This morning was the first day of release of AC/DC's new album - "Black Ice". It was being sold exclusively at Wal-Mart in the USA but fortunately there was a Wal-Mart near to my work and Naomi's school.
We hit the place at 7:45 and went straight back to the CD/DVD department, expecting to see a display selling the CD. Nothing was in sight. So I went to the AC/DC section of the CDs...still no Black Ice. I was about ready to go postal...but I asked an employee and was directed to the AC/DC section at the front of the store. I missed this when I came in as it is effectively behind you when you go through the door, but they are certainly doing a good job of promotion. Huge AC/DC signs, t-shirts, all of their CDs, DVDs and of course a huge rack of Black Ice CDs. Presented with a choice of red (standard); yellow or white (limited edition) lettering, I let Naomi make the decision. She chose white because "it looks like ice". Kind of logical I guess.
Heard a great quote from Angus Young about the meaning of their song "Rock N Roll Train"..."I think it’s based ‘round a train. You know, like a rock n roll kind of train. Something a bit different.". Classic stuff - Spinal Tap could not have said it any better themselves!
Oh yeah - and the CD is GREAT.
