11.13.2009The Week in AC/DC
The North American stretch of the Black Ice
World Tour
keeps rolling on, but it's soon coming to an end, with yesterday's
Mexico City show and a few more dates over the next week. After that,
the band heads down to South America for a week of dates to close out
the year. 2010's right around the corner though, and fan club tickets
are still on sale for the March 2010 Japan dates. They're only on sale
until tomorrow though, so if you haven't picked up tickets yet, time's
running out!

Last week, member wertman31
made it out to the show in Houston, where he not only got to see AC/DC
rock out but also experienced many Acca Dacca fans' dream:
"About 1 hour after the show a white van pulled out and stopped beside
me and my wife (we were the only 2 people waiting). A man got out of
the front of the band and opened the back door. First Angus exited the
van and walked over to me. You could tell he was totally exhausted. He
walked over and said what could I sign for you. As Angus was signing
0 dollar and writing "Money Talks" on it, I could hear another voice
coming out of the van. My wife said "Its Brian". As Brian stepped out
my wife was telling him how I was such a huge AC/Dc fan."
Lucky stiff! wertman31 snapped a few pics of the show and the events afterwards:
Last week, the band also found themselves in Austin for a show at the
Erwin Center. Michael Corcoran of Austin360.com described their
appearance as "a tribute to the awesome power of good, hard, rock n'
roll." Check out the whole review here.
On the historical front, this week also marked the 7th anniversary of
the date AC/DC was voted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It took
three years on the ballot, but since then, they've only continued to
prove why they should've been members long before that.
That's it for another edition of "The Week in AC/DC." Keep those concert pics and reviews coming! 'Til next time!

This week, AC/DC visited two of the most soulful cities in
America - Detroit and Chicago - as their Black Ice World Tour continues.
There's no word on whether the boys paid a visit to see the beat-up 9-string
guitar of Big Joe Williams, author of "Baby Please Don't Go," which currently
resides at the Jazz Record Mart in the Windy City. We do know that fans and
critics alike left the shows with their fists in the air, jaws on the floor,
and perhaps, a slight ringing in the ears. Don't worry though - that will subside in a few days...

On July 27, 1979, AC/DC released Highway To Hell, a timeless rock n' roll classic that ultimately marked both a triumphant beginning and a tragic end for the young band from Down Under. Thirty years later, after going platinum seven times over in the USA alone, it remains an undeniable classic of the genre, and has served as a musical touchstone for countless acts in the years since.
