A MESSAGE FOR AC/DC
Can AC/DC please make another setlist. I mean they have been playing the same F'N setlist for the last year 1/2 it seems like. I mean all Im saying Im sure theyll be people who agrees with me. we want to come on here and read something new, we se the same setlist everytime we come on here and Im bout sick of goin on here read the setlist, same thing. I mean Im not trying to be harsh or nothin but give us something new for gods sake, play songs that true AC/DC fans love like gone shootin, if you want blood, problem child, jailbreak, girls got rhythm, sin city, noise pollution, have a drink on me, shake your foundations, the list can go on and on, or songs that AC/DC has NEVER played Live like some songs on black ice rnr dream, smash n grab, skies on fire etc songs like rock your heart out on razors edge, or heck play songs no one has ever heard before to make it a complete suprise. but now that the tour is bout over its probly pointless so what bout possibly if yall have another tour, not massive like black ice but make the tour last like 5-6 years off and on goin places, make a tour giving back to true die-hard ac/dc fans, instead ones all the time that are on commercials. I mean not trying to sound like a smart a$$ or what ever you wanna call me but Im sure Im not the only one who feels this way. so give us something new
well you just had ta open up Pandoras box again didnt cha? LOL
*In my best southern accent* "Yeah boy hit dat hoass!"
Brian said it already "Well f*** those guys" There are like 80 people working to make the best of the shows, and you can't just change it like that. You see, every song has its own production, so to change the setlist requires time before it (that is why they only change it when there's a break between shows)
LOL how about when they don't change it during a break? They've had plenty of breaks (not like they even need them). If you buy that BS about it being hard to play a single different song you must be nuts. All it takes is setting up a lightshow which takes a couple hours at most. It's not like they need some ridiculous prop for every song they play. Besides they used to change it up all the time; they played Badlands like once or twice on the FOTS tour, so what's stopping them from doing it now? Other bands play totally different sets every night. So there is no excuse whatsoever for two years of this stale setlist. If you wanna buy their BS excuses, have fun but don't try to tell me why it's too hard for them to fucking play one different song in the past two years.
man, you had to wind up the cord again!!!!!!! its a show, if you dont wanna see it, dont pay freakin 100 bucks to see it!!!!!!! i would pay to see an acdc show if i could.
"It's all right for me to be cute and go Let's do What's Next to the Moon tonight' and the lighting guy gets fucked over. It's just the way it is." (Brian quote) BS, the lighting guy should know all their songs and what happens during them. "I don't think they realise changing a song in a set now is not the same as it used to be" (another Brian quote) More BS, what's changed since 1980? I think they are just making these shit excuses just 'cause they can't be fucked to change a few songs for the fans.
"More BS, what's changed since 1980?" Are you seriously asking? Please read your question again and think about it. They didn't have 80+ people workin for the show, they didn't have giant screens, they didn't have prodution for each song, it was just random stuff. They didn't have an enormous stage. And I totally agree with "esau31" "if you dont wanna see it, dont pay freakin 100 bucks to see it"
besides, they give you a 2 hour tremendous shows, you people in the USA are so lucky that you can watch them perform on every tour they make with more than 50 shows each. But you didn't have enough? AC/DC came only twice to my country. The first time I was 2. And the second one was last december. And I enjoyed the show very much. You wanna hear other songs, go watch Plug Me In
Yeah but how's the giant stage/screen going to stop them playing a particular song? They still had lighting guys back in the 80's and even in the 90's when they had the big screens and productions they used to mix it up a little. Now it's just the same songs every night.
Actually I aint never seen acdc live so no i'm not lucky, i wish i could of seem em but still i wish theyd change the setlist i mean they play the same songs, same order every show and then other bands have different setlists every night, but hey they cant play all there songs now cause have of them would sound like crap drop tuned like how the B.I. tour is, no offence to them drop tuning the songs cause of brian cause i would have done the same thing, and actually i think songs some of the songs they play now i like better drop tuned like highway to hell, highway to hell sounds pretty good drop tuned, but idk

"Yeah but how's the giant stage/screen going to stop them playing a particular song?" I was just saying the differences between the 80s and these days. They had lighting guys in the 80s, but just a few, and it was all a mess, AC/DC is making the greatest show for you to enjoy. And do you go to EVERY show AC/DC has? Question, how many shows from the BI tour did you go?
WHY THE HECK DID MY COMMENT GO ON HERE TWICE?????
I've only been to one AC/DC show. And I agree with you that they have made a really great show, I didn't say it wasn't. I am just sick of their excuses and I did not like Brian saying "Fuck the fan's", that was uncalled for.
I plead the fifth. Enough with this crap about their setlist.
You only went to 1 show. What do you care about other shows?? Enjoy what YOU can, just that.
I agree with DD&MT. I explained why I cared in the other post anyway.
ok. let's change subject. Are there actually more than 24,000 members here? lol....
Matirocker you're a f*cking retard. First of all, there is NOTHING they need to change about the cameras or screens to play a different song, NOTHING. Second of all, even in 1980, 80 people would not be enough to put on an AC/DC show. They have over 3,000 people helping set up before every show now, and I'm sure they had at the very least 1,500 in 1980. And there are only more people now because of all the props they lug around and the huge stage. Once that's all set up, there are probably under 50 people involved in the actual show. Third of all, there is no "production" other than the soundboard guy unless they're shooting a DVD, in which case the production is done afterward anyway. And lastly, the size of the stage has nothing to do with the songs they play. And as far as "if you don't wanna see it don't go", I do want to see them, I just don't want to hear BIB for the trillionth time. Is that such a crime?
kinda agree with suicidehummer... You seem to not know what you're talking about, "You wanna hear other songs, go watch Plug Me In " Yeah,that'd be ok if the band were retired or dead...but THEY'RE NOT As long as the band can still play,and are on a huge ass Tour we're gonna want to hear the '81 to '2000's era. Fly on The Wall Shake Your Foundations Go Zone Sink The Pink Let's Get It Up C.O.D. Inject The Venom Danger That's The way I Wanna Rock 'N Roll Heatseeker Cover You In Oil Satellite Blues You let me know when those show up on your Plug Me In DVD
Can't understand, what's the problem, when AC/DC play the same setlist in the same world tour. Of course, every fan has some favourite songs, they should play, me too, but, why we don't all enjoy the AC/DC shows we are able to visit, maybe this will be their last tour, never forget this. Enjoy AC/DC worldwide, I will do it at Berne and Stuttgart, yesssss!!! Cheers.
Meh think about it that way. Thousand of Fans (the newer ones) are pleased to hear that songs most of the user here heard many times, because they went on so many shows the years before. For myself I missed my chances to see them. But back to topic. Imagine that THEY are playing the Songs, because they know that the fans are visiting one or two shows in the tour. And maybe just maybe they are changing the setlist after the Australia show. Thats what they did back in 2001. This isnt over yet and you are all like "OMG The same songs over and over again." And the reason is: Those are there most recogniceablest songs of all of them they´ve written/played over the last 30 years. Ask a regular person about Dc songs he knows and I bet he wouldnt say "Moneytalks" "Heatseeker" "Flick of the Switch" or "Gone Shooting" They would say "Thunderstruck" "Hells Bells" and "Highway to Hell"
Should write before clicking... lol Yes, patrick, and "Back in Black", "Shot Down In Flames", "Dirty Deeds", "TNT", "For Those About To Rock"... That's AC/DC, what else?
For the regular fan it is. For me AC/DC is a band who made an Impact with a new Lead Singer, while Bon Scott was on Top of his skills. But thats just my oppinion.
I'd really love to see the setlist changed. Other bands do it without any issues. Kiss played nearly fifty different songs on their last tour alone. ZZ Top is one band who does an excellent job with their setlist. They play all the hits (Tush, Sharp Dressed Man, etc.) for the casual fans, and throw in some deep album tracks (Mexican Blackbird, Party On The Patio, etc.) for the hardcore fans like me... But anyways, Brian's made it clear he doesn't really care.
Ok i don't say drop the regular but add 1-2 or drop 1-2 and add 3-4 new.That's not too much. And of course if they come to Europe for the 3rd time on this tour then i wouldn't even go to see them if they pay me to.
@suicidehummer I've never insulted of disrespected anyone, so don't come here to play the bad boy on the internet, cause anyone can do it. What I said about the screens, the cameras and the stage, I was just saying the differences about a show in 1980 and a show 30 years later, as I said on other post up here. The 50 people involved in the actual show, Brian said they would get pissed off if something changed without them knowing, because if you watched the show 3 million times, you will see they all have its own lighting part and stuff. And you HAVE GOT TO THINK WHAT YOU SAID: "I don't want to hear BiB for the trillonth time" Man! You are lucky enough to watch AC/DC 3 million times! They give 60+ shows in every tour there, so you must be pretty tired of watching them, right? I'd love to see them again, but they won't come here. @flickofthethunderdeeds You think I want to listen to the same songs every night? Well, of course not! I'd love to hear them playing Two's Up, or Breaking the Rules, Can't Stand Still, Love Hungry Man, Landslide, Nick Of Time, Shot Of Love....yet I can only hope to see them once!
bouderbala: That's where we differ; you see a possible last tour as an excuse to play the hits and I see it as an excuse to play every never before played song. Patrick Ronacher: You realize the SUL tour lasted roughly 1 year? You realize this tour is twice as long but has had 1/2 as much setlist variation? Even if they change it up for Japan, you must admit it has been an unusually stagnant setlist for their longest tour EVER.
@suicidehummer: I do realize that the SUL tour wasn´t as long as the BI Tour. It said it, because the BI Tour hasn´t ended yet.
matirocker: LOL so you think we're asking them to just play whatever song comes into their heads while onstage? NO! We're saying they need to get off their asses and rehearse some different songs (obviously telling the lighting guys what they're going to play so they can prepare). Why the fuck would they go out there and just play any song they felt like? It would be a mess. That's not at all what we were saying and if you couldn't figure that out, you're dumber than I thought. LOL dude I've seen them twice. You know what I meant. Look at anyone's bootleg collection on this site and you'll see BIB in every bootleg. We've all heard it before, even you countries where they barely stop have the internet and can listen to BIB from 1980-2010 on YouTube. There are tons of live BIB vids you're not hearing anything different on the BI tour.
Well , what can I said? They just don't want to do it. You are talking to me as if it was my fault. And what's your problem with Back In Black? I can hear it every day and don't get tired of it. Besides, it's their biggest hit, and not just die-hard fans like us go to their shows, you know, and they want to hear the classics.
No I'm talking to you as if you think it's impossible to change the setlist once they've decided on it. I have no problem with the classics, maybe a better example would be Shot Down In Flames. We've all heard it before, they've done it live on the past two tours, we have several pro shot recordings of it, but it's not really a hit. None of the fairweather fans came to hear SDIF, they probably don't even know it. On the other hand, us hardcore fans would much rather hear something obscure. So who is that song aimed at?
Shot Down In Flames is an amazing song, IMO, it has a lot of power. And I guess we don't have a song aimed for us, you know? But in the Buenos Aires shows, most peope hardly knowed Dog Eat Dog, for example.
Yeah that's another example; none of the fairweather fans knew it so they could care less, and we would all much rather hear something obscure, so who is that song pleasing? I'm not saying DED and SDIF are bad songs, they are just unnecessary.
Dog Eat Dog, maybe, but I DO want to hear Shot Down In Flames. I love it. And I don't think they choose their songs by saying "to whom this song is aimed", I think they also choose some songs because they just like them, and I guess Shot Down In Flames and DeD are two of them
Dog eat dog.One of my favorites.Noone knew it. I started barking in the second solo, have it on video, maaaybe if you are good i can post it :)
Again, SDIF and DED are good songs and I like them as much as the next fan but wouldn't you guys rather hear something never done live before?
Matirocker, without being rude, you are a retard. I am a die hard fan and have been to over 10 shows this tour. I understand why they play the set that they play, I get it, even though I do not like it, I understand. saying that, it is not that hard to play a different song here and there. after all this is a rock n roll band not a fuickin Disney on Ice Broadway Show. OK??? your excuses are lame. I do not underrstand why this band neglects so much of their material. Why did they already forget about Stiff Upper Lip? I cannot stand people like you, sorry but thats the truth. I am sure you are a nice guy but for you to come on here and say, "shut up and stop complaining" "be glad they are touring" is ignorant. Yes, we are glad the are touring. It is just a fact that this tour could have been REMARKABLE but it seems that this tout and everything on ACDC.com are catered to the newer and casual fans, not the fans like us who were in the arenas for the BUYV tours when the critics said this band is "washed up".....ok?
matirocker, sorry if i was rude, I apologize. I just think that you totally missed the point that me, suicide hammer and other are talking about. There have been multiple chances on this tour in which they could have rehearsed some new songs. Also, with the exception of Thunder and FTATR there are not other songs from 1982 - Black Ice in the set. Why is this era neglected? That is many fans favorite era and there is some great hits that both a casual fan and die hard fan would enjoy and that is a fact. SO, I apologize for being rude but your stubbornness is really hard to understand.
THE LINT IN MY NAVEL IS BLUE TODAY AND THE WORLD IS REALLY FLAT!!!
GoZone, please understand, that I as much as you all, want for them to change their set-list. I couldn't believe that everyshow had the same set-list and that they had left out tunes like HardAs A Rock and Stiff Upper Lip. IT'S NOT MY EXCUSES!!! I was saying (writting) was Brian Johnson said! Its his excuses!! Don't talk to me as if it was MY fault! And, YES! It could've been a remarkable tour if they'd change it.
Thats better!!! changed my tee shirt and we now have......... RED LINT!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqDiNCM4UPc&feature=related
When they started the tour could they not have done "lights" and eveything else that "has to be changed" set up for the show so that they could rotate one or two songs in and out of teh setlist??.....or is that just common sense?
dressing gown time and we now have........ GREEN LINT!!!! A veritable rainbow today
Dave what did you drink mate?Gimme some! :P Currently i don't give a f#ck about this tour.If they do something with Japan-Europe setlist then maybe i would pay some attention, but right now it's something unimportant for me. But i really feel sympathy for the casual- i don't wanna have a brain(it hurts me) - my band above all, fan.He must spend hundred of $ for an 1 watt highly sophisticated deluxe, lux, Gillette amp(also buy a guitar to play the amp cuz the arseholes on Sony did not think of a mini guitar, dammit!), buy all the cd covers and spin them fast in order to see the hidden message(what,didn't you know?).Worship the 5-10 live gigs and try to find if Angus robot did something unusual on the, somewhat, rare live songs (aka push replay).Hear all the same songsx5-10 and don't complain cuz Brian will fuck him.Buy Iron Fag because it has a preview of IMan with STThrill and TNT from a gig that they played,the usual he has seen 10 times already and of course try to find a turntable to play the Iron Man LP..LP's are introduced this year by AC/DC.It's a black thing and you stick a needle and spin it and it goes ROOOAAAR,ROOOAARR. LP=Laser Purification. Also this situation will give bad dreams.Some see Angus play the latest Snoopy dog dressed as Batperman (Batman + superman) and others Malcolm announce they will do a Vegas Show playing 2 hours but only BIB,Thunder and Squealer(that would be cool!! Squealer Squealer Squealer!!!!) (i'm currently drinking Dave's "herbal" tea btw ;) )
hell im only tryin to see if we can discuss summit other than this soddin tours setlist, may as well discuss bellybutton fluff cos all the bitchin in the world aint gonna change anything
As i've said. I don't give a f#ck bout the tour nomore. But the herbal tea...Mmmm.. :P
