Hes good, but not great. Still good for the occasional listen, but I am nowhere near the fan I used to be. I am thinking about getting Flick Of The Switch on vinyl though.

I always thought that was funny. Espicially since Angus looks like a little kid; he's like, just over 5 feet tall!

5'3'' to be exact.

Hey I was thinking of starting an ac/dc tribute band here in cali. I was thinking of naming it Thunderztruck but saw that someone here already had that as their user name.

Any other name suggestions?

That's a good one. How 'bout Let there be Rock.

I know it's a song by AC/DC but I always liked that name a lot. It would look cool on a sign.

i love acdc and thats all that matters to me. angus is one of the greatest guitar players ever. he knew how to rip a guitar. and there songs were very catchy and pretty dang good. they didnt all sound the same to me either. maybe in the sence that they were all hard core and fast

angusvsslash52 11-01-2005 04:01 PM

I'm just wondering if anyone has heard about their new album, whether its going to be a double cd for sure ? and when its coming out, this december sometime or early next year?

I've heard rumors for probably the last 2 years that they're releasing a new album. I tend to get a little skeptic after a while.

If push comes to shove I'll just use High Voltage.:thumb:

I was actually thinking of how to say that with offending but couldn't think of anything.


Black Thunder sticks more than anything else but I'm still auditioning ppl for the band. Once we get everyone, we'll vote on the name.

I've started working on a setlist. Here's what I've got so far:


Thunderstruck (my fav. AC/DC song)
Hells Bells
Back In Black
Highway to Hell
Big Balls
For Those About To Rock
Beating Around the Bush

here's some other songs I want to do:

Ride On
Whole Lotta Rosie
Hell Ain't a Bad Place To Be
School Days
Shot Down In Flames

Romencer17 11-01-2005 10:18 PM

Sounds good to me man. In the band I guitar for we're all big AC/DC fans, and we've actually covered;

Highway to Hell.
Back in Black.
Hells Bells.
Jailbreak.
Dirty Deeds.
Long way to the top.
Whole lotta' rosie.
Sin city.
Shot down in flames.
Rocker.
Rock and Roll damnation.
If you want blood.
You shook me all night long.
What you do for money honey?
TNT.
Gone shootin'.
Riff Raff.

Might as bloody well be an AC/DC tribute band.

EmoWETdreams 11-03-2005 07:07 PM

AC/DC is old now. There stuff gets boring. My brother is in a band also, but they still need a drummer. How hard can it be just to find a friggin` drummer. How lame. And yeah, just might as well be an AC/DC tribute band. Thunderstruck and TNT are my ALL time favorites. But they get so annoying afterwards.

First off...Welcome to Mx!!

Second, that's not a good way to make friends, EmoWETdreams.

rippa32 11-04-2005 01:09 AM

What do you people think of Beating Around The Bush? I think it's hugely underrated, and great if you think Angus doesnt do much except play three chords per song(well he usually does I suppose).

acdc_problemchild07 11-05-2005 11:54 AM

Anyone know if AC/DC is goin on a US tour when there new cd comes out??

classicrockman 11-05-2005 05:37 PM

[QUOTE=acdc_problemchild07]Anyone know if AC/DC is goin on a US tour when there new cd comes out??[/QUOTE]
Could've sworn that I heard Malcom or Angus say that they were going on a world tour after the new album is released. Don't have a web-site link to back you up though.

rippa32 11-05-2005 07:49 PM

Well at least I can rest comfortable they will be doing Australia, considering that is where they live.

Thunderstruck-14 11-05-2005 08:07 PM

AC/DC ROCKS!

:chug:

rippa32 11-06-2005 03:36 AM

Yes they do. Hey look he got banned within three posts, I wonder what he did.

Romencer17 11-06-2005 12:51 PM

Has anyone, by the way, heard of the band called Schubert, or am I the only one?

Yep


Man I ahve the AC/DC family jewels DVD and I still havent properly watched it. Ive only had it for 3 months or something.

AtTheDriveIn198d 11-06-2005 01:14 PM

[QUOTE=rnaiyc]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[/QUOTE]


just because somethings not highly technical doesn't mean its not good

[QUOTE=rippa32]What do you people think of Beating Around The Bush? I think it's hugely underrated, and great if you think Angus doesnt do much except play three chords per song(well he usually does I suppose).[/QUOTE]


It's my fav. AC/DC song.

The intro and main riff is just the E minor blues scale. No real fancy way of playing it either. Just start on e and play the entire E minor blues scale and you've just played beating around the bush.:lol:


Anyways, I live in Rosamond which is just a mile or two north of the Kern and LA county border.

I just got a call from a drummer that wants to audition for this band. Veerrryy awesome. I just might actually get this thing going after all.

Plus you can't cover AC/DC unless you finish your set with For Those About To Rock. :thumb:

I should probably just name the band Big Balls.:lol:

rippa32 11-08-2005 05:49 AM

Hey it may be a simple scale but the speed he does it at is incredible, it took me three days to perfect without making it sound like a mess.

Word, especially if you do it at the pace they do it off the AC/DC Live album.

Makes me orgasm.

First off, ewwwwww.

2. it doesn't matter what speed you do it, just play it.

3. I forgot to add TNT to my list like an idiot.

4. I'm getting a drummer so I'll be playing all of these songs at gigs very soon.

5. I'm done ranting.
