Songs Never Played Live
...by Brian: I've compiled a list of songs that Brian has never performed live, and wanted to see how you guys think he would do if he did perform a few of these: It's a Long Way to the Top Rock 'n' Roll Singer Can I Sit Next to You Girl Little Lover Love at First Feel Big Balls* There's Gonna Be Some Rockin' Ain't No Fun Squealer* Overdose Gimme a Bullet Kicked in the Teeth Walk All Over You Touch Too Much* Beating Around the Bush Love Hungry Man Night Prowler Let Me Put My Love Into You Snowballed Evil Walks Breaking the Rules Night of the Long Knives Spellbound* Deep in the Hole Brain Shake You Ain't Got a Hold on Me Show Business Soul Stripper Baby Please Don't Go Stand Up Hell or High Water Back in Business Send for the Man D.T. Chase the Ace Meanstreak Kissin' Dynamite Some Sin for Nuthin' Ruff Stuff* Two's Up* This Means War Mistress for Christmas Rock Your Heart Out Got You By the Balls Shot of Love Let's Make It Goodbye to Bad Luck If You Dare The Furor Honey Roll Burnin' Alive* Love Bomb Caught with Your Pants Down Whiskey on the Rocks House of Jazz Hold Me Back Can't Stand Still Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll Damned* Come and Get It* All Screwed Up Give it Up* Skies on Fire* Smash N' Grab Spoilin' for a Fight Wheels Decibel Stormy May Day* She Likes Rock 'n' Roll Money Made Rock 'n' Roll Dream Rocking all the Way* *Songs that I think Brian would perform exceptionally well.
Dang that's a pretty long list (why am I not surprised...) That would be awesome if they played Rocking All The Way instead of Black Ice. It's one of my favorites on the new album.
Ye,ok but what exactly he should sing in D.T. and Chase the Ace?
I wished they had played Shot of Love during the Razors Edge Tour, it is such a good song, during December 1990 Mistress for Christmas could had been added.
@sapator: He would whistle and/or hum, and possibly do some James Hetfield-esque "Yeah!" chants. @crispyvenom: I am skeptical of the Ballbreaker rehearsals. Some of the songs they "rehearsed" seem too good to be true.
Yeah, but look at what they ended up playing. none of those seemed likley.
What is that, 50-60% of their catalog? And they call themselves an "album band"? Why on earth would we buy their albums when they don't even deem them worthy for a live showing?
That does not mean that the songs are not awesome(at least before Black Ice). About the album band thing.My memory is cloudy but i remember we had an argument.Do you recall when they said they are an album band?I'm not questioning you, i just can't remember the exact time someone from the band said it.
Didnt Bon say it in his interview on plug me in? But he was talking about writing songs not what they played lived. Anyways, acdc has always played most of the album on their tours(except BUYV and SUL tours).
I thought they were an album band and thats why they don't have their songs available online (itunes etc) becasue people would only buy their singles and "we're and album band".....something like that I think
I would love to hear Touch Too Much by him. That would give me goose bumps.
I wish AC/DC was like Iron Maiden; in 2004 they released their "Early Days" DVD and did a whole tour playing early songs they hadn't played since the early '80s. Then on the tour for their latest album in 2006, they played the whole album live. Some fans criticized that they didn't play any classics on that tour, so they did the "Somewhere Back in Time" tour in 2008, where they played 1982-'88 era songs and released a DVD of that tour as well as the documentary "Flight 666" in 2009, and now they're recording their next album (they release an album just about every 2-3 years). Compare that to AC/DC releasing their first album in 8 years and playing only a few songs off it. Ugh. That's why I've been getting more into maiden lately, they're just better to their fans.
I'm sick of everyone moaning about the new album/tour. You guys should be grateful that there is a new album and tour. I'm sure that between 2004 & 2008 you were begging for them to come back, and now that they have come back, it's not good enough?
Personally i was saying that i don't give a fk about a new album i just want them to tour.
...and I'm sick of you assholes telling us to stop complaining that our favorite band sold out. Be grateful that there's a new album/tour? Why? None of the songs off the album are halfway decent and the tour brings absolutely NOTHING new to the table so why the fuck should we be grateful that they put the absolute least effort possible into this yet have squeezed every possible dime out of us with shitty boxsets, greatest hits, and different album covers? I honestly would have been happier if they didn't put out this album.
So, you would rather that they broke-up instead of touring and releasing new albums? That's just.....Wow.... "squeezed every possible dime out of us with shitty boxsets, greatest hits, and different album covers?" - I may have missed something but I don't remember them releasing a "Greatest Hits" album. If you're talking about Iron Man, It's pretty obvious that it's not for hardcore fans. They are just trying to get younger people to like them which I think is a good thing. And with the boxset, doesn't it make sense for them to release stuff that they haven't released on CD before and the music videos they haven't released before? I bet you weren't complaining when they released Family Jewels. I don't really see the difference between that and the Family Jewels 3 in Backtracks. And live at the Circus Krone is like all the other live DVD's they've released, so why does this one get complaint's. Also CD 1 of Backtracks is a lot like 74' Jailbreak except with more songs, they both are made up of previously released songs, but I don't see you complaining about 74' Jailbreak. They aren't telling you that you have to buy their album or go to their concert. I'm not buying any of the Iron Man stuff. And please remember their age, I'd like to see you run around on a stage every night and give the performance that they do when you are 60.
Ok. The only person on this page that i respect now is Jailbreakes. He is the only person defending AC/DC through this. Its sad that they band that most of you have worshiped for more than half of your lives or your entire life is gonna throw them under the semi trucks that carry their stage show. They played the same setlist this entire tour, so the fuck what? people are still going to their shows, knowing that they are getting the same show someone else on the other side of the world saw. If you really want them to change the setlist, dont go to the show, let someone else who hasn't seen AC/DC yet go. As for Black Ice, if you want an album where half of the tracks are shit, listen to Stiff Upper Lip or Blow Up Your Video. All you guys have done since the album came out is bash it for having a "pop" song on it in Anything Goes. Black Ice is the best album since The Razors Edge IMO. And so what if they had filler tracks next to each other in: Wheels, Decibel, and Stormy May Day, if thats all that is wrong with this album, go to Ballbreaker where: The furor, boogie man, and the honey roll are right next to each other. Or Fly on the wall where every song after Sink The Pink sucks. And as far as what i can see, if Black Ice is a terrible album, then what is Fly On The Wall, Blow Up Your Video, and Stiff Upper Lip? And what other shitty box sets are there? If Family Jewels is terrible: youre an idiot. If Plug Me In is terrible, i would love to hear the explanation to that one in how its terrible. Backtracks is the only one that is bad because of all the re-used tracks in stuff we already have. and ill go as far back as Bonfire to see if you guys think that was a bad boxset. the only bad thing about that one is Back In Black was on it. And everyone on this website knows, that if AC/DC put out a greatest hits album, songs like: Guns For Hire, Rock N Roll Damnation, Cold Hearted Man Evil Walks, Have a Drink on me, and The Razors Edge would not be on it. If you think this is a greatest hits album, go to a mental institution right away cuz its the IRON MAN 2 SOUNDTRACK not IRON MAN 2 AC/DC GREATEST HITS PACKAGE
Ok the thing about Black Ice is that it only has 5 good songs(RnR Train, Big Jack, War Machine, Black Ice, + Anything Goes-IMO) and they put 15 on the album so you can't say it's just as bad as Fly on the Wall, which isn't at all a bad album.
Jailbreakes: Did I say that? No. Don't put words in my mouth. Iron man is a Greatest Hits in all but name. I don't care if they call it a soundtrack; it's a compilation of previously released songs intended for those who don't want to buy every album. The problem with Backtracks is that it was priced where no fairweather fan would buy it, yet it offered no actual rarities to give a hardcore fan a reason to buy it. They tried to pass them off as rarities when we all know they have tons of shit we haven't heard yet. Family Jewels did not claim to contain rarities or come with a shitty 2 watt amp nobody wants, and therein lies the difference. Circus Krone was the one good thing about Backtracks, but like SUL Live, the production sucked balls. The songs on '74 Jailbreak were unreleased worldwide at the time so you're wrong about that. Same with Dirty Deeds being released in '81 in the US. Did I say they weren't performing well for their age? No. Again, do not put words in my mouth. ruddisgod: If you think half the tracks on SUL and BUYV are shit, the furor, boogie man and the honey roll are filler, and every song after sink the pink sucks... I cannot have even the slightest thread of respect for your opinions because those are all awesome songs only a true fan would appreciate. Nevermind that you think that abortion Black Ice is good. What was wrong about Family Jewels is that some songs were dubbed; Show Business is the only one I can recall off the top of my head. Plug Me In used the same secondhand sources for the Tokyo videos we'd been using for years rather than paying to get the original videos without the subtitles and cuts. Also, Guns for Hire was dubbed as I recall. Black Ice has one, maybe two... three at the most, good songs. And that's being generous. The only songs that hold up to their old standards are Anything Goes and Rockin' All The Way.
Do you really think that they would put songs like "Cold Hearted Man" or "Evil Walks" on a greatest hits album? I doubt it. I also doubt that AC/DC or their record company had much to do with the songs that are on Iron Man, the producers of the movie probably just asked them if they could use those songs and they said yes. I don't think I've "put words in your mouth", could you show me the exact sentences that I've done that? What I said about 74' Jailbreak was that it was like CD1 of backtracks, they are both made up of previously released songs, I didn't say that they had been released world wide before - Don't YOU put words in my mouth Most of backtracks CD1 HAVN'T been released "officially" before, I think there's only two songs that have been. If it wasn't for the internet you probably wouldn't have heard most of those songs before. Did I say that you said that they weren't performing well for their age? No I didn't, again don't put words in my mouth. If you think half the tracks on Black Ice are shit... I cannot have even the slightest thread of respect for your opinions because those are all awesome songs only a true fan would appreciate. "What was wrong about Family Jewels is that some songs were dubbed; Show Business is the only one I can recall off the top of my head." "Plug Me In used the same secondhand sources for the Tokyo videos we'd been using for years rather than paying to get the original videos without the subtitles and cuts. Also, Guns for Hire was dubbed as I recall." So what, now your complaining about Family Jewels and Plug Me In? Maybe some videos needed to be dubbed because the audio was damaged or something, I'm just grateful that they were released.
Wasn't gonna get in this with you guys,but I had to reply to these parts of your statement Jailbreakes: "If you want an album where half of the tracks are shit,listen to Stiff Upper Lip or Blow Up Your Video." "Black Ice is the best album since The Razors Edge IMO,and so what if they had filler tracks next to each other in: Wheels, Decibel, and Stormy May Day, If that's all that is wrong with this album, go to Ball Breaker where: The Furor, Boogie Man, and The Honey Roll are right next to each other.Or Fly On The Wall where every song after Sink The Pink sucks.As far as what I can see,if Black Ice was a terrible album, then what were Fly On The Wall, Blow Up Your Video, and Stiff Upper Lip?" WTF? Boogie Man,The Furor,Stormy May Day,every song after Sink The Pink,half of Stiff Upper Lip,pretty much all of Blow Up Your Video since you didn't specify which tracks were "filler" Not every single song is gonna be a hit,but Boogie Man is not Filler,nor is everything after Sink The Pink. Your Punishment: Go listen to This Means War,Send For The Man,Back In Business,Playing With Girls,Sum Sin For Nuthin',Meanstreak,Hold Me Back,Satellite Blues,and All Screwed Up Still can't believe you said that... *face palm* Black Ice has some good tracks SuicideHammer,but I get what you're saying.It's not up to the normal 'DC output.It could have been better,but I like it (not my favorite by any means)
Well said Flick, but that was ruddisgod667 who said that about SUL, BUYV, and all that stuff.
Yeah, I didn't say that, don't put words in my mouth Flick ;)
Sorry, made an error in my other post, I meant "Most of backtracks CD1 HAVN'T been released "officially" WORLDWIDE before, I think there's only two songs that have been. If it wasn't for the internet you probably wouldn't have heard most of those songs before." Forgot to put the worldwide part in ;)
I posted an apology yesterday Jailbreakes it didn't post for some reason... Well,my bad sorry for putting that on you. Ruddisgod667- My statement still stands
Jesus I can't argue with this guy he's an idiot.
No, you've just run out of an argument.
