lots of pure rawk on the radio these days, esp. a lot of AC/DC. old timey fans will remember the covers by the boys, and the props given by wearing AC/DC shirts at a couple of shows...what's your thoughts on this?
i personally love pretty much anything by those dudes...
AC/DC are legends. Anyone who thinks otherwise just hasn't listened. Highway to Hell. Back in Black. High Voltage. These ablbums should be required listening for anyone who calls themself a rocker... or... a music fan for that matter. The Young brothers are just about the baddest rythym/lead combo ever.
Plus.. who doesn't love songs about drinking, women, and satan =)
sweeeeeeet. i knew everyone would agree :)
My oldest sons favourite band, consequently I hear them a lot. They also help my car go faster. Go figure?
Class act AC/DC.
Been around forever, still kicking ass and even though Bon Scott died there next album out is Back in Black which is possibly the best ever.....Legendary.....and think I have all but a few on the Ipod.

Bon Scott was the best--Jailbreak, She Got The Jack, and on and on love it!
Gonna be a rock and roll singer,
Gonna be a rock and roll star,
Gonna be a rock and roll singer...
Yes, I are!!!
it's a long way to the top!
QuoteThey also help my car go faster
That's awesome. :)
I have a frien who had the luck to go to one of their shows in '99. His ears are still ringing...
These guys rock big time.
Mark Kozelek released a record called What's Next To The Moon, all acoustic renditions of 10 Bon Scott songs. The songs are rearranged, I played it to my bud (huge AC/DC fan) and he thought it was sacrelig at first but now likes it. It is a pretty good CD, especially Bad Boy Boogie.
Interesting....will have to try and track that down.

Yeah, I've been wanting to check that out for very long now - they're all spooky, sad versions, aren't they? That's what I heard. If you can make a melancholic sad record with AC/DC songs, you're the man!
the Kozalek covers are absolutely brilliant. If you didn't know they were AC/DC songs, you'd swear they were oroginals. It just proves that you can't judge a song by it's cover!
....wow.....there's a lot of layers to that last sentence...i've gone cross-eyed!!!!!
Man, I saw AC/DC when I was like 15 and it is still one of the best. It was during their Big Balls Tour and they had the facade of a house set up on stage and they dropped a wrecking ball from the ceiling and smashed the house and the next thing you know Angus is rocking through the wreckage!
Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution... :o
I'll restart this topic simply for this.
Interviewer: 'Angus, how do you respond to people criticizing you for making the same album 21 times?'
Angus:'That's not the truth, people always forget our two live albums'
And: 'AC/DC only has one song, but nobody sings it better than us.'
Amen! Funny guys, these Australians!
YES. Bring on the rock!
that interview reminds me of a Spinal Tap moment:
"The review of "Shark Sandwich" was 2 words--"Shit Sandwich""
"Get out, you can't print that!"
