_ Now this is the first UK tour since back in 84 when you were at Castle Donington in fact some 65,000 yeah, yeah
[F] You missed us
[E] We've been busy doing you know what you've been doing
Things you know like
Touring touring America and the album yeah
I mean it amazes me.
It must be a blur you can't sort of see remember every gig you do surely yeah You do
Where am I tonight?
You know you must?
Yeah, pretty good.
Yeah, you cope you cope.
I think every gigs got to make you remember a certain place either
They get break in a yellow dressing room when they sit in [Ab] it
And the green carpet you know the crowds being great.
Oh, you know what about your voice? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You obviously do you know you're a true professional _ _
_ Any changes to the set at all still got the cannon and the bell and
Yeah, yeah, and then we can find
[G] I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna play one of my all-time favorites of yours now going back to
1977 what's it called?
Let there be rock.
That's the one ACC
[B] _ Let there be rock AC [F] DC with of course the late great Bond Scott now after so many years together as
Some 11 classic albums _ _ _
_ Listen what I'm fine.
It must be difficult to top the last album each time.
I mean surely I
They can take you're gonna tell us in a minute hang on as a pause a pregnant pause here.
What is it?
I suppose it always is it's just every time you go in yeah, I was
You know yeah, I was excited about your new stuff when you win
And I don't think you think of the last album you can it when you're going to do something
You know that makes [Gb] sense you know because your last two albums look at the switch and flounder wall
You knew one a self-produced aren't they why did you decide to do that?
matter of circumstance
Our producer I wasn't ready yet to go into the studio.
He's still busy
So the boys went in and just said they will do it myself
Which is what they did in the beginning anyway?
You know he's a producer it with my experience the lads were in with a producer anyway
Yeah, but they were still really telling the lad what they wanted so in a roundabout way
It was really all it is is an extra pair of ears you know and you're an expensive extra pair of ears
And you're pleased with it.
Yeah, because I mean look at the switch was a really raw sound
Well, that's one of me favors that you know a lot of the lads like that one as well
It's just rock and roll album.
You know and I love it
What about a live album cuz you've done a live album for eight years now isn't it?
If you want blood yeah, you want blood for the last one plans
_ If I think you get people get a bit cheapened by you know these days anyhow
Why how if we've done something maybe if we could do some new songs?
Yeah, I'm performing life which would be a bit hard in our case, but yeah, you'd like to do one with you Brian
I've shit like that
Yeah, it's you know as I said we've got a live track on this _
[Fm] Double a side
[Ab] So that's good.
It's another look at my one of my favorites of yours AC DC again from 81
This is those about to [F] rock
[Ab] All those about to rock a CD see you picked up
Fair amount of attention from the moral majority in America haven't you with it?
They're calling you [Gb] Satanists some of them abandon and picketing your gigs.
How'd you feel about that?
Yeah, they buy tickets
Good publicity as well
_ Sometimes it's only when they
Go go a bit far.
Yeah, and they try to drag in and now they they had this guy in LA
I don't know what they call night night stalker.
Yeah, and they try to push it that we
Were influenced by by him listening to our records or something something.
It was an influence on the
The teenage world.
Yeah, because I was talking to Dee Snider namedrop at Christmas about
About the censorship over there because some of these political factions are trying to pass this censorship [Ab] on album covers
You think that's gonna happen they did get it they do
Yeah, yeah, but if you'll notice with cigarettes, they've got the same thing and a lot of good it does
Why have you put a lyric sheet on fly the wall?
Because basically a lot of people don't understand.
He's Geordie accent
_ _ _ To your gigs, but I how do you choose your set?
How'd you go about choosing it?
_ _ You do choose it I take it yourselves.
Yeah, the kids choose it.
Yeah, the audience chooses.
No, we try to do it
We try [Gb] to change it around do different things here and different.
Yeah outrageous
Really?
