Splash 11 ch20 AC-DC Special
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
>ac/dc special< hello rockers! the boss of accu- racy is here again with a special chapter for you! from now on,in every issue of splash,i will try to edit a report for one of the blues-rock-heavy metal groups.the next month this will be >metallica so send everything you know about the ruler in thrash! anyway,the fi rst report is about ac/dc as they are the best hard-rock group alive name:ac/dc birth date:1973< home land:australia first members:bon scott(vocals), angus young(lead guitar),malcolm young,cliff williams(bass),chris slade(drums) type:pure hard rock... some albumes:t.n.t.,high voltage dddd cheap,highway to hell,back in black,for those about to rock, if you want blood,flick of the switch,guns for hire,powerage,blo w up your video,razor's edge etc okey,ac/dc was formed by five young ozzies and made their first albume in 1973 and got to known after high voltage(1974).actually they were quite hard if compared with led zeppelin and deep purple which were active on the same ye- ars.actually the "fathers" of he- avy metal and hard rock are also accepted to be those 3 groups wit th jimi hendrix.during 1973& 1979 their success wasn't steady.but the quality of their music never fell and when they released high- way to hell they caused a sensa- tion all over the world,and became one of the legends of rock.this al bume became a classic of rock just like stairway to heaven/l.zeppelin but just after,their vocalist died in an accident.the group couldn't decide to go on music or not until brian johnsom,an unbelieveable vo- ice joined them.so they released "back in black"in 80 which broke all time selling records&made ac/ dc number 1 of the rock world.they were just like gnr is today but un like gnr ac/dc never releasd shit songs like breakdown,locomotive.. so after that time,no one discu- ssed their career.until 1991,they always released top albumes that reached the first place at charts but none's popularity was like hi ghway to hell or back in black. and later in the early 1991,they produced they mega-cool albume "the razor's edge" where ac/dc made the music of these days and proved that they are still the number one in hard rock.if you check,you'll see that ac/dc is the only group that kept their success for such a long time... according to me,ac/dc has made 3 stages in their music: 1973-1979,1980-1990 and 1990+ in fact in all of their albumes they played another style(and this is one of the most important and outstanding specialities of them) but during those periods the styls are more close to each other.and the difference between highway to hell&razor's edge is unbelieveable in all other groups,the most acti ve member on the stage is always the vocalist.but,this is not the same for ac/dc.the lead guitarist angus young is probably the best in the world as no other can move so much and go for so crazy solos at the same.when he's on the stage he loses his mind,he goes crazy,he crowls on the floor,jumps,runs,ju- st as if his guitar is giving out electric.he also has a special mo- vement that he does all the time. with his schoolsuit,tie,and guitar he's the symbol of ac/dc.he even has a became a legendary symbol for rock. and about the vocalist...first of all his voice cannot be defined by words so just listen the razor's edge where you can hear his best vocals.his voice is incredible,un matchable and unreachable.i think the closest to his voice is da vo- calist of aerosmith and axl rose. but still not strong enough.i ha- ve to say that,if evil has a voice it must be like brian johnson's! > dirty deeds done dirt cheap/1976 the b side isn't very good but on a side there are great songs like dddd cheap and rocker... > %85 >highway to hell fucking coool!has some of the best ac/dc songs."touch too much"and hi ghway to hell" have become classic songs.the other cool ones are walk over you,girls got rythm,beatin' around the bush,if you want blood shot down in flames... > %99 > back in black /1980 fucking coool.they made the first change in their style with this. the best songs:back in black(grea aaaaat),rock'n roll ain't noise pollution,let me put my love into you babe,what do you do for money honey,hells bells... > %99 > for those about to rock /1981 their only average albume.but has a cool song named for those about to rock(we salute you) > flick of the switch/??? again a very good albume.has sup- er songs like guns for hire,deep in the hole,landslide,rising pow- er and f.o.t.switch... > %95 > fly on the wall/1985(?) this albume is much above the av- erage but not good enough.but sti ll has very good songs like:shake your foundations(cooool),fly on the wall,danger... > %89 > blow up your video/1988(?) yeah,also a fucking cool albume with a lot of cool pieces:that's the way i wanna rock'n roll,this means war,two's up,nick of time, kissin' dynamite,meanstreak,heat seeker... > %95 > the razor's edge/1991 shit,this one's also mega!!it's accepted as ac/dc's best albume by many people.(if you think abo ut today's music,that's right) also the young generation learned about them with this.also they made their second big change in style.also angus young and brian johnson do their best.just have a look at the vocals in all songs, and see that angus made an unbeat- abel solo in"the razor's edge" check the music!best songs are: the razor's edge,fire your guns thunderstruck,are you ready,money talks,mistress for christmas,she got you by the balls,goodbye&good riddance 2 bad luck etc > %99 yes,that's right.according to me their best albumes are back in bla ck,highway to hell and the razor's edge.i can't separate them!sorry! well,firstly,you should never forget that,at the years when ac/ dc went on world tours,slash,het- field,mustaine and all others were playing around with shorts... you may not like their music,but you have to be respectful to them, just like aerosmith,led zeppelin, deep purple or black sabbath.they certainly deserve... that was all!!see you! >the boss/acy/dc
