ac dc is timeless. they sound the same whay today as they did in the 70's
(except for bon scotts volcals that is LOL)

[QUOTE=rippa32]Sorry to do this to you again but the australian High Voltage didn't sell all that well. It didn't even have High Voltage the song on it. Also the line-up was one that was before their classic line-up. It was Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Bon Scott, George Young(Angus and Malcolms older brother formely of the easy beats played bass on this album, he also produced it along with many other AC/DC albums), Tony Kerrante (no idea who this actually is).[/QUOTE]

go to the timeline in 75.it should come up.

Well sorry about that I must have been mistaken. You certainly do you're homework.

if you dont like Ac/dc then you dont know what rock n roll is

AC/DC is a great example of what rock and roll really is. It's about catching the audience and taking them for a hell of a ride, which is exactly what they do at every single one of their concerts. Their songs may be simple, but anyone who doesn't get a kick out of Angus's guitar solos + insane dancing is just being ridiculous. They're a very entertaining band and one of my favourites.

i try to. :)

Well they are an example of a part of rock and roll. This next statment will sound like I'm bashing them but I'm not I agree they are a great band, but those of us who listen to it hoping to expand our minds with new ideas won't like them as much.

[QUOTE=ScorpSath]I really don't like them.[/QUOTE]

I don't love the ****, but i still have one on my body..........Haha that made no sense at all.

[QUOTE=angus88]if you dont like Ac/dc then you dont know what rock n roll is[/QUOTE]

Anyone has a right to an opinion.

whats up

i was disappointed with the response i got with my bon scott tribute thread! where the hell were all you people?!?!

Was that the 25th anninversary thread? If so it would only last a day cause thats how long the anniversary would last.

Has anyone here heard the single with Dave Evans on vocals?

'Can I sit next to you girl'?

He also did a second song, but I've totally forgotten the name of it. I think it was the B side track.


Anyway, back to what I posted in a different thread, I need to help;


Well, seens as for some reason I can't make a thread, I'm a huge fan of AC/DC and have been for years. I know them inside out... and for an English Test I have to do a talk about them.

I plan on talking about past and present, and also playing a video I've got for Rocker. Without a doubt, Angus young is an idol. What he does on stage is so passionate, and is unbelievable rock and roll.

Well, I was wondering if anybody knew of any videos on the Internet with Angus Youngs' greatest moments in or something? I plan on playing Rocker because he plays two awesome solo's, and also does the usual duck walk, goes into crowd on Body guards shoulders, goes on Bon Scotts shoulders, goes off stage because he needs oxygen... hits the floor and spins round playing the guitar. You know... that ole' shinanigon.

If I could find a video with tons of these great clips of him, It would be good to show me' mates.

Cheers.

ive seen that rocker vid it is the bomb innit and i would also like to see some rare footage of angus young going mental as pure usual

out of the countless sites i have been to, i have never come across any videos of the band. i remember only one site that had clips on it but all the links were broken.if you can, wait until family jewels comes out. ive already reserved a copy and ive heard its really good.

i used to like ac/dc a lot, but in the past couple years, jc penney started carrying their t shirts and just about every little wannabe in the school "listens" to them, and becaseu of that, they dont appeal to me anymore

I feel the same. While I was at JC Penny they had Led Zeppelin shirts and The Doors shirts. It was pretty stupid.

Can someone please tell me what JC Penny is? Is it some sort of clothes shop in America?

Yeah, they sell clothes there

Ok.

[URL]http://www.101cd.com/video/info.asp?id=813105[/URL] gonna pre order a copy of family jewells from there

Bargain!

That is a definate for my buying. I'm going to pre order a copy. I can't believe you get so many videos and clips for such a little price.

Has to go into the collection...

megadeth done a cover of problem child out of respect for Bon while touring couple of days ago

What did it sound like?

no idea i wasnt in Germany or wherever they where but it said it on the megadeth website in the tour journals was probably an allright cover tho

Yeah, Megadeth do a lot of covers whilst on tour. I've heard a cover of "Rock 'n' Roll" by Zeppelin from them.

Just went out and bought a few more remastered CD's/a Let there be Rock T-Shirt. I'll wear it whilst gigging.

i dont buy the AC/DC remasters pointless if u ask me id buy them if they put demos an stuff on like megadeth but they dot so i dont waste my time

there will be a new dvd coming out.its called family jewels and its got two discs with tons of $hit from bon and brian

[QUOTE=gocaps99]C!

i have a back in black shirt... but im not just one of those kids that think it's a cool shirt and has no idea what it is. angus is a kickas[COLOR=White]s[/COLOR] guitarist

rip bon scott![/QUOTE]

there is at least 30 kids in my school with that shirt, the sad thing is, they all got it from jc penneys and they probobly dont like ac/dc

[QUOTE=Insane-Mortality]acdc is way over rated...so is angus young[/QUOTE]
yep

AC/\/DC are truly excellent, ok a few of their songs have similar sounds but with a band that old thats bound to happen, probably due to their style of writing music. Angus and Malcom are solid guitarists, with flair both in their writing, technique and on the stage. There have been a fair few bassists for them, each with slightly differing styles but fundamentally they play the root notes and keep everything held down. Phil Rudd (and AC/DC's other drummers, but primarily Rudd) IMO, is key to their sound... can you imagine portnoy rattling off the 32nd note polyrhymths over his 500-voice kit to a nice, steady bluesy/rock'n'rolly band like ACDC? It just wouldn't be practical. The drum parts are well written and complement the music. Not that I don't like Portnoy, he's one of my favourite drummers at the moment, easily in the top 5 progressive drummers in the world. Flaming ACDC on the basis that they're too simplistic is pointless - they easily have the talents to be a virtuoso, OTT progressive band, but they aren't. They do what they enjoy and they do it **** well. Sorry this went on a bit...

Oh yeah, and to not like ACDC, or any band, or anything for that matter, on the basis that it's overrated is really, really stupid. The fact that people overrate them doesn't actually change how well they play, or what they play etc.

Just a thought

Thank you. I am so sick of people who stop liking their favourite bands just because other people like it too. I have found it so hard to find someone with my taste in music, Theres like 3 in the whole school. I wish I had more people to talk to about music.

Too true.

Nobody around me had actually heard of AC/DC until I showed them the LIGHT. My Dad showed my a tape when I was real young, and a few years back I got really into them. Since then, I've shown a few of mates, one of which who used to be ghetto gangster who listens to rap, and I've got a few people into them.

By the way, I agree about the drumming. The whole band is very simple, but thats what makes it Rock 'n' Roll. Angus adds the flair by kicking out a few solo's. Angus Young is very under-rated if you ask me...

Nobody had heard of AC/DC? Whats wrong with these people? Everyone has at least heard the name and know OF them.

acdc has always been popular where im from.my dad got me into acdc when i was about 4. i remember singing the chorus to back in black when i was little. i have always listened to them,but whithin the past two years i really started learning about them.

My dad was never into them. But he did get me into the Beatles. I got into AC/DC because I seemed to like the rock/metal thing after buying Metallica's And Justice for All album. Then I got AC/DC live that changed my life. Of course I had heard AC/DC songs before (Thunderstruck, Dirty Deeds) but I hadnt heard ther best (For Those About to Rock, Back In Black (yes I hadnt heard Back in Black) and all others. Now I have 8 albums with more to definatly come.

i would like to say that malcolm, of all people in the band is the most underated, not to take anything away from angus though
