When a band that has been around for more than 40 years goes on the road, fans have to be prepared for the possibility that this go-round may be the last.
While AC/DC isnt officially calling this a farewell tour, the fact that singer Brian Johnson had to leave the tour after a doctor said he was risking total hearing loss means its unlikely hell take the stage with the band again.
Johnsons departure follows co-founder Malcolm Young departure in 2014 because he is suffering from dementia. That same year, drummer Phil Rudd was arrested for threatening to kill someone and for drug possession. Yet AC/DC, which now features Axl Rose filling in on vocals, soldiers on.

And you’re still alive! (But hopefully no longer on the highway to hell.)
We had fun.
The roommate got off lightly. Talk about having a one track mind. Good you did that.
In Australia they were and still called Acca Dacca. Where they came from. Not from America.

groovy, man ... groovy ..
I took it twice, changing my answers completely...and got 3 out of 10 right each time. Guess I don’t qualify as a “superfan,” lol. I was a little too young to appreciate them in their heyday.
I do love “Moneytalks,” though; definitely my favorite song of theirs...and one of my favorites, period.
Bump
I’m a huge fan and got only 2 right.
Yea we had fun. We presented the offending album to the roommate when he got up.
To say he was incredulous would be an understatement. But he wasn’t a millennial snowflake, so he didn’t go crying to his safe space.
It was the early eighties.
Every AC/DC song centers on either sex, drugs/alcohol, or Satan/evil.
Except of course their Christmas song.
Not a fan, but I got 6 out of 10. They are from my era and I was a bit of a metalhead back in the day, but I just didn’t like their voices.
Huge fan here to and I got 1 right! lol
Yeah, I guess those themes were a little mature for me...probably still are, lol.
Brain Johnson wins award from Top Gear - about 30 secs in.
