AC/DC: se confirma que la banda estará de vuelta para su 40 aniversarioLa banda entrará de nuevo al estudio en mayo afirmó Brian Johnson a la emisora "98.7 The Gater" en West Palm Beach (Florida).
AC/DC entrará en un estudio en Vancouver, Columbia Británica, Canadá en mayo, presumiblemente para empezar a grabar un nuevo disco. Además, la banda celebrará su 40 aniversario este año, dando 40 conciertos por todo el mundo.
Esto es lo que comentó Brian Johnson a la emisora cuando se le pregunto si estaban trabajando en algo:
"Bueno, en realidad tú serás el primero en saberlo, no negamos nada, porque no estábamos seguros. Uno de nuestros chicos esta enfermo, no nos gusta nada hablar de ello, y somos discretos con este tipo de cosas, así que no quiero decir nada. Él es un hombre muy orgulloso. Pero creo que vamos a estar en el estudio en mayo en Vancouver. Lo que significa, que deberíamos de estar preparados.
Se cumplen 40 años de existencia de la banda, así que creo que vamos a tratar de hacer 40 conciertos, 40 espectáculos, para agradecer a los fans por su lealtad inquebrantable. Honestamente, quiero decir que nuestros fans son los mejores del mundo, y apreciamos a cada uno de ellos. Así que, como he dicho, vamos a tener que salir, vamos a poneros los dientes largos [ríe]"

Legendary Anglo-Australian hard rockers AC/DC will enter a studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in May, presumably to begin recording their first new material since 2008's "Black Ice" album. In addition, the band will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year by playing 40 shows around the world.
The news of AC/DC's recording and touring plans was revealed earlier today (Friday, February 14) by the band's lead singer, Brian Johnson, during a surprise phone call he gave to Andy Preston of the 98.7 The Gater radio station in West Palm Beach, Florida (hear audio below).
Asked if AC/DC is planning to do anything this year, Johnson told Preston: "Well, you'll be the first one to know, really, because we've been denying anything, 'cause we weren't sure. One of our boys was pretty ill, so we didn't like to say anything, and we're very private about things like this, so we didn't wanna say anything. And he's a very proud man. But I think we'll be going into the studio in May in Vancouver. Which means, we should be getting ready.
"It's been 40 years of the band's existence, so I think we're gonna try to do 40 gigs, 40 shows, to thank the fans for their undying loyalty. I mean, honestly, our fans are just the best in the world, and we appreciate every one of them. So, like I said, we'll have to go out, even though we're getting a bit long in the tooth. [laughs]"
He added: "You know what?! It's been four years [since we last went out on the road], and I'm really looking forward to it."
During a January 2012 appearance on "The Cowhead Show", the American radio program hosted by Mike "Cowhead" Calta, Johnson revealed that health issues were affecting one of his bandmates, which may have put new album plans temporarily on hold. "One of the boys is a little sick and I can't say anything, but he's getting better," Brian said. "He's doing wonderful. Full recovery fully expected."
AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams told BackstageAxxess.com in a March 2013 interview that guitarists Malcolm and Angus Young were writing songs for the band's next album. But Williams said that at the time that there was still a long way to go, explaining, "[There is] nothing in the works right now [as far as recording]. We're still getting over the last tour, so we're just hanging out and doing stuff. The guys are writing material and when they've got some stuff together, they'll give us a holler."
Asked how the band's creative process works, Williams said, "[Angus and Malcolm] get a bunch of ideas together. Some are more together than others — and then we'll all hit the studio or a little rehearsal room and we'll kick it around with a producer. And then we get in a studio and record, and that's kind of how it runs."
