hell yeah - this rocks! We're looking forward to perform this song this saturday. So there's a lotta work waiting for my band Hellfire, haha...
Is it absolutely necessary for every single AC/DC song to be "anthemic"? Anthemic to me says big-haired arena rock from the 80s and isn't AC/DC's movement away from the more personal material of the Bon Scott era and into the arena rock of the Brian Johnson era ultimately their downfall in the 80s with albums like For Those About to Rock and Flick of the Switch? Really, when it comes down to it, aren't some of the songs from those albums, like "Nervous Shakedown" and "Spellbound", ultimately better in the long run and much closer to the personal songwriting tradition that Bon Scott came from than the one-two punch of "Put the Finger On You" and "Flick of the Switch", singles which ultimately failed to last beyond the introductory sugar rush? When someone proclaims that they were "playing air guitar and drumming the whole day and I loved it because it was anthemic", they end up coming across as a mullet-headed braindead freak with no critical ability whatsoever to discern between awesome, amazing AC/DC - "Shot Down in Flames," "Highway to Hell", "RnR Damnation", "If You Want Blood", "Riff Raff", "The Furor", "The Razor's Edge", "Landslide" and so on and AC/DC basically being a parody of what they think they are - "Stiff Upper Lip", "Hard As A Rock", "Flick of the Switch", etc - "anthemic" songs full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing. Looking at the tracklist, I can't help but to wonder whether Brian Johnson's songs from Totally Baked are more genuinely soulful (not to mention funny) and personal, while the songs he's writing for this album look to be like AC/DC photocopies a la the Flick of the Switch album. Some of the titles, too, make me think AC/DC is trying to write a Dio-era Black Sabbath album - "War Machine", "Wheels" for half of the record while the other half is supposed to replicate Bon Scott era pub fare - "She Loves Rock n Roll." WTF is that supposed to mean anyways, "RnR Train running right off the tracks". At least when Brian sings "Spellbound" (as he hasn't for over 25 years), "Meanstreak" or "Danger", there seems to be some kind of connection there and earlier tracks like "If You Want Blood" clearly connect with the audience and connect on a personal level with the band being thrown out to the audiences like Christians in a cage when they were still an opening act. Anyways, we'll see in two months (probably sooner once the torrents link out) whether this album has any personal touches and actually tries to connect with its audience beyond having them bang their mullet heads and buy more shit with the AC/DC logo emblazoned on it and we'll also see if the band actually try to connect with the audience like they used to rather than hammering them with the same old auto-pilot "Let There Be Rock" solos and usual cliche'd AC/DC setlist - however great those songs may be.
That being said, their 2003 setlists, where they didn't depend on ending with the bang of "For Those About to Rock" and they changed up the order as they saw fit quite frequently - not to mention playing obscure or never played live tracks (I'm talking about you "What's Next to the Moon") was a refreshing changeup from the past 23 years and we can only hope that they continue that organic evolution. It's only too bad it took them 23 years to reach that evolutionary stage and it will be too bad if they do not continue on it. Props to elements of the 1996 and 2001 tours, too, where they pulled out obscure faves like "Up to My Neck in You" and "Down Payment Blues". Hopefully this tour they continue to move beyond formula (move the guitar solo back into "Rocker" or another track and pull out cool tracks like "The Furor" and "Meanstreak", not to mention "Ride On") and genuinely connect with themselves and their audiences again. I'd love to hear "Let There Be Rock" as a super intense 4.5 minutes like Tokyo 1981 rather than a rote, formulaic, can do it with their eyes closed call and response with the audience which hasn't sounded fun since 1991 12 minute version.
What a superb return for the boys: great sound, superb voice and good drums! Maybe a little "overworked" for a single but hey, I have been enjoying it all day long. The greatest band on earth is back on orbit. See ya soon on the road.
