GET WELL BRIAN!

AC/DC Abruzzo learned about the postponing of 6 October shows in US (Las Vegas, Louisville, Kansas City, Des Moines and Milwaukee ) due to Brian being hospitalised. Reportedly, he will get a 15-day break to get some rest before he gets back on stage for the continuation of the World Tour. From Abruzzo "Auguri di pronta guarigione a Brian".

MALCOLM SPEAKING ABOUT THE SETLIST

Many of you have been asking AC/DC Abruzzo about the setlist problem and about mentioning it to Malcolm... On the very few occasions we met with him we discreetly tackled the subject, also with Brian, and despite our polite requests we understood that changing the setlist and playing rare songs was not a priority of the band. The most important thing was to carry on with this ambitious 2-year world tour, filling up stadiums and reaching as many people as possible around the globe. AMEN.

Here's a recent video (apparently genuine) of a fan chatting with Malcolm about the setlist, next album/CD release etc. 

SHTATEVEBBON.

Thanks to Marcom from BS.

GIGGI FROM NAPLES IN CALIFORNIA

AC/DC Abruzzo's good friend Gigggi, from Naples couldn't resist the temptation and went to California to see the boys again. Last time we met him was last March in Milan for the 2 legendary indoor shows at the Forum Assago.

A lot of water under the bridge since then...

Giggi loved the show and sent us some pics and a short report. He's been advised to save money for next year summer tour in Europe...

ANAHEIM September 8, 2009

My frst lady and I got to Anaheim around 6pm, after driving for 60km on the jammed freeways from Venice Beach to the venue. The first thing you notice in the States is the perfect organization. Maybe a bit excessive... Especially compared to Italy. Relax guys!!!! Inside the Honda Centre there was even air conditioning! Umbelievable!!!But AC/DC got up on stage and it was hot as hell again!!!We got the same setlist as in Europe, with Dog eat dog. The boys are in great shape, not tired at all despite being on tour for so long. The Jack was the highlight of the night with a lot of playing around of Brian and Angus. As for Brian, it's a surprise how much energy he puts into the show... It's hard to believe that he really wants to quit after this tour... How can we live without AC/DC?

Ciao a susfaccimme de esidisiabbruzz..

AC/DC ABRUZZO BACK IN PARIS IN 2010!!!

AC/DC Abruzzo is glad to announce that AC/DC will be back in Europe in 2010!! Although it has not been officially announced by the band, yesterday night we received the confirmation from very reliable sources that AC/DC have signed a deal to play Paris Stade De France again in 2010! This probably means there will be an entire European leg (according to rumours, Eastern Europe)!!

AC/DC Abruzzo staff is now back to work after a well deserved break. Get ready for more surprises and exclusive material from the road! The Black Ice tour GOES ON!!!

AC/DC ABRUZZO's HOLIDAY

Roseto Degli Abruzzi

Last week was holiday week for AC/DC Abruzzo's team ...  

The Secretary General Stefano spent his summer holiday in London working in his luxury Italian restaurant to make enough money to fund Project Japan 2010 (dates TBC).  The President Matteo applied for a couple of Visas in different countries around the world while trying to resuscitate his career and taking care of his suntan on the wonderful Abruzzo's sandy beaches. The Vice President Andrea also spent his holidays working hard in the City of St. Angel, in Abruzzo. His conflict of interest became even more clear since he's been holding secret daily meetings with a member of AC/DC Italia's staff who also chose Abruzzo as the destination of his summer holidays. Orangus touched base with us yesterday after two weeks into hiding in the US. We'll post the last episode of his adventures soon.

Last but not least, Happy Birthday to the President who turned 30 today!

ONE YEAR ON THE ROCK'N'ROLL TRAIN!!!

The most hard core fans around the world will surely remember what happened exactly one year ago in London...

Only a few hundred fans were granted the privilege to attend the shoot of the first AC/DC video since 2001. The long journey around the world of the ROCK'N'ROLL TRAIN had started... 

Although there was no official announcement by Sony or the band on the album release that was a clear sign that AC/DC were finally back after 5 long years!

THE ADVENTURES OF ORANGUS IN AMERICA III

Albany August 2, 2009 Times Union Center

Hi guys, I’m really sad you missed this. I now you’re not jealous people so I’ll tell you that probably this was the best AC/DC concert of my life (as you know I saw more than 40 shows. Maybe the Circus Crowne's 2003 setlist was slightly better).

Late in the afternoon I bought a ground floor ticket at the box office. I specifically asked that the seat was near the aisle (sector 5, row a, seat 14). When I entered the venue, by my surprise, I found out that it was a very small section, almost half of the forum of Assago in Milan. My spot was just one seat away from the catwalk. Once the concert started Brian came straight to me and shook my hand! (I'm sure he remembers me from our meeting in Paris when we tried to convince him to play Ride On again). The sound was just perfect. Really, I couldn’t get a better seat than this.

The audience was great this time (even if they didn't sing Rosie at all). After the show everybody was cheering and screaming like crazy. I actually thought there was some special event or aftershow party outside. In fact people were just amazingly happy because of the show.

I also managed to meet and talk to some guys who attended the legendary Roseland Ballroom show in 2003 in NYC. Great stories. Although they really loved tonight's show obviously that concert was just in another league…
