AC/DC brought in Bob Richards (Shogun, Adrian Smith Band) to handle drum duties for the shoot for "Play Ball" and the album's title track. "They have never come out with any pretense to be anything else than the best rock and roll band in the world," said Mallet.

Due December 2, "Rock Or Bust" is the first AC/DC album in 6 years and first without founding member Malcolm Young, who retired from the group to deal with ongoing health issues related to dementia.
