Opinion of AC/DC

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Easily the best non-North American, non-Brit hard rock band.



(I added the "North" part to American because one could make a damn good case for Rush, even though I'm less of a fan)

I can't stand Rush because the vocals are soooooooooooo bad, and their fans are usually such douchebags. In fact I think this sums up the typical Rush fan pretty well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eubi9YI2dKE

Is someone seriously bashing Rush!?

I'd seriously rather listen to Attack Attack! or Bring Me The Horizon than Rush (not quite My Chemical Romance though).

     LOL Attack Attack. That's harsh.

I'll admit that for all the well deserved ridicule of the infamous "crabcore" song, it actually starts off with a pretty good breakdown, and is pretty good from about a minute in to roughly 1:45, especially the breakdowns. So it's not really a bad song if you take out the clean vocals, synth crap and how hilariously stupid the band looks. Also as I noted before the lyrics are awesome.

cue the angus...

AC/DC:  two thumbs up. 

angus on Angus

About 30 seconds in the guitar work started annoying the f**k out of me. It got worse around 1:15. Once the vox kicked in it was unbearable.

You should listen to stuff with melody and good songwriting, not guitar wankery and awful vox (the vox in both of those songs are WAY better than either Rush or Megadeth and are far from just "mindless screaming" or whatever.)

If you seriously think that so-called "guitar wankery" is the only motivation for why people like metal music then you are seriously closeted.

But, BUT, I will say that the two songs you posted are surprisingly in pretty good taste for what I expected from you.  Especially the second one.

So congratulations, you have won a little bit of respect from Mechaman.  Now the only thing you have left to do in life is win back the old man's respect.

At least AC/DC and Rush have intelligible lyrics as opposed to "AAAAAAAWAAAAAAAOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA MOSHPIT"

[Username MechaRFK]

AC/DC and intelligent lyrics don't belong in the same sentence.

Intelligible. Otherwise his post would make literally no sense due to including "Rush" and "intelligent" in the same sentence.

Exactly.

Though some of the earlier AC/DC songs are a little witty.

The songs I posted earlier have unintelligible lyrics and nothing but insane screaming?

     Whatever floats your boat. For me, that song is literally less interesting than watching paint dry.

If you call AC/DC gay and lame, you're now on my enemy list.

Mech makes me want to have babies with him for his responses. Just sayin

[Dancing with Myself]

AC/DC is an okay band but I prefer other bands over them anyday.

After Who Made Who (their first post Bon Scott best of album) in 86, everything they've done has varied from trite to annoying. Even more annoying is the practice of classic rock radio format driving the same dozen+ songs into our head every hour on the hour. I could die quite happy if I never here You Shook Me All Night Long again. That's a song I loved in high school, college and law school, but stopped enjoying quite so much after litterally the 3000th+ time I heard it played on the radio.

That said, I still crank Whole Lotta Rosie up to 11 when it comes on.....

It's why I almost never listen to music on the radio.  It sucks at picking songs I like.

 Epic Freedom Band. Anyone who says otherwise has horrible taste in music.

generally negative but Big Balls is a fun listen once or twice a year and brings back fond memories of my Spring semester Freshman year... perhaps my most fun semester.

It's kind of self-explanatory. Just pretend that it's a hyperbolic representation using a person instead of Chester Cheetah.
