  For Those About To Bill (We Salute Bill)

  posted by matt | 01.28.10 | permalink | 6 comments

  A high school friend of ours, Bill is a regular commenter here on Songspeak, . We’re grateful to Bill for the tip about AC/DC providing the soundtrack to Iron Man 2.

  Witness the IM madness:

  jamie: it’s all thanks to bill
  matt: should have titled it shoot to bill
  matt: for those about to bill, we bill
  jamie: yeah, I couldn’t think of a good title
  matt: I feel safe in bill york bill
  matt: bill’s bells
  jamie: bill made bill
  matt: rock and bill ain’t noise bill

  It got me thinking, what might the tracklisting for Iron Man 2 look like if Bill had his way:

  1. Shoot to Bill
  2. Rock ‘N’ Roll Billnation
  3. Guns for Bill
  4. Cold Hearted Bill
  5. Bill in Black
  6. ThunderBill
  7. If You Want Bill (You’ve Got It)
  8. Evil Bill
  9. T.N.B.
  10. Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Bill
  11. Have a Drink on Bill
  12. The Razor’s Bill
  13. Let There Be Bill
  14. Bill Machine
  15. Highway to Bill

  Wouldn’t Black Sabbath make more sense?

  Thanks to Bill for sending me this link earlier today. It seems that the soundtrack for Iron Man 2 will consist of solely AC/DC songs, and the soundtrack, available April 19, 2010, will be called AC/DC: Iron Man 2. One would think that AC/DC recorded a new track or two for the soundtrack, like Big Gun from Last Action Hero or Who Made Who for Maximum Overdrive, but nope, no new songs…just old stuff. So really, it’s kind of a “greatest hits” package of sorts. Which is fine, I’m sure the music in the movie will be rockin’, but would it have killed them to record a new song for the movie? (As I mentioned to Bill earlier, given their age, it just might). And didn’t Black Sabbath have a song titled Iron Man? Maybe it was in the first movie, who knows…I still haven’t gotten around to watching it yet. It appears as though Jon Favreau is a big AC/DC fan, and that was one of the factors that contributed to this whole scenario. Very reminiscent of how Stephen King wanted AC/DC exclusively for the soundtrack of Maximum Overdrive (based on his short story Trucks) because he’s a fan. Oh, Maximum Overdrive. Emilio Estevez. And remember when that other dude got clobbered by that truck that came to life? That was awesome. Anyway, enough reminiscing.

  It looks like the soundtrack does a good job encompassing AC/DC’s whole career with some classic old Bon Scott songs right up to a song off their most recent CD Black Ice. You can see the track listing at the link above, but here it is anyway:

  1. Shoot to Thrill
  2. Rock ‘N’ Roll Damnation
  3. Guns for Hire
  4. Cold Hearted Man
  5. Back in Black
  6. Thunderstruck
  7. If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)
  8. Evil Walks
  9. T.N.T.
  10. Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be
  11. Have a Drink on Me
  12. The Razor’s Edge
  13. Let There Be Rock
  14. War Machine
  15. Highway to Hell

  And here’s the first video for Shoot to Thrill from the movie:

  Keep your eyes on Brian Johnson. There’s something about a 62 year old grinding his hips that isn’t disturbing at all.

  NOT.
