Members noirjp Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 Wow it sounds killer!!!! What an awesome guitar sound too. Less gain than what I expected from them. What an incredible tone man. You know...this kills the new Metallica and GNR stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greg apocalypse Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 Does it sound exactly like all their other albums? That's actually what I love about AC/DC, is I can shuffle every single song off all of their albums, and they're pretty much the same. Probably top 5 favorite bands. Should go pick that up.

Members LowWoods Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've come to the conclusion that I don't like to sit and listen to AC/DC albums. However, I would never want to miss an opportunity to see them live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DyeMusica Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I love ac/dc...And this new record sounds amazing tone wise, but song writting, and vocals are pure ass.I have to rack this record up for the worst one they have ever put out...I even like fly on the wall better! Its just Johnsons vocals, hes too old to sing, his voice doesnt even have anything left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BerkleeBill Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 The recording of Black Ice is very good. I like the guitar tones, even if the Wizard amps seem to have a bit of fizz on the top end (anyone else hear that?) The songs are ok. I like the more melodic direction they took on some of them. It's a decent album - not breaking any ground here, and certainly not one of AC/DC's highlight albums, if you ask me. It's better than their last studio effort, however, but a far cry from their albums of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheEsupremacy Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I must say the guitar tone on Black Ice is one of the best I've ever heard. Can't wait to see them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jim85IROC Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've only been once through the full album, but so far I'm a bit underwhelmed. The tone sounds nice, but one song just fades into the next. There's nothing memorable about any of the songs. Maybe that feeling will change as I listen more. I haven't been able to stop listening to Death Magnetic since it came out. I really don't expect this cd to have anywhere near that kind of staying power in my cd player.

Members PlayboyChris Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think it's their best album in 7 years, and certainly their most potent release since "Stiff Upper Lip." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cibyl Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Got my copy from ACDC.com this past Monday. So far a really like it -- a few stinker/throw-away tunes but overall it's a solid record IMO. Love the tones, Brian's voice sounds great and the production is very nice.

Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 How many think "Decibel" sounds like AC/DC and ZZ Top merged together? The first riffs sound like an old ZZ Top tune but I can't remember which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pete Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Overall it's a solid album, much better than stiff upper lip. I thought cliff's bass lines were much better, phil rudd's sound is massive and not sure how but seems brian's voice is getting better with age. Not sure about angus cause he's not soloing like he used to, not as aggressive as he used to be. But all in all there's some classic riffs and killer tone on this album, are they still using Wizard amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Malcolm uses late 70's Marshall JMP 100 watts, master volume, vertical inputs, not sure who modded them or if they are "Wizard" modded. You can clearly see them in the Rock'n'Roll Train video as long as that's what he's playing through. Sometimes Angus uses JMP 50 watt and sometimes JMP 100 watt amps depending on venue. They might be using new Marshall hand-wired heads to save their old 70's stuff from the road. I saw a video from a 1976 Australian Rock TV show with both Malcolm and Angus using two Orange OR-120, 120 watt heads with two stacks of Orange 4X12's. I just remember they had a great blues-rock tone in that video. It was on YouTube and now I can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
