Is this the first AC/DC street in the world?

woohooo! Good onya!

Kinda funny, hey, littlek?

"Let us rock" with bagpipes? Heehee. I love it! Were the band members there?

AC/DC rules!!!! No doubt....Bon Scott R.I.P.....

Nah, littlek. But the fans made up for it, apparently!
So funny, watching the episode on the news: Melbourne central has a Chinese mayor (Cr John So), a very proper person. He was obviously quite amused in announcing: "As the song says, there is a highway to hell, but this is a highway to heaven. Let us rock," as Bagpipers played It's a Long Way to the Top.

Very funny! So out of character! And the bagpipes? Well it's Melbourne! Tongue in cheek.

there were bagpipes on the original recording......that's how it was done....

Oh, I didn't know that, Bear.

MsOlga - you didn't attend?

I didn't know that either, BPB, but I'm not at all surprised.

Is there a double entendre in your question, MsOlga?

heehee.... I wonder if that translates.....?

Not intentionally, InfraBlue.

Highway to hell ends in laneway

02oct04

MELBOURNE has celebrated the first of Rocktober by naming a city laneway after veteran rockers AC/DC.

Lord Mayor John So erected the sign for ACDC Lane yesterday to cheers and bagpipes playing their classic Long Way to the Top.
Cr So called Melburnians to pump their collective fists in the air in honour of the new thoroughfare, formerly Corporation Lane.

"As the song says, this is a highway to hell. But I say this is a lane to heaven. Let us rock," Cr So said.

Members of Australia's music scene were present to honour the rock legends who made Melbourne their home in the 1970s.

"I think the whole band would be blown away," Music guru Molly Meldrum said.

"I'm sure if (singer) Bon (Scott) was still alive he would be very proud. If Bon was still alive he would definitely be here because he'd be a very proud man."

ACDC Lane is off Flinders Lane and parallel to Swanston St, where the video clip to Long Way to the Top was filmed, and close to Spring St, near the site of the band's old musical home, Berties.

The City of Melbourne has had copies of the laneway's sign made, in anticipation fans might steal it.

Cr Kimberley Kitching said: "We expect businesses to protect their address, so we don't expect there will be too many problems.

"We would expect it would be pretty hard to get it off though. You'd have to come with some pretty good equipment."

Oh cool!!! I was wondering when they would create an AC/DC Lane. It's about time ;-)

Montana, apparently some Melbournian AC/DC lovers have been trying to create this for some time now.

Good for them! Rock on :-D

that's pretty funny, but i have one question, what does the prefix Cr stand for

Cr John So
Cr Kimberley Kitching

I hear they're planning on renaming Wellington St. "Lou Sass Blvd."
