It was the record that resurrected a band in mourning. From tragedy to triumph, this is the story of AC/DC’s greatest victory.

AC/DC has unveiled dates for the 2025 “Power Up” North American tour — the band’s first dates on the continent since 2016. It will also be singer Brian Johnson’s first run in an even longer time. During that 2016 tour, he suffered hearing loss and had to bow out — none other than Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose filled in for him. The 13-date run kicks off on April 10, 2025, in Minneapolis at US Bank Stadium and concludes on May 28, in Cleveland at Huntington Bank Field. Along the way, the band will play the Rose Bowl in...

Here's a 29 minute 57 second video of the Shindig Halloween Show from 1965. The only copy available available has a missing five minute segment that had four cut songs including Boris Karloff singing The Monster Mash! The missing audio segment was recorded by Lionelatwill in 1965, when he was only a kid, (a smart kid) and those missing minutes were edited in to the video from the 13:17 to 19:15 section. I edited some of the show's other video clips and then synched to Lionelatwil's audio. Here's the closest thing to the complete episode available. Enjoy the blast from...

Nine times out of ten, if we’re listening to AC/DC, no one’s life should be in our hands. The Australian party rockers’ music is best suited for skulling coldies, laughing at d**kheads, and occasionally driving an ATV into a pool. But according to a new study, blasting AC/DC actually helps the speed and precision of surgeons on the job. As reported by Ultimate Guitar, a recent study at Heidelberg University in Germany showed that playing AC/DC’s music increased both speed and precision of cuts made by surgeons. Apparently, the amount of time needed to make a precision cut went from...

Axl Rose has broken his three-month social media silence to once again bash the Trump administration. The GUNS N' ROSES frontman took to his Twitter account on Monday to share a photo of a New Hampshire voter wearing a hat that reads "Make The White House Great Again." Although Axl chose not to caption the picture, the response from other Twitter users was predictably mixed, with one person tweeting "Make Axl's Singing Great Again" and another adding "Make GNR great again." A third Twitter user wrote: "The only way to [make the White House great again] is to fumigate it....
