NumbNut Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 That band was the loudest gig i ever went to ! Yep, saw them at the Sydney Showground following their release of 'Back in Black' back in the early 80's... thought my skull would crack when Brian Johnstone started ringing the bell at the start of 'Hells Bells' Loud doesn't begin to describe that experience, it was an assault on the senses.

baboon Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 "The group's shows beginning Thursday in Atlanta through April 4 in New York are being rescheduled for later in the year likely with a guest vocalist." With Malcom out of the band, a revolving door of drummers and Brian unable to perform, they can hardly tour under the name AD/DC. I know they probably will, ($$) but in reality it would just be the Angus Young Band. Out of interest, would any of you guys and girls be prepared to pay top dollar to see that?

Broken Record Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Saw them at Donington Park 1981, they were headlining the Monsters of Rock Concert. Loudest concert ? I think it was Ted Nugent at Hammersmith Odeon, that was really loud !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 He's a Geordie I think? Great taste in motors..... I only got into ac/dc when that was common pole dancing music in Nana late 90's. Those were the days. Suited and booted expense accounts and very happy girls. Not like the kee nok crowd in vests now....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thechook Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I first saw them in 1976, Bon Scott at the Moe Town Hall in Victoria Australia. It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and role. Jail break and can I sit next to you girl. We paid about 1 AUD then as they were new and up and coming. Still have all thier album's and think of them as the greatest band ever. They will go down in history as Australia's best and probably the world's best.

Yes i think they were a Great band back in the days of Bon Scott as singer .... i never really liked Brian`s voice .. too Screechy !!! a friend of mine used to see them practice in a Garage in Fivedock . Sydney,, when they first started ... they certainly have come a long way since then ... no matter if you like them or not.. they certainly are one of the Biggest money earners in the world....

Cats4ever Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I had never heard of them when they stormed the stage as a support act for Lou Reed at Festival Hall in 74 or 5??? Unusual choice of support band for Lou and pleasantly shocked me. Sorry to hear the screamin' geordie has problems; Bon was it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfish Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Good time to hang the guitars up and bask in the glory. Nothing worse than playing on into their 70"s although I'm pretty sure Brian hair consists of what's glued to the inside of his cap Sent from my SC-01D using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
