AC/DC - Play Ball video

Yeah it was a crap video, but I think it was supposed to be a crap video. Of course they were not trying to highlight not Malcolm and not Phil, but even considering that, I don't think their absence will affect the shows too much. Brian and Angus still seemed great. And there's nothing like hearing a new AC/DC song for the first time. You know exactly how it's going to sound for the most part, but it's still new and fresh, but reliable. By the first minute in, you can sing along. And AC/DC is the only band where, even still, I hear their music and automatically begin at least lightly headbanging. I can't help it, and don't even notice I'm doing it until a couple minutes in. There's just something about the flow and rhythm of their songs that is perfect.

Criticism: If they are on the sports and chicks theme with the video, I would have liked to have seen some baseball-related imagery.

especially when this song will probably be a mlb post season promo staple for years to come.

Its a shitty video, but in the end, it kind of works for them. Dinosaur band, probably putting out an album just to tour, been in the press a lot lately for problems with two band members. Making a low end easy video makes a lot of sense in that regard. Doesn't attract them a lot of big promo, which they don't really need right now, and it makes the video look more like a formality, which it kind of is. And also, I don't think its much worse than their video for Rock N Roll Train, which was more high end than this was, so why not cut costs if a high end one would have been just as shoddy.

Also, we all know the circumstances, but actually not seeing Malcolm and Phil there, even if it won't mean much to their sound, really does make you think "fuck, what happened to AC/DC." It kind of finally makes them look old

AC/DC release a new single that is pretty much identical to every other song they have ever recorded and release a music video that looks like it was made in 1981 and somehow it works for them. Nickleback must be scratching their heads wondering how they do it and get away with it and have people still love them :lol:

Because from 1975-80 (well until Bon died, IMO) ACDC were the best thing going in bare bones hard rock.

Nickelback are pure dog shit headed by an anthropomorphic cocker spaniel sans throat lozenges, that makes music in the vein of a 4th rate Jerry Cantrell.
