AC/DC crank out their 'War Machine' - new track!
Posted by MMMusic Thursday 25 September, 2008 09:42 AM
AC/DC have released a second song from their highly-anticipated album Black Ice called 'War Machine' - have a listen to it right here and tell us what you think!
As previously reviewed by Triple M, the track is a bruiser with Brian Johnson chanting like a demonic warlord.
Just hit play to hear it now:
What do you think of 'War Machine' - post your comment below!
Black Ice hits the shops on Saturday October 18 with the band kicking off their American tour ten days later. Most of those dates sold out in minutes.
There's no word yet on Aussie dates but rumours are already flying it could be happening early next year.

:: Black Ice sneak peek preview
:: Angus: "I'll still wear my uniform"

Love it, even better than RNR Train... go Brian. You rock my knickers!

Lame. RnR Train was predictably kickass as hell, but as soon as I finished listening to it, I knew that it would be one of maybe three rockers on the whole record, just like Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip. War Machine is fill. I love AC/DC, but you'd think after 8 years they could write more than 3 bona fide rockers for an album. I'd actually rather just have a 3 or 4 song EP every few years than what I'm expecting from Black Ice.

Stll haven't heard the whole song yet - MMM, you left the ending off dammit! I like, I like it lots!!!
Itching to purchase the CD when it's released, (yes I still buy the CD's from the music shops). As for Greg saying it's nothing but fill - maybe he should start listening ABBA. Congrats Angus, Malcolm, Brian, Phil and Cliff on a job well done.

Just great. Can't wait to see them live!

It's AC/DC - the greatest band in the world. What's not to like?
If you're a real AC/DC fan as I am anything they produce is going to be great with or without airplay on the radio.
Can't wait for the release of the CD and for the concert.

Kick arse song - this album's going to be their best!

Great song but the start sounds a bit like 'Giving the Dog a Bone'.

Bring on the Australian gigs.
My 12 y.o son & 9 y.o daughter know all the words to the likes of Thunder Struck (Live in Donnington-DVD) & want me to buy them tickets to the concert that hasn't even been announced yet...
C'mon Myf, you've got the inside gossip...find out when they're touring so I can spend me hard earned PLEASE.
I'm 46, so it's second generation ACDC fans waiting on the word Myf.

Posted by me Tuesday 30 September, 2008 06:41 PM
Great, but not as good as Rock 'n' Roll Train still. It's still awesome though. Can't wait for the album, and the tour. AC/DC 4EVAA

Without AC/DC the world would be dull, these songs new or old are the greatest! Thats why we hear them in movies, comercials, sporting events all over the world, Long live AC/DC!!!!!

God love 'em, they are so lovely.
Lets hope they sober up just that little bit more before they come to Australia, wouldn't want them getting ill!
They are a beautiful group of young men, and a fantastic group of singers/performers/musicians, all in all, they are fantastic, greatest band on earth.
WE ALL LOVE YOU AC/DC

Being in a ac/dc tribute show,looking forward to adding the new stuff into the show.
ACCA DACCA bring it on

Gotta say war machine is does acdc no justice
Posted by PETER CASTLE Tuesday 7 October, 2008 07:32 PM
AC/DC are the GREATEST! They are Living LEGENDS!!
The new album will definately be very good. It may not be another Back in Black or Highway to Hell but it will still be damn good. Most new Rock bands today would do anything just to be able to release anything half as good as what AC/DC have released over the years. AC/DC are the Masters!
I dearly hope that they come to Brisbane on their world tour. I have seen them live 3 times and they are the best live Rock act I have ever seen. Bring it on! :)

One of many great songs you just wait till you hear songs like Rock N Roll Dream, Decibel and Stormy May Day especially awesome stuff
Posted by Chris Friday 10 October, 2008 08:29 PM
Not bad at all. Can't wait to hear the album tonight!
Posted by Jimmy Papapostolou Monday 13 October, 2008 03:56 PM
Well, just heard War Machine. That is an unbelievably great riff. IT ROCKS!
