Is Brian Johnson reuniting with AC/DC to record a new album?

Nick Reilly | Aug 8, 2018 8:23 am

難道Brian Johnson將回歸AC/DC並錄製新專輯嗎？

Nick Reilly 2018 08 08



He's been spotted with drummer Phil Rudd in Vancouver...

他跟鼓手Phil Rudd一起在溫哥華被看見...

AC/DC are rumoured to be working on new music with former frontman Brian
Johnson and ex-drummer Phil Rudd, after the pair were spotted together in
Vancouver.

從他們在溫哥華被看到後，小道消息指出，AC/DC將與前主唱Brian Johnson(以下簡稱
Brian)及前鼓手Phil Rudd(以下簡稱Phil)，一起為了新專輯努力。

Johnson was forced to leave the band in 2016 after suffering hearing loss,
before being replaced by Axl Rose. Rudd, meanwhile, departed in 2015 after a
string of publicised legal problems.

由於嚴重的聽力損害，Brian在2016的時候被迫離開樂團，並被Axl Rose取代主唱的位置。
而Phil，則是在2015的時候，因為一連串的且廣為人知的法律問題而離去。

But it seems that the classic line-up could be getting together once more
after the pair were spotted in the Canadian city, where the rock icons have
recorded all their albums over the last two decades.

由於溫哥華是這個搖滾樂指標樂團在過去二十年錄製專輯的地方，看起來這個經典的
組合，會在他們兩位在這個加拿大城市被看到後，有著重聚的可能。

A photo posted on Twitter shows Johnson and Rudd relaxing outside the city’s
Warehouse Studios – and it’s claimed that the rest of the band are in tow
too.

從推特上的一張照片，可以看到Brian看Phil在Warehouse Studios外面休息，而這個推
特文也宣稱說其餘團員也在這裡。

The rumors are no more: Brian Johnson and Phil Rudd are back in AC/DC
(in some sort of capacity). What. A. World. #ACDC https://t.co/pyz0i4

「已經不再是傳言了：Brian跟Phil回到了AC/DC(在某種程度上)。這！世！界！

Vancouver website The Straight claims to have been contacted by a local who
spoke to Stevie Young – the nephew of guitarist Angus Young.

溫哥華的網站 The Straight 宣稱說他們接觸到了一個當地人，他有跟跟Stevie Young
(Angus Young的姪子)講到話。

“The guy tells me that he had a quick chat with a couple of members of AC/DC
in downtown Vancouver this morning”, The Straight’s Steve Newton claimed.

「這個男人跟我說，他今天早上在溫哥華跟AC/DC的幾個成員聊了一下。」 The Straight
的Steve Newton這樣表示。

“One of the rockers that he talked to was Stevie Young, Angus Young’s
nephew, who took over the rhythm-guitar spot in AC/DC from Angus’s brother
Malcolm in 2014 when Mal started suffering from the health problems,
including dementia, that he would succumb to last November.

「他跟Angus的姪子──Stevie講到了話，而Stevie在2014年的時候，取代了Malcolm
Young在樂團的節奏吉他手的位置，原因跟Malcolm的失智症有關。」

…the other rocker my source talked to was none other than, get this: Phil
Rudd! Yes, Phil Rudd, the longtime AC/DC drummer who was himself replaced
behind the kit by Chris “Thunderstruck” Slade in 2015 for the band’s Rock
or Bust World Tour.”

「我的消息來源也跟另一個搖滾樂手講到話，更不得了的，聽著──Phil Rudd！
對！就是Phil，長久以來AC/DC的鼓手，卻在2015年的Rock or Bust世界巡演時，被
Chris『如遭雷擊』Slade取代的那個。」

A photo emerged today (August 9) showing Angus and Stevie Young also outside
Warehouse studios.

而今日(八月九日)，另一張照片出現了，告訴我們Angus和Stevie也在Warehouse studios
外面。

Angus Young and Stevie Young spotted. And then there was one…

AC/DC’s Vancouver Photos Raise Three Big Questions

AC/DC在溫哥華的照片揭露了三個大問題

Nick DeRiso August 9, 2018



The prospect of AC/DC's possible reunion naturally sparks both speculation
and debate. There is still so much fans don't know, from the nature of their
supposed reunion to how this updated lineup might work.

AC/DC有可能重聚的展望，自然引起了推測與爭論。許多粉絲仍不知道他們的重聚，以及
這樣的組合可能有什麼成果。

Whatever Angus Young has up his school boy-uniform sleeve, they've taken a
very, very long road to this place. The Rock or Bust era left AC/DC battered
and nearly broken, with Angus as the last remaining original member. Newly
released pictures out of Vancouver appear to show an attempt to put the
available pieces back together again. It won't be easy.

無論Angus的男學生制服上有什麼，他們已經走過了這麼多年了。Rock or Bust時期讓
AC/DC受到重大打擊也差點崩解，目前只剩下了Angus是元老的成員。溫哥華的那張照片
顯示了他們想要重組的打算，但這並不容易。

AC/DC lost founding rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young to a dementia diagnosis
before Rock or Bust even arrived back in late 2014. Then drummer Phil Rudd
departed amid a string of legal problems. Nephew Stevie Young took over for
Malcolm Young, and former member Chris Slade returned to the drum chair, for
a supporting tour.

AC/DC在Rock or Bust到來之前，就失去了成立時的節奏吉他手Malcolm，緊接著鼓手Phil
也因為一連串的法律問題，離開了樂團。姪子Stevie接替了Malcolm，而前鼓手Chris也作
為巡演的樂手前來支援。

But AC/DC's struggles continued. Singer Brian Johnson suddenly left the road
to deal with a worsening issue with his hearing. He was replaced with Axl
Rose, and AC/DC gamely honored their performance contracts – but not before
bassist Cliff Williams decided to retire once the scheduled dates were
completed.

但AC/DC的掙扎仍然持續著，主唱Brian因為聽力損害更加嚴重，突然離開了樂團。他被Axl
Rose給取代。AC/DC仍然表現良好...直到貝斯手Cliff Williams在巡演結束時決定退休。

Few could hazard a guess as to what might happen next, though there was talk
that a Rose-led concert had been filmed. Johnson made a few tentative steps
back, and Rudd left his troubles behind. Yet the prospects of another AC/DC
project seemed to be dwindling, as Malcolm Young eventually succumbed to his
illness and Rose refocused on Guns N' Roses.

很少人可以猜到之後將會發生什麼事情，雖然說有消息傳出Axl主導的演唱會已經被拍攝，
Brian有幾次嘗試要回歸，Phil已經把麻煩給處理完了等等。但AC/DC下一個作品的期望
似乎日漸減少，因為Malcolm的離世，以及Axl又把重心放回了Guns N' Roses。

That is, until Angus Young, Stevie Young, Phil Rudd and Brian Johnson were
apparently caught on camera in Vancouver, where AC/DC has recorded their last
three studio albums. Unfortunately, that's all we know so far. Of the things
still to be determined, however, here are three big questions raised by
AC/DC's Vancouver photos ...

也就是說，直到Angus、Stevie、Phil、Brian在溫哥華，他們的前三個專輯錄製場所，
被拍到的時候，這些就是我們唯一知道的事情。雖然事情仍然撲朔迷離，但有三個大問題
接續著這張照片而來。

1) Are they in Vancouver to record a new album?

No one would fault Angus for trying to get the old band back together – or
at least a reasonable facsimile. Johnson's presence makes sense, too, since
his hearing issues were by all accounts related to live performances. But
what if this supposed reunion isn't in service of new music, at all? Stevie
Young has done a credible job on stage with the old songs, but they're still
missing an inestimable creative piece without Malcolm Young. A more
manageable pursuit might involve putting the finishing touches on a best-of
project, or a box set. It's easier to picture them completing, say, a bonus
track. They might also have gathered to provide extra content for a Rock or
Bust-related special edition – or even the long-rumored concert recording
from Chicago's Wrigley Field. AC/DC hasn't put out a live album since 2011's
Live at River Plate, which was recorded at Argentina's national soccer
stadium in Buenos Aires.

第一、他們在溫哥華是在錄製新專輯嗎？

沒人會指責Angus要重組老樂團(或至少是個摹本)的嘗試，因此Brian的出現也很合理，
因為他的聽力問題跟現場演唱比較有關。但會不會這次重組跟新的音樂完全無關？
Stevie在演奏舊歌並沒有問題，但沒有了Malcolm，他們仍然少了一個無法衡量的創意
來源。
更簡單的嘗試，或許是製作精選輯，或一套專輯。想像他們完成了一個後續或附加專輯
會比較容易一些。他們也有可能是要做一個Rock or Bust相關的特別專輯，有可能是長
期傳言的芝加哥Wrigley Field演唱會專輯。從2011的Live at River Plate專輯後，
AC/DC還沒發行另一個演唱會現場專輯。

2) If they returned to the road, would Brian Johnson be able to safely join
them?

Johnson's sudden departure didn't signal the end of his career. Stephen
Ambrose almost immediately contacted him to discuss newly developed in-ear
monitors that the inventor said could help Johnson return without risking
further hearing loss — and Johnson says he came away "amazed." In the
meantime, he never actually retired: Johnson has since appeared on new
records by Jim Breuer and Greg Billings, and he's even returned to the stage.
That dovetails with Johnson's comments when his hearing issue was first
revealed in 2016: "While the outcome is uncertain, my attitude is
optimistic." Perhaps Ambrose's "breakthrough ADEL hearing technology" – or
something like it – could play a role in getting Johnson back on the concert
trail with AC/DC. Then again, there's always the prospect of Brian Johnson
working as their studio singer, while Axl Rose – in a nod to the Beach Boys'
approach with Brian Wilson – handles road duties.

第二、如果他們又開始巡演，Brian能安全的加入他們嗎？

Brian的突然離去並不代表他職業生涯的結束。Stephen Ambrose聯繫Brian有關新的入耳型
監測儀，可以幫助Brian在沒有失去聽力的風險下回歸，而Brian則說他很「驚訝」。而且
Brian也沒有完全退休，他也在Jim Breuer和Greg Billings的錄製裡出現，甚至要回歸舞
台。這個跡象在2016，Brian的聽力問題浮現時，他說的話中可以推測：「當結果仍不確定
時，我的態度都很樂觀。」或許Ambrose的「突破性ADEL聽覺技術」或這類的東西，可以在
Brian回到AC/DC的巡演中扮演重要的角色。
一樣的，一直有一種期待是讓Brian擔任AC/DC的錄音室歌手，Axl則擔任演唱會歌手，就像
Beach Boys跟Brian Wilson一樣。

3) With Cliff Williams' retirement, who would play bass?

Williams remains retired, if the photographic evidence from Vancouver is to
be believed. And his absence isn't too surprising, considering the finality
of his goodbye message. "I just need family time now, to just chill out and
not do this," he said in 2016. "It’s just – I'm just ready to get off the
road, really, and do what I do." So, who could potentially replace a guy who
held down the bottom end for nearly four decades? There's Larry Van Kriedt,
if Angus is ready to add another original member the mix. There's also Mark
Evans, who was with AC/DC from 1975–77. His arrival would return all of the
living members of AC/DC's T.N.T., Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Let There
Be Rock lineup.

On the other hand, they could continue to plum the Guns N' Roses lineup by
adding Duff McKagan or Tommy Stinson – and either of those bassists would
mesh well with Rose, should he return for live duty. (Down side: If Rose and
McKagan both joined, there would be more original Guns N' Roses members in
this band than AC/DC co-founders.) Of course, Geezer Butler, Michael Anthony
and Geddy Lee are free these days. Butler toured with AC/DC as a member of
Black Sabbath in 1977, and Lee is in Canada, too. Stone Temple Pilots bassist
Robert DeLeo always seems to have time for side projects, from Delta Deep to
the Hollywood Vampires. Then there's the do-anything Dave Grohl; he played
bass on the Foo Fighters' debut and, more recently, on 2013's Sound City
Players tour.

第三、Cliff Williams退休了，誰來彈貝斯？

如果溫哥華的照片可以相信，那Cliff看起來還在退休狀態。而且從他的離別信息末段來
看，他的缺席也很正常。「我現在只需要家庭，需要放鬆一下，而不是繼續做這個(指樂
團)。我準備好要離開這條路，並做我該做的事。」
所以說，誰能取代這個將近四十年來，負責低音的人呢？如果Angus想要再加一個元老成
員，有Larry Van Kriedt。Marks Evans也是個人選，他在1975-1977年的時候待在AC/DC
之中，他如果加入，將代表著T.N.T.、下流痞子、搖滾蔓延時期，所有還活著的成員的大
團聚。
另一方面，他們也可以延續GNR的陣容，讓Duff McKagan或Tommy Stinson加入。這兩位應
該都能跟Axl順利合作。(如果Axl跟McKagan都加入，那麼元老GNR的成員將會比元老AC/DC
的成員還多喔)當然，Greezer Butler、Michael Anthony和Geddy Lee也都可行，Butler
身為黑色安息日的成員，曾在1977年的時候跟AC/DC一起巡演，而Lee則是人也在加拿大。
Stone Temple Pilots的貝斯手Robert DeLeo好像隨時都可以接個副業，從Delta Deep到
Hollywood Vampires。還有一個什麼都能做的Dave Grohl，他在Foo Fighters和2013的
Sound City Players巡迴中彈奏貝斯。






所以...真的會有AC/DC新專輯嗎？
