In related news, fans should defiantly check out a new feature on the band’s official site, entitled “AC/DC 101″. This section features a history of the band and track samples broken up by decades. There are also pics and a pretty fucking sweet widget that features “On This Day” in AC/DC. Now that’s a great and simple idea that more bands should do for their die hard fans.
