Thrill download AC/DC


FOURTH headlining AC/DC have made a record appearance at the Donington extravaganza.
Rockers the ancient have changed their live routine very little since they first made top billing in 1981.
But now when ANGUS YOUNG does his on stage striptease and moons the crowd, he leaves his boxer shorts at full-mast, perhaps because his bum has become wrinkly and he doesn't want anyone to see.

The same guitar solos he plays- note for note - that he did a generation ago.
AC/DC still bash a giant bell for Hells Bells, still unleash roaring pyrotechnics for Highway to Hell, and still inflate a giant doll of a fat Tasmanian hooker for Whole Lotta Rosie. The songs, for the most part, remain the same and so does the script.
But the 100,000 capacity crowd adored it and AC/DC - who hold the record for headline appearances jointly with IRON MAIDEN - have discovered a new generation of fist-punching fans.
Why change the formula when you sell more albums than U2?
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE followed AC/DC's Friday night show with top spot on Saturday.
The marxist metallers - vindicated by bank collapses and corporate scandals - closed their set with their Christmas number one Killing In The Name.
In song they were joined by 100,000 denim n' leather clad rockers who roared the impressive "you I won't do what you tell me" outro.
