AC/DC - abbreviated letters in band names, link to LCD Soundsytem. Just saved you a bollocking from CharlieG there.

Lovely stuff. Not a fan of all their stuff, but this is a Bobby-dazzler. The links can be as tenuous as you like, can’t they?

Gravel voiced trivia fans - they tried to recruit Noddy Holder when Bon Scott died.

They were brought up (pre Sydney) and lived round the corner from my wife's family - in Cranhill, Glasgow.

The Young's are Skerryvore Road, the Sharkey's are Monach Road.

No doubt their Dad was scheming to get out...

Not a fan of the DC

For years I couldn’t get my head round rock music .
I always associated with older kids at school who had stupid sleeveless denim jackets with Rainbow patches sewn on the back and we were the generation of 2 Tone / post punk / new wave .

Wasn’t until I moved to Canada that I started listening to it , default of lack of radio stations and being less compartmentalised.

Not a huge fan but will chuck AC/DC Spotify playlist on when I run , I only know the hits . Makes me laugh now as I did go see a tribute band in the town we lived in outside of Nurnberg 😵‍💫😱
Even more so as I want to do a knock off AD/HD T-shirt 😁

So a solid 7.5/10 . DanKe @Odd_Job

Motorway music a bit like Public Enemy.
Great stuff

I know he s not on this, but Bon Scott died around the corner from where I live, allegedly in a car outside 67 Overhill Rd. Tragic.

I'm partial to a bit of ACDC. Still put on "If you want Blood..." some times.

Also "Problem Child" is my ring tone for my youngest son.

Heavy metal is shit

ACDC is just Chuck Berry style rock and roll, played slightly quicker and really tightly, with added overdrive and volume.

I think they'd like that comparison.

My mate had an ACDC tribute band play at his 50th, we went home when they came on.

I like the hits tho.. And theyre pretty good for a Metal band

Harvest

Metal to me is Saxon, Iron Maiden etc, shit like that. AC/DC seem to have got lumped in along the way. I don't mind the odd track.

I used to like AC/DC back in the day. The Bon Scott years. But as said , all sounds the same!

Loved a bit a ACDC when I was a teenager, but did prefer the Bon Scott stuff TBH. It had a more bluesy tone to it IMO. Not sure why they picked Johnson to replace him, as they did have to change their music a bit to accommodate him. Maybe they did Try and get Noddy.
