A quick and funny one, from Guitarist.co.uk site:
New AC/DC album to weigh in with a whopping 15 tracks
The wheels on the chariot of the gods of rock are finally turning again…
AC/DC have confirmed that the title of their new album will be Black Ice as widely rumoured, with the first single being Runaway Train.
Reports that one of the songs includes an F minor chord cannot be confirmed at this time.
What?! Reports that one of the songs includes an F minor chord cannot be confirmed at this time!!
Really, I am also interested to find out about the album, but about the fact that hey, listen…ONE OF THE SONGS INCLUDES AN F MINOR CHORD!! Man, this is mad!
I don’t know, maybe I am not THAT familiar with ACDC’s chord choices,but is this something out of the ordinary with Angus Young or what?
Their albums have never included a minor chord so far, or what?
I think that’s a news for the really eager fan! Man…
PS: That article is not against Guitarist.co.uk site, in any way, I really like the site and I read it often, but I just found the news hilarous and I just had to point this here! Man…

Haha bit of English sarcasm me thinks, lets face it Acca Dacca songs do tend to stick to E,A,D and G!

I don’t deny this, but they are good at making the most out of those chords. As a matter of fact, you know, when I have heard Thunderstruck compared to the rest of their songs, it seemed to me that they made some kind of experiment since the famous intro is something else than the E, A, D, G thing

That’s hilarious! ACDC is one of my fav’s but yeah, they do tend to stick to those same 3-4 chords! I think the minor was at least inferred on Let Me Put My Love into You at least! I think their popularity and following does point to the fact that they play what is pleasing and easier for our ears to “dissect” and digest.

Maybe this is exactly what made them who they are:power and simplicity. Not Vai, for sure, but they have their own audience and man, I love that sound once in a while…

Just found your blog & love it. Anyway, Here’s a Johnny-come-lately’s $0.02: It’s a joke, folks.
I saw an interview w/Angus a WHILE ago where he was asked: “What do you say to the critics who claim you’ve been writing the same song for the last 3 albums?” Angus had a good laugh and said, “Man, we’ve been writing the same song for the past 25 YEARS!”
And doesn’t that make you love ‘em even more…?
