The main thing with the really top bands................as much as I hate to say it.........is that they have killer drummers.

(I know some may say that The Beatles are the exception...........)

Phil Rudd was perfect for AC/DC. Sometimes less is more......:cool::thumb:

Quite right.

I remember at the time yelling at drummers to stop playing like Ginger Baker and play like that bloke in AC/DC!

What's wrong with Ginger? Him and John Bonham ,best-drummers-ever

Nuthin!

But when you have guys TRYING to play like them and can't...........well..........you need to set them straight.

 

edit - I see my mistake in the first post.......

Just my humble opinion as an expat.

 

Cold Chisel? Not even close...

 

Australia was (is?) known worldwide for two things and two things only: Crocodile Dundee and AC/DC. The rest is nice to have.

 

Cheers,

Have you really listened, l mean really listened to Ringo drumming  ?  His timing and the right touch when called for, especially his cymbal work, was just right for the songs and have not been bettered for decades.  Just my opinion  ( and its nothing to do with my avatar - l lost my other Beatles avatars )

Oh, don't get me wrong...........I love Ringo's work.

I was just getting in before others started at him.

Yeah, I always thought Ringo got a bad rap.....he was effective for what was needed, rather like Rudd, who was actually very effective.:cool:

The above album arrived yesterday......and does sound excellent. The George Marino remaster series certainly does deliver and this improves on an already great live recording. Good pressing also. Recommended.:thumb:

Well, I assume we're all aware of the rumours and photo's getting around of Brian Johnson and Phil Rudd having a smoke on the balcony at the same Vancouver studio where AC/DC have recorded their last three albums and then photo's of Angus and Stevie having a smoke on the same balcony and another of Rudd and Johnson with Mike Fraser, who mixed their last three albums......and what all this means......and that it has since been confirmed by Angus that there will be a new AC/DC album coming out!!!

According to reports, Angus has a number of tapes of Malcolm playing a lot of riffs and unreleased stuff from the early 2000's that Angus will use/has used to come up with new songs and also use to have Malcolm actually contributing to the new album.....yes, Malcolm Young will be playing on the new AC/DC album!

Pretty excited by these developments and it's fair to say this pending album will obviously be one of the most anticipated albums of the decade.......??.......and thankfully, no Axel Rose!!!

AC/DC.....common sense has prevailed and we salute you!?

That's great news!

 

Even though I'm not a massive AC/DC fan I like them enough that I got a kind of meh feeling the way it seems they ended after the Axl Rose swap. Sort of nice to know they still get along and work together.

 

Cool!

 

Cheers,

This:

https://themusic.com.au/news/us-radio-station-reports-ac-dc-are-set-to-announce-a-world-tour-brian-johnson-is-back/N8gjKyotLC8?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=YDS 120719&utm_content=YDS 120719 CID_91f8411504406e16ef2da01983fa0f1a&utm_source=Daily SPA&utm_term=Are ACDC About To Announce A World Tour With Brian Johnson

 

.....and if the tour happens and Brian Johnson isn't on it (and Phil Rudd for that matter), the tour will be pointless. Let's hope it happens the way we want it and that the reported new album is a great one.?

If you're in Perth next March.....this could be fun.

"Perth will shut down a stretch of one of its highways next year to create a Highway To Hell in honour of AC/DC’s Bon Scott.

The event has been announced as the finale of Perth Festival, with 10km of highway between the Canning and Fremantle traffic bridges closed on March 1 for live performances and more."
