News Confirmed!

AC/DC officially announced the name of their new album, and that's "Black Ice". Fans will get their hands on it on 20th of October. But until then we will enjoy the single "Rock 'n Roll Train", which comes out on August, 28 (video available in September).

It seems that the album's cover will be this one:

We're still waiting for the tour dates. AC/DC will probably start the rockin' in October, probably November until sometime in 2009. Hell, after a 8 years break I hope their batteries are fully charged. I'd kill to see Angus doing his duck-walk one more time!

And let's not forget about the track listing:

1. Rock ’n Roll Train
2. Skies On Fire
3. Big Jack
4. Anything Goes
5. War Machine
6. Smash N Grab
7. Spoilin’ For A Fight
8. Wheels
9. Decibel
10. Stormy May Day
11. She Likes Rock N Roll
12. Money Made
13. Rock N Roll Dream
14. Rocking All The Way
15. Black Ice

Wal-Mart launched an advertising campaign, so keep an eye on this page, song previews are coming soon!

‘Black Ice’ will be sold exclusively through Wal-Mart in the USA for $11.88. It will be distributed through Sony for the rest of the world.

About the 'Rock 'n Roll Train' video:

The video itself takes place with the band playing in front of an industrial factory backdrop although plenty of green screen footage was also shot during the afternoon. The sheer energy created in the room though was something to truly behold. Awe-struck at the fact that the band were literally within touching distance, both audience and band were firing on all cylinders. Angus, dressed in a navy blue school uniform, and Brian Johnson in a cut off Harley Davidson shirt were particularly inspired, whipping everyone into a furious frenzy.

After finishing their final take, the band all went to the front of the stage to shake hands and sign autographs for everybody and in doing so also let slip a few details of what to expect from AC/DC in the future. 'Black Ice' will feature 15 tracks with Johnson describing them to people as "14 songs that are all as good as this one ('Rock N' Roll Train')". He also said that Europe would see the band sooner rather than later when the band tour the album.

Flick of the Switch 25th Anniversary

Twenty-five years (and two days) ago, on August 15th 1983, AC/DC released its ninth album, Flick of the Switch. Although many people consider this album a disappointment, it's a "must have/listen" around true AC/DC lovers. So shove the CD into your computer and let the power rise one more time!

"Freeze", said the man cruisin' the beat
"You get your hands up and spread your feet"
"Don't you move an inch", I heard him say
"Or you'll be doin' time until the judgement day"

Nervous Shakedown
Give it a listen!

See an AC/DC Dress Rehearsal

Dress up as Angus and you could win a once in a lifetime trip to see the band

AC/DC are kicking off their comeback at Reading Festival (August 22-24) by offering fans a unique chance to see a one-off dress rehearsal from the band in the US.

However to qualify fans must dress up as the band's guitarist Angus Young.

Two giant billboards are being erected at the Reading site which fans in fancy dress must have their photo taken in front of. The snaps should be uploaded to Acdcrocks.com/uk.

The best "Angus" will win a two-person trip to the US to see the band perform the exclusive gig.

AC/DC New Video

Yesterday (15/08/2008), AC/DC finished their work on the new video, rumoured to be called "Runaway Train". 150 lucky people (or more) were there for the whole day with AC/DC, probably a few feet away from them. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people over the internet spreading false rumours about the song. Actually, there are so many that you don't know what to think anymore, whether they're true or false.
Anyhow, I bet it's gonna be one hell of a song.

First !

In the beginning,
Back in 1955,
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive!

AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
Lyrics: Bon Scott

As you may have already heard, AC/DC will release a new album in late October. Great news, right :D ? The boys will then embark on a major world tour (dates and places are not officially confirmed). Being excited about this news , I decided to create this blog. That and because I have too much free time :) .
Nevertheless, this place will not serve only for posting news about the band and their new album. It's a place for fans to find some cool stuff about AC/DC. Anything from You Tube vids to stories or articles, websites or forums, new or old. It doesn't matter. Even if I find a cool pic of Angus doing his trademark duck-walk, it will be posted here!

That being said, enjoy the blog!
