[QUOTE=thunderstruck306]Ac/dc! I love Ac/dc! They are one of the best bands in rock history! They kick ***! Angus Young is not an over rated guitar player. He is the lead gutarist of an awesome band! His solos are amazing, he is entertaining and puts on a great show, the tunes he comes up with are incredible and sure some of it sounds the same but not all of it and if its the kind of music you like it does'nt matter. There lyrics are great! When you combine Angus youngs solos and jumpin around like a maniac with the rythem guitar of his brother malcome, Bon Scotts voice(or brian johnson), with drums, bass, awesome lyrics, and evrthing rock stands for you got one kick *** band! They rock what else can i say!

Oh and has anyone got family jewels yet? I realy wanna get that![/QUOTE]

no... :D

[QUOTE=PyRoMaNiA674]Thats the whole reason for a thread... To Discuss bands, not try to put everyone down that says whats on their minds[/QUOTE]

Discuss all you like. Im just sick of people saying basically the same thing all the time.

bassdudeok you ****en retard, that is not discussion, if you don't like them don't post in this thread. I couldn't say I like Metallica but do i go to the Metallica thread and bag them out. **** some people shouldve been killed at birth.

The reason as to why Angus wears a school uniform is that when he was in his teenager years, he would used to run home from school just to get to band practice. He'd be so willing to get to band practice he wouldn't change out of his uniform.

This then became a gimic.

Anybody seen the 'Family Jewels' DVD yet? It's really good, especially as a collectable. My favourite video/track from the whole album is probably Flick thing/Rocker. The riff is awesome at the beggining, and then Angus being Angus... goes into the crowd playing the guitar.

It doesn't show the [B]best[/B] of AC/DC, as they do the video's in order of the time line. For instance, they've done some amazing live shows and recordings for 'Whole lotta rosie', but they played the video from back when they had just started playing it and released it.

Still a great watch.

PS: Why are people arugeing over who is a fan and who isn't? Surely, can't we just have a discussion about them? There's no need to proove who is the bigger fan.

"Family Jewels" comes out today actually. It is definately a must get but I need to save up my cash for a new PA system..then I'll buy it.

angus sound teh same in a lot of songs but he was a stage performer and that's why ppl love ac/dc because of all they're craziness live and catchy riff (ex. Back in Black)
They're one of my fav bands tho

Stage performance makes a band for me, If they have no stage presence than I would probably not fork out money to see them live. Not in all cases but to get involved in the music a musician cannot merely stand and show little emotion and there's plenty out there like that.

Family Jewels is great, and yeah I wish there would of been more live videos. I think disc 1's the best, then again I havent watched disc 2 much, what about you?

how many live performances are actually on the discs? I recently downloaded a few of their Bon Scott clips and burnt them to VCD because I was so desperate for material showcasing him live. I got a 1977 concert which is really good and other tracks.

[QUOTE=rippa32]So how did you get hold of so many vinyl albums? Are you old enough to have bought them when they first came out?[/QUOTE]

Fraid so. I was still in primary school though so not that old.

Whered did you get those clips?

[QUOTE=Murder Sheep]AC/DC are just a smellier version of Led Zeppelin.[/QUOTE]
you dont know what your talking about. your pretty gay, kid.

I like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin..

[QUOTE=maddog87]you dont know what your talking about. your pretty gay, kid.[/QUOTE]

He's not that far off actually. The reason AC/DC signed to Atlantic records was because Zep were signed to them. AC/DC were big admirers of Led Zep.

You sure? I know Angus has a huge respect for Chuck Berry and those other 50s 60s rock musicians.

actually, they prefered the more bluesy sound of chuck berry or jerry lee lewis.led zep was more on the mainsteram of music.
angus & mal wanted to just play hard rock.even if they did like them, they wouldnt copy their style.
besides the point, led zep is a completely different sound. i like them though

rippa, what kind of guitar do you have?i got a gibson sg special w/57 classics.

wrong the uniform is just a gimmick Angus wasnt in school when he and Malcolm had sarted AC/DC and he was too old to be in school anyway.

hes right. it was in a guitar legdgens article a few months ago. he used to run from school to practice.

From the start i'm going to tell you i'm biased to AC/DC as i'm australian.

While AC/DC may not be technically superior to some bands in guitar playing skills at the time of their peak (late 70's-80's and Donnington '91) they were one of the best live acts going round, Angus going into the crowd and get lifted up in a cherry picker at the end of Let There Be Rock at Donnington is something that is etched in my mind as well as Angus playing guitar on Bon or Brian's shoulders depending on the time. Their riffs are catchy and the lyrics are memorable.They are my favourite band as my belief is that only when a band master the live acts can they rank up there in top bands lists. But in saying that they are out of place in my fav bands list as my next two favourite bands are Midnight Oil and Rage Against The Machine because of the messages behind their great music and live act.

[QUOTE=rippa32]You sure? I know Angus has a huge respect for Chuck Berry and those other 50s 60s rock musicians.[/QUOTE]

I'm not saying they wanted to sound like them. They wanted to be on the same label, and considering how succesful Zep were, it's not surprising.

[QUOTE=maddog87]rippa, what kind of guitar do you have?i got a gibson sg special w/57 classics.[/QUOTE]

How did you know I played guitar? Well anyhoo mine is just a strat copy. Its my first and ive only been playing 6 months now.

[QUOTE=maddog87]hes right. it was in a guitar legdgens article a few months ago. he used to run from school to practice.[/QUOTE]

Angus was 18 when AC/DC was formed. I doubt he ran from school.

guitar ledgens did a special on acdc a few months ago. in the interview he said that he used to run from school to the band practice. im not too sure if the band was official then, but his sister recommended he wear his school uniform.if you want you can go to the mag. website and see if they have the article on it. anyway, your profile said that you played guitar,so i was just wondering. :D is it a squier? that was my first electric guitar.ive been playing for about two years now.
