Malcolm Young Returns:

[Inspector #20]

Cash grab? I don't know. If there is one thing Angus doesn't need, I guess it's more money. Of course I don't know his real reasons for releasing this album, but I'm pretty damn sure I would have done the same thing if I were in his situation. Angus and Malcolm played together in AC/DC from 1973 to 2014, that's 41 years, and they were tight. I bet Angus wants to hear the songs he created with his brother get finished in honor of Malcolm more than anything.

Will the album be great? Well, I guess it probably will be on par with "Stiff upper Lip", "Ballbreaker" or "Rock or Bust". Not one of the classic must-have Acca Dacca albums, but solid rock 'n' roll. I doubt I'll buy it (I don't have any of their albums post "Who Made Who" but everything before it for some reason), but maybe I have to now...

I dug all their albums for one reason or another...

I have the T shirt!
But only the ones with Bon on, though I really dig Back in Black.
Some of the others too, just not nearly as much.

I really doubt there is much new there, but if Malcolm wrote some catchy riffs, I want to hear them.
I want do a listen through on the post Bon stuff I have never heard, trolling for rhythms and riffs to learn.

AC/DC is in the studio in Canada. Rumor has it, the new recordings will include Malcolm Young playing rhythm guitar on ALL TRACKS!

Turns out, five years prior to the Black Ice LP, - AC/DC’s 15th studio release - Angus and Malcolm Young lived together where they literally wrote hundreds of songs, many were recorded and have been stashed away until now.

Angus has decided to select the best tracks from those recordings that Malcolm played on and is now back in the studio recording and mixing them with fellow band mates Phil Rudd, Cliff Williams and yes, Brian Johnson on vocals...

That's pretty cool, no doubt it will be a success.

The rumour is they are all complete songs Angus and Malcolm wrote and recorded, but never released, so there is complete collaboration in these tunes...

Interesting, very interesting indeed...
