Report: AC/DC Musical 'In The Pipeline'
- July 11, 2008

According to the weekly UK-based celebrity and pop music newsletter Popbitch, a musical featuring the hits of AC/DC "may be in the pipeline."
If the report is to be believed, the Australian band's songs will be combined with the Mark Wahlberg movie "Rock Star" for a theater production.
Other groups who have had their back catalogs used in musicals include QUEEN, ABBA and MADNESS.
AC/DC's new album may be titled "Black Ice", according to Australian web site Undercover News. That title is apparently one of three that the band is considering for its first album of new material in eight years, with "Runaway Train" another possible contender. A release date has yet to be announced for the disc, but it could arrive as early as October.
The new album will follow 2000's "Stiff Upper Lip". It was recorded at a Canadian studio with PEARL JAM and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN producer Brendan O'Brien.
Sony BMG recently revealed that the disc will be sold exclusively through Wal-Mart stores, which has caused controversy with critics and fans.

As long as ANYTHING Bon is NOT even considered or mentioned in this, fine with many of us,.....no disrespect to the boys, I'm just loyal to that era, period.
Back in Black, they can hit the sack with this one 'deal'.

as a loyal ac/dc fan I love everything they do but in no way is a musical about them a good idea. as for the wal-mart plan I have nothing against saving 5 bucks when it comes out. hopefuly it will include some bonus stuff along with it. and as being a fan of the band I can't help but wonder how anyone who calls themself a fan can say they just like the bonn era?bib was only one of the greatest records ever made and the follwing ones were outstanding as well. plus brian does a great job of singing the bonn songs although I wish they would focus more on the overlooked songs from flick of the switch and fly on the wall. maybe they can put out some live versions as b-sides to any singles off the new one instead of another live version of bib.

a walmart deal and a musical are the natural progression of a band that hasn't been relevant in about 25 years. when celine dion is doing your songs, it's time to hang it up.
