Brian Johnson Interview
Lonn
*really* was about) but the story about the haggis is pretty funny...

Great interview.
"Currently midway through a two-year world tour" means that it's not over in
March...

> March...
I didn't catch that. If we're lucky, perhaps there are are some summer
shows lined up for 2010 in NA.

I'm fairly sure that there are a couple of high profile gigs lined up
for the summer of 2010, there's not a Hard Rock/Metal festival that
would pass on AC/DC economy permitting (I know it's been a wet dream
for the Sweden Rock Festival for years). Headlining the Download
festival in the UK is a safe bet in my book and if so other high
profile European festivals are sure to follow. Even if they easily can
fill every seat doing their own Stadium gigs (at least in Europe)
doing festivals makes sense as a follow up to the Black Ice tour, far
less logistics for one thing. Or they might just set up an ambulating
festival of their own, AC/DC Back To Back Black. It's also the 30th
anniversary of the seminal Back In Black album, although I can't see
AC/DC pulling a popular and announcing a Back In Black Anniversary
Tour playing the album from beginning to end ... wait ... they've done
that tour for the last 29 years already ;-) Would be cool to hear
"Shake A Leg" and "Given The Dog a Bone" live though, well I can't see
it happening anyway. All the same they will probably promote the event
in some way or form, maybe with a remastered-remaster-super-duper-mega-
limited-edition Back In Black album packaged in black marble making
the punters cough-up the cash for an album many have already bought at
least 3 times (my personal count is 4 ... or 5, not counting Bonfire).
Time will tell and fairly soon I'm sure.
And I was hoping they'd finish up and packing it in in Perth, there
was a nice symbolism to it ...

I'd actually welcome a BiB "deluxe edition", and I wish ac/dc were into
those sort of packages - because every other artist seems to do it. And by
deluxe edition, I mean proper archival stuff with demos, out-takes,
alternate takes etc.

Yep, I'd be one of the punters "coughing up" as well. What if Malcolm
would surrender the Feb.1980 rehearsal tapes with Bon on drums, that'd
be something. Out-takes?, possibly. Demos, as they wrote it in studio
we're zip on that. Alternate takes, yes please they are bound to be
interesting as Mutt wanted something completely different and the
battle for control was won by Mal. Brian's audition was recorded, I'd
love to hear that!
