ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 07/09/2002

Take the best songs AC/DC ever recorded, strip out Malcolm Young's rhythm guitar under Angus's solos and you get Roadsaw - a raunchy, Marshall amp powered quartet. Guitarist Ian Ross powers this quartet with the right blend of fuzzy distortion and interesting solos.

The song titles on Rawk N' Roll may remind you of a 80s band with its cocky disposition, such as "Your Own Private Slice Of Hell" and the raunchy instrumental "That's Mr. Motherfucker To You" but under the posing, you get quite a mix.

The aforementioned instrumental is probably left best as an instrumental as it allows the organ of Eric Welsh to add a new element to the band, which I like. The solo by Ross on this song fits the song well.my_heart_sings_the_harmony_web_ad_alt_250

Overall, I'd like to see more distinction between the tempo during the middle section of the CD. Too many AC/DC-mid-tempo-"Back In Black" paced rockers in a row.
