New AC/DC track rocks
September 12th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in News
AC/DC’s new single, Rock ’n’ Roll Train, is the band’s best stuff in more than a decade. It’s vintage, hard and heavy blooze with a charmingly simple lyric about the joys of R&R decadence. A potent Angus Young guitar solo kicks in right around the 2:30 mark, giving the cut a rough edge that makes it sound like a killer outtake from, say, High Voltage.
Critics will bitch that it’s AC/DC doing the same three-chord shtick but that’s as silly as dissing Chuck Berry or Bo Diddley. If the formula works, why fuck with it?
I’m still pissed at the boys for going to bed with Wal-Mart but am eagerly waiting for the band to announce a Tampa tour date. I’ve seen Brian Johnson front some pick up bands when I lived in Sarasota but have yet to witness the ferocity of a full-out AC/DC show. This needs to be corrected.
Rock ’n’ Roll Train, AC/DC
