I only care about 3 things in 2019
NEW AC/DC (confidence: high, reports from Canada)
NEW CHEAP TRICK (confidence: high, single has been released)
NEW ROLLING STONES (confidence: not high, but they've been recording)
agreed.
Cheap Tricks last 2 albums We're All Right and Bang Zoom Crazy...Hello had 2 or 3 solid CT songs. Felt like vintage 70s and 80s CT. Ditto for the new single.
AC/DC - surprised to hear Brian Johnson is back at least for studio stuff. Apparently the album is a tribute to Malcolm Young - based on some riffs he had laid down before he passed. This could go either way.
Stones - I mean if we get anything to add to their catalogue it's a bonus at this point. I'll check it out but not excited yet.
Others to look for:
Pearl Jam - first new album i 6 years
Whitesnake - with David Coverdale back in the fold. May release
Metallica - Live and Acoustic should be worth checking out
rumored:
Guns n Roses - we'll see I'm highly skeptical
Megadeath - also tenuous
Scorpions - also just rumored as possible this year
