It had been predictable since he fell a few weeks ago, but Chris Slade's announcement to stop playing the drums is sad news. Chris had already had a stroke a few years ago, but that hadn't stopped the courageous drummer. Thanks to Chris for his music and his kindness. Thanks also for visiting the AC/DC Esplanade in Namur in october 2023

I remember it like it was yesterday….

It was AC/DC’s 1980 concert film “ Let There Be Rock” that truly introduced me to the raw, primal power of rock and roll performance for the first time. Sure, I had Beatles records, I had Kiss posters, I had an old, broken acoustic guitar with a few strings that I would pretend to play in front of the hallway closet mirror when no one was home, but it wasn’t until that fateful night at the tender age of eleven years old that my best friend, Larry Hinkle and I went downtown to the Uptown theater in Washington D.C. and actually witnessed it on full display.
Watching from the edge of my seat the entire time, it was like nothing I had ever experienced before. How could five human beings conjure and possess such intensity onstage with just their instruments, and do so with such swagger, such groove….and such danger? My mind was blown. Melted. Changed forever. And my heart felt like it might explode with passion and inspiration.
From that night on, the bar was set exceptionally high. If you were a drummer and you didn’t have to change your snare drum between songs from pummeling it to splinters, you weren’t hitting it hard enough. If you were a guitarist and you didn’t need oxygen on the side of the stage between solos, you weren’t playing hard enough. If you were a frontman in a band and you weren’t drenched in sweat by the end of the show, you weren’t giving the audience what they deserve (All of these moments can be witnessed in this legendary film)
It’s safe to say that If it weren’t for this movie, this band, and their decades of timeless anthems, I surely would have approached my life in music from a different perspective. So, if you have ever seen me beat the living s**t out of a drum set, or run from side to side of a stage drenched in sweat after hours of hammering my guitar to pieces, you’ll now understand why. All I have ever wanted was to someday live up to the awe inspiring fury of AC/DC, live onstage (an impossible task, by the way)
And now, for the first time since that fateful night in 1980, my band Foo Fighters will share a stage with the gentlemen who are single handedly responsible for my determination to give every audience everything I have, every night. This is literally a dream come true. So…..if you want blood….you’ve got it.
Let there be fu***ng rock, St Louis. See you September 8th.

With the stone finally arriving at the Design Stone workshop in Libramont, Anthony Cognaux and his team set the start date for carving the Brian Johnson statue. This date had to coincide with the schedules of the five team members. Each member played a crucial role at every stage of the artwork's creation, so it was essential to ensure everyone was available and not on leave or vacation to avoid delaying the work of the artisans who would be taking turns.

The date was set for the end of January 2023. The local television station, TV Lux, was there that day.

On January 31, 2023, for the very first time, the national television network RTBF took an interest in our project and unveiled it to all of Belgium during its 1 p.m. news broadcast.

Thanks to Nicolas Lefèvre & Jean-Yves Legendre (TV Lux)
