BLACK ICE WORLD TOUR PHOTOBOOK! THANK YOU!


Five months ago, when the Black Ice World Tour 2008-2010 Photo Book was released, we didn't certainly expect so many good reviews and positive feedback from all AC/DC fans, from famous music journalists to simple concert goers... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We managed to deliver a copy of the book to all the band members (and we are particularly happy about the fact that we were told that Malcolm liked it a lot). It hasn't been an easy job to make a book from scratch, but after travelling around the world for two years and seeing 85 different AC/DC shows we believed it was the right thing to do. And we did it.





AC/DC Abruzzo is now progressively going back to "normal" everyday life after 2 years of intense rock'n'roll lifestyle around the world with the greatest rock'n'roll band of all time. For those of you who followed our adventures, you might understand what we mean... With the President Matteo on his back way to Canada, Secretary General Stephano in London, the Vice President Andrea in Abruzzo with his wife (waiting for a little AC/DC baby fan!!) and Orangus in Milan, AC/DC Abruzzo will continue to believe that there will be another AC/DC concert...

One day...

Missing the World Tour... including the glorious KOSP-KK days... ;)

CONDOLEANCES TO JAPAN



Our beloved region of Abruzzo knows about the dramatic consequences of a earthquake since we were hit by a powerful one in April 2009, which entirely destroyed the historic city of L'Aquila killing hundreds of people. What happened in Japan is a total catastrophe and our hearts go out to Japan and to all those who lost someone during the earthquake or the Tsunami. As AC/DC fans we were even more sad because exactly one year ago we were visiting that beautiful country for the AC/DC Japan tour...
We know that the Japanese People is very strong, especially when facing difficult challenges, and will be able to rise again!

LA BIOGRAFIA DI BON SCOTT in italiano


Finalmente disponibile in italiano l'esaustiva e ben documentata biografia di Bon Scott, scritta dal noto giornalista musicale australiano Clinton Walker. "Highway to Hell- La biografia di Bon Scott, leggenda degli AC/DC" - è probabilmente l'opera più valida in circolazione a ripercorrere tutta la vita del leggendario cantante degli AC/DC, dall'infanzia alle prime esperienze musicali nei Valentines e Fraternity fino ad arrivare alla gloria internazionale con gli AC/DC.

La biografia di Walker, già pubblicata in Australia, USA, UK e altri paesi, ci era già nota per l'attenzione con cui è stato effettuato il lavoro di ricerca, partendo dalle fonti dirette: dal fratello Graeme Scott fino a Mary Renshaw, dalla moglie Irene Thornton a Mark Evans (alcuni dei quali abbiamo avuto l'onore di incontrare noi stessi l'anno scorso durante il tour australiano della band). Coloro che hanno conosciuto e passato momenti indimenticabili con il grande frontman offrono testimonianze della vita Bon nella sua ascesa verso il successo e l'immortalità propria delle leggende del rock scomparse prematuramente.

Sebbene ci siano alcune piccole imprecisioni storiche e Walker non abbia potuto contare sul contributo dei fratelli Young, di Phil Rudd o Cliff Williams, la biografia risulta davvero completa e piena di aneddoti interessanti e divertenti, che ben delineano il carattere gentile, forte, determinato e ovviamente irriverente e imprevedibile di Bon. Molte delle foto pubblicate nel libro sono decisamente rare (e alcune mai pubblicate prima) e meritano, da sole, l'acquisto del libro, specialmente quelle concesse dalla Famiglia Scott (dal paffuto Bon neonato nelle braccia della mamma Isa a Kirriemuir fino al Bon rockstar durante il matrimonio di Angus a Londra nel febbraio 1980).

La traduzione di Ruggero Brunello è davvero molto buona e ben ha fatto la casa editrice Boogaloo Publishing ad affidarsi ad un vero fan della band per questo difficile lavoro. La prefazione è curata dallo stesso traduttore che colloca, storicamente e culturalmente, la figura di Bon anche nel contesto italiano, sebbene il grande cantante non si sia mai esibito in concerto con gli AC/DC nel nostro paese... Molto interessanti ed utili le numerose note esplicative del traduttore.

Un libro sicuramente imprescindibile per ogni fan italiano degli AC/DC che si rispetti e che ancora crede nell' "Infinite power of rock'n'roll" che ci è stato insegnato dal grande Ronald Belford Scott.
