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]

@ManFromMelbourne I've always respected your point of view and comment, saying it how it is.

[nzoz1976]

@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.

[sarabower1]

@nzoz1976 what kind of accent is that?

[nzoz1976]

@sarabower1

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]

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..

there is only one acdc and that is with bond scott

@ManFromMelbourne

how come phil rudd the drummer doesn't do back ground vocals anymore? he was kind of singing in this video...does he still do it...

[daven58100]

@shoogdon LOL. You'd think he would have had money for at least a tooth. He probably just didn't give a fuck. Wasn't a glam star.

[PaddyGoo]

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!

[PaddyGoo]

@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!
