The Corporate Play Behind AC/DC’s Return! (2008)

from Classic Metal Show · host The CMS Network

The first new AC/DC track in eight years is finally here, but the corporate rollout is already splitting the fanbase down the middle. While the production on “Rock ‘N’ Roll Train” sounds massive and Brian Johnson’s voice seems magically restored, you can’t ignore where you have to go to actually buy the physical CD. Locking a legendary rock return behind a corporate retail monopoly changes the entire vibe. Is it a brilliant business move, or did the biggest rock band on earth just sell out their distribution to the highest bidder?GET AC/DC’S BLACK ICE HERE ON VINYL: https://amzn.to/3R2liAHIf you’re watching this here, you’re looking at the scraps.GET ALL THE BEST CMS MERCH HERE: https://classicmetalshow.creator-spring.com/The full, uncensored episode, the exclusive third segment, and early access interviews live on Locals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com This is a public episode.
