    Will you be getting Black Ice?

    Who here is getting AC/DC's new album Black Ice when it comes out?

    There are three different album covers (plus the deluxe edition so four)

    Check 'em out here: http://acdc-preorder.shop.musictoday...cp=14359_14367

    I'm getting the deluxe edition.

    I never thought a game would be able to inspire the formation of a real band or strengthen friendships. Thank you Harmonix, for making Rock Band.

    no, im going to pass

    anything they released after the 80s was terrible, pretty sure this will be the same.

    While I like AC/DC, I cant listen to a lot of their music back to back without geting bored seeing it sounds similar for the most part.

    Really pissed that Sirius replaced the punk channel 29 with an all AC/DC station

    I'll probably just download it via torrent. I don't feel like supporting Walmart.

    I'll most likely pick it up based on the strength of the first single. Sounds like Classic AC/DC, easily best sounding thing since For Those About To Rock. We're selling it at 13.99 and that seems to be a pretty decent price point for a new album.

    absolutely not. When they resurrect Bon Scott, I'll buy an AC/DC album. Brian Johnson doesn't even deserve piracy.
    Does anyone chart anymore? le sigh.

    Yes, I will! AC/DC is the one of the only bands to really retain their style over 30 years.

    However, I'm not too excited for AC/DC Live for RB.

    I'll probably pick it up one or another. Not expecting too much though.
    Huge AC/DC fan, but like most, I'm more of a Bon Scott guy. Nothing against Brian, but the music was way better back in the day.

    And you say change is always good? Look at 90's Metallica.

    I get what you're saying and for the most part I do agree with you. A band/artist should always evolve somewhat buuuut there are exceptions to every rule. in this case a band like AC/DC has never pretended to be something they are not nor have they made any bones about the fact that they are a simple 3 chord hard rock band. Period.

    I respect that. Same way I do about Motorhead and while not the same genre at all Poison. All these bands do what they do and that's it and they stick to doing what they do best. It's the if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality. Hell Angus has even joked about the fact that they get accused of re-making the same album over and over. May not be your thing and I get that.

    While change is and evolving is good, for me there is nothing worse than watching a band try to be something they aren't or trend hop and try to deny what they are.
