It looks like AC/DC may have been playing a goof when the released the ultra-low budget video for "Play Ball" earlier this month, drawing the ire of fans around the Globe. The iconic rockers have just unleashed the proper video for "Rock or Bust," the title track from their forthcoming new album, and the video - like the song itself - is pure, vintage AC/DC. While I've got that embedded here on THE ROCK FATHER for your viewing pleasure, you can stream the entire album right now for free on iTunes First Play.
Shot in London in early October, the video was directed by longtime collaborator David Mallet and features diehard fans from around the globe surrounding their heroes performing the song in an intimate club environment. ROCK OR BUST hits retail on December 1st or 2nd depending on where you live, with an early iTunes release on November 28th.
