AC/DC New Album News

New AC/DC album coming:

A New Album and 40th Anniversary Tour for Rock Legends AC/DC The band plans to head to a studio in Vancouver to begin recording the album in May, and it will be their first new album since 'Black Ice' was released in 2008.

Frontman Brian Johnson, speaking to 'Gater 98.7', a radio station in Florida, said that the 40th anniversary tour will comprise of a symbolic 40 shows - one for each year of the band's lifetime.

"Its been 40 years of the band's existence. So I think we're gonna try to do 40 gigs, 40 shows, to thank the fans for their undying loyalty. I mean, honestly, our fans are just the best in the world, and we appreciate every one of them. So, like I said, we'll have to go out, even though we're getting a bit long in the tooth. You know what? It's been four years, and I'm really looking forward to it."

Impressive. They're like the energizer bunny. They just keep going and going and going.

I can't believe it's 2014 and we're talking about a new AC/DC album and tour!

But it could just be me. I really can't believe it's 2014 already. Sounds like the proverbial "near future". Like the year 2039 or something. But even that is coming soon...

Like another AC/DC album in the year 2039, I bet.

More power to 'em! Two of my favorite albums from last year were from Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, bands that have been around longer than AC/DC so I see no reason why they can't put out another solid platter. I haven't seen them live since the 80s, would be fun to catch them live again.

I could have sworn I remember them saying that their next studio album would be their last before Black Ice was released.

I thought I remember something like that too.

Maybe it was one of those, "I doubt we will ever record anymore after this one" deals....

I guess they're AC/DC, they can do whatever they want.....

How 'bout a forum game who can pick the next album title the closest?

I'll say "Charge Your Battery"......lol  


"I say you will never go down, they won't mess you around, you won't be wrapped around a tree, when we Charge Your battery"!

Oh and BTW I believe it was Feb 19, 1980 when we lost Bon, 34 years tomorrow...wow R.I.P. Bon....

As i'm reading this Black Ice came up on shuffle, what a great album. AC/DC is more reliable then a fart these days.

I remember hearing the tentative title for Black Ice was Strap it On before they changed the title.

THEY SHOULD HAVE USED THAT!!!!   

Hell, I would have bought it the first day of release just for the title!   

I was just jamming out to Black Ice yesterday Oh and I hit a patch of the stuff too on my way to work yesterday morning...

Always in the mood for some new ac/dc material.

Although there is nothing new to offer.

So I just read on Blabbermouth that the first band Angus and Malcolm ever worked with would have their lone album reissued later this year. Band was called the Marcus Hook Roll Band. Guess it had their older brother, George, in the band. Anyway, I was curious to hear what it all sounded like. Pleasantly surprised. Sounds like a pretty great album.

But this surprised me:

WoW!!! I am surprised by that tune, I guess Angus and Malcolm Young brought this song with them and had Bon Scott had his lyrics and melodies. I prefer 'Live Wire' but interesting to hear both that song's origins and the roots of the Young brothers

That, or they stole it from their brother and his friend.   

Just tell me when and where.... always looking for a new AC/DC album....  Black Ice was great... those who find them repetitious I just say "Get over it.... They don't sound like anyone else, but lots of other people want to sound like them!!"

I'm interested in hearing this one too. I don't expect to hear much "AC/DC", but the time frame of when it was recorded has me intrigued. I read of a June 2nd release date, but not much else.



Not sure if this track will be on there, but a song called 'Apeman' is ok with me.

The rumor mill has been on fire tonight. Word is, Malcolm has a blood clot in his brain and he has forgotten how to play guitar. If true, the band is officially over. =(

Well, if they retire now they've had a great career and ended it on top. I just hope that Malcolm is okay.

I hope they are just rumors.... one last AC/DC album/tour would be nice.
