Topic: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

I was thinking last night just after I had listened to AC/DC’s New CD “Black Ice” , That Angus just after he’d cut & finished The Master Copy of Black Ice at The Warehouse Recording Studio in Vancouver Canada , That when he ventured home to his hotel room in the late hours and lay down to sleep that a little wicked grin came and he thought to himself “That’ll Kick Up Some Dust “

Cos Let Me Tell You One And All …. This Is The Best Rock Album In The Last 20 years

Let Me Explain …. See being a huge fan of AC/DC for over 25 years and catching them live 46 times all over Europe from 1978 thru to 2000 and having all their music and much more I thought I could pass a true fans judgement on this release ….. Well I thought ( like many others ) that AC/DC’s best years were long gone behind them , They were an aging old Rock Band who were fading away , their last offering was the 2000 cd “Stiff Upper Lip” , a very weak album even by AC/DC standards , and  they’re inactivity the new cd was bought with apprehension ……… But Let Me Tell You Not Since The Great “ Back In Black “
Have they Rocked This Hard , This is a Monumental Release in All Departments …. The Production is Silky Crisp and Heavy  with Angus in Devilish Form with Blistering White Hot Guitar Work on His Gibson SG and Fast Chunky Chops with  Stunning Solo’s and Brian’s Vocals are Smoother not so rasping like he’s singing not screeching and THE ENGINE ROOM of Malcolm’s Boogie Rhythm Guitar , Cliff’s Thumping Lumps of  Full Bass and Phil’s Real Rock Drum Beat that just drives every song along relentlessly ….
This Is Rock Music In It’s Finest Form ….. So all you forum Buddy’s I would Recommend this as an Essential Purchase because I was knocked out by everything on music display here , it is a stunning piece of work / production and all you Lucky people in North USA You Got Joe & The Boys and Angus & The Boys on Tour ( Starting Tomorrow Tues 28th Oct in PA ) I Would Advise while AC/DC are in This Mood Catch ’em Live cos with all the old Classics like Back in Black , Whole Lotta Rosie , Let There Be Rock , Highway to Hell and they planning on doing a $8 Million Stage Show this is gonna be a blast to See Live with all That Marshall Stack Power . Joe Bogie Carmine Rick Could even travel to Catch a SHOW on their days off
So Jump in your car  Slide “Black Ice” in the CD tray and wind down the window flick Play and just drive and let the world dance & smile as you drive past …………..

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

I'll have to check out this album.  I really dug their last studio effort Stiff Upper Lip.

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

Can't wait to see the setlist after the first gig. I'll be at the 2nd Oakland show on Dec. 4th, with Bonabuddies. I haven't removed the new disc since it showed up in the mail last Thur. Your review is on the money, this is the best since Back In Black, even Rolling Stone gave it a favorable review. Can't wait for the live gig.

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

Oh yes....picked this one up the day it came out big_smile

Its actually top of the UK album charts. I think thats the first time i've ever watched UK's official album chart on TMF lol. Good to see Rock n Roll train blasing on a channel that does ur usual crap.

Sorry to see you had to pay £400,  thats crazy money.

I got some for dublin, was queued outside ticket master form 4 or 5 AM,  twas a cold one.

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

How ironic the name of the new AC/DC's new album is Black Ice. They are playing in Tulsa just about 100 miles up the toll way.

We are under Travelers Advisories over the entire half of the state. Up to 1/2 inch of ice expected. I was planning on driving up for the show. Came home slipped on some Black Ice and thought better of making the trip.

The last time I drove to Tulsa during a winter storm to see Lindsey Buckingham we spent 3 hours on the turnpike sitting absolutley still till they cleared the wreck off the road about 6 miles ahead. There was a concrete median barrier wall not allowing us to turn around.

Looks like I can add them to the list of never seen.

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

Man Jim that blows, not to make youi feel any less miserable, they put on the greatest show I've ever seen...definetely lived up to the hype....I hear the're doing an outdoor summer tour though

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

I love this album...and it's the best engineered/produced AC/DC record ever! There's noting like great music that also sounds great!

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

I love it too.  Black Ice, LFNIP, and Blackberry Smoke's EP Little Piece of Dixie are heavy in my current rotation.

definitely far superior to anything they have released in a long time, i just don't think i can agree with that assessment.

Re: AC/DC ....... " BLACK ICE "

AC/DC are my new hero's. I had bought 4 tix to the Tulsa show last Monday night. The Ice started falling about 7:00 am. I waited till about 2:00pm to decide not to make the 100 mile drive for the show. I did manage to get my tickets to an employee to see if he could at least get some gas money out of them.

After a 4 hour drive and several near ditchings he made it. He said there were so many tix for sale he didn't even try. $400 bucks down the drain.

Today the venue announced a refund would be given to all that were unable to attend the show. I have never heard of refunds being given to a show that played. How cool is that. AC/DC rocks.
