Some interesting news about AC/DC's cool new album, "Black Ice"

AC/DC AND ECONOMY DON'T MIX


A British newspaper has pointed out that the success of AC/DC albums has coincided with the darkest of economic times in the UK. AC/DC's latest album, Black Ice, has zoomed to the top of the UK album charts, giving them their first number one there in 28 years. It's been discovered that Back in Black topped the UK charts in 1980, just as inflation had reached 20% and unemployment inched towards 2 million. The Aussie band receded a little in popularity, by their own high standards, in the years of economic success that followed but, says a newspaper, "right on cue the album that returned the band to its heyday was The Razors Edge, released in 1990 -- just as Britain headed towards its last recession.
"The breakdown:

Britain's Highway to Hell 973 - AC/DC Economy: Start of the oil crisis, which saw the price quadruple

1980 - AC/DC release breakthrough album Back In Black Economy:Inflation in UK reaches 20% and unemployment nears 2 million

1990 - AC/DC score comeback with The Razor's EdgeEconomy: Recession in UK imminent

2008: AC/DC top UK album chartsEconomy: Biggest world recession in decades looms

Big week....we're playing the new AC/DC tune, "Rock-N-Roll Train" from their album "Black Ice" which comes out on October 21st ONLY at Walmart stores. You can't get this one digitally.
Their first new album in eight years. Make sure to check out the interview with Angus Young on our home page. And AC/DC will be rocking Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh on January 7th! It's gonna be a party. Here's more on AC/DC.

The lyrics to "Rock and Roll Train," the first new song from A-C/D-C in eight years, don't contain the words "rock and roll train." Guitarist Angus Young tells us that's because "some lines sing really better than others, and runaway train sounded more clear and more pronounceable... But the intention was rock and roll train." "Rock and Roll Train" is the first single from A-C/D-C's new album, Black Ice, their first in eight years, will be streamed at VH1-dot-com and VH1Classic-dot-com Monday through October 20th. On T-V, V-H-1 Classic will air Total A-C/D-C, 24 hours of the Aussie band, on October 19th.

A-C/D-C's upcoming album Black Ice will be available with three different collectible covers. Each design features the standard A-C/D-C logo in yellow, red or white. The only thing that's the same on each cover is a caricature of guitarist Angus Young at the top. Black Ice will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and ACDC-dot-com on October 21st.



RUMORS, NEWS AND NOTES FROM THE WORLD OF CLASSIC ROCK

With Robert Plant proclaiming he won't tour with Led Zeppelin, the rumor mill has heated up about what vocalist might fill his shoes on a potential tour with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonaham. Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has added to the fire by saying Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy is already lined up as Plant's replacement. Snider told Canada's Much Music, "They're saying [to Robert], 'We're all rehearsed, we're ready to go, here's a gazillion dollars on the table. If you don't do it, we're going out with this kid. And he can sing the [crap] out of Zeppelin.' And they're gonna hope that Robert, at the last minute, will go, 'Okay,' and step in." When Kennedy has the time to rehearse is another question, as Alter Bridge have a month-long European tour that starts next month and are filming a D-V-D in London November 8th.

It looks like the makers of Doctor Pepper are going to follow through on their promise of a free can for everyone in the U-S if Guns n' Roses release Chinese Democracy in 2008. With a November 23rd release date set, Doctor Pepper exec Tony Jacobs tells the New York Post, "If the rumors are true, we're putting the Dr Pepper on ice." Jacobs hasn't explained how the free Doctor Pepper will be distributed if Chinese Democracy actually sees the light of day!


Jackson Browne will be part of the Dream Believe Achieve Inspiration Gala -- a benefit for children and families of South Los Angeles -- on October 21st in L-A. Also on the bill are Earth Wind & Fire, Smokey Robinson and others.
Santana's Live Your Light tour ended last night in Concord, California.
Styx performed over the weekend for the first time in 30 years. They're now off until November 13th when they do three shows in another sunny locale, Florida, followed by a New Year's Eve show in Tempe, Arizona.
Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford was NASCAR driver Bobby Labonte's guest Saturday night at the Bank of America 500 at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Whitford, a huge race fan, lives in the Charlotte area.
Def Leppard has canceled their two shows in India -- October 17th in Bangalore and the 19th in Mumbai.
