Malcolm Young died yesterday at age 64, and the music world is way worse off then it was before.

He was the heartbeat and foundation of AC/DC and his rhythm guitar powered the band. Listening to him and Angus play together was an experience you had to hear to believe.

RIP Malcolm - I'm starting an AC/DC marathon on about 10 minutes to pay tribute. Chances are, I'll just play it all through the game tonight and spare myself listening to faggot announcers.

    There is nothing in this world quite as satisfying as going to an AC/DC concert in Dallas, with a bag of weed in your pocket, and a wet seal with you, and they open with Thunderstruck.

    RIP.

    I saw them in the Tacoma Dome in 2001. I'm not a huge mega fan, but that show was really good.

    Saw them twice. I think it was impossible for them to put on a bad show.

    Whole Lotta Rosie is my all time favorite, but damn Angus' solos on Ride On are fucking phenomenal

    Soul Stripper is one of Bon's best. It is a masterful song, with great work by every member of the band.

    I'm seriously partial to the Bon Scott albums vs. the Brian Johnson albums, but Brian did a pretty respectable job of filling shoes that couldn't be filled. Back In Black, For Those About To Rock, Flick of the Switch - and their more recent albums - range from awesome to really good, so Brian Johnson isn't chopped liver, he just isn't Bon Scott. Nobody else would have measured up, either, so hats off the Brian for keeping the band going after Bon's death.



    Will someone tell Damone that only a complete cockgobbling faggot would wtf a post on a thread about Malcolm Young? What a fucking bleeding gash he is these days.

    I know why you like them so much. They look like short little hobbits, like you.

    Any one of them would knock the fuck straight out of you. Maybe even Malcolm.

    I'd knock you down and then go up inside you to teach you a lesson.

    So fuck off you little cunt and stop fagging out my thread.

    Thread was started by a fag so it's not like it can get much gayer.

    While I am partial to the pre-Brian Johnson version, that was about as good a replacement version as any band I know of.

    They produced some good shit after Scott, but a lot of the really, really good shit was from the early days. Touch too much and Live Wire are my personal favorites. COD on For those about to rock is up there.
    You probably liked 5150 and OU812. Van Heflin died with Diamond Dave's solo career.

    AC/DC died when Bon Scott inhaled his dinner puke. Johnson is a screecher who couldn't carry Scott's drunken pissed-in jock.

    Highway to Hell was their best album. Back in Black would have been if Bon hadn't died. Best song though might be Its a Long Way To The Top. The fucking bag pipe riff is unstoppable and makes we want to fuck shit up.

    I also think Highway to Hell is the best album front to back. There isn't a song on it that doesn't kick ass. Go ahead and look for one that doesn't. It isn't there.

    Best song? Can't do that.

    High Voltage is pretty fucking good.

    Long Way to the Top
    The Jack
    TNT
    She's Got Balls
    Live Wire

    Tough call between that and Highway to Hell.

    I played the shit out of Back In Black though. The opening riff in Hells Bells...man. That's good stuff.

    Agree. Every thing after 1984 sucks. The first 6 VH albums, however, are all something special.

    Van Hagar was the worst. I actually saw them at a free concert in downtown Dallas. Fucking terrible.

    You know a concert is fucked when it's free and still gets rated as horrible.

    Negative . I was ok with Hagar solo and even then HATED van hagar. Also didn't like van Halan even with Dave once the synthesizer started showing up a lot.

    Johnson did a much better job filling in and AC/DC was a viable ass kicking band post-Scott. But as I said, like 99% of people out there I prefer Scott ... as I said. I thought Berkeley guys could read good.
