If Australia is in the fall, then North America/Europe will be spring/summer! Looking forward to a Vancouver announcement!

Yep, I’d love to see this in Rogers, I saw them in 8,500 & 13,000 indoor arenas 3 times and they are killer indoor. Realistically BC place will generate the revenue, AC DC are one of those bands who can still pretty much fill a stadium on name alone.
It would Be great if Phil Rudd is back, he’s the best Ac Dc drummer for me. He gives the thing a bit of groove and bounce that Chris Slade doesn’t. Stevie Young didn’t sound great last time in Vancouver to my ears. Malcom was a tight tight rhythm player, songs like let there be Rock worked so well because of his tight rhythm. Stevie seemed a little sloppy to my ears.
But, sound can be flakey from area to area in a big arena like BC place. I was on the floor last time and the sound was better when I saw them in BC place up in the rafters at the very far end from the stage on the black ice tour.
I’ll take sound over seat anyday.
FYI: Buy your merch off the website, I’ve never seen merch quests like at an AC DC gig....

Great news. Nevertheless Malcolm is no longer with us. Hopefully he had a bunch of riffs and songs stashed somewhere so Angus and co. could use them. He really knew how to make songs with catchy riffs. And it's marvelous if Johnson, Rudd and Williams are all back. Rudd's drumming is just perfect for AC/DC. Hopefully this new album will be good. I think their last good album was Ballbreaker (1995) and after that it's more or less average.
Hey Paddy, what were the smaller venues you saw them in? I've seen them in Vancouver: 1983 Coliseum, 88 BC Place, 91 3 times at the Coliseum, 96 GM Place, 08 BC Place, 15 BC Place. Very echoey sitting upper bowl in BC Place.[/quote]Quote

I thought it was quite good. I had low expectations with Malcolm being absent, but was pleasantly surprised. As you said: short and sweet and rocking.Quote

I might be in the minority here but I really liked ROCK OR BUST. Short, sweet and to the point. I saw them for the first time in New Jersey back in 2015 and is by far the loudest concert I've ever been to. LOVED IT!! Can't wait for the new album!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine the Stones opening for AC/DC in a stadium tour?

I think Black Ice had some better moments overall than Rock Or Bust, but was larded up with too much filler. An AC/DC album should never have 15 songs.

I purely remember that AC/DC Stole the show at Toronto 2003.

I didn't mind Black Ice and Rock or Bust. Liked them better than Ballbreaker or Stiff Upper Lip.
