AC/DC - Clash With Animal Rights Activists
News index | Most popular | RSS feed


Aussie rockers AC/DC could have to cancel a sold-out concert because their big sound poses a danger to rare birds.

Animal rights campaigners are threatening legal action if the veteran band goes ahead with a gig planned for Wels airport in Austria in May. Hans Uhl of BirdLife said birds nesting in the area at the time would be threatened by anthems such as "Highway To Hell" and "You Shook Me All Night Long". "The second biggest colony of curlews in Upper Austria and various other ground-nesting birds must not become endangered," Mr Uhl said.

The event's 80,000 tickets were sold out within hours.

Both ridiculous and plausible...

You who will come to the surface
From the flood that's overwhelmed us and drowned us all
Must think, when you speak of our weakness in times of darkness
That you've not had to face

It is a well known fact that curlews are fans of classic rock, most animals have better music taste than humans, my cat has formed a Kamelot tribute band and my tropical fish actually did the choir parts on Epica's new album.

My cat once curled up in front of my amp when I was playing Painkiller on my guitar.

Would have been better if he had headbanged along and joined in with some Rob Halford meows.

Im sure he would have done that if it was physically possible for him to do it. lol He loved metal. xD
