AC/DC To Talk New Album / Tour

Brian Johnson is due to meet up with the Young brothers

Published 7th Jun 2012

Johnson has revealed in a new interview with a US radio station (via Gibson) that he is due to meet up with both Malcolm and Angus Young in the coming weeks to discuss what the band will be doing next.

Johnson said, "I'll be getting together with Malcolm in a couple of weeks, and then we're going to London to meet up with Angus , hopefully. And that's usually how we'll start.

"We're just a bunch of pals from the projects, still. Even though we've done well, we still have the same roots that we stick by that we did when we had nothing, basically. And that's the work ethic. And it has to be right for the boys to do anything. When we're sitting down and we're talking about, 'Can we do this? We're not gonna be a pale shadow of our former selves?' We'll talk about it and make sure that we've all got it. We're just five pieces of a card, and if one of us is not really able to perform at 100 per cent, the whole thing would just collapse, I think."

AC/DC also plan to tour, but maybe not as before. "Well, I think it wouldn't be like the last one,” Johnson says. "That was two years... just nuts. For guys our age at the time, to tour the world to sell-out audiences everywhere, it gives you a good feeling. And the great thing was to look out into the audiences and have a look at the generations of people... I mean, it was unbelievable... Kids there that were 7-8 years old, teenagers..."
