Ac/dc

[Brewer14]

I sometimes wish Rudd or Williams would do something different, but it doesnt take away from the music.

[Ulysses]

The emphasis in AC/DC's music is the guitars and vocals not the drums and if you listen to it with this factor in mind, the same simple drum beat doesn't really get old, the heavy simple riffs, soloing and bon scott's vocals are enough to get me firing. If you want a different beat, complexity with cross-rhythms and drum soloing their are plenty of other bands out there to explore that emphasise the drums to a greater extent in their music.

[rippa32]

I agree, rather than bashing accadaccas simplicity go listen to something more complex.

[ACDCFreak09]

AMEN

I say AC/DC is one of the best bands and that they actually got us into the whole blues/rock mix. The way they mixed Buddy Holly and put some power chords into it is amazing. true it is repetitave but a lot of bands are. Many of their songs are a little boring but the solos are amazing.

[AB/CD]

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

i didnt say they were technical

[maddog87]

i didnt say they were technical
i didnt say you did. i was just making a statement.sorry if it came out that way.i was agreeing with you

[EightMilesHigh]

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

It does. For the chorus of "You Shook Me All Night Long," it gets old pretty fast.

[lunar_crest1991]

oh ya!

[angusvsslash52]

It does. For the chorus of "You Shook Me All Night Long," it gets old pretty fast.
O well, whatever works.

[AB/CD]

they may get repetitive with the stuff they write bt u no who cares its good catchy simplistic rock

[Ulysses]

This simplicity issue has been raised in every page of this thread, it has all been discussed before, gets slightly annoying after a while.

[highwaychild377]

i cant belive this thread is still alive. im not going to post anything though, cause im sure everythings been said in more than 50 pages and if it hasnt, then everyone who has posted in here is a chump (including me for not thinking of it).

[highwaychild377]

:lol:i just realized the complete irony of my post.

[Ulysses]

Intriguing, you don't gain much respect by doing this sort of posting. There are always facts that haven't come up previously.

[rippa32]

Is there anybody here who's favourite band is AC/DC? Mine used to be but now I cant think of a favourite.

[AB/CD]

they be my fave band

[i am the robots]

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

They were good when they had one album out, but then they re-released it a bunch of times.

[maddog87]

does anyone other than me actually play ACDC??(INTROS DO NOT COUNT!!!!)

[Brewer14]

does anyone other than me actually play ACDC??(INTROS DO NOT COUNT!!!!)

I'm assuming you mean on guitar, and yes, I do.

[growl666]

i hate acdc, just becuase all these stupid little 11 year old ****s think they're so cool cause they listen to them. they're a poser band now.

[Brewer14]

i hate acdc, just becuase all these stupid little 11 year old ****s think they're so cool cause they listen to them. they're a poser band now.

So you hate them because "11 year old ****s think theyre cool because they listen to them?"

Thats a dumb reason.

[TheDMV]

Because psers listen to them it makes you a poser to like them.

Not very logical.

[rippa32]

Yes in fact if you go through this thread there is alot of bitching about posers done by real fans.

[Bon_Scottie]

So, anybody looking forward to the new album and hopefully a world tour?

[angusvsslash52]

For Sure. :thumb: :D

[_HiGhVoLtAgE_]

angus has some talent on the guitar, he has some good solos, but thats baisicly all the talent there is

how many people do you know that can sing like bon scott?

[angusvsslash52]

how many people do you know that can sing like bon scott?
OO I sure can :lol: :lol: . hah jsut jokin.

[AB/CD]

cant wait for new album they must have 5 years worth of material and its rumoured to be a double disk :D

[maddog87]

how many people do you know that can sing like bon scott?
malcoms a talented little dude too ya know.probably more than angus.

[Forest_Fire]

Hell. Even I'll go to the tour if they come around these ways.


/is hoping they do

[metallica fan]

how many people do you know that can sing like bon scott?
i really hate the vocals but i like the guitar

[rippa32]

cant wait for new album they must have 5 years worth of material and its rumoured to be a double disk :D

Double disk? Might be their last then.

[AB/CD]

well actually its not really going to be well it might but Brian said in an interview "the boys have so much material it could be a double disk" he then got told off incase fans figre hey its going to be a double disk so it might not and it will only be the last if it doesnt do too good

[Bon_Scottie]

They did say that they didn't want it to be just another album. Brian claimed that Malcolm and Angus are perfectionists, and have been in the studio constantly trying to perfect the new tunes.

As you said, Brian says that the boys have lots of material. Hopefully this means that AC/DC are back with the hard rocking riffs we've been used to. I doubt it'll be a double disk, but if everything is going as good as they claim it is, then you never know...

[DemonicRubberDucky]

All of their songs sound exactly the same to me.

Does the song "Big Balls" sound exactly like their song "You Shook me All Night Long"?

Do they? Huh?

[AB/CD]

has it ever occured to u that nobody cares and if u ignore twats like that they will **** off we have established that every song aperantly sounds the same and yes there r similarities but they r not exactly the same

[GOme]

Do ya'll think AC/DC well be going on tour again?

[LocoDiablo]

Do ya'll think AC/DC well be going on tour again?
Hopefully

[rippa32]

If there is a new album they will do a world tour.

[AB/CD]

they always do a world tour after an album release and there is a new album on the way

[shadow_stalker]

Hopefully they will play newcastle so i can go see them.

[rippa32]

I am lucky living in Australia. Although I never seem to get many good bands come here. Iron Maiden comes to mind.

[Bon_Scottie]

Maiden are coming here soon. Hope to go see 'em, I know my dad would love to.

Going to see Motorhead in November too. Can't wait for that, 30th anniversary tour, so it will be a big show.

Like I said before, hope AC/DC they come round this way once they've produced the album.

[rippa32]

Where do you live Bon_Scottie?

[maddog87]

they have came to charllotte once. i wasnt even born though:(

[AB/CD]

ha came to Belfast good few times should be here if they do a world tour

[maddog87]

They aren't bad...just not as good as bands they are rated over.

I've heard them on the Donnington DVD. They're pretty amazing.

[blue3]

Yeah, I've seen the Donnington DVD too.. the sound is great

[rippa32]

I wouldnt mind being able to see that live video of bon. No I do not mean Family Jewels.

[AB/CD]

u mean let there be rock right class videomy dad got it when it first came out and gave me it :D

[rippa32]

Would you say better than the footage on Family Jewels?

[AB/CD]

yeah its good like on rocker when Angus goes into the audience on the gaurds shoulders an all its just a great show cos of the energy Angus had back then he could run about a lot more then than he can now

[Bon_Scottie]

Hell yeah. It's sad that the band have to age...

That being said, in all fairness he still tries and suceeds.

Where do you live Bon_Scottie?
Cardiff, Wales.

[El_Pistolero]

Family Jewels Has some really great footage (i.e. It's a long way to the top)
and AC/DC is definitely one of the most influential rock bands of all time

[acdcroker]

Who is your guy's favorite drummer phill rudd, simon wright, or chris slade? Mine is chris slade even though he wasnt with them very long.

[punkster998]

Phil Rudd can hit the drums pretty ****ing hard if you ask me.

[Bon_Scottie]

The drumming department when it comes to AC/DC never really needed much effort, but my favourite was probably Simon Wright, just because he also played with Dio.

Phil Rudd fits in with the bands main line up though. Simon Wright I suspect as a drummer always wanted to play those quick tempo hard rock beats, as he did with Dio.

[AB/CD]

chris slade was just a session player always has been same with simon wright AC/DC couldnt get permanent drummer for the band

[Alex1422]

Ac Dc are the best ****in' band ever!!!

[Alex1422]

chris slade was just a session player always has been same with simon wright AC/DC couldnt get permanent drummer for the band
Chris Slade is better than any other Ac Dc drummer. just listen to Thunderstruck. Yes, he is better than Phil Rudd

[RNR]

AC/DC doesn't have very good drumming in general. But nobody listens to the drums on an Ac/dc song anyways ;)

[AB/CD]

chris slade is just a normal drummer in all honesty he cant be that much better than phil rudd is phil can play the exact same things and the drums on thunderstruck r more basic than the majority of things phil can play and chris is still only a session player he played for tom jones **** sake

[Ulysses]

Drum virtuosity is not all that relevant when considering AC/DC's sound. But I do prefer Rudd to Slade but its nothing to do with skill, the bald head just doesn't do it for me.

[rippa32]

chris slade was just a session player always has been same with simon wright AC/DC couldnt get permanent drummer for the band

I wouldnt call them session drummers. Simon was with them for a while. And as for Slade, he would have been there a while if they hadn't decided to meet up with Phil again.

[Ulysses]

Simon Wright ended up joining Dio because he always had an infatuation with them according to Malcolm. Slade, I don't know what happened to him..back to session drumming i suppose.

[horseypie]

sure....phil rudd is the biggest bogan in the band

i love him

[Bon_Scottie]

Chris Slade is better than any other Ac Dc drummer. just listen to Thunderstruck. Yes, he is better than Phil Rudd

I take it you've never heard any Dio tracks then...

The early songs are only for Bon and the later songs created by Ac/Dc would only sound good with Brian, they sound totally different.

[acdcroker]

The early songs are only for Bon and the later songs created by Ac/Dc would only sound good with Brian, they sound totally different.

I think some live stuff done by brian is pretty good that was originally done by bon like jailbreak on live i think is awesome. But I don't think bon could sing any songs that were written in the brian era.

Dude Bon Scott is Alwayz ur best bet but in our band ill prolly be singin like Brian so it all depends but go Bon

[rippa32]

Please spell properly.

[Brewer14]

I think Bon was a better songwriter. Songs like "Overdose" and "Ride On"; I haven't heard anything like those since Brian came around (if there are songs like that, I'd appreciate it if someone could point them out since I've obviously missed them). Not that I dont like the guy, hes great, but I'd take Bon over him.

bon didnt write. ang & mal did.

[Brewer14]

bon didnt write. ang & mal did.

I'm pretty sure Bon also wrote, I just checked the High Voltage and LTBR booklets to make sure.

[maddog87]

it may be credited ,but i dont think so. he might have helped though.

[rippa32]

The reason that the credit to bon is there is because he wrote ALL the lyrics.

[Ulysses]

Does everone hear like bon scott over Brian?

yes.

[Marty]

yeah Bon wrote almost all the lyrics for AC/DC back in the day, i think the only album that Brian actually wrote entirely was Blow Up Your Video, correct me if I'm wrong though.

[Brewer14]

The reason that the credit to bon is there is because he wrote ALL the lyrics.

Thought so. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Six Foot Revolver]

So I got Powerage today and it has taken If you want blood...'s place as my favourite AC/DC album :thumb:

[Bucky]

yeah Bon wrote almost all the lyrics for AC/DC back in the day, i think the only album that Brian actually wrote entirely was Blow Up Your Video, correct me if I'm wrong though.

I think Brian has written a few albums. I was pretty confident that he wrote Back In Black. I'm not positive but that's what I thought.

[rippa32]

Yes he wrote from Back in Black to Flick of the Switch (or Fly on the Wall, I cant remember) everything after that he hasnt, he is for the new one though.

[Dingus]

back in black is pretty good.. and very sentimental..first song i learned.

[Bon_Scottie]

Info

Anybody here like Rhino Bucket? They make rocking tracks and sound similiar to AC/DC. Another forum member posted a link to this movie trailored site, but in the background it has Rhino Buckets new tune. It's actually really good, take a listen;

http://www.bloodsweatandbeersmovie.com/

Also, anybody fancy coming down to Wales for an AC/DC Convention? I'll be sure going. I've entered to win two VIP tickets. It's gonna' be a 'ball'! Tribute bands, shows, beer, weekend...

Check it out here;

[heavymetalrules4eva]

Does everone hear like bon scott over Brian?

no bon kicked more ***! they start to fade after brian joined (even if back in black in black sold more copies than highway to hell bon kicked more ***)

[AB/CD]

majority of people r saying Bons great cos he sang highway to hell and he originally song personally i like Bon and Brian but i do think Brian cant sing Bons songs cos he cant hit the high parts as well Brian has written on every album from back in black to stiff upper lip i mean like looks at it this way every song which has 2 meanings from back in black onwards is 1 of Brians e.g. let me put my love into you, given the dog a bone, sink the pink, hard as a rock

[c0nfusedGUiTARiST]

AC/DC, good band...

[punkster998]

I'm currently listening to the Back In Black album. Good stuff.

[punkster998]

Does everone hear like bon scott over Brian?



Of course. Because they were better when he was in the band.

[angus-young]

Does everone hear like bon scott over Brian?

hell yeh bon is a legend

[Ulysses]

So when exactly is this proposed new album hitting the shelves? I have heard a few rumours about the dates and names and so forth.

[ArcLite]

Well, as you said, most is based on rumors, but the most recent I've been hearing is early 06, like Februaryish. But I've also heard fall dates as well. I'm not really listening to any of it, just gonna wait for when the official release date is given.

[Ulysses]

Fair enough, I'm eager to see them tour as I haven't seem them perform live before. I'm hoping they will be out next year sometime, grab my mates, have a few drinks and watch some rock and roll.

[horseypie]

bloody oath man lets go aussie lets go

lol i feel like a tool

[rippa32]

Im expecting the album to come out next year. I hope its a double album.

[AngusYoung413]

well Brian said they were working on a heck of a lot of songs so a double album could be possible

[AB/CD]

brian said that as a joke the day after he mentioned a double album he got a call from sony saying dont be saying it ocudl be a double album becos fans will get the wrong idea and will think its going to be a double album

[rippa32]

Yeah, but wouldnt it be good if it was?

[Ulysses]

Indeed it would be, double the beer guzzling blues riffing to really put a ring in the ears and the liver to good use. It would depend on the quality of the album, a double-album of average songs isn't that enjoyable.

[rippa32]

Well from the hype were hearing from Brian it looks to be really good.

[AB/CD]

yeah but its bound to be good i mean like come on 5 years in the making

[rippa32]

I wonder if it will save thier career like The Razors Edge did.

[horseypie]

sure.....a double album of acdc would be boring after the first cd......i loves them and all but watching family jewels today (mad dvd) i just got sick 3/4 way throught the first cd
it gets too repetitive

[joe the toe 9 0]

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


this is a load of **** they might be catchy but the class azwell this is y theve been round for so long

[rippa32]

That was the first post. This thread is now about AC/DC not some guy who doesnt seem to like them.

[AB/CD]

nobody said its actually going to be a double disk like i said brian johnson was messing about when he said it could be

[PainKiller8191]

ac/dc is great as a blues/rock n roll band
angus young is one of the most over rated guitar players ive heard/seen...yeah hes good and he puts on a good show but hes not THAT great...

[AB/CD]

no1 cares mate no1 cares u just wasted about a minute of yoiur life typing that up

he is right.

[angusvsslash52]

How bout the family jewels dvds. I've been thinkin about buying it but am not to sure if it would be worth the money. i'd like some feedback on this dvd collection.

[AB/CD]

DVDs great i think so anyway and id seen majority of them videos before. disk 1 bon scott disk 2 brian johnson.

the bon scott 1 consists really of live shows like a live clip of high voltage dirty deeds fling thing/rocker all really good tho cos Bon Scott was amazing live. but the promo videos like jailbreak are really good to watch cos they are cheap but good.

disk 2 brian johnson all promo videos apart from like 2. 1 part is pretty much half the whole fly on the wall album cos it was a home video this dsik i prefer watching cos it is more interesting becos the videos have had more money spent on them and they are bright however if any1 can explain to me how a rocket goes through a tv and the tv is perfect in the song heatseeker i owuldnt mind knowing that.

[rippa32]

I was going to get it but thought it wasn't worth it. Id rather hunt down let there be rock first and Bonfire Boxset second beforehand.

[AB/CD]

best bet for let there be rock ebay bonfire is allright like nothin special tho

[rippa32]

Yeah I mainly want it for the live recordings, and the cover for my copy of Back in Black has been through a lot so its good having that album in the box set as well.

[Ulysses]

I wonder if it will save thier career like The Razors Edge did.

I hope so, It would be good to see them raise the bar on Stiff Upper Lip, even though that album is alright I believe it lacks a rock n roll anthem, Stiff Upper Lip is the closest but isn't really overly great compared to some of their other material.

[maddog87]

on "let there be rock"(family jewels), when bon jumps off stage before the big solo, you see him fall. he actually broke his leg when he landed.they sent him to the hospital with a bottle of jack daniels. ha, thats bon for you........

[rippa32]

Yeah I heard that too. He cant leave his drink can he lol

[angusvsslash52]

It sure would have helped with the pain if he drank enough of it, haha, they were thinkin of his well being.

[AB/CD]

i heard he just grabbed the bottle as he went past doubt they would give him it like

[Bon_Scottie]

the bon scott 1 consists really of live shows like a live clip of high voltage dirty deeds fling thing/rocker all really good tho cos Bon Scott was amazing live. but the promo videos like jailbreak are really good to watch cos they are cheap but good.

Fling Thing/Rocker is probably my favourite of them all. It's awesome.

Bon Scott was great live.

[MrHigh]

AC/DC is alright in the studio. However, they are amazing in concert. They have one of the best shows I have ever seen. But it does get repetitive.

ya like that isa so true i think angus is very entertaining

[the don]

They were like one of the first good rock and roll bands...they have simple things, so its easy for fans to learn their lyrics and play their music, and they just have that "legand" status for being one of the first good rock bands.

[rippa32]

Yes we know.

[AB/CD]

who wants to count how many times AC/DC have been called overrated and other stuff?

[angusvsslash52]

who wants to count how many times AC/DC have been called overrated and other stuff?
Not me cause i don't care, they're an awesome band and obviously someone else thinks that, if they are so highly thought of.

[AB/CD]

was sarcasm trying to point out its been said too many times

[rippa32]

I was thinking of getting a new AC/DC album next time i get the chance. Flick of the Switch or Powerage?

[AB/CD]

powerage is better flick of the switch has some good songs but powerage u can listen to whole way through its got some great songs like rock n roll ****ation gimme a bullet and sin city

[rippa32]

Ok but as Brian albums go is flick of the switch good?

[AB/CD]

yeah its good better then fly on the wall anyway

[acdcroker]

yeah its good better then fly on the wall anyway

I never really liked Fly On The Wall I only like a couple songs on it not a very good cd but Flick Of The Switch rocks.

[RNR]

Brain albums suck exept for Back in Black. Don't waste your money on any of them.

Bon Scott is where it's at.

here mate see when u can respect brians albums for what they are instead of Bons albums post here because I think youll find brians ad some of the best songs like for those about to rock heatseeker thats the way i wanna rock n roll snake eyes stiff upper lip satellite blues hail ceaser right if u cant respect both Brian and Bon i say u no **** all about Ac/DC

[maddog87]

Fling Thing/Rocker is probably my favourite of them all. It's awesome.

Bon Scott was great live.
they made them wear the soccer uniforms. they didnt want to do it in the first place. any way, that clip is the best one on there. when he goes onto the balcony, the security in front wouldnt let him back in b/c he thought he was an imposter. haha, the the security w/ angus punched him in the face and angus, being so small, ducked between them and went on playing.

[RNR]

here mate see when u can respect brians albums for what they are instead of Bons albums post here because I think youll find brians ad some of the best songs like for those about to rock heatseeker thats the way i wanna rock n roll snake eyes stiff upper lip satellite blues hail ceaser right if u cant respect both Brian and Bon i say u no **** all about Ac/DC

I know quite a bit about AC/DC. Brain Johnson is just much worse than Bon Scott and I prefer to listen to Bon's music.

[SmashingPumpkin]

I think AC/DC is highly over-rated by the people at my school. Everyone likes them because they are what's "in." Angus is a great guitarist, but very over-rated. I didn't get the hype when I first listened to them, and I still don't get it.

[maiden_maniac]

Tony Hawk 4 kids? What the hell?

back on topic...

Ac/dc's songs sound all the same. Same chord intro. Same drum beat. Screeching vocals enter. 1 verse, chorus another verse solo chorus end of song.

But they still sound good. Damn good.
highway 2 hell wasin tony hawk 4 dumbass

so ur sayin thunderstruck is the same as jailbreak 74'

Get Powerage man, it's definitely one of their better albums.

Standout tracks like - Rock n' Roll ****ation, Gone Shootin', Riff Raff, Whats next to the Moon. The list goes on

[acdcroker]

If any of you guys wanna hear Malcolm play lead watch Show Business on Famliy Jewels. Its rockin Malcolm and Angus both play solo's.

malcolm plays the solo on can i sit next to you girl aswell

[Passion Grace & Fire]

They are going to have a new album out by the end of this year

[rippa32]

or maybe start of next year, but there will be a world tour after the album, there always is.

[angusvsslash52]

there better be a tour sometime, haha, i really want to see them, they've been close to my home town but i've been to young to go see them :upset:

[AB/CD]

ANGUS YOUNG RULES!

its the truth

[Maggot]

highway 2 hell wasin tony hawk 4 dumbass

it was TNT

[davser]

they made them wear the soccer uniforms.

Source on that?

The football strip they were wearing is the Scotland 1978 World Cup one. Considering three of them were from Scotland I doubt that they were forced to wear those.

I'm pretty sure that clip is from the Edinburgh Playhouse.

[rippa32]

Wahoo. Finally someone who likes AC/DC but dont go on about overratedness or underatedness.

[antisinglecoil]

They put a great beat on everything, and for the simplicity that they work with, I think they're an awesome band. But no, none of the musicians are virtuosos or anything close to it, and I do think Angus is overrated as a guitarist, but he's certainly not overated as a song writer.

[Marty]

hehe yeah im so sick of people coming in here and making one post, completely irrelevant of the discussion and telling us the same ****. If you don't like AC/DC don't post retards :rolleyes:

[Marty]

i don't understand how people can not like them. they're bloody awesome

Couldn't have said it better myself

[angusvsslash52]

i don't understand how people can not like them. they're bloody awesome
umm, maybe they have different music preferences.

[Marty]

umm, maybe they have different music preferences.

yeah but still it's ridiculous that people still don't respect them after all they've done for rock n' roll

[AB/CD]

wll that little streak is over of 1 person not mentioning how great they are then u 2 decide hey AC/DC are great how can people not like them

[Marty]

wll that little streak is over of 1 person not mentioning how great they are then u 2 decide hey AC/DC are great how can people not like them

i never said that, I just think that AC/DC deserve respect for what they've done, and that is just my opinion, douche :rolleyes:

[AB/CD]

well ill tell u what mate u read every single page here and u will see something similair has been said on every single page at least once

[angusvsslash52]

yeah but still it's ridiculous that people still don't respect them after all they've done for rock n' roll
Get over it, i like ac/dc but you're getting annoying.

strait from thir mouth in an interveiw. and it was the apollo theater

[David Bowie]

I agree,
I use to love them when I was younger but latley I have grown tired of them.

[fishindisguise]

whats wrong with simple songs guys? does everything always have to be mega-complicated?

[Grinners]

theres nothin wrong with simple songs. Ac/dc may be simple but the sound bloody awesome

[Marty]

Get over it, i like ac/dc but you're getting annoying.

heh whatever noob

[Marty]

well ill tell u what mate u read every single page here and u will see something similair has been said on every single page at least once

yeah you're right I guess, and you are one of the better posters in this thread so i shouldn't have taken anything out on you

[Magicaltroll]

i don't understand how people can not like them. they're bloody awesome
Well. I like them, but then again I dislike them.
I dislike them because they sound reptitive. But I like them because they just have some badass songs. Like Thunderstuck, Back In Black, Money Talks (or soething like that) ect.

I don't know that much about them, but they are pretty decent. I really like their live DVD.

whats wrong with simple songs guys? does everything always have to be mega-complicated?
Nothing HAS to be that way with me. I just really like the more complicated stuff. But every once in awhile I like the simpler stuff.

Which interview?

[rippa32]

Ive been listening to a lot of Johnson era lately. Has anyone noticed that the solos got simpler and shorter when Brian joined?

[Marty]

Ive been listening to a lot of Johnson era lately. Has anyone noticed that the solos got simpler and shorter when Brian joined?

yeah that started pretty much after the highway to hell album, i think it was because angus wasn't improvising over the tracks as much

[maddog87]

Which interview?
one they did with vh1 on family jewels. you can find it on vh1's website

[Bon_Scottie]

Ive been listening to a lot of Johnson era lately. Has anyone noticed that the solos got simpler and shorter when Brian joined?

For the worse, I'd say.

AB/DC, maybe you should take a break from this thread?

Favourite AC/DC tune at the moment; Shake a leg.

[Marty]

For the worse, I'd say.

AB/DC, maybe you should take a break from this thread?

Favourite AC/DC tune at the moment; Shake a leg.

that said, i reckon shake a leg has a great solo

[AB/CD]

shouldnt take a break just all thats ever posted form people is AC/DC are overrated then some1 says they arent then i say shut up and yeah i shoudl actually very repetitive.

the solos in brians era got shorter cos they band werent getting enough time to make the albums Angus said in an interview before "just as we had gotten to like the 5th song some1 would come in and say we have a world tour in 2 months"

[Brewer14]

The songs also seemed to get simpler when Brian joined. Oh well, they still kicked *** :thumb:

[rippa32]

I noticed on Donington that the Whole Lotta Rosie solo was slower too.
Oh btw I finally got Powerage today. Best album ever.

[Marty]

hehe, what did i tell ya...gone shootin' has got one bitchin guitar riff

[rippa32]

Dam straight. My favourite is Riff Raff though.

[Marty]

Dam straight. My favourite is Riff Raff though.

hell yeah riff raff is sick

[rippa32]

Also I cant get the chorus to Rock 'n' Roll ****ation outta my head.

[Marty]

Also I cant get the chorus to Rock 'n' Roll ****ation outta my head.

haha yeah man, thats such a rockin' song

[AB/CD]

riff raff is amazing on the let there be rock video best opener weell far as i remember they opened with it havnt looks at that video in ****ing ages dont wanna damage it

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Stiff Upper Lip Live is one of the coolest things the 'DC have ever put out. The solo for Let There Be Rock is amazing.

[rippa32]

I have only heard the title track to STUL which iis really good imo. Let there be rock is basically one big glorified solo. Which isnt a bad thing at all. Bloody awesome.

[AB/CD]

well stiff upper lip live is good in terms of sound quality and some of the songs but let there be rock live in paris 1979 i think it was now that concert is far better the whole band has more energy Bon is singing even tho he was pished Angus just didnt stop running Malcolm Cliff and Phil were all playing solid whole way through it and they proved that they do not need a big inflatable rosie or a bell or cannons to show they were a great act they showed that if u give tham a stage and an audience they iwll put on the best show they can and that they did do on that night

(dont complain that i didnt use punctuation in that i never will so get used to that)

[rippa32]

Where did you find the Let There Be Rock video? Is it still sold?

[Maggot]

Where did you find the Let There Be Rock video? Is it still sold?

its on the family jules dvd

[AB/CD]

not the video for let there be rock the actual live video let there be rock.

i dont think its sold anymor just so happens my dad got it when it was released and gave it to me :D

[rippa32]

Ok. My friends dad used to have it but they lost it.

[bluefire]

ive got stiff upper lip live but in my opinion no bull is way better, they go to more trouble with effects ( wrecking balls, rising platforms etc.) and they just put on a better show.

[davser]

one they did with vh1 on family jewels. you can find it on vh1's website

Coolio! Cheers.

[rippa32]

ive got stiff upper lip live but in my opinion no bull is way better, they go to more trouble with effects ( wrecking balls, rising platforms etc.) and they just put on a better show.

Yeah although I noticed that alot if the songs are from the Ballbreaker album. Ill get that first.

[Marty]

thats a good thing, Ballbreaker kicks *** :thumb:

[rippa32]

Im sure it does, Ive heard bits if hail caeser which was really good. Possibly next AC/DC purchase after I complete the bon-era collection.

[davser]

one they did with vh1 on family jewels. you can find it on vh1's website

Care to post a link. Checked that site and didn't find anything to back you up.

Not doubting you, that much, but a link would clarify.

[Marty]

yeah i recommend it, it's one of my favourite albums :thumb:

[AB/CD]

them vh1 interviews are on the AC/DC site as far as i no the link to it is AC/DC site (http://www.acdcrocks.com)

[rippa32]

Do people regurlarly go to that site? I prefer the fan sites myself.

[Bucky]

That is their official site, so I would assume that it is widely used.

I don't own SUL but the show on No Bull I didn't really like, the sound quality was not that good, you could barely hear Brian over the guitar, bass and drums. If your looking for the best AC/DC DVD then I would go with Live at Donnington, that is a ****in amazing DVD. That and I didn't really like the SUL setlist.

[ledhed1]

Ya Angus has the most talent in the band by far.
Their stuff is very catchy, especially the riff to thunderstruck its sweet.
But theyre definitely not my favorite band.
I cant listen to them for long periods of time like i can Hendrix or Zeppelin.

[rippa32]

Yeah thunderstruck is a great song.

[ArcLite]

Just read that they will be recording the new album in the UK and have a tentative release date of late '05 to early '06. Not sure if this is new news or not. I'm quite pumped for it though, as I'm sure everyone else in here is. Sounds like they're really putting a lot of work into it and trying to improve with this record.

yeh should be bloody good. apparently they have a name for the album "Strap it on" i think there goin to call it or so i have heard. Ive also heard that they have enough material for two albums but want to make it into one fukin awesome album, so they are taken their time to make it really good.

[rippa32]

Everyone thought it was Strap It On for a while. That was later disregarded as false. But yeah should be good. I reckon itll do for em what Razors Edge did.

[ArcLite]

I reckon itll do for em what Razors Edge did.

I'd like to believe you, but I can't help thinking this will be their last album and they will just tour on it until they're heading to hang it up for good. Just my own speculation though.

[SpongeB0b]

They habe catchy riffs and some good songs though IMO they are overrated but they are still good! and Angus is so fun to watch! :)

[bluefire]

i have live at donnington as well, i think that there all good shows. my favourite is no bull tho

[rippa32]

I'd like to believe you, but I can't help thinking this will be their last album and they will just tour on it until they're heading to hang it up for good. Just my own speculation though.

Yeah I wouldnt be surprised. At least theyll go out on a very good note.

[Ulysses]

Everyone thought it was Strap It On for a while. That was later disregarded as false. But yeah should be good. I reckon itll do for em what Razors Edge did.

I sure hope so, and it would be a sensational way to go out if they did decide to end their careers after this upcoming album.

[rippa32]

I have a feeling they will just due to pure age. It probably wont be official though. Theyll just stop making albums.

[maddog87]

thats pretty sad.no more new tunes after this one............................................... ..........................................



(puts bullet in gun and raises to head)

[evan6the9punk]

AC/DC i think are gods. Great riffs that are simple and they have a kick *** image and sound.

[rippa32]

thats pretty sad.no more new tunes after this one............................................... ..........................................



(puts bullet in gun and raises to head)

Its not all bad. this one will raise the tally of albums to 18. Thats more than most bands.

[maddog87]

still, the gods are calming down...:(

[wookieofdoom]

angus is great I hope the band keeps going as long as it can

[rippa32]

Yer it is a bit sad.

[mmettalldemon]

if they come anywhere in my state on tour my friends mom said she would take me and him to see them.

[Aeaon]

Its not all bad. this one will raise the tally of albums to 18. Thats more than most bands.


Besides, they've put out a lot of music anyway.

[Brain Toad]

Me and my friends have been discussing AC/DC really heavily lately, an awesome band that I can never get tired of. Their simplicity makes them really fun to listen to. And got to love their dirty sense of humour.

[mmettalldemon]

^^that's one one of the things that draws me to listen to them is their dirty sense of humor.

[rippa32]

Yeah thats true. Of course Big Balls gets a bit tiring.

[AB/CD]

only time AC/DC are gonna stop releasing new material and touring is when they feel they "arent cutting the mustard" so that day will probably never come album isnt being called strap it on nor is it going to be a double disk Brian Johnson said that as a joke because they had so much material written.

anyway every1s current fave songs at the minute? mine is little lover i think its different compared to what AC/DC normally done its a wee bit cheesy aswell just shows an all round different side to the band.
