Rollingstone.com Reviews New AC/DC Album
August 15, 2008, 16 years ago
Rollingstone.com has posted a short description of the new AC/DC's album, Black Ice, which will be available on October 21st. Here's their report:
"AC/DC singer Brian Johnson promised that they’d tour in 2008. Well, he wasn’t kidding. Soon they’ll begin rehearsals in a secret location, before hitting US arenas in late fall. We heard this news at the Sony HQ on New York’s Madison Avenue, before hearing all 15 tracks of the band’s earthshaking new Black Ice, recorded in Vancouver in just eight weeks with Brendan O’Brien. On it, Brian wails about skies on fire, blood in his eyes, storms raging, lightning flashes, hard rain and pretty women. Angus Young shreds throughout (we dig his slide work on 'Decibel'), and the rhythm cats — Malcom Young, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd — are solid as a rock. The first single is 'Rock ‘N Roll Train'; 'She Likes Rock ‘N Roll' will be a stripper anthem; and 'War Machine' (our favorite) will tear you to pieces."Black Ice is AC/DC’s first studio album in eight years. It was recorded in Canada at BRYAN ADAMS’ studio under the production guidance of Brendan O’Brien. It will be the band’s 15th studio album. Their last album was Stiff Upper Lip in 2000.
Black Ice will be a Wal-Mart exclusive release in the US.
The band's upcoming 18-month world tour is expected to kick off on Halloween (October 31st) in Chicago.
