Mahkiavelli, no one could of said it better. They just enjoy making music, they have the money already so there is no need to change their sound to try scrape in a few extra. If you listen to the 74′ Jailbreak album and Black Ice, they still sound very much the same and who gives a fuck, because it is fucking awesome.

Nice review – I really don’t think more can be said. AC/DC sounds like AC/DC – which is also to say they really don’t sound like anyone else. Yes, they have been releasing the same album repeatedly, but does it really matter? We don’t want AC/DC to change, and why should they? It would reek of pretension if all of a sudden the Young brothers wanted to put out a all-acoustic album, or record with a symphony. We like AC/DC for the same reasons we like Slayer, or Kiss, or shit even Megadeth. Those bands do one thing really well – and we don’t like it when they do anything else, nor do we expect them to.

The most you can ask for from an album by a band that’s been around for 30 years is, does it suck? In the case of Black Ice, it definitely does not.

dthrasher said it best. There is never anything surprising on an AC/DC album but that said they still rock. Brian Johnson still belts it out with that “I just drank a bottle of Jack and smoked a carton of smokes” vocal not having really lost anything from his debut on Back in Black. That’s amazing after thousands of shows. AC/DC only prove that they can still rock and that hasn’t changed since they began.

AC/DC is one band that I’ll never understand.

They wrote one damn song and have been remixing it their entire fucking career.

So basically they’re the Dragonforce of an older generation.

@ Sammy: damn, maybe i should buy lottery tickets today? probably at one of those automatic lottery machines at Walmart while i pick up “Black Ice”!? btw doesn’t the cover kinda look like the label for Smirnoff Black Ice (minus the red logo)? is that a coincidence or sneaky product placement?

Metallica should take a few lessons from AC/DC.

@TTPP: Ha! I just looked up the lyrics:

Chorus:
Runaway Train
(Running right off the track)
Runaway Train
(Running right off the track)
Runaway Train
(Running right off the track)
Yeah the Runaway Train
(Running right off the track)

haven’t heard the song but i’m willing to take a stab here and say that “Rock n’ Roll Train” probably has a line about something going off the tracks yadda yadda

Dateline: Any white trash Wal-mart you can think of

White trash fans around the world failed to show up to purchase the newest release from venerable rock stalwarts AC/DC, thinking the album was called “Black Guys” instead of its actual name. AC/DC, being from Australia (and Scotland) miscalculated in their effort to sell to their long-standing American demographic.
