Exclusive! The 3 Variations of Black Ice Artwork

AC/DC's Black Ice will be released approximately October 20th across the globe and now AC/DC News is pleased to show you the three different collectible covers fans can choose from when purchasing the CD.

Right away, you'll notice you have the choice of yellow, red, or white AC/DC logos but a closer study of each design reveals they're all somewhat different with the exception of Angus appearing at the top center inside a circle.

So which one do you like best? Or will you purchase all three to complete the collection?


In other newsworthy items, Undercover notes that Australian fans are so excited about AC/DC's upcoming release,"Black Ice," that they've put five albums from the band's back catalog on the record charts this week. Three from Bon Scott's era and two from Brian Johnson's, interestingly enough.

"On this week’s ARIA chart, AC/DC are at no. 47 with ‘TNT’, no. 61 with ‘Highway To Hell’, no. 62 with ‘Dirty Deeds Done Cheap’, no. 74 with ‘Who Made Who’ and no. 92 with ‘The Razor’s Edge’."


Lastly, for years, many fans have wanted "Mutt" Lange to produce another album for AC/DC. After all, it was Lange who produced the monster hits Highway To Hell, Back In Black, and For Those About To Rock with the lads from down under.

Indeed, Mutt was often rumored to be working with the band on what would eventually turn out to be "Black Ice." Of course, AC/DC eventually chose Brendan O'Brien for the job but now Rock Radio is reporting that Mutt Lange will be working with Nickleback on their sixth album.

Nickelback! Are you freakin' kidding me?!

Keep rockin, Jon

AC/DC: Ready To Return to Rock and Roll?

A Spanish website dedicated to Heavy Metal is reporting that their sources in New York have revealed that AC/DC is eminently poised to return to the music scene. This rumor has not been confirmed by the band's record company, however.

According to Rafabasa.com, a serious knee problem of Angus Young's has been hindering the bands return to the stage. However, that problem has now been resolved and the group may begin playing what are described as "mini-shows" sometime in late January.

Apparently, those performances will celebrate Malcolm Young's recent 55th birthday and, perhaps, allow AC/DC to debut some of their new material.

Also, according to this rumor, the band has already finished mixing a new album with the assistance of famed producer, "Mutt" Lange. A new AC/DC world tour appears to be the next logical step, says Rafabasa.

While millions of AC/DC fans are no doubt clamoring for the band to return to the stage it should be noted that, at last report, AC/DC hadn't even entered the recording studio but that the Young brothers were privately working on songs.

Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams have kept themselves busy, in the meantime, performing charity shows for the John Entwistle Foundation.
