It’s easy to pick out the punk influence in the Hives‘ music, but guitarist Nicholaus Arson says there’s definitely some classic rock flowing through their veins as well.

AC/DC singer Brian Johnson says that an illness suffered by one of his bandmates may have temporarily put plans for a new album by the legendary rockers on hold. He wouldn’t go into specifics about which member or what the illness is, but he did say it’s not terminal and that the afflicted member is on the path to recovery.

With the onslaught of rock bands marketing their own brands of libations, Billboard elected to examine several such beverages via a wine tasting panel at New York’s City Winery. They sipped, sampled and sounded off about 12 wines from the likes of AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Warrant, Ratt, Whitesnake and more.

AC/DC‘s fans are definitely of all stripes and now we have proof that they’re also well represented in other, let’s just say, species, too. The latest remix — a dubstep version — of their classic song ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ has shown up on YouTube and it’s a doozy. Check it out below!

Axl Rose and Guns N’ Roses continue to surprise fans with unexpected additions to the set lists of their American tour. Last week in Indianapolis, Black Label Society‘s Zakk Wylde joined the band to perform a pretty heavy version of AC/DC‘s ‘Whole Lotta Rosie.’

AC/DC‘s classic song ‘Shoot to Thrill’ has been summoned into battled again, this time in the trailer for ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,’ that will be released at midnight Nov. 8 and likely go on to become this year’s No. 1 video game, reports USA Today.
