Open Letter to AC/DC fans!
acdcfans.net Bonlives, the head guy over there wrote this letter, you guys sould send it to any AC/DC related websites you can think of, get the word out!
http://www.acdcfans.net/index.php?view=article&catid=1:latest-news&id=45 Yes, go to this link for the full story.
hells yes!!!!!!!!!!!! they shouldn't take out the hits like BIB, and YSMANL, but at least add a song or two take out some of the black ice tracks, and swap dog eat dog with another thing and maybe switch with something from like powerage. or do like 10 hits and have the rest a bunch of random songs from there catalog. just to let everyone know i am a die hard ac/dc fan and i love everything they have offered but the hits are good songs though i mean you cant tell me that YSMANL sucks can you?
Ya, I would like it if they played Its A Long Way To The Top, Down Payment Blues, Night Prowler, Have A Drink On Me, Badlands or Brainshake, Playing With Girls, Moneytalks, Caught With Your Pants Down, Damned, and Rock N Roll Dream played live.
Awesome! But how do they plan on getting it to the band? Has it already been sent? If not, I would say we should add some song suggestions just so they don't think we want more High Voltage, Jailbreak, etc.
suicidehummer: We don't want High Voltage, Jailbreak, etc? You mean we don't want some of the best songs they have ever written that are totally fucking amazing live? I'm not sure I understand that. If what you mean is you don't want them to narrow the list to those two particular awesome songs, I agree with you, but I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with those songs returning to the setlist.
Even though some of the Bon songs are strictly Bon, like Live Wire, and Ride On.
donneyboy: Not sure what you're talking about. Brian did a great job on Ride On in 2001 and would probably do a great job on Live Wire now. Sure, he screwed it up in 1982, but that was 27 years ago and he is much more confident now than he was then. How is this letter getting to the band? It should be turned into an online petition or something. If 100 000 people from around the world sign it, they will look awfully arrogant if they don't pay attention.
if they are going to change the setlist, the songs that should be dropped are: Shot Down In Flames, Hell Aint A Bad Place To Be, and Big Jack. Added: Spoilin For A Fight, Cant Stand Still (would love to see Malcolm solo live), and Rock N Roll Damnation
I'd love to see them play Walk All Over You again. Especially if followed by Touch Too Much. I think this is one of the best sequences in rock history. Some songs are mandatory in an AC/DC concert (Highway to Hell, You Shook Me, For Those About To Rock, Hells Bells and so on), but they have so many great material that is never performed live. I believe AC/DC should do like the Stones and change some songs from concert to concert. I'd freak out if they did Long Way To The Top, Gimme A Bullet, Heatseeker, Burnin' Alive, The Furor, Satellite Blues, Rock & Roll Dream (my favorite from the latest album) or Shake Your Foundations, which turned me into AC/DC in the first place. Still, the set-list from the present tour is a killer! Lula Carneiro --------------------------------------------------- Shows attended: Oct 12th 1996, São Paulo. No sleep 'til nov 27th! :D
Brazil: Welcome to this site! I couldn't agree more with what you are saying. If you look through some of the many, many setlist complaints that have been drawn up on this site, you will see that just about everybody wants to see a bit of variation after the same old thing for 30 years. The rotating setlist is the way to go. As far as I'm concerned, when I saw them live in August, they may as well have been playing from a hard drive from a successful show earlier in the year.
I'm guessing (for Euro stadium tours)2 songs in 2 songs out. The apparent is 2 black ice songs out Stiff+Hard in. What they have said before the tour starts was POWERAGE song(s) but at this stage, fuck it.Just make this change so you can convince me to get up from my couch. And this is more difficult cuz if they don't come to Greece i must take a journey abroad again.And i fuc$in' hate to leave the Greek Island in summer time,you know.
Well, they haven't played here in the last 13 years, so I'm going to the concert for sure! But now that you mentioned, some Powerage would be awesome. I also read somewhere that they did Bad Boy Boogie in pre-tour rehearsals. I'd love to hear that one.

RnRDamnation: I mean we've already heard those played to death from the mid '80's-'91. And Donnington has excellent versions of both songs. So let's hear something we haven't heard. Sure, Jailbreak and High Voltage may be great songs but they're not hits and we've already heard them so they would be lousy choices (much like Dog Eat Dog) for a set change.
i agree High Voltage and Jailbreak would be lousy choices but maybe they should play something like rocker, fly on the wall, who made who, hail caesar, give it up, skies on fire, badlands, or rock n roll dream. Tht should make AC/DC fans happy
SPOSED TO BE A R'n'R BAND, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE CLASSIC FUCK YOU ANTHEM FROM ROCK FANS OF ALL AGES? "ROCK 'N' ROLL AINT NOISE POLLUTION"
how do they plan to get this to AC/DC i mean if they do awesome
jomek: I think at this point ANY change would make us happy, lol.
well according to this site: http://www.ac-dc.net/archives/date.php?date_id=4203 Anything Goes was dropped
Shit... AC/DC, if you were listening... that's not what I meant!!!! lol.
