NEW ALBUM OCTOBER 30
THE
ALBUM
Malcolm:
We
have 18 songs among which there are 3 classics. The new album will
certainly contain 12 songs, the other ones should be released as bonus tracks on
maxi singles or should never be released. Only the best ones will be released.
A TITLE
Malcolm:No
title or picture cover, we sort out these details in the last few days.
Geoff
Banks (Malcolm and Angus rodie):
There are many great songs in this album, for me AC/DC is the greatest band in
the world.
RECORDING
Brian:
I sing with an HF microphone and without hearphones to feel the music better.
Angus: Brian's voice is very powerful and solid.
RUMORS
What
about the rumor concerning a tumor ?
Brian: False, the only operation during the last years was a filling on a
teeth.
DEMOS
Malcolm:
The songs were written in Holland, in Australia and in my homestudio in London.
Angus played drums and I tried new riffs on guitar, Angus is a great drummer.
RELEASE DATE
Malcolm:
The album will be ready on November but we will release it on January or Febuary
2000 because on November / December 1999, the TVs, the radios will only talk
about the new century, and it's hard to promote and album during this period.
The
record company wanted to release the new album before Christmass but the band
prefer to wait a little more THE
OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE IS JANUARY 15.
ALL THE RUMOURS ARE FALSE OCTOBER 3
The
latest issue of the French magazine "HARD ROCK" reports that all the rumours on
the internet are
false.
The director of the magazine "Philippe Lageat" recently met the band
in Vancouver, Canada, but he doesn't want to say anything about the
new album right now.
Everything will be revealed in next months
issue of "HARD ROCK".
Thanks Cyril, RISING POWER
NO NEW ALBUM UNTIL NEXT YEAR October 3
AC/DC's camp is keeping the usual tight-lid on the details surrounding the band's forthcoming album, their first since 1995's Ballbreaker, but this much we know: Although slated for a late November release on eastwest/Elektra, the album will likely not see stores until early 2000, according to a spokesperson for the band at Elektra. The CD remains untitled at press time.
