Of interest.
I wonder what percentage of rockers survive to collect social security?
It’s a long way to go if ya rock and roll.. Yeah yeah
Wishing the best after all the years of rocking
Sad news indeed.
Well that kinda just ruined my day. They played pure, old fashioned, blues based rock n roll, nothing more and nothing less. They also never seemed to take themselves too seriously - a refreshing change from many other bands.
Great band
Saw them at the forum a few years ago. They were awesome! I just can’t hear anymore! lol
On the High Way to Hell?
Back in Black?
AC/DC (((ping)))!
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock-n-roll!

I can remember buying my first AC/DC album, Powerage, and driving my parents crazy with that noise...
The Beatles were a class act. They went out on top. But these old geezers who milk this gig well into their 60’s and 70’s like the rolling stones, putting out a crap record every two years as an excuse to go out on tour to milk their aging fan base. It’s kind of sad. Kind of like that karaoke album that Rod Stewart put out last decade.
That’s too bad. Everbody loves Ac/DC from 15 to 55. It amazes me their first stuff came out in ‘73. Still sounds fresh today. The teeny boppers absolutely love them, as did we.
Unfortunately, probably “too many women and too many pills”.
One of the top 5 rock albums of all time.
Well that just sucks.
Oh no!
I saw them a few years ago, lots of fun, LOUD (I had earplugs jammed in there, and when that wasn’t enough, I shoved ‘em down using a second set of earplugs), just a blast.
They haven’t been together for 40 years for no good reason.
And they didn’t put out the #2 selling album worldwide, (tied with DSOTM) by accident.

Very sad. I hope he recovers enough to enjoy life, even if he can’t play.
One of my favorite bands.
Angus smokes like a chimney so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s having pulmonary trouble. I don’t think any of them drink.
The new ACDC is a pale copy of the old. Had a chance to see them in a small theatre in 79, could not get anyone to go with me, still regret it 35 years later not going.
After Bon Scott died,they were never able to capture my interest. Seemed to be more of a headbanger/screamer group instead of the nuance of earlier albums.
“Jail Break” ... Quite possibly THE best Rock song ever written.
There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge’s gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said “I ain’t spending my life here
I ain’t living alone
Ain’t breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I’m breakin’ out and headin’ home”
Gonna make a jailbreak
And I’m lookin’ towards the sky
I’m gonna make a jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly
All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free
Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years ah
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah
He said he’d seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been
But it was all in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free
Jailbreak, jailbreak
I got to break out
Out of here
Heartbeats, they were racin’
Freedom, he was chasin’
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
