Another A-Z fave band challenge thing

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Hahaha.

To me, Jackyl's production, guitar sound, riffs, solos, lyrics, etc... are IDENTICAL to AC/DC's! And the vocalist is an exact mix between Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. He's lower parts have the exact Bon Scott character and accent, and the higher screamier parts are identical to Brian Johnson! Hahaha!

Cinderella and Britny Fox have a slightly more polished '80s production and some cleaner vocal sections, but again, I think its pretty damn similar. The first time I heard Cinderella (it was the song Night Songs) I thought it was something off one of the '80s AC/DC albums I hadn't heard.

Have you heard Jackyl?!?!?!?!? They're identical!!!!!

And I mean, chuck on an album like "Night Songs" by Cinderella and then put on one like "Flick Of The Switch" or "Fly On The Wall" and see what I mean how its very similar!

 

[Spiff]

I haven't heard Jackyl - I was referring to Cinderella. You're mad.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Bahhhh. I'm not mad, very similar! I'm not saying identical like Jackyl are though. All I'm saying is that I would imagine AC/DC fans to like Cinderella's music (if they don't see what they look like lol) and vice versa.

 

[JonBonJovi]

Yes the troops myster is one strange mother fucker!
His definition and comparisons some times freak me out!

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

&^$)&#@^_%@

Tonci back me up here!!! Night Songs and Britny Fox's debut have HUGE influences of AC/DC on them! HUGE! Their albums after that had a more unique direction of their own, but both bands' debuts are very AC/DCish!

I can't imagine die-hard Acca Dacca fans running out to buy the "Nobody's Fool" single

Yes well I wouldn't use that song as a good example though, as its the only ballad on the album. Since when do AC/DC write ballads?

If Cinderella didn't look so glammy though, I would imagine nearly all AC/DC fans getting into stuff like Shake Me, Night Songs, Nothin For Nothin, Push Push, etc... Just as I would imagine people who like those songs getting into Given The Dog A Bone, What Do You Do For Money Honey, Flick Of The Switch, Who Made Who, For Those About To Rock, etc.

 

[Spiff]

Cinderella will always be a glam band, and always have a glam sound, to me, so it's tough for me to imagine die-hard AC/DC fans buying their stuff. But hey, they were my favourite band for about a month in 1989. Must dig out that best-of I've got somewhere and have another listen.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

I think Cinderella were more a hard rock band with a glam image to be honest. Their sound was nowhere near as glamourous as the LA bands.

 

[Icarus]

I reckon Cinderella most definately do have an AC/DC sounding quality to them. Night songs anyway. I havent heard any other albums. I mean the singer sounds very acdcish and the music is acdcish as well in some parts. So in conclusion it has ac/dc infuences


And this fella agrees to!

 

[spawn]

The first Cinderella album has a definite acdcish quality to it

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Yes And wouldn't you agree that if you love Night Songs, it would be hard not to like AC/DC stuff?

 

[spawn]

Yep, for sure, but I dont know about the other way around though

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Yeah I know coz the glam image especially would put off AC/DC fans.

But the original comment was that I find it strange that Xena doesn't like AC/DC if she loves Cinderella, Britny Fox and especially Jackyl hehe. Jackyl sound like an AC/DC tribute band with different songs. Or.... AC/DC themselves playing new songs haha!

 

[Icarus]

You have to admit though..the Cinderella guys look pretty sexy on the cover of night songs! hahaah!
