AC/DC

[waif]

Really mediocre, overplayed hard rock band. Some incredible hooks, but they couldn't write their way out of a paper bag, and I think they're actually incapable of even contemplating a structure other than hook-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-verse-chorus. A lot of their songs sound the same, but that wouldn't be a bad thing if their songs were good.

Plus while Bon Scott was a decent vocalist, Brian Johnson is so laughably bad that poor Scott must be rolling in his grave over his replacement.

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.

Lame attempt at sarcasm.

Well I thought a lame attempt at AC/DC criticism justified it.

I didnt like AC/DC back in the 70's 80's either and was in fact in a cover bar band and refused to play any. I was pompus and liked more "intellegent" music. But today I enjoy AC/DC for partying and its almost mandatory a bar band plays a few AC/DC songs if they want to get the crowd wound up, its just simple fun music that will get the girls out shaking their thing(s) everytime... and what could be more fun than that.

AC/DC are hard rock IMO. Some of their songs are aight. I don't like Brian Johnson's voice.

I confess that at one point of time I though Thunderstruck was the most badass song ever.

 

[mutantllama]

It's obvious that Scott was the superior vocalist.

As much as I dislike ACDC, I do like this one song.

 

[Rommyali]

no, but back in black is #4 on this top 100 Metal albums list.

I like the beginning of it but once Johnson starts to sing, it goes downhill from there.

Do those bands follow the same fucking formula EVERY SINGLE SONG? No. As WAIF said it, they all have the same "hook-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-verse-chorus" song structure. Plus the riffs have little variation and the chorus is made up of repeating the name of the song 4 times. It's fucking boring. The bands I listen to have distinctive songs that don't follow any set formula and don't need to have a repetitive "hook" to carry a song.

What was that early 90's band that sounded similiar, had the song with the chainsaw ?
