New AC/DC album, Young retires

2014-09-24 by Toondude | 33 Comments
Legendary rock band AC/DC has just announced that they're planning their next album, but without founding member and guitarist Malcolm Young.

According to the band, Young became seriously ill and took a break from the band for a while (being replaced by his nephew Stevie Young while on tour). However due to his condition worsening, Malcolm has officially left the band.

Their next album, entitled Rock or Bust, is set to be released on December 2nd, and a new song, 'Play Ball,' is also planned to be released on September 27th. It will feature 11 tracks.

I'll check this out but I'm sure it'll sound the same as always... they should've retired before this happened.

When a washed up old band feels the need to title their album "rock or bust," I can pretty well guess which it will be...

Saying they should cease to exist is silly. They should tour if they want, but I'd just prefer they not make any more crappy albums. But whatever. It'll be passable radio rock that's no worse than Nickelback or any of the other white noise already out there.

Well past their prime, but been a fan since I was a single cell in the petri dish in which I was cultivated and grew whilst fed a steady diet of rawk.
Still haven't seen them live so all ye saying they should cease to exist can stfu /m/

They're great live, saw them on their Black Ice tour. Glad I got to see them before Young retired.

Even if this turns out to be any good it will get buried by the Sputnikers.

Why? Wasn't Black Ice a sign that it was maybe time to throw in the towel on making music?

I mean at this point they're pretty much just making music to amuse themselves and keep touring which is admirable and kudos to them. I would probably do the same because who the fuck wants to retire and do nothing. I probably won't listen though.
