we outta lock him in a room and force him to listen to the "back in black" & "highway to hell" albums until he comes out doing the angus young dance! :idea:
how can you be a fan of rock music and not like those two ac/dc albums at least? :shock:
For the reasons outlined in the first post of this thread.
so which singer are you refering too in your first post, bon scott or brian johnson? :roll: :ugeek: :P
"Their music all sounds the same, their lyrics are just cheap"
- Fair argument. Not much musical growth, they cover the same ground with each new album - booze, women, and rock.
"the singers voice shits me, sounds like he is constipated and is trying to push one out."
- You're speaking of Brian Johnson, the singer since 1980. I always favored the description of gargling with broken glass. His voice has been weaker over the past decade or so, but back in the 80s that dude could screech.
"All repetitive, no moving forward with their music."
- Again, no sane person could dispute this.
"Their music is totally uninspiring and does not provoke any thought other than the thought of them sucking."
- Now HERE's your problem. AC/DC's music asks nothing of you except to sit back and enjoy the ride. You're not trying. If you want something cerebral or thought-provoking, Radiohead's got that covered. But if you can hear the opening riff of "Shoot to Thrill" while driving and not step on the gas a little harder, then you're the one with the problem.
"And their fans are all a bunch of feral tough guy, ute driving, tradesman, bullying type bogans here in Australia who hang around pubs hanging for a fist fight."
- Sweeping generalization, totally pointless.
"One of the biggest bogans (who is a bully to me and others) at my work is a big ACDC fan and went to their show, why does it not surprise me that he is a ACDC fan?"
- Irrelevant unless AC/DC fathered your coworker. This is quite possible given their age.
"And one final thing, the Aussie media should stop labeling them an 'Aussie Band'.
They are born and bred Scots/Englishmen who do not even live in Australia and haven't for years."
- Their media portrayal is not their fault.
"Rant over, fuck you ACDC and your fans."
- And yet you have the gall to complain about a backlash in your thread.
Dude, it's big dumb visceral music designed to make you pump your fist and rock out while having beers with your buddies. There is a place for this in the musical landscape. Does it attract dumb mooks who like to crush beer cans on their foreheads and fight? Absolutely! But you'll see that with any powerful rock band. I've seen two steakheads fighting during Yellow Ledbetter, for goodness sake. I'm not trying to change your mind here, but simply poking holes in your post while sticking up for a band I have enjoyed for 30 years.
Cheers.
It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

Excellent post, especially what happens while driving to *Shoot To Thrill*. The OP started out this thread with *I hate AC/DC* then changed it. I think he expected everyone to follow along with his theme and ride the wave despondency of the band. That didn't happen so he appears to have abandoned his thread. There's no pretensions with the band they're who we thought they were.
Some people say we have thirteen albums that all sound the same. That isn't true. We have fourteen albums that all sound the same

you can have your own lame opinions but please keep in mind that you are in the minority on this issue
back in black
It sold an estimated 49 million copies to date, making it the second highest selling album of all time, behind Michael Jackson's Thriller (the best-selling album of all-time) as well as the best selling album ever released by a band. On 13 December 2007, the RIAA certified it 22× Multi Platinum, recognizing sales of 22 million in the United States.

Great band, no pretentions, no phony deep and meaningful lyrics, no pontificating about politics, not out to save the world. Just have a few beers, turn it up and have some fun. All bands should be like AC/DC. You sound like a whining little toe rag who deserves to be bullied, are you an emo by the way?
Fuck you.

Who's contesting whether it's art ot NOT the band themselves will tell you that. They just happen to sell quite a few records and sell out quite a few shows. Nothing more, it's as simple as that.

If you want meaningful lyrics and musical invention then go elsewhere.
If you want the greatest hard rock and roll band on the planet - then ACDC are and always will be THE number one choice in my book.
And by the way comparing them to Pearl Jam is a pointless exercise. They are two very different bands and I love them both!

The same chords, rearranged, with equally cheesy and mindless lyrics each time. They're just cock-rock, nothing special. MAYBE a fun concert, but I wouldn't pay money for it. My friends just recently bought $90 tickets for Vegas. :roll: I gladly passed. While it might be a fun show to get drunk at and see tits (good and bad), the price tag just doesn't convince me.
I own Back In Black and Highway To Hell. I only listen to one of them....in a great while.

You then come on PJs website to vent your frustrations to a bunch of strangers because you don't have the balls to confront the person who is at the root of the problem. You blame AC/DC because you are to much of a wimp to stand up for yourself, pathetic. There's a word for people like you, pussy. You are a pussy.

If you've listened to the Bon Scott era and Back In Black and can't hear that ACDC IS one of the greatest rock bands ever, you're the one with the problem, and you may wanna get medical help.
98% of all rock bands do one thing and do it well, but nobody does anything as good as ACDC does theirs.
I'd like to think my wife would be proud of me for defending AC/DC on Valentine's Day(2 years ago) instead of doing something romantic.
Comments
so which singer are you refering too in your first post, bon scott or brian johnson? :roll: :ugeek: :P
have a drink on me!
"Their music all sounds the same, their lyrics are just cheap"
- Fair argument. Not much musical growth, they cover the same ground with each new album - booze, women, and rock.
"the singers voice shits me, sounds like he is constipated and is trying to push one out."
- You're speaking of Brian Johnson, the singer since 1980. I always favored the description of gargling with broken glass. His voice has been weaker over the past decade or so, but back in the 80s that dude could screech.
"All repetitive, no moving forward with their music."
- Again, no sane person could dispute this.
"Their music is totally uninspiring and does not provoke any thought other than the thought of them sucking."
- Now HERE's your problem. AC/DC's music asks nothing of you except to sit back and enjoy the ride. You're not trying. If you want something cerebral or thought-provoking, Radiohead's got that covered. But if you can hear the opening riff of "Shoot to Thrill" while driving and not step on the gas a little harder, then you're the one with the problem.
"And their fans are all a bunch of feral tough guy, ute driving, tradesman, bullying type bogans here in Australia who hang around pubs hanging for a fist fight."
- Sweeping generalization, totally pointless.
"One of the biggest bogans (who is a bully to me and others) at my work is a big ACDC fan and went to their show, why does it not surprise me that he is a ACDC fan?"
- Irrelevant unless AC/DC fathered your coworker. This is quite possible given their age.
"And one final thing, the Aussie media should stop labeling them an 'Aussie Band'.
They are born and bred Scots/Englishmen who do not even live in Australia and haven't for years."
- Their media portrayal is not their fault.
"Rant over, fuck you ACDC and your fans."
- And yet you have the gall to complain about a backlash in your thread.
Dude, it's big dumb visceral music designed to make you pump your fist and rock out while having beers with your buddies. There is a place for this in the musical landscape. Does it attract dumb mooks who like to crush beer cans on their foreheads and fight? Absolutely! But you'll see that with any powerful rock band. I've seen two steakheads fighting during Yellow Ledbetter, for goodness sake. I'm not trying to change your mind here, but simply poking holes in your post while sticking up for a band I have enjoyed for 30 years.

The same chords, rearranged, with equally cheesy and mindless lyrics each time. They're just cock-rock, nothing special. MAYBE a fun concert, but I wouldn't pay money for it. My friends just recently bought $90 tickets for Vegas. :roll: I gladly passed. While it might be a fun show to get drunk at and see tits (good and bad), the price tag just doesn't convince me.
I own Back In Black and Highway To Hell. I only listen to one of them....in a great while.
Don't get too hyped up on them. Spend your energy on a more contaminating band.....like U2

Well dissected. I love this post. AC/DC has a certain amount of merits...OP, don't look too hard for something that isn't there...

Thanks. Sorry to join the "I dislike" band wagon, but any place I can make a jab at U2, I'm for it.

Yeah I am pre-pubescent ok.....
You probably never went through it you twat, now go rock out to your cock rock moron.
Actually came here to express my disgust at this band.
I bet you got the small man syndrome, hiding behind your computer and your username making insults towards me when all I did was express that I think AC/DC suck, you threw the first stone you dumb...cunt!
Yeah I'm a pussy, I hide behind my screen like you, tough guy.
Why not change your username to what JDB is an acronym for, Jackoff Dickhead Brainless?
YUP, it's true. In the early 80's I was nuts about them till everyone jumped on the bandwagon and spoiled all the fun. :( They will have their place in the history of music, that just the way it is.
Peace

Yeah, this is true. Because of their impact and mega status, I'd say they deserve their spot in music history.
