Ac/dc
 
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

Trooper 08-22-2004 02:41 PM

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

Bryan Blakey 08-22-2004 02:43 PM

All of their songs sound exactly the same to me.

SOS420 08-22-2004 02:44 PM

AC/DC is a decent band. Most of their songs sound the same to me. Angus is an over rated guitar player. But they do rock and I must salute them for that. They have put out alot of records and most of them are pretty good.

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond 08-22-2004 02:46 PM

yeah i like them somewhat but i can't listen to them for too long.

black_sabbath634 08-22-2004 03:13 PM

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

Tommy-r 08-22-2004 03:21 PM

I like the one handed intro to thunderstruck

cliffburtonrules 08-22-2004 04:29 PM

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

SGdudeSG 08-22-2004 04:39 PM

ac/dc rule....but your just one of those tony hawk four kids arnt you?



(knows this because all noobs like ac/dc, unfortuanly)

ScorpSath 08-22-2004 04:47 PM

I really don't like them.

bastardsloth 08-22-2004 04:53 PM

their music is fun. and they do have occasional talented guitar riff i.e. thunderstruck

jackz53 08-22-2004 04:55 PM

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.

Fraging U 08-22-2004 04:57 PM

Good Band
 
They are a great band but they do get repetitive not the best but still fricking Awesome.

Insane-Mortality 08-22-2004 09:20 PM

acdc is way over rated...so is angus young

Stevo721 08-22-2004 09:27 PM

well they're not bad.. I like some of their songs but if I listen to them too much I get really sick of them.

horseypie 08-23-2004 02:14 AM

acdc are one of the most influential rock and roll bands ever to play music. sure some of their songs are repetitive but tat only came around towards the end of her career. look at the golden age wen bon scott was round they played the best rock and roll australia has ever heard frm our own bands. acdc rock!

flyhalf 08-23-2004 02:31 AM

acdc made me take up guitar :thumb:

i think angus used to be underrated but lately he's somehow picked up some attention. There are many new bands out there who try to play the AC/DC style but can't make it big. I guess AC/DC is one of the only bands where repetitiveness has actually worked.

I can say though, that their style of playing is often imitated but never duplicated.

Riva 08-23-2004 02:41 AM

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.

PhilSDMF 08-23-2004 04:13 AM

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

El_Goodo 08-30-2004 10:49 AM

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.

Apparently Malcolm makes most of the riffs in the songs

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. Da[color=white]mn[/color] good.

[QUOTE=Five Magics]Apparently Malcolm makes most of the riffs in the songs[/QUOTE]

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.

Broken Arrow 08-30-2004 11:37 AM

Angus is actually really good at soloing.IMO

rockinbass17 08-30-2004 11:47 AM

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.

El_Goodo 08-30-2004 11:56 AM

Why can you not listen to them for long? Every CD has something new and awesome! There an awesome band who else can pull of songs like The Boogie Man and Big Balls?

Bucky 08-30-2004 12:07 PM

for 30 years, ac/dc has been putting out music and putting on amazing shows. Angus isn't overrated, if any thing he's unerrated. And Malcom doesnt write the solos. he has written proabably two. He does however write most of the main riffs. Angus writes his solos.

I really just don't know. I used to be able to listen to them every day, but I just got bored. But I still think they're a good band :thumb:

Slash_89 08-30-2004 12:53 PM

angus is talented but almost all of their songs sound kinda the same
