HIGHWAY TO COACHELLA!!! ROCK OR BUST WORLD TOUR PREMIERE!

EXCLUSIVE MESSAGE FROM ANGUS TO ALL AC/DC ABRUZZO READERS!!! 

IT'S FINALLY OFFICIAL!! AC/DC Abruzzo will be at Coachella for the Rock Or Bust Tour World Premiere!!!

Despite a few health challenges and after more than 28 hours of traveling by plane/car we finally managed to reach Los Angeles, California. We'll spend the night here and then head tomorrow for Indio for the opening day of the Coachella 2015 Festival where AC/DC will play their first full live set in 5 years, with a new lineup.

We are very excited to be there to witness the historic come back of the greatest band of the world even though we are all aware they chose one the most inappropriate festivals for a Rock'n'Roll band they could choose... (But you all know we are prepared to follow this band anywhere...). We'll share this unique experience with our good friend Marco Italia who was also with us at the private Dress Rehearsal in Wilkes Barre, PA in 2008.

After Bilbao 2010, AC/DC will finally hit the stage for a full concert! We can't wait! Stay tuned for exclusive pictures and full report!

ROCK'N'ROLL!

AC/DC "ROCK THE BLUES AWAY" VIDEO SHOOT IN LOS ANGELES

"AC/DC will play in a tiny club in California before their world tour" 

Nostranovis,  December 2014

AC/DC!

The prophecy of Nostranovis was fulfilled just a few hours ago. AC/DC DID play in a tiny club in California before the world tour. And the club chosen was "The Dragonfly club" in Hollywood, California. It was not a real concert but still the band was on stage playing for the recording of the new video clip "Rock The Blues Away" in front of less than 100 lucky fans!!! The prophet was right.

We couldn't make it because of the short notice but some of the closest AC/DC Abruzzo friends were there! Matthew from Vancouver, BC and Christian, from Buenos Aires, Argentina and, last but not least, Marco "The ACDC Italia Stallion" from Brescia, Arizona.

Argentinian craziest fan

Reportedly, the meeting point was near a cemetery and then only 3 buses were used to take the fans to the venue. Much smaller scale than London and apparently no Europeans, except one Italian.

Inside the Dragonfly it was hot as hell, apparently because they needed the A/C off for the smoke.

The meeting place: a cemetery?

Bunch of lucky fans

Christian and Matthew, two of the craziest AC/DC fans in the world, confirmed that this unique event one was even more special than the London video in October. The band was extremely energetic on stage and in a very good mood. Almost ready for the World Tour kick off!

Slade is back!

They did 5 takes with the new single "Rock The Blues Away" and 1 take with the audience only. Brian was as super friendly as usual and Angus and Stevie even came back after the last take to meet the fans and sign autographs. Chris Slade is now back with the band with an official release and, honestly, we think Angus& co made a very good choice to replace "crazy Phil", who had become a liability for the future of the band...

The video will be out in about a month according to our sources. Promotional clips and interviews will be published while waiting on the AC/DC social media.

For the moment here's some photos from the videoshoot (by Nagra Productions) and a short (but intense) video clip by Don Dean.

GRAMMYS 2015: THE BOYS ARE BACK!!!!

8 February 2015 - Staples Center, Los Angeles

"ROCK OR BUST" AND "HIGHWAY TO HELL"

GRAMMY AWARDS 2015 - CHRIS SLADE AND THE PHIL RUDD MYSTERY (Part 6)

First photos leaked of Chris Slade with AC/DC (possibly from the Grammy). Dave Mallet on the right which makes us believe he will be in the next AC/DC video as well.

Not exactly the right album to sign... :)

In the past few weeks we've been watching carefully social media activity regarding the new AC/DC drummer. With only one day to go the band has not yet made any official statement about their choice.

We only got rumors circulating on Facebook and Twitter: first it was Simon Wright who was considered 100% back in the band, then Chris Slade (because of a Facebook post of someone who hired him and then cancelled the gig due to some "major changes in Chris' career"). Last but not least Phil Rudd, who was apparently spot getting on a plane to L.A. only to join AC/DC for the Grammy performance only a couple of days ago.

Well, from the photos circulating today it appears clear that Chris Slade is back with the boys. Tomorrow we will get the official answer... So wait and see!

Which songs will they play? Possibly a medley of Rock or Bust and Highway to Hell... That's our guess.

As for the new US dates, we will probably get them immediately after the Grammy Awards performance...

STAY TUNED!

While waiting for the official press release regarding the new drummer (Chris Slade appears to be confirmed) AC/DC have officially announced that they are looking for 150 fans to take part in the recording of the new AC/DC video which will probably be "Rock the Blues Away".

Enter here your details to have a chance to win. Please keep in mind that only residents from certain America states can participate so read the terms and conditions carefully... :D
