[ANGUS YOUNG13]

hey did anyone know they made a movie named Thunderstruck based on AC/DC

[angusrules]

hey ive heard of that what is it about? all i know it is based on ac/dc

[Bucky]

hey did anyone know they made a movie named Thunderstruck based on AC/DC

Yep. So far only released in Australia. Apperently, DC isn't even on the soundtrack. Only a cover of It's A Long Way To The Top.

www.thunderstruckthemovie.com

Visit that for some more information.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

Just heard that AC/DC announced they will go on a world tour. Im saving my money so when they come to LA.

[rippa32]

When are they starting it and when is the album coming out?

[Ulysses]

When they release this much rumoured new album "Strap It On" is supposedly going to be the name, February this year it is said. Only a rumour though, not positive.

[floyd.the.barber]

does anyone have who made who :wave:

[AB/CD]

who made who is allright but its just a soundtrack its all brian johnson songs and 2 instrumentals.

and that film thunderstruck is about i think its 3 friends who swear that the first 1 of them to do is getting buried beside Bon Scott

[AB/CD]

also for whoever it was who said AC/DC r Australian in my opinion your wrong i consider them scottish mainly cos Angu and Malcolm and Bon were all born in Scotland and later moved to Australia just my opinion on it

[Six Foot Revolver]

They're still Australian though

[AB/CD]

yeah becos they lived there for a few years doesnt mean they r actually Australian in my opnion wherever u r born that what nationality or whatever the hell it is that u r

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

yeh i think they are from irland or somtin but still they grew up in australia so i guess they are australlian

[AngusYoung413]

Both the Youngs And Bon were born in Scotland but grew up near Melbourne, Ausatralia.

[Brewer14]

When they release this much rumoured new album "Strap It On" is supposedly going to be the name, February this year it is said. Only a rumour though, not positive.

Its gonna be out in February? Whoa, I thought it was gonna be later this year. But I think the "Strap it On" rumor is just that, a rumor, from what Ive heard anyway.

[rippa32]

also for whoever it was who said AC/DC r Australian in my opinion your wrong i consider them scottish mainly cos Angu and Malcolm and Bon were all born in Scotland and later moved to Australia just my opinion on it

Angus and Malcolm are scottish. But the band itself is Australian.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

yes wat rippa said

[Five Magics]

anyone think that "Blow Up Your Video" is an underrated album? I think it has some solid cuts in there like Heatseeker, Kissin dynamite, That's the way i wanna rock'n'roll

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

totally same with powerage

[rippa32]

Hey I was just thinking that it would be Angus's 50th birthday this year. Anyone know what the actual date is?

[ArcLite]

March 31 is the day you seek sir.

[rippa32]

I thought it was something around there. Maybe that is the date they will release the album.

[ArcLite]

Sure would be nice if it was. I'll kill to see their next, and possibly last, concert.

[rippa32]

Yes very possible to be the last.

[AB/CD]

if the album does good wont be their last they even say on stiff upper lip live tat they arent gonna stop until they feel they arent cutting hte mustard i dunno i cant remember the exact line was something like that

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

they are going on one last world tour this year or so i heard

[rippa32]

Yeah it might be the last. I still think it depends on how well the album sells.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

well now with all the bear share stuff and free music no albums sell well anymore

[rippa32]

Yes thats very true. But still I cant wait to see accadacca live this year.

[AB/CD]

well people who download the songs arent very loyal fans if u ask me

[Jim Spoon]

shut up it's not like AC/DC is that talented of a band

[rippa32]

well people who download the songs arent very loyal fans if u ask me

Yes very true. But I might have to download Big Guns because it isnt sold anymore.

[angusrules]

all of the ac/dc fans out there, what is your favorite album by ac/dc? myne is flick of the switch or the bon fire cd set i would reccomend that if you find it

[rippa32]

So you have the bonfire set? Could you tell me if the Let There Be Rock movie that comes with it is a CD, DVD or VHS?

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

shut up it's not like AC/DC is that talented of a band

hey a$$hole Fu<k OFF ur an effin queer to say that im not even going to waste my time with scum like you.

[ArcLite]

hey a$$hole Fu<k OFF ur an effin queer to say that im not even going to waste my time with scum like you.

Calm down dipshit. I love AC/DC more than most as well, but take it easy. I'm not sure what brought about his statement but it is pretty much true. No matter how much your fan-boy *** loves them, on a relative level, they are not super talented. They're much more on the catchy side than talented. Many guitarists could make Angus look like C.C. Deville next to them. Moving on, am I the only one here who's a fan of Chris Slade as drummer? Not entirely sure why, but he was always my favorite, especially live.

[rippa32]

^ Yeah hes my favourite as well. Its unfortunate Phil came back and replaced him. Ive never really like Phill, dunno why.

[gtarriff]

IMO Slade was the best drummer they ever had

[HybridOrigin7]

The problem I have with most of the posts here about Angus, calling him overrated, is the fact that they're basing his talent by what they heard on the radio or a cd. Angus is incredible, most people dont fully understand his talent until they see him live and improvise soloes and riffs.

[Cky Andrioid]

AC/DC is a very good band. I Perfer Bon Scott over Brian Johnson.

[This User Name is taken.]

AC/DC are amazing, IMO.

Thier riffs may be easy and all, but they're catchy and do make some d'amned good music.
I can't think of a band that's a lot like AC/DC.

Heh, I named my cat Angus.

[AB/CD]

Yes very true. But I might have to download Big Guns because it isnt sold anymore.

i might be getting the big gun single soon reord shop near me has all sort of AC/DC stuff got heatseeker a while ago and the song snake eyes was amazing.

some1 asked about let there be rock in bonfire well its jsut 2 live cds its not DVDs ust cds good tho extra songs from the tour on it but live at the atlantic studios is better

[shawnson]

slade was the best drummer to me.
angus young is the king of three-chord progression. only he can take 3 chords and turn it into the awesome riff that is highway to hell.

[AB/CD]

but highway to hell sucks

and y do u all love chris sade he only done 1 stuido album and a live album and at that the razors edge only had like 3 good songs on it

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

yeh phill rudd was the true acdc guitarist personally i like brian johnson better hes alot cooler and his voice is raspier

[Five Magics]

Calm down dipshit. I love AC/DC more than most as well, but take it easy. I'm not sure what brought about his statement but it is pretty much true.

simon wright was their best, listen to Blow Up Your Video espesially Kissin Dynamite

[The Four Key]

AC/DC sound good.
That's all that matters in music.

Wrong, you worthless no musical-sense kook!!!!!!

[The Four Key]

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

You are uterley true and although it hurts millions of kook kids around the world- AC/DC wasn't all that talented. So stop trying to be popular by following the crowd and throw down you Back In Black shirts you bought at Target and Wal-Mart.

[Joe]

AC/DC are amazing, IMO.

Thier riffs may be easy and all, but they're catchy and do make some d'amned good music.
I can't think of a band that's a lot like AC/DC.

Heh, I named my cat Angus.

well, i can only think of a band that sweats AC/DC, Jet.
They do have really catchy riffs, and none of them are really that complicated.

they named beef Angus...

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

gocaps99 totally jet sounds in some songs like acdc and i also hate all those acdc wanna bees who the only acdc album they like is back and black and buy they re acdc shirts at target. (nothing wrong with shoping at target though)

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

the four key you couldent be more wrong

[rippa32]

but highway to hell sucks

and y do u all love chris sade he only done 1 stuido album and a live album and at that the razors edge only had like 3 good songs on it

Highway to Hell doesn't suck, it's just overplayed and sadly overrated. And just because Chris only did one studio album doesn't mean he is a bad drummer.

[ArcLite]

Highway can't compete with Shook Me All Night Long for overplayedness. I actually despise the song now cause I'm so sick of hearing it.

[rippa32]

The main reason I am starting to hate Shook Me is because I have started to learn it on guitar and because I am a beginner I make it sound crap.

[AB/CD]

well i hate chris slade mainly cos he ddnt do too much for hte band i think phil rudd is better than him

highwayto hell does suck its teir worst album with Bon

[shadow_stalker]

Highway can't compete with Shook Me All Night Long for overplayedness. I actually despise the song now cause I'm so sick of hearing it.


there is a bunch of 10th year kids in my school every thursday at 4th lesson they go into a practice room, play 'you shook me all night long' for an hour and they have been doing that since september 1st and the bastards still cant play it!!!

[punkster998]

hey a$$hole Fu<k OFF ur an effin queer to say that im not even going to waste my time with scum like you.



. . .



Good lord, this place is full of idiots. :rolleyes:

[RNR]

I've always said that Angus was underrated due to that fact that non fans have only heard pre highway to hell angus. He stopped playing fast and complex solos when brian johnson came.

[AB/CD]

if u ask me solos mean nothing angus is a pretty good song writer and a good guitarist but sure he cant be that good if amlcolm can match him on "can i sit next to you girl" that song had a pretty good solo in it and Malcolm played it and i think its 1 of their best solos

[Chickenmonkey]

My friend at school has 9 AC/DC shirts haha. I think their alright I just don't like angus' voice that much.

[rippa32]

^ You idiot. Angus is the Lead Guitarist not the singer.

[rippa32]

there is a bunch of 10th year kids in my school every thursday at 4th lesson they go into a practice room, play 'you shook me all night long' for an hour and they have been doing that since september 1st and the bastards still cant play it!!!

I know what you mean there used to be a bunch of kids at my school who would play Smells Like Teen Spirit for about an hour every lunch time. And they played so bad I now hate that song.

[RNR]

My friend at school has 9 AC/DC shirts haha. I think their alright I just don't like angus' voice that much.

Brain Johnson is the current singer. Bon Scott was the singer, Pre Back In Black. I don't like brain's voice much either (i'm assuming you've only heard post highway to hell ac/dc).

[RNR]

there is a bunch of 10th year kids in my school every thursday at 4th lesson they go into a practice room, play 'you shook me all night long' for an hour and they have been doing that since september 1st and the bastards still cant play it!!!
That's Hilarious. I'm almost done learning the whole thing and it's only been 2 days.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

yes brian johnson is the second singer for the band and in my opinion thier best his voice blends together with the music much better than bon scott i think. Highway to hell is over played but not overated its a classic and a very good song.

Good lord, this place is full of idiots. no your the idiot please get out of this thread

[Ulysses]

Five months to learn 'You Shook Me All Night Long', that's comical. Pretty simple stuff, really and honestly..I suppose it depends on your playing level.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

i guess but it sounds good doesnt it ulysses

[RNR]

Of course it sounds good. It's just very sad when people can't learn it in 5 months. My god, it's pretty much their easiest.

[rippa32]

Yes it easy very easy. But I make it sound crap. I have a severe problem with timing.

[JACKROXYOU]

it took me like 3 hours, 4 hours?

[gtarriff]

Yes it easy very easy. But I make it sound crap. I have a severe problem with timing.

Shook me all night long is easy (not as easy as everyone says it is I think highway to hell is easier) but I think ur problem is you are trying too hard. Just play the song and if the beat never comes to u I guess give up (just kidding)

(I learned the song in like 30 mins not counting the solo)

[rippa32]

^ Ok thanks Ill try that.

[rippa32]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Mark Evans is a better Bass player than Cliff Williams?

[AB/CD]

i think george young is better than both of them

[baggagebassman]

Everyone's yammering about Angus Young, but what about Malcolm Young? His right hand is the one behind most of those killer riffs.

Exactly. He's one of the most underrated rhythm guitarists ever.

[AB/CD]

well malcolm was gonna do lead guitar but he said to angus "lead interveres with my drinking you do it"

[JACKROXYOU]

Exactly. He's one of the most underrated rhythm guitarists ever.

yea him the drummer and bass stand in the back and brian and angus are in the front gettin it all

but the others are cryin all the way to the bank

[Johnny B. Good]

Brian & Angus are the only things somewhat decent about the band

[Red White & Black]

Brian & Angus are the only things somewhat decent about the band

:confused: Last time I checked the whole band was nothing short of awesome. Need proof check out an album called Back in Black its something like 20x platinum.

[JACKROXYOU]

test

what the hell?

[angus_young_]

anybody know how tall angus is? i knows hes a little guy but i heard hes like 5'2" which seems tiny. his guitar doesnt look that big on him.

[sanitarium31]

yea him the drummer and bass stand in the back and brian and angus are in the front gettin it all

but the others are cryin all the way to the bank




If its that way then the band should be called Brian and Angus not AC/DC

[rippa32]

i think george young is better than both of them

Yeah but George wasn't a proper member of the band. Just played Bass on the High Voltage album.

[AB/CD]

he may aswell have been a proper member he played the bass on the whole of high voltage and he produced every album up to highway to hell then he done i think it was who made who then he done stiff upper lip

[rippa32]

Just because you produce albums doesnt mean youre a member of the band. And anyway AC/DC's music is bit difference to the Easybeats.( Im assuming, i havnt listened to their stuff but I heard it was Pop music)

[AB/CD]

i think it was more blues and anyway george helped out on most albums he helped write some songs

[houses_of_holy]

Wouldn't it be kool if AC/DC headlined Download 2005

[RNR]

That would be awesome.

[AB/CD]

well would it wouldnt be that big a deal

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

Last time I checked the whole band was nothing short of awesome. Need proof check out an album called Back in Black its something like 20x platinum.

shut johnny b. good up ahhahahhaa :lol:

[Red White & Black]

Fellow AC/DC brother- pick up your balls and load up your cannon for a twenty one gun salute- I salute you! :thumb:

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

its about time somone shut johnny b. good up i salute you fellow AC/DC brother

[Silenius]

Brian & Angus are the only things somewhat decent about the band
:lol::lol::lol:

Brian Johnson sucks my left nut compared to Bon Scott.

[Johnny B. Good]

:confused: Last time I checked the whole band was nothing short of awesome. Need proof check out an album called Back in Black its something like 20x platinum.
That doesnt necessarily mean anything, last time I checked Michael Jackson's thriller is well over 20x Platinum and it didn't take him twenty years to get that far, unlike Back in Black

[Bucky]

It's not that it took them 20 years to get that far or not. They've been producing the same sound for 20 years before that. It just happened to be "the" album.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

it didnt take 20yrs moron thats how long they've been together the reason is b/c bon scotts death and the new singer brian johnson. plus it took micheal jackson all his life to that point to get that he was a singer since he was a little kid in the jackson 5 so your wrong AGAIN

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

BRIAN IS BETTER THAN SCOTT
(but is still respect scott)

[Johnny B. Good]

it didnt take 20yrs moron thats how long they've been together the reason is b/c bon scotts death and the new singer brian johnson. plus it took micheal jackson all his life to that point to get that he was a singer since he was a little kid in the jackson 5 so your wrong AGAIN
No it took twenty years for the Back in Black to go platinum, it was official July 7, 2004 motherFu(ker. Thriller immediatly went way over 20x platinum as soon as it came out you dumb@ss

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

is thriller rock?
yeh stfu

[Johnny B. Good]

is thriller rock?
yeh stfu
No I was making a point that simple pop did better than your beloved AC/DC

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

pop is what most of america likes no sh!t now how is it better? are u saying u like pop?

im not judging but thats pretty sad.

in my opinion pop sux compared to any rock and in rock standards 20x platinum is a HUGE achivement not many bands do that.

[Johnny B. Good]

Led Zep did

[Red White & Black]

That doesnt necessarily mean anything, last time I checked Michael Jackson's thriller is well over 20x Platinum and it didn't take him twenty years to get that far, unlike Back in Black
If you are into frikken Michael Jackson then get off the ROK AND METAL forum. Seriously get out of here this AC/DC's thread and either your in or your out and you will never be in. Come on Angus13 lets get him out of here :evil: !!!

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

no one doubts that they rock harder than acdc any day. But name more than 20 pop does better in ratings than most rock bands

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

^^^^^^^^^ agreed

GET OUT

[Red White & Black]

Led Zep isn't pop

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

yeh lol you tell em red white and black

[Red White & Black]

I don't got a problem with Zeppelin but talk on the Official Zep thread and not the AC/DC one... now get out you are pissin me offf!!!

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

YES lets get back on the acdc thread

SO DID ANYBODY HEAR ABOUT ACDC THE NEW WORLD TOUR

[Red White & Black]

Not you Angus YOung13 that other rock poser ***.

[Red White & Black]

I heard that they were comin out with a new album/tour in 05 but thats it

[Red White & Black]

And it would be beautiful to watch the boys from down under climb up the MTV charts and show everyone that Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution!

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

Yeh so did i but i dont know when its gonna come out. But i recently heard about the world tour in 05 man its gonna be awsome im gonna start saving my money now

[Red White & Black]

I just hope they come out with new material cus as much as i like Motley Crue and Van Halen their new albums are little more than a gretest hits collection.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

yeh, very true i hope its not just like a greatest hits

[Red White & Black]

But Stiff Upper Lip wasn't made in their golden years and they came out and showed everyone that there is more to rock than just a lotta this new crap.

[Red White & Black]

Now don't get me wrong not all the new stuff is all that bad, but it doesn't have the same power as the classics and early metal.

[RNR]

Yeah. I really haven't seen any newer rock bands that can rock the stadium as well as ac/dc. The Darkness is the next closest but ac/dc still beats their asses into the ground musically.

[Silenius]

Anyone seen Live at Donnington? Pretty good stuff.

[Red White & Black]

Yeah. I really haven't seen any newer rock bands that can rock the stadium as well as ac/dc. The Darkness is the next closest but ac/dc still beats their asses into the ground musically.
Agreed

[Red White & Black]

Yeah. When Angus plays with his tongue on High Voltage I realized that he deserves all the attention that he gets.

[ArcLite]

Anyone seen Live at Donnington? Pretty good stuff.

Yeah I have it. I have to watch it every few weeks usually but the one speaker on TV broke so I can barely hear angus' playing. But yeah, would have been a kick *** show to be at. I guess any AC/DC would be for that matter.

[rippa32]

BRIAN IS BETTER THAN SCOTT
(but is still respect scott)

I don't beleive you call yourself a fan.

[Ulysses]

Yeah. I really haven't seen any newer rock bands that can rock the stadium as well as ac/dc. The Darkness is the next closest but ac/dc still beats their asses into the ground musically.

True, with timing, solo's and so forth. Just the way they gel together as a band when they perform.


BRIAN IS BETTER THAN SCOTT
(but is still respect scott)

Thats the first time I have ever heard Brian Johnson being mentioned as a better lead singer than Bon Scott, everyone's entitled to their own opinions I suppose.

[AB/CD]

i think no bull is better than live at donnington much more interesting show to watch

[Dottore]

Stiff upper Lip: Live @ Munich is awesome, too. Has anybody seen it ? I was at that tour in Hockenheim a few days before that concert in Munich and in Hockenheim they rocked as good as in Munich.

btw: is there now a release date for "strap it on"? I can't wait for the album and the tour.....

[ArcLite]

I havn't heard an official release date yet but I recall hearing March from something. But yeah, I'll do anything to see them when they tour. May be the last chance.

[rippa32]

I don't beleive you call yourself a fan.

Nah Im not serious. His work is quite good but I personally think he shouldnt sing too many bon songs. He ruined High Voltage, Jailbreak and Let there be Rock.

[stereofreak]

All of their songs sound exactly the same to me.
They only sounf the same if you dont give it a chance. Angus young was a guitar genius and had twice the talent of modern day metal.

[stereofreak]

I havn't heard an official release date yet but I recall hearing March from something. But yeah, I'll do anything to see them when they tour. May be the last chance.
ive got tickets oh yeah!

Yeah I've got that DVD it's great, Hard As A Rock with the images on the screen, thats class. Strap It On, I've heard rumours about a release in either February or March.

[Red White & Black]

Strap it On, is that the new album?

[Dottore]

Strap it On, is that the new album?


Yes.

[Guitarguy99]

yea i very much agree, i think that its just been built up so much, people just assume its that great even if they havent listened to way to much....like the posers at my school for example. Personally i do like them, but i dont feel that their as amazing as people say, sounds good, that does matter, who cares if they arent the most talented people ya know. But i do agree overall.

[rippa32]

ive got tickets oh yeah!

Whered did you get tickets? Or were you just being stupid?

[Gone Shootin']

ITS NOT BEING CALLED STRAP IT ON! that is just a romur. here is the offical AC/DC message board http://forums1.sonymusic.com/eve/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=8581093&f=286101211&m=6191015591
trust me its not called strap it on. and there is no dates for the tour yet.

[Faith No Doubt]

AC/DC are one of the best rock bands ever, FACT.

They have some really great albums like "High Voltage", "Highway To Hell", "Back In Black" and "The Razor's Edge" and they have some **** albums too like "Powerage", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "For Those About To Rock, We Salute You" and "Ballbreaker".

They admit they are samey.

"The critics don't like us, as Angus said, we put out the same album every year with a different cover! But the kids like it"

- Malcom Young.

Angus Young is a very good guitarist, maybe second tier to Hendrix, Van Halen and Satriani, but there's no denying his talent in rock riffing.

I like them a lot.

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

yeh theyre bass player (cliff williams) is good but could be better

[rippa32]

^ yeah like I was saying before Mark Evans is better. Does anyone know why he left?

[ArcLite]

^ yeah like I was saying before Mark Evans is better. Does anyone know why he left?

I've read that he left because him and Angus had "issues" with each other. More than that I do not know.

[AB/CD]

and they have some **** albums too like "Powerage", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "For Those About To Rock, We Salute You" and "Ballbreaker".

u did not jus call their best albulms crap there did u?

[rippa32]

Agreed there best albums. Although For those about to Rock wasnt as good as some of their other albums, I still like it.

[AB/CD]

for those about to rock is amazing its just different i havnt listened to it in ages like but it is amazing especially night of the long knives

[NationUnknown42]

to all you people who have been knockin' AC/DC dude, come on, they are great theyhave great talent all of them together, and who cares if they dont get a lot of individual appreciation, they are still AC/DC and one of THE greatest bands of time in general! cliffburtonrules had a magnificent point, they really do put on one hell of a show so shut up you pussies out there who complain and say they are bad, because to you i **** in your grandma's cunt, but to all of those who support AC/DC and all of the other great bands...I SALUTE YOU!

[NationUnknown42]

[RNR]

That guy's retarded. It's as in ac/dc charge (what ab/cd said). Because AC/DC is "High Voltage Rock".

I got Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap today :)

[AB/CD]

allright album best song off it is ride on slow as hell but well actually i take that back its good if your on a long car journy and not driving best song off that album is rocker specially hwen it is done live

[RNR]

I'd say that Big Balls is. Just for the lyrics and the way Bon sings it.

[AB/CD]

nah song gets irritating after a while

[RNR]

You can have your opinion and i'll have mine. kthx?

[AB/CD]

didnt say u couldnt just saying that u shouldnt continually listen to the song like i did or it will honestly become irritating

[rippa32]

AB/CD. You are not Australian right? High Volltage to you is actually Australian TNT with two songs from the REAL high voltage album(shes got balls, little lover) and two songs from TNT arnt on there (can't remember this cause I bought International High Voltage before I knew all this). I also noticed how you mentioned Rocker on the Dirty Deeds album. Again only on international release. That song is on Aussie High Voltage.

[AB/CD]

[rippa32]

[ArcLite]

Ok. So is it possible to get the Aussie releases on CD in america? Im just curious.

Yes you can. Try Amazon, they have most of the imports. They're a bit pricey though.

[rippa32]

Actually I live in Australia. I was just curious.

[angus_young1990]

[VHRocks]

I am an AC/DC fanatic but I dont like it that there is like at least 3 songs that have the same rhythm as Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. I think that they have the talent and commitment that they could come up with some new rhythm. Still, a freakin awesome band!

Rock On, Horns Up! :evil:

[The Four Key]

Maybe they'll all of a cliff and die.

And all their records and crap then exploded and no one could ever listen to them again.

[rippa32]

Are you joking? If not then piss off.

[floyd.the.barber]

are ball breaker and stiff upper lip good

[ArcLite]

I enjoy Stiff Upper Lip more than Ball Breaker. Both are decent, certainly far from their best, but good.

[VHRocks]

Maybe they'll all of a cliff and die.

And all their records and crap then exploded and no one could ever listen to them again.
you are gay

[VHRocks]

are ball breaker and stiff upper lip good
Freakin Great!

[rippa32]

you are gay

I agree. I hate it when people say that they hate a band and then dont give a reason.

[Marty]

Ballbreaker burns SUL imo, classic tracks like hard as a rock, boogieman, furor, whiskey on the rocks, actually there all good!

[rippa32]

Would youre comment under youre username have anythin to do with ballbreaker?

[willis2441]

Maybe they'll all of a cliff and die.

And all their records and crap then exploded and no one could ever listen to them again.
**** you

stfu your gay

[rippa32]

Is gay the only pay out people know?

[AB/CD]

would appear so even when at megadeth the other ngiht 2 guys were going

"your ****ing gay" "no your ****ing gay" "u kid isnt he ****ing gay" me"aye sure whatever"

[rippa32]

I am so sick of it along with saying lame all the time.

[ArcLite]

Anyone here a fan of the Powerage album? Its a great collection of tunes such as Gimme a Bullet, Riff Raff, and Sin City that rarely gets mentioned and is never heard on the radio.

[VHRocks]

I agree. I hate it when people say that they hate a band and then dont give a reason.
and of all the bands, the mighty AC/DC! That bastard!

[VHRocks]

Maybe they'll all of a cliff and die.

You have no friends here! sh-t-for-brains!

i like that album but i like all there albums iv heard

[AB/CD]

albums porbably the best they ever released

[ArcLite]

albums porbably the best they ever released

Its definitely in the top three for me. Despite that most AC/DC albums are, I find it to be a great driving album. Gotta say Gimme a Bullet is my favorite Powerage song, but there isn't a bad song on the whole album.

[rippa32]

What does everyone think of Let me put my love into you. Everyone talks about the back in black album but no-one talks about that song.

[Six Foot Revolver]

What does everyone think of Let me put my love into you. Everyone talks about the back in black album but no-one talks about that song.
One of my favourite songs off the album

[ArcLite]

What does everyone think of Let me put my love into you. Everyone talks about the back in black album but no-one talks about that song.

It's a very good song, funny lyrics too..."Let me cut your cake with my knife." I like pretty much all of the lesser known songs from the album, ie Givin the Dog a Bone, What do you do for Money Honey, Have a Drink on Me, etc.

[Six Foot Revolver]

All the songs are brilliant. Such a great album

[Ulysses]

It's a very good song, funny lyrics too..."Let me cut your cake with my knife." I like pretty much all of the lesser known songs from the album, ie Givin the Dog a Bone, What do you do for Money Honey, Have a Drink on Me, etc.

Yeah, the typical larrikin, low key, funnyman, politically incorrect lyrics, simple great you gotta love em for that.

[rippa32]

Actually my favourite from that album is Shake a Leg (well next to hells bells it is)

[ArcLite]

Yeah that's a good song too. So is Rock and Roll ain't Noise Pollution, love that song. Hell, they're all good. What an album.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I've got for those about to rock we salute you, high voltage, highway to hell, back in black and if you want blood you've got it. What other albums do you reckon I should get?

[ArcLite]

POWERAGE for sure, awesome and rarely mentioned album of the Bon days. Get Dirty Deeds and Razor's Edge too.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Powerage it is

[angus_young1990]

strap on is not the name of the new album that is just a rumour made by some werido

[Brian Goss]

My favorite album by them is Flick of the Switch right now. :D

All these people who think AC-DC has written the same music over and over needs to compare the Flick of the Switch album to the Highway to Hell album..Both have awesome guitar sounds, but the tones and overall vibe are a lot different.

[ArcLite]

Yeah, all thier albums are different, some more than others. I always thought Razor's Edge had a much different sound than any other Brian-era album. I think most people who say all their songs are the same are people who only know what they hear on the radio and are not familiar with numerous albums as a whole.

[rippa32]

I've got for those about to rock we salute you, high voltage, highway to hell, back in black and if you want blood you've got it. What other albums do you reckon I should get?

Let There Be Rock. The greatest AC/DC album of all time. Gotta love the solo to whole lotta rosie.

[Ulysses]

Let There Be Rock. The greatest AC/DC album of all time. Gotta love the solo to whole lotta rosie.

couldn't argue with that :cool:

[rippa32]

Is it just my album or does Whole Lotta Rosie go for longer than what is written on the case?

[Ulysses]

Is it just my album or does Whole Lotta Rosie go for longer than what is written on the case?

It goes for longer than written on the case, I have noticed that with "If You Want Blood" too, most of the songs exceed the time printed on the casing.

[rippa32]

Ok. What AC/DC albums have you got Ulysses.

[Ulysses]

All of them bought except TNT and recordings such as Live at Atlantic Studios and singles.

[rippa32]

Ill definataly end up with all of them. You said you didnt have TNT, are you an australian?

[Ulysses]

Yeah I'm from Sydney, proud Aussie but I bought High Voltage instead although it would be worth getting TNT at some stage, I have a lot of imports in my collection and because TNT wasn't published overseas it's hard to find for a reasonable price (with so many record stores in Sydney I never pay full price these days), so I haven't really bothered to purchase it. They sell it one record store in the CBD but I have other albums in mind before I get it, I would also like to get the Australian Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap because the cover rips the imported version. What AC/DC records do you have?

[Ulysses]

Yeah, some of AC/DC's lesser known songs still rock the house down it's just they haven't been exposed as the others have. "Shake a Leg" and "Have a Drink On Me" are two of my favourites from Back In Black.

[rippa32]

What AC/DC records do you have?

I am also a proud aussie. The albums I have are:

High Voltage (like you its the international one so m going to have to get TNT as well as the Aussie original)

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Aussie Version. Not only is the cover better but there are songs I dont think you can get on any international releases)

Let There Be Rock (Same as Dirty Deeds comments)

Highway To Hell

Back In Black

For Those About To Rock

Razors Edge

Live


I will probably get Powerage or Flick of the Switch next.

[ArcLite]

You don't have Powerage? Wow, that is a great must have album. Its in the top three of the Bon days for sure. Such a great album but its not very known.

[rippa32]

I came close to getting it once. But I had just recently spent too much money on CD's so I decided against it. It was a hard decision but I had to do it for my bank balance.

[Slash4040]

You are uterley true and although it hurts millions of kook kids around the world- AC/DC wasn't all that talented. So stop trying to be popular by following the crowd and throw down you Back In Black shirts you bought at Target and Wal-Mart.
Agreed.

[AB/CD]

ive got all the albums Bon released on record :D only listened to em once so they wont get damaged i have his autograph as well :D

[JAStewart]

I saw AB/CD live, never seen AC/DC live though.

[rippa32]

ive got all the albums Bon released on record :D only listened to em once so they wont get damaged i have his autograph as well :D

How did you get his autograph?

[rippa32]

Anyone heard Big Gun? I had to download it beause its not on any of the albums. (Should of been put on Ballbreaker as an extra IMO) I like it. What does everyone think of the song?

[thickasabrick]

I've heard Big Gun, good song, although a little generic. (typical AC/DC)

edit- AC/DC albums I have:

Vinyl
Dirty Deeds
Let There Be Rock (my favourite)
Highway To Hell
Back In Black
For Those About to Rock

CD
Dirty Deeds
Let There Be Rock
Powerage
Back In Black
The Razors Edge

[rippa32]

Did you buy those vinyl albums yourself or were they handed down from you're parents?

[Broken Arrow]

I have If You Want Blood on viynl and a bunch of CDs. I don't listen to them much but they were cheap and at the time they were probably my favourite band.

[Brewer14]

Let there be Rock or If you Want Blood are probably my favorite AC/DC albums. People give all the attention to Live, but Blood is better in my opinion.

[rippa32]

Actually you will notice that in this thread Blood gets more attention.

[AB/CD]

some1 asked how i got Bons autograph. dad used to be a big fan and during the highway to hell tour they played Belfast anyway they went to some pub and my dad and his mates went down to it after the show and saw Angus Bon and Malcolm asked for their autographs and then when i got into AC/dC like 2 years ago my dad gave me his autograph

[rippa32]

^ I would love to just meet Angus Malcolm and Bon (well okay bit hard to meet bon).

[willis2441]

thats bad ****in @$$

[rippa32]

So can anyone here play an instrument and if so whats you're favourite AC/DC song to play?

[¡monkeysonmars!]

Back in black is the only song worth playing.

[rippa32]

I know a thread has been started about this but it's been 25 years to the day today since Bon Scotts death. RIP

[Timidus]

lol I only started playing the guitar 2 weeks ago, so the only AC/DC song I know how to play is Hells Bells :)

[rippa32]

I havnt been playing too long either. Well about 4 months. AC/DC songs I can play are Back in Black and Shook Me All Night, but I cant play the solos.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I havnt been playing too long either. Well about 4 months. AC/DC songs I can play are Back in Black and Shook Me All Night, but I cant play the solos.
That is about how long I have been playing bass. AC/DC songs I know are whole lotta rosie and TNT

[angus_young1990]

So can anyone here play an instrument and if so whats you're favourite AC/DC song to play?

i play guitar and i prefer 2 play highway 2 hell but backi n black is gd

[houses_of_holy]

i play guitar, love playin highway to hell and for those about to rock

[CreepingDeath~]

I play drums, and I can play basically every AC/DC song that I have heard...

I don't have a favorite.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I play drums, and I can play basically every AC/DC song that I have heard...

I don't have a favorite.
showoff :p

[maddog87]

I can play almost every acdc song.At least the good ones

[maddog87]

"highway to hell" is my favorite

[AB/CD]

i play bass the songs i can play r let there be rock highway to hell hail ceaser whole lotta rosie thunderstruck sin city

[Rasta Rocker]

I love 'em, but their songs are really easy...atleast for bass

[AB/CD]

they r a simple band tho they just make catchy songs they dont go out and say right we r gonna make the hardest fastest solo we can they just make a easy solo

[CreepingDeath~]

showoff :p

Not really, I think some one who has played drums for maybe a month could play all of them. They are all really easy (for drums at least).

[maddog87]

angus has a way of making a solo seem really easy,but it ends up to be pretty hard. there was one part in "back in black" that was only like 3 seconds long but took me about a month to learn it.he is way underrated

[AB/CD]

he also very small

[Kardi The Lobet]

He's your classic guitar playing Hick from Australia...Who then becomes famous along with his brother in a rock n roll band...Very common... :)
