States may disintegrate, collapse economies – but AC / DC sound as ever. If their music policy, she would scrape along almost on populism. But how long it goes well?
By Jakob Biazzastart of the AC / DC tour in Germany at the Nuremberg Zeppelin Field. The greatest rock band of all time is once again on the road. A concert review in five points.
Why are we doing this to us?
In order to understand the presence, of course. AC / DC is finally the most incorruptible measurement instance for Zeitgeist and state of the world. Even though, unlike art otherwise, probably not out of itself. More ex negativo: Whenever bring out the Australians an album or go on tour, it can be seen how much the times have changed again
In addition to the state of the world interested in the condition of the tape.. Because there were breaks in the large constant. Malcolm, of a Young, who probably even more important, is missing for the (studio) sound of the band. Dementia. With 62 years he is sitting in a home in Sydney. Because where else he stands on the stage, seen from the audience left, close to the drums, where one merges with the background and will have to make a show, but just can just keep the engine purring at: Because now is his nephew Stevie Young. On this tour, lead guitarist Angus Young is now the last remaining founding member. Whether can work?
demented Rockstar One missing
The biggest rock band in the world plays in German football stadiums. That band founder Malcolm Young is no longer because of dementia here, bring our Author downright upset.
Just a moment patience. Before perhaps more interesting …
… what we expected before the concert
We have written to the current album “Rock Or Bust”:
The rest: pure, reduced AC / DC rock. No surprises. And that’s necessarily a plus point. AC / DC is actually the only band in the world, is regarded as an artistic profit in the dull repetition. (…) AC / DC rock. You have always rocked. You will always rock. If the musicians still be in ten years will be able to record a final album, then would the dream: It’s called “Rock”. On it are ten songs. And each of them is also called “rock”
And what it really was then
Well, exactly, of course.? Pure, reduced AC / DC rock. What is not less than the ideal type of rock per se. The essence. The songs are and will remain the absolute compression, and yes, even shortening already on Brachial Tagged reef break. Vocal line break. Dä Dä Dä, “Rock or bust”. Dä Dä Dä, “For Those About To Rock”. Dä Dä Dä, “Black”, De Dä Dä, “Hell”. These exactly two different beats: a the four-quarter, one in six-eighth clock. Had this music policy, she would always along scarring almost on populism.
This is so far known. What in all this but so easy to overlook, is the already manic discipline with which this reduction is maintained live. Constance’s nothing, that’s just so there. Especially considering this still noticeable a hundred yards physical stress, which means the production of excess for the band now. Dull repetition as an artistic principle, especially since without a computer, which is the hardest, absolute control abverlangendes craft. Not anymore. But heaven, not even an inch less.
What does this mean for the world?
The Dä Dä Däs still sound as ever. And they even feel almost like forever. The guitarist exchange works. In one word: consistency. States may disintegrate, collapse economies (indeed persist theories about the correlation of success of AC / DC and recessions), the digitization may revolutionize the world and umwürfeln – as long as the family business Young & amp; Young on two guitars with three basic chords of these archaic “Dä Dä Dä” thunders out -Riffs, but all is well. . Everything to bear
What already almost an irony of the story is: The metaebenenloseste band of the universe is in fact become almost metaphysical idea of a musical style. And the actors on stage with it almost to staff performance.
And here the world but is now threatening danger. Because all our discipline can not entirely wipe out that the staff is porous. It’s a small moment of shock when the faces especially of Angus Young and singer Brian Johnson (the one for probably could not replace the importance of the show) are lit on the video screens in HD. Not because they look as old as they are. It’s consuming, ausmergelnde effort, which now looks out of swollen eyes since. Angular movements. Exhausted facial expressions. Each bend on guitar, each pressed out shrieking now seems like exploitation of the bodies. This all works yet. We’re talking about old, gross mechanics. Otto-engine, steam engine, so what. The lubricated after the first song and then runs always round, which actually still rather impressed excited than pity.
The hook
Overall, the production throughout the evening acts but to more than just slimmed nuances: No song runs longer than absolutely necessary. Extra-pirouettes and parts from the previous show frippery are deleted. Reef break. Reef, singing. Riff, Guitar solo. Reef, final. Perhaps this is the final reduction? One can probably still leave time to go through so, yes. Dä Dä Dä, all good. Dä Dä Dä, just how much longer?
