Researchers at the University of South Australia have found a new use for AC/DC music – to help create a coating around particles within chemotherapy treatment to better deliver the drug to a patient's tumor.
According to a recent study by Prof. Nico Voelcker, using rock music, specifically "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC in this case, helps give the particles a better coating before they're delivered to a tumor.
“The micro particles are porous, basically they are like a sponge. You fill them up with a drug, but of course you want to prevent the drug from escaping, and that is why we create the coating,” he said
“Normally we would ignite a plasma onto the surface. The problem with doing that is you only form the coating on one side of the particle, the side that is exposed. But the side of the particle on the surface, the other side, is not going to get coated.”
“That is where we came up with the idea of using a loud speaker that we would play into the system. We would turn that loudspeaker to a song that it would vibrate and the particles would bounce up and down. The chaotic frequencies worked well and gave you a more homogenous coating.”
Voelcker says the use of rock music raised efficacy from anywhere between two-fold to 100-fold, and he hopes the strategy can be tested on other drugs… because hey, if you've got an excuse to blast good music while saving lives, why wouldn't you?

Figures that you'd like this Satanic band.
AC/DC's philosophy and music not only drove Bon Scott to a premature death, but the U.S. Army used AC/DC's music as “psychological torture” to drive Manuel Noriega out of the Vatican Embassy and into prison. During the American invasion of Panama in 1989, troops blasted AC/DC's “Highway to Hell” in order to drive Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega from the Vatican embassy where he had taken refuge (a tactic also used by the FBI at Waco).

In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

AC/DC's music didn't kill Bon Scott, you Black Lives Matter loving tool. His excessive drinking did.
lol

Did you hear about Brian Johnson's deafness? They told him to stop touring immediately or face permanent deafness.
I had tickets for March 23.
Rumor has it Axl Rose will be the Guest vocalist to finish the tour dates.

I heard today at work... but I never heard about Johnsons "deafness". I figured he got tired of touring.
The one band I've always regretted not seeing live was G-N-R's. If Axl is their frontman, I'll buy tickets.

I saw them in 94. They were 2 hours late. We were about to leave. Then they came out and played for 3 hours and kicked ass. Most bands play for 2 hours.
My son wanted to see them and we went to the fake Guns N Roses show a few years ago. It was pretty good but not like with Slash.
They played this a few days ago. There tickets go on sale soon.
