Actually, Phil Rudd is an Aussie. And Cliff Williams is English too.

It is a total outrage that there is no Scottish date. Irrespective of where the band members come from. Scotland was good enough to play in 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 86, 91, 96, 00.....2009? Is it to do with venue capaciry? All the gigs they have announced are over 10k. I expect to see 2 London shows though. Just you watch!

No Scottish Gig, it is bordering on Racism as Kev P said ACDC have been happy in all their other tours to take the cash of the tight Scotsmen. But maybe they think that Scottishmen wont pay £50 to see them, however would have been nice to get the opportunity. Or maybe ACDC are just being sneaky trying to get the jocks to sell out some of the less popular shows by making them travel. ACDC obviously have no green concerns (except the colour of their cash)bad for the environment as well, as all the mad acdc jocks are going to have to travel by plane, train and automobile (John Candy Style) putting the carbon foot print of the scale for these shows. Angus and Malcolm obviously ashamed of their Scottish past, it disgusts me!

I logged onto ticketline at about 9.55 and just clicked refresh until they became available. Didn't have any trouble ordering whatsoever. Guess i was just lucky!

What's this piss about 'tight' Scotsmen. I keep a £1000 gig fund every year which takes me to shows around Britain. I have 3 kids as well and the older 2, ages 16 and 12 very often come with me.

Oh, I forgot to say how angry I am about the 'British' tour. No Scottish date really is surprising but I do believe they will add one somewhere (I hope...)
Failing that myself and the boys will be on our travels again...

okay, this is the first time iv had a rant about my fav band. BUT WHY ON EARTH ARNT AC/DC PLAYING NEWCASTLE, BRIAN JOHNSON IS FROM HERE!!!!!!!!! i mean, we have the MRA arena, which holds 15,000 for f***s sake, if AC/DC announce a date here theyd sell out in 5 mins easily!!!! i just think its a disgrace how brian treats his homefans like this. what really p****s me off though, is watching vids of the US leg on youtube, and watching the crowd standing on the floor just stading there,not even jumping or anything!!!!!!!! just makes me want to vomit knowing that those people are seeing AC/DC live, while iv been let down big time. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IF BRIAN BY SOME CHANCE YOU ARE READING THIS OR ANYONE WHO HAS LINKS TO THE BAND PLEASE BRING AC/DC TO NEWCASTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
