Axlin08 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I know this new album is coming out, and they'll support it. But I really think maybe a couple years down the line, when they add more legs, I think they'll finally release a Hits album, and embark on a farewell tour.The next few years I think will be it for this band. And it's time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansin Humanity Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 ...I think they'll finally release a Hits album, and embark on a farewell tour.Not happening I'm afraid. This will be a massive tour, however. That being said, it will be the last one of that size. They'll keep doing gigs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The new album has actually been discussed here quite a bit.I'll give it a listen,I hope it's good.I'm more excited about the tour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The next few years I think will be it for this band. And it's time too.Why is it time? They rock harder than 90% of bands around that are half their age. The day they get up on stage and deliver a shitty performance is the day they'll retire.

They rock harder than 90% of bands around that are half their age. The day they get up on stage and deliver a shitty performance is the day they'll retire. Exactly, they're still kicking and they're still putting on great shows.I liked Blow Up Your Video alot actually, and hated Stiff Upper Lip, I hope this album is a little deeper than their more recent albums.

Mansin Humanity Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 - Brian Johnson is doing the lyric writing, or at least most of it- Angus and Mal have apparently written harder riffs for this one.Should be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 AC/DC has not made a bad album. I love Stiff Upper Lip, I love Ballbreaker, Blow Up Your Video is good, and Even Fly on the Wall has its merits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Bon Scott will always be missed. Looking forward to the tour but I could give a fuck about the new album. I hope they never let Brian sing this song again.http://youtube.com/watch?v=sx0q_JmHnl8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the 50000 page threads of spam made it a little boring for me, especially after being used to how organised this place is in comparison. Is it still thriving?By the way, anyone doubting Brian's ability to still sing should check this vid out. Impromptu jam with a random band at a pub on Back In Black (and some others) from 2007.... still cutting the mustard, so to speak. Also covering Zeppelin's Rock And Roll - For a guy that's now 60 and rumoured to have had work done to his vocal chords in '06, he sounds freaking amazing. Better than present day Axl, imo.

Getizzyback Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 After reading countless interviews with Angus, over the years, Iwould say a "farewell" thing will never happen.The only farewell tour will bewhen Angus dies on stage.He has said, when the fire's gone he will hang it up, but I think there isan endless fire in him.If he keeps his brother going and Brian still keepssomewhat of a good voice (not always good or bad) not to mentionCliff and Phil still with the group as well.Why stop, keep doing what youenjoy doing, who cares what people think about your music, I'm sure a"few" million of folks will love anything they record!

Better than present day Axl, imo.Yeah, it's gotten a little better with the news, although there are about 2 people joining everyday, which seems like a bunch for a board with only a few core members.There was a big fight a little while ago, PM me if you want to know what happened, but mostly everyone's still there. And it helps to be at the first source for AC/DC news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
