Because Angus and Malcolm saw AC/DC (AlternateCurrent/DirrectCurrent) on a Vacum cleaner and thought it was a good name.

[Brewer14]

Ive got another Question (im just tryin to learn alot about AC/DC)What happened to Phil Rudd , the drummer , he was really good.

Hes with the band currently.

[Bon_Scottie]

He left the band after the death of Bon Scott (the lead singer at the time), and I think he went off and invested in an airline or something? Well, the band later on decided that they wanted the old passion of AC/DC back, and replaced Chris slade with Phil Rudd again, seens as he accepted.

[angusmaster]

Well , I always thought Phil was the best , so im glad hes back (i knew he was back cause i saw some footage of them doin thunderstruck in 2003)thanks for the info

[brettberry]

Phil is the bald one isnt he? :evil:

[angusmaster]

Phil is the bald one isnt he? :evil:
No , Chris is the bald one , Phil was the first drummer and had kinda short brown hair.Just get the family jewels DVD and youll see , In my opinion , its a good dvd.

[musicaddict]

AC/DC RULE!!! I love all there work and their song never get old....Angus has great skill in switching chords and his solos are very sick as we'll. I personally like them better than Metallica. Old skool rock with minor pentatonics long live this band! :D

No, Phil Rudd left the band after the Flick Of The Switch album and was replaced by Simon Wright, He was with the band for Fly On The Wall, Flow Up Your Video, and Who Made Who. Simon was replaced by Chris Slade on The Razors Edge, then Chris was replaced by Phil Rudd who is currently with the band.

[Bon_Scottie]

Fair do's.

You hear so many versions of events that you forget which ones which.

Simon wright always wanted to be that powerful drummer he was in Dio. I doubt he enjoyed playing simple 4/4 beats with the band.

[jgravance]

bon scott could sing like no other. i think the pre brian johnson albums are at least 5x better than those with johnson. bons personality just fit the band better, and i think the songwriting was a lot more creative (the high voltage version of the jack is awesome). but angus is a pretty amazing guitarist and puts on a pretty **** cool show at concerts. i think ac/dc is still an amazing band, but was much better pre 1980.

[angusmaster]

I have the ACDC live dvd that you get at wal-mart
That concert was back in 1991 , they got Phil back after that.

[Brewer14]

I dont see why he couldnt play more than simple beats with AC/DC

[Follow The Reaper]

AC/DC would suck with good drumming. Like Led Zeppelin on Dazed and Confused, I love LZ and Bonham, but the drums when they first come in ruin the song.

[Bon_Scottie]

Exactly.

Just wasn't their style...

[rippa32]

Are you saying good drumming wasn't Zeppelins or AC/DC's style?

[Bon_Scottie]

Im saying that complex beats and song long drum solo's wasn't AC/DC's style.

It suited Zeppelin.

[RNR]

Complex drummin WAS Led Zeppelin's style but was NOT Ac/dc's

[Tenacious Z]

AC/DC is pretty good, but since they have ANOTHER album coming out, they should mix things up more. For example, Ride On is one of my favorite songs by them, and it has a completely different tone and feel than the rest of the Dirty Deeds album.

[Brewer14]

Still, it wouldnt hurt Phil to mix it up a little every once and awhile.

[Bon_Scottie]

Aye.

On some of the quicker tracks his work is pretty decent, but nothing special.

[Follow The Reaper]

The drumming wasn't meant to be good, the guitars' supposed to.

[brettberry]

The drumming wasn't meant to be good, the guitars' supposed to.
his point was that Phil was the only one on that album that didnt show much talent.

Well in Phil's defence, he has some pretty good fills.

[brettberry]

That concert was back in 1991 , they got Phil back after that.
yeah, Donnington, the biggest concert in history of Rock and Roll.
What was the guys name that was drumming with them then? I like him but he looked pretty old then. I doubt he could still play with them.

[Follow The Reaper]

His name was Chris Slade, he is currently touring in Asia with the band EarthBand I think.

back on topic...

But they still sound good. Damn good.

hahaha! EarthBand? :lol: how do you go from acdc to EarthBand?

Highly respected rock band=acdc
A joke=EarthBand




Kind of like when Marty Friedman left Megadeth for some Japanese B.S. :upset:

AC/DC Rocks, and always will. Just because Angus Young is overrated does not mean that he isnt one of the best rock guitar players. Its not like he even says he is any good. He always points the finger to his older brother malcolm, who angus claims is better than eddie van halen, and i believe him. Malcolm comes up with most of their stuff.

So lets add this up.

Weve got one slightly overrated guitarist, who is still awesome, and oen way underrated guitarist. Put it together, and they end up on the AWESOME side of things. Not many bands as classic and wicked as AC/DC could keep rockin all the way through the hard times of hair metal, the punk, and still survive with the same, excellent, strong, unapologetic rock and roll that humanity needs to survive.

[leddestofzeppelins]

:thumb: ride on is my favorite ac/dc song. their bluesy songs are really good. and bon was the coolest.


Yeah, i read once that they are basically a blues band with a little rock guitar and some nasty vocals .

Especially The Jack. The solo is awesome and really fun to play

[Brewer14]

AC/DC's bluesy songs are awesome.

[Hells Bells]

To all other who rock, we salute you!

Although they don't have the most complex stuff out there, their music's awesome. it's so positive and fun, the kinda stuff you can party to :D

[guitaraddict21119]

AC/DC are an awesome band and their songs dont sound the same I got 6 albums and the most common thing that sounds the same is the singing which is one of the major reasons ac/dc rocks they got one of the most original voices out their. Try listening to Money Talks, Thunder Struck, Are You Ready, then listen The Boogie Man, Stiff Upper Lip, Highway To Hell. THose songs dont sound the same do they?

People complain about bands that go bad but AC/DC and Iron Maiden are two bands that havent done that. (and IMO Metallica but thats not who were talking about). AC/DC have stuck to their formula which is kick ***! And Angus is a great soloist and performer! I've only seen videos but with their upcoming new cd "Strap It On" Which if its anything like any of their other cd's it will rock! I hope they come to canada.

dude you are awesome and absolutely right about everything. exept strap it on was only a rumor. :D

ok i need help i can play thunderstruck using the pick but when i try to play it with one hand it sounds weird can anyone help me

[Follow The Reaper]

Try doing hammer-ons and pull-offs on each note, those substitute the open strings.

And to Guitaraddict, I apologize for my rudeness.

[nick203k]

i read how to do hammer-ons and pull offs but it is sopposed to be used when ur picking can u tell me how to do it

[Follow The Reaper]

It's kinda hard to explain, but here it goes.

The first note is on the 4th fret on the B string. With your first finger hit the fret like if you were going to pick it, but don't use your pick. Then realease that finger from the string, creating a tone that he uses. Then do the same with your fourth finger the same way, only on the 7th fret on the B string. Reapeat that as many times as necessary, then do it on the 5th and 8th frets on the same string. And reapeat that technique throughout the intro and the main riff (I think that it is doubled throughout most of the song). But after those riffs when you get to the chords, just use your pick for that.

Hope that helps, if you still have questions AIM me at FollowRpr instead of clogging the forums with questions. :thumb:

[nick203k]

yea im sry for the question but i dont have aim but i do have msn messenger nick203k@hotmail.com

i just got throught tryin to do exactly what u said but it does not sound right i am using one hand only (top) and hitting the 4th string with my first finger and 7th with my forth finger just like if im using a pick.

[Follow The Reaper]

Well, umm. Kinda hit your finger onto the strings, not hard, but not light, harder enough so that it makes a sound, and lightly enough so that you don't hurt your finger. You should get AIM, its free, here's a link. www.aim.com you can download it their.

[rippa32]

Those are great descriptions but Angus picks. He does not do it with one hand, and it is with more than one string.

[Bon_Scottie]

Playing it with one hand is piss easy.

How come when Angus is preforming it live, he holds one hand in the air and salutes the crowd then? Surely this means he can't pick the strings...

[rippa32]

Notice how he does not do that during thunderstruck but in the Dirty Deeds solo.

[Follow The Reaper]

Bon Scottie, I don't think he had started playing the song yet, but I'll watch Donnington and clarify that.

[woundedmonkey]

Very simple, but still pretty good. They used to be my favorite band, but then they got repetetive. I can still listen to them, but not for too long. But they have good, catchy songs. I wish they had better bass parts, though.

I agree

i agree, i think you do have to use two hands

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I pick it. For me it sounds **** when I don't pick it.

He means it's played like that if you're only using one hand, but when he picks it (which he usually does) he only uses one string, and people have you thinking that he does hammers and pull offs, but he doesn't.

I cant find one anywhere but if you look real close on the DVD you can see he's playing the B string as well it gives a much fuller sound than just one string.

[rippa32]

Brian Johnson is good, and I am not a fanboy. Just because Bon is better doesnt mean Johnson should be ruled out.

[Bon_Scottie]

Johnson has a lot of good tunes, whether vocals are good or not. I like some of the under rated work, such as Playing with Girls, and Shake your foundations.

Right, here's question... who do you think would fit the role of AC/DC vocals?

I personally think the guy from Aerosmith would suit the band. Not as in charactor, but I think the voice would go well. If Angus and Malcolm wrote the lyrics, that is. None of that pink finger licking ****e.

[rippa32]

I reckon its great the way it is. No one could could replace Bon and Brian didn't try to, but then again no-one could replace Johnson either.

[Follow The Reaper]

I think it would be interesting if Brian didn't sing on an album, and the rest of AC/DC did an instrumental.

[Bon_Scottie]

On Friday, we've got two AC/DC tribute bands in the live arena.

One of them is well known, Live wire.

Looking forward to it. Nine quid a ticket.

[Follow The Reaper]

I can't swtand Live Wire, they suck ***.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

i dont like live wire either.

[Follow The Reaper]

I mainly don't like the guy who is supposed to be Malcolm, he is the biggest ******* ever.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

off topic but how old is angus? isnt he like 83, 84? i had heard at several of his last shows his great grandkids were there.

[Follow The Reaper]

He's like 50.

[Follow The Reaper]

/Bump

[Brewer14]

Finally, someone agrees with me, when I said it before people like Rippa32 and Brewster14 got pissed at me.

I didnt get pissed..

Oh yeah, I ran out of rare songs ><

[rippa32]

Angus is 50, for the idiot who said 83, 84.

[high_voltage_guitar]

does any1 kno when the new ac/dc album is scheduled 2 be released in the uk i heard rumours of it bein b4 christmas and does any1 kno if they will tour the uk in the next year?

[Follow The Reaper]

Go to the official AC/DC site, then go to message board, then to the first or second thread. And don't type in red font, it's almost impossible to read.

hehe, if he was 83 he wouldn't be playing rock and roll right now.

[classicrockman]

hehe, if he was 83 he wouldn't be playing rock and roll right now.
Or maybe he would!! I know like Clapton and the Stones and those guys are in their 60's. And BB King (who's on tour) is 79!!! :amaze:

But all of those guy's music has become less heavy.

[Brewer14]

hehe, if he was 83 he wouldn't be playing rock and roll right now.

Ah, knowing Angus, he still would be.

[BassMasta2487]

Angus has said in interviews that he actually had no idea about the names of chords until Malcolm would tell him what they were. But I don't think there's ever been any question about him being a better guitar player.

[rippa32]

What just because he plays lead? I would like to hear how well Malcolm plays lead before judging them both.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

i never said angus was 83 i said i read an article in guitar world called "fact or myth" and it said most people think angus is around 50 but in fact thats how old the schoolboy outfit he wears is. it said angus was 83 but i didnt believe that, that's why i asked yall. so i know angus isnt 83.

[Follow The Reaper]

I think that they are both equal guitar players, or maybe even Malcolm better then Angus. Angus even admits that.

What just because he plays lead? I would like to hear how well Malcolm plays lead before judging them both.
Angus has said many times that Malcolm has played lead in the studio, and Angus has had to play what Malcolm did, and Angus has said that Malcolm can do them on first tries, when it takes him all day sometimes.

[rippa32]

I havn't heard about the second comment but I suppose that's why Angus says Malcolm is better.

[BassMasta2487]

Well, the story goes that Malcolm was going to play lead, but he told Angus to do it because playin lead would interfere with his drinking. And considering that he taught Angus guitar...

[ledzeprock]

All of their songs sound exactly the same to me.
amen

[Follow The Reaper]

Malcolm didn't teach Angus, both Malcolm and Angus learned b themselves and with some help from their older brother George. And while that first statement you made is true, I wasn't saying that, I was saying that in the studio when Angus couldn't get a lead to wok out that Malcolm played it and Malcolm usually nailed it first try, so then Angus would have to try to top him, or atleast do as good as him. :thumb:

[maddog87]

heres a little trivia....
does any one know what angus's first instrument was? (besides his hofner as a kid)

[RNR]

bagpipes? Or was that Bon?

[maddog87]

bon played bagpipes. heres a hint**he modified it to become something it wasnt**

[Follow The Reaper]

Wasn't it a ten doller acoustic that his mom got for him, and another for Malcolm?

[maddog87]

nope. good guess though

[Follow The Reaper]

It was a Banjo he made into a guitar wasn't it.

[maddog87]

:chug: yep.

another one...where was angus's first gig at?

edit*** not acdc, but just angus

[Bon_Scottie]

And BB King (who's on tour) is 79!!! :amaze:

But all of those guy's music has become less heavy.

AC/DC in their seventies performing, now that would be a laugh.

BB King sits in a chair on stage these days.

I doubt Angus could contain himself to sitting in a chair... he'll still manage to hit off a few duck walks... and a few hips.

[drum4weezer36]

Was it at Victoria Park in Sydney?

[Follow The Reaper]

:chug: yep.

Didn't he play School dances when he was first starting out in '71 with his first band Tantrum?

[BassMasta2487]

I meant he taught him in the sense that he told him the names of chords, and usually was the first to play his parts before he ever did in the studio. I knew he didn't litterally teach Angus to play.

[maddog87]

it was at a church.his freind was talking to a music director and he said they needed a guitarist, so his freind recommended him. when angus started playing, it was way too loud and they didnt enjoy his distorted tone, so they told him to"turn that d*mn thing down"

[maddog87]

he was using a small amp that he bought for 60 bucks(or somewhere in that price range) and it would turn the tubes blue after a while. not sure of the brand though.

does anybody else have any trivia ?'s???

[TheDanRathersProject]

I like AC/DC, except for any album after Back in Black.....

[BassMasta2487]

Oh...I got a trivia question.

What was the first band that Cliff Williams recorded with? (somebody will get this, I'm sure. It's not terribly difficult)

[Follow The Reaper]

I'm pretty sure it was Home.

[ExplorerStudioYellow]

this isn't exactly going along with the trivia but insn't malcom the most underated guitarists ever. Slipknot, System of a down, and Nirvana get more recognition for having good guitarists and all they do is play power chords and everything else that takes no skill.

No, a lot of people on here (including myself) think that Malcolm is a far more accomplished guitar player then Angus, and a lot of people also say that Daron Malakian sp?, Jim Root, Mick Thomson, and Curt Kobain are mediocre guitar players.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

i think malcolm and angus are about the same now but malcolm used to be ahead of angus on the guitar imo. i have to agree w/ reaper about the mediocre guitar players also.

[maddog87]

i bet malcom could still open up a can of whupazz when he and angus get in a guitar dual.............

I knew someone would get it. Id've been dissapointed if that one went unanswered, it's pretty easy.

what number appeared on the back of the sg angus used to record the highway to hell record(its grain formed this number)

I don't know.

And I thought I was a big AC/DC fan. :lol:

[maddog87]

it was a 2. he bought it in london while on tour.the owner sold it to him with a good deal b/c noone wanted it because of the strange wood grain

[classicrockman]

Was it a red SG or a black one?

[maddog87]

red(worn cherry)

[BassMasta2487]

I'm pretty sure that 99% of the SG's he ever bought or owned were red. I've seen one picture of him with a white one, and one video where he uses a black one. Other than that...

[rippa32]

He uses black on the Donnington DVD and a red uniform, just a colour swap.

[Ulysses]

Trivia: Who pulled a flick knife on Malcolm whilst on tour with AC/DC in Sweden in the February of 1977?

[rippa32]

Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath. And Mal probably won.

[AB/CD]

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

[wazowsky]

AC/DC are one of my favourite bands. They have an easily identifiable sound, a terrific stage presence, and their songs, while simple, are very well thought out and great to listen to. And musical technicality doesn't equal a great musician. While we all respect Steve Vai, Yngwie, et al, a good musician doesn't have to play fast, complicated music to be recognised as great.

That's it. You stole the same words from my tongue ! :thumb:

[maddog87]

ive got one...

what was bon scott dared to do for ten dollars in 78?he was crazy for doing this!!..

[BassMasta2487]

Jumping out of a hotel room into the pool? I don't remember what floor. I want to say fifth or third.

[AB/CD]

apartment into a pool which lead to Angus threatening the guy who dared him to do this

[rippa32]

Yeah, I read that in Highway to Hell, a biography. What did Bon's old bus driver do for a stereo system?

[metallica=my gods]

I really don't like them.




then why are you on this thread !?

[rippa32]

Tell me when was that quote posted? It looks like an old one to me.

[Follow The Reaper]

That kid sucks at capitolization, punctuation, and english.

[rippa32]

Yeah, and don't say they suck when you have nothing to back it up.

[acdcroker]

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

[maddog87]

ummmmm..






































ya....duh

[angusmaster]

Do you think Angus would still run around and duck walk if he was rhythm and malcolm was lead? Yea , i think thats his personality.

[i like arab girls]

AC/DC is the best band ever...


What do you think the band would be like if Bon Scott was still alive?

[BassMasta2487]

I don't know if they'd still be around were Bon still alive. Bon's death was what prompted Malcolm to go into re-hab for alchohol, and I just think that the band would've eventually broken up if they didn't have Bon's death to think about.

[maddog87]

bons death gave them a reason to go on. it motivated them

[BassMasta2487]

That too. If Bon had stayed around, as sad as it is to admit, the band probably would've just broken up eventually.
