AC/DC are reportedly still at least a "year or two" away from releasing a new album, says guitarist Malcolm Young. In an interview with Classic Rock, Young says that singer Brian Johnson may have been too optimistic when he claimed that they would be finished sooner.
"You know what Brian's like. He just says things and then walks away. It'll be a little while - a year or two anyway. I've been doing some jamming on some song ideas but I do that all the time, as do the rest of the band," Young explained.
The band's last album was 2008's Black Ice and they released a live DVD AC/DC: Live At River Plate last year.
He continued: "We are still working. But we had a long rest between Stiff Upper Lip and Black Ice, so I think we need a couple of years to recuperate and work on it a bit more."
