Don't Blow Your Mind and No Price Tag kinda sound like a bargain basement version of The Monkees

Did he play on any of the hits?

He wrote, played drums on and sang Alternate Title (or Randy Scouse Git as it was titled in the US) which was a number 2 hit single in the UK. It wasn't released as a single in the US.

I wasn't being funny.

Sorry if posted already but NWAC is premiering the first song from the album tonight!

Not sure I can get here. Look forward to hearing what people think.

You can download the NWAC App if you have the means.

He'll be playing 'School's Out/Brick in the wall' so don`t get too excited.

Why do you say this if you haven't heard it? If it is a studio recording it should be of interest especially if Neal and Dennis are on there. If it is a live cut then I am with you.

Just that out of all the songs on the album surely another version of SO is the least interesting?

Not saying is is of NO interest, but we have heard Neal and Dennis (if they are on that track) play SO a million times. Would rather hear something "new".

Of course they are aiming to build up some momentum for the album so aren`t going to wheel out the "big names" straight away when whatever he plays will be on Youtube within the hour.

How do you know there are no big names on the track?

According to someone on Twitter who heard the song premiere (Australian airing of NWAC), this version of SO/Brick has "Alice, Brian Johnson, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry, Chuck Garric and Matt Sorum on this one."

Cool. Thank you.
As I say it's due up in the UK shortly.
Good to see Chuck made it onto the album at least.

I still don`t recall where it was stated Neal is on it at all. Someone just seemed to assume as Dennis said he recorded something that Neal would be on it as well. Could just be me not remembering though.

Sounds similar to the current live version to be honest, but with Johnson singing the second verse and chorus with AC. Not quite the same arrangement, but with the same bit of "brick" included in the middle.

Well that was a waste of space - karaoke crock rock; with squealer Johnson sounding like a stuck pig. Pointless.

Yikes. Well I guess it's only upwards from here.

Hey guys, it's up on iTunes with 3 songs available.
