Nice, enjoy!

Thanks man.


It will be the first show of the North American leg of the tour, so at least they will be somewhat fresh. Vintage Trouble is opening up for them. I saw them a couple of years ago when they toured with The Who. They are pretty good. Upbeat blues rock band. I know that sounds a little weird, but picture a Nashville gospel sound combined with Mississippi blues.

Or, you can check this out instead.

I saw AC/DC (and Vintage Trouble) a few months ago, and Vintage Trouble were indeed great. Very energetic.

I haven't heard anyone explain why AC/DC rocks better than Rick Rubin.

When I was in junior high, my classmates all liked Led Zeppelin. But I loved AC/DC. I got turned on to them when I heard them play "Problem Child" on The Midnight Special. Like Zeppelin, they were rooted in American R&B, but AC/DC took it to a minimal extreme that had never been heard before. Of course, I didn't know that back then. I only knew that they sounded better than any other band.

For AC/DC, rock began with Chuck Berry and ended around Elvis. They poured their lifeblood into that groove, and they mastered it. Highway to Hell is probably the most natural-sounding rock record I've ever heard. There's so little adornment. Nothing gets in the way of the push-and-pull between the guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young, bassist Cliff Williams and drummer Phil Rudd. For me, it's the embodiment of rock & roll.

When I'm producing a rock band, I try to create albums that sound as powerful as Highway to Hell. Whether it's the Cult or the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I apply the same basic formula: Keep it sparse. Make the guitar parts more rhythmic. It sounds simple, but what AC/DC did is almost impossible to duplicate. A great band like Metallica could play an AC/DC song note for note, and they still wouldn't capture the tension and release that drive the music. There's nothing like it.

The other thing that separates AC/DC as a hard-rock band is that you can dance to their music. They didn't play funk, but everything they played was funky. And that beat could really get a crowd going. I first saw them play in 1979 at Madison Square Garden, before their singer Bon Scott died and was replaced by Brian Johnson. The crowd yanked all the chairs off the floor and piled them into a pyramid in front of the stage. It was a tribute to how great they were.

I'll go on record as saying they're the greatest rock & roll band of all time. They didn't write emotional lyrics. They didn't play emotional songs. The emotion is all in that groove. And that groove is timeless.

I don't care what that homeless looking cunt of a producer thinks. AC/DC got nothing on Deep Purple or Sabbath.

Today this masterpiece turns 41 years old

why did I never hear this until yesterday

kyuss is definitely the best sabbath ripoff

 

[Nzoric]

Not exactly a rip off, but the influence is thick. Love Hommes riffing

 

[ZoSo]

yeah, but pretty heavily Sabbath inspired though. They kind of remind me of Zeppelin a bit in their sheer power.

I never thought I'd see the day... well it hasn't happened yet

 

[s4tch]

^that should have happened like 10 years ago. now that axl has no voice left, and slash delivers cool records with myles kennedy, i don't care too much about a gnr reunion tbh.

 

[ZoSo]

same but still kind of surprising... or maybe not $$$$$$$

 

[KB824]

Yeah, I am so there when it happens.

In other news, going to see Sabbath on August 25th

This cover band I had when I was younger used to play Green Machine and 100*. Great stuff.

Btw If you're looking for another Sabbath sounding band here's a recommendation. Saw them open for Porcupine Tree in 10', powerful energetic live act I must add.
