Seriously, we can proud ourselves to be Stones fans. I mean, ok AC/DC got some good songs and I confess I like them. Perhaps it was also the people around me, but the combination was just horrid. Same riff for 2 hours, interrupted by mediocre noodling on the guitar and stupid screaming vocals.

Well I do hope that nothing will ruin the show for me.I heard so many great things about the current tour.I also like the new record even if I can't listen to it in one sitting.As long as I hear Back in Black and Shot down in flames I will be satisfied.

NEWS FLASH!!!
- AC/DC hardly ever change their setlists
- AC/DC are by far one of the loudest bands on the planet.
Both of these facts have been known FOR DECADES.
I really don´t get why people keep complaining about this when it really shouldn´t be a surprise to anyone unless you´ve been living under a rock for the last 30 years.
If you don´t like it then don´t go to their gigs, it´s really simple.

I shouldn't have opened this board today or tomorrow .
I'm gonna go to see them tomorrow and during past few days I got a sneaking suspicion that something will go wrong. Lorenz's first post reminded me of some possible problems and I will take good care of neighbourhood.
Talking about songs, I wouldn't agree that the same riff goes over and over again, especially songs from classic period with Bon Scott. The problem may be the way they play them these days.
One more thing: Is that really soooooo loud? I survived Motorhead twice but I am kind of worried whether this is so unbearable that it spoils the fun. I got tickets for the area 20-50 meters from stage and I suppose there will be the best and loudest sound.
BTW, this ElectroVoice PA was built in 1997 for Bridges to Babylon tour.

Maybe you got the same problem as myself - I definitely don't like Brian Johnson. He can't sing his own songs properly, let alone Bon's classics. He sounds like he suffers obstipation and that stance with half-bended knees and one arm in the air ready to trigger flushing after main job is done.

yeah, yeah, I know - another OT.
But I'm just so disappointed. Went to the stadium early, was amongst the first few 100 to run in. Lived through heat and Claudia Cane as opening band - The Answer was ok. Aggressive mood all around, have never seen so many losers and trailerpark idiots at one place. AC/DC was @#$%& loud and played the same riff for 2 hours. I could have killed Angus for noodling around on his guitar for ages...Guy starts pissing on the people in front of him, gets beaten up. Other guy thinks he must start a riot and jump on little girls, beats up an old man, security does nothing. Stupid idiots trying to get more up front and piss everyone off. Background music is War Machine. Now i'm deaf, tired and disappointed.
