AC/DC Says Lars

[The Nal]

Well, I heard today that ACDC shouldn't be ruled out.

Would sh1t all over Metallica if they did play.

They're not fit to string Metallicas guitars. Metallica are a progressive band. Always have been. AC/DC is continuous 3 chord cock rock. AC/DC are like Status Quo with distortion.

Edit - thats not to say they will nail the headliner slot by the way. They will if they play, no question.

I saw em at Leeds Queens Hall on that tour i was only 16 , I had seen Saxon a few days before ,, my first gigs what an introduction to live music and its why i am on this forum now.

The day after DC I went to Hong Kong for a month with my mum and brother ( my dad had died the year before - you could not get my dad out of the UK there was no Newcastle United information abroad ) anyway we were on the shuttle flight from Leeds Bradford to Heathrow and Malcolm and Phil walked onto the plane. As we landed i got Phils autograph but Malc was still asleep so i let him be. I have sitll have ticket and Phil's signature somewhere.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Pity Malcolm won't be around if they do play the farm. I don't doubt it'll be good, but he was obviously so, so key to the Dacca magic.

Either way it'll be taps aff, especially in comparison to bloody Metallica.

[parsonjack]

too early to start the opening number debate...?

'Thunder!...nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah...Thunder!...nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....Thunder!...nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah........'

[LondonTom]

Will we have to to adhere mosh pit etiquette (and a thorough dicusion of what that etiquette is?) at AC/DC like we did during Metellica to avoid deaths?

Those middle aged blokes in demin in the videos look a right raucous bunch!

[Stu H]

After the disappointment of missing out on The Mac, the thought of AC/DC is cranking excitement levels up again!

[A Guy Called Matt]

My wife uses elbows in an AC/DC mosh pit!! Be afraid

If they play GF they will open with Hells Bells regardless of what they do on tour.

THAT gong and opening riff....Jesus the place would go nuts

Hells Bells - yes it would!!

[CaledonianGonzo]

To be honest that's a track that's never really done anything for me. It's just a plodding dirge. Shoot To Thrill is much more the ticket.

[Mouseboy11]

Never actually realised how long Brian Johnson had been in the band, thought Bon Scott had sang over the majority of their stuff. (Mind you, without knowing I've always found it difficult to distinguish between the two)

Hells Bells is a great opener if you want to build it. Great tune.

"Big Balls" and "It's a long way to the top" are two of my favourites.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The latter's an absolute belter, though unfortunately there's zip chance of it making an appearance if they play.

Really? I thought it'd be one of their big ones. Although looking at Setlist.fm "The Jack" is apparently their most played song and I've never heard of it!

Really?! Here you go - warning, this video does contain a 50-odd year old man stripping down to his boxers!

[Superscally]

Rock or Bust has the potential to be am awesome set starter. Rock and Roll Train was an amazing one for the last tour...

[Superscally]

They don't tend to play IALWTTT because it's the archetypal Bon song, but I'm optimistic this tour will be different...

[The Nal]

You're very lucky that you've made it this far through life without hearing The Jack. It embarrassingly bad.

I do not think they played it in later years with Bon - the bagpipes probably had something to do with that !

[CaledonianGonzo]

Edit: Already covered.

As for The Jack, I quite like it. It's not especially sophisticated, but there are worse louche, thuggish, low-slung blues tunes in existence.

Edited December 10, 2014 by CaledonianGonzo

[The Nal]

That and the fact that Brian doesn't want to sing it as he feels it was too much of a signature song for Bon Scott.

Its a pity because thats the Glasto opener. Perfect.

As for The Jack, I quite like it. It's not especially sophisticated, but there are worse louche, thuggish, low-slung blues tunes in existence.

But not many.

If we're going into louche and thuggish tunes I'll take Givin the Dog A Bone any day. But they don't play that do they?
