If you listen carefully to the opening sounds, you’ll hear a distinct BO’B “signature” that is present on his work with the Stone Temple Pilots.

I want the new AC/DC album to kick serious ass and I hope they have a great double meaning in the title and on several tracks. But, I have to question why AC/DC needs a “celebrity” producer. Those that actually listened to the last album heard some great work.

Sure there are plenty of crappy albums on there, but there are plenty of good ones too.

I think maybe you fundamentally misunderstand the job of producer. Here's a hint - most producers neither <i>write</i> nor <i>perform</i> the albums they produce. That's like saying it's the cinematographer's fault that Lindsay Lohan can't act.</p> <p>Oh, and also - calling certain albums by Train, Papa Roach and Incubus their "lamest" betrays a woeful lack of knowledge (for a music writer) of just how lame those bands' entire catalogs really are.</p> <p>P.S.

Feel free to freak out and clobber him now.</p> Looking at O’Brien’s work on Wikipedia, I can’t help but wonder why Mr. Miccio here has such a hardon for O’Brien.

Anthony – do you really think it’s O’Brien’s fault that Audioslave (or Limp Bizkit, or The Offspring) sucks? I think maybe you fundamentally misunderstand the job of producer.

But the title must still be a dick joke.</p> Here’s hoping for a concept album where Brian Johnson reads out the letters of Bon Scott while Angus plays a one-note guitar solo.
