Finally, AC/DC heading back in the studio
Yeah, sure it is another rumour but apparently it is from bassist Cliff Williams himself. The lads are hitting the studio next month!
It has been eight years since their last studio album and almost 5 years since their last gig. Apparently, during the break Angus has developed a passion for the Moog synthesizer and Malcolm really got into writing madrigals. So expect some new directions.
Just kidding. It will be bass, drums, two guitars and screaming vocals. Anything else just would not be AC/DC. And that would be a crime against the natural order of things.

Don Coleman, Canada’s Premiere AC/DC Vocalist has recorded a song to celebrate the life and spirit of Bon Scott former frontman for AC/DC. The song “Women, Whiskey & Rock’n'Roll” has been airing daily in Australia on the Rebel FM Network (40 stations is Queensland / NSW ) plus two stations near Fremantle, Western Australia where there is a concert to unveil a statue of Bon Scott this week - PERTH 107.3 FM and 89.7 FM on weekly shows. Each day there are more Australian, Canadian and American FM Stations coming onboard to air the song.
Last week the song launched on WRUW FM 91.1 in Cleveland, Ohio ( home of the R&R Hall of Fame) complete with an on air interview with Don Coleman, on a show dedicated to the memory of Bon Scott. Also on the show where Susan Masino, published author of “Let There Be Rock” a book on Bon and AC/DC, and President of the Bon Scott Fan Club, Doug Thorncroft, who both love the song. MP3 audio clips are available from the show on request. The song will be airing this coming w/e on the Newcap FM Network on K-Rock 105.5 in Charlottetown, PEI, along with an interview with Don, as well as FM Stations in St. John , NB and Moncton, NB, Canada.
Other notable reviews came from Vince Lovegrove ( former bandmate of Bon’s in the “Valentines”), Aussie Legend - Kevin Borich, “Angels” drummer Buzz Bidstrup who will be performing at the Fremantle concert to unveil the statue, in their re-formed band the “Party Boys”. They all think the song is a ‘ripper’ (Aussie slang for fantastic). This week I received a request for the song from longtime friend of Bon and longtime bassist for Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Daisley who thinks Don did a great job on the song.
Don has been receiving many offers from : England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the USA, to front many bands and to tour. One such offer came from the original frontman for AC/DC, Dave Evans who will also be performing in Fremantle.
