h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Danny,

I have been trying to find out from a few other sites regarding AC/DC's new album, which i hear that they have been in a studio for some while but nothing concrete.

Have you heard anything about a new album

I think the only place I've heard anything about a new album is here on h2g2, from you!

Great news if there is to be one though

You could be right, i only heard about it from myself on here also and blimey i have spoke to you about this already, 'losing it BK' comes to mind

There is a messageboard on Epic records site for AC/DC where it was first mentioned, but that was ages ago, plus i cant get to ask on there as my cookies need sorted or something.

Well, anyroad, if i hear anymore i will let you know

And vice versa!

For those about to rock...

Any idea where i can get 'Cold Hearted Man' on cd from, i have it on record which is a German import from the album Powerage, but the cd of Powerage doesnt have it, i have all their cd's and some rare ones covering every song they did, even the ones with Dave Evans singing.

But for the life of me i cannot get 'Cold Hearted Man' anywhere

It's not a track I know, I'm afraid. I did check my own German import CD ('There's Gonna Be Some Rockin' - some sort of random compilation!) but it's not on there. Sorry...

You could try the (legal) downloading-type places (Napster et al.) to see if you could get it as an mp3..?

I will try that.

Its a shame you dont know it, its a terrific song, sleazy riff, mid tempo but only released on European vinyl.

But damn it Janet, in want it on cd

Sorry, no news of new album as yet, but on Friday BBC4 8:30pm, old recording from 1977 'Rock goes to College' gig of AC/DC, i have seen some of it on Youtube web site, its only for 1/2 hour but worth a watch

Unfortunately, I live in a digital TV 'dead-zone' - we borrowed a friend's Freeview box to try it out and got nothing, so no BBC4 for me

no

Try this for a teaser from the show, tell me if it works

This is the latest i know, i thought i would update you.

>>The album will be recorded in Flashpoint Studios, Surry Hills, Sydney and will take about nine weeks to do over June/July/August 2007. Kevin Shirley will produce and George Young will Co-produce and oversee production. Mark Opitz will engineer. They have booked the time under their own name. All of the vocals will be put down in June in The Warehouse Studios in Vancouver. Other instrumental post production (i.e. overdubs if any)will also be done at Warehouse studio Vancouver under the guidance of George. George Marino the Senior Mastering Engineer at Sterling Sound, New York is booked to master the disc however a mastering date is yet to be set. That has been the entire delay. Apparently they did not want anyone else to do it. The name of the album has not been decided. Album content although written, has not yet been decided. A Tour will not be undertaken this year<<

Heres hoping
