AC/DC

AC/DC announced their 2016 world tour dates today. 20 shows in approximately 60 days with the first one February 2nd at the Tacoma Dome.

A revealing piece of information has been uncovered in the new book, 'The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC.' In an interview for the book, former AC/DC bassist Mark Evans claims that legendary vocalist Bon Scott was nearly fired from the band after a 1975 heroin overdose, , according to The Australian.

There's a whole lot of fun that comes with recording a covers disc and Halestorm are letting that enjoyment spill over into the artwork for their new 'ReAniMate 2.0: The CoVeRs eP.

Well, here's something you don't see every day (unless you follow this guy around, in which case, move along ... move along). It's a man with a mohawk playing "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC on bagpipes that shoot flames. He also dances a bit. And he's wearing a leather kilt...

Music and protests have always gone hand in hand. Cranking up a good protest song helps draw attention to the cause and can become a rallying cry. AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' isn't your typical protest song, but it was just used by protestors in Utah who oppose a proposed freeway...

AC/DC have thrown their support behind a campaign to erect a new statue of the late Bon Scott in the singer's hometown of Kirriemuir, Scotland. Though AC/DC are known for their Australian pride, Scott actually moved to the continent from Scotland in his youth.

Hard rock and beer go together swimmingly, don't you think? Various rock acts have released their own official brews in the past, and Australian legends AC/DC recently joined the club with a new, full-bodied German beer.

AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson has been heard all over radio for years now, but perhaps not in the way that he’s about to. The singer has just inked a deal to host a six-week radio series for the U.K.’s BBC Radio 2.

It’s no secret that Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale makes us shake (in a good way) with her powerful vocals, and at this year’s Download Festival over the weekend she performed an acoustic version of the AC/DC classic ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ with Slipknot / Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor.

An exhibition of AC/DC artifacts called ‘AC/DC: Australia’s Family Jewels’ opens Saturday (April 28) at Experience Music Project Museum in Seattle. The collection, developed in association with AC/DC, made its debut at Arts Centre Melbourne in Australia in the fall of 2009.

The late, great Jimi Hendrix was voted No. 1 by a panel of professional guitarists and other experts in a new Rolling Stone poll of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Two other hard rocking trailblazers ranked in the Top 10 were Eddie Van Halen at No. 8 and Led Zeppelin legend Jimmy Page at No. 3.

Thanks to the Extended Family who recognized their local Veterans who have served or are currently serving in the United States Military. After the jump, take a listen to the montage filled with your phone calls along with a little support from AC/DC.
