I do completely agree with you. Black ice would have been the perfect coda...I love this band.
Shoulda quit when Malcolm couldn't go any more.
Black Ice would have been a great swan song.
Instead, we get Rock or Bust, Nepotism on rhythm guitar, Phil Rudd, this tragic news about Brian and Axl Fucking Rose.
I hope Steve is watching, learning and will never let this happen to Maiden
I remember when AC/DC was reluctant to offer their music in a digital format (ITunes, Amazon) because they wanted fans to buy whole LP not just certain songs. If that is true, that they care about their deep cuts so much, then why was their setlist so stagnant for DECADES?! One reason I love Axl singing for them, he is bringing back the deep cuts!
(hearing loss; never heard of ear plugs?)
That said, Phil Rudd has a big shout in the rhythm section of AC/DC.Now Lemmy and Prince have someone to keep them in time.
