I think that they are a bit overrated but not that much. For throughout their career they've put out good music (not saying that they're horrible now) and although a lot is power chords its not completely and does show that they do have talent unlike some of the bands today :lol:. Also I think it was remarkable thatr after Bon Scott died, they were able to come out with Brian Johnson but personally I liked Bon Scott's vocals better. But they are a talented band...except on the lyrics department but thats not what their music is about. Its about having a good time, and the best AC/DC song is Whole lotta Rosie.

I don't know if its been said already but AC/DC own power chords in a way that NOBODY else can touch. Any guitarist wanting to use power chords must get Malcom's approval in writing before it can be done. It the LAW!!!

Angus is Amazing live. he never stops moving and pulls some great solos out of his hat.
They put on a hell of a show and they are still rocking to this day. but alot of their songs are repetitive but still catchy.
Hear something new to talk about. Who do u think was better at singing and songwriting. bon scott or brian johnson?

AC/DC is a frickin' good kick *** band. Period. Angus's solos may be easy if you are sitting in a chair, but I don't know anyone who can even play the rhythm while jumping, running, writhing on the floor, etc. They have proved to be one of the most durable rock bands ever. As for repetetiveness, I would rather them than, say Aerosmith, who have good albums followed by crappy ones. They have a unique sound, a no nonsense, simple image, and a hard rocking stage show. For those who have rocked for 30 plus years, I salute you.......

A duck doesn't bend at the knees really... it waddles. So that's what Angus does, but in a dancy sort of way. Chuck Berry (sp?) invented it, I know that.
rippa32
01-01-2005, 04:59 AM
Chuck Berry didn't invent it, chuck berry is most of angus's inspiration but he didnt invent the duck walk. I heard that angus made it up after he tripped on the cable connecting his guitar to the amp and he kinda made it up on the spot. Not sure how accurate that is but thats wat ive heard.

Ac/Dc are great and yes they may not be the best band in the world musically, they have a truly unique sound. Any rock fan can recognise an Ac/Dc song, even if they haven't heard it before, and that is partly what makes them great. As for the vocalists, well what can I say? Brilliant. Bon Scott's voice was outstanding and Brain Johnson's is pretty good too, perhaps not quite as a full as Bon's.

AC/DC is my favorite band because they play simple catchy music. I also like the fact they don't like metal or punk rock music but that's besides the point. I like the simple music and dirty lyrics i.e. Hard As A Rock and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (my 2 favorites).

I dedicated my screen name to malcolm because he is more dedicated/ talented than angus. Angus admits that Malcolm is a better guitar player. He writes most off the riffs and solos and Angus just plays them.

Both of them are equally crappy singers...but both are EXCELLENT frontmen. They're true showmen with distinctive styles.
AC/DC is one of the most unique bands of all time. I prefer their brand heavy metal to this crap we have today. It's all three chord marches, which is absolutely fine by me...because Angus Young's solos more than fill in any gaps the simplistic riffs leave. It's great having bands like them around that realize that you don't need to cut down to the bare minimum (punk) but you also don't need to go over the top (hair metal). They provide a nice medium.

To all those Thunderstruck-Blabbing-Idiots (no offense): in the studio version of Thunderstruck, he picks every single note of the intro. In his early days, he used one hand live. And now in his present days, he picks every note once again. Watch Stiff Upper Lip Live and this will prove it. Also, I read an article with Angus saying he picks every note in the Thunderstruck studio version.

Together Malcolm and Angus created good solid rock n roll riffs, famous simple riffs played at eardrum blowing volume. They are simple but great and stick in your head allowing you to really get into the music. Great anthems such as Whole Lotta Rosie, Thunderstruck, Riff Raff, Jailbreak, Let There Be Rock and the list goes on have been created by these two brothers, it really is great stuff, without AC/DC I don't know where I'd find the raw rock n roll i get my kicks from.

AC/DC is my favorite band, and my favorite album being LET THERE BE ROCK!
People say Angus has little talent, but those people have never seen Angus play live...his 8-minute long solos in the middle of such songs as Jailbreak, Let there be rock, etc. Take for example Kirk Hammet....a guitarist which many of my friends think is far, FAR superior to Angus Young. I saw Kirk hammet play live, right in front of my eyes on Oct 27th 2004. He was playing like 10 feet away from me. Yeah, yeah he had is wah wah and stuff up there and I was not very impressed with his solo(s). It was absolutely nothing in comparison to Angus Young's live solos. (Not that im saying Kirk Hammet is a bad guitarist or anything, Metallica is one of my favorite bands) i'm just saying that Angus Young clearly deals out some very skillful playing when he plays those solos, with no backup guitarists, wah wah pedals, distortion pedals, wammy bars, or any type of device...it's just him..and his SG...

Angus isn't necessarily known for his guitar talent. The thing that makes him a legend is his stage presence. Who else thought up the duck walking, crazy-ness of his performances? That's why AC/DC is known, not that the music is bad, but because of his stage antics.
Actually Angus got the duck-walk from Chuck Berry. AC/DC has a lot of influences much like a lot of other bands. The band is very proud of being repetitive, as would I. Not many bands can stick around for 30 years and NEVER change their sound. They also went through losing one of the best singers ever back in '80. And never lost a beat on getting cd's out. AC/DC may not be as talented as other bands, but their is just something about them that keeps them together and staying on the stage.

It is all opinion where you think guitarists should be ranked. I personally think Angus is better than half the guitarists listed above. And I have to be honest that I have not heard a couple of them. EVH he is right up there with Angus but EVH does a lot with distortion and the whammy bar. Page is better. Clapton and SRV I have the same problem as I do with EVH (not so much SRV). The rest I know are good but personally I don't like them too much. But Hendrix. Way too heavy on the distortion and whammy. I like Hendrix and he is good but the sound just blends and melts together.

Since when does running a mostly clean channel directly through a marshall and "not using a whammy or distortion" have any relevance to skill at guitar?
As I mentioned, Angus does use SG's with vibratos (not on all songs).

One string hammer-ons at the beginning, and a moderate solo.

Yeah...gg. Not to mention Jimi sings at the same time, and was a much more well rounded musician. Angus is limited to one-dimensional, predictable solos, and is lucky that Malcolm knows how to write and hold things together.

Everytime I come into this thread the discussion is about Thunderstruck's intro. To clear it all up. Yes, it is easy as hell to play. Yes, Angus picked every note of it on the studio version. And yes, he did sometimes live/you can play it with one hand if you so choose.

All of their songs sound exactly the same to me.
As a HUGE AC/DC fan, i can admit all there songs sound simple and the same but that doesn't mean they are garbage. They are still a great band and yes Angus Young is not that much of a great guitarist, he is decent but hes no steve vai. Well he didn't exactly have much time to learn, i mean he joined the band when he was only 14. Malcom started AC/DC when Angus was only 14 years old. The boy was in the recording studio at the age of about 15 or 16. And once you think about it most bands songs sound very similar, of course they do make songs which sound different, maybe and acoustic songs ect. but think about al the new screamo bands and all that ****, There songs sound exactly the same the only difference between them and AC/DC is that there riffs are badly played downtoned powerchords and maybe a good attempt and shredding and we can't miss out the fingertapping(which usually doesnt even fit into the song lol). If Ac/Dc sounds the same and people get sick of their sound then howcome they are still a sucessful band? I mean not many bands can do what Ac/Dc have done. They've been rockin since the 70's and are still touring in 2005!
And highway to hell is very simple to play on guitar(like most AC/DC songs but hey it sounds good)
Just play these chords in order for the intro/main riff: A (x3) , D/f#(x2) G(x1) , D/f#(x2) G(x1) , D/f#(x2) G(x1) , D/F#(x1) , A(x2)

whole lotta rosie-dirty eyes was a much better version of this song every1 says the song is amazing and ok fair enough its good i can listen to it but i dont htink its their best song ever.
thunderstruck-wasnt much effort in it angus came up with the intro while doodling with his guitar and recorded it personally i dont like the song much becos well it doesnt really sound like AC/DC to me
riff raff-2nd best song off powerage
jailbreak-just an amazing song
let there be rock-good first time round 2nd time round its alrgith 3rd time just irritates me i listen to the album but i mostly skip that song cos they have far better songs than that example rocker

actually angus didnt join when he was 14 nor was he in a studio at 15 or 16 dunno if u no this but they lied bout his age an stuff t make the uniform like fit in with his age an stuff was actually more about 18 in the studio cos Bon was around 10 years older than malcolm when he joined and Angus is only a few years younger than malcolm

All the songs are similar in some ways and I don't think AC/DC ever wrote one song that was a soft, slow and innocent melody like stairway to heaven starts out, but I think they are great and I'm gonna keep listening to them until I get tired of them.
Angus kicks the crap out of Van Halen songwriting-wise, His solos actually sound good.

It was Dave Evans. Phil Rudd left cause he got into a fight with Malcolm. Simon Wright left cause of musical differences and Chris Slade was kicked out after the band had a jam session with Phil and decided to bring him back. And I have explained countless times where they got there name from.

Simon Wright had liking of Dio and when long time friend Ronnie James Dio asked him if he could assist them in the studio he accepted which led him to leave AC/DC in favour of Dio.

best move they ever made :smash: the bon years were my favorites ... too bad he died before i was born

Bon Scott was one of a kind indeed. People often compare Brian Johnsons voice and his, and say they can't tell them apart and to me that is insanity. Don't get me wrong, as far as replacement singers go, Brian was ace...but there never was and never will be a voice like Bons. The pure embodiment of lust and rock and roll if ever there was one. Rock n Roll personified.
/ sidenote: I read that Ozzy wrote suicide solution in honour of Bon...is this true?

Bon > Brian . It's quite simple really and i agree with you entirely. Problem child is probably my favorite song, and to me it seems like brian is trying to emulate bon, which is probably why he has his own unique sound as well.
I wish bon never died :upset:

My favourite song is Livewire, it just gives me a feeling like I cannot explain...but hey, the truly best of all feelings are inexplicable. Bon is bad, and when he said it, you believed it. I'm with you Matt... there was plenty of music left in that one.

wrong and i cant be arsed waiting on answers nwo so im jsut gonna explain them
powerage-the figured weve had stone age ice age an all the other ages so they thoght well whats this we r in at the minute they figured powerage and named it that
if you want blood-well ok the album is named after a line some guy said on stage whcih was "if you want blood then here have it" or somethign along them lines so they named the album after that (they guy didnt use the actual line if you want blood youve got it)
Knowing ac/dc, that line would be inolved in some sort of a bar fight :chug:

Why is it called a movie when it is clearly only an album. ( I don't have this album.)
Ulysses

"Let There Be Rock" should be renowned for being a great album and probably my most favourite besides "If You Want Blood". The part concert, part documentary film contains songs such as Live Wire and Highway to Hell that arn't even on "Led There Be Rock". I am yet to see this movie, I'll have to purchase it off the net sometime.

i wouldnt want to get a signature model, as much as i love angus and AC/DC, signature models just dont interest me. You also end up forking out extra cash just because its called the Angus Young model.

If I'm not mistaken (I'm going off the top of my head here as I don't feel like checking the gibby site), the only difference between the Angus Young model and normal SG other than cosmetics (headstock, engraving on the trapeze, possibly fretboard markings) are the optional vibrola, and the pickups.
If the cost difference is that substantial for pickups and/or cosmetics, it's just not worth it.

correct my friend...to be honest i prefer the look of the other SG's anyway. But the Angus model is definetely a collectors item.

Your'e one of a kind buying two copies. AC/DC are my favourite band but there is no way i would buy two of the same album. If you were that careful with the originals why don't you just burn em and only listen to the copy?
AB/CD
01-15-2005, 05:21 PM
i dont have 2 copys of every album unless u count the records
i have every album on cd if 1 gets badly damaged and starts jumping ill buy a new 1 ya no and im very careful with originals
