Earlier this week we heard rumors that AC/DC was going to
call it a day. As this news spread there was a lot of speculation as to whether
it was true or another internet hoax. The next day, word started to circulate
that the band had addressed the rumors and assured their fans that they were
not going to be retiring. Also mentioned in every post I saw, either about the
rumored retirement or dispelling the rumors, was the fact that the band will be
returning to the studio to record a new album in the next couple months.
This got me thinking…
Could this all be a publicity stunt to generate some
excitement for the upcoming AC/DC album?
Rumors that the band is retiring tied together with talk of
a new album helps to create demand for the potentially final album. It gets the
AC/DC fans who may have packed away their Back In Black t-shirts to dig the
shirt out and wear it with pride. It’s time to step up and be counted. If this
is AC/DC’s last hurrah, their fans will make sure they will go out with a bang.
What better way to show your support and thanks to the band you’ve been a fan
of for years than to go out and buy their new album.
Now let’s take the next step. Now that the AC/DC fans have
started to rally in support of their favorite band, have said band renounce the
retirement rumors and fire up the fans even more. “I KNEW AC/DC wouldn’t
retire! They’re the best band on the planet.” This was a common quote accompanying
the renouncing retirement posts. You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone…or
in this case, until there might be a chance you might lose it. Now that you
realize how important this thing is to you, hearing that the rumors aren’t true
and that you won’t loss this thing that only became important again because you
heard you might lose it, your loyalty as a fan will reach new levels.
Engagement
in the band is now at a new high and fans are anticipating the new album a lot
more than they were prior to hearing the band might retire.
What do you think?
