i don't recommend that album because the early tracks are all remixed and not the original 70's versions
I love them but i consider them Metal for their time and in metal history in general... Thunderstruck was on the radio today when i was driving fast on the parkway...
Exactly, about your last sentence. As for Brian Johnson albums, I like them all up to Fly on the Wall and a couple after that...
A really stupid statement...
They are Australian and not from the UK.. other then that i agree with your statements about them... i must be drunk for saying that lol
Wasnt Australia English settled... part of the old UK ? I dont really know, I just know they talk like limeys... lol. No insult there BTW, Im totally of English, Irish and Scots decent
Yah they were... but that was ages ago... Australia hasn't been part of the UK since officially 1986 when the broke ties with the British Parliament... but really they haven't been part of the UK more or less since 1901 when they became their own thing... but anyways Australian accents to me are distinctive over British ones...

Yeah, and I always refer to American bands as Spanish because of Christopher Columbus.
Ok so assuming your history is correct, AC/DC was from the United Kingdom. I should have said that is why I used UK in the first place... because I wasnt sure if they were Brit or Aussie. English accents vary in England itself as they do in the US. I wasnt going to get into that, none the less the dialect, pronounciation and demeanor of the language itself is closely tied.

Good twisted and meaningless response, who would expect any less from you ? So your an Aussie smart ass, was Austrailia part of the UK in the 70's or not ? Maybe I should have used British empire ? What fucking ever, I was just uncertain by memory where exactly they were from, big fucking deal. Everything about them screamed Brit to me same as I'd assume everything about ZZ top screams the States, the southwest infact but I wouldnt expect someone not from the US to know the difference. Texas itself likes to think of themselves as a entirely different country, but alas they are but one state.
Ironically with continued current trends it may eventually be very possible to consider the states spanish

Oh come on, there's really no need to get so butthurt.
Firstly, the Australian accent is very different to all of the different accents in the UK. Secondly, Australia hasn't been "part of the UK" since federation in 1901. Whether we still had political ties with England in the seventies is irrelevant. An Australian band would never be referred to as being from the UK. AC/DC do however live there now and have a British vocalist, and the Young brothers were born there, so I can see where confusion would arise. The early stuff with Bon Scott sounds like Australia to me though, but I guess I'm biased. I grew up with AC/DC all around me. The legendary clip for "It's a Long Way to the Top" was shot through the centre of Melbourne, with the band on the back of a flat bed truck. Faaaarkin Austraylian maaaate.
And yeah I agree ZZ Top sound like southern rock, I know this because American culture is everywhere over here. I probably know just as much about your country as you do. Americans however are renowned for knowing nothing about anything outside their own country.

Not butt hurt, I admitted I was covering my ass useing UK because of my uncertainty, I initially had written England and something in the back of my head said "Im not so sure they were from England, could have been one of the other English areas". I would make the joke of why should Americans know much about much outside of our country ? Its not exactly one of the areas that has its people fleeing by the hords. Regardless, concerning the thought of who know what about what countries I've seen some wild assumptions concerning mine.
Now if someone is American ZZ does not sound like Southern rock. There is differences between the sound of the mid to south east, the southwest and the mid-western from that earlier period. Much harder today with the melding of influences. So not much different there than AC/DC sounding very British to me. I would guess Austrailians were more in tune to less popular English acts early on than people in the States ?

Fair enough, if that's what you think then I don't really care. As long as you've at least taken in that they are (or were) from Australia, and that Australia isn't actually part of the UK.
Didn't I say that already?
Pretty much but it needed repeating, because he clearly hadn't taken it in.
Yeah I'm well aware it's a generalisation.
Not that different, ya'll have a screwed up way of pronunciation where as in America everyone pronunciates every word the exact same way, the right way.... and its nearly impossible to determine what area of the States someone is from.
So come on, say it again because I clearly havent taken it in...... just wish I could remember... what
Im going to start classes next week that study the various syllable accents from different regions across the pond that were strongly populated by the English.
I take it its an insult to Australians to be associated with the English ? Or having been part of the English empire ? Probably just like the people of Hong Kong have no relation to the English what so ever.
I know something about Australia, theres lots of flies, poisonous snakes, crocs, Aboriginese people, dingos, rabbit fences, an extremely large species of rabbit with long tail, long straight roads, cities, people, funny language not associated with that of the English, former home of AC/DC born of English parents, and one Satanstoenail. Highly cultured am I........ lol
So anyhow, would you say that Australians may have been more in tune to more obscure English bands than the US during the 60's and 70's ? (thats like a marketing question)
Does Angus's wardrobe have something to do with school uniform ?
think I asked these before ???

i agree zz top is not real southern rock sounding to actual americans. more like heavy rock with a texas boogie thrown in
Oh please. You and me are both from NY and we can tell that someone is from the South or Midwest and that they do not pronounce every word the same as us.
But I just love satire way too much especially when it slams home
but even more amusing when no one gets it...........

Except that what you posted doesn't really fit the definition of satire. It's just a stupid and purportedly less than serious bunch of idiocy.
