R.I.P Bon

[maddog87]

^^wtf??

[Brewer14]

Do you think Angus would still run around and duck walk if he was rhythm and malcolm was lead?

Probably, knowing him.

[Ulysses]

there was no fight geezer got brought back to his room. was reading an interview with Angus and they asked him "how many SGs do you have" and Angus replied "I dunno its in the hundreds now I lost count years ago"

I've heard from a few sources that Malcolm got stuck into him but nevertheless, I read a book on AC/DC about a year ago that outlined the inicident. Anyway, another good one is when Bon Scott and some bloke from Atlantic were at the same urinal and the bloke said something about the lightning bolt and and what it meant, Bon gave him an upper cut for his troubles.

[Follow The Reaper]

^^wtf??
Well you see, Bon Scott AC/DC's second lead singer died, and R.I.P. means Rest In Peace. But what AngusMaster so cleverly did, was instead of writing out Rest In Peace, he took the initials, and did R.I.P., and instead of writing Bon Scott, he simply wrote Bon.

[maddog87]

Well you see, Bon Scott AC/DC's second lead singer died,
ummmmm yeah i have known that since i was little i was talking about such a noobish and random post

[Follow The Reaper]

And I was being sarcastic you stupid ****.

[maddog87]

omg i was kidding,take it easy emo kid....

[guitarplayer91]

i think there new singer was better than bon scott i always get there names mixed up i think it was brian johnson

[maddog87]

no comment

[angusmaster]

i know it was a pretty random post , but i just thought i should say it.

[Follow The Reaper]

Bump.

[Brewer14]

Bump.

What was the point of that?

[Follow The Reaper]

No one had posted in a while, and I wanted something to talk about, but couldn't think of anything, and hoped you could start up a conversation on AC/DC.

[Fish]

I tried playing like angus young but i stubbed my toe on the washing machine.

[Follow The Reaper]

I tried playing like angus young but i stubbed my toe on the washing machine.
Wow, you're an idiot. :thumb:

[maddog87]

I tried playing like angus young but i stubbed my toe on the washing machine.
you mean the duckwalk????i used to suck at it,but now ive got it down pat. i just worry about banging my guitar on something......................................... ...........wow that would suck!!

[Brewer14]

Anyone else think Bon was underrated as a songwriter?

[maddog87]

err, yeah, i guess kinda, he had some great material that was going to be relase but he died and the head of the record company had it all destroyed because they didnt want the band to play his songs without him. malcom had sen them and i think that was all, but he said it was some of his best... man i wish bon could have lived at least long enough to release them, that would have been awsome

[BassMasta2487]

you mean the duckwalk????i used to suck at it,but now ive got it down pat. i just worry about banging my guitar on something......................................... ...........wow that would suck!!

I tried doing that once playing with my cover band. As you can probably tell from my name, I was the bass player, but our lead player was a little sick and not feeling very "Angus" that night. Anyways, I tried doing the duck walk and ended up playing the rest of the show with one shoe. I never got my other shoe back.

[maddog87]

^^hahaha :lol:

[Follow The Reaper]

Howcome everyone on here are morons when they try to do a duckwalk?

[maddog87]

its not that hard once you practice, just dont do it in a small room

[Bon_Scottie]

I tend to do it at little gigs we have.

Normally when we're doing our cover of... well, many AC/DC tracks.

[BassMasta2487]

I just didn't realize it would take so much practice. Our lead player could just do it naturally, so I figured, hey, if he can do it on the first try, so can I. And, as a result, I am now known as "one shoe'd wonder".

[maddog87]

i can do it naturally without a guitar, but with one takes practice..

***random trivia question***
during what video production did bon break his leg, and then drink what in the ambulance??

[BassMasta2487]

It was the Let there Be Rock video. He broke it jumping out of the pulpit. I don't know the second part though.

Trivia: During the Let there Be Rock video, what disgusting behavior did Phil Rudd exhibit that Angus won't let him live down to this day?

[maddog87]

he drank jack daniels


i dont know about the second one though, ill have to go look at the video......

[rockbender]

back in black ROCKS

[maddog87]

oooooookkkkkkkk............................

[AB/CD]

was it picking his nose cos i remember Angus mentioning that during an interview before

[ok lateralus]

Back in Black is a good record, and Angus is a great guitarist but thats about it.

[BassMasta2487]

Bingo. He picked his nose with his sticks.

Next question...

What was Angus and Malcolm's joking reason for why they picked Brian Johnson?

This one might be hard...

[bmxrunner]

Bingo. He picked his nose with his sticks.

his name was johnson! duh :rolleyes:

[maddog87]

he was playing pool with a bunch of their freinds during the audition and they were about to end it when they started talking to him

other than that i cant think of anything right now.

[BassMasta2487]

No, they jokingly said they picked him because he was the only one who didn't ask them to play "smoke on the water". I didn't think anyone would get that.

[angusmaster]

Man , you all know alot about ac/dc , i thought i was a big fan. :lol:

[Follow The Reaper]

No, they jokingly said they picked him because he was the only one who didn't ask them to play "smoke on the water". I didn't think anyone would get that.
That's because it's not true.

[Brewer14]

How do you all know all this stuff? Jeez..

[BassMasta2487]

No, it's true, I read it in an interview that Angus and Malcolm did after AC/DC got inducted into the R&R hall of fame in '03. I read it about two days ago.

[Ulysses]

Anyone else think Bon was underrated as a songwriter?

He wrote lyrics that suited the music perfectly and that is all that matters in regards to this circumstance.

[napalm89]

he was playing pool with a bunch of their freinds during the audition and they were about to end it when they started talking to him

other than that i cant think of anything right now.
^^thats true..

[BassMasta2487]

Yeah that's true, they said they almost skipped over him cause he was so little.

[Follow The Reaper]

No, it's true, I read it in an interview that Angus and Malcolm did after AC/DC got inducted into the R&R hall of fame in '03. I read it about two days ago.
Really, cause I just read the same article in Guitar Legends and they say nothing of it.

[BassMasta2487]

It wasn't in guitar legends.

[rippa32]

It did happen ive heard of it as well.

[BassMasta2487]

Yeah, I found the interview on some random site while I was looking for clips of the induction. I tried to find the site again but I forgot what search engine I used and what I actually searched for. But rest assured, it's true.

[i like arab girls]

I've heard from a few sources that Malcolm got stuck into him but nevertheless, I read a book on AC/DC about a year ago that outlined the inicident. Anyway, another good one is when Bon Scott and some bloke from Atlantic were at the same urinal and the bloke said something about the lightning bolt and and what it meant, Bon gave him an upper cut for his troubles.
An uppercut? Is that figuratively speaking?

[BassMasta2487]

If what most people say about Bon is true...it's probably literal. Remember, the dude got turned down from the Aussie army because they said he was mentally unstable.

[lightningmetal666]

Hey, I heard a rumor that Bon was a limo driver for the band before he joined with them. Is this true?

[BassMasta2487]

Yeah, that ones true too. When he first joined he asked if he could play drums. One time he actually did. Mark Evans and Phil Rudd were late to a gig so Malcolm played bass and Bon played drums and people just thought it was part of the act.

[Brewer14]

He wrote lyrics that suited the music perfectly and that is all that matters in regards to this circumstance.

Right, I agree with you there. I also meant songs like "Ride On", "Overdose", and "Night Prowler", to name a few, are excellent songs, but people still say every AC/DC song is about "balls and drinking and rock n roll".

[Follow The Reaper]

Yeah, that ones true too. When he first joined he asked if he could play drums. One time he actually did. Mark Evans and Phil Rudd were late to a gig so Malcolm played bass and Bon played drums and people just thought it was part of the act.
Actually, Mark and Phil weren't their so Bon played drums, and Malcolm and Angus still played their regular instruments.

[Brewer14]

Actually, Mark and Phil weren't their so Bon played drums, and Malcolm and Angus still played their regular instruments.

So Bon sang while drumming? And they didn't have a bassist?

[Klander Brigade]

So Bon sang while drumming? And they didn't have a bassist?

Of course they has a bassist, Cliff Williams.

AC/DC, imo, is ok, but the music doesn't have much to it. And just so things might get cleared up....

I know they have a bassist (although you can't tell by listening to most of their songs :p ); I was wondering if anyone played bass at the gig Reaper was talking about.

[BassMasta2487]

Yeah, read the thread before you say that. We weren't talking about the lineup. We were talking about a specific gig where Mark Evans and Phil Rudd were late, so Bon played drums.

BTW: I'm 99% sure that the article I read that in said that Malcolm played bass until Mark Evans got there. He was the bass player for awhile before, so its not like he didn't know the songs.

[Brewer14]

BTW: I'm 99% sure that the article I read that in said that Malcolm played bass until Mark Evans got there. He was the bass player for awhile before, so its not like he didn't know the songs.

Weird, I never knew Malcolm could play bass.

[BassMasta2487]

Well, it's not hard if you're a guitar player to just pick up the bass and play it. But there was a point after Larry Van Kreidt left and before Mark Evans came where it was a four piece and Malcolm played bass, Angus on Guitar, Phil Rudd on drums, and Bon singing. Actually their brother George played bass sometimes. I think he sang too.

[AB/CD]

ah gee u left stevie young outta yer list

[BassMasta2487]

The nephew? I'd leave him out too. I wouldn't count him just cause he wasn't with the band for very long. Not even worth adding.

[rippa32]

I would like to clear a few things up. Bon Scott never played drums, this is a rumour as he played occasionaly with previous bands and before anyone says anything, he was not a roadie. That rumour came around cause Bon used to drive them around a lot and people assumed he was their chaffuer.

[BassMasta2487]

He only played drums once. It was just a gag to cover for Phil Rudd being late to the gig.

[houses_of_holy]

Does anyone reckon AC/DC will do Donington next year to coincide with their new album. If they do it would be be great!!!!!!!!

[_HiGhVoLtAgE_]

didnt dave evans leave them right before a gig and they found bon scott at the last second?
just somethin i seen on the internet

[BassMasta2487]

I never figured out the exact details of that. But it's generally accepted that Bon knew them before he was the singer and they let him in because they liked him and he just ended up staying. Beyond that I never bothered to learn. I should. I'm gonna be up all night now.

[lightningmetal666]

Another question that'll get ya scratching yer noodles. Right before Phil split with the band, who do you think won that fist fight between him and Malcolm?

[lightningmetal666]

acdc made me take up guitar :thumb:

Same here. After hearing for those about to rock and Hells Bells I knew that I had to play.

[rippa32]

Yeah I used to think that too, but I picked up a biography of Bon so I know lotsa stuff about him now.

I have a suspicion they will. If they do then I'm going.

Its meant to be out either end of this year or early next year.

We weren't talking about in the studio, or on a regular basses, but for a gig when Phil showed up late he did.

[BassMasta2487]

Another question that'll get ya scratching yer noodles. Right before Phil split with the band, who do you think won that fist fight between him and Malcolm?

Phil. He's noticably bigger than Malcolm. Actually I think he's the tallest in the band right now. Plus Malcolm is kinda skinny.

[YaNaSdEeP]

Any band that can survive for 18 albums deserves some credit. What other rock band has done that?

[BassMasta2487]

Def Leppard hasn't been around that long, but they have yet to break up...so I guess they're on the way. And if they can get through a drummer with one arm, what can't they get through?

[lightningmetal666]

Phil. He's noticably bigger than Malcolm. Actually I think he's the tallest in the band right now. Plus Malcolm is kinda skinny.


I'd say malcolm, cuz angus would've definitely have gotten involved and we all know how crazy angus can get. :lol: :thumb:

[RNR]

Def Leppard hasn't been around that long, but they have yet to break up...so I guess they're on the way. And if they can get through a drummer with one arm, what can't they get through?

I bet that a drummer with one arm could play all of AC/DC's songs.

Eh, they're not a drumming band anyways. they're a guitar band.

[BassMasta2487]

Either way...the dude has one arm. You can't deny that that's gotta be tough. I play drums too, and I can't imagine doing it with one arm. Could be cause I have an acoustic kit, but still.

[Follow The Reaper]

Yeah, but he has bass pedals to simulate the snare and things like that, but its still got to be hard, but it is his job, he shouldn't complain. I know you didn't say that, I was jus adding.

[BassMasta2487]

I know, but we probably shouldn't turn this into a Def Leppard thread. My fault.

[lightningmetal666]

I finally got a bunch of my AC/DC CD's back from my friend. I swear, the guy borrows like a bunch at a time and takes forever giving them back. We'll just see if he'll borrow them again...................

Anyways, it's just great to be able to rock out to my Highway to Hell and FTATR.
I haven't listened to AC/DC in a while so I'm kinda "Rediscovering" them.

[Slash Jr.]

AC/DC is one of the greatest bands in rock n' roll period. Angus is an amazing guitar player..although sometimes overrated..id bet half of the ppl on the site were influenced one way or another by AC/DC...they didnt care what anyone thought and went out there and gave u rock n roll..and thats what its about.

[lightningmetal666]

One thing that bothered me when ppl flamed this band was that they said that AC/DC were nothing but a bunch of 3 chord hacks. What burns me even more is that they (at least the ppl that I know) are all fans of the Ramones (I like the Ramones keep this in mind). If I remember correctly, I saw an interview were Johnny was saying that he only knew how to play a G barre chord and an A barre chord. That's it. I'm like ok, you hate AC/DC because they only play 3 chords but for a while the guitarist of your favorite band can only play 2?
The logic just doesn't add up.

[thunderzstruck]

This is coming from a HUGE ex-Ac/dc fan.

Ac/dc was ALL I listened to about a year ago. I could not fathom how anyone couldn't like them. But as I got into more music ac/dc got REALLY bland and... simple. Now I love simple music sometimes (I listen to greenday SOMETIMES) But as you go on in music you will find out how clinched they are

...I now can't listen to more than 3 songs by them. I'm not saying they're bad (everyones opinions) but that is the general flow of music tastes simple---> complex

/Doesn't have anything to do with anything but it doesn't matter

[Romencer17]

Dude AC/DC rocks. And Malcolm is the better guitarist. He started the band, and he was actually thinking of getting keyboards in the band instead of his little brother, Angus.

[lightningmetal666]

We all know malcolm is great, but angus does deserve some credit. While most of us guitar players can play pentatonic scales as good as the next, he can at least make them sound good.

[thunderzstruck]

Dude AC/DC rocks. And Malcolm is the better guitarist. He started the band, and he was actually thinking of getting keyboards in the band instead of his little brother, Angus.


ummm technically Malcolm hasn't shown he's the better guitarist. Angus is always praiising him but truthfully Malcolm just stands in the back and plays open chords, not that hard.

[lightningmetal666]

Well..... malcolm does play harder chords than open, but not by much. His sense of time and rhythm is fantastic.

[thunderzstruck]

Well..... malcolm does play harder chords than open, but not by much. His sense of time and rhythm is fantastic.


ummm the rythm they play in ac/dc is VERY simple. VERY, I'm not flaming or anything (ac/dc does write some catchy tunes) but anyone playing for more than a year could play any ac/dc rythm. For a good rythm section check out Rush, their bassist sings AND plays. Basslines aren't easy too

[AB/CD]

well u no like to be able to do what malcolm doesi mean look at him he pounds his strings for 2 hours and during an extended version of let there be rock on tours

[Follow The Reaper]

Well..... malcolm does play harder chords than open, but not by much. His sense of time and rhythm is fantastic.
Any schmuck could do chords to 4/4 time, I thk he's good at that, but if AC/DC started playing in maybe 7/8 time then I would give Malcolm more credit, all I've really heard from ANgus that Malcolm does is play those barre chords with his hands, and that Angus can't because his fingers are so small. So all Angus has said is that if he had bigger fingers he could play what Malcolm does.

[lightningmetal666]

Believe me when I tell you that when you're jamming with a band, somebody is going to f**k up on even a simple 4/4 time signature. It's like some sort of curse. For the most part yes anyone can do it. Consistency however is the hardest thing to master out of any instrument and Malcolm can do it.

[Follow The Reaper]

Really, whenever yo udo that it's really hard, cause in my band the rythm guitar has been playing for barely a year, and he can keep time very easily. And about the consistency thing, if you're doint the same time signature, and almost the exact same beat everysong for 30 years, then you should be consistent, or not be in the band.

[woundedmonkey]

the other thing about ac/dc is, when they aren't live, it kind of sounds dull.... at least it does for me

[Follow The Reaper]

Really, I think that the guitar comes to life when they play live.

[thunderzstruck]

well u no like to be able to do what malcolm doesi mean look at him he pounds his strings for 2 hours and during an extended version of let there be rock on tours


every other band that tours can do the same

Their live stuff is so much cooler. I have one of their live cds and it's a great concert. By far better than their album stuff.

NP: Sin City live

[thunderzstruck]

ac/dc live is really good. I must admit Angus is awesome onstage

Anyone have let there be rock on VHS? haha It's a really good show

[Joe]

ac/dc live is really good. I must admit Angus is awesome onstage

Can you still get it on VHS? Sounds good.

I don't actually have any of their albums, just that live one (It's just called AC/DC Live).

[thunderzstruck]

Can you still get it on VHS? Sounds good.

I have that album too. double disc or single? I got double

I think the VHS is discontinued but you cam easily find it on ebay (were I got it) Highly reccommended, shows how great their shows were back then.

During whole lotta rosie solo (I think) Angus's guitar string breaks so he goes backstage and comes out with a new one and it's out of tune so he's playing the solo while tuning it :amaze:

[StarCarlton]

AC/DC is a great band if your in the mood to listen to them

There is a new band out called "Big Machine"
Brian Johnson writes all the tunes for them.
Their singer Kelly Schaefer has been in other popular bands.
Here is their website:
http://www.bigmachinerocks.com/

[EdwardTheGreat]

I got a vinyl copy of Powerage 2 days ago for 4 quid, but when looking at Side One I found it says the first track is Gimme A Bullet (It says this on the little track listing bit in the middle). The sleeve says Rock N' Roll ****ation, and it does start off with ****ation. Is this normal, or I have got a different/old copy?

[AB/CD]

I have let there be rock on VHS however i did not need Ebay i just needed my dad who gave me his copy that he bought on the day it was released

[Ulysses]

I borrowed that Video from the library, its not too bad either although the tape wears out eventually and it was showing signs of depletion

[1One1]

AC\DC owns. Great Blues hard rock.

[Ulysses]

Top of the line hard rock that hasn't since been replicated in the same precise, electrifying way by any band.

[Grinners]

Hey has anyone heard anything new about Ac/Dc new album. i heard rumours like a couple of months back but theres been no news of it for ages. Are they still recordin it or wat

[Ulysses]

I heard something mentioned somewhere back in this thread that Brian Johnson said that AC/DC were recording a new album, and I've also heard it will be a double-album but I haven't heard anything recently. It was rumoured to have been released in February and then May and so on but it still hasn't hit the shelves.

[cowboy_from_hell]

just let me say in advance that a lot of people will probably disagree with me on this but im kind of hypocritical on this so here i go....

AC/DC is a good band in the sense that they play catchy tunes that you can hear for the first time and sing along to or tap your foot to. but.... Thats because there songs a simple but good. AC/DC isnt all that great of musicians they've won people over simplicity and catchyness

It doesn't have to be complicated to be great music. And dont forget they've influenced so many people in doing this simple stuff so you cant say they've done anything wrong.

[rippa32]

Well done for quoting something 94 pages ago. As for the new album, it will not be a double, Johnson said that as a joke because there was so much material going around.

[Systemofadown]

AC/DC is a pioneer of rock and Roll ther best cd is High Way To Hell and Ac/Dc Live

[Hep Kat]

ac/dc live is one of the best cds ever seeing as how ac/dc is one of few bands that actually gets better live

[rippa32]

One of the few?

Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin(big difference here)
Deep Purple
Iron Maiden
Pink Floyd
Metallica
The Who
Jimi Hendrix
Rainbow
KISS

plus many more I cant think of at the moment.

[Ulysses]

If You Want Blood (You've Got It) Liv rips AC/DC Live to pieces in my opinion. Awesome record, once Angus explodes into Riff Raff you don't really look back.

[rippa32]

Ive heard Riff Raff from that album, incredible I tells ya.

[AB/CD]

personally i think that if you want blood is a brilliant album however i dont like it that much i prefer watching let there be rock cos i think back then with Bon they were more of a show band live.

[BassMasta2487]

I have If you Want Blood, and I also have Alive! by KISS, which is another great live album. A lot of people say the greatest live album. But I think If you want Blood is better. You can tell that it wasn't recorded in some arena, so the crowd gets a lot more into it.

[Bon_Scottie]

If You Want Blood (You've Got It) Liv rips AC/DC Live to pieces in my opinion. Awesome record, once Angus explodes into Riff Raff you don't really look back.

Definatly agreed, thats why its my favourite AC/DC album.

Ever single track, is a killer.

[Brewer14]

If You Want Blood (You've Got It) Liv rips AC/DC Live to pieces in my opinion. Awesome record, once Angus explodes into Riff Raff you don't really look back.

That album is so incredible.

IFWB >>>>>>>>>>>> AC/DC Live

[Ulysses]

Yeah, its just so raw and the sound is so punching and powerful. The tracks all seem superior on If You Want Blood than on their respective albums. There isn't a single song that I skip when listening to it.

[rippa32]

I think its a shame that Angus does all his solos except for Let There Be Rock, the same on both studio and live versions of song, theres just something great about improv.

[Ulysses]

Yeah definately, improvisation is just awesome to watch and listen to, you can feel the creative energy. I have grown to accept that he plays all his solo's the same. If I want to listen to improvisation which I really like there are plenty of other bands, especially Jam Bands and other Classic Rock groups.

[rippa32]

Yes I know. Tony Iommi of Sabbath and Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple both do alot of improvisation, in studio and live, but even sometimes Iommi does it the same, I always feel let down by that. I find it hard that he can learn it, I just can't learn solos i'm always improvising. I actually tried to write one once, it ended up as improv and ill never be able to repeat it again.

[Ulysses]

Yeah, I've got a similar problem when playing guitar, but I think it comes down to patience and persistence, I can't be bothered learning a solo note for note and it feels better playing something you are making up on the spot whether it be original material or solo's in cover songs.

[rippa32]

That's true I was listening to Highway to Hell today and playing along. Then the solo came up and I just improvised, it was quick, easy and a hell of a lot more fun than that time I treid to learn a Sabbath solo note for note.

[Ulysses]

Yeah exactly, its sweet to get your own groove going, and improvisation comes in very handy for creating your own music as I have found out by experimenting in various keys.

[rippa32]

Experimenting in various keys? Do you mean like changing keys mid solo? I did that once, I stayed on the same fret but changed to differennt pentatonic shapes so effectively I was changing key, It sounded like utter crap but it was fun.

[Bon_Scottie]

Personally, I like the fact that he tends to play the solo's that he recorded for the track.

If we are doing a cover, and the solo sounds easy enough to play, I'll learn it. Gets the song spot on...

Where as, with our own tracks we've written, I'll improvise.

[rippa32]

How long have you guys played the guitar for?

[Ulysses]

Experimenting in various keys? Do you mean like changing keys mid solo? I did that once, I stayed on the same fret but changed to differennt pentatonic shapes so effectively I was changing key, It sounded like utter crap but it was fun.

Nah, not mid solo, I've still got a fair way to go to become an accomplished guitar player. I downloaded this CD of Blues in different keys and using the pentatonic shapes just solo over the music. Keys like A, D and G, nothing special.

[rippa32]

Oh yeah Ive got something similair, at the moment Im using it for ear training.

[Ulysses]

Yeah thats basically what I've been doing, they come in very handy for when I get tired of singing and playing songs for my upcoming HSC exams, which I am getting marked on for vocals, its a relief just to experiment a bit.

[rippa32]

We are getting off topic here but explain to me what HSC actually is. Im from Queensland so I do QCS.

[Brewer14]

I wish Angus would improv more. Whenever he does, it's great, but he definitly doesn't do it enough.

[rippa32]

Although hes a great guitarist his improv really isnt too good, thats maybe why he writes stuff note for note.

[Ulysses]

We are getting off topic here but explain to me what HSC actually is. Im from Queensland so I do QCS.

The HSC is the Higher School Certificate, from my understanding it's pretty much the equivalent of the QCS. It is assessment tasks with different weightings from Year 11 to the end of Year 12 which go towards the final mark. The bulk of the marks are gained in the Trial HSC and actual HSC, the actual HSC exams begin next at the beginning of next term. The marks go towards a UAI, if you want to get into University you'll need that. For me, I just want to go to art school, I'm not trying all that hard really, I just want to finish.

[rippa32]

Completely different, your school system Is better Ive heard. Our QCS(which Ive done) is basically an IQ test, it is **** and doesnt test anyones ability at school whatsoever.

[Ulysses]

Arr ok, I read in the newspaper the QCS is better than the HSC, doesn't seem like it, but really and honestly its all in the same league, bit of a joke. It's not what the real world is about, exams and so forth. Now rock'n'roll, thats something with a bit of substance to it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

They should just make it the same across all states.

[Ulysses]

Yeah, it would save confusion when going for a job or university in another state.

[Jono9119X]

do any of yous know if acdc is bringing out another cd anytime soon, or a world tour, any info will be greatly appreciated.

[rippa32]

They should just make it the same across all states.

They do, Queensland is the only one not to do it. Anyway back to MUCH more important things, Has anyone got Angus' Signature Guitar?

[Bon_Scottie]

I can only dream of an Angus signature SG.

Love everything about it, especially the plate.

[Brewer14]

do any of yous know if acdc is bringing out another cd anytime soon, or a world tour, any info will be greatly appreciated.

Their new CD should be coming out late this year/early next year

[lightningmetal666]

How long have you guys played the guitar for?


I've been playing for three years.


Hey you guys should try playing the intro to thunder struck on your High E or G string. It definitely has a different sound to it.

[Follow The Reaper]

Yeah, different meaning ****i. :)

[flipsk8rss]

their music is fun. and they do have occasional talented guitar riff i.e. thunderstruck
thunderstruck isnt that hard.

[thunderzstruck]

I learned thunderstruck after like 3 weeks of playing gutar

[Xureal]

Sometimes simplicity and a catchy tune are all you need to have great success.

Personally, I love AC/DC, not entirely sure why though.

[MrHigh]

ok when i saw the stiff upper lip video i was laughing my *** off at brian screaming cause it looks like he is singing from the gut and looks like he's about to barf out his stomach and intestines. Even though i really love AC/DC it was just hard to watch but its his fault for screaming so dam much he's gonna lose his frieken voice. Anyways they kicked major rock n roll *** when they were younger just like anyone.

[11THX3MEM]

I love AC/DC! I think their best two albums are the two Mutt Lang produced, "Highway to Hell" & "Back in Black". My favorite AC/DC tune is "Touch Too Much" off the "Highway to Hell" cd. One thing I haven't read in this thread is anything about AC/DC's guitar tone. I think Angus and Malcolm have an amazing guitar tone, especially on the "Highway to Hell" album. Humbuckers plugged straight into cranked JTM45's. IMHO, it don't get no better than that tonewise! One other thing that has been important to the band's great success is how well the brothers coordinate their playing. They're like a well oiled rock machine on stage and in the studio!

[rippa32]

Yes they do have a good tone. I personally prefer it when there is effects pedals used, not too much though otherwise you lose something then.

[Ulysses]

They are a well oiled machine in a sense and their coordination ability is instrumental in the powerful sound that, as simple as it is, cannot be reproduced

[Follow The Reaper]

Which means what, in lamens terms?

[rippa32]

They are a well oiled machine in a sense and their coordination ability is instrumental in the powerful sound that, as simple as it is, cannot be reproduced

Its not too hard to reproduce.

Marshall Amp:

Bass: 6
Mid: 9
Treble: 4.5
Gain: 3
Volume: Lots

[lightningmetal666]

Its not too hard to reproduce.

Marshall Amp:

Bass: 6
Mid: 9
Treble: 4.5
Gain: 3
Volume: Lots


Thanx, I've been trying to figure out their settings on my marshall and was close but I didn't jack the mids that high, but I did have the gain down low.

Hells Bells sounds better with more distortion though IMO.

[rippa32]

It does, but not the intro. If you play the intro with lots of distortion its one big noise and sounds incoherent. Oh also one more thing for any AC/DC song use the bridge pickup.

[Big J]

woot AD/DC much past their prime but still the shiz. I'd have to say fave song is For Those About To Rock. Angus is the best stage presence ever!! Even if he does keep it a bit simple.

Oh and for anyone who has the Family Jewels DVD, who is that bald drummer who has a facial expression like he's about to turn into the incredible hulk when he's playin. He plays in some of the songs near the end of the DVD, like in the Thunderstruck clip.

[rippa32]

AD/DC? haha reminds me of that radio call. The drummer is Chris Slade, he only drummed for The Razors Edge album and AC/DC live.

[Big J]

ahh righto thx for that. and what radio call :confused:

[rippa32]

It's hilarious, your typo just reminded me of it, ill upload it soon. Just remember it IS real.

[Big J]

lol i always say it like that :p

hurry up u've got me all excited now :smash:

[ac_dc_ray]

ac/dc rock they have got killer rifs and solo's and i agree with highvoltgerocknroll about listening to thunderstruck, moneytalks etc... they dont sound the same. but i must admit they're new album stiff upper lip does have two songs that sound the same satellite blues and give it up they are the same intro's only they changed it a bit. which is a dissapontment but there old stuf is better eg back in black , you shook me all night long, hells bells they all sound different but still they are a rocking band!

[Elnimio]

Dear Christ do they suck.

[KillTheEmo101]

AC/DC was the single band that got me to love rock. Most of their songs are relatively simple but still are very catchy and get you singin along. Both Angus and Malcom are great guitarist and make the most catchy riffs I know. No one in their right mind can say that they had no talent when Bon Scott was alive and in. Yet I do agree that most the songs after Back in Black are pretty repetetive and sometimes boring. Still it sure beats the sh*t that artists shove down your throat now a days. And for the haters, go watch your MTV :)

[dr._feelgood]

Whoah, four n00bs posting in a row. Why did Elnimio come into this thread if he hates AC/DC so much?

[Follow The Reaper]

Whoah, four n00bs posting in a row
And might I say, what an amazing post of yours.

[Brewer14]

Dear Christ do they suck.

Isn't going into a band's official thread and stating they suck or something a bannable offense?

Either way, AC/DC > You

I LOVE YOU MAN!! you hit the nail right on the head most of the crap that comes out nowadays is soo bad eg. the killers and a whole lotta teen idols :evil:

Oh and Dr. Feelgood, shove it

hehe Whole Lotta Teen Idols, could be a song inspired the same way Whole Lotta Rosie was.

[Big J]

haha cheers rippa it'd b appreciated

And it'd have to be a pretty crappy song to do Teen Idols justice

[angusmaster]

I know this is kinda off subject,but i just wanted to ask,to make this thread more alive,what your favorite AC/DC album,mines Back N Black.

[Follow The Reaper]

Powerage for sure.

[thunderzstruck]

ummm your an idiot

Back in black isn't early stuff

powerage, high voltage ect... is

[Big J]

hey man give him a break its early-ish, as in late 80s

and back in black is by far the best

im soo disappointed with the crap they're pumpin out atm

[rippa32]

There newy should be good. Also what I mean about the teeny idol thing was that Whole Lotta Rosie is about some fat chick Bon did as a dare one night. So Whole Lotta Tenny Idols would be about Bon doing teeny idols.

[Big J]

ahh right i didn't know that lol

i'll be impressed when you write me some lyrics :D

[bodger]

why is AC/DC the greatest rock band of all time?
1. they are yet to write a bad song.
2. they put on an awesome show.
3. they came from the greatest country in the world, AUSTRALIA

to put it simply, AC/DC kick huge f***ing a**, if you dont like em or think they are repeditive you can eat a decroded peice of crap you feaking idoiot!

ummm Why is someone an idiot because they think Ac/dc is repetative? I don't even like ac/dc anymore (don't ask me why I still post in here) I have developed my musical tastes further than ac/dc recently

[RNR]

1. they are yet to write a bad song.


For those about to rock. Uhh, utter crap. I think they should have jsut quit after Back In Black. Obviously their creativity well ran dry after that.

Bon Scott + the first Brian Johnson album is where it's at.

[thunderzstruck]

For those about to rock. Uhh, utter crap. I think they should have jsut quit after Back In Black.


For those about to rock was a good song... but they only have a select few good moments after back in black

[RNR]

A very select few momments.

[Ulysses]

Yeah I tend to agree with that statement, The Razor's Edge has its highlights and I don't find a few other tracks from various albums like Sink the Pink, Fly On The Wall, Hard As A Rock, Whisky on the Rocks and Stiff Upper Lip but nothing, nothing compares to their material pre-1980.

[x_Evilized_x]

I like AC/DC, not one of my favorite bands, but still pretty **** good. =) Catchy songs I think.

[Grutte Pier]

AC/DC is my favourite rock band ever. Real straight to the point music.

[AB/CD]

ladsh aint posted here in a while (due to the amount of noob posts) heard AC/DC are gonna do a mini UK tour after Christmas this year

[Bon_Scottie]

Oh hell yes, they better do.

Favourite album is If you want blood, but as for they should of retired after Back in Black, hell no, There are many many great Johnson songs that I love to listen to. Three or four off each album, and they all add up.

[lightningmetal666]

I gave Flick of the Switch an unbiased listen and the songs are actually pretty good. I like the bands reasoning behind that album. Their last two albums were all these huge productions and for this album they just went back to their original sound. It was pretty good. They were a lot more stripped down. I think that's really why the album did so bad. They didn't have these huge cannons or a big @$$ bell. Just straight RnR.

[Brewer14]

Yeah, kinda like fly on the wall or blow up your video.

Anyone here have the Bonfire set? I like the way the BIB cover looks.
Kinda weird also is that one cd where they have Whole Lotta Rosie, but it has a different name. (I forget what it's original name was)

[acdc_problemchild07]

is AC/DC goin on a tour in the U.S.?

[Ulysses]

Most probably, when this new album comes out...whenever that may be.

Sure your not thinking of 'Beating around the bush'?

[lightningmetal666]

It could be betting around the bush but I was pretty sure they did Whole Lotta Rosie.

I personally don't own the box set but I had a friend that had it (talk about the freakish obsession with AC/DC that guy has) and I got to listen to stuff off of Rocks and Live at Atlantic Studios.

Whole Lotta Rosie is a pretty good song. Especially if you're in to fat chicks. Ewww...............................

[RNR]

Whole Lotta Rosie is their best song that i've heard (which is a lot of them). And it's not about fat chicks, it's about large chicks. Big difference... kinda

[Ulysses]

Its about a fat Tasmanian woman that he slept with once, now that is class.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

:lol:

I borrowed Let There Be Rock off my mate. Here is the thing, I had already had Overdose on mp3, and have heard Exodus' cover of it, but when I go to play Overdose on this CD, it is a different track, and the track listed as Problem Child, sounds like the Overdose that I had on mp3. Help me :(

[Ulysses]

I'm not sure, but the Exodus cover is pretty sweet as is the original of course.

[CockeyedMaverik]

hey can the good people from the AC/DC thread suggest some songs for me?

[lightningmetal666]

hey can the good people from the AC/DC thread suggest some songs for me?


Get the AC/DC live double cd set if you're just starting out. Nothing can compare to their live stuff and the set has all the essential AC/DC songs and the like. Being that no one can upload stuff anymore I can't help you out but if you have a p2p thingy you can check out stuff like hells bells (my fav. song by them) or hell ain't a bad place to be, whole lotta rosie, the jack, thunderstruck, cover of chuck berry's school days, etc. Listen and love 'em.

[Ulysses]

I've said this a number of times, but I think the double live cd set isn't nearly as good in raw powerful sound, electricity and of course vocals as "If You Want Blood...You've Got It", that live record is impeccable. Donwload Riff Raff if you want some solid rock n roll.

[guitaraddict21119]

[guitaraddict21119]

There is more then one Donnington jackass.

yeah but they didnt play in the same one on the same day they played in the show in england see for yourself

Yeah I have both of those and you're right but this guy is kinda new to AC/DC so I was trying to get him into both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras and let him get the full taste of their stuff instead of just Bon-only songs. I think Bon is the better lyricist and personality but Brian is still pretty cool.

[bassplayer51291]

I hate when people say that bands like ac dc and 3 doors down and green day are bad bands why are they so populalar if theyre that bad they sound good and thats all theat matters

I agree i can see why a lot of people don't like brian and only like bon. I started off with Brian and liked him off the back maybe thats why i like his voice so much hearing brian first will let you appreciate his era a little more.

[thunderzstruck]

I hate when people say that bands like ac dc and 3 doors down and green day are bad bands why are they so populalar if theyre that bad they sound good and thats all theat matters


Waht they're saying is the bands don't have much talent.

I agree i can see why a lot of people don't like brian and only like bon. I started off with Brian and liked him off the back maybe thats why i like his voice so much hearing brian first will let you appreciate his era a little more.

Im with you. I had gotten Live, Back In Black and Razors Edge before ever hearing Bon sing at all. The reason I like Brian so much(I still prefer Bon) is probably because he was the first I heard. And to the guy talking about 3 Doors Down. When were they popular?

[lightningmetal666]

I like a lot of bon scott songs like Whole Lotta Rosie, Hell Aio't a Bad Place To Be (and of course The Jack 'cuz the lyrics are fcking hilarious), but to this day my favorite song by them will always be hell's bells. It's their darkest and sickest song and the cover of it by Six Feet Under is really really cool.

I also the the intro riff to beating around the bush. If I had the money, I'd get their thick *** guitar book that has like 80 of their songs. I bought one in the past for a friend as a gift, and have been kicking myself for not just keeping it for myself. :lol:

I have to agree,bon is better IMO,but ya still gota like the brian stuff.

bon scott is acdc at its best brian was good but bon is the best

[Bon_Scottie]

Personally had heard Bon before Brian, but love tracks from both singers.

They're singer has to be the biggest load of ****e I've heard, ever.

[TyVeRsOn_03]

It surpirses me that AC/DC cold find a singer that sounds so much like bon.....he was the best and you can tell a difference....but not too much, but either way they had angus....and he was the one who drew all the people in

[GiB]

Ty get off the pc.

[Grutte Pier]

Bon Scott couldn't sing at all, what he did just sounded real good. He has an unique voice and that's always an advantage in music. He probably is my favorite singer of all time.

I thought someone would nail me for that. I like Bon Scott, probably the best rock frontmen ever, but I don't think he ever took any singing lessons. Not that that is a bad thing.

Well Never mind. Forget what I typed. Rock on.

:confused: Biggest load of what????

[angusmaster]

:confused: Biggest load of what????
Yea,i was wanderin the same thing.

[Bon_Scottie]

His voice is a bag of balls, thats what.

How can you listen to something like that?

I downloaded a few of their 'Graveyard classics'... and the music is great, but... have to turn it off when the singer comes in.

Back onto AC/DC, favourite track at the moment is either Show buisness or Get it hot.

I like Bon Scott, probably the best rock frontmen ever, but I don't think he ever took any singing lessons. Not that that is a bad thing.

I'd say its a good thing. Its not some over produced perfect little rock group. It's straight up rock and roll, and Bons voice and lyrics suit it to perfection.

[lightningmetal666]

I think I'll try to re-learn beating around the bush. I never got past the intro because it was so cool and hard.

[Follow The Reaper]

I'd say its a good thing. Its not some over produced perfect little rock group. It's straight up rock and roll, and Bons voice and lyrics suit it to perfection.
What does Bon not having singing lessons add to if it's overproduced or not? BTW, Bon, Angus, and Malcolm wrote the lyrics, not just Bon.





Anyone wanna do any songs for the Jam Session thread, I know pretty much every AC/DC song on guitar (Angus's part), and it would easy to program the drums.

[Bon_Scottie]

What does Bon not having singing lessons add to if it's overproduced or not? BTW, Bon, Angus, and Malcolm wrote the lyrics, not just Bon.

I know, but Bon delivered them superbly.

What I meant, is that half of the crap out these days is taken into the studio, over produced, and they play around with vocal sounds using all sorts of machines. Bon just gave the goods, no bull.

[Follow The Reaper]

So did and do a lot of people, a lot of bands aren't "Overproduced", some bands put stuff behind the vocals (Opeth), but a lot of bands just use their regular voices, including Brian, whom you hate. (I do too)

[TheNung]

Anyone who doesn't like AC/DC: You have no nuts.

[dr._feelgood]

I just watched the Live At Donington DVD. It was amazing and has rebirthed my interest in AC/DC. They put on quite a show.

[angusmaster]

Has anyone seen that stiff upper lip tour dvd,ive been thinking about buying it,but i wanna know if its good or not.

[Follow The Reaper]

I own it, it's pretty good, they did a good preformance, Angus ****ed up a little, but it's still good.

[angusmaster]

Im gonna buy it next time i see it then,thanks.

[Follow The Reaper]

No problem, it fails in comparrison to Donnington, but has better sound quality then No Bull.

[rippa32]

It also has better sound quality than Donington.

[Bon_Scottie]

Brain does squeel a tad on it, though.

[Ulysses]

Has anyone seen that stiff upper lip tour dvd,ive been thinking about buying it,but i wanna know if its good or not.

Yeah I've got and used to watch it a fair bit, Donnington is better though I'd say. Family Jewels is awesome, the old stuff is by far the best

[blue3]

I have Live at Donnington. It's my only AC/DC DVD so I don't really know what's better.

[Bon_Scottie]

I'd go for Donnington, or even if you can... Let there be rock.

[rippa32]

Yes Let There Be Rock would be great. We need it on DVD.

[Grutte Pier]

Family Jewels could have used some more live stuff. We need Let there be Rock on DVD.

[Bon_Scottie]

Agreed... but still what live stuff was on Family Jewels, was awesome.

Especially Fling Thing/Rocker / Riff Raff / For those about to Rock.

[Ulysses]

Yeah Riff Raff is class, especially on "If You Want Blood.." and Family Jewels, such a powerful, driving song. I would've liked Live Wire to have been on the Family Jewels DVD because I downloaded a version of it live but it being on a DVD would obviously improve the quality greatly.

[Mizuzack]

I used to love AC/DC. A long time ago, actually a long long time ago, I used to like hip hop and rap. AC/DC was the band I listened to as I made the transition from rap to rock. Then from AC/DC I moved to Metallica which gave me the transition from rock to metal. Now I listen to all kinds of music.

But now, I really hate AC/DC. The solos are way to traditional. The bass is simplistic, the singer is terrible and most songs sound the same. They are a really great introduction band, but they get tiring after a while.

[Ulysses]

Thats quite a cynical way to look at a band you once admired. You listen to all kinds of music, like what?

[Mizuzack]

Thats quite a cynical way to look at a band you once admired. You listen to all kinds of music, like what?

Look in my profile under interests. I don't mean all kinds as in everything from blues to classical to jazz to metal.

Basically stuff from soft rock to progressive metal.
