Australian metal giants AC/DC will perform Tuesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.

AC/DC is dragging some seriously silly stage props around the world for its latest tour, all straight from the center of a male teenage mind.

A demonic, fireball-spewing runaway steam train; cannons; and a fat, inflated comic-book whore — who puffs up and wobbles during “Whole Lotta Rosie” — were all present and politically incorrect during the show as staged in London in April. The tour lands in North America Tuesday with a concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.

In London, guitarist Angus Young, 54, still sported the school uniform adopted as his trademark stage wear in the early 1970s. He shed his blazer, shirt and shorts in an onstage striptease, generating plenty of screams from the female contingent of the audience.

Most of the 20,000-strong crowd were not there to see Young just in his boxers, with the band’s logo emblazoned across his buttocks. However amusing, such antics are distractions from the real business of hard rock ’n’ roll, the sort of thing that has moved more than 200 million albums by the Australian band.

AC/DC fired out 19 classics over the two-hour set, drawing from all phases of its 36-year career. Its rock easily eclipsed the stage show. It is a safe bet that the Black Ice tour will continue this way as the band visits North America.

Each song has a base of cast-iron blues and dirty grind delivered by a tight rhythm section and a stack of Marshall amplifiers. Young chops out riffs as basic as breeze blocks and squeals through the musically superfluous notes of the obligatory virtuosic solos.

Lyrical concerns swagger between the ludicrous and the inappropriately unreconstructed. Robert Johnson reputedly sold his soul for his blues prowess. AC/DC’s vocalist Brian Johnson uses his holler, during the filthy blues of “The Jack,” to ponder sexual disease, pausing only for images of female audience members to be displayed on the giant stage screens.

AC/DC excel at being AC/DC, delivering uncomplicated hard rock. Only the plodding title track from 2008’s Black Ice album causes a surge toward the bars.

Innovation would be betrayal: AC/DC is a living part of rock history. As such, AC/DC is tremendous fun and deserves to be seen, and enjoyed, in concert by all music fans. But once will probably be enough.

AC/DC’s first North American show is 6 p.m. Tuesday at Gillette Stadium, 1 Patriot Place, Foxboro. (401) 331-2211, www.ticketmaster.com. $37.50-$92.
