From acdc.com

‘Rock or Bust,’ the highly anticipated new studio album from AC/DC, will be released December 2, 2014. Featuring 11 new tracks and recorded in Spring 2014 at Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC, 'Rock or Bust' finds AC/DC once again working with producer Brendan O’Brien and mixer Mike Fraser.

“Rock or Bust” is the first AC/DC album in the band’s 41 year history without founding member Malcolm Young on the recordings. Earlier this year AC/DC released a statement explaining that due to illness, Malcolm would be taking a break from the band. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm’s condition, he will not be returning to the band. AC/DC will undertake a world tour in support of ‘Rock or Bust’ in 2015. Stevie Young, nephew of founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, plays rhythm guitar on 'Rock or Bust' and will accompany the band on tour.

Shame about Malcolm. If I remember correctly I think Stevie Young toured with them in place of Malcolm on one of the tours in the the late 80's or early 90's

Hope the album is as good as Black Ice. Cannot believe it's been 6 years since that was released.

Gutted about Malc, for me he's the absolute driving force of DC.

New song Play Ball aired this morning. They haven't exactly made a radical departure from the previous sound. Good wake up song for the commute.

Not looking good for him at the moment, he really looks like st.
Don't know whether he thought this was for radio or not, but you'd have thought he's put his teeth in:

His album sound good though.

The 'attempting to procure murder' charge has been dropped, but still has the 'threatening to kill' and 'possessing drugs' charges.

2 or 3 cracking tracks on the new album. It's better than Black Ice I think.

Hmm... co-incidentally that suggests they're in the UK over Glastonbury weekend (although they're playing in Glasgow on the Saturday night)...

Actually that's pissed me off.
I am hearing the tickets are £72 (nearer £80 including the robbing booking fee), travel, hotel, beer, food....
Near on £200 for us in the middle.
