Wow, 'Killing Jerk'. Never heard that one before. Let's put it this way: you initally said that "nobody would want to buy" an AC/DC album. I prove otherwise. Then you go on to generalise AC/DC fans. I call you out on it, and you respond to calling me a twat. How very well argued. And you've shown that the scenario I've put forward about you is true, since you are so quick to dismiss it.

Oh dear, oh dear. That's the best you can come off with, whatawasteoftime? I'm disappointed. You're probably a 14 year old who gets bullied at school by metalheads, so you decide that all forms of hard rock/metal is bad. You then retreat into your bedroom and use MySpace to check out obscure 'electro' (consisting of bleeps and bloops over a sampled AC/DC bassline no doubt) and think that you've won some moral victory over rock/metal fans.

Now since when have AC/DC worn spandex? Plus you'll find that teenagers up to people in their 50's make up their audience. They truly are the people's band. If you're content to listen to someone manipulating old Nintendo sounds on a laptop and passing it off as 'innovative music', then I'm sorry. Give me good music over hipster 'music' anyday.

What an appropriate username whatawasteoftime. Between 2004 and 2007, AC/DC sold 7 million physical albums in the U.S alone. More than Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin who are all on ITunes.The only band to top those sales is the Beatles. Who also boycott ITunes.So it appears that quite a few people want to buy their music.Roll on Black Ice.
