Worth Reading?
Here’s a cool idea, open up iTunes and try to find a good AC/DC song. That’s right, you can’t, not for the lack of good songs made my AC/DC, rather iTunes doesn’t have any of their music. But guess who does.
AC/DC has recently inked an exclusive deal with Verizon to sell their music. As much as I love their music, I’m really disappointed in this deal. Verizon is going to charge $11.99 to let you download the entire Back in Black album, you can pick up the CD on Amazon for $9.97. Why charge customers more to download music when they can just buy, and rip the CD for a couple bucks cheaper?
Maybe you’ll just buy a few of your favorite songs. Go for it, but I hope you only like You Shook Me All Night Long because that’s the only single they’re going to offer. Thanks Verizon, way to screw your customers.
AC/DC Snubs iTunes, Joins Verizon [via crunchgear]
AC/DC stunk way back and hasn’t aged well. It’s no difference to me they’re on iTunes or not.
My guess is they got a ringtone deal from Verizon, which is poetic justice in action. AC/DC’s annoying screeches being reduced to 8 second snippets of itsy bitsy midi files played over speakers 1/8″ wide. Gotta love that.
Single song downloads is the best thing ever since most bands would have one good song and force you to buy the whole crap album. napster forced the end to that. However Ac/Dc offers quality in their entire albums and would not be able to do this if thay did not offer quality. No band has a back catalog that sells as well as Ac/Dc (Quality!). Other bands can’t do this because people won’t buy it. People will buy Ac/Dc.
HMMMM- AC/DC STUNK WAY BACK THEN. SOMEBODY OUT THERE MUST LIKE THEM. 63 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD, 19 GOLD RECORDS, TOP 10 RECORD SALES FOR A BAND. lISTEN TO ANY SPORTING EVENT ON TV YOU WILL ALWAYS HEAR AC/DC. NASCAR COMERCIALS, DANCE CLUBS IN NYC..BETTER THINK AGAIN.. CHRIS BROWN
