Great news for AC/DC fans. They have announced the US leg of their Black Ice tour which kicks off on October 28, 2008 In Wilkes-Barre, PA. The European and rest of the world tour dates will be announced soon.

AC/DC Fan Club

Also, they have started an AC/DC online fan club, which I have joined. Members get priority tickets and can download cool AC/DC wallpapers like shown above.

My desktop has never looked better.

Rock Soxx Custom Laptop Sleeves

I will never forgive my mum for throwing out my first AC/DC t shirt. It became like a second skin. Now, if she hadn’t thrown it out, I could have had it recycled. I am all for saving the planet, and saving old t shirts too.

Rock Soxx are into T Shirts too. They also do recycling. They make laptop sleeves out of old T shirts, which you can buy straight from their store. They also have a custom service, so you can get your old favourite T made into a slinky custom sleeve for your laptop.

That’s just as long as your mum hasn’t already binned it.

AC/DC – Rock ‘N’ Roll Train

All aboard AC/DC’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Train. Available to buy now, but also available to listen to FOR FREE from ACDC.com.

First listen left me with the impression that the Angus and the boys are appropriately back in black. In good form. In stripped down, classic AC/DC guise. I can’t wait to get the Black Ice album.

ACDC.com have also published AC/DC 101. The history of AC/DC. The first instalment looks at AC/DC’s early years right up to August 1979, when the band relased, Highway to Hell. In my opinion, one of the greatest rock albums ever made.

Tragically, I first heard AC/DC on the Tommy Vance Friday Rock Show. The late Mr Vance played Rock n Roll Damnation and High Voltage from If you want blood. I recorded the show. At the end of playing these two songs back to back. Tommy announced that he had played them as a tribute to Bon Scott, who had just died. Recorded in Glasgows Apollo? theatre, alas also no more. High Voltage is an amazing showcase for Bon. I was an instant fan. I saved my pocket money and went out and bought Highway to Hell.

Later Back in Black was released by the reborn band. Great album, and Brian is certainly a great singer. The Bon Scott years were my favourite, but I am sure glad of getting to see this band live. They are my all time favourite live band. Roll on the new tour, all aboard the AC/DC Rock N Roll train.

Shame, you can’t buy this from the iTunes Store… I like the Black Ice cover reminds me a little of Back in Black…

I did get an invite to be in the crowd at the shooting of the video for Rock n Roll Train, but unfortunately I couldn’t make it…
