It’s been eight years since Stiff Upper Lip, but AC/DC are planning to release their new album - thought to be titled Black Ice - this autumn.
According to the Electric Shock fansite, it’s scheduled for worldwide release on October 27th, but October 28th for North America. That’s right, Angus, make ‘em wait for it!
The phrase ‘cybersquatting’ hasn’t been used in many a year, but its cropped up again as AC/DC have recently acquired the rights to the acdc.com domain name.
It seems for a number of years, acdc.com was actually a porn site. The owners cashed in on fans who typed in the domain name expecting to find information about the band, but instead they got a wide variety of porno.
Although the band are well known for sexual innuendo in their songs, apparently the porn link was a ‘touch too much’:
“The young fans are so net savvy it’s the first thing they do,” label manager Sam Horsburgh told News.com.au. “The push to get it back came predominantly because they knew there were a lot of younger fans coming through.”
“Feel free to visit us from work, school or, for long-time visitors to the site, from the usual privacy of your basement,” a statement issued by band members said.
Good news for AC/DC, and apparently they’re on the verge of releasing a new 5-disc live DVD. Just in time for Christmas.
