People who wear Back In Black shirts aren't necessarily the ones who don't know anything about AC/DC, some people happened to enjoy that album, but listen to others as well. If really want to find out who their true fans are, ask them to list 5 AC/DC songs that they like, that don't include You Shook Me All Night Long, Highway To Hell, Back In Black, Hells Bells, or TNT.

yea dude i wear those shirts and i own every album. most from the uk, have seen them live, and love bonfire. looks can be desieving

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]yea but who saw robert halford coming out coming.[/QUOTE]

Thats a good point. But with the AC/DC lyrics about sex and sexism and just their general humour on stage and the way they speak off-stage, I just really cannot see any of them being homosexual, I think Rob Halford was different in his manner and views than Angus Young and Bon Scott, plus Whole Lotta Rosie was written about a big Tasmanian women Bon bedded. :lol:

I might do that in the future, good way of discovering true AC/DC fans

I don't like AC/DC that much because I think a lot of their songs sound the same,but I don't own any of their records so I'm not quite fit judge. If they do have really varying and I'm wrong blame radio

Yeah, it's accurate to say that radio play mostly play the most famous tracks, Dirty Deeds, TNT, Back In Black and so on, of course because they are the tracks that people know, if you are going to buy an AC/DC record buy "If You Want Blood...You've Got It" which is a live album. It features most of the best of the early stuff and track 1 Riff Raff has different timing and it is the only AC/DC song I can put my finger on that is different in that regard. Their sound is pretty much the same throughout their records but the early stuff is class, especially on this live recording, the charisma of Bon Scott and just the electricity of the band when performing live adds a lot to the record and Angus's solos are better than they are these days

I used to listen to Ac/Dc, but I got bored with them, and don't listen to them anymore.

I dunno how people can get tired of AC/DC! I love their music, have their albums, and have blown enough speakers listening to them I could give any AC/DC fan a run for their money! I was gonna get a t-shirt of them but then some poser came to school with one and I kinda lost my enthusiasm for it, but their music is still the best!

So not only do you deem someone who likes the same music as you a "poser", you let that ruin your enthusiasm for the band? Pfft.

No, I meant the person who bought the shirt does not listen to them at all. They only wear the shirt to try to be cool or somethin. And also, I lost no enthusiasm for the band whatsoever. Only to wear the shirt.

Im pretty sure you can get them. It's the one with the cannon right?
!!! Speaking of shirts, in the Back in Black book that comes with the CD (page 4), there is a reference to a shirt that says,
"I like AC/DC, and I'll fight anybody who says different."
I really would love one of them. Does anybody know where to get one?! I would be greatful for any suggestions.

JACKROXYOU 12-25-2004 05:37 PM

No, I'm not a newb. I have all my songs on Winamp in alphabetical order and I'm almost at the end, the last two songs being You've Got to Belong to It and Zero Signal.

rippa32 12-26-2004 04:30 AM

JACKROXYOU 12-28-2004 12:27 PM

heatseeker, the jack, i want a mistress for christmas, strangly the the razors edge isnt a big song

Brew 12-28-2004 12:30 PM

I've recently gotten into AC/DC via my Dads vinyl collection.

Albums I've heard so far are:

Highway to Hell
Back in Black
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
High Voltage

I like Bon Scott's voice alot more than Brian Johnsons (is that his name? I'm not 100% sure...), its more interesting and fun.

I'm pretty sure my band is going to cover Big Balls, we might even do She's Got Balls aswell so we can dedicate to a girl we know who is rather manly.

:)

Wanna kno somethin about shes got balls? Bon wrote it cause his wife asked him to write a song about her. They were divorced pretty soon after.

I really like the razors edge. I love those powerful kinda songs, kinda like For those about to rock.

rippa32 12-30-2004 12:02 AM

Anyone got the donington dvd? I just got it the other day and i gotta say its just awesome.

blue3 12-30-2004 12:04 AM

Yeah I got the live in donington dvd.. It is awesome

Ulysses 12-30-2004 12:21 AM

Yeah I've got Donington and Stiff Upper Lip in Munich, both great DVDs. I downloaded a 1977 concert with Bon Scott singing and burnt it to a DVD, I don't know where the actual concert is and the sound isn't the greatest but it's good to watch AC/DC prior to 1980 when Bon was alive and kicking.
