AC/DC: Iron Man 2 is an upcoming album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, to be released April 19, 2010 as the soundtrack to Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2. The album was announced on January 26, 2010 and is seen as being used in the same sense as Who Made Who was for Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive, not a greatest hits collection but a compilation album for the band even though it has a lot of their biggest hits both on the chart and overall with their fanbase. Co-Chairman of Columbia Records, Steve Barnett said "Jon Favreau's vision and passion for AC/DC's music blend seamlessly into this incredible film; the music really underscores the high energy and excitement of the film." The album features an almost half & half mix of songs from both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras of AC/DC.[1] The album features fifteen tracks from ten different albums, ranging from 1975 to 2008.
Release
Amazon.com and Walmart.com are both taking pre-orders for the album's release on April 19, 2010. Amazon is releasing it in several editions that include the CD only, CD/DVD, and on vinyl.
Music videos
On January 26, 2010, a music video was released featuring "Shoot to Thrill" with exclusive footage from the film Iron Man 2. The live concert footage used in the video was filmed in late 2009 in Buenos Aires.[2]
