AC/DC Announces 'Give It All You Got' Contest - Sep. 25, 2008

Australian hard rockers AC/DC have announced a new contest where they are asking fans to create their own version of the "Rock 'N Roll Train" video and upload it to YouTube with a "ACDCGiveItAllYouGot" tag on it.

Prizes to be given away include an Angus Young signature model Gibson SG and a Malcolm Young signature model Gretsch G6131MY signed by AC/DC, along with five signed copies of the band's new album, "Black Ice".

A short video clip of AC/DC singer Brian Johnson explaining the contest can be viewed below.

Fans responded enthusiastically to the first AC/DC world tour in eight years with 18 "Black Ice World Tour" concerts selling out in record time. Unprecedented fan response forced additional shows in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Oakland.

The "Black Ice World Tour" opens on October 28 at the Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The worldwide tour — the band's first since 2001 — promotes "Black Ice", AC/DC's latest studio album. "Black Ice" will be released on October 20 and sold in the U.S. exclusively at Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, and www.acdc.com. The album is currently available for pre-order at www.walmart.com and www.acdc.com.

Tickets to AC/DC's "Black Ice World Tour" are available through Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster charge-by-phone, Ticketmaster retail outlets, or at ACDC.com. Specific market on sale dates and times are listed at Ticketmaster.com's AC/DC page. Fans ordering tickets through Ticketmaster.com will have an exclusive opportunity to pre-order AC/DC's "Black Ice" album in connection with their ticket purchase.

Additional appearances throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia, will be announced shortly.

The first single from "Black Ice", "Rock 'N' Roll Train" was released to radio on August 28 and immediately went to #1 at Rock Radio. The video for "Rock 'N' Roll Train" premiered September 19 on www.acdc.com and www.vh1.com.

	any band that's still living off of the glory of "you shook me all night long" becuase it's played at every wedding for your grandma's to enjoy should have their careers put to rest. AC / DC = Novelty Act

	"acdc original singer>>>new guy by far." Brian Johnson is far from the new guy. He has done a shit ton load more stuff then Bon ever did in AC/DC. You know Bon wasn't the orignal singer but you didn't know that I guess. Dave Evans didn't do shit with them and he milks the shit out of his real short stint with them. He recorded one single and that's it and he uses the shit out of it

	COMMENT \| zimzumm & ballzworth in the same thread! posted by : tlizzy 9/25/2008 10:55:36 PM

	my life is comeplete! welcome back lads! flick of the switch is the best album of 1983, but it got lost in the motley, leppard, van halen , ratt, glam LA explosion. it smokes for those about to rock. quite frankly, i doubt whether lars or angus sell 75 or 100% of the available seats really matters at this point. they are both sitting pretty. in the meantine, keep waiting for that remaster ballzworth & all hail grip inc. peternorthsload.

	Mr Balzworth, you are very, very young. and Mr RiotAct666, I'm afraid it is a logical impossibility that Brian rules, because you have made the same proclamation about countless other rock bands / individuals. The can't all rule.

	COMMENT \| Blablablabla posted by : brasil 9/26/2008 4:34:29 AM

	AC/DC rules. cant fokin wait to see them at the garden.

	If you don't really keep track of this subpar band, WTF are you doing reading AC/DC news and then posting about it? you don't really keep track of this subpar band, how do you know the difference between Bon Scott and Brian Johnson? I think someone's been in daddy's record collection again.

	What does AC/DC stand for? Dude.......Are you serious, I hope your joking. (and I don't get it) Otherwise you are a complete idiot. ----------------------------------------Ballzworth Your not joking I've read your stupid wedding post about AC/DC god knows how many times. Ya know instead of listening to them at weddings, you could go and hear some fine AC/DC tunes at a hard hitting football game. Or maybe some hockey?
