Watch! AC/DC launch “The Story of Back in Black” new documentary series celebrating 40th anniversary of their famous album
(Above. Episode one of the series focuses on the song "You Shook Me All Night Long," using archival interviews with Angus, older brother Malcolm, and Brian Johnson)
AC/DC has begun a celebration marking the 40th anniversary of its classic 1980 album "Back In Black" in a new video series, "The Story Of Back In Black." The album was recorded in the Bahamas, and mixed at Electric Lady Studios in NYC. Last December, 2019 the Recording Industry of America, RIAA certified "Back in Black" for U.S. shipments of 25 million copies.
The album was the first without lead singer Scott, who died some months earlier (February 1980) after passing out, and tragically choking on his own vomit after a night of heavy drinking. AC/DC quickly decided to hire Brian Johnson, vocalist from Geordie.
Soon after Scott's death the band headed for the Bahamas with Johnson for six weeks to complete the album. It was a scary time after Scott's death.
Johnson told The Pulse of Radio he didn't have a clue how successful "Back In Black" would turn out to be. "I'd just melted me brain in there, and I didn't know if it was good or bad," he said. "That was the first time I'd been in the Bahamas, anyway, or near America, you know, and you (have to) remember, I was just fascinated by the whole culture and all, and I had no idea what the hell I was doing! And (laughs) lucky, really — I was a bit lucky."

Above, Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne in horrific laugh.New TV series stars son Jack, Ozzy, and wife Sharon Osbourne. Premiered on the Travel Channel SundayAugust 2 at 10pm|9c.

During each hour long episode Jack Osbourne sets out to push parents, over the edge, with jaw-dropping videos of supernatural activity caught on camera.
"My biggest challenge may be keeping their comments family friendly. It will be a classic Osbourne gathering!”
In the series premiere, Jack shares video footage of poltergeists, haunted dolls, UFOs and unidentifiable beasts that leaves his parents, and their dogs barking at the moon. Funny reactions in this episode include Ozzy Osbournes historical digressions on Greeks, Romans and the berserkers, accompanied by a copious amount of swearing.

"I'm so bummed,” Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee said regarding June 18, the day that would have been the kick off of Stadum 2020 …
“I would have been out there all week last week rehearsing in the stadium, getting ready for the first show. And yes, I am so bummed.
"But I'm stoked that it's not canceled — it's just moved back till next year this time. Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee spoke to Marci Wiser of 95.5 KLOS radio station about the postponement of the band's "The Stadium Tour" with Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts to the summer of 2021.
In the radio interview aired June 16, the rocker added, "You know what I was really hoping for — that the whole pandemic thing would be over. And this would be such a priceless thing that would happen that will probably never happen ever again in our lifetime. Imagine being onstage, and it's okay for everybody to be together in a giant stadium, rocking out, losing their freaking minds.
"The energy would be something that I probably will never witness again. All that energy — I'm such an energy dude — imagine all that in one giant stadium all over the country, people just going, like, 'Oh my God! Yeah!"
The Stadium Tour is a co-headling tour with British rockers Def Leppard, USA's Motley Crue, and guest bands, Poison, and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. The tour will now take place in the summer of 2021, postponed because of the Coronavirus.
