've got a 79 American Standard. Used to have a Tom Anderson, and A Paul Reed Smith, but this one has tone and soul like nothing else. My favorite ACDC songs to jam are Highway to Hell (kickass, but easy to duplicate guitar leads), Shes Got the Jack, and Shoot to thrill. I'm really partial to the Bon Scott stuff though. "Ride On" is the story of my life, one of the songs my best friend says he'll play at my funeral. :)

Cheapest guitar on Earth.

My acoustic, however, sounds pretty good. It's about 20 or 30 years old. From a company named "Eagle". Never heard of it anywhere else.

The only song I really know is Jeff Buckley's version of "hallejulah". Well, I know "folsom prison blues" kind of, and all of those White Stripes songs that everyone learns starting out on the gutiar. But those are extremely simple. Really, I compose my own stuff mostly, usually in a folkish style.

Sweet. Nice axe collection.

Great tune selection there, Beefy. So many: where to start? I love covering Highway to hell, back in black, TNT, dirty deeds. I like the Bon Scott era, but Back in Black is probably the most classic hard rock album in history. I believe its sold 40 million copies worldwide. And believe it or not, AD/DC has outsold the rolling stones, and virtually every other rock band except the beatles, Zep, and Pink Floyd.

They put on a hell of a show too. I saw them in Long Beach for their Razor's Edge tour back in the early 90's. So clean and tight, no mistakes, great theatrics and props. I still have an Angus Dollar from that tour.

Bah!

All ACDC is is a bunch of cheapass stunts. No substance at all. Can't compose music, all they do is string together a bunch of oddly placed power chords and call it a song (too many bands do this shit today, I wish the power chord would just get banished back into the hells from whence it came). A perfect example of the decay of modern society.

I think AC/DC opened for the rolling stones a couple years ago, at a SARS benefit. Should been the other way around, stones should have opened for them. I wouldn't want to be keith richards, following Angus Young's performance.

Well, Angus Young said it best himself:

I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.

the final judge, is the music-listening public.

AC/DC has outsold the Stones, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen.

Simplicity in musice does not mean its "bad". Bob Dylan was famous for writing simple, three-chord songs.

Yeah. I really shouldn't be the one saying that. I've made songs out of two chords before. I absolutely hate music that is too complex. They start taking away the feeling just to be complicated. What I hate more than the power chord is how bands these days will just add on ten or twenty instruments and parts until it all homogenizes together and gives it that shitty, soft sound. Everyone loves that style today (especially in new country, Emo-type music, most modern rock, and actually just about all non-rap they play today), but it makes my ears bleed.

Well, that's quite a reverse, isn't it?

I was just joking talking about ACDC, guys, don't ever take me seriously...

The listening public should not be a barometer of good music if it was we could say the Britney Spears produces good music. You can sell a shitload of crap albums it just means people's taste is in their ass. The same is true of books, movies and television. In fact I would say high popularity is often a sign something is not good.

That said I think AC/DC is a great band.

true. Temporary spikes in popularity is not a good case for awesome music.

That said, AC/DC has stood the test of time. They have consistently sold millions of albums for thirty years.

Brittiny is a flash in the pan. She will not stand the test to time, or continue to sell albums.

Jeesh, too many people don't know how to play the freakin' guitar without drop D tuning and power chords. My first guitar was a '68 Strat sunburst... prolly worth about $10k now. A "friend" of mine stole it and skipped town.

:(

I mostly play acoustic now, and I have a very nice hand-built cedar top, one of the first ones made by Seagull. I would love to have a good Martin D-28, but not enough to part with that kind of cash.

Nirvana was Grunge, the first to hit it so large, but a different category of Metal. It was an offshoot of like three different categories...

Hardcore Punk
Thrash Metal
and Alternative Rock all mixed together to make a unique sound with Grunge bands...

This is that "Seattle Sound" that people talk about when speaking of Metal Bands.

Well.. to each their own ... I'll admit the 60 something Stones are not what they once were ... but I give them respect for the legacy they built.
One thing I will say .. their sound was much more versitle than AC/DC's.

With your fondness for Pink Floyd I am suprised that you are so into thrash ...

I do like ACDC .. thats about as far as I delve into power rock ... Im more into a complex wall of sound ..i.e. Pink Floyd .. Progressive ... and strong lyrical content ... Music motivates my mind .. more so than body ... thats probably the difference.

What is wrong with complicated songs? Sure, over-complexity kills it, but not listening to music simply because of technical riffs is being as narrowminded as only listening to music that is complex. You should never be an absolutist with music.
