Has to be said all the Aussie rock bands sound like ACDC - Rose Tattoo, Angel City, and the tribute band Airbourne (who are fab by the way) - so nothing wrong with copying ACDC!
My favourite Band of all time, it dosent matter how im feeling they always cheer me up and get me rocking lol! AC/DC feels like i belong, gives me confidence, makes me laugh with Bons clever use of lyrics lol! and im in tottal amazment all the while watching them ;) This is the home of
@MrGuitarbike i can say what i like! That dosent make me any less of a rocker, That is just your opinon which is fair enough but does not make it true ;) rock music especially AC/DC are about having a good time and i always do when i listen to them while being astounded by whars happening, of course im going to lol if im happy
Poor Bon, he lived the dream of being a rock star but never lived to see what he or ac/dc actually became, that was, one of the greatest rock bands on earth.
Look at the American band Van Halen. They have 2 Dutch brothers in the band, but Van Halen are rightly known as an American band because that`s where the band formed and started, in America. It`s the same with AC/DC, the band formed in Australia. They are a product of Australian society.
@nzoz1976 and those Dutch brothers are way more American than they are Dutch. Angus Young still speaks with the classic Aussie ocker accent - a style you don't get from today's young Aussies.
The kind you hear from some older Australian seniors, mostly in their 50's and 60's... a more laid-back working class twang. Paul Hogan has it too. I grew up in the same areas of Sydney that the Young brothers lived in and I don't hear that style from those under 50. Younger Aussies speak with a little more announcement these days.
@nzoz1976 Oi Ryan, you forgot to mention Bob Hawke - the epitome of the classic Australian Larrikinism!
Interesting comment. My grandfather had an Aussie accent similar to the kind you're describing, and although I am a descendent of the 'Prisoners Of Her Majesty' (the longest standing white Australian citizens), I must say Angus Young's Aussie accent is a lot stronger than my elder relatives that live in the rural areas.
You gotta live in this country to get that accent.
Please, put forward a Scottish band that had the look and sound of AC/DC or had some similar traits that could not be arguably AC/DC-like. Make sure these bands were before or around AC/DC's time, and don't mention fucking Nazareth and Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Really, put forward a Scottish band that were as heavy duty as AC/DC. I can name, at least, five Aussie bands from this period who were in the same vein as AC/DC. Billy Thorpe and Lobby Loydd began it, Rose Tatto continued it..
@nzoz1976 Don't ask for Scottish rock bands then say "don't mention....", OK, give us some Aussie rock bands that we know and don't mention ACDC and Rose Tattoo - Ditto!
I know too much about Aussie music. I know enough to be objective and unbiased. There was a heavy-rock-blues circle of bands playing around the country, to very tough pub environments. If you don't know who Billy Thorpe, Lobby Loydd, Masters Apprentices, or Buster Brown are, then you know fuck all about AC/DC and should restrain from commenting. There were choices. Sell records to teenage girls (Sherbet for good girls/Skyhooks for bad girls), sell records to old people (Helen Reddy) or pub
I fell over laughing at this Scotsman the other day who kept ranting on about Talking Heads being Scottish. I told him they were from New York and he yelled 'but the TALENT IS FROM SCoTLAND, SON! David Byrne IS SCOTTISH'... when I asked about Cold Chisel and Men At Work (both having Scottish frontmen), he replied 'yew can hev 'em fookin' sods'!
No Aussie or Yank has shit on the Limey's when it comes to good music. With the exception of the Velvet Underground, you Brits have literally given us everything good.
@19volks71 the British Invasion changed American sound to my understanding however modern music was rooted deeply in jazz and blues and somewhat branched out from the there (as far as American popular music is concerned). I think the U.S. had it pretty well down on the jazz/blues circuit however the British Invasion did help to improve the sound of American music if I have my history right.
@shaithis80 You make a great point. Most of those guys (take Cream for instance) were lifting songs straight off the old American blues artists and stretching and distorting them in magnificent ways. It was that combination of old blues (especially Robert Johnson), drugs and energy though that created the product delivered to us by the Brits that I am so fond of. Thanks for pointing that out.
@19volks71 no problemo. I did take a music appreciation jazz and American popular course back in my college days because I was a fan of music and wanted to expand my historical knowledged of it. Drugs/Alcohol did in fact fuel it however we also lost a lot of greats across the spectrum that could've done a lot more had they been living today. I'm actually listening to Hot Tuna at the moment so I tend to go back and forth between the latest and back in time to when music meant something.
@19volks71 I seem to appreciate the '50's, '60's, and '70's decades not only because of the music but because of some of the movies that came out back then. Granted the '80's and '90's had their place to and I have my selections among the punk/hardcore metal from that time frame including certain selections from 2000 on. Plenty to choose from and I still like to hunt from stuff on CD/Tape. Happy listening and a belated happy 2012 to ya.
Man some bitchty BRITTS HERE!!! HUH IN TEXAS WE JUST LOVED THE MUSIC ... YOU BOYS GO FUCK EACH OTHER .... HUM BRITTISH EMPIRE ... GREAT WORK YALL DID ... AND AUSTRALIA BRITTS SCUM PRISON ISLAND .... GO NUKE A GAY WHALE FOR JESUS YOU PRICKS
@shaithis80 Considering Bryan Johnson did nothing but strain the hell out of his voice to imitate that Bon Scott sound, I'd say they did. But hey, who gives a shit.
@19volks71 regardless, AC/DC just kept right on going and seemed to still enjoy commerical success. Yeah who gives a shit. They are pretty much established. You either buy their latest music or you don't. I preferred Bon Scott anyway but Bon Scott fucked up and paid the consequences resulting in his own death. That's life in rock 'n roll and we've lost a lot of great people due to their fucked up habits. And the music keeps a comin'.
Im guessing all you people out there are rock fans just like me, I have just opened a free online radio in which im going to play rock on everynight starting now, Im currently playing Led zepplin - Stairway to heaven,below is a link where you can listen, copy and paste it into your browser and make sure you replace the (dot) with an actual dot :)

1:41 bon's too tight denim shorts, no wonder he was popular with the ladies! Had the pleasure of seeing the AC/DC exibit in Glasgow last week, if you're a dedicated fan and in Scotland you HAVE to go see this. They have Bon's passport and some handwritten letters on display.
When Ronald Belford Scott moved to Australia, there was already someone in class at school with the same name so he needed a nickname and so Bonnie Scotland it was.
Angus, Bon & Malcolm are indeed Scottish, but AC/DC are without a shadow of a doubt an Australian band.
they look like the texas chainsaw massacre family minus the big fat dude with human skin on his face.....if you ran around in those jean shorts in 2011 with no shirt on someone would for sure call the police and say there was a suspected pedophile in the area lol
@ltuomela I agree.... I only rave on about AC/DC being a product of oz rock-hard-blues scene (which originally launched by Manchester-born-Aussie-Rock Billy Thorpe and Aussie-born-Aussie-rocker Lobby Loydd) because the petty claims made by the British....
Who fuckin' cares... it's Rock 'n' Roll! It doesn't fucking matter where it is from.
And that goes to all you insecure-small-minded British patriots who build their self-esteem on the mere fact AC/DC members were born around your area.
There were a lot of Aussie bands that had two or three British born members (Skyhooks, Easybeats, Men At Work, Loved OnesChurch, AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Little River Band, Air Supply, etc)... I used to think the British counter-part elevated the music, somehow... but then looking at the full-blown 100% Aussie-breed groups (Midnight Oil, INXS, Birthday Party, Rose Tattoo), it makes sense to me that it means shit where people actually come from, providing they can delver the goods... so who cares?
just to add, many of these Aussie bands (with a few Brit members) came about due to the British immigration scheme in the 1950's. The same boat that got the Bee Gees in Australia also bought over Skyhooks' guitarist Red Symonds... who you ask? Never mind, just somebody who played in a locally famous band that you wouldn't bother claiming due to their lack of international success. We can see through it and it is a bit of a laugh to us - seeing as they were famous in our area a few years prior
Of course they`re an Aussie band. The band formed in Australia. They`re a product of Australian society. You don`t say Van Halen are a Dutch band because their drummer and guitarist were born in Holland do you? Van Halen are American because that`s where they formed. you don`t say the sex pistols are an Irish band because Johnny Rotten was born in Ireland. The Pstols are an English band because that`s were they started. It`s the same with ac/dc. They formed in Australia
@ManFromMelbourne But Angus, Malcolm and Bon were born in Scotland and because they got to be internationally famous, the Scottish care and so they should!!! I mean, here we are saying that a band that formed in Australia and were a product of that country's raw blues-rock scene, when clearly the proud Scots can see themselves in their beloved ex patriots. Never mind that we haven't seen a Scottish band do what they do (Nazareth?) and never mind that this shit was potent in OZ... they're scots
we r all decsendants from fkn scottland, ireland etc etc, thanks to her majesty..other than our aboriginals, but we r all fkn proud aussies..& its how we grew up and made something of ourselves that makes us stand tall...AUSSIE PRIDE
we r all decsendants from fkn scottland, ireland etc etc, thanks to her majesty..but we r all fkn proud aussies..& its how we grew up and made something of ourselves that makes us stand tall...AUSSIE PRIDE
Poor bloody Scots. I imagine when you come from a country as wet and cold as Scotland, and they see our great Aussie weather (except Melbourne, most times) they feel a little envious. Never mind. When a Scot does arrive here we make them feel most welcome. You can understand why the Scots try to claim ACDC as their own. They are the greatest band ever. They belong to the World. But they are Aussie.
Australian,Scottish, English, or whatever. ACDC claimed to be, and rightly so, to be an Australian Band. If you come here, want to be here by choice, and are accepted and possess the correct citizenship papers. Then you are an Aussie. They joined the list of many hundreds of thousands from the world over wishing to become an Aussie. ACDC AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE.
@MrFrontlinefred thanx... plus, Angus has an Aussie accent.. Bon had an Aussie accent... Bon's ashes are scattered on Aussie soil... I know I'm sounding blindly patriotic an shit, but it does make me cringe a little when I see the Scots being petty and small minded by trying hard to claim the entire band. AC/DC just wouldn't have happened if their families didn't migrate to Australia. The Easybeats were talented migrants, but it all happened in Australia - same with AC/DC.
However, although there has been a talented Aussie-born folks that have written great songs, performed great shows and have recorded wonder records, let's just take into consideration that AC/DC (like Cold Chisel) has a distinctive Scottish-flavour - something that can also be heard in the great Scottish group The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. I do believe that things would be a little different if all members of AC/DC were, say, third generation Australian.
I keep saying this and I'm sure it's being ignored by all these hard-up AC/DC fans who most likely want to ignore the fact that AC/DC were a product of the Australian rock scene, sound and attitude, which was started by Lobby Loydd and Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs (circa 1969) and continued through bands such as Buster Brown (featuring Phi Rudd), and later Cold Chisel and Rose Tattoo. AC/DC are a mix of Scottish talent mixed in with the Aussie hard-rock scene.
@MrCrumbsinthebutter Yeah riiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhhhttttttttt......... and then the same thing is said to Americans about Native Americans, they quicky shut the fuck up.
It's not where you're born that matters its the dust dirt air leaves bushfires breezes and people and the like that form who you are....especially true for that era and before the world went global via the net!
Australians desperate for the slightest recognition, because the country has produced fuck all worth talkin about! Embarrassing! Even the really talentless like Kylie have to go to the UK to make it, because Australia is still soooo backward it doesn't have a music industry that anyone cares about outside the country! ACDC were Scots who were unfortunate to be living in Australia. Period!
@entraildivider ever hear of Rose Tattoo or Buffalo? you can argue about where AC/DC hails from.... but to put down Australia is to put down MANY other great bands........ open your fucking eyes, man.....dont get caught up in that bullshit.... music must unite the people.... not divide
ACDC. The first band to use bagpipes in a rock and roll format. Col Joy was the first to use a typewriter. ACDC THE GREATEST AUSSIE BAND EVER !!!!!!!!!!
I love the way they run and joke around the streets in this video... AC/DC are surely awesome, hard, loud on stage but they can be soooo cute offstage!! :3
Scott's are true bad asses,it's not a gimmick! And for the music end of things well? Nuff said there really talented. Member Big Country 80'? No comparison to the all mighty AC/DC. I gotta tell ya I grew up from a teenager in the 70's and I used to get really stoned and jam to AC/DC. They been around a long time! Jus like me LOL
lol who gives a fuck where they were born, they rock! Scots are mongrel Irish and continentals, the English are the mongrelest (new word there) bastards in Europe and Australian...well the word "Ostraliyan" actually means "absolute fuckin mongrel bred cunt and proud of it"...
Angus came to Australia when he was 7 and Malcolm was 10, Bon Scott was just 6!
This means they spent their most crucial developmental years growing up in Australia. I cam here when i was 7 and as far as i know i'm Australian, i barely remember life before coming here. Johnson and williams are both British but they joined the band way after it was established. Rudds australian and i think quite clearly so is AC/DC
@jeskar0407 Gotta admit, growing up in the mTV generation (80's) I think we got alot of nice stuff from it, but missed alot of nice stuff too. never heard this side of AC/DC. Very cool sound. never knew they sounded like this.
Thats the secret to Australia - if you grow up there, and want to be Australian, then you are...... THis was an Australian band - just look at the bloody clip!!. This song - gutsy text, raw rock and the bagpipe - SENSATIONAL!!!!!
Regardless. They were Australian. They were, and are athe greatest Australian rock band ever. Maybe one was scottish as a kid, but he grew up Aussie. They are recognised as Aussies. Sorry mate. Don't choke on your Haggis while your singing Donald, where's your troosers? (trousers), and without bagpipes as well.
@MrFrontlinefred I've read comments from people denying Thin Lizzy as an Irish band due to Phil Lynott being black (what the fuck does that have to do with anything), the guitarist being American and the other guitarist being Scottish, etc, etc. The comments 'if it wasn't for us your irish legends wouldn't exist'...
Funny enough, I never heard any of the Dutch claiming half of Van Halen. Fair play that Brian Jonson is British and they've been an international thing for 30 years... but fuck!
@nzoz1976 i'll tell you why the Dutch haven't claimed their half of VH......they are drunken drugaddicts who lost their heads and talent with the coming of the 21st century. and i should know, i am a big VH fan and have heard them live.
@MrFrontlinefred Pay attention son. Angus Young,Malcolm Young & Bon Scott were all born in Scotland! Oh yeah so was George Young, the greatest "Australian" songwriter of all time. And one last thing. In London, the unofficial Aussie anthem is " I come from a land down under". The writer and singer of that song was Colin Hay of Glasgow! HaHa! He even live in Los Angeles now which makes it even funnier. You really need us Scots dont you?
@MrFrontlinefred Angus and Malcom are Scottish, both were born in Scotland. Brian Johnson is from Newcastle so hes English, Cliff Williams was born in England so hes English, Phil Rudd is the only aussie in the band right now. But they formed in Australia so they are a Australian band.
@tatethompson1234 G'day Tate, I have not denied their ancestry. They (AC DC) referred to themselves as an Australian band. We accepted them as Aussies, We recognised them as Aussies as did the rest of the world.
I think those nationalities claiming them as their own are a little pissed that these guys (including the Aussie bloke) had the opportunity to immigrate to the this great free land where you can be whatever you want to be. AC DC, they belong to the world, but were an Aussie band.
@MrFrontlinefred you can tell how much Australian music made them who they are, just look up a band called "The Angels" the have the same sort of riffs + singing
who cares, they rock.

There were a lot of Aussie bands that had two or three British born members (Skyhooks, Easybeats, Men At Work, Loved OnesChurch, AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Little River Band, Air Supply, etc)... I used to think the British counter-part elevated the music, somehow... but then looking at the full-blown 100% Aussie-breed groups (Midnight Oil, INXS, Birthday Party, Rose Tattoo), it makes sense to me that it means shit where people actually come from, providing they can delver the goods... so who cares?
nzoz1976 4 months ago 2
just to add, many of these Aussie bands (with a few Brit members) came about due to the British immigration scheme in the 1950's. The same boat that got the Bee Gees in Australia also bought over Skyhooks' guitarist Red Symonds... who you ask? Never mind, just somebody who played in a locally famous band that you wouldn't bother claiming due to their lack of international success. We can see through it and it is a bit of a laugh to us - seeing as they were famous in our area a few years prior

Of course they`re an Aussie band. The band formed in Australia. They`re a product of Australian society. You don`t say Van Halen are a Dutch band because their drummer and guitarist were born in Holland do you? Van Halen are American because that`s where they formed. you don`t say the sex pistols are an Irish band because Johnny Rotten was born in Ireland. The Pstols are an English band because that`s were they started. It`s the same with ac/dc. They formed in Australia

@ManFromMelbourne But Angus, Malcolm and Bon were born in Scotland and because they got to be internationally famous, the Scottish care and so they should!!! I mean, here we are saying that a band that formed in Australia and were a product of that country's raw blues-rock scene, when clearly the proud Scots can see themselves in their beloved ex patriots. Never mind that we haven't seen a Scottish band do what they do (Nazareth?) and never mind that this shit was potent in OZ... they're scots

Poor bloody Scots. I imagine when you come from a country as wet and cold as Scotland, and they see our great Aussie weather (except Melbourne, most times) they feel a little envious. Never mind. When a Scot does arrive here we make them feel most welcome. You can understand why the Scots try to claim ACDC as their own. They are the greatest band ever. They belong to the World. But they are Aussie.
MrFrontlinefred 6 months ago
Australian,Scottish, English, or whatever. ACDC claimed to be, and rightly so, to be an Australian Band. If you come here, want to be here by choice, and are accepted and possess the correct citizenship papers. Then you are an Aussie. They joined the list of many hundreds of thousands from the world over wishing to become an Aussie. ACDC AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE.
MrFrontlinefred 6 months ago 2
@MrFrontlinefred thanx... plus, Angus has an Aussie accent.. Bon had an Aussie accent... Bon's ashes are scattered on Aussie soil... I know I'm sounding blindly patriotic an shit, but it does make me cringe a little when I see the Scots being petty and small minded by trying hard to claim the entire band. AC/DC just wouldn't have happened if their families didn't migrate to Australia. The Easybeats were talented migrants, but it all happened in Australia - same with AC/DC.
nzoz1976 6 months ago 9
However, although there has been a talented Aussie-born folks that have written great songs, performed great shows and have recorded wonder records, let's just take into consideration that AC/DC (like Cold Chisel) has a distinctive Scottish-flavour - something that can also be heard in the great Scottish group The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. I do believe that things would be a little different if all members of AC/DC were, say, third generation Australian.
nzoz1976 6 months ago
Fuck.. I'm making typos...
I keep saying this and I'm sure it's being ignored by all these hard-up AC/DC fans who most likely want to ignore the fact that AC/DC were a product of the Australian rock scene, sound and attitude, which was started by Lobby Loydd and Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs (circa 1969) and continued through bands such as Buster Brown (featuring Phi Rudd), and later Cold Chisel and Rose Tattoo. AC/DC are a mix of Scottish talent mixed in with the Aussie hard-rock scene.

Australians desperate for the slightest recognition, because the country has produced fuck all worth talkin about! Embarrassing! Even the really talentless like Kylie have to go to the UK to make it, because Australia is still soooo backward it doesn't have a music industry that anyone cares about outside the country! ACDC were Scots who were unfortunate to be living in Australia. Period!

Angus came to Australia when he was 7 and Malcolm was 10, Bon Scott was just 6!
This means they spent their most crucial developmental years growing up in Australia. I cam here when i was 7 and as far as i know i'm Australian, i barely remember life before coming here. Johnson and williams are both British but they joined the band way after it was established. Rudds australian and i think quite clearly so is AC/DC

@MrFrontlinefred I've read comments from people denying Thin Lizzy as an Irish band due to Phil Lynott being black (what the fuck does that have to do with anything), the guitarist being American and the other guitarist being Scottish, etc, etc. The comments 'if it wasn't for us your irish legends wouldn't exist'...
Funny enough, I never heard any of the Dutch claiming half of Van Halen. Fair play that Brian Jonson is British and they've been an international thing for 30 years... but fuck!

@nzoz1976 i'll tell you why the Dutch haven't claimed their half of VH......they are drunken drugaddicts who lost their heads and talent with the coming of the 21st century. and i should know, i am a big VH fan and have heard them live.

@MrFrontlinefred Angus and Malcom are Scottish, both were born in Scotland. Brian Johnson is from Newcastle so hes English, Cliff Williams was born in England so hes English, Phil Rudd is the only aussie in the band right now. But they formed in Australia so they are a Australian band.

@tatethompson1234 G'day Tate, I have not denied their ancestry. They (AC DC) referred to themselves as an Australian band. We accepted them as Aussies, We recognised them as Aussies as did the rest of the world.
I think those nationalities claiming them as their own are a little pissed that these guys (including the Aussie bloke) had the opportunity to immigrate to the this great free land where you can be whatever you want to be. AC DC, they belong to the world, but were an Aussie band.
