    I was really hoping they would make an album with Axl Rose -- he sounds like Bon.

    Sounds like classic AC/DC. Where the strippers at?

    it sounds like 100 other ac/dc songs...and im good with that.

    its a pretty bad ass song, especially for a bunch of 70 year olds.

    Wait, when did Brian come back?? And Phil Rudd too?

    This is awesome. Comebacks only work when original members (who are still alive) come back.

    My understanding is there is a lot of Malcolm material on this album. I will always be a fan of AC/DC as they were a band I listened to in the 80s. Unfortunately, that is where they remain for me. I do appreciate they are still doing their thing. But, their classic hits and albums are still their best work imo. They do sound great, though. I’m interested enough to give the new songs a listen. Glad to see their singer is back after the hearing issues.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    AC/DC is a band that will never "go in a new direction" (hopefully).

    AC/DC needs to put out an experimental electronic album produced by Thom Yorke before they retire.

    Love it! Reminds me of Pressure off by Duran Duran. Love bands that still sound like they always did.

    WHOA

    We've gone from Ac/Dc to Duran Duran? AC/DC sucks and I love Duran Duran, but what the hell is going on?

    Went out on a date with an ex from 4 years ago. My bad.

    You know AC/DC is my favorite band. So I'll give you this.

    Oh yes I do. And they suck, and will continue to suck.

    eta: I take that back: they were really fun when I was in Junior High

    Were you hungry like the wolf when you went out tonight?

    eta: you also just played the worst Ozzy song that Ozzy ever songed.

    So you have that going for you, which is nice.

    All in perspective. I recall going through an Astroworld Arcade in 1986 with that in the background

    This video released today. Looks like it could be their swan song by the video's visuals. I love it. They still can put together good music.

    They could be the next big superband.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't appreciate being moon-ed by Angus while attending one of AC/DC's concerts. I didn't pay good money to see that stupid display of gayness. They do know there are mostly men attending those shows...don't they? And, then I have to put up with juvenile fans singing "Jailbait" instead of "Jailbreak" during that song...like they are being cute.

    I just think AC/DC is a good band...if you are in high school. I didn't take them with me to college or thereafter. But, if you did, then that's fine, too.

    That said...the new music sounds pretty good for a bunch of old dudes. Back in Black is still their best album. That...and those other obvious classic hits from the early albums still eclipse anything they've done in the 90s and beyond. But, I give them credit for somehow still remaining relevant to this day. It must be the school uniform. Angus is still in school. I take it he never graduated...from eighth grade?

    Ummm. Very odd thoughts.

    Both Malcolm & Angus went to Catholic school. Angus' outfit was mocking the institution.

    Jailbait wasn't even a word in 1974. Prove me wrong.

    If you were in HS when AC/DC came out you are in your 70s.

    Dumbass...
