Since I wrote to Interscope/Geffen/Guns & Roses Management & Mister Axl Rose himself, I was waiting for an answer ant then would have put it on my blog. Result? None! Why I wrote? As I said last time I suspect more and more products to be fakes. Last examples: Appetite Thai Cassette and a very nice Cd & Cassette of Chinese Democracy from Indonesia; Cd is surely right but the cassette is definitively fake. And more and more things come like that, mostly from Asia and also with acetates promo. So? So I thought the only way to be certain is to have an official biography. Even just to write wich country is officialy allpwed to print or manufactured.....but sorry: no answer at all. They seem not to care if we buy fake instead of official on wich they gain few bucks! I was crazy to think that piracy + fakes were chasing by Universal. I won't let it down: this week I send my letter again.....and if you agree with my wondering, please write.

So as I was waiting for this answer back, few new titles arrived home! I also apologized because last time I put a japanese promo  picture without reference.....don't be scared, I've got it! I'm also lost inside Chinese Usa Cd, Lp...got all but got to take a look to what I already present. Anyway, this time a lot of news from Chinese to Appetite, Greatest Hits to Lies, Cassette to Lp, Promo....Even some fake (I really think it is!!!!) from Bohémia for distribution in Ukraine by Tomato label!! Isn't it nice?? Look at that:

Ok!! I stop with that! So let' go for Thailand, Mexico, Usa, Brasil, Japan, New Zealand, Argentina, Israel, Australia, Korea........................A real world tour specialy prepared by me! just for you! Just a word also about dates: I said I give the date of released which is write on the product. For example: the last serie of vinyl for the 60th Vinyl Anniversary! We all know it just have been printed in 2008 but on the record it is still write 1987! Nothing about 2008 or I didn't see it and please let me know. About Chinese product, there is a date like 08.11.19 on Obi and I think this is the date of re-printing....will ask my friend Ben in Tokyo! Anyway, once again, we could be help by this official biography from Universal/Geffen/Interscope/MygrandMa.....And if you need information about a product, just ask I'll take a look.

Once again AC/DC is back! Wesnesday 25th of February, Fred is seated in Bercy, Paris. After a first part by the gentle "the answer", a super cool cartoon is on the big screen: the rock n' roll train is on fire, rolling fast to hit the town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IT'S HIGH VOLTAGE ONCE AGAIN!!!! A little bit of my story: I came to metal through.....KISS and with the world famous "I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN YOU".......I succed to buy the Album (Dynasty) and the story was on....Quite a little time after came what is to my mind THE ROCK ALBUM of the 20th century: BACK IN BLACK. The story of the band, the drama of Bon Scott, the bells tolling......everything was on fro a great rock n' roll story....and I fall in love with AC/DC, buying all albums and surfing on tracks of fire: high voltage, dirty deeds..., highway to hell, problem child, let there be rock (my prefered), overdose, whole lotta rosie, touch too much, the jack......all the songs where so greats. And do you know what?? AC/DC opened me the doors of the Blues music.....the real one of muddy water and brothers....That's another story. Why I didn't collect AC/DC? I was too young and to the difference of Guns, I Didn't really get into the lyrics but was explose by the riffs! And I'm still! I consider AC/DC as the stallion of Rock & Roll. That's not Pop but fuckin Rock. I even wouldn't speak about Metal.

Once again the concert was great. I saw AC/DC few times in my life and they always gave me my money back (don't know if the expression is good!). Of course you know what you're going to live and hear and you won't have suprise......but the show is fantastic. For once we don't give a s***t of the age, of the apperance of the players.....they don't need bottox, they don't need liftings, they don't need to break everything in their hotels, fights in bars, be with pussy dolls, show tattoos on whole body (I don't say all that for Guns who doean't need that either)............they just play loud their music and we love that: I pray god to give them long life and energy to come and play rock and roll for us. It reminds me Mister Chuck Berry, 82 years old. Saw him last year and I promise you that I had a tear falling listening his guitar and voice....Sometimes music sounds like eternity! And do you know what: my son is 13 and is now listening AC/DC all day long!!!! And dream about being at Paris Stade the France on the 12 of June!!! So I search 3 seats if you have an idea!

And really that was Fuc**** Great! Good times, excellent music and delicious beers! Will put a little picture of the programm for the blog. So, what do you think of my new "Marcus section"?
