They need an engineer that won't make it sound sterile like everything since the Back in Black. That man is Billy Anderson.
Or, a collaboration between Anderson, Steve Albini, and Lemmy. Then AC/DC will rock as it should.

Take a listen to a Brendan O produced song by Soulhat: [music.aol.com]

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. It's a long list, and - surprise surprise - I'll bet O'Brien is one out of, oh 5 billion or so people on the planet who have sometimes done jobs they don't like.

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. Here's a hint - most producers neither write nor perform the albums they produce. That's like saying it's the cinematographer's fault that Lindsay Lohan can't act.

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.S. Springsteen fans - the albums he's talking about are "The Rising", "Devils and Dust" and "Magic". Feel free to freak out and clobber him now.

But the title must still be a dick joke.

I'd hate to hear AC/DC sound like one of his Shania records.

It could work. And if not, Mutt has a place with Shania in New Zealand, maybe he can make a quick flight over to Oz and try and recapture some magic?
