I want to buy faux-vintage heavy metal clothing because AC/DC is a cool legendary band. I remember when the DJ at my brother's wedding put 'I Shook You All Night Long' on I was like this: AHHHHHHHHHHH!
If AC/DC was still alive I would totally go see them in concert. They are probably my favorite band ever to come from England except The Rolling Stones. Macca is my favorite Rolling Stone. Wanted to go see him at Coachella last year but it was sold out. I actually got a Rolling Stone shirt from Old Navy to. Want to kiss the tongue.
The first thing I thought of when I saw these new AC/DC'Lock up your daughters' Converse was my girlfriends dad's face. Yeah, I don't want to wear these over there. But anyways, AC/DC and Metallica have partnered with Converse on some new shoes. The AC/DC shoes are based off the 'Highway To Hell' and 'For Those About To Rock' albums, and the Metalica shoes are based off of 'Ride The Lightening'. They're about $50 bucks.
Tickets for AC/DC's current tour are rediculously expensive. Most of the shows sold out in minutes and the only tickets available are ususally from scalpers. But AC/DC fans aren't your average metalhead. They're crafty metalheads! Check out the ticket above. A couple of fans hopped on their scanner and tried their hand at pirating seats.
A bunch of never-before-seen AC/DC photographs have been unveiled at a gallery in London. Proud Galleries in Camden is displaying 'AC/DC: Let There Be Rock', a collection of photographs taken by ledgendary rock photographer Phillip Morris. The photographs are of the original AC/DC line-up - with Bon Scott on vocals before he died from choking on his own puke in his car.
Here's a few of my favorites. If you're an AC/DC fan you'll definitely want to check out the whole gallery.
I love AC/DC, but damn they stock their dressing rooms like a bunch of pontzy librarians. My Trader Joe's list is more fun. Way more fun! I guess they are on tour all year and it's probably a little draining. The Smoking Gun has snatched up one of AC/DC's tour riders. AC/DC specifically requests oxygen tanks, tea and plants. They do request five ashtrays and a 12-pack of Heineken, but the twelver must only be stocked "15 minutes after AC/DC goes on stage." For some reason I have a feeling that is a rule that came from lessons learned. Here's a some of the crap they want:
AC/DC will require 3 dressing rooms
Two (2) Live potted trees, height depending on ceiling
VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING:
* 5 LARGE ASHTRAYS (GLASSS ONLY) EACH IN ALL THREE BAND DRESSING ROOMS
1 BOX OF TWINNINGS ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA - RED BOX W/ 50 BAGS
50 PACKETS OF SUGAR
20 REAL COFFEE MUGS
1 CASE OF BOTTLED HEINEKEN (NOTE: NO BEER IN DRESSING ROOM PRIOR TO SHOW) PLEASE STOCK BEER IN DRESSING ROOM 15 MINUTES AFTER AC/DC GOES ONSTAGE
ORGANIC CORN CHIPS, TIN OF PEANUTS, FRESH POPCORN, BOWL OF WHOLE FRUiT INCLUDING BANANAS, SELECTION OF IMPORTED CHEESE AND CRACKERS
That title is all you really need to say when mentioning these guys. Actually, it should be more like 'AC/DC!!!'
Rolling Stone magazine sucks balls, but they do have good writers and when they actually write about music, I love to read it. And maybe, if they got that 'My Campaign Memories' and 'Mexico At War' sh!t off the cover I'd rip this thing off and post it on my wall. Probably not, but still - I want a metal cover! I used to have a killer Axl Rose one from Spin but my mom made me take it down. That's BS. Anyways - yeah so AC/DC is in Rolling Stone. Yeah!
I still haven't bought it because I have no idea where Wal-Mart is, but AC/DC's new album is one the top of the charts in 29 countries. As in, almost 30. The 29 countries Black Ice is numero uno are: US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, Argentina, Japan, Australia, Belgium, Finland, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, and a bunch others that I guess are too small for the news guy to include in the list.
Black Ice sold almost 800,000 albums in the US in the first week. And the album is only available at Wal-Mart for some lame reason.
I still need to buy the new Kings of Leon, AC/DC, Guns 'n' Roses, The Killers and so many others. No wonder I just illegally download everything. Jeez!
Ok so this is the weirdest Angus Young interview I've ever seen. Actually it's the weirdest interview of anybody I've ever seen. Aside from the crap editing job, there's a Japanese guy speaking the whole time. And Angus listens up like he can speak Japanese. Uhh, huh? And it's not like Angus speaks the bmost clear English. So the whole interview is like:
Japanese guy: blah blah blah (in Japanese)
Angus: Ah eh yeah mate so iz like da best album we'z eva made.
Japanese guy: argaerg rga ergaerg Ashee Deshee
Angus: Ehhuh wit AC/DC ahh yeh dats AC/DC and we'r gonna blast yuh balls off ah.
