You know, I work with a lot of classic rock fans who really like that band. I, personally, can't stand them (except for, perhaps, the humourous Big Balls). I tone this down slightly by saying I don't care for them when with these folks, but it doesn't change the fact that I can't believe people enjoy them. I mean, it just seems so trailer-trashy to me.
I also am indifferent toward Wolfmother, a new Aussie band.

indeed... AC/DC are garbage... i would be willing to take it a bit further in saying that i'd rather stab myself in the hand with a ball-point pen than have to listen to them.

Gah! You stole my idea! I was totally gonna post that until I flipped over to the second page. Damn the second page to hell!

But, back on topic...I was rather saddened by his death. I only saw his show, like, 10 times, but I liked his character and how badass he was by tackeling snakes and 'gators. Now I can never use that "OY! Its a 'Gater! Lets wrastle it" Joke ever agian

AC/DC rocks all your asses. They rock harder than anyone. And, who can deny the power of their relentless refusal to ever change their sound slightly for anyone at any tme for any reason?

Yeah, he did a shitload for conservation. Him and Terri bought up land all over the place with a lot of the money they made, and stopped it from being logged and destroyed. On a replay of his interview with Andrew Denton last night he said "I reckon the only thing wrong with the land in Australia, is that I don't own it, think about it, if I owned it, can you imagine all the animals I could save?" He's actually surprisingly articulate too. Very strong personality. I Thought he was invincible.

Ooh and another joke I heard today:
"It's his own fault, he could have avoided it by wearing sunscreen"
"how so?"
"Don't you know? It protects you from rays"

Oh, and

Ergh, please don't. That term is not to be used. It's like full stops being called periods. Correct term maybe. But doesn't always go down so well.

sure you can!

you just have to add one more line to it.

"OY! Its a 'Gater! Lets wrastle it, for Steve!"

also, I will occasionally admit to liking ACDC, but it's a guilty pleasure! I swear! Like listening to DragonForce, or Flock of Seagulls!

Man it's like Bush v Kerry with the flip-flops again. Since when is stuborness a virtue and change a fault? Other artists change with time without compramising their art (take Disturbed for example). AC/DC should have learned their sound* was crappy and changed it.

Flock of Seagulls are fantastic***.

I miss you Steve.

Ah, its a big killer, the old smily intolerance. Also known as the "non-english defence mechanism".
Right up there with lactose intolerance, which is anti-cow. Amongst ohter things.

And who says that changing style constantly sucks?
what about this guy?

Ah wait, this is about musicians, not wankers and tosspots.

My mistake.
