AC/DC: Classic or Dud

I guess it's kinda hard to guess where Rudd's head is at given his history

Fun fact: Rudd was the only Australian born member of the blockbuster era.

i love the Bon era the best

but overall with this band I think the joy of relistening as a longtime fan now is that there is a lot of joy in their music, and how the fun IS that it’s not really “about” anything. And lately for me on a musical level, marvelling how the whole rhythm section is *so* locked in, solid as a fucking rock, with these perfect spaces to support Bon’s showmanship, or Angus’s solos, or fuckin bagpipes or whatever

it’s a thing of beauty imo

Booming post, cosign 100%.

oowerage is so so awesome, Chris otm

There is a 2 part ABC documentary about Alberts LTD which covers from the 60s with the Easybeats through AC/DC that is on Youtube that is worth a view. It is like many of these RNR documentaries but the Australian view point is pretty novel to me, especially seeing some of the other acts covered in the show like Rose Tattoo. The part where Young and Vanda was using drum tape loops to make tracks was interesting.

First tour since 2016, I guess. But just Brian and Angus as anchors. No Cliff or Phil.

Phil Rudd has not toured with them for fourteen years tbf

(four years before his meth / murder-for-hire legal complications)

(and Cliff retired from the band aged 67, so not touring at age 74 for an album that he popped back to record for a few weeks in 2018 is not much surprise)

And Malcolm is dead. I know *why*, doesn't make it much better. But Cliff did play with them at that Power Trip show back in October, so there was a possibility.

Aw man why is this thread not called "AC/DC C/D"? Someone really slipped up there.

Makes me really nervous when two separate threads about aging artists get bumped.

tbf this the rare band where it's unusual when something bad *doesn't* happen to them.

the current Mitsubishi commercial has done the impossible and actually made me dislike "Thunderstruck"

AC/DC C/D S/D
