10 Most Popular Classic Rock Bands On Facebook

Everybody's favorite lads from Dublin always have something up their sleeves, which makes them popular with nearly 10 million people in the Facebook nation. As the band wraps up their current tour, they'll soon shift towards a planned fall celebration of the classic 'Achtung Baby' release, with deluxe editions for everyone - as long as you want to pay, that is.

The Axl Rose experience still ropes them in by the boatload and it's a surreal mind-bending experience for all involved, even guitarist DJ Ashba, who says that touring the States again is one of the "main big goals" for their future.

Following a brief hiatus and drummer Chad Smith's tequila-soaked Chickenfoot experience with Sammy Hagar, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are finally back with a new album, which will find them once again forging ahead without the services of John Frusciante. His replacement, longtime guitar tech John Klinghoffer, debuts on the new Rick Rubin-produced 'I'm With You,' the band's 10th studio album. 'I'm With You' can be yours on August 30.

'Wayne's World' introduced a whole new generation of people to the rock music of Queen and two decades later, the popular band is celebrating its 40th anniversary with expanded reissues of all of their albums. We will rock you, indeed. May they never stop.

Nirvana's epic 'Nevermind' album is 20 years old this year and the milestone will be celebrated with an epic deluxe package from the Seattle grunge pioneers, loaded with scads of bonus content. This will either make you feel very happy or very old. We're just looking forward to turning it up, very loud.

By our count, 13.3 million is more than "halfway there." If we had to vote on it, we'd say that Bon Jovi is already "livin' on a prayer." These popular Jersey boys have seen many millions of faces on-line, and they continue to rock them all, frequently.

There is no dark side of the moon, really. But 14 million fans have digitally expressed their love for Pink Floyd while waiting somewhat patiently for the new Floyd catalog reissues that are coming out later this year. And of course there's always that hope that the band will one day rise again and tour. Wouldn't that be nice?

This year has been an embarrassment of riches for AC/DC fans with the Bon Scott-era 'Let There Be Rock' finally seeing release on DVD and Blu-ray, as well as a killer DVD/Blu-ray release of Brian Johnson and the boys, recorded on the latest tour. In honor of what would have been Bon's 65th birthday, we picked out our 10 favorite songs from the Bon era.

Metallica have long been one of the more popular and fan-friendly bands on the web, offering plenty of pictures, video and audio from nearly everything they do.

All you need is love and if love is all you need, nearly 20 million people have shown their love for The Beatles. Is it surprising that Beatlemania still runs strong even in the digital age? Of course not. Ringo may be a bit cranky about autographs, but we'll always have Facebook.
