AC/DC have unleashed the music video for their new single 'Play Ball', featuring a variety of bikini clad women playing sport. Watch the video below.

The video features some performance footage of the band against a green screen, focussing on Angus Young, Brian Johnson and bassist Cliff Williams. Intercut with whimsical archive sporting material (featuring nuns, animals and a a bizarre series of pool trickshots), it also features the AC/DC prerequisite of scantily clad women (particularly playing football in the mud and the Lingerie Bowl).

2014 has been a difficult year for AC/DC and the video notably does not feature rhythm guitar player Malcolm Young, who has been forced to retire due to ill health. Neither does the video feature drummer Phil Rudd, who last week faced a charge for attempting to procure murder, which was eventually dropped, and for possession of methamphetamine and cannabis, drug charges that he still faces.

The interplay between Angus Young and his nephew, and rhythm guitar replacement, Stevie Young is natural and fills up most of the speakers as it should on an AC/DC release. Brian Johnson's voice still soars to impressive highs and quivers and rasps in equal measure.

AC/DC will release Rock or Bust on 2 December.
