SAU3R Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 These pictures were uploaded on their website some minutes ago and immediately taken down again. That definitely confirms Brian, Cliff and Phil are back and they were working on something. Also a French (?) music news outlet claimed an hour earlier that a new album will be released on 27th November. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) It does makes sense to finally release this album without a supporting tour this year. I mean, they can't hold it back forever. Edited September 19, 2020 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they can't hold it back forever. I mean, a couple of the bands I follow closely are holding back albums because of the pandemic, granted the situations are a little different. Iron Maiden supposedly would've had their new album out this fall, but in their case the final leg of their current tour got postponed from this summer to next summer. The Dropkick Murphys have also postponed their new album - it was originally supposed to be out in the spring, then it got postponed to September, and now it's on hold indefinitely (Though they have at least released a single from it in the meantime). I don't think there's any right or wrong answers on how to handle releasing new music in this situation. Yes, it is frustrating when new stuff is being held back, but I can also understand artists not wanting to release new music and then not be able to tour in support of it.

Tom2112 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hope the album is great! This all looks exciting! Quite a fast turn over for ACDC too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) @Powerage5 One thing is for sure. They don't need to release an album to go on tour. They could go on a decade long world tour without any new songs and still sell out the biggest stadiums. Releasing the new album one or two years in advance of a potential tour won't take away the excitement in the slightest way.

Don't know how I feel about having to digest an album for upwards of a year before any of it gets played live. But different strokes and all that, and my personal feelings don't matter in the end anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 As much as I had a blast with the AXL/DC period and seeing them live with Slade on drums, I can't deny the giddy feeling I get seeing Brian and Phil back where they belong (Cliff too, of course). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still mad about the fact that they haven't played Moneytalks with Axl and Chris. On a side note, my favourite "What if" rhythm section for a new album is still Mark Evans / Simon Wright. Or even better, Mark Evans / Phil Rudd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their biggest hit in the US and it hasn't been played since 1991. Brian called it "a stinker to sing" when he was asked about it in 2003, but is it really that much harder to sing than anything else he's had to sing for the past forty years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why Brian still sings Thunderstruck is because of Angus. That's the only reason why the song is still in the setlist nowadays.

Sosso Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) I just saw this video. Those guys have an amazing chemistry on stage. Add Angus and Stevie to the line-up and it becomes AC/DC. Edited September 19, 2020 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one Brian song I wish they'd played with Axl and Chris, it's Who Made Who. But Moneytalks is a close second... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even beyond the hilarity of him singing that one, I'm really confident it would've fit his Axl/DC voice really well after hearing how he did the early Brian stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Let's start a petition for Guns For Hire and Moneytalks to return to the setlist. I don't care if Angus has to play them in B Standard for Brian's voice. Bust out the baritones and make it happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
