AC/DC Go All Eastern and Mystical
By Jethro Jake
IN A new change, rock band AC/DC’s new album features blues riffs mixed with Eastern philosophy and the Kama Sutra.
The album, For Those About To Meditate We Salute You, features reworked AC/DC songs such as “Good Deeds Done Cheap”, “Highway To Enlightenment”, “You Chakra-ed All Night Long” and the classic “Chanting Mantras Ain’t Noise Pollution”.
“We always sung about sex, booze and good times, now we’re about tantric sex, calm thoughts and vegetarian meals,” said guitarist Angus Young.
He said the band embraced eastern philosophy after receiving thoughts “from beyond, outta’ this world” while watching Mario Van Peebles declare himself the “Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rollah” in the Clint Eastwood movie Heartbreak Ridge.
“We were pretty loaded at the time,” Mr Young admitted. “But that’s changed now – we’re all clean.”
The band claims it channelled the spirit of former leader singer, the late Bon Scott, in all night meditation sessions.
“Yeah, he told us we were centring the free energy of mystical yo-yo freebasing,” said Mr Young.“We had no f**king idea what he was talking about but it was a big head rush and we were high for ages.”
