iTunes..Highway to hell?

WELCOME to the new age where CDs just ain't the best thing anymore.
iTunes have dominated the music industry but some, including Brian Johnson (pic) of Aussie band AC/DC still remain sceptical and perfer songs burnt and sealed.
The band refuses to put their latest album 'Black Ice' on iTunes, adding the move was a "bid to protect the album format from the Internet's emphasis on buying single songs."
"Maybe I'm just being old-fashioned, but this iTunes, God bless 'em, it's going to kill music if they're not careful," lead singer Brian Johnson, 61, told Reuters.
"It's a...monster, this thing," he said. "It just worries me. And I'm sure they're just doing it all in the interest of making as much...cash as possible. Let's put it this way, it's certainly not for the...love, let's get that out of the way, right away," he said.
Black Ice, featuring bluesy power riffs in its 15 songs list is the band's 15th album.
