According to a post at AC/DC Ruff Stuff, the previously announced AC/DC DVD, "Inside AC/DC" (view cover here), has been retitled "AC/DC - The Bon Scott Years" and is currently scheduled for release in November. Item description reads as follows:

"This is the ultimate critical review of a legendary band in the crucial years with Bon Scott at the helm.

For many fans Bon was a legendary frontman without equal, and his leather-lunged power was the key to a host of classic hits from 'Whole Lotta Rosie' to 'Let There Be Rock'.

"Featuring rare footage, much of it appearing on DVD for the first time, this powerful film draws together a team of leading critics and working musicians to review the legacy of one of the greatest frontmen in rock.

"The film is totally unauthorized and has not been approved by past or present members or management of the band."

As previously reported, guitarist Angus Young recently told Hit Parader magazine that AC/DC have written and recorded so much material over the last year that they might seriously consider making their next album release a double disc.

"We do have a lot of songs at the moment," he said. "But that's not incredibly unusual for us. We tend to have a lot of material at some point in the recording process, then begin to whittle it down. But this time, we like a lot of what we're hearing, so the idea of expanding things out is not out of the realm of possibility."

Undercover News recently reported that AC/DC are among the artists who are said to be planning performances in Australia next March to mark the 2006 Commonwealth Games to be held in Melbourne.

AC/DC's "Back in Black" album was recently certified for U.S. shipments of 21 million copies, tying it for fifth place with BILLY JOEL's "Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & II" on the Recording Industry Assn. of America's all-time best-sellers list.

A double album of new songs?

That could be too much.

Why not pick the best ten or twelve and make it a shit hot single album?

And someone tell Angus to turn up the overdrive on his amp as the guitars on the last couple of albums have been pretty light.

Get that "Powerage" guitar sound and you`re halfway there already no matter how good the songs are.
