AC/DC: New Album Coming In January?

According to a posting on the AC/DC fan site AC/DC Highway to Hell, it is rumored that AC/DC have completed editing video footage for a brand new double DVD set to be released September, which will contain one Bon Scott DVD and one Brian Johnson DVD of AC/DC live in concert. The band has also supposedly completed a new album which is scheduled for release January 2008, with a world tour to follow.

Back in December 2006, Albert Music boss Fifa Riccobono shot down reports that AC/DC had a new record titled "Strap It On" coming in 2007.

"I ran that past Mal (Young) some time ago and he said it was the first he'd heard of it, so I guess the answer no," she told Undercover News. "Also, there definitely is no release date scheduled as the album hasn't been recorded yet."

AC/DC leaders Malcolm and Angus Young have been writing material for a few years. In early 2005, singer Brian Johnson told Launch there was a lot of stuff to work with. "I think, and I might be speaking out of turn, but I think they're doing a double, with the amount of songs I've been over a couple of times with the boys and added ideas on 46 tunes we had, and they've been working since then!" he said.

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

[RSOB Bass]

46 tunes? Sweet!

[odd_cause]

46 songs that sound pretty much the same? a double album would be pretty dull. and i like acdc

[gtferet_41]

ac/dc is gonna do it. no way will they pull a st. anger this is gonna rock our faces off.

[Vermintide]

Hells Yeah!!!

And a world tour! I am going to see that if it costs me my left nut. It's probably the last chance we'll get to see these legends too, methinks...

[Draken]

Wow double the boring.

[eurodude]

AC/DC are awesome!! I'd love to see them live!

[perilouspete]

their last good one was razor's edge, so i'm not expecting a lot but it would be awesome to have another great album from them. i don't know how much brian's voice can really handle these days though.

[Shabalaba]

It could go either way, good or bad but i would deffo go see them if they did a world tour, cos they have done some amazingly good songs

[sgmetalhead]

theyre gonna be way different since brians voice has slowly changed since Back In Black came out in 1980. should be interesting

[fuzzle3]

hmmm, well last time i had heard which was prob November time i guess, they hadn't even gone into the studio. I aint holding no breath though. its been like 3 or 4 years since the first mention of a new album. Probably gonna turn into something like the Chinese Democracy album :P 10 years in the waiting. lol

[Bille joe6]

YEEES!

[guitaringsailor]

AC/DC, they always deliever the goods.

["Tele" Steve]

Pretty cool, although Brian's voice kind of sounds like a kazoo nowadays.

[dgme92]

No way. Razor's Edge was boring as ****, save 5 or 6 songs. Stiff Upper Lip was amazing, best AC/DC album since Flick Of The Switch

[Ninja Bassist]

i think brian johnson is my dad...my mom slept around

[thejester]

definately looking forward to it. this, as far as i know, is there last record that they have to fulfill on their current contract. cant wait though for this and the dvd. sounds like the dvd they are taking about is family jewels which was released already but maybe this is different

[tomisamonkeyman]

yes finally, i would love to see them live. Also it better be double album since its taken 8 years to get a new one out.

[i_am_metalhead]

Ac/Dc has been in hiding for so long because Angus had to learn a new chord - this new album will contain a total of 4 chords as opposed to their previous albums which only contained 3 chords!

[Cied Shredder]

Mmm no thanks. The bajillion albums were the same thing in a different order..What makes this different?

[Waterboy799]

that'd be way cool, some nice bluesy hard rock. can't wait

[angusramone]

wiiiii!
Hope they come to Argentina.

Let there be rock

haha you gotta admit though, those 3 chords kept them going for 30+ years and always made great music.

[OrganGrinder]

They're too old. They should have quit at their prime. The new stuff is shit, this will be too.

[Blash]

AC/DC's the best, God I can't wait (specially for the tour)

[highvoltage2739]

they didnt let us down with ballbreaker or S.U.P. this one should be good and i would kill for a ticket to a show

[Brandon860]

Rumors, rumors, stop the torture! Let us know it's true blue Lord, let it be true!

[gibson101]

I AM GOING TO SEE THEM LIVE NO MATTER WHAT!!!

[ZEppelin1969]

o man this is gonna be the shizzzzz

[GeekStinkBreath]

Why exactly do they need to make another album? Just make a CD of one song off Back In Black over and over and burn it to a CD. It'll sound exactly the same, and be cheaper.

[TMFSG]

i'm gonna see them live if i have to walk and hitch-hike there

[zackk]

well, i cant wait to see whats going to happen. i dont really think brians voice is going to be that good but oh well. i never thought he really matched up to bon scott. and i dont know exactly how they'll be live considering how old they are and how much less of a show it will probably be. i seriously doubt angus will be his usual self

[Stop Messin']

Really? how about telling us what "new" AC/DC songs you've heard in the last 8 years that are shit?

[bushey37]

46 tunes or one tune played 46 times?

[FretboardToAsh]

I can't wait, this is one of the very few bands i still have fait in after this entire fiasco of 80% of the bands

[guitarNbass]

can't wait

[JimPrenier_11]

I hope it's true, that'd be friggin awesome!

[Burpin'Worm]

Che/cked

[JakeBanman]

don't count Brian's voive out ppl, he hasn't used it much in quite a few years, he'll syill have the power he needs to get the job done. Not like Axl Rose who is totaly shot, but GNR is pretty sweet, except the new guys. But none the less, I look forward to it! AC/DC DOMINATION!! lol

[Kevin97220]

wow...these guys cant be stopped

[guitarsmith]

That's awesome for the guys.

[TC1223]

this would be awesome. I wonder if they will stick with their traditional sound or what... should be interesting. And they will sell millions of tickets on tour.

Yeah. I occasionally hear a couple Bs :P

AC/DC are without a doubt the most ROCK band there is. Even if they are simple. Even if they are repetetive. You can't help but wanna headbang and yell your head off with them. It's music that just penetrates to your very insides.

Woah, I feel a fanboy writing this. I'm wearing an AC/DC shirt, playing an SG, listening to AC/DC, posting a comment about AC/DC...Jeez...

im worrying it'll be good but i love acdc

Old bands coming back from the grave to make another album can be nice, but i don't know about this one... Brian Johnson's voice already sounded like an old lady's, so it can't have gotten much better.

[Cassy_Lee]

Finally! I can't wait!

Hopefully on their World Tour they stop in Edmonton.

[MeGaDeth2314]

how the hell can you make 46 new songs out of the same E, A, G, D, and B chords?

[reddeath959]

AWW YEA!!! I can't wait... I hope the tour stops in texas!!

[new original]

dude stop trashing them for melting so many faces with 4 chords just because you cant do it with 20. they ****ing rock and i'll be camping out for tickets when the tour is annouced. i might cry

i cant wait to see this.. these guys r old as hell and i bet they still rock like its 1980..

[redneckrocker2]

if you think about it this could ruin them. What if the stuff they come out with gets worse? their last record was a last atempt to make the music that made them great. its justa thought. i still think they frickin rock and is one off the greatest bands ever! no fancy stuff just pure rock!

i can't wait for the world tour !!

[DaliLama]

I thought that was Dave Mustaine's face when I quick glanced at the page. New album, yeah sure, whatever, but that means a tour! And I've never seen them and never thought I could but now's the chance...

[redneckrocker2]

let it rock hell yaaaaa!!!

[dubes216]

double?? that would be badass!!!!!

[D&DLover]

yay!

[Gas Mask]

Are they really gonna call it "Strap it On"? I mean that was Helmet's first album and the title kinda fits better.

[Fender_Tele'71]

I've been waiting my whole life to go to an AC/DC concert (i'm still a teenager), and now it's time....Hell yeah baby, this is gonna be freaking sweet!!!!! I love AC/DC!!!! except i don't know how well Brian is going to be, considering he is almost 60 yrs. young..... Oh well, let's hope it rocks!!!! (which we all know it will).

[Tubyboulin]

A...C...D...C RULES, dude this album is gonna kick some serious butt, cant wait!

Really? how about telling us what "new" AC/DC songs you've heard in the last 8 years that are shit?

I haven't heard a new acdc song in the past 8 yrs.
I have however heard the same 5 old songs on the radio on a daily basis until I can honestly say I can't stand acdc. they sucked 30yrs ago. they suck today.

[Sirlancelot42]

I've been waiting for this for so long. Can't wait, even if it's the same old chords, they still work with, hell for all we know they could have gone in a completely different direction, considering there's been talk of a new album since 2004.

Anyways i'm getting tickets to this tour definitely.

[Thomaslikespigs]

stfu khalilzad, just because they're overplayed, doesn't mean they don't rock. They are one of the greatest rock bands ever.

[NathanWolff]

i like ac/dc... they're just okay.

[1llusionz]

coolies

[RipleyMKH]

Who even cares? HOw can you even enjoy that voice?

[whammy_man251]

sweet they are one of my favorite band man i am a fan

[limpdogskip]

Sweaty 60 year old men in muscle shirts and under-sized school boy clothing jumping up and down screaming out bad sexual and satanic inuendos...

If that's something you want to see live, then you need therapy. Plus AC/DC's music isn't awesome; it's cheesy and poppy at best.

[Battery Chicken]

Awesome, another carbon copy remake of their last 20 albums.

[amberpacfan]

fuel13, i'd like to see u become a rock legend off those chords...and btw, can u think up the solos angus plays? i'm pretty sure they're not all the same chords...

[Chunky_Lover]

ac/dc is over-rated. theyre alrite though

I agree 100%

[wrathchild712]

i just hope they go out with a solid album. it's no secret that this will be their last album...

[samerika]

I'm buying that album for sure.

[Andras5soul]

way overrater I'm sorry.. everything before back in black was great... the solos are great but really repetitive... some great songs though. no disrespect to acdc, i guess im just not as impressed as other ppl. (btw, just watched the Queen Wembley dvd, rented it, freddy is hands down the best vocalist and frontman ever)

[SGstriker]

FUCK YES!!!
WORLDTOUR!!!
I can't wait...this better not be a ****ing rumor.

[Thekillerbob]

As much as I love them, they're getting a tiny bit monotonous. It would be interesting to see if they could evolve a tiny bit, but also remained true to their old sound.

[Axeslayer55]

Sweet

[xXSolitaryManXx]

All of AC/DC's stuff sounds the same.

Everyone knows that.

We all just can't wait for how awesome the world tour is going to be.

that said i ****ing love AC/DC and can't wait for the live discs and the album

[GraysonBot]

Wow. The long awaited AC/DC album. They are definately the greatest rock band to ever walk the earth.

I've been waiting just over 6 years for another AC/DC album... and it's finally happening! World tour is gonna kick ass.

Long live Bon Scott.

Adda boy cerveza

AC/DC's stuff ain't all technical, but god, what do you have now and days but screamo and fall out boy? the world needs far more of that just plain ol' Rock.

[Cloud147]

better than listening to 8 versions of avril lavigne song.

[Shadowlord3]

wow i cant beleive et...ACDC is back with something new, i hope its good cuse i mean u know there not getting any younger, so im not so shure how its going to sound but i cant wait till it comes out

[jimicrakcrn]

Andd... sorry for the double post. But if the album makes history... then it is a sad sad world we live in

[Ponworxz]

Yeah!!! Going to go see them for sure!!!

[silentsound]

the ac/dc method: why use machine guns when you've got atom bombs, yes they are the same chords, but that doesn't mean its bad music, its blues influenced its not gonna be complex. music is energy, I've heard complex songs that sounded like shit because they had no energy to them, but ad/dc has managed to keep the energy in those same chords for 30 years.

I can't wait till they come through Dallas, so I can be there when they cart Angus of stage in a stretcher for emergency hip replacement surgery.

[JuicyFrets]

(wikipedia)
AC/DC have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, including more than 68 million albums in the U.S. Back in Black has sold 42 million units worldwide, including 21 million in the U.S., making it the second-highest-selling album ever internationally, and the biggest-selling album by any band. The band are ranked fourth on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.

Read that and do NOT say that AC/DC are no good because that info above me sums it up that AC/DC rock and always will hands down.

Also, i agree with jimicrakcrn.

Megadeth? Ha. Notice the similarities:

Metallica - Megadeth ( m - m)
(metallicas debut release) Kill 'em All - (megadeths debut release) Killing is my business...and business is good! ( Kill - Kill )
Ride the lighting - Peace sells but whos buying( Ing - Ing)
call of ktulu - start of hangar 18

do i see a pattern happening here???

[punkrockpirate]

I'm so not interested anymore. AC/DC wrote some classic songs, but they've sounded the same for 30-odd years. I think they should just continue to be as amazing as possible live and tour (dunno how much of that they're doing?), and focus on live material or such. I agree with someone way above, who said a double album would most likely be dull as hell.

[TheNthDimension]

They may not be any good anymore, I don't know - but I do want to see what they do. Hopefully it will be good, if so I WILL go see them...

[SlashNX]

I dont care for a new album... just the World Tour will do me!!

[The_Raven]

Yay! I don't care how bad this album is, i am buying it! And a world tour! Great, i hope the album is in the same style as Stiff Upper Lip, I love that bluesy dicrection.

[sheppo]

i heard a rumour that AC/DC wants to do a big tour of Australia next year.... good thing i live in the city that Bon Scott is buried in

[Good-Apollo]

Wow, a world tour that's awesome news!

[Dr. No]

46 tunes that sound the same..

yay..

[Mask_Of_Sanity]

Good news for Alternating Current/Direct Current fans, I guess...I don't really like them, so I won't be checking it out. Ah well.
-anDy

[hockeygoalie90]

Don't forget dudes that AC/DC never gave a f**k about what other people think. They just play their music damn it, good 'ol rock 'n' roll. If you don't like AC/DC, why the hell are you posting a comment on an AC/DC review ?

[RockDragon]

So AC/DC songs are simple. I'd much rather listen to Walk All Over You, Touch Too Much, Back In Black, Whole Lotta Rosie, any AC/DC song in fact than some balls like Trivium or Machine Head.

'AC/DC music is cheesey' - They've been tongue in cheek since day one. The cheeky 'nudge nudge, wink wink' attitude (especially in the Bon Scott era) is all part of their appeal. AC/DC are a band that you can have a laugh and a joke with, yet still rock the hell out while listening to them.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Brain Johnson stuff, save the Back In Black album and a couple of other tracks (e.g. Thunderstruck) but I'm looking forward to this album anyways. Hopefully they'll go back to being pure raw rock and roll (I felt their sound had a slight glam edge recently - very slight mind, but still a recognisable difference from earlier DC.)
The new album isn't going to be a double. UG posted the story where Brain said that, then posted one a couple of days later with him retracting that comment. The guy was merely joking about how much material they've got to work with. Apparentlythe label were panicking 'double album, where's this coem from?' lol.

And in all fairness - the album could be crap. I'll still be going to see them, because they'll still play the crowd favourites and it will be a hell of a show, even if they're all drinking prune juice onstage :P.

Lastly (rant's nearly over, promise) why the hell are people arguing about Megadeth and Metallica on an AC/DC post? Sweet Jesus. They both have their appeal, personally, I prefer Megadeth but good god, stay on topic ffs.

[zerodeck]

to me AC/DC rocked, rocks and will rock, they have the best live shows, the best rock 'n roll songs (cut the crap about all songs being similar, to me every one has it's own different touch, it's just their style). I'll by the album for certain (knowing that I only by albums from Nirvana and AC/DC, the rest I just download

[Burpin'Worm]

Check

[xredsamx]

AC/DC should call it a day, as should Ozzy, Priest, Maiden, etc.

They were great bands, but it's time to throw in the towel.

um...wasnt maidens newest album giant success? yup thought so...

[Sleez Boy]

Finally, cannot wait! AC/DC! Their new album is gonna be great and huge! I'm definately buying their album on their first day it is released.
Call me a loser or moron, but I wanna also see their new album hit #1 on the Billboard Charts, why? I don't know (just like For Those About To Rock), but hopefully it changes the way rock is being played and viewed!
Hey AC/DC, if you're reading this... COME TO BAKERSFIELD, CA!!! We need HIGH VOLTAGE!!!
By the way I thought Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip were great albums too! And hey I like St. Anger!

[Sleez Boy]

Hey Kikuta!

Hell no! I think if Ozzy, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Slayer, and Metallica should continue, if they still want to play and make new albums.

Who do you expect to keep playing rock in the coming years? Fall Out Boy? The Used? MCR? All American Rejects? Hell no!

Can't wait for AC/DC new album! RIP Bon Scott!

[bfg1024]

To the haters: If it weren't for AC/DC, a lot of your s***y emo bands wouldn't be around.

[AaROn!]

hell yeah!! must see!

[Jopa_92]

Can't wait for the new album also! 46 songs? Wow!

[JohntyPython434]

:O AC/DC? new album? WORLD TOUR?! my life is now complete.

scratch that. it'll be complete after i buy the album and see them in concert. COME TO PHILADELPHIA!!

[scarfacesuit]

i'd love to see these guys in Atlanta.
i would also buy their album in a heartbeat.

great band =D

[khorsand]

for all you who think brian johnson has no voice left, don't worry because he got liquids removed from his throat. just listen 2 him on tour in 2003, and then him and cliff williams playing back in black for charity in 2005. he sounds jsut like old times now

[nachos73]

I can't wait for the new album! I think it will kick ass!! No doubt about it. Yeah this maybe there last gig or maybe not...either way I won't miss it for the world. So tell me how can the world's greatest band suck, as some of you so eloquently put it yet still manage to gain legions of fans year after year? I can't get enough of their music, I never get tired of hearing them on the radio. I may not be a musician, but a few of my friends are,and the first band they introduced to me was AC/DC,and I haven't looked back since! Hell when they are not on the radio I have one of the cd's cranked my car and I'm rocking along with them! Life doesn't get much better than that! When they tour I'll be at their show bangin' my head and pounding my fist in the air!!

[A True Rocker]

Too all you AC/DC bashers, Ill tell ya. Most of you are probably 20years &younger & dont know shit about Rock n Roll. Those boys have nothin to prove ! Theyve already proved it time & time again!!! Bon was an icon may he RIP. But Brian has gave his heart & soul to that band for the better part of 27years. so back off! Angus knows those scales up & down & riffs like no one & Malcom , Cliff , & Phil Rock like they have a purpose everytime! Bottom line!!! AC/DC plays Rock n Roll theyway it was ment to be played! & THEY ALWAYS DELIVER! So I say.....LET THERE BE ROCK ! & GOD BLESS THE FIVE OF THEM FOR IT! Get it on boys & make it happen! Again. There integrity has & always will stand the test of time.

[A True Rocker]

What are you ****in high??? Ballbreaker & Stiff upper lip are way better than Razers edge. shit Im glad Phil Rudd is back with the band! I hope they try & shoot for a better cd than Back in Black . Go for it! The hell with the skeptics!

[A True Rocker]

Its funny how that band blows these new kid band s off the ****in stage live like it was nothin . Just goes to show true Rockers cant be beat. Ive seen them live . So what if theyer old! They will laugh all the way to the bank at the very least! what are u ****s doin with your life??? Malcom had a dream & made it happen. to hell with all you bashers!

[SGof79]

A True Rocker:

I am 17 and could not agree with you more. Half the kids my age dont know sh** for music. I was turned on to AC/DC music when I was 13 and have come to be a hardcore fan. It just baffles me as to what my peers see in modern rock. So-called "rock fans" who dislike AC/DC dont know good rock when it whacks them in the balls! It's hard to explain what AC/DC does that sets them apart, but I have a hard time ever finding anything else that compares. As others have said, yes they are simple, but what's wrong with that? I'd rather know I'm gonna get what I like than hear some weird experimental crap. If it aint broke, dont fix it. Above all, I challenge someone to come up with a band with a more badass tone. Modern rock tone just doesn't do it for me. Too harsh, distorted, and artificial. Just give me that glistening growl of a cranked EL-34, and I will enter my nirvana.

Look forward to the album, and will do anything to make it to that show. Could be the chance of a lifetime to see them live (for somebody my age)

Lets be optimistic and let AC/DC do what they have always done well.

To all the haters: COEXIST Ever hear that word? We'll listen to our sh**, you listen to yours.

Peace out, and Long Live AC/DC!

And a world tour! I am going to see that if it costs me my left nut. It's probably the last chance we'll get to see these legends too, methinks...

i agree, they won't be around forever. angus is already 53. well that's not too old, jimmy npage is 63, i think. anyway, the new album will rock and seeing them live will complete me. AC/DC!!

If that's something you want to see live, then you need therapy. Plus AC/DC's music isn't awesome; it's cheesy and poppy at best.

If you don't like them don't f***ing post. Oh, and I agree with dc-boy, they're like the Stones, they'll never die!!!

I am 32 now and started listening to ACDC when Who Made Who was released. I was 12yrs old at the time and I needed to find some good shit to listen to. I heard this album once and was hooked instantly. I see ACDC are copping plenty of shit re their repetitiveness and limited amount of chords, which I cant argue against because there is truth in that. What does bug me is people saying that EVERY song sounds the same. Again, there is an element of truth in that when you compare the mainstream hits that are played and repeated on the radio such as Thunderstruck, Back in Black, Highway to Hell, Dirty Deeds, Who made Who, Are you Ready, For those about to Rock, The Jack, TNT, Hells bells, Heatseeker etc etc. Go right back to High Voltage and onwards and listen to the songs that AREN'T mainstream hits ie shes got balls, rock n roll singer, little lover, Riff Raff, Go Down, Aint no Fun, Rock in Peace, Theres gonna be some Rocking, Walk all over you, Rock n roll damnation, Sin City, Hell aint a bad place to be, Get it hot, Overdose, Touch too much, Down payment blues, Problem child, Jailbreak, giving the dog a bone, let me put my love into you, shoot to thrill, this means war, etc etc. Thats the real ACDC. Went to the Razors edge concert in 91 in Auckland and it is still one of the best ive ever seen, amongst other concerts like GnR, Metallica, System of a down, Rage against the machine for example. Would not hesitate and move heaven and earth to see them live again. Amazing stage show along with a good mix of new and old tracks. Still have a Moneytalks Dollar Bill lying around somewhere too lol. Bring it on lads and I hope its not just rumours.
