    The activity is vague, I'd imagine new music?

    Looks like Airbourne's Joel O'Keefe knew something was going on with AC/DC after all. Seeing as he posted the leaked screenshots on Instagram 10 days ago.

    We Have Ways of Making You Talk podcast has a 2 part interview with Brian Johnson. Barely a mention of AC/DC, it's about military history, and he talks about his parents, his dads time in the army, how his parents met etc.
    Never knew his mother was Italian.
    Interesting listen, and didn't know Johnson was in the territorial army, parachute regiment.
    You can find it on apple or avast etc, wherever you like looking...

    The teaser sounds like real meat and potatoes stuff . Hopefully that was a snippet of a 2nd tier filler tune and they're holding back on the better stuff. If that's a song they intend to lead with, then the album would be pretty meh.

    They haven't released a classic albumin 40 years. I don't think anyone is expecting one. Itll be like the last album. Couple of decent new tune leading to (hopefully) a tour.

    And hopefully not in the 3 Arena. Sound was pants the last time. What a diabolical venue.

    If they tour and they come to Ireland, there's only one place that they'll be playing. Slane.

    I wouldn't say they should be forgotten, but they shouldn't be hung over his head either. He'd got himself into a bad state, but in fairness to him he also managed to pull himself out of it, too.

    The band made the right call in 2014 to sack him. Bringing him on the road would have made the Rock or Bust tour even more disastrous than it was, in my opinion, but the arrest and his sacking from the band was, I'd say, a bucket of cold water to snap him out of his downward spiral and get back to being someone the band could play with. He's achieved that, so fair play.

    Name another drummer who has rang a compatriot and offered the compatriot a large sum of money to kill a worker or former worker. Just because the drummers album wasn't as successful as he/she thought it would be?

    Very rock and roll that.

    Keith Moon killed his bodyguard. Jim Gordon killed his mum. Hugh Whittaker from the Housemartins attacked someone with an axe and set fire to their house.

    All part of a days work for a rock drummer.

    It'll sound like AC/DC. There won't be any surprises. It's like a paint-by-numbers at this stage...and I'll still buy the album when it comes out!

    Was anyone expecting them to come out with an operatic prog metal concept album?

    People sneer at bands who stick to a set formula their entire career and whinge if they do something completely different, one of those situations where you can't win, after all the drama surrounding ROB I'm delighted to get another album out of them, don't think anyone is deluded enough to think it'll be anywhere near their 77-80 heyday, but it's something to look forward to, if it's on the same level as SUL/BI then I'd be happy with that.

    Here's the full song, I would say those teaser clips ruined it, would have prefered to hear the full thing without them, it does sound a bit like Play Ball, and the solo bit is taken from Dog Eat Dog, looking at the tracklisting, Demon's Spell, No Man's Land and Through the Mists of Time look more like Iron Maiden song titles, no 'Rock' or 'Rock n Roll' in the song titles this time.
