Change up the setlist:
I think AC/DC should change up they're setlist everynight. They can play they're staples like shook me highway to hell FTATR LTBR WLOR Thundersruck TNT BIB DDDDC Hells Bells. Promote the new album Black Ice War Machine and Rock n Roll Train. Then the next 7 songs change or mix every night.
...Always good for a laugh! And many others are missing some airtime. Riff Raff is such a great opener, it's a shame they only did it two or three times - one of those to record a live album...
Riff Raff and Guns For Hire were the best concert openers. I'd be happy if they just alternated those two as openers each night.
That would be a good idea, i think thunderstruck would be their best opener, have angus do the strip during jailbreak. for mixing up the setlist, have more songs from new album and rare concert song from the 80's and i whould put you shook me right before FTATR like it was on some shows back in 81. Just for old times sake!!!!!
Everyone on this post is right. Just because they have the $6 Million Dollar waste-of-money RnR Train bursting through the stage at the start doesn't mean they have to start the show with RnR Train. After all, they started with Back in Black on the Ballbreaker tour after the wrecking ball destroyed the wall, right? If they insist on keeping RnR Train (what a fucking stupid title and degradation of their legacy - it's like lyrically they've become Airbourne. The music for the song is pretty great, though.) in the setlist, they can throw it somewhere in the middle of the first half like they did with the equally stupid Hard as a Rock (never bothering to play The Furor or Burning Alive - much, much better songs).
Yeah play something like who made who or heatseeker or even shake your foundations
Nervous Shakedown and Gone Shootin' would be quality. For the Punchestown gig they addd Dog Eat Dog, I was delighted with that. Also Ballbreaker/Hail Ceaser would be great crowd pleasers.
Stiff Upper Lip and Hard as a Rock would be great but for some reason that haven't played it this tour. I would enjoy hearing High Voltage, She's Got Balls, Hell or High Water or just something different would be nice.
@RnRDamnation: I agree with you. However, I do think RNR Train is a smart choice for the opener. It's the lead single off Black Ice, so even casual fans will know it. But it would still be awesome if they threw in Guns For Hire or something for the hardcore fans. Speaking of concert openers, I think the stupid choices they've made are Hells Bells and Stiff Upper Lip. Both are great songs, but are too slow to start a concert.
RnRDamnation: LOL, I agree 100% about RNR Train. That's why I didn't believe it when the album's song list came out before the album. I thought the names sounded too stupid to be real. I don't understand why the Youngs won't let Brian help with the lyrics. Thunderstruck is a sweet opener, but wouldn't work with the train. Guns For Hire: maybe, if Angus skipped the ridiculous soloing in the beginning. Riff Raff probably wouldn't work with train. Ballbreaker would work. Imagine how confused people would beif they played Rock 'N' Roll Dream after the cartoon! They'd probably get booed offstage... I was at the Gilette Stadium concert and boy was I pissed when they didn't change anything. I was sure that being so far into the tour with minimal changes, they would change it. But I was wrong. At this point, I would be more surprised if they DID change the setlist for the DVD. I gotta give them credit though, it was WORLDS better than their MSG show in November. Oh yeah, and Anvil sucked.
I would appreciate it if you didn't insult Anvil, they're one of my favourite bands.
Why do you think they haven't gotten famous after thirty years? And they're only getting recognition now because their documentary has won the public's pity.
Famous musicians aren't always good ones. Most pop singers are terrible and have no talent. I listen to a lot of good bands that nobody knows of; that doesn't mean they lack talent.
Sure, they may be talented, but they are awful composers. Maybe Yngvie Malmsteen could play Angus's ass off, but he could never write a riff like Angus, and which really matters in the end?
Dude, Why insult rnr train and other bands. I find the answer an awesome band, but if let's say a year or so ago I said on here that I like the answer, you all would prob say about them what you say about anvil. Just saying
I still don't like the Answer, but I can at least respect the music they play because they at least sound legible, for lack of a better term. And I never insulted R 'N' R Train, I simply said it never clicked with me.
Sorry, keep forgetting that you don't hate it. Well I that that The Answer is great and if you don't like them that's fine
I think RnR Train is a great opener but when i 1st saw them in November i was kinda pissed because they didnt play Hard As A Rock and a few others. Also what happened to "Are you Ready?" Not saying that would be the perfect opener, but if it was played after RnR train it would be good, and it would make sense because everyone is getting ready for a good time. I also wish there was more older songs, i mean what happened to sin city? they used to play that all the time.
Yoshi, you were expecting a setlist change in the first leg of the tour? XD And Are You Ready was barely played in '91 and never after that, so there's no way they would ever resurrect it.
1.Long Way To The Top: Band comes out, nothing special, maybe a picture of Bon, or a video of Bon playing bagpipes, still the big screen same stage like before the train comes out. 2.Rock N Roll Train: Band goes back in after LWTTT, the video package shows, they come out same thing as normal set. 3. Shoot To Thrill: need to get this one out of the way at the beginning, so brian doesnt hurt his voice 4.Stiff Upper Lip: this one is pretty good live, i'd keep it for a good mid tempo song for the crowd to enjoy 5.Back IN Black: have to put it somewhere, works better in the beginning. 6. Hell Aint A Bad Place To Be: im still thinking if this wouldnt be better where STT is, because the riff is great to smash into after the opener. 7: Big Jack: another good one from the new album. i think we'l keep this in the live set. 8: Bad Boy Boogie: this is the only strip song that works. im suprised they didnt change it for this tour 9: Thunderstruck: has to go in here too bad i cant fit it more towards the beginning. 10: The Jack: I am one of the few that still enjoy this song. it works best without the strip. 11: War Machine: after a slow one,, we speed it back up, but just a bit. this will be the last BI song in the set i think. it should be really dark out by now, and the dim lighting makes a great mood. 12: Hard As A Rock: Now an up-tempo one for everyone 13: Hells Bells: this works great late in the set, building up to the huge hits. 14:Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap: i was always confused why this was towards the beginnig of the set, when it should be towards the end. 15: You Shook Me All Night Long: has to go somewhere. 17: Whole Lotta Rosie: this has to go second to last, because its suck a ripper. 18:Let There Be Rock: dont have to explain this one. (encore) 19: Moneytalks: Its one for the fans who stayed, and it would include showers of "Black Ice Dollars" 20: T.N.T.: I always likes when they played this at the end/second to last. i dont know why, but it works. 21: For Those About To Rock: see LTBR.
People wouldn't like your exclusion of HTH although I'd be fine with it. Not a bad set, although I would want more new ones because if they don't play some more obscure new tracks on this tour, then they never will.
You know it would be funny if they do the Europe tour and (because they will record the DVD) decide to change the setlist for the 8-10 remaining stadium concerts in Europe :)
I would be happy yet disappointed if that was true. Happy because THEY FINALLY CHANGED THE FREAKIN SETLIST but disappointed that they didn't change it earlier, and also probably disappointed because they dropped new songs.
Wouldn't it be great if they added Touch Too Much or Bedlam In Belgium.
1. Who made Who: Great opening song in my mind 2. Rock n Roll Train: Time to change the starting song 3. Back in Black: The song is great in the beginning of the show 4. Stiff Upper Lip: Has a pretty good tempo and its a reat song 5. Shot Down In Flames: It is just a great song and works best early in the show 6. Thunderstruck: Has a good tempo and is a crowd pleaser 7. Black Ice: One of my favorites off the new album and it is great live 8: Bad Boy Boogie: Striptease great song 9. Hells Bells: Greaat song right in the middle of the set list 10. Anything Goes: Has a fast tempo to get the crowd going 11. Shoot to Thrill: i like it in the middle the set list personnaly 12. Ballbreaker: I love this song and think they should play it live 13. Dog Eat Dog: just a great song to play 14. Rock N Roll Aint Noise Pollution: a great song and works best toward the end of the set list 15. Touch Too Much: They need to play this song live it's great 16. Whole Lotta Rosie: one of AC/DC greatest songs 17. You Shook me all night long: Great Song has to be played 18. Let There Be Rock: No Need to explain why to play this song encores 19. Hail Caesar: Love this song song as the first encore 20. Highway To Hell: Has To be played and works great as an encore 21. For those about to rock: Usually ends the show and is great 2nd encore 22. TNT: I think this song should end the show
does anyone else have any more song ideas they'd like to share?
"10. Anything Goes: Has a fast tempo to get the crowd going" Ha!In your dreams maybe :) Anyway the whole lotta setlist thing is going on and on for months, so let me just say that if they don't change the setlist for the summer Euro gigs then they should retire ASAP.
i agree that they need to change the selist but that setlist i made should only be used one night then changed a little bit the next night
Another thing they could do is play an album front to back then mix in more songs for a full setlistt
I think they should mix up maybe take out a few BI songs but replace them with others from BI and then take out a few others and replace with something from SUL or BB
"i whould put you shook me right before FTATR like it was on some shows back in 81. Just for old times sake!!!!! " Wrong. Solo, You shook me, For those about. There we go. I wish they still did the "ysmanl solo. ", i mean what happened to sin city? they used to play that all the time." I know man... I know "Riff Raff and Guns For Hire were the best concert openers. I'd be happy if they just alternated those two as openers each night." You read my mind
