Hard rockers The Pretty Reckless recently wrapped up an extensive tour with the legendary AC/DC. In a new interview with The Mistress Carrie Podcast, frontwoman Taylor Momsen was asked what lessons she learned from being on the road with rock royalty.
“Honestly, it’s unbelievable,” she said. “Getting to watch them every night was just a schooling. You just got schooled by AC/DC every night, in the best way possible, where you watch the show and you watch Angus up there running around and you just go, ‘They’re one of the inventors of this. This is what this is.’ And they’re everything you want them to be and more, as people and the show they deliver.”
Momsen continued: “I think they’re on fire right now. They have something extra that they’re giving to the audience, and it’s just incredible to see every night. It’s so loud, it’s obscene — in the best way possible. Angus’s amps are — I think they’re, like, 110 dB on stage before they even turn the P.A. on. So just that alone is so f*cking rock and roll… It’s so loud. And the fact that he controls that volume like it’s nothing is insane. I mean, he’s driving the race car of electric guitars on stage every night. They’re just awesome. And then as people, they’re awesome. They’re as rock and roll as you can get. They’re as kind as you can get. Just the whole camp, the whole everything was so welcoming and so gracious and supportive and just cool. And I think I can genuinely say after being out with them for so long now — I’ve had two birthdays on tour with AC/DC; I’ve been three different ages — that we’ve made a really special connection and I think we’ve made some lifelong friends. And that’s just very surreal to say out loud, but also just awesome because at the end of the day, we’re all people and we all love rock and roll. And that’s your common thread.”
The Pretty Reckless also recently dropped a new song/video “For I Am Death” which can be viewed below.
