AC/DC have a no limits attitude when planning their stage props

Wed, 18 May 2011

Known for their elaborate stage shows and props the band have no limits when they make plans for their tours. 

Anyone who attended last summer's Download Festival will know the band even insisted on their own stage for their Friday night headlining spot to be able to set up their stage show, which included a huge derailed train and an enormous blow up doll.

"This is rock and roll, there's no such word as 'no'. It was guitarists Malcolm and Angus (Young's) idea about the train, initially just trying to think of a train, and just say to somebody 'Right, we want a train'." says singer Brian Johnson recently in an interview with Absolute Radio DJ Ben Jones.

Guitarist Angus young then added, "Yeah, I mean, you can dream what you want, but something's got to be practical, because sometimes you can come up with great ideas and you put them into practice and you go 'Oh s**t, that looks naff.'" 

Before Johnson continued to agree,  "Yeah, but we did do it and it really was sensational, that train, and it never screwed up, it was always bang on."

The band were being interviewed by the radio station to promote their new Live DVD "LIVE AT THE RIVERPLATE" which was released earlier this month (with the world premiere being held in London).
