I just read that quote and felt like sharing it with you. Some AC/DC appreciation.
Let There Be Rock! 🤘
Heh. I didn’t know this was a common criticism of AC/DC.
It’s definitely not unfounded but, the alternative is not always better. A good counter example is a band like Kings of Leon, who kind of split their fans along different album lines. Not saying there’s anything wrong with that either, but I love AC/DC and am not upset that they have a pretty consistent identity across their albums.
And that sound is rock.
It’s great that they have a sense of humor about it.
But… Yeah.
Why does it need to sound different? If it rocks it fkn rocks. it’s TNT and it’s dynamite.
I remember when Malcolm passed and Brian was talking about him as the architect of their sound. He said he wasn’t always big on talking but once in awhile after a song Brian would look over at him and he’d have a grin on that said “Yeah. That’s it.”
Yeah. That’s it.
