They're a Rock 'n' Roll band - pure and simple.

I like them, went through years of trying not to like them, until I gave in a few years ago and now appreciate their fucking awesome music.

Trasher02 07.25.2006 04:17 AM

No they suck really I tried to get into it... why I don't fucking know but I did and it blows. Period.

bon scott era acdc rocks anything after not so rock

Norma J 07.25.2006 05:21 AM

^True. Post Bon era doesn't suck, though.

Rob Instigator 07.25.2006 09:01 AM

AC DC is one of the best rock bands ever, bar none.
ear splitting, face melting, cock thrusting, ball ripping rock.
I am not a huge fan, but I give respect to those who paid their dues and stayed the course.

EMMAh 07.25.2006 09:17 AM

I don't like them, never have.
That man's voice is fucking irritating. Plus the radio stations here seem to play that Hells Bells song over and over and over. It's happened to me twice were Hells Bells has been on one station, so I change the channel and it's playing at the same time on the other fucking one.

afterthefact 07.25.2006 09:23 AM

I hate how every song sounds the same

porkmarras 07.25.2006 09:25 AM

I don't mind them.If i had it my way,though,they would only exist musically but not phisycally.

sonicl 07.25.2006 09:36 AM

Have you people never listened to If You Want Blood..?

If it weren't for Motorhead's "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith", that would be the greatest live album ever.

no, but look at it from my point of view; if I think their songs just suck, would it make a difference live? :)

Hah! So you admit it then - it's not AC/DC that's at fault, it's your way of thinking.

Toilet & Bowels 07.25.2006 10:11 AM

ac/dc discovered a formula for perfection, and for years they churned many similar yet entirely perfect rock songs. people who claim to be into music but don't like ac/dc are just poseurs who have no genuine love for music.

no, you're just a moron

porkmarras 07.25.2006 10:19 AM

Are we in a bad mood today?I wonder if you love Iron Maiden too.They were fucking ace years ago.

connie kreski 07.25.2006 10:23 AM

they are very good, a lot of strong bluesy songs.

it's rock'nroll. i prefer them to the ramones, sorry...

you could say that, or you could just say that it is my opinion. anytime you say whether a band is good or not, it's always just your opinion. because no matter what it is, there is somebody who likes it. so the one at fault would be you, for suggesting a live album of a band to somebody who already thinks that band sucks.

Normally I would agree, but in this case surely we're talking facts, ie AC/DC suck.

sonicl 07.25.2006 10:43 AM

Pookie, I don't want to fall out with you, so I'm just going to ignore the fact that you've said twice in this thread that AC/DC suck. Don't do it again.

Rob Instigator 07.25.2006 10:45 AM

AC/DC rock harder than the sttrokes, than the killer,s than radiohead, than green day, than...

hell, it is straight up bluesy rock riffin, and ACDC clasics (you shook me all night long, hells bells, long way to the top if ya wanna rock n roll, back in black, highway to hell, etc) are fucking rock anthems.

you shook me all night long can jump start a party, ANY party, rock n roll style

jon boy 07.25.2006 10:46 AM

ac/dc fucking rules.

And Spookie had the cheek to slag off Slayer on another thread too.Lovely man but he deserves a good spanking every now and then.

nomadicfollower 07.25.2006 10:48 AM

AC/DC aren't terrible.
In fact, I plan to have Highway to Hell playing at my funeral.

Yeah.

Hey Pookie - We know where you live, man. You better watch your step!

(Are you quaking in your boots yet?)

porkmarras 07.25.2006 10:50 AM

And i'll be wearing my Iron Maiden tee too.

LittlePuppetBoy 07.25.2006 10:50 AM

I don't mind them, mainly because I know a lot of people who are fans (typical) including my little bro. But the guy's singing on Thunderstruck is really grating on the ears I find

nomadicfollower 07.25.2006 10:51 AM

Does AC/DC sing that song 'now your messin with a son of bitch'? That song rocks.

Shit - I'd forgotten that.

All together:

"I've got big balls
I've got big balls
They're such big balls
And they're dirty big balls"

etc...

sonicl 07.25.2006 11:04 AM

Okay, you and your dirty big balls have put me off this time, but you better watch your step in future.

porkmarras 07.25.2006 11:23 AM

Sonicl,you should put him on half-ignore wich is a new option on the forum.

Nope, that's Nazareth.

AC/DC...Butt-head wore the T-shirt, so I'll begin there. Everyone likes Beavis more, & I do as well, but Beavis wore the Metallica T-shirt & anyone that knows best knows that AC/DC are some dirty-ass rock n' roll that out-raunch Metallica any day of the week.

Out of the outback came the creature known as AC/DC. Propelled by the earth-shaking power of the distinctve amp-busting blues of the Young brothers on guitar, everyone has heard them before at some point. They can be described as somewhere in-between an even more nasty The Rolling Stones and yet not quite full-on metal.

Songs like "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" & "TNT" are scorchers. Bon Scott sang "Highway to Hell" & then (as many may know) died from hypothermia one London winter while in a car he was sleeping in after passing out there.

And then it happened. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, AC/DC came back with Brian Johnson. I was in sixth grade when the all-black, solid-as-a-rock Back in Black record made its appearance. That was my real introduction. It came at a time when most of my peers were into Kiss or Rush, or heaven help 'em, Air Supply, Boston or Kansas, & it was welcome. Me & my skateboarding, bicycle riding friends placed AC/DC up there with Foghat & Styx, & (our rather unpopular & unlikely favorite) Devo, although I still had a huge crush on Olivia Newton-John & also dug some ELO. Although some later AC/DC albums had some decent rockers in the ever-increasingly more formulaic style, they would never put out anything that great ever again.
