Bon Scott for sure. This will make you feel old...Brian Johnson turned 61 this month. Man, I do love Back in Black though.

"With Brian Johnson the band completed the songwriting that they had begun with Bon Scott for the album Back in Black."

For me AC/DC were never the same after Bon died. Still great stuff, but lacking the raw earthiness of the early stuff. By the time Brian Johnson joined they had already taken 70's rock to a different level. Johnson took them to the masses as his stage presence was a bit more "respectable" compared to the toothless, drunken Bon.

"Black Ice" debuted as the #1 album on the Billboard charts this week, despite being sold exclusively at WalMart stores.

I am going to see them Saturday night, can't wait to see Angus rock the house.

Yeah, amazing that they are still one of the few itunes holdouts, I have never heard their reasoning for it, but obviously they do fine without it. I understand some bands thinking that selling their music by the song detracts from the overall album concept and flow, but I really don't get that with these guys.

For those of you with XM radio, they launched an all AC/DC channel. They are playing a mix of old and new. I believe they will have it airing until mid-December.
