In December of 2022 i had the pleasure of watching Lupin Zero, yet another prequel to the franchise, but this time from when Lupin and Jigen were still kids going to school. It’s pretty good and while watching, i immediately thought of pairing it with AC/DC. Only recently have i learned to fully appreciate their Music and by now i love mostly everything they did. But one song that stands out to me is For Those About to Rock. I’m in love with it ever since watching the River Plate concert. I wanted to edit to it for a while now and already had another vague concept. But then Lupin Zero came along and basically stole it away. I had one concern though and that is it’s length. This is the third longest AMV i’ve ever done and AMVs usually don’t get better with increased length. But i don’t dare to cut this song down, so i’ll take whatever punishment awaits me.

I started editing a proof of concept in January of 2023. Back then i was still unsure whether it should be For those about to Rock or Rock or Bust. But since i was also still busy with my other Lupin III AMV “Return”, i let the project rest until late April 2024.

This AMV is dedicated to Malcolm Young, the co-founder of AC/DC who sadly passed away in 2017. While certainly dying too young, he also died a Young. See what i did there? Die Young is a catch phrase among Rock Stars. It also refers to the age of the protagonists in this AMV, as well as a certain character in Lupin Zero dying young. That’s it for now.
