jesus christ can we please stop saying "AC/DC r the msot influential band" or "y does every1 say angus is a bad guitarist" every1 aready ****ing knows that **** u are all just little ****ing poser wannabe cunts u have no knowledge of the band compared to half the people here u probably all believe that Angus was born in 1959

[gloom]

AC/DC is my favorite band. Not everything that they play is very easy.

[MrHigh]

i really like AC/DC although some songs do sound the same...but when a band puts out 17 CD's its bound to get repetitive, i dont blame them.

Ya im totally with u on that Im a true AC/DC die hard fan i love emm and i gotta admit that they do repeate sometimes but they made the greatest rock n roll album of all time. Ohh and Angus is not overrated u stupid Punkers that only like one song then say the rest are stupid

[MrHigh]

Let me ask you this......What would rock be like today w/o AC/DC? Angus and Malcolm freakin rock. Malcolm is a very underrated rhythm guitarist.

I totally agree i thing Malcom is one of the greatest rhythm players
they are both very talented brothers

[MrHigh]

Alot of kids in my school wear Ac/dc shirts but have only heard Back in Black. It pisses me off

I hate those assholes who do that there like ohh Back in Black is the best lalalalalala ima fag i wanna rip their FACES OFF

A true fan would never admit to them repeating because you see, they dont.

[rippa32]

Hey does anyone own Flick of the Switch? Im thinking of getting it.

[LocoDiablo]

just get family jewels and you basically get flick of the switch...overall the DVD kicks ***

[Bucky]

Yeah. It's amazing! And I've only seen the first disc!

[Bass Queen]

acdc is my most favourite band.....their songs are really cool and really easy to play. I actually know some people who know them personally coz i'm from australia and they used to live here.
has anyone ever been to acdc street in Melbourne?????????
I am only 14 and heaps of people pick on me for liking them because they are such an old band.....but it dosn't stop me from liking them.

Well that was a mouthful. And as for the people who pick on you just because you listen to old music. Ask them if they have actually heard any of the bands you like. It shuts them up every time. btw I wish I liked AC/DC when I was 14.

[Ulysses]

I began listening to AC/DC when I was 13 actually, Year 7 and fresh into high school. Couldn't get enough it. I know a girl who knows Mark Evans, family friend. Makes sense as I live quite close to where Angus and Malcolm grew up.

[Bass Queen]

awsome!!!!!!!

[Ulysses]

Some bloke at school reckons his uncle went to school with Malcolm at Ashfield Boys High. Didn't associate with him though. Malcolm was a clown at school and when Angus came along the teachers got stuck into him straight away.

[Bass Queen]

a friend of my mums used to know them not sure how he knows them though......how old are you????????? Hope your about my age everyone on these forums are way older than me......

[rippa32]

Theres quite a few people here about our age actually. (im 16)

[badtaste]

AC/DC are a real rocker's rock band. Nuff said.

[AB/CD]

flick of the switch is a great album just it was pretty badly produced compared to some of their other albums but it still sounded good

[davser]

Reckon you lot are fans? Where's the 50th birthday tributes for Angus then?

March 31st 1955 Glasgow, Scotland.

Happy Birthday Angus!

[Brewer14]

Hey does anyone own Flick of the Switch? Im thinking of getting it.

I own it, and I think its way underrated. Buy it!

"Reckon you lot are fans? Where's the 50th birthday tributes for Angus then?"

[rippa32]

Oh yeah fair enough. Come to think of it this is the only thread I know that has people competing for how big a fan they are.

[davser]

nah rippa im revering to the guy who said

"Reckon you lot are fans? Where's the 50th birthday tributes for Angus then?"

Yeah, could you roughly translate what you were saying as

"knowing where the **** the tribute is being held means **** all doesnt make u anymore of a fan" means nothing to me.

Tribute? Don't know of any tribute let alone where one may be being held.

If you notice it says 1955. A bit late to attend that event.

As oor Angus is the member with the highest profile and with the most fans out of the band I'd have thought someone on this thread would have posted that it was his 50th.

Chill out! I think we all like AC/DC here and it's not a competition to be No1 fan.

[rippa32]

I wish it wasnt a competition, Have you ever posted here before?

[davser]

I wish it wasnt a competition, Have you ever posted here before?

I've been a member since Feb 02.

Not much in this thread if I can remember.

[rippa32]

Yeah I meant specifically this thread. Actually come to think of it ive never seen you before oh well. So what AC/DC albums do you have?

[davser]

Yeah I meant specifically this thread. Actually come to think of it ive never seen you before oh well. So what AC/DC albums do you have?
Vinyl

Jailbreak 74
High Voltage (different cover from now, it has a cartoon picture of an exaggerated Bon Scott in lurid colours, sideways profile, head back singing - still got the letters on the back though)
DDDDC
Powerage
If You want blood
Back in Black
Highway to Hell
Let there be Rock
For those about to Rock.
Who made Who
Had Flick of the Switch but loaned it never got back.

Other stuff - not much really
Live at atlantic studios on bootleg (hey who passed around the beer!, Great version of Hell ain't a bad place to be if I remember right) .
Let there be Rock (french concert and interviews) - VHS
Stiff Upper Lip - DVD

Kinda lost interest after Fly on the Wall so missed out on their later stuff. Not the same without Bon though Back in Black is, obviously, a classic.

Had an older bro who introduced me to them when I was just small. Round about the time If you want blood was released.
Angus got me playing guitar, no question.

[rippa32]

Ive seen that High Voltage cover. Do you live in England?

[davser]

Scotland.

Don't think that cover lasted very long! I remember the UK version changed to the Angus lightning rod cover in the mid 80's.

[rippa32]

So how did you get hold of so many vinyl albums? Are you old enough to have bought them when they first came out?

[thunderstruck306]

ac/dc's music is simple and it's tru that angus does have some skill though....... but what matters is that they r one of the greatest bands in rock and roll and they put on a hell of a show


I agree!

[thunderstruck306]

Ac/dc! I love Ac/dc! They are one of the best bands in rock history! They kick ***! Angus Young is not an over rated guitar player. He is the lead gutarist of an awesome band! His solos are amazing, he is entertaining and puts on a great show, the tunes he comes up with are incredible and sure some of it sounds the same but not all of it and if its the kind of music you like it does'nt matter. There lyrics are great! When you combine Angus youngs solos and jumpin around like a maniac with the rythem guitar of his brother malcome, Bon Scotts voice(or brian johnson), with drums, bass, awesome lyrics, and evrthing rock stands for you got one kick *** band! They rock what else can i say!

Oh and has anyone got family jewels yet? I realy wanna get that!

all these people are saying their songs are repetitive, but if u actually learn them on the guitar like i have all of them are totally different except for like 2 or 3, the solos and riffs arnt even close to sounding the same.
besides that ac/dc rocks, especially w/ brian johnson. cause me personally i didnt like ac/dc to much w/ bon, brian just fits the role better.

bassdudeok you ****en retard, that is not discussion, if you don't like them don't post in this thread. I couldn't say I like Metallica but do i go to the Metallica thread and bag them out. **** some people shouldve been killed at birth.

[Bon_Scottie]

The reason as to why Angus wears a school uniform is that when he was in his teenager years, he would used to run home from school just to get to band practice. He'd be so willing to get to band practice he wouldn't change out of his uniform.

This then became a gimic.

Anybody seen the 'Family Jewels' DVD yet? It's really good, especially as a collectable. My favourite video/track from the whole album is probably Flick thing/Rocker. The riff is awesome at the beggining, and then Angus being Angus... goes into the crowd playing the guitar.

It doesn't show the best of AC/DC, as they do the video's in order of the time line. For instance, they've done some amazing live shows and recordings for 'Whole lotta rosie', but they played the video from back when they had just started playing it and released it.

Still a great watch.

PS: Why are people arugeing over who is a fan and who isn't? Surely, can't we just have a discussion about them? There's no need to proove who is the bigger fan.

[Ulysses]

"Family Jewels" comes out today actually. It is definately a must get but I need to save up my cash for a new PA system..then I'll buy it.

[MyChemicalRomance203]

angus sound teh same in a lot of songs but he was a stage performer and that's why ppl love ac/dc because of all they're craziness live and catchy riff (ex. Back in Black)
They're one of my fav bands tho

[Ulysses]

Stage performance makes a band for me, If they have no stage presence than I would probably not fork out money to see them live. Not in all cases but to get involved in the music a musician cannot merely stand and show little emotion and there's plenty out there like that.

[Ulysses]

how many live performances are actually on the discs? I recently downloaded a few of their Bon Scott clips and burnt them to VCD because I was so desperate for material showcasing him live. I got a 1977 concert which is really good and other tracks.

[davser]

So how did you get hold of so many vinyl albums? Are you old enough to have bought them when they first came out?

Fraid so. I was still in primary school though so not that old.

AC/DC are just a smellier version of Led Zeppelin.

I like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin..

[davser]

He's not that far off actually. The reason AC/DC signed to Atlantic records was because Zep were signed to them. AC/DC were big admirers of Led Zep.

[rippa32]

You sure? I know Angus has a huge respect for Chuck Berry and those other 50s 60s rock musicians.

[maddog87]

He's not that far off actually. The reason AC/DC signed to Atlantic records was because Zep were signed to them. AC/DC were big admirers of Led Zep.
actually, they prefered the more bluesy sound of chuck berry or jerry lee lewis.led zep was more on the mainsteram of music.
angus & mal wanted to just play hard rock.even if they did like them, they wouldnt copy their style.
besides the point, led zep is a completely different sound. i like them though

[maddog87]

wrong the uniform is just a gimmick Angus wasnt in school when he and Malcolm had sarted AC/DC and he was too old to be in school anyway.

[maddog87]

wrong the uniform is just a gimmick Angus wasnt in school when he and Malcolm had sarted AC/DC and he was too old to be in school anyway.
hes right. it was in a guitar legdgens article a few months ago. he used to run from school to practice.

[southside]

From the start i'm going to tell you i'm biased to AC/DC as i'm australian.

While AC/DC may not be technically superior to some bands in guitar playing skills at the time of their peak (late 70's-80's and Donnington '91) they were one of the best live acts going round, Angus going into the crowd and get lifted up in a cherry picker at the end of Let There Be Rock at Donnington is something that is etched in my mind as well as Angus playing guitar on Bon or Brian's shoulders depending on the time. Their riffs are catchy and the lyrics are memorable.They are my favourite band as my belief is that only when a band master the live acts can they rank up there in top bands lists. But in saying that they are out of place in my fav bands list as my next two favourite bands are Midnight Oil and Rage Against The Machine because of the messages behind their great music and live act.

[davser]

You sure? I know Angus has a huge respect for Chuck Berry and those other 50s 60s rock musicians.

I'm not saying they wanted to sound like them. They wanted to be on the same label, and considering how succesful Zep were, it's not surprising.

[rippa32]

rippa, what kind of guitar do you have?i got a gibson sg special w/57 classics.

How did you know I played guitar? Well anyhoo mine is just a strat copy. Its my first and ive only been playing 6 months now.

[rippa32]

hes right. it was in a guitar legdgens article a few months ago. he used to run from school to practice.

Angus was 18 when AC/DC was formed. I doubt he ran from school.

[maddog87]

guitar ledgens did a special on acdc a few months ago. in the interview he said that he used to run from school to the band practice. im not too sure if the band was official then, but his sister recommended he wear his school uniform.if you want you can go to the mag. website and see if they have the article on it. anyway, your profile said that you played guitar,so i was just wondering. :D is it a squier? that was my first electric guitar.ive been playing for about two years now.

[Bon_Scottie]

Family Jewels is great, and yeah I wish there would of been more live videos. I think disc 1's the best, then again I havent watched disc 2 much, what about you?

Disc one by far. Probably because I'm a huge fan of the Bon Scott era. Plus I just prefer the music. Obviously Johnson's era is also great... but I just personally preferred Bon Scott.

I read that Angus used to run home from school to get to band practice in a few interviews and on an AC/DC facts site... when I had to do a presentation on them. Obviously it must have been before the AC/DC years.

edit: Just read about the AC/DC - Chuck berry thing. Isn't it easy to see from the duck walk that Angus was a big fan of Chuck? Chuck berry basically made the duckwalk. All adds up to the stage entertainment...

I'm planning getting the latest Kerrang mag, just because it has an awesome front cover of Angus playing his geetar', with the AC/DC logo on it. I guess I'll frame it and keep it for many years to come.

:D

[AB/CD]

I read that Angus used to run home from school to get to band practice in a few interviews and on an AC/DC facts site

when angus first started playing he ran home to play his guitar not band practice. Angus left school at 15 and worked in a softcore **** factory then AC/DC started he never wore the uniform on stage originally although he still had his old school uniform and could still fit into it. then during gigs hed dress up as zorro and superman and a gorilla but the school boy suit got the biggest response from everyone so he kept it.

next thing just becos u read it on a facts site doesnt mean its correct half the AC/DC facts on the internet are wrong theres even one saying Angus has a flowershop in Holland or something but he doesnt really.

[acdc91something]

AC/DC plays simple stuff, but it's all about the emotion. Angus may be over rated, because he's not as fast as Vai or he's not as creative as Hendrix but he feels the music. It's all about the music. THE MUSIC THE MUSIC THE MUSIC!!!!!

[acdc91something]

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....
You say that they are simple but good. It doesn't really matter what they are, just what they sound like. If it's simple but you like it, then why criticize them? They do what they do best, play rock n' roll. There good musicians in the sense that they play good music, not how good they play it.
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

[the_green_bastard]

Angus is an incredible player, he will always be one of rock's guitar greats. I used to be very closed-minded, however, like a lot of AC/DC fans - I listened to a lot of AC/DC and nothing else. I find your taste broadens dramatically once you actually start playing the guitar.

[JACKROXYOU]

i got that family jewels today

thats an *** kicker

[thunderzstruck]

No, I read somewhere that Angus would often run home from school to band practice when he was 15. He never had enough time to change so he stayed in his schoolboy outfit. His sister gave him the idea of wearing it in concerts.

(I'm pretty sure the pamphlet of High Voltage said that)

[Bon_Scottie]

Me too thunzerstuck.

But AB/CD seems to know his stuff. I only presumed I was right as I've read many websites claiming this to be true, and many interviews. I'd rather go along with what the fact sites and interviews have said, rather than you.

Nice Scott Weiland avatar. And I agree, Angus is an incredible guitar player..

[rippa32]

I want to clear up the uniform thing. AB/CD is right it was playing the guitar and not even bothering to get out of his school uniform. It has been stated that Angus was 15 at the time but this was a lie concocted by a magazine(dont ask me which one) to make him look younger and therefore fit the ideal of a uniform better.

[AB/CD]

Angus used to go along with that story but come on Angus only started playing guitar when he was around 12 AC/DC wasnt formed until after he left school at 15 so how could he run home from a school he wasnt even at in a uniform he didnt even wear

[Bon_Scottie]

Ofcourse he could of at the age of fifteen.

But, it doesn't matter.

My mate has given me his Kerrang magazine with a nice AC/DC article in it. It has a really nice cover with Angus on the front, I'll try scan it some time. Anyway, here's the first paragraph... It's pretty funny.

"Angus young has been heckled before, but no-one has ever walked onstage - his stage - and put him in a headlock halfway through a gig. Verbal insults are par for the course in the rought 'n tumble pubs of Perth, and normally the guitarist lets them slide. But it's hard to ignore a gorilla grapling with your face. Wiggling out of both the headlock and his guitar strap, Angus deals his assailant a short, sharp, blow to the head, followed by a swift kick in the arse, jettisoning him back into the crowd. Behind him the band have stopped playing and are preparing for the worst. After all, in a pub like this, where the drink seems to taste better with a good fight, things could explode at any second. But, satisfied the job is done, Angus simply turns around, straps his guitar on, gives his band the nod and they're of again.

'I know I look tiny up there, but thats the worst time to give me grief' he smiles backstage. 'When I pull that suit on, it takes over!'. Lesson number one: No-one ****s with AC/DC".

Awesome pictures too. I'm not a fan of the Kerrang mag, but this article is niiice.

[AB/CD]

heard about that story my dad told me 1 about when they came to Belfast on the highway to hell tour

new wave punk was startin i think and during the gig the punks kept trying to spit on Angus so eventually after a song Angus walked to the front of the stage and since the whole audience had shut up now since they knew somethign was up u could make Angus out clearly and his exact words were "if u lot dont stop spitting on this stage I wil get down there and kick your asses" bastards stopped spitting woulda liked aload of punks to get mauled by a midget

Yeah, I read the punk scene was on a high when they first started.

In the article, it had a little bit about how once Johnny Rotton was watching AC/DC live on stage, and he knew AC/DC weren't punk, and he was also unimpressed. But as soon as Angus jumped onto the stage, span around the floor, duckwalked, and held his hand up to crowd saluting them, you could tell Angus didn't care too much for Punk 'nor Johnny Rotton.

Angus said they just want to make hard rock.

new wave punk was startin i think and during the gig the punks kept trying to spit on Angus so eventually after a song Angus walked to the front of the stage and since the whole audience had shut up now since they knew somethign was up u could make Angus out clearly and his exact words were "if u lot dont stop spitting on this stage I wil get down there and kick your asses" bastards stopped spitting woulda liked aload of punks to get mauled by a midget

Yeah youve told that one before. Ive never forgotten it. It just shows dont **** with angus.

[angus-young]

I hate people who say Angus is over rated and I even read that Phil Rudd is over rated well my first reaction was of course 'bull****'

Angus Young is the most idolistic guitarists of all time

[maddog87]

in january of 75, acdc and deep purple got into a fight on the middle of the stage in front of about 20,000 people. deep purple didnt want to be followed by acdc b/c they were jelous.after the fight acdc plus george young went onstage and played( deep purple was pretty mad,but they didnt want to get ****ed up after the show) :lol:

[AB/CD]

ill tell u what best thing AC/DC do is occasonally have Angus sing might jsut be a line or just repeating oi over and over but its still great cos he sounds like hes on viagra or something

[rippa32]

I once heard that AC/DC was once supporting Black Sabbath and was kicked out because angus beat up the bass player. I dont know what bass player, I hope it wasnt geezer.

[BlackFlag88]

i can't stand their singles...or "hits" or w/e but i like some of the **** that how do i say this....sounds...different

[Brewer14]

I once heard that AC/DC was once supporting Black Sabbath and was kicked out because angus beat up the bass player. I dont know what bass player, I hope it wasnt geezer.

I thought it was Malcohm that beat up the bass player?

[/\DESTROYER/\]

ac/dc isnt bad i guess. i dont like brians voice though, sounds the same in every song. also, every "prep" is starting to wear ac/dc shirts with there little 6' chain ac/dc wallet, and still cant name everyone in the band. Ever since J.C. Pennies and like k-mart started selling ac/dc shirts, everyone has one even if they dont know who they are. Bi+ches.

[Shadow_Angels_Sing]

My band wanted to play ac/dc as a cover song.

but we wern't sure about the singer....ha.

I still love them.

[MASTER_OF_PUPPETS21]

I thought it was Malcohm that beat up the bass player?
It was Malcom but angus could hav dun it anyway coz his a legend

[rippa32]

I thought it was Malcohm that beat up the bass player?

Oh yeah. My mistake.

[Child of the Grave]

just got Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Awesomeness!:)

[Prodigy Guitarist]

they are a good band, there music isnt as complicated as most bands, but it still sounds good, and that's all that matters.

[RockInCanada]

AC/DC is my favorite band of all time, but its just a matter of opinion. I like their simple straight forward rock n roll style, but other people dont seem to as much.
And they were ALOT better with Bon Scott, but Brian is still awesome

[ATM]

So I just downloaded an ACDC video with Bon Scott dressed as a school girl. :lol:

[AB/CD]

baby please dont go

[angusvsslash52]

So I just downloaded an ACDC video with Bon Scott dressed as a school girl. :lol:
hahaha, Bon was awesome. to bad the guy died. :upset:

[EightMilesHigh]

hahaha, Bon was awesome. to bad the guy died. :upset:

Yep. Brian Johnson is cool and all, but nothing could really compare to Bon. That guy was just pure insanity.

[rippa32]

just got Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Awesomeness!:)

Very true. I really like the 50's rock slant that album has.

[AB/CD]

rocker is the best song off dirty deeds well i thikn so cos its fast and catchy the lyrics are pretty simple and its catchy.....again

[rippa32]

Rocker? Oh yeah thats right you have the international release. Rock in Peace is a great song on that album. Is that on the international release?

[angusvsslash52]

Whats the best song ac/dc has?
I say It's a long way to the top.

[EightMilesHigh]

I'm a fan of Whole Lotta Rosie, Shake A Leg, and Walk All Over You.

[Child of the Grave]

rocker is the best song off dirty deeds well i thikn so cos its fast and catchy the lyrics are pretty simple and its catchy.....again

true, thats probably one of their most enjoyable IMO. short, catchy and dancable. I also like Big Balls, its funny as all hell! :lol:

[rippa32]

meh It loses its charm after a while. I only listen cause I like the tune.

[rippa32]

Whats the best song ac/dc has?
I say It's a long way to the top.

All of them.

[Mufasa.]

All of them.

:confused:

All of them are their best?


I'll have to go with Whole Lotta Rosie and Jailbreak.

[rippa32]

I meant I couldn't choose there all great.

[AB/CD]

i love all their songs however picking 1 amazing song off each album theres a topic for ya all

high voltage-high voltage
dirty deeds-rocker
74 jailbreak-baby please dont go
let there be rock-go down
powerage-rock n roll ****ation
if u want blood-whole lotta rosie
highway to hell-touch too much
back in black-shoot to thrill
for those about to rock-night of the long knifes
flick of the switch-guns for hire
fly on the wall-shake your foundations
who made who-DT
blow up your video-thats the way i wana rock n roll
the razors edge-are you ready
AC/DC live-bonnie
balbreaker-hail ceaser
stiff upper lip-satelite blues
volts-school days

[Brewer14]

just got Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Awesomeness!:)

Ride On is easily the best off that CD, in my opinion. Anyone who has ever said all AC/DC songs sound the same, or that Bon cant write lyrics, needs to listen to that song.

[handicap$]

good band but highy over rated but good band to listen to when your bored

[angusvsslash52]

good band but highy over rated but good band to listen to when your bored

So is it a good band? haha jsut say it once, and say it so people can plainly see what you want to say.

[AB/CD]

i gots me a guitar i normally play bass but figured id get 1 and the first thing ive learnt is hard as a rock :p

[angusvsslash52]

[AB/CD]

it is fun ive been transferring the guitar onto bass instead of playing the normal boring bass line

[Time]

bon scotts better than brian johnson

[will66]

I know cliff willams' son (the bassist) , he goes to my school really cool guy

[acdcroker]

Does anyone know about there new cd? I read somewhere it was supposed to be out last year?

[PyRoMaNiA674]

Discuss all you like. Im just sick of people saying basically the same thing all the time.


ok. Thanks for not freakin out on me there

[Brewer14]

Does anyone know about there new cd? I read somewhere it was supposed to be out last year?

Its supposed to come out sometime this year, November I think. Dont quote me on that though.

[maddog87]

whats it gonna be called? does anybody know??

[Element of LED 435]

yeah i wanna know~

[Marty]

whats it gonna be called? does anybody know??

I heard it was gonna be called "strap it on," but who knows

[Yogurtishealthy]

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 makes a key point to adress an issue that i come with against a lot of mxers and most players i know.

music never is and was about technicality, if you go by technical diffuculty you've lost the power of music, it stops the good mood feeling. people critisize bands like blink and green day because they're 'crap' or are too simple. yet i'm sure they never see it as that. they're as good as they need be, just because there's no shredding, you know. it destroys the feel of music, some people need to learn that...

...or is it just me?

[Yogurtishealthy]

Does anyone know about there new cd? I read somewhere it was supposed to be out last year?

apparently according to what i'm reading the new cd is just their family jewels dvd.
i was kinda looking forward to a new cd, and them headlining donington.
ah well, i hope they make a new cd though

[AB/CD]

nah isnt family jewels they have even said they are hard at work writing new material for the new album and it probably wont be called strap it on they hardly ever let u no much about anything new

[maddog87]

i just got an effects pedal with angus's distortion sound on it. it sounds great through my half.

[Brewer14]

I heard it was gonna be called "strap it on," but who knows

Nah, I think thats just a rumor...and I think its supposed to come out later this year.

also, check this out:
"Already AC/DC's Family Jewels has been number one in the Music DVD charts of Austria , France , Germany , Italy , Norway , United States and the United Kingdom." (link here (http://www.crabsodyinblue.com/acdchomepage.htm) )

glad to see AC/DC can still sell like crazy around the world :thumb:

[Bon_Scottie]

i just got an effects pedal with angus's distortion sound on it. it sounds great through my half.

Nice, how much did it cost?

I read on the Gibson site that Angus doesn't actually use pedals, or drives distortion into his guitar. I'll get the interview now;

What are your typical live amp settings?

In your part of the world, a lot of venues are built with the same sort of design, so the sound doesn’t change all that much from night to night. But the amp settings will vary a bit in different venues. We do a little bit of juggling before we go out on tour and just try to get things as consistent as possible. I’ll take four 100-watt amps (Marshall or Wizard) and try them out individually. I’ll get a couple together and go through them to try to line up four that are pretty much the same in terms of tone and character. Then I just crank up a little bit of bass and put a little bit of middle in. If it’s too bassy, I’ll cut it back. Usually, all the controls are set about halfway, never full up. A lot of people think it sounds best when you drive the amps to death, but I never do it that way. I think that when you turn things up too much, the sound sort of goes a bit mushy.

Your tone is actually much cleaner than many people think.

It is. The amp is set very clean. A lot of people who have picked up my guitar and tried it through my amp have been shocked at how clean it is. They think it’s a very small sound when they play it and wonder how it sounds so much bigger when I’m playing. I just like enough gain so that it will still cut when you hit a lead lick without getting that sort of false Tonebender-type sound. I like to get a natural sustain from the guitar and amp.

Do you ever use a boost pedal for leads?

No. The only boost between the guitar and amp is me!

[rippa32]

Ive seen that interview somewhere. Its fairly good.

[DJ69]

WOW! I just saw a film clip of Angus playing Thunderstruck live. Holy **** that guy can play. It makes really proud to be Aussie. he just goes crazy, i dont know how he play that fast while rolling around on the ground like a maniac.

[rippa32]

What clip is this?

[ArcLite]

Do any of you guys know what concert/DVD has the part with Angus kicking around in a circle on the ground, then walking on his knees...they show the clip briefly in the School of Rock movie.

[DJ69]

i dont know, i taped rage ages ago and i found the tape and was just watching it. And it said thunderstruck live

[rippa32]

Do any of you guys know what concert/DVD has the part with Angus kicking around in a circle on the ground, then walking on his knees...they show the clip briefly in the School of Rock movie.

Yeah ive wandered where to get that after seeing that movie. Maybe its on High Voltage.

[Bon_Scottie]

Not sure if it's on DVD, but I've got the video via the Internet. If we are talking about the same video, that is...

He's playing 'Rocker', and he basically just goes insane. At one point he actually has to go off stage and take in oxygen via a oxygen mask. Then, he gets on a body guards shoulders and goes through the crowd playing a solo.

As he gets back onto the stage, he runs back on for, falls to the floor, spins around, gets back up onto his knee's and they finish it.

It's an awesome video, but I'm not totally sure wether we are talking about the same one. I know Jack Black is a big AC/DC fan, and if it is a different video, I'd too like to get hold of it.

One of my teachers today came down and played a bit of guitar in our hall as my band was practicing, and even though he was a fan of AC/DC and could play nearly every solo I asked him to play, which vaired from Whole lotta' Rosie to Back in black, he claimed that he didn't think they were that great live.

I slapped him.

[6Graveyard6Disciple6]

I think that they are really over-rated especially with kids who know crap about music. But they have some talent, if they weren't as popular I would be a bigger fan. They put on a nice show, but if they go on with more merchandising and crap then they will be like how Kiss turned out.

[Brewer14]

Is that the video thats "Rocker Live 1979"? I love that video..no wonder Angus is so skinny, he sweats so **** much.

and graveyard, what the hell does how popular they are have to do with how good they are, or how much you like them? Not liking a band because they're popular is stupid.

if that video is rocker that u r on abou it off let there be rock the live video great video to but i dont watch it anymore

Kids who know crap about music?

Thats a lameass comment. AC/DC are only known by these 'kids' because they've made a few nice T-Shirts and DVD's. Kids like the style of the T-Shirts and merchandise, and buy it. They probably know jack about the music, or have heard one or two songs. This doesn't mean they are over rated.

Whether you like them or not is your opinion, but not liking a band because of kids buying their merchandise is stupid.

If anything, Angus is very under rated. You hardly ever see his name in the great guitarist polls. But if you do, it's because of his entertaining style of playing.

Smells like teen spirit... s'average.

[rippa32]

[Bon_Scottie]

Without a doubt, it should.

I doubt there will be any other AC/DC threads aside from this one, and if there are, people are normally told to post in here.

mm yeah, its pretty much official now though

[AB/CD]

if there is gonna be a new album it better kick as its pretty much gonna be a comeback albumsince the last 1 was released 5 ****ing years ago so if this album isnt as good as stiff uper lip ill be pissed i dont want it being another st anger or the system has failed by megadeth

[~The Wise One~]

i heard about a world tour. anyone else hear about that?

[AB/CD]

if its after the album release then definately they always do em after an album gets released

They're getting old man, you can't expect a new album every 2 or 3 years. I'm just glad they're still putting out new records (and I doubt its as bad as St Anger..)

[ATM]

Do any of you guys know what concert/DVD has the part with Angus kicking around in a circle on the ground, then walking on his knees...they show the clip briefly in the School of Rock movie.

He did that in many preformances. I'm not sure which one was shown on School of Rock, though.

[ArcLite]

He did that in many preformances. I'm not sure which one was shown on School of Rock, though.

Yeah, I know he does it regularly, but I want that particular one. They also show the clip in the Dirty Deeds video. Great stuff, cracks me up everytime I see him do it.

bands getting old problem is u not sen how much ****e they have been dong in the past few years

I see what you mean, but come on... do you really expect that AC/DC will change there sound?

They will always play hard simplistic rock, and always make great music.

I can't wait for AC/DC to release an album and hopefully do a world tour. My Dad has seen them a few times in his life, but I've never been able to go to one of their concerts as I'm only like fifteen, and I suspect that if they did do a world tour It would be my last change to feel the passion of what is, AC/DC.

[rippa32]

Same as for me. The next will almost certainly be the last.

[AB/CD]

its only gonna be the last if the album doesnt do that good if i does well they r gonna continu cos they no they still have fans who wanna hear the music

[angusvsslash52]

The album will sell, thats a given, there are to many people wondering if AC/DC has anything left, I'll buy there cd.

[ultimaterocker]

ac/dc along with aerosmith is what got me interested again into classic rock and hard rock music again

[Brewer14]

ac/dc along with aerosmith is what got me interested again into classic rock and hard rock music again

AC/DC is who got me into music, not just rock. First band I ever liked.

[Bon_Scottie]

Anybody here heard of an oldskool Classic rock band, called Cinerella?

The vocalist sounds insanly like Brian Johnson.

Try and get the song 'Bad Seamstress Blues'. I literally thought it was Brian at first...

[panasonic youth]

By Cinerella do you mean cinderella, and if you do they aint similar theyre just another glam rock band

[_HiGhVoLtAgE_]

i got one song for you to listen to if you think ac/dc has no talent whole lotta rosie

that is so dam true!! they only like back in black and dont know who the hell bon scott is

true, thats probably one of their most enjoyable IMO. short, catchy and dancable. I also like Big Balls, its funny as all hell! :lol:

yo big balls can also be about ballroom dances too just listen to the lyrics i have the album dirty deeds its awsome!

[MrHigh]

the best overall albums are back in black and highway to hell

WHAT!!!! those arnt the best what about High Voltage, Who Made Who, AC/DC Live and DIrty Deeds and a few other ones too

[Six Foot Revolver]

Way to triple post :rolleyes:

[Forest_Fire]

Damn, I haven't listened to ac/dc in a while. They used to be my favourite band...



/digs through ska cds to try and find high voltage

[Defender0FmetaL]

my fav. song by ACDC is You Shook Me All Night Long

[rippa32]

WHAT!!!! those arnt the best what about High Voltage, Who Made Who, AC/DC Live and DIrty Deeds and a few other ones too

Who Made Who isnt really an album.

[maddog87]

that is so dam true!! they only like back in black and dont know who the hell bon scott is
i know what you mean. one faggot prep kid was wearing a highway to hell shirt and so i went and asked him who angus was. he said that was the lead singer :angry: after that i let him have it. we almost got into a fight because he was so embarrassed :lol:

[Snuzel]

AC/DC are a great rocking band they play hard and fast

[Bucky]

Who Made Who isnt really an album.


True. It was made for a movie wasn't it?

[Bon_Scottie]

By Cinerella do you mean cinderella, and if you do they aint similar theyre just another glam rock band

Yeah, I do mean Cinderella.

I'm not saying they are a good, bad, or what have you, all I'm saying is that on the track I mentioned their lead singer sounds just like Brian.

[Ulysses]

True. It was made for a movie wasn't it?

Yeah, a Stephen King movie, a few of the tracks of the album feature in the film.

[AB/CD]

that is so dam true!! they only like back in black and dont know who the hell bon scott is

that has been established 50 ****ing times

[acdcroker]

On the Family Jewels dvd disc two on the video for That's the Way I wanna Rock N' Roll is that slash in the body cast?

[rippa32]

Yeah, a Stephen King movie, a few of the tracks of the album feature in the film.

There instrumental arnt they?

[AB/CD]

its not slash in the body cast its just some randomn person and theres 2 instrumental on who made who and 1 that isnt which is who made who everythign else is just past songs

[the_fallen_angel]

Most people I know that like ACDC are either faggots, ignorant posers- who have no concept of music at all, or both. I dont care what music people listen to as long as they arn't posers and respect other kinds of music. If I knew someone that really liked Greenday, but knew alot about them, and has knowledge of otherkinds of music and wasn't ignorant, then I wouldn't care, but ACDC has always appeared as "poser" music to me, not bad music tho.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I agree with everything except for the 'f@ggots' part. What up with that?

[maddog87]

Yeah, a Stephen King movie, a few of the tracks of the album feature in the film.
they also made "Big Guns" for "last action hero". the movie was a blockbuster flop, but the songs were allright.

[AB/CD]

makes sense like last ngiht i was tlkaing to this maiden fan but i kept proving him wrong i ended up telling him to shut up cos he only listened to big bands like zeppelin maiden metallica he didnt like AC/DC cos the singer has a hgih pitched voice btu he didnt no there was 2 singers so he doesnt have a clue i hate him and he literally **** himself until he was 14

[Ulysses]

Robert Plant has a high pitched voice and he likes him, what's going on there.

[rippa32]

I noticed you also said Maiden fan. You cant tell me Bruce Dickinson doesnt have a hight pitched voice,

[AB/CD]

told him that aswell he said no bruce doesnt have a high pitched voice and he said he wasl istening to them i asked what song and he said number of the beast i mean u have that high pitched scream an all at the start anyway back to AC/DC anybody no brian johnson done that geordie reunion just to get them some money

[Brewer14]

I wouldnt even consider Bon or Brians voice "high pitched"..

[maddog87]

yea, its got more of a "growl" sound to it.

[maddog87]

bon had a higher voice than brian does, but you can understand him(brian)
a little bit better when he sings. dont get me wrong though, bon is the greatest.

[Brewer14]

...the second guitarist in my band plays Ac/Dc NON-STOP when we practice...I personally like Ac/Dc a lot. They are one of my favorite bands...but it gets so annoying when he tries to play thunderstruck. I might be able to stand it if he could play it right. He just got a new huge stack too...oh god...I shudder just thinking about the next practice...

Sorry, just wanted to add my two cents. Anyway...

ROCK!!!!!!!

maybe you should be lookin for another guitarist, if its so annoyin or tell the guy to stop.

[AB/CD]

or u could slap him upside the face with a glass bottle or u could al learn a song more interesting than thunderstruck then he will lvoe u all and u can all play that successfully

[rippa32]

Yeah I love AC/DC but it would get so annoying if thats all I played. In fact thats true for all the bands I listen to.

Anyone got some advice on playing the intro to Back in Black...it's easy enough but I can't get it to sound like how Angus plays it...it comes off, I don't know, it's hard to explain, almost robotic maybe, when I play it. Advice?
theres a beat between each chord(you are playing power chords, i hope).are you having trouble with the riff after the first three notes?? that was the hardest part for me when i first started playing. timing is every thing. keep practicing.

[Bon_Scottie]

Thats just basically the pentatonic scale.

It's easy when you get the hang of it.

Just found out some awesome new album information, check it out here;

Thanks for the link :thumb:

As for the person having trouble playing back in black, do you have the program Guitar Pro? If so, download the GP file for Back in Black and listen to it on there. It helps a ton when you can't get the rhythm right with a song, because you can turn everything off but the guitar.

You dont need to use power chords. In fact Angus uses full chords.

[kadbase3]

hehe...look at the name.

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.

Then why does Angus do all teh solos? If Mal's better, he should play the role of lead guitar.

ANyway, AC/DC is one of vfavorite bands as well because, even though a lot of thier stuff sounds the same, they still rock. That's all that really matters to me. Their songs are simple. but some how they manage to sound awesome. Of course i like other bands, like the Clash, the Who and teh Beatles, but AC/DC ramians one of the greatest bands ever, and they don't quite get eh respect they deserve.

It affects his drinking. Or something like that.

[AB/CD]

[rippa32]

he uses them on highway 2 hell, but all the other main songs like tnt,dirty deeds, r&r aint n.p.,and many others, he uses power chords. they are much easier and dont sound like thier out of tune. your right though, there are many songs he uses full chords on.

[AB/CD]

malcolm is a midget too but hes still taller than angus

[acdcroker]

:lol: are you serious

[angusvsslash52]

YOU ARE A TARD.

[rippa32]

Are you serious? AC/DC was started by Angus and Malcolm Young. Tenacious D is Jack Blacks "band"

[boofheadgorilla]

Hey ac/dc are a great band. They have one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived in Angus Young. Just watch him live especially on the Stiff Upper Lip DVD and u will see what i mean. Their songs are very catchy but they are also very good at entertaining the crowd and their fans. Without ac/dc rock wouldn't be what it is today. They can prove that it doesn't matter if u are the greatest at woteva u do as long as u can tie it all together with the rest of the band.

Well Live is pretty much treated in that way.

i beg the differ, angus and mal almost always use the open chord positions because of the fuller tone and sustain.

[maddog87]

g & a(except on highway to hell) are almost always used in power chords. i saw an interveiw with angus saying he sometimes uses full chords, but power chords have more balls.

*edit* im not sure about malcom though, your probably right.

[angusvsslash52]

Midget eh?
hahaha, maybe short but not a "midget". :lol:

hmm i dunno man, play an open G chord and then play the power chord. Open sounds like its got more balls to me..but meh as if it matters :chug:

[Ballsack_AC/DC69]

Well, inless you have the same guitar and the same setup as Angus you can't really tell which chord (open or power) has more balls. While it may not sound good to you it could sound great to him.

They also get old after listening to them 5 times.

[maddog87]

maybe if you listen to the same song over and over again.

[KRASH]

yeah!

im learning to play parts of Back in Black right now

[Quagmire 222]

I agree 100%.

My buddies and I have discussed this a lot - the bass and drums have to be the easiest music to play in rock and roll.

The only song that is slightly complex is Thunderstruck, and that's only on the guitar.

Don't get me wrong, I love AC/DC, but still...Phil Rudd's basic Kick Snare Kick Snare gets old FAST.

[AB/CD]

but thats all AC/DC need a basic drum beat and a simple bass line then some solos and lyrics the songs ae catchy not complex they just wanna make good sounding music not to outdo every other guitarist living they didnt aim to become one of the biggest rock bands ever it just happened all they wanted was to play their music

tere not tecnical, and they dont need to in order to be sucessful

[bluefire]

i don't think its about how much skill a band has, its how the music is written and ac/dc must have done it right to have this many followers 30 years on
