AC/DC superfan Slash is pleased to hear that the band is coming together to make new music.
Earlier this year, Brian Johnson confirmed that a new album is in the works and that he will be providing the vocals. This is great news for all AC/DC but Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Slash seems to be the most excited about the news.
Speaking with Consequence of Sound, he said: “Where do I start? AC/DC is bar none, with the exception of the [Rolling] Stones, the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band ever. The Stones will always come first for me and then AC/DC. There are no other bands that actually play that brand of really ’50s-influenced straight-up rock ‘n’ roll like AC/DC. I love them for that.
“I think Phil Rudd is one of the best drummers of all time. So anytime he was not in the band, I was always disappointed. But it’s great that Cliff [Williams is] going to be back because I remember being backstage with those guys at the end of the last tour and him saying that he was gone and that he was retired. So it’s great that everybody’s back, but it’s especially awesome that Brian [Johnson] is back.”
There is currently no release date for the new AC/DC album but watch this space.
