I don't know what I'd be more disappointed with, knowing it was set up for publicity or knowing it was real

And JJ in the back ground crying about how he retired and other rock stars should bow out as gracefully as he did.
Am I misunderstanding this? Did he say grunge was rearing it's head in 85?

I believe that is what he is saying. But as its not definitively described what he's describing may be slightly different. Grunge is a really old term used to describe music, but Sub Pop, the label often noted for bringing what we know as grunge to the market first used the word on a 1987 album by Green River apparently so to suggest grunge was coming through in 85 may not be entirely wrong.

Yeah I think he might be over exaggerating that a bit. I'm sure they were making an impact. I'm sure other genres were making an impact and maybe a few sales went to bands that AC/DC might otherwise have got if those bands weren't there but the 80's was a huge time for AC/DC. Even there lower selling albums like Flick Of The Switch (which wasn't their best effort) was selling well. In 84 AC/DC headlined Donington above Ozzy, Van Halen and Motley Crue, to suggest they were suffering by '85 because of a genre that was stronger at the time in America than anywhere else does seem a bit odd.

That's one band I've really struggled with over the years. Their first few albums were good, but then they really didn't grow as a band. Their last album was not terrible but it still sounds like they haven't achieved anything since that second or third album.

In other words he will come back if asked but he'd like the chance to tell the world that they came back grovelling at his feet and telling him how they need a guitar god and he's the only one that can do it.
I know some bands were described as having a grungy sort of sound but Hard Rock dominated that scene pretty completely and AC/DC was one of the kings even the albums that weren't as big, as you have said. A band like Soundgarden were about as under the radar as it got in the mid 80's. I didn't realize AC/DC billed over Ozzy.
