The song is called “Rock and Roll Train” and it sure does sound like AC/DC! The band has never messed with its formula before and why should they? It’s not an instant classic, but it definitely rocks, especially when Angus’ solo kicks in midway through. I hope to hell these guys still have a world tour left in them. Check out the song at their MySpace Page.
from Ultimate-Guitar.com:
AC/DC has finished recording its new album and is currently mixing the effort for a late 2008 release, the group’s vocalist Brian Johnson revealed yesterday morning (Tuesday, April 22) during an interview with Washigton D.C.’s DC 101 radio station.
Johnson has apparently left the studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada where AC/DC guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young have remained with producers Mike Fraser and Brendan O’Brien in order to complete work on the CD.
Brian also stated that the band will next work on getting the artwork done and take care of the promotional activities in connection with the release, to be followed by a tour.
According to Reuters, the new album will be AC/DC’s first for Sony BMG’s Epic Records label, which reissued the band’s back catalog a few years ago.
O’Brien is also known for his work with The Offspring, Rage Against The Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Audioslave and Velvet Revolver, among others.
VH1 Classic host Eddie Trunk recently revealed on his New York radio show that AC/DC was rumored to be planning a “farewell” tour for later in the year.
In other news, “Totally Baked”, a “stoner comedy” on which Brian Johnson is listed as an executive producer, debuted on DVD yesterday, April 22. Johnson also wrote three new songs for the movie’s soundtrack.
