AC/DC at River Plate is coming!

GEISELWIND FAN MEETING 2012

Stonebreaker and Matteo Abruzzo, authors of AC/DC Fantography 2003-2010

AC/DC Abruzzo is back on the road! After Argentina (soon the detailed story of our Argentinian trip) we visited our friend Stonebreaker in Germany who gave us a complete report of the GEISELWIND FAN MEETING 2012. This year was probably one of the best editions with fans from all over the world. Even from Russia! Of course this was also a great opportunity to drink some new AC/DC beer...

Stay tuned!

NEW AC/DC LIVE ALBUM - IT'S OFFICIAL!

Today Sony announced the new AC/DC's album. It's AC/DC LIVE AT RIVER PLATE! Out on 20 November 2012! Below all the details in English and Italiano. There will be two special editions: one box-set with 3 records (red color vinyl) and one box-set with two cd's and a 24-page booklet.

Yes, probably that means that the new studio album will be postponed to 2014 together with the "rumored" tour dates in huge venues. But we already told you that, didn't we?

AC/DC ABRUZZO - BACK IN GERMANY!

Stiff Upper Lips

From what we heard the whole album and tour will be postponed by one year so there won't be any album before 2013. As for the mini tour we keep our fingers crossed for 2014...

During the never ending world travels of Matteo Abruzzo, he made a stopover in Frankfurt, Germany to visit Timm "Stonebreaker", good friend since the Hammersmith 2003 gig and co-author of the Fantography photobook.

After a trip to the legendary "Frankfurt Festhalle" the night was spent with local food delicacies and several liters of the famous "Apfelwein"...  And lots of memories and stories from the Black Ice World Tour...

AC/DC Abruzzo News

AC/DC in Thailand

It's been a long time since the last AC/DC Abruzzo's blog entry. But not much has happened in the last few months.... All the fans, including us, are silently waiting for the next AC/DC album and tour. In the meantime the Vice President Andrea is working as a full time father for his daughter Agata; the Secretary General is in London attending his wine sommelier business and the President Matteo, after traveling to a dozen different countries, has finally ended up in the Middle East (but don't worry: he hasn't joined any military army yet!).

AC/DC RUMOURS

After Brian stating that the recording of the album was postponed due the illness of a member of a band all types of rumors have spread. But we've been used to this type of fake rumors, especially after waiting for five years before the Black Ice tour...

The only credible "unofficial news" is about AC/DC recording the new album at the end of 2012 beginning of 2013. The tour will take place next summer and it will be much shorter than the Black Ice tour, possibly only large venues. Fingers crossed...

AC/DC SCOTLAND's FAMILY JEWELS (part 6)

Beside Jane and Brian, with whom we attended many AC/DC concerts around the world, from New York MSG to Perth, Australia, we also met Bryce again, another hard core fan from Glasgow. While visiting the exhibition, he shared several stories with us, including those about the first time he saw AC/DC in concert (he was 3 and he was taken to the show by his father). Bryce also told us the story about Bon's Scotland scarf, given to him as a gift, together with a trophy celebrating the AC/DC sold out at the Apollo Theatre.... These two items were borrowed by the curator of the Family Jewels Exhibition and will be displayed only in Glasgow.
