Video: AC/DC Rock N Roll Train - ASCII music video in Excel

mtv sendet seit jahren kaum noch musikvideos, von einstmals vier musiksendern betreibt der viacom-konzern gerade mal noch zwei. und doch gibt es mindestens genauso viele gute musikvideos wie immer. die besten (zumindest nach meinung der indiestreber-schreiber und -leser) gibt es nach dem klick. (und den gewinner ganz, ganz unten) genannt wurden: Fettes Brot – Bettina, zieh dir bitte etwas an ( einbetten nicht möglich ) Lützenkirchen – 3 Tage wach [...]

AC\DC's Rock 'n' Roll Train World First Excel Video Bored at work, but the IT guys have blocked YouTube? Don't worry, AC\DC feel you pain. Now you can check out their new video and look like you're working too! In a world first, AC\DC have finally found a way to use a Microsoft Office tool for good not evil. You can download the entire excel ready video here.

If there was even a single doubt in your mind, it has to be shattered NOW. AC/DC fuc*ing rocks. After everything they've done, after releasing just dozens of massive classic hits, they just come back and ripped everything apart with their latest release, Black Ice. My fingers are just itching to write a review for that, so keep an eye out, cause the album's just brilliant. But that's not the issue here. The rock gods went deep in the technology era, and adapted to these new conditions. What they did is they took their latest clip, [...]

The tie-up with Wal-Mart might be lucrative, but it's hardly impressive. However, you can't help but be impressed with the band's boundary-breaking Exel-based music video:

Ho poco da aggiungere a quello che ho detto nel titolo. Se non altro che il brano è "Rock and Roll Train" il primo singolo del fortunato nuovo album Black Ice . E visto che il video è in Excel lo potete vedere qui sopra ma anche scaricare come file excel dal sito ufficiale degli AC/DC .

In this day and age, the sound of watching a video on excel doesn't exactly sound appealing, but after watching this in action, I think it's pretty cool how they did this. By the way, this is the first video...

I think it's officially safe to say that this crosses the line in terms of having wwwwaaaayyyy too much free time on one's hands... If you have Excel and would like to view this video in all its Microsoftian glory, you can download the original here. Thanks to MetalSucks Maniac Jesse for sending this in. -AR Related posts: FOR THOSE [...]

Il primo videoclip della storia in formato Excel! [Mp3]Via Inkiostro

A to Z was lucky enough to have a correspondent at the AC/DC secret show tonight (October 26) in New York City. Said attendee texted in the setlist from the venue; check it out below. Sadly, St. Louis has to wait until January 13, 2009, for the band's "Black Ice World Tour" to hit our fair city. Judging from the song selection, though, it'll be well worth the wait. Check back tomorrow, I'm trying to convince the mystery AC/DC fan to send us some thoughts on the show. AC/DC [...]

Una cosa talmente figa da ridefinire il concetto stesso di 'figo': via Giavasan il primo videoclip al mondo in formato Excel. Andate sul sito degli AC/DC e scaricate il file .XLS. (ovviamente dovete avere la macro abilitate). Io ho provato su un paio di computer (un PC con OpenOffice Calc e un Mac con Excel) e non mi funziona, ma immagino che un'installazione classica su Windows con Excel non fallisca. Altrimenti si può vedere su YouTube, qua sotto. Una vera meraviglia Pubblicato da [...]

AC/DC are touting this clip for "Rock N' Roll Train" from the just-released Black Ice, as the first music video ever made on Microsoft Excel. I guess that's supposed to ...

AC/DC has made an ASCII interpretation of the clip for "Rock N' Roll Train" that the band is calling "the world's first video in Microsoft Excel," although I've only been able to watch the YouTube version since a) trying to open the document gave my (new, very RAM-equipped) MacBook Pro conniptions; and b) once the damn thing finally opened, I was told that the Visual Basic macros that power the damn thing aren't available on my operating system. Is this Bill Gates' latest weird attempt to get people to switch over to Vista? Because honestly, it's not going [...]

Who says the possibilities aren't endless? AC.DC has converted the video for their new song "Train" into the world's first video in an Excel spreadsheet. Download the original if you have Excel here or watch it in all its lo-fi glory below. center>

Phil Clandillon and Steve Milbourne, who work at a digital design boutique division of Sony/BMG in London, have put together what they call "the world's first music video in Excel format," for AC/DC. They decided on this unusual format because they wanted the video to penetrate even the most Draconian corporate firewalls. After all, who can't receive an Excel spreadsheet? "Basically, it's come about because we recognized that a lot of people have fairly restrictive internet and security policies at work," Clandillon told Wired.com. "What we really liked was that we could [...]
