AC/DC announced a 13-date North American tour on Monday that kicks off April 10 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and concludes May 28 in Cleveland, Ohio. Support will again come from The Pretty Reckless who opened the band’s European run earlier this year.
Chris Jericho previously shared his thoughts on AC/DC, specifically the Brian Johnson-fronted albums, and he picked his 3 favorites (excluding the band’s landmark album, “Back In Black). Here’s what he chose.
1. “Flick Of The Switch”: “There are three of my favorite AC/DC songs on ‘Flick Of The Switch,’ and they never f*cking play them. I started going to see AC/DC on the ‘Who Made Who’ tour. I’ve seen every (tour), and they never play those songs. ‘Rising Power,’ ‘Flick Of The Switch’ and ‘Guns For Hire,’ those three songs are to me up there with the best AC/DC songs.”
2. “Fly On The Wall”: “The next pick is what I feel is the last great AC/DC record that I like every song. That would be their next record, ‘Fly On The Wall.’ Another album they play nothing from. Every song on that record is great. I think the biggest problem with that album is the mix is really bad. The vocals sound like they’re coming from a different room almost. (But) from a songwriting standpoint, I like (it all).”
3. “Power Up:” “I think the last three records they’ve done have all been good, but ‘Power Up,’ … almost every song on this record is fun to listen to. Usually when you get to the final stretch of the ‘DC records, they run out of steam, but they don’t here. ‘Shot In The Dark,’ I thought, ‘That’s not too bad. It’s typical AC/DC.’ But then ‘Realize,’ ‘Rejection,’ ‘Witch’s Spell,’ … ‘Demon Fire’ is one of those tunes like a ‘Guns For Hire.’ That could be on ‘High Voltage’ or ‘Back In Black. It’s just a killer tune. I think Brian’s voice sounds better now than it has in the last 20 years.”
