You’ve been Thunderstrucked – Hidden away in a corner of Kerrang’s news pages lay a small article asking fans living in or near London to call Park Rock Management if they wanted to appear in AC/DC’s next video. I called immediately to be told that tickets were only being handed out face-to-face from Part Rock’s London office and the video shoot was in three days.
