AC/DC (the band) about to call it a day???
« on: April 15, 2014, 02:12:36 PM »
Reports going around that AC/DC is going to essentially retire due to Malcolm Young being very ill.  Apparently they all made a pact that no band member would be replaced if they had to leave the band.

Does that make the pinball machine more desirable if they were to call it quits?

Early times yet but sad if they do. There was illness reported last year but not much other news. Last couple of weeks was talk of more work for a new album and some world tour dates. Whatever the outcome, the boys (including Bon) have hold legend status for a number of years so any AC/DC collectables are worthy to keep.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

The pact was if any two of the remaining original members had to be replaced (Angus or Malcolm). The pact was made well after Bon died (so I heard - but that could be wrong).

The music will live on. The pinball would be more collectible and valuable over time.
