  • AC/DC to Enter Studio - 4/5/99
  • Brian Johnson confirmed last month that the band will soon enter the studio to record the new album, which will mark a 'back to the roots' for the band. "We're gonna try to get that bluesy feel back again," Johnson said, "We'll be going into the studio soon. I think we're going to use George Young. We really want this to be an unforgettable album, a real biggie, you know? We worked hard on the songs." This new album would mark George Young's return, who co-produced (with Harry Vanda) all early AC/DC classics until 1978 and last worked with the band on "Blow Up Your Video" in 1988. No firm release date has been scheduled yet.
