Product Details

The roots of Electric lay in another album entirely, Peace, which was recorded with Love producer {|Steve Brown|} in a series of sessions that the band found increasingly pressure-filled and fraught with tension. A chance meeting with Def Jam supremo Rick Rubin at an American awards ceremony turned out to be the charm, resulting in the saucy chest-baring stomp of {|Electric|}. Rubin chucked all the old recordings for a series of new sessions, stripping everything down and essentially transforming Billy Duffy into the logical successor to {|AC/DC|}'s {|Angus Young|}. Thankfully Ian Astbury decided not to become {|Brian Johnson|}, and while his macho yells can't help being cartoonish, he's clearly having fun throughout.
