Hi Sam,
The new AC/DC tune will grow on you. It’s a typical AC/DC song
and I can’t wait for the new album to be released.
Cheers,
Bill

Hey Sam,
The new AC/DC song is classic AC/DC. Brian is sounding renewed vocally. I believe the new album will rejuvenate the band and the fans. After BALLBREAKER and STIFF UPPER LIP, which were descent enough albums, the Boy’s needed this album for us fans who have come to expect nothing but the best.
Cheers,
Stephen.

I think the new single sounds GREAT and cant wait to hear the rest of the Album. As for Cruefest I think that maybe we should get a bit of a refund!! I would love to know whaat Motley Crue thinks!!!!! Security are going to have their hands full. I just feel sorry for all the people that wont hear about it till they get there!!! Wonder how many bottles will be taken away by security tonight, Great job last night at Tattoo!!!!!!

Hi Sam;
Rock and Roll Train sounds like classic AC/DC!. When I first heard the song, I can hear a bit of; “shoot to thrill”, “highway to hell”, “have a drink on me” and “let’s get it up”.
Bring on the “Black Ice” and the tour!!!
Take care;
Johnny!

Boy is this dumb government in action or what.. Actually it is smart government. They are trying to provoke an incident, and who better to do it with than the heavy metal crowd. So if everything gets trashed etc, this small government body, of whom I am sure none are attending tonite, can sit back and say, oh yes, this always happens with heavy metal concerts etc.. I bet they already have their “statement” ready to be issued should anything happen, saying none of the blame is theirs.. and it is all do to the heavy metal crowd..

I like the new AC/DC, kicking back 10 years or so. Last two albums were sleepers. I have all of their albums and picture discs until recend years, didn’t even bother with stiff upper lip. Rock on, bring the school boy back to T.O. I’ll be in line for Black Ice when it’s released!!!

Sam, I need to hear this in a few different moods, as first thing this morning was a fuzzy zone. Didn’t strike me as a very good tune.
Shure sounds like them, but something about the pacing of the song threw me off this A.M.
Shure I have a few months to get used to it, buit i want to haer what else is on the disc, so may just pick it up and get into it.
As for cruefest, drink or smoke your fill before, but go easy; if you’re drunk or wasted you won’t get in either! Bummer for the fans!
A partial refund should be offered to those that go.
PLAY!

August 28th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Hey Sam. The new AC/DC song is okay but I’m kinda disappointed. I’d like to hear what else is on the album.
August 28th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
ACDC never disappoints.I love the new song, Cant wait for the tour. As for the dry concert event tonight for crue fest….BOOO to the people who made that call. They must have a hate on for good times and good tunes.
August 28th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
If you want to Drink go to a Bar. If you want to hear music go to a Concert!
Grow Up.
August 28th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Definitely ACDC but they seem to have lost some intensity - even the greats can’t beat time.

I’m not at Cruefest tonight, shame. But I did just take a walk to the library. I’m wearing splash pants and a sweatshirt. It’s August y’all, what’s wrong with this picture? So I can only imagine how ch-ch-chilly it is down at Ontario Place, and no booze….again I ask, what’s wrong with this picture?

Finally heard the new AC/DC tune. Same 2 chord structure as every other one of their songs. It’s good but not great. Still nice to see a band that sticks to what works for them instead of changing to suit the trends. Maybe like you said Sam it has to grow on ya. I didn’t care for ‘Saints of Los Angeles’ at first but it grew on me after I heard ‘Down at the Whiskey’.
