Do you guys consider AC/DC as a metal band. Ive heard lots that they are pioneers of Heavy Metal.

I'm incredibly neutral on ACDC. I don't particularly like them, but I don't cringe when I hear them either...

 

[Inso]

They are a fucking awesome hard rock band.

Fixed.

Certainly not metal by any means, but they have made some damn fine albums throughout their career.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Probably my least favorite band ever along with Van Halen. Puke

They do have a footprint in the early evolution between hardrock and metal which was not the fine line thats been drawn, twisted and moved all over hells acre during the decades. They were considered part of the metal scene on the more commercial side in those early years. Laugh or poke all you want, cant change history but does indicate some ignorance of it. Today they can clearly be seen as blues based hardrockers but "metal" evolved in part out of the rowdy hardrock scene.

Angus may well have been one of the first extreme "headbangers" LOL

AC/DC is great after you've had 15 beers and drink liqour. That's really when they're awesome. All of the sudden everyone likes AC/DC.

 

[Bitencourt29]

They are a great band, it doesn't really matter what kind of music they play (no, they're not a metal band). Fact is they deserve respect, their gigs are always fun and albums like Back in Black just can't be ignored.

 

[WCannibal]

I used to like them but then I grew up and realized that all songs sound the same and now I absolutely hate them. Also, they're not metal.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Yes, I can tell you have a real thing for diversity with bands such as Deathspell Omega, Bloodbath, Cryptopsy, and many other genre-jumping black and death metal bands in your last.fm list.

I like AC/DC. I saw them live last year. I wore a "Back in Black" shirt today. They are hard/blues rock.
