Powderfinger Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 There was a Malcom shaped hole in the sound last time I saw them. People rattle on about Angus and he deserves the plaudits but Malcom drove that band with his right hand and it doesn’t sound the same without him and drum wise Chris Slade is no Phil Rudd. That Malcom/Phil engine just isn’t replaceable. Black Ice was the last great tour. I saw 3 shows on that tour and they were the best ACDC gigs I’ve seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Slade won't be back. From what I saw it was repurposed quotes from an old interview. Pretty easy for the supposed "insiders" to keep shifting to "no, tomorrow is going to be the day instead" and then claim to have known all along when something eventually does materialize. I think it's better to just wait for the AC/DC camp at this point. Lots of going in circles on the AC/DC forum. Lots of predictions getting muddled with speculation from local news and so forth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Remember how much it was "100% confirmed that Simon Wright was back" which later became "he rehearsed with the band but was unfit." Generally bollocks when it comes to their drummer speculation. Matt Laug was never even hinted at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go, but after seeing the Power Trip footage, I'm not sure a tour is the best idea, or even a good idea at all. They just don't sound good - both Brian and Angus barely holding it together, Stevie isn't suddenly going to become Malcolm, Cliff already wanted to go out and we don't know if Phil would be part of it or not. P.S. - Donnington is great, but honestly folks... Largo is where it's at: https://youtu.be/ZsWoxDvSJJ8?si=MfcAFkAgMQTZ_stz I agree. I am glad I have seen AC/DC. 2009, in particular was insane. I was a teenager, still and it was the BiB lineup. Plus, they had the crazy stage show with the train and I saw them on the floor. Can't get much better than that for me and AC/DC. If they do a full tour, I will be glad for all the people who have not gotten to see them before. They may be older, but it would still be a good box to check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see why they'd spend the guts of two months rehearsing with another drummer to then decide to change and bring Chris Slade back in. Not saying it's out of the question, but it would be odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAU3R Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 „Yes, the waiting is frustrating but what can we do... Apparently parts of the tour schedule had to be replanned as the band asked for more days off to rest, hence the announcement still has not been released. At least in Germany we wil get a full scale tour with ca. 10 shows. Worth mentioning that it looks like there will be no gig in Berlin this time (I hope they still can squeeze this in somehow and will not ommit Berlin as the shows there and the prepartys organized by the local fanclub on the past tours were exceptionally good). Aside from that expected concerts in Munich, Hannover, Gelsenkirchen, Stuttgart, Hockenheim, Dresden and Nuremberg (no idea about the sequence of the shows and in some of these places they plan to do two shows, most likely in Munich, Hannover and Gelsenkirchen), along with two gigs in Vienna / Austria. Same promoter is also trying to set up a show or two in eastern Europe. No idea when to expect start of ticket sales at the moment. Other artists (e.g. Pearl Jam) were supposed to reveal their plans for a European tour schedule 2024 this month as well, but haven't yet (they only announced two festival shows) so I guess this is a little complicated at the moment if you look on the already well booked venues with other major tours and the football Euro tournament in Germany in the summer coming up.“ posted on the AC/DC forum.

SAU3R Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Yeah, the focus seems to be on Europe right now, it wouldn’t make any sense to announce something in Seattle. Pearl Jam are due to announce a US tour and they have a Seattle connection so maybe they’ll announce something and AN confused it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K00b4 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Either way, we are about to find it out in less than an hour - reportedly some sorta announcement is planned for a stadium in Chicago at 10 am their time, being 50 min from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K00b4 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Nothing here as well, which just shows that it still isn't /DC, at least for now. Took the info from here, seems that some event is taking place with a live stream window that does not work for me sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Dunno how much I trust that. Bratislava makes absolutely no sense on such a short tour. Not to mention they've never played Slovakia before, and AC/DC isn't particularly adventurous about playing new countries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
