AC/DC "Train" leaves rock n' roll station

AC/DC's first new single in eight years, "Rock'n'Roll Train," hit the band's Web site and radio stations on August 28th. A video for the song was shot in London and will premiere in September. "Rock 'n' Roll Train" is classic AC/DC from start to finish, with bluesy riffs, a rock-solid tempo and a scorching solo from Angus Young [Click to request if you have a backstage pass].

Young told us a while back that you never know when or where a song will come from: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "You know, you might have an old riff thing that you've had kicking about -- over the years, you know, you might play it -- and then one day, you know, somebody goes, 'Hey, you know that riff you had four years ago?' And you go, 'Yeah?' And they go, 'What was that again?' And you play it."

Black Ice, the band's first studio album in eight years, will arrive on October 21st and will sold exclusively at Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and acdc.com in the U.S. All three plan multiple promotional campaigns aimed at the group's millions of fans.

AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. The band has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, including 69 million in the U.S. alone.

No Bull: The Director's Cut, a chronicle of the band's famed July 1996 concert at the Plaza De Toros De Las Ventas in Madrid, Spain, will be released on DVD and Blu-ray September 9th.
