AC/DC turns 35!

- Angus & Co., WE SALUTE YOU!!!

I'm not sure regarding the exact date, but at least I know Ac/Dc formed in Sydney back in 1973 (- does anyone here on the greatest Conservative site on the Internet happen to know the exact date?)

AC/DC is one of my favorite rock bands and all of Australia indeed ought to be very, very proud of them.

AC/DC are admirable out of many reasons. Three of them stands out from my point of view:

1. Their conservatism; while most bands that have been around for some time, sooner or later, tend to surrender to the idea of experimentation and playing in styles they haven't "explored" before - while they simultaneously seem to lose vigor, hunger, adrenaline, guts and spirit (for instance, I personally was disappointed with Metallica already by their second album - the only track I really enjoyed upon hearing it for the first time was Trapped Under Ice) - Ac/Dc remains Ac/Dc.

- The way they came back after the tragic death of lead vocalist Bon Scott. R.I.P. Bon and regards to his family! Life goes on. Just like Ac/Dc.

- The way in which Ac/Dc always have managed to gain appreciation by all sorts of people without being "mainstream". I recall hanging out at a bar here in Gothenburg, Sweden where 70-80% of the guests were yuppies sometime around 1990 and watching most of those Gecko wannabees (remember the 1987 film Wall Street? "- Lunch is for wimps!":D) starting to sing along and cheer.

The only thing one really could object against when it comes to Ac/Dc, is their flirtation with Satanism. However, I suspect it to be very much a matter of marketing strategy and I'm not sure the band itself is the main drive behind this part of their image (which seems to have been more or less abandoned by today). I don't believe them to be real devil worshipers.

In any case, they're not a bunch of Feminists.

But what if they actually were?

A legendary Ac/Dc song like T.N.T. might have appeared something like this:

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi

See me foaming at the mouth On your color TV screen Out for all that I can get If you know what I mean Women to the left of me And women to the right Ain't got no man Ain't got no life But don't you start no fight

CHORUS: 'Cause I've got P.M.S, I'm dynamite P.M.S. - and I'll win the fight P.M.S., I'm a power load P.M.S., watch me explode

I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean I'm a ranting dyke Public enemy number one Understand So lock up your daughter Lock up your wife Lock up your back door And run for your life The bitch is back in town I don't shave my legs

CHORUS P.M.S. Oi, oi, oi P.M.S. Oi, oi, oi P.M.S. Oi, oi, oi P.M.S. Oi, oi, oi P.M.S. Oi I'm dynamite (oi, oi) P.M.S. Oi, And I'll win the fight, P.M.S. I'm power mad P.M.S. Watch me explode

By they way:

Q: - What's the differece between a gang of fanatical terrorists and a bunch of feminists suffering from P.M.S.?

A:- You can negotiate with the terrorists.

I remember the early 70's when the phrase AC/DC meant "bi", and I always thought the band was appealing to the glam rock crowd.

AC/DC played their first set at a club named Chequers in Sydney on New Year's Eve, 1973.

This (authentic) stuff is really funny (don’t bother about the subtitles, they’re in Swedish, actually):

And now they are the stuff of Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band. I’m sorry, nothing says you are mainstream quite like being included in xBox software.

[Knitebane]

Wow. I’m thunderstruck.

[Scythian]

For those about to Flame, I salute you !

I personally was disappointed with Metallica already by their second album - the only track I really enjoyed upon hearing it for the first time was Trapped Under Ice)

You're nuts - "Fade to Black" is one of the greatest metal songs ever.

[Revolting cat!]

It's AC/DC!

LOL!
