    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
    XM did this too. They aren't bringing the punk back until January of next year.

    And I'm on the fence with Black Ice. Perhaps I'll borrow it from a friend before I decide to buy it since I'm strapped for cash at the moment.

    However, I'm not too excited for AC/DC Live for RB.
    LOL Despite my hatred for post-Bon Scott AC/DC, I am actually excited for the rock band tracks. If you buy black ice, there's no setting to mute brian johnson's strained grunting. In Rock band, however, all you have to do is have someone who can do a good Bon Scott impersonation (I recommend the singer for "Boned") and you can be on the Highway to Hell. Awesome.
    Does anyone chart anymore? le sigh.

    having a distinct sound is fine, but that doesn't mean you can get away with re-writing the same three songs with the same solo just two or three extra notes.

    ^^^ agreed
    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.

    I'm really going to wait to hear some more before getting this. Sometimes older bands new albums are huge flops as they try to modernize themselves. Keep it real AC/DC!!!

    I'll be getting it simply because I have everything else by them already and want to keep the collection complete, I haven't had time to listen to the singles yet but AC/DC were one of my first band loves so I'm happy to keep supporting them (as they got me into music really).

    I keep seeing people saying that they've done nothing good since the early 80's, or since Bon Scott, but personally The Razors Edge is one of my favourite albums period let alone AC/DC albums. I also quite like Ballbreaker, not so fond of Stiff Upper Lip though. There are tracks on all the albums that I love but the only ALBUMS that stood out for me were Highway to Hell, Back in Black, Razors Edge, Ballbreaker.. and possible Blow up Your Video.
    W.A.S.P - The Crimson Idol
    Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid!
    Dio - Holy Diver
    UFO - UFO 2 (Flying) - 27minute song ftw!!
    Halford - Resurrection

    I'll wait and see how it sounds. Bon Scott is better than Brian Johnson, but who knows, this might be great. I'll let some of my AC/DC obsessed friends pick it up first, and then I'll see where to go from there.
    I use a Hayley av because she's pretty.
    Sorry Billie Joe and Axl. You aren't pretty. At all.
    I guess I am a PARAWHORE!
