28 Mar 2009 1:01 AM
The Czech Republic's outgoing prime minister .. has conceded his remark suggesting the US plan to counter the global economic crisis is the road to hell .. were sparked by heavy metal band AC/DC.
Czech media says MIREK TOPOLANEK has told a television show AC/DC played their cult song 'Highway to Hell' in Prague last week.
TOPOLANEK'S comment to the European Parliament earlier this week risks souring European Union relations with the US ahead of next week's Group of 20 meeting in London with US President BARACK OBAMA.
TOPOLANEK was forced to resign as prime minister on Thursday .. after his government lost a confidence vote in the country's parliament.
