AC/DC's Angus Young Talks Songwriting For Rock Or Bust - "We've Always Borrowed Bits And Pieces From The Past"
December 21, 2014, 9 years ago
AC/DC guitarist Angus Young and bassist Cliff Williams are featured in a new interview with HardDrive Radio discussing their new album, Rock Or Bust. They discuss the reasons for recording the album in Vancouver, songwriting, drummer Phil Rudd's ongoing legal troubles, and the band's frequent use of the word "rock" in their songs:
As expected, tickets for AC/DC’s upcoming tour in support of their new album, Rock Or Bust, are selling fast, with the band’s July 1st stop in Dublin, Ireland at Aviva Stadium (52,000 capacity) selling out in less than 20 minutes, according to Independent.ie and their London Wembley Stadium (90,000 capacity) show on July 4th selling out in less than an hour as reported by NME. But the ‘highway to hell’ is still a bit bumpy due to scalpers - despite the fact that 48,000 tickets for AC/DC’s June 5th gig at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich were snapped up in the fastest sell-out ever for a stadium show, Thelocal.ch says that tickets were being resold within an hour at five times the price. Fans are “pissed off” by the way the tickets were sold and purchasers were allowed to buy up to eight tickets at a time through the internet and it appears some buyers acquired them specifically for resale.
