AC\DC announce new album

[Kristy]

The bill could be:

Quarterflash
Chilliwack

Um, who?

Ac/Dc without Malcolm seems about as pointless as the Stones without Keef. Especially since their roles in the bands are pretty much the same.

I hate to sound like you but AC/DC without Bon Scott was pointless as anything more than a cover band anyway. I thought they were pretty decent with Brian at first but then I started noticing every song sounded about the same as the others from Back In Black on.

[DLR Bridge]

Um, who?

T'was my point to burry Hags beneath some '80s schlock.

Has anyone seen that post at the VHND about the anniversary of the VH parachute-in show at Anaheim? Hagar was ahead of them on that bill. Priceless how dismissive critics were of his blasé nothingness music and show.

[DLR Bridge]

The thing about AC/DC is that I won't look forward to this and I know I won't particularly enjoy it, but I'll still buy it nonetheless....

You must not have kids yet, am I right?

I'm lucky if I can pick up something I want these days, much less, something I know I might not like.

[Angel]

Hmmm. The one I'm thinking of had Gone in the chorus, but that wasn't it.

My Girl (gone gone gone).

"Gone gone gone she's been gone so long she's been gone gone gone gone so long". Repeat...

Chilliwack were a Canadian band from the early 80s. Named after their home town which is about a half hour east of Vancouver BC. Heard them a lot on CFOX FM, which I used to pick up easily on the radio back then, even though I'm 200 miles or so south of there.

Maybe early 80's for you...

I consider them a 70's band. Their debut album was in 1970. Lot of great childhood memories in those songs. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

The bill could be:

Steve Perry
Billy Squire
Donnie Iris
Saga
Loverboy
Quarterflash
Chilliwack
Sammy Haggar

As long as Hagar opens, so we all can show up late.

[DLR Bridge]

Yeah, that was the plan.

I had to back track quite aways to see how Chilliwack got into an AC/DC thread. I heard the first song (My Girl) before but I couldn't have named the band who played it. They have what I call the MTV sound. The songs sound ok if you're distracted by the videos but they don't cut it by themselves.

Really, they were around that long? Of course I didn't own an FM radio until about 1977 (just in time to discover punk rock, Van Halen and - in interest of the topic - Ac/Dc) so I wouldn't have heard anything they did before then anyway. And I don't think I had my Frankenstein antenna setup that picked up CFOX until a couple years after that. So for some reason, I always thought Chilliwack and Loverboy started out around the same time.

I have learned something here today. 'Chilliwack' are probably the most retarded talentless band I never knew existed.

Black Ice is ok, not sure we needed part deux.

[cadaverdog]

'Chilliwack' are probably the most retarded talentless band I never knew existed.

There's probably thousands of retarded talentless band you never knew existed. Have you ever heard of The GOAT? The Goat makes Chilliwack look like The Beatles.

[Hardrock69]

That's it then.

This is going to be their last tour.

I will have to see multiple shows.

The MTV years were close to the end. I remember when those songs came out and wondering wtf...They were a 70's band... "Crazy Talk" and " Laying in the Arms of Mary" were staples at every high school dance...

"At their best, Chilliwack was the finest Canadian rock band, outrocking BTO and outwriting Burton Cummings. But a lack of consistency kept it from international success."

[DLR Bridge]

The same old chords and slow boots'n pants'n boots'n pants drum beat just don't do it for me anymore. I like their more riff oriented tunes like "That's The Way I Wanna Rock 'N' Roll".
