Iron Man 2 soundtrack looks suspiciously like an AC/DC greatest hits compilation
Marvel announced today that they’ve teamed up with Columbia Records and AC/DC to fill Iron Man 2 and its soundtrack with music from the band’s heavy metal catalog. Columbia Records will release an album called AC/DC: Iron Man 2 on April 19, containing “15 classic songs from the band selected from ten of their studio albums.”
Here’s the track listing:
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 MTV’s Splash Page has the first video, “Shoot to Thrill,” featuring Iron Man 2 footage intertwined with AC/DC concert footage:

Had Shoot to Thrill never been a single before? Because if so that’s a major dropped ball. I support this endeavor wholeheartedly.

Best Of maybe, but not Greatest Hits (Hits being a synonym for ‘single’)
“Gun For Hire” and “Evil Walks” were never singles, they’re album tracks and “Gun For Hire” is pretty lame. Neither was “Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation” though it could have been, it’s catchy as hell. I’ve already made it clear to the universe that if I ever start my AC/DC cover band it’ll be called “Rock n’ Roll Damnation”. (I’ll play drums Drums as Rill Phudd, if we go the “pseudonym stage name’ route)
Kiss’s “War Machine” is the better of the two, and I’m not a huge fan of Kiss (am a huge fan of AC/DC, which explains the daydreams of starting an AC/DC cover band).
“Cold Hearted Man” is pretty rare, only recently officially available on CD in the Backtracks box set.

The only other movie to do something similar to this was the GREATEST FLICK OF ALL TIME!!!
MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!!!
But seriously, that is overkill, balance it out, I love Brian and the boys, but hell toss in a Dokken track or two.

DOKKEN?!
Anyway almost half of these songs aren’t sung by Brian Johnson. Bon Scott sings 7 of them.
You can tell the difference because Bon didn’t write the “Gun=Penis” lyrics.

That’s…really annoying. They settled for a lazy score on the first movie because they had rock songs to fall back on, looks like they were setting a trend for themselves.

What’s annoying is being told that that video has “exclusive” movie footage, and then seeing scenes from the released-a-month-ago trailer spliced into a concert scene of shirtless sexagenarians (heheh, he said sex) rocking out for the Brazilian equivalent of a Larry the Cable Guy audience.
And I’m a big AC/DC fan. But…damn.

Hey Drunk Jack, Guns For Hire was a single for a matter of fact, & i think it even charted.
Well anyways, this album is missing a lot of hits, but if you get this & who Made who it’s a pretty Definative collection, exept it’s missing a lot of Bon Scott songs.

I think this is a great combination of classics and album tracks. Guns for Hire and Rock & Roll Damnation are two great songs from two of the bands most underrated albums, and I’m glad songs like Evil Walks, The Razor’s Edge and especially If You Want Blood might get a second life. War Machine too, which was probably the second best track off their last album.
