The new AC-DC track Rock n Roll Train was all over the radio this morning. I heard it on 3 different stations on the drive in. They were all claiming to have been the first station to have played it in Canada at 6am this morning, which I found rather amusing. There seems to be so many people excited about this new song and album, but I just don’t get it. It sounds exactly the same as every other AC-DC track pretty much. I think when most people heard the title of the track they could probably sing the song in their heads, given how formulaic AC-DCs music is. Even the name of the track is pretty cliché. The title of their album, Black Ice, even sounds rehashed. Do you think they were drinking 40oz of cheap malt liquor the whole time while recording? If so that would somehow make the title a little better in my eyes.
If you haven’t heard the song yet, here’s a video of it

How can you not respect a band that keeps touring and recording new music long after financial dependency?
I like the new song, and if it didn’t sound “exactly the same as every other AC-DC track pretty much” then I, along with most AC/DC fans would not like it, because we like the sound. It’s funny because you say it sounds all the same, yet if they put out something that sounded completely different, people would say they sold out.

I think it’s alright. Still got the old school feel to it, altho his voice ain’t what it used to be. the first solo could flow a little smoother too, but all in all i thought it was pretty good.
