[QUOTE=s0ldsoul4roknrol]I'm pretty sure that isn't a rumor.[/QUOTE]

im pretty sure it is. the album is indeed due by christmas but its not called "Strap It On." Even though i can't confirm that, you can't confirm that it is called that so don't say sh[B]i[/B] t thats not true.

by the way ac/dc is fu[B]c[/b] king amazing.

80smetalkicksass 11-12-2004 03:52 PM

im so confused about this rumor thing now because on this one site i forgot what its called it said there was an interview with brian and he said it was due out in early 2005 around february, and that it might be called strap it on... and it would be followed by a world tour but now im just confused...if any one knows true info id like to hear it!

Jimi Haze 11-12-2004 04:13 PM

I don't have any Ac/Dc albums :lol:

But songwise.... Whole Lotta Rosie is my favourite :thumb:

s0ldsoul4roknrol 11-12-2004 04:24 PM

Yeah I'm getting my tickets the minute the phone lines open up for the next tour where I live. How about you guys?

Cream Team 11-12-2004 04:25 PM

No No No...Girls Got A Rythm (although whole lotta rosie is very good still)

s0ldsoul4roknrol 11-12-2004 04:26 PM

Oh and just for everyone to be clear on this issue.

Bon years>>>>>>>>>>>>>Brian Johnson years

Bon was amazing, talented, and cool.

i like highway to hell, i played it in our band for our music assessment and it went really well, except we forgot to turn the lead guitarists amp on so you couldn't hear the solo (woops)

:) we've decided ac dc songs are too hard to play because the voice is so unique, so we switched, ironically enough, to playing creed - one last breath (also a unique voice)

Steve Vai 11-17-2004 12:07 AM

I like Highway to Hell. Long live Bon Scott!

deathbeforedisco 11-17-2004 12:13 AM

don't fücking flame me for this, because i bought all of acdc's albums in literally one month one by one, so i now what im talking about: fly on the wall is the most underrated albums period. the title track, sink the pink, and hell or high water are three of the many favorite songs of ac/dc. also, i think for those about to rock is the most overrated albums ever. ok, the title track is good, but its much better live, and put the finger on you is pretty catchy, but everyone says its one of the best, at least what ive heard. id say buy these in order, trust me, i have a reason for this order:
1. let there be rock
2. highway to hell
3. powerage
4. if you want blood
5. stiff upper lip
6. ballbreaker
7. the razors edge
8. high voltage
9. dirty deeds done dirt cheap
10. live

from there, you can use your imagination, i didnt put fly on the wall because i think im the only person west of the mississippi that likes it. blow up your video is good, too. flick of the switch i think is the worst, although it has begun to grow on me. it's very raw, like early ac/dc, but if bon was singing those songs it would have been a helluva lot better. as for back in black, well, if you consider yourself to be a rock fan, you own it.

Heatseeker 11-17-2004 12:29 AM

my favorite album is high voltage and let there be rock. LTBR was totally a guitar album and anyone who wants some badass rock and roll with lots of solos, get that album. perfect example: let there be rock. ac/dc's best riff ever, complete with history according to bon. great solo, or should i say solos, in that song. for some good live action, skip over[I] live[/I] and go straight to [I]if you want blood, you've got it[/I]. all bon on that album.

as for my favorite songs?

sin city - the greatest ac/dc song ever
shoot to thrill - most badass breakdown ever
hell's bells - most badass intro ever (makes me rage drive)
let there be rock - greatest ac/dc riff ever
whole lotta rosie - most... uh... i dunno. awesome song, though.
stiff upper lip - most headbangable ac/dc song ever
it's a long way to the top - greatest song with a bagpipe in it

pfc_mike 11-17-2004 02:20 AM

i love AC/DC more than any other band on this little blue planet of ours. I love them so much that i can't name good or bad songs because i like every single one of theirs (yes it is possible to like them all). others have said AC/DC inspired them to pick up a guitar, but they not only did that to me but also inspired me to listen to music in the first place. as for Bon vs. Brian i think its a tie...they really are a lot more alike than people think. the two greatest singers in rock period. Malcolm (NOBODY HERE EVEN MENTIONED HIS NAME) and Angus are the greatest guitar duo ever. People forget about Malcolm all the time yet he came up with arguable the greatest riff of all time (Back in Black) and he has held down that rhythm guitar position like nobody else. What can i say about Angus...my personal God. He may not be Hendrix or Clapton but he plays with more spirit and passion than anyone (the cordless guitar was indirectly invented for that man...it must have been). another thing, AC/DC is not metal, they are classic rock pure and simple.

as for the comparison between The Who and AC/DC...
[B]AC/DC[/B] has been going strong for 30 straight consecutive years
[B]The Who[/B] actually broke up for a while (1983)
[B]AC/DC[/B] lost its frontman and one of the greatest singers ever
[B]The Who[/B] lost perhaps the greatest drummer ever (but he was easily replaceable)
[B]AC/DC[/B] came back after their greatest album to that point (Highway to Hell) and released one of the greatest albums in any genre of music with a new lead singer (Back in Black)
[B]The Who[/B] released Face Dances after Keith Moon's passing (critics basically said it was crap compared to old Who albums)
[B]AC/DC[/B] has released albums on a regular basis (not so frequently anymore)
[B]The Who's[/B] last official studio record was released in '83

i could say more but i won't...is AC/DC the greatest band ever (to me yes, to many others no) but they have rocked harder and longer than most and still to this day kick so much ***.

ps. not many people here mentioned Riff Raff...take another listen, its pure genius all the way through.

Good job with the comparison :thumb:

Check out Live at Atlantic Studios if you can track it down. They do a superb rendition of Hell ain't a bad place to be.

Albums -
1 BIB
2 HTH
3 LTBR.

Like so many Dc were my reason for picking up a guitar.

dirge for november 11-17-2004 05:16 AM

i love that hammer on pull off thing in thunderstruck. apart from that not really a fan.

giddy 11-17-2004 05:28 AM

Jailbreak was the song that turned me into a fan.

If you want blood is one of my favourite albums.

YJM 11-17-2004 05:38 AM

Shut it girls, each to their own.

jaredthebassman 11-17-2004 07:35 AM

yeah all i realyl listen to is Classic/Hard Rock, ACDC, Guns N Roses, Faith No More, Nirvana, Kiss etc and ACDC have got to top the list!

funny stories in indonesian class me and all my mates start singing an acdc song, usually thunderstruck or tnt though

downpaymentblues 11-17-2004 02:53 PM

they're supposed to start in MArch 2005. Europe, Australia, Asia and Americas (Norht, South).
By the way, the album is due middle of February

Lieutenant Dan 11-22-2004 11:27 PM

^huzzah!!!

any idea where i can get info on it? any good websites?

Silvertide81 11-23-2004 12:41 AM

There where great in the Bon Scott years... But after Back In Black they
became more hit or miss. They had some good songs like Stiff Upper Lip/
Moneytalks/Thunderstruck/Ball Breaker and Heat Seakers. To me it would
have to be:

Shook Me All Night Long
Highway To Hell
JailBreak--Underrated
Back In Black
Ride On--Underrated

enpsychopedia 11-23-2004 01:17 AM

Has anyone seen the AC/DC - No Bull live in Spain dvd? The intro for Hell's Bells with the bell = baaaaadaaaaassss.

willay 01-01-2006 08:40 PM

My Top 5 AC/DC Cds:
Powerage
Back in Black
The Razors Edge
Highway To Hell
Dirty Deeds

I like sorta lesser known AC/DC songs (like, not back in black or highway to hell). My favorite AC/DC songs are:
If You Want Blood (You Got it)
Thunderstruck
Who Made Who
Heatseeker
Sin City
Shake Your Foundations

Yeah. Does anyone know when their new album is coming out?

Klander Brigade 01-01-2006 08:51 PM

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Not an AC/DC fan... I think they're kinda repetitive. I mean, they're alright, but only in small doses... *runs to the hills and hides*[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Much too repetitive, but sometimes I'll listen to a song or two. More novelty than anything, for me.
