AC/DC To Make 'Exciting Announcement' Next Tuesday
- Sep. 23, 2009
|
|
Anglo-Australian hard rockers AC/DC have launched a special web site, ACDCBacktracks.com, featuring a countdown to an "exciting announcement" that will be made on September 29. A short video clip promoting the new web site can be viewed below. As previously reported, AC/DC is rumored to be releasing a box set later this year that will come in a package that doubles as a working amplifier. The set will contain three CDs, two DVDs and a vinyl record. One CD will contain studio rarities and the other two will feature live cuts, while the DVDs will contain the third volume of the band's "Family Jewels" video collections. The vinyl disc will hold the studio rarities. The set will also come with a 164-page book, three black-and-white lithographs of unpublished band photos from 1977, a flyer for a 1976 British tour and a poster from a 1977 European trek. The complete package will be sold only through AC/DC's web site, while a CD/DVD-only version called "Best Of The Box Set" may also be made available.

youre all wrong!
theyre changing their name to

the backwards slash makes all the difference.
either that or a semi-colon... perhaps a hyphen.

How the hell would that be an "exciting announcement"?
"Hey! I'm still gonna be wearing shorts! But just around the golf course from now on!"
Oh, the excitement!!!

Interesting idea...that would be a shitload of fun, although Brian better rest his voice up so that he doesn't sound too grating.
Call me crazy, but I'd love to see Iron Maiden play the Superbowl.
They may not be that well-known in America, but they're capable of putting on such an awesome visual spectacle and performing with such high energy while being incredibly musically proficient at the same time.
I really believe they'd win the whole world over.

Iron Maiden play the superbowl? Love them, but ...
You're Crazy!
Angus has gotta pull down his shorts and show the world his ass. If we got Janet's 40 year old boobie, we should at least get Angus' 50-something year old ass cheeks on the goddamn wide screen!

I'm sure that AC/DC will make sure that the amp is reasonably good. The one that comes with the new Spinal Tap special edition is meant to be terrible.

How do we know, with so many imposters, whether that's the real 'RiotAct666' or not? maybe change name to RiotAct666/authentic since 1996 or whatever!!! just kidding, but ser. this sounds grrreeeaaaattttttt!!!!!! 'Family Jewels' is a killer video compilation. Looking for. to the next. And their last few DVD concerts have been awesome. Would like a little more bass on the NO BULL live in Spain DVD!!! Just a little bit. Though it's not the same really, Black Ice is this generation's Back In Black, just not quite the same and through the years, I hope kids can still find bib to be so rockin' as I know I have for 20 yrs. +
Peace, out!
