When news broke in early February that AC/DC were returning to the road, there were scenes of great joy in the Classic Rock office. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned in this space before that of all the bands that the editorial team love, it’s quite possibly only AC/DC that unites us all! Ahead of their imminent arrival in the UK, we sent Dave Everley to Germany to catch the fervour of the opening night of their tour, and Paul Elliott spoke with rock luminaries Joe Perry, Gene Simmons and Francis Rossi to try to get to the heart of what makes Angus and co. tick and how AC/DC manage to keep their rock’n’roll train rolling.
And it all comes (subscribers, online purchases and UK newsstand only) with an AC/DC @ 50 badge set with two exclusive pin badges. Also in this issue, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart sit down with us for the Classic Rock Interview, we look back at the making of classic Allman Brothers live album At Fillmore East, catch up with Joe Bonamassa and Glenn Hughes as they reunite Black Country Communion, chat with Ian Hunter about his celebrity encounters, and so much more. We've also got a limited edition Black Country Communion bundle containing the magazine with a unique, bespoke cover plus an exclusive lyric sheet, hand-signed by Glenn Hughes, a limited-edition Black Country Communion drinks coaster and two Black Country Communion guitar picks.
Until next month...
Fellow rock’n’roll lifers Gene Simmons, Francis Rossi and Joe Perry uncover how AC/DC hav.
