Whores and Bill Kelliher, guitarist of Mastodon collaborate a rendition of AC/DC’s “Have A Drink On Me” that will appear on Magnetic Eye Records tribute to AC/DC’s 1980 Back in Black album. The redux of Back in Black will also appear with a redux of Best of AC/DC on December 3.
Christian Lembach, vocalist/guitarist of Whores shares his thoughts on AC/DC: “I grew up listening to AC/DC, like everyone else. They were one of the first bands I heard that felt like a real rock and roll band, totally divorced from artifice. I still listen to them regularly, and we start every tour with “It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll)” because it’s true. One of the most important bands in my life. I was a little concerned with the song we covered, because it’s very different from our style. We just asked ourselves, ‘What would Harvey Milk do?’ It was pretty easy after that.”
