Dear Italian fans, if you have any connections to the band, please let them know that it's a disgrace not to have anything from Powerage in their setlist, and 1st of all, playing the same damn setlist(more or less) for more than HALF A YEAR now!
The thing is that the band is doing this World Tour not for the hardcore fans and 95% of the people seem to be absolutely happy with the setlist. Promoters are happy too. So why changing the setlist? We understand Malcolm's point of view on this...
I don't understand malcolm on this. He sure must have heard the outcry of the hardcore fanbase about the setlist. Why he won't add a couple of real gems is beyond me. It's just sad! Of course people like the setlist, because they haven't heard IYWB so far, cause if they would hear that they wouldn't ask for War machine or Anything Goes ...
I have to admit, reading about the setlist NOT (really)changing yesterday after the Leipzig concert really was abit dissapointing. I´m going to both Gelsenkrichen and Cologne, and for a second I thought about selling my ticket for Cologne because of the setlist. On the other hand, as a harcore fan I´m glad to hear Dog Eat Dog, because I wasn´t able to hear this song live in 1996. After all, I´m glad I catched them twice in 2003 with an awesome set. The actual setlist is (indeed) a bit boring for all us old fans, but hey, I´m looking forward to hear Shoot to thrill, Anything goes and Dog Eat Dog! Stop complaining about Anything goes! It´s maybe one of the best songs for AC/DC to perform live. See you in Gelsenkrichen and Cologne!! :-)
I'm not complaining about Anything Goes, I actually like it. Then way I see it though is that it doesn't deserve a spot on the setlist for 8 months straight if you have a back catalog with songs like Riff Raff, Rock'n'Roll Damnation, If you want Blood, Walk All over You...(the list is endless)
I think it´s a great tune, different, but great, and it deserves it´s place in the set. More than War Machine and Black Ice. The setlist should look like this, and I think all would be happy:
Rock & roll train High voltage Back in black (annoying, but you have to play it) Money made Stiff upper lip Girls got rhythm Thunderstruck Hard as a rock Bad boy boogie Hells bells Shoot to thrill Kicked in the teeth Dog eat dog Anything goes You shook me all night long TNT Whole lotta rosie Let there be rock (without solo) Highway to hell ------------------------------- Encore: Rocker!!! For those about to rock & huge fireworks
Yep, unfortunately.... Maybe they should, at least listen to fans anyway.. They are becoming more and more untrustworthy. But better an AC/DC show with standard songs than NO AC/DC show!!! I´m glad they are on tour again!
Yes Indeed Chris, No doubt about that. And I'm gonna enjoy Munich like it was my 1st and last show combined. Still, a bitter taste is left in the corner somewhere, think of what they could have played
As it was said, I don´t believe they will ever listen to fan requests. The Gelsenkirchen and Cologne show will be my 8th and 9th AC/DC show. I will also enjoy them like the others I´ve been to. I think we just complain because we had enough time to listen to all the old stuff over and over again for the last five years they haven´t been around. Well, complaining about this won´t get us anywhere. It is like it is, we have to accept it!
Accept, hmm...I've prepared a letter for the boys, will hand it over to the guys @ the soundboard after the Munich show. I don't have any expectations but I just want to tell em what some of us feel.

PROJECT AC/DC ABRUZZO
AC/DC ABRUZZO has enforced a strict "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING" policy since its creation trusting in the immense power of Rock'n'Roll (which is NOT noise pollution and which will never die). All our accomplishments are the result of this policy combined with hard work, planning and improvisation. Expressions such as "I can't", "it's impossible", "I don't have a ticket", "I don't have the money" and similar limiting beliefs are not in our dictionary. We just don't like making excuses. We urge all our users to embrace and spread our rock'n'roll philosophy.
AC/DC ABRUZZO MOBILE LIFESTYLE
"Livin' on the streets you gotta practice what you preach" B.S.
The members of the AC/DC ABRUZZO Steering Committee are ambassadors of "The Mobile Lifestyle". Thanks to the AC/DC Black Ice World Tour we have learned how to master time and mobility to create a rewarding Rockstar lifestyle, living anywhere we want and doing what we love more! LET THERE BE ROCK with AC/DC!
You can see AC/DC ABRUZZO's flag 2 minutes 26 seconds in.
AC/DC SALUTE THE ITALIAN FLAG!
ABRUZZO EARTHQUAKE - THANK YOU!
The earthquake that struck Abruzzo last April was devastating: 292 dead (22 children) and about 40.000 evacuees. AC/DC ABRUZZO WANTS TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO MADE A DONATION THROUGH OUR BLOG TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF THE EARTHQUAKE!

Shoot to thrill
Kicked in the teeth

Unfortunately AC/DC is not Bruce Springsteen or Aerosmith who takes requests from fans...
ReplyDeleteYep, unfortunately....
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should, at least listen to fans anyway..
They are becoming more and more untrustworthy.
But better an AC/DC show with standard songs than NO AC/DC show!!!
I´m glad they are on tour again!

ReplyDeleteThat´s a pretty good idea, but I don´t think that one of the guys will even see this letter.
ReplyDeleteBut I´m hoping the best. :-)
