Ha! He's a jolly jackass in front of the camera that's all that counts. I guess. What the hell were they talking about President Obie looking good with his shirt off? Do they get special pics or something? It was weird, did they all run off to the jackoff room of pal talk after....Today in the news President Obama and Vladimir Putin had a greco roman wrestling match in the rose garden. An out matched Pres. Obama seemed cut up and jacked but was no match for the black belted Former KGB agent who donned black socks shorts and a wife beater. Later, they both took a steam and Pres. Obama returned Alaska to Russia due to a side bet. WTF?
You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink, because it's nobody's goddamned business how much he's had already.

I'm a fan of Bon Scott era AC/DC. I mean, you kids with your Back in Black and Black Ice...
I am too, and the second they dig Bon up for a tour I'm totally there.
They should do it. It worked with the rest of the band.
I was a big Bon Scott fan as well but, Bon Scott himself picked his successor w/o even knowing it. Bon was watching a show and thought this guy had a unique singing style, thought he was raw and thought the ending of the show was great where the singer collapsed and had to be carried off on a stretcher.....Well I'm sure Bon was a bit toasty at the show. Brian Johnson was the guy with the raw powerful and unique voice. What he didn't realize was that at the end of the show the whole collapse and being carried off on a stretcher was because Johnson actually performed with a burst appendix and really did collapse and really was carried off and rushed to a hospital for surgery. Angus told that story during a recent radio interview.....
That's a pretty cool story. And, between that one and the "Slash is an old man" one, I see you carving out a niche as the Matt Pinfield/Eddie Trunk of the GNR Syndicate.
"Actually..."
Hey, you caught me in a Coma...

Classic Rock Magazine reports that AC/DC filmed their latest video offering from Black Ice in Paris, France last week.
Trusted AC/DC director David Mallet was in Paris, France this week to film a promotional video for the new single from Black Ice, Anything Goes.
The clip was shot at Bercy on February 27th in the empty venue, with additional live scenes filmed during the show that night.
This news comes after AC/DC were forced to cancel their show at Sportpaleis in Antwerp, Belgium on March 3rd after one of the members (reportedly vocalist Brian Johnson) was taken ill. The group had played a sold-out show at the same venue two days previously to rave reviews. Tickets to both Belgian shows sold out within two hours after they went on sale.
