I love AC/DC, but damn they stock their dressing rooms like a bunch of pontzy librarians. My Trader Joe's list is more fun. Way more fun! I guess they are on tour all year and it's probably a little draining. The Smoking Gun has snatched up one of AC/DC's tour riders. AC/DC specifically requests oxygen tanks, tea and plants. They do request five ashtrays and a 12-pack of Heineken, but the twelver must only be stocked "15 minutes after AC/DC goes on stage." For some reason I have a feeling that is a rule that came from lessons learned. Here's a some of the crap they want:
AC/DC will require 3 dressing rooms
Two (2) Live potted trees, height depending on ceiling
VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING:
* 5 LARGE ASHTRAYS (GLASSS ONLY) EACH IN ALL THREE BAND DRESSING ROOMS
1 BOX OF TWINNINGS ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA - RED BOX W/ 50 BAGS
50 PACKETS OF SUGAR
20 REAL COFFEE MUGS
1 CASE OF BOTTLED HEINEKEN (NOTE: NO BEER IN DRESSING ROOM PRIOR TO SHOW) PLEASE STOCK BEER IN DRESSING ROOM 15 MINUTES AFTER AC/DC GOES ONSTAGE
ORGANIC CORN CHIPS, TIN OF PEANUTS, FRESH POPCORN, BOWL OF WHOLE FRUiT INCLUDING BANANAS, SELECTION OF IMPORTED CHEESE AND CRACKERS
That title is all you really need to say when mentioning these guys. Actually, it should be more like 'AC/DC!!!'
Rolling Stone magazine sucks balls, but they do have good writers and when they actually write about music, I love to read it. And maybe, if they got that 'My Campaign Memories' and 'Mexico At War' sh!t off the cover I'd rip this thing off and post it on my wall. Probably not, but still - I want a metal cover! I used to have a killer Axl Rose one from Spin but my mom made me take it down. That's BS. Anyways - yeah so AC/DC is in Rolling Stone. Yeah!
I still haven't bought it because I have no idea where Wal-Mart is, but AC/DC's new album is one the top of the charts in 29 countries. As in, almost 30. The 29 countries Black Ice is numero uno are: US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, Argentina, Japan, Australia, Belgium, Finland, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, and a bunch others that I guess are too small for the news guy to include in the list.
Black Ice sold almost 800,000 albums in the US in the first week. And the album is only available at Wal-Mart for some lame reason.
I still need to buy the new Kings of Leon, AC/DC, Guns 'n' Roses, The Killers and so many others. No wonder I just illegally download everything. Jeez!
Ok so this is the weirdest Angus Young interview I've ever seen. Actually it's the weirdest interview of anybody I've ever seen. Aside from the crap editing job, there's a Japanese guy speaking the whole time. And Angus listens up like he can speak Japanese. Uhh, huh? And it's not like Angus speaks the bmost clear English. So the whole interview is like:
Japanese guy: blah blah blah (in Japanese)
Angus: Ah eh yeah mate so iz like da best album we'z eva made.
Japanese guy: argaerg rga ergaerg Ashee Deshee
Angus: Ehhuh wit AC/DC ahh yeh dats AC/DC and we'r gonna blast yuh balls off ah.
They may be old, but they're not dead! AC/DC has announced a bunch of dates for their upcoming tour. Stoked! Been waiting since 2000 to see them again. Last time I saw them I couldn't buy booze for four years. Had to sneak everything in hehe. Still can't buy joints. Shoot!
Anyways, for an AC/DC show near you, please click ----> here.
That new AC/DC song 'Rock 'n Roll Train' from their next album - the first in eight years - has been thrown on the internets. And you know what: it sounds exactly like AC/DC! When I first hit play I thought I was listening to You Shook Me All Night Long, but all fucked up. I just got back from the Waikiki Hilton roof bar though so, yeah. And yep - new AC/DC, this tour is going kill it I wanto my little devil horns and school boy outfit!
Here's the cover of the new AC/DC album, Black Ice. The first single 'Rock n Roll Train' comes out in about a week. They just shot the video - one of the extras says the song "has a heavy driving drumbeat with bass being loud n hard to me. It sounded like a cross between 'Hard As A Rock' and 'All Screwed Up'.
Or, it sounds like a cross between every single AC/DC song ever made. Heavy drumbeat and bass line??? Not even stop with all that foolery you wacky extra.
Word on the street is if you want the new AC/DC album, you're going to have to buy it at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart: the store that bans naughty albums. So the band that wrote Highway to Hell and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Whole Lotta Rosie and Touch Too Much and Problem Child - fuck now I wanna blast some AC/DC - is going to put out an album that can pass the censors. AC/DC is one of only three major bands that doesn't sell their stuff on iTunes.
You suck AC/DC!! And I usually only say that when I'm listening to Stuff Upper Lip.
You suck too Wal-Mart!! Stop stealing our music! Stick to selling soap and $5 bottles of wine. Actually, you're $5 wine sucks to!
Finally! Museums are getting some quality pieces within their walls. Angus Young's school boy outfit is going in theMelbourne Museum as a way to document the history of the Australian city.
Field trip! Kids need to know this kind of stuff. Make 'em stand and stare at it for a while and blast Whole Lotta Rosie or Dirty Deeds.
What kid doesn't need to learn 'Bout a woman I know, When it comes to lovin', Oh she steals the show, She ain't exactly pretty, Ain't exactly small.
