Jumpin' Jack Flash Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) AC/DC being my favourite band EVAR, I'm quite excited for this!!! I've been following this rumour since Mid-Summer or so and had my doubts on whether it was true or not, but it appears to be happening!Apparently AC/DC is going to be releasing a new boxset containg studio rarities and live rarities along with a live DVD...Nothing confirmed yet by the band but it should be within two hours or so on this website http://countdown.acdcbacktracks.com/us/home On Amazon, I found this interesting piece of news.http://www.amazon.com/Backtracks-2CD-DVD-A...8260&sr=1-2The packaging will be an actual, working guitar amp! Pretty original if you ask me....All I hope is that the so called "Rare Tracks" aren't just Big Gun, Cold Hearted Man, Snake Eye, Cyberspace, etc...I want something I can't find with a simple google search. I think it'd be interesting to hear some outtakes or demos from the early Brian era '81-'85! And maybe some demos from when Bon just joined the band.As for the live DVD, I'd like to see either the Circus Krone gig or the Roseland gig they did at NYC. I just wish they'd switch up the setlist a bit more, rather than just a fucking greatest hits thing like they have atm.A'ight..so discuss and haters GTFO.

It's an awesome looking package, i'll still buy it, but there's not a lot of new content on there to get excited about, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Eh, nothing I don't already have, but it will be nice to have (presumably) remastered versions of all the b-sides. The Circus Krone DVD will probably be the high point, I fucking love the '03 shows. I'll buy it, but I don't really justify $200 on it. Going on the Christmas list...I wish we could have seen some stuff that's never been officially released in any form...Messin' With The Kid, Blow Up Your Video sessions, Dave Evans sessions (If they do indeed exist), I'm A Rebel, etc. At the very least, the set should have Can I Sit Next To You, Girl/Rockin' In The Parlour...

The Youngs really don't like him, so don't expect to see anything released that he contributed towards anytime soon.In any case, I do agree with you somewhat in that anything at all would be better than re-releasing "Love Song"...

He was in AC/DC like Tracii Guns was in Guns n' Roses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense putting the album version of Can I Sit... on the boxset, it's readily available. I know Dave Evans is a douche, but I am at the very least intruiged with the single/In The Beginning bootleg. I've always wanted to hear some more stuff, even if only for historical value.And for the record, am I the only person in the world who actually likes Love Song? Yea, it's no masterpiece, but I don't see how it's as bad as most people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getizzyback Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I heard from somewhere that Bon Scott recorded more tracks for the original High Voltage. I sure wish that was true.I don't really know why he didn't record "Rockin' In The Parlour", since he did record "Can I Sit Next To You Girl".
