Yeah, AC/DC is more heavy metal than rock n' roll. 

 

 

 

 

bwahahahahahahaha.

 

Bands like Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica and Megadeath etc etc are "heavy metal".

 

AC/DC definitely is not.

Would a more appropriate song be 'Get Down on It'

 

With all those super modern video effects - for 1981.

I agree. I'd never listen to them if they were, but they are one of my favourite bands. They ain't rock and roll though.

But they make a lot of references to "hell" in their music.

the singer shouts more than he actually sings. 

 

not so sure why it is so important to you to put a label on it.

 

people take music quite seriously. following a certain type of music is like being in a cult, it seems.

Right, ok so if a singer shouts it is heavy metal.

 

On the drive home today I stumbled across a song by Ice T/Body Count, it was a cover of Slayer's Raining In Blood.... simply brilliant song and an amazing cover.

 

Thats metal !!

AC/DC class themselves in the rock and roll/hard rock genre.

Ok. 

Personally, I think people should pay more attention to lyrics of songs. 

Rather than just "the song sounds cool" ... but maybe that's just me.

You're just being silly. AC DC isn't pop or rock and roll, and it isn't heavy metal, but there are so many "types" of music now that I have no idea of what it is.

I have only 2 categories of music- songs I like and songs I don't. Most of AC DC I like.

IMO if one can't do rock and roll dancing to it, it isn't rock and roll. No idea what hard rock is, but it sounds more fitting.

Ahhh your a Baby Boomer, your replies make sense now !!

 

Well yes you could "rock and roll" dance at an AC/DC concert, you might have beer bottles thrown at you though.

I'm pretty sure AC DC's music isn't conforming to rock and roll moves, so if one did try and rock and roll to it one might deserve a few bottles in one's direction.

 

I always travel with speaks and portable amp.

I got this amp recently and am ready to rock!
