There have been some complaints that O’Brien’s production on AC/DC's Black Ice is a bit too clean. Don’t listen to em’. The riffs here are as big and ballsy sounding as ever.

But what you’ve really got to respect about Angus and the boys is not just that they’ve stayed on top for more than three decades now, but that they’ve done so without really changing a thing. ... read more |

I was completely bewildered when, during the 3/4-set arrival of “Plush,” a nearby group of sorority chicks suddenly got all antsy, huddling together in a secret conversation until one of them finally turned to the people next to them and said, “Oh my god, what’s this song called?" ... read more |

I’ll be honest: I’ve never been in a fight. I just don’t have the vindictive, alpha male characteristics required to chuck fists at another man, but even still, I’ll occasionally be in a fiery, hot-tempered mood and certain songs will push me near the edge, jeopardizing my good vibes equilibrium ... read more |
