That made me feel much better.

Damn, just reading the first lines gave me goosebumps. AC/DC is simply my favorite band, ever. I'm in the process of buying all their remastered CD on eBay. I also own their 3 DVDs, but only one of them is good (sound-quality-wise), and it's Stiff Upper Lip.

They used to rock. Got tired of listening to the same kind of guitar tone in all their songs.
Moved on.

You need to see them live. They put on an excellent show. The only thing that can get on your nerves is Brian Johnson's 'voice'. Otherwise...they simply rock live. 99% of the groups out there could take a whole book of lessons from AC/DC's live performances. Aerosmith is another group that just keeps getting better with age (musically and live)

Now some people think the world is what it ain't
To some I'm a sinner, to others a saint
Some folks say the world ain't what is is
All I know is I just got to take a wiz
Where am I goin' and where have I been
My head's in the clouds and my tail's in a spin
Jumpin' out of planes for the thrill of it all
Then I bounce back and take a Piss On The Wall
Politics - Shmolitics
They oughta save their breath
Mean streak - blue streak
They sentence me to death
Harangue me from a tree
Twist and shout until I crawl
Do the flip - do the flop
Piss On The Wall
Well the Yanks hate the Reds
And the Greeks hate the Turks
I really hate to say it
But they're all a bunch of jerks
Seems like everybody's shakin'
'Cause the big one's 'bout to fall
I'm just tryin' to hold it steady while I
Piss On The Wall

I saw them in concert a couple of years ago. They still put on a great show. Angus Young is the man!

same could be said for about 99% of all bands/music out there.

AC/DC have a system and a sound that works perfectly well for them and their fans. Ever listen to Snoop Dogg? Same situation. Britney Spears....yup...same situation. There are VERY few bands/groups that evolve into something different every so often.

Just my .02

Yup, and when a band does evovle into something new, people scream "SELL OUT" ala Metallica. It's a not win situation and their will always be critics and complainers.

BTW: Love the part in the article about the drummer just playing bass, snare, bass, snare in 4/4 time.....it's funny 'cause it's true.
 

I see buttwipe BillGates is still posting that very old artricle, it seems his life revovles around dissing AC/DC, that is pretty damn pathetic if you ask me.

Hey Bill, get over it and move on, it's not healthy.


Hey DrNoobie, see my sig ;):):D

Haha, I love how you take my dislike of AC/DC personally and attack me because of it. Maybe you should read the thread - quite a few people feel the same way. And what's wrong with posting that "very old" article? It hasn't changed and neither has AC/DC's library of "talent," so the message still stands. BTW, disliking a band because they make cheese rock for the mulletly-inclined has nothing to do with my health.
