As nice as I'm sure it is to be a fan of a band that has regular releases, I would rather have GN'R as they are with sporadic and infrequent, but intriguing releases than with a new AFD sounding album every handful of years. I don't think time is a factor as to whether or not they release something that is stylistically intriguing. All we've got from Guns lately is an endless nostalgia tour and re-releases of Appetite and the Greatest Hits. I'd rather them give us a retro style album at this point. At least it would be something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @James Bond here - I don't think it was personal against Axl, more that he had seen Malcolm depart and pass away and then Brian having to leave also all culminating in it not really feeling like AC/DC to him. I've not seen anything to suggest that the AC/DC line-up of 2016 had any issue with Axl at all, if anything I think there was huge respect for Axl sitting in (no pun intended) for that tour. I'm not an expert in law but I'm sure that if AC/DC had to cancel those shows they would've been liable for a large chunk of costs, so Axl being able to come in and fill that spot (having the name appeal and ability to sing) was a large benefit to the band. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Looks like I missed out on the picture disc. I've tried a few different sites and all show the pre-orders as sold out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketfoot Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 A recycled Have a Drink on Me riff - check A nice, catchy lyric in "A shot in the dark beats a walk in the park" - check Business as usual from the 'DC.... and you wouldn't want it any other way. It doesn't excite me the way an AXL/DC single would have but it's great to have them back all the same. Brian's vocal sounds really good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I assume that Cliff was suffering from chronic stress. The loss of Mal and George, the problems with Brian and Phil. Not everyone is strong enough to handle those issues well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'd rank Shot in the Dark behind Rock or Bust and maybe Play Ball. Mostly the production is a big issue for me. The guitars are struggling to breath somewhere, the production is too big and manufactured and it sounds a bit flat as a consequence. Rock or Bust had the same issue. I think they knocked it out of the park with Black Ice and the production was very clean and you can hear the guitars so clearly it sounds awesome up LOUD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think I like the production better than Rock or Bust, at least based on this song. It sounds more sleek and I dig the guitar sound. Reminiscent of the guitar song on For Those About To Rock (I'm thinking Put The Finger On You in particular). In lieu of the picture disc I pre-ordered the yellow vinyl. I asked my daughter to pick red, yellow, silver, or black. Yellow it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Knowing how the Youngs operate, for Angus Axl/DC was simply an expedient, a stop-gap measure. Doubt he'll even release a live dvd of this period. Of course Guns fans value it more as it had ''their'' man's best vocals in decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he'll even release a live dvd of this period. Of course Guns fans value it more as it had ''their'' man's best vocals in decades. Beyond that though, there was a lot to enjoy as an AC/DC fan also. The shows were a solid 45 mins longer than your typical AC/DC gig with roughly 6-7 songs more every night than was typical with Brian. The Philly gig in particular is most likely the longest show in AC/DC history. All of the “extra” songs were ones the band hadn’t performed in decades; Riff Raff hadn’t been played since 1978 (Barring the VH1 session in 1996 but that was a studio performance), Live Wire hadn’t been played since 1982, Touch Too Much wasn’t confirmed to have ever been played before. The band returned to original tuning since having down tuned for the last decade to accommodate Brian’s voice. And, for being a fill-in, Angus and Axl had a really great chemistry. They really fed off each other’s energy and looked like they really enjoyed performing together. Not that Angus and Brian don’t have good chemistry, but theirs feels a little more professional and a little less personal. I think, had the circumstances been different, a lot more hardcore AC/DC fans would’ve been happier with Axl/DC. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Let's face it, Axl was fired the first time Angus heard Mickey Mouse. Even if Brian hadn't come back he wasn't going to let Axl front AC/DC with the voice he's had since 2017. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
