Is Angus Young Dead?!
 

Please say it isn't so, I heard this from a friend....

For those that don't know, it's the guitarist for AC/DC

?

:eek7

huh?

Why are you saying this man?

Yes, I know who he is, and god dammit it better not be true.

uhoh :(

Would be a sad sad day:waaaaahh

its bullshit.

This is from a reliable source, but I'd think it would be posted somewhere on a news site or something.....I hope my friend is fucking with me....

Shit i sure hope not. ac/dc wouldnt be the same without angus

Tuna: AC/DC hasnt been the same without Bon Scott.

Jolly: a reliable source who knows about a dead rocker before ANY NEWS SITE ONLINE?

yeak okay.

Friday the 13th bullshit rumors, nothing more.

(i really fucking hope)

AC/DC is one of my favorite bands.

I have Jim Lad on the radio right now, if he doesnt mention it, it didnt happen.

Rot in hell mutha fucka

Indeed.

Fletch XXX: Good Point

Spunky1: ill do my best. just for you :thumbsup

There is no AC/DC without Angus.

He has the best vibrato I've ever heard. It's amazing the number of catchy melodies he and his brother have created with only a dozen of chords!

No word of it, Jim Lad is joking about being commercial free, giving away shit, and hinting towards smokin herbs.

No mention of Angus.

This guy would know and would have surely mentioned it.

The latest Tom Petty album is named after this world famous LA Dj, JIm Lad rules.

Saw AC/DC live here in Brisbane in Febuary 2001.

Amazing show.

Couldn't hear properly for three days.

Brian's first 3 albums with the band are great. Sadly, he did lose his voice circa 1985. Other than Thunderstruck, Brian hasn't had many shining moments in the last two decades.

exactly.... and when was the last time they put anything out.... let alone anything good.

I love ACDC, but they shoulda retired with Thunderstruck.

I have bought every record since Powerage, regardless of Brian in it or not.

I like AC/DC period.

love it all, from T.N.T to Whiskey On The Rocks. but we all know Bon Scott was THE MAN. Brian can try to do it all he wants, like Ian Ashbury can't be Jim, bottom line. Brian JOhnson kicks ass, but he aint no fucking Bon thats for sure.

:)

The latest album is pretty good actually.

Definitely one of the better ones of the last decade.

A few of the tunes on it totally rock.

'Damned' is awesome.

this is gonna drive me nuts until I confirm it either way.

fuuuuuck

I seen Aerosmith and AC/DC's first north american appearance back in 70 something..still remember as one of the best concerts I have ever seen. :glugglug

too bad it's a replica.

For 3 weeks in April/May of 1980, in Nassau (Bahamas), Brian Johnson's singing surpassed anything Bon did with the band. I love Bon's little stories, his quirky humor, his occasional self-deprication, his defiant whiny delivery... but when I put Back in Black in the CD player, Brian's voice just blows me away.

I'm rollin' thunder...

Now, sadly, he sounds like Donald Duck. Some of the bootlegs I've heard are absolutely hilarious. He and Robert Plant should see a throat surgeon.

You're talking voice, Im talking balls. ;)

Dude, I love Brian Johnson vocals.

Its like saying Ian Ashbury can't sing compared to Jim morrison, of course he can sing, but he aint no fucking Jim Morrison thats for sure.

;)

AC/DC is the best skiing music ever... moguls & airiels!!!

and regardless of what Brian can sing, after Back IN Black he didnt write MANY songs that can compare to a Bon Scott written AC/DC track.

Bon's lyrics rule.

I love it all though man.

:thumbsup

edit: after contemplation I had to change a line in this post.

:eek7

I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, his lyrical input was always minimal. Even for Back in Black, the Youngs already had the core of many songs ready and Brian just filled in the blanks. He actually wrote You Shook Me (and the "American thighs" line) while sitting on the toilet because of a diarrhea-inducing virus he caught in the Bahamas. I heard him tell that story on the radio and I thought it was hilarious.

saw AC/DC live at Jones Beach right before I moved to California - those guys kicked fucking ass, and this was 99-2000 (when the fuck did I move west?)

These guys might smoke + drink too much, but they were all in wicked shape - their cardio must be off the charts, because they busted ass for like 3 1/2 hours non-stop

no fucking love ballads from these dudes

and why retire when they kick ass live? they can go on forever (almost) like the Grateful Dead - who needs an album to tour?
