AC / DC deserves a thread of sorts. New release coming out on the 20th, i am going to hop back on board. This is an all Wal-Mart release this time around, kinda like Journey did with their last one (although I heard other record stores managed to get their hands on some of the new discs to sell)

What a great band to drink to.

Check this out.

VH1 Classic Celebrates Release Of AC/DC's New Album With 'Total AC/DC' 24-Hour Marathon - Oct. 8, 2008

VH1 Classic commemorates one of the baddest bands in the land, AC/DC, who is returning after eight years with a new album, "Black Ice". The network for "classic music lovers" is celebrating the group's new release, which hits stores October 20, with a 24-hour marathon on Sunday, October 19. Sit back and rock out during "Total AC/DC" as VH1 Classic takes you through archival footage of the group, BBC concerts and one of the group's most seminal concerts, "Live at Donnington". Throughout the day fans can reminisce on some of the greatest concerts, videos and footage of the group.

** "Classic in Concert: No Bull" Airs at 4:00 PM ET/PT

A follow-up to their 1991 concert film masterpiece "Live At Donnington", "No Bull" was designed to capture the over-the-top spectacle that was the 1996 "Ballbreaker" tour. Filmed live on July 19, 1996 at the Plaza De Toro De Las Ventas, a remarkable space usually designated for bull fights, this footage showcases Angus Young at his best.

** "BBC Crown Jewels: Rock Goes To College: AC/DC" Airs at 6:00 PM ET/PT

"Rock Goes To College" was a BBC series that ran between 1978 and 1981 on British television. Upcoming rock oriented bands were showcased live from small venues and broadcast simultaneously on television and radio during a 40-50 minute live performance. This memorable episode, taped on October 28, 1978 from University of Essex, Colchester includes live performances of "Live Wire", "Problem Child", "Sin City", "Bad Boy Boogie", "Whole Lotta Rosie", "I'm A Rocker" and "Let There Be Rock".

** "AC/DC Video Marathon" Airs at 7:00 PM ET/PT

Just when you thought this day of great AC/DC hits couldn't get any better, VH1 Classic airs some of the band's classic hit video including "Back In Black", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Highway To Hell", "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Hells Bells", "TNT" and many more. Relax and take a few hours to recollect on some of your favorite AC/DC video hits of all time.

** "Classic in Concert: Live At Donnington" Airs at 8:00 PM ET/PT

This historic concert sees Angus Young and the boys hit the stage and wow a sizeable crowd at the 1991's Monsters of Rock show at Castle Donnington. Always a spectacular live presence, AC/DC manage to take their recorded output to a whole new level in the live arena, combining some classic hard rock sounds with a level of showmanship that never fails to raise a smile. "Classic in Concert: Live at Donnington" showcases the 2-hour performance that included real cannons, the Hells Bell, an inflatable Rosie and an inflatable Angus.

** "BBC Crown Jewels: Sight & Sound in Concert: AC/DC" Airs at 10:00 PM ET/PT

This memorable concert taped on October 29, 1977 from the Hippodrome, UK, features band members Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Bon Scott, Mark Evans and Phil Rudd.

Gotta give it more than one listen though, 9.

Just got my hands on it today. Wont spin till tomorrow, more to come. I will admit the one song I keep hearing on the radio does not do much for me.

Saw a note today that they are prediciting around 800,000 sales this first week, so this AC / DC campaign, mainly through Wal-Mart, is hitting big.

By no means am I ruling out liking this CD. AC/DC usually has one or two songs that really stand out, and I haven't found them yet, but overall, it sounds like AC/DC, which is why I bought it.

Im spinning it now, and the only drawback straight up I can see would be "sameness." You know the story, AC/DC has been putting out the same disc for decades. But if it ain't broke, dont fix it. A couple of tunes I had not heard, like "Big Jack" - stood out, and i am sure with repeated listens the hooks will stick hard. As you mentioned, there is a reason we bought this one.

Read yesterday that Brian Johnson, bless the man, is 61 years old. Go him!

Im not the biggest fan, but I know the guy can rock out. Sammy Hagar. He just turned 61 this month, too. And Dio is closing in on 70...born in July of 1942.

Back In Black is the greatest rock n roll album ever.....EVER.....Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles.....nevermind all of that....Back In Black is, for the reason of being the record that most transcends every genre's fanbase, the greatest ever....period!

Thats fair sentiment, Cho, although I find a couple of tunes from that eponymous offering dreadfully overplayed. If I hear "You Shook Me" one more time, I just may set off a bomb.

Greatest album ever, however, is Iron Maiden's first album.

Greatest album ever TO YOU may be that Iron Maiden disc....I'm talking globally.

The fact that you find some Back In Black tracks overplayed is a testament to my statement.

AC/DC is far from my favorite band. And I suspect that Back In Black is not even the favorite album of most die-hard AC/DC enthusiasts.

But I submit this - in a world of music fans of all sorts of varying tastes, I defy you to find a rap fan, a metal fan, a punk fan, a classical music fan, and R&B fan, et al...... I defy anyone to find a single person who is incapable of tapping their feet, humming along, and even reciting the majority of lyrics without benefit of the record sleeve, to at least ONE tune off of Back In Black.

Oh, I agree with you wholeheartedly. And true enough on the "to YOU" part, thats all I meant.

You want to hear the oddity? I dont own a copy of Back in Black. I have the songs scattered around on comp discs and stuff like that. I long ago lost my copy of the cassette. Its funny that I cant play the full disc in order if I wanted to.

I should fix that sometime.
