be before
it even got to it.. 

WAY to predictable.


Whit-

    I like the quote frmo Angus in today's Boston Globe:
    
    "we don't know if the new album is good or if it's crap.  We just do
    what we do, over and over again.  That's just us"

    
    at least the guy's honest!

    I just tuned in to your broadcast.  This is Frank from DEC in Kanata.
    
    What do you guys think of the new album?  Is anybody going to the
    concert?  Has anyone seen them before?
    
    They're playing Montreal in March and it's the first time I'll see them
    live. I'm looking forward to seeing the show.
    
    Let me know what you think.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    
    Frank.

    
    I'll be checking into the AC/DC show at the "New Garden" in Boston
    March 19.  I've seen them 3x before and they are LOUD.
    
    Kev --
    

    I'll see them in April 21st and it will be my second consert and they
    are LOUD  yes.

    FRANK HERE,
    
    Hope we can compare notes about the concert next moth guys.
    Thanks again and keep in touch.
    
    
    See Ya!!! 

    
    No problemo.
    

I got tix for next Tuesdays show at the Fleece Center!!
I've seen them every time they came through Mass since the
Flick of the Switch tour.....bummmed I miss F.T.A.T.R.
Some say the are all done....old and washed up. Which at this point
might be close to true...but I think they still put on a great show.
Brian's voice is definitely shot, but if you can get by that and
just get into the music and watch Angus go nuts than its all worth while.
Back in Black is still my all time favorite album and if it wasn't
for that, none of us would have discovered Bon Scott which is my
all, all time favorite music. 

Andy

    
    re: -1
    
    Highway to hell or Powerage were better albums! Bon ruled when he was
    alive! Angus, too little ridelin(sp) for the poor guy!
    
    

Ya...Powerage is Great!! I love it all!! Highvoltage, If ya want Blood...
And so on.....Overall...the Bon stuff is definitely the best.
But I still think Back n Black is killer. I like the Brian stuff up until
Fly on the wall...man that album S*cked!!! Some of the newer stuff is Ok...
But they are way past their prime.

    
    

    
    Yup.....
    
    My fav is Let there be Rock. I thinks it's the best one IMHO.
    
    Dave

    The stuff from fly on the wall until Ballbreaker is no good imo
    
    
    My favourite is Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap
    
    /Hagar

    
    Saw them back on the Highway To Hell tour at the Glasgow Apollo. That
    was a tremendous show !! Bon Scott was outstanding. As good a frontman
    as I've ever seen. Def Leppard supported that night. They didn't even
    have a record deal at the time but were pretty good if I remember
    correctly.
    
    That was the only time I saw the band with Bon Scott. His stage
    presence for a small guy was incredible.
    
    Del. 

Great Show last night. Very energetic, entertaining and of
course, loud!! Angus is still a madman and I loved his American
flag boxers. Good to see Phil Rudd back at the drums. Pretty much the same 
routine and not an elaborate stage set up..but decent enough. First time 
seeing a concert at the fleet center and from what I could tell...it seems 
every seat is good. Security was pretty easy going but yet kept everything 
under control. I was able to move up to the 2nd row on the side of the stage 
without getting bounced back to my seat....as long as you were not an obnoxious
a-hole (and there were a couple) then security pretty much left you alone.

I missed the opening band and from what I heard they were the Young's nephews
or cousins or something. Did anyone catch them and if so how were they?

Andy

    HEY ANDY,
    
    I saw them last night in Montreal.  Wicked show!!  It was the first
    time for me at an AC/DC show.  I like the way they kept it simple but
    knew when to hit you with the props.  It was good to see Phil Rudd back
    on the drums.  The crowd went nuts every time he showed up on the
    screens.  What did you think about the cannons? Loud or what?  It shook
    the Forum.  Angus is a nut on stage. He makes the whole show.  He had
    on black AC/CD boxers at this show.  Did angus go out into general on
    the back of security at your show?  I thought that was kinda neat.
    I also missed the opening act so I can't help you there.  Do know what
    the name was though?
    Anyways, I hope they come to Ottawa so I can check 'em out again.
    
    Thats all for now.
    
    Frank.

    
    Angus came out quite a ways on the floor.  I seriously didn't think
    the show was loud at all.  Then again, my seats were junk to begin
    with.
    
    All in all, great show.
    
    Kev --

Was this at the old Forum or the new one?

Just curious,

Tim

    HEY TIM, 
    
    The show was at the old Forum.  The new one is called the Molson
    Center.  It was pretty cool because it was the second last show to play
    there.
    
    Frank.

The old forum was a great place to see concerts.  I saw Rush there 3 times, Kiss
twice (Destroyer tour) and Aerosmith 

    I agree with you there!
    
    I've only seen DIO and  Bon Jovi there before this one.  It was a
    Rockin time.
    
    Frank

They used to let you walk up to the front of the stage.  I also 
liked the Bradors for $1.25 (I'm sure they're more now....)

Tim

    -< brador is french for antifreeze >-
    
    Actually I think you are refering to Laurentide!

Speaking of Bon Scott and AC/DC, I just found out some real interesting
fact about AC/DC the other day that would make GREAT trivia questions.

I wonder if anyone knows the answers to these:

1)  How did the name AC/DC come about?

2)  Why did Angus wear the schoolboy outfit during gigs?

Ken

    RE: .267
    
    I think #2 was because his sister said it would be a good idea...or
    somethin like that?

Yeah, Angus & Malcom's sister saw it on the back of a vacuum cleaner and thought
it would make a good name for their new band.


The answer to the other one could probably be guessed by taking an educated
guess...

    Educated Guess!!!   That'll count me out!

I always thought it was because he was so short.  Made him look like a little
kid to sort of counteract their heavy sound.

Tim

Must be an echo in here!

Well, according to the AC/DC FAQ that I stubled across the other day,
he used to come home from school, grab his guitar, and take off to practice
still wearing his school uniform.

His manager or someone told him he should wear the uniform during performances
and he said "NO way!".  But they somehow convinced him that it would make people
remember the band.

    I heard the same thing that J did.  I was watching an interview or with
    Angus (I think) and it was said that it was his sisters idea that he
    wear the schoolboy outfit.
    
    P
    

    I saw an interview where he said he would just go to gigs after school
    & thats how he dressed.
    -ss

    
    Bon Scott was they bands bus driver before he was the lead singer.
    
    Dave

    "The wheels on the bus go round and round.."
    
    "Hey you!  Mr. Busdriver...Do you want a job?"

I thought he was a truckdriver for one of their tour rigs.  Same thing I guess.

Now he's Donald Duck reincarnated

    Well at least we know he wasn't their bartender!

    	Tickets on sale monday afternoon, 3:00 pm.

    RUMOUR IN OTTAWA!!!
    
      People are talking about AC/DC opening up for KISS when they come Aug
    5th tp the Corel Centre.  If anybody knows how to get tour info, could
    you please find out if they're going to be in the area and the possible
    truth to this rumour.
    
    Thanks,
    FRANK.

    	There's a ac/dc and a KISS web site, don't know the URL though.

    
    	"a"?
    
    	I think you'll probably find several/many for both bands.
    

    
    Anyone going to the AC/DC show at the Centrum this weekend?

    These guyz never cease to amaze me.....GREAT show last night
    at the Centrum....one question: What the hell is that building
    next to the Centrum?  There used to be a street there, right???
    
    anyway, after I slammed into that building_where_there_used_to
    be_a_street, had a super time at the show...did all the standards
    (Hell's Bells was just incredible!), sprinkled with some
    from the new album.....anyone else go last night??

        was the show sold out? I remember hearing on the radio that
        the Phoenix had a coupon in one of their papers where you
        could bring it to the Centrum for free tix! If that was true then
        there must have been a ton of tickets left over.
    
    Andy 

    ...ya, only 10,000 tix sold! That leaves ~ 4,000 or so seats unsold,
