AC/DC singer Brian Johnson to stop touring to save his hearing

It was the end when Bon Scott died.

^ flushgordon1 knows.

It most certainly was all over when Phil had the murder rap & Malc had to quit.

For anyone up by Perth ...

There will be many other "youngsters" who grew up with the band and their folks will fork out £100 for a ticket but yes, stickyvicky, the AC/DC show is now over.

I'd like to see Angus and Cliff start something new ... that would be a proper tribute to Bon!

A likeable man. Maybe we can see a bit more now of him doing his 'Cars That Rock' programmes?

Let's take this chance to enjoy these 2 different versions of 'You Shook Me All Night Long", and the videos.

ive seen plenty of good tribute acts on ac/dc. Live Wire top the lot. Think its the end of the road for ac/dc after reading about Brian.What a great rock band though. Live at River Plate in Buenos Aires will never be beat with that crowd.

First time I saw DC was in the Edinburgh Playhouse on the For Those About To Rock tour.  Man, those cannons were loud indoors, as was Brian swinging on the Bell!

First got into them when I heard A Touch Too Much on the radio in '79(?)

Have a ticket for the show at the Etihad in June and if Celine Dion walks out on stage, permission is given to shot me there and then.

'Go girlfriend...'

alun

The first was excellent, the second was utter shiiiiitttteeee

The ' proper ' You Shook Me ( all night long ) !
By the greatest rock band of all time

Most of the original cuts are extemporary.

Kin 'ell, Sofikenny and Facts do know (some of) their onions after all!

' ......To be a rock and not to roll.....'


Saw Led Zeppelin live in Jan 1970 and again in June at Bath Festival ( along with Pink Floyd ,Johnny Winter,Santana,Steppenwolf -and Frank Zappa - to name a few). The year before saw many bands, highlight was Isle Of Wight Festival - with Hendrix, The Who, Dylan etc.
Most recent concert was to see one of my rock heros Neil Young with Crazy Horse. Hoping to see another  hero, Springsteen this year. Sadly my third died in January ( Bowie) . Regretfully I never got to see him play live.

' .....Rock and roll will never die .....'     

One of the top 5 gigs in my history was seeing AC/DC live, a big group of us all of their tits rocking away, absolutely brilliant they were.

Brian was a replacement for Bon & that's about it.  What would the lad from Nazareth - Dan McCafferty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_McCafferty have done handed the gig?

Back In Black has some great tracks and is one of the greatest "comeback" albums of all time.

Let Me Put My Love Into You is one of the greatest ever rock songs of all time.

Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution is a close 2nd from BIB and Hells Bells gets the bronze.

I lost touch with DC after that but the For Those About To Rock album has a few decent tracks.

This one's for you, Facts

whole lotta closed ear

e.n.t.

Who do ye all think might be the stand in singer ? I'd go with one of the big tribute bands singers myself but others suggesting maybe Rob Halford of Judas Priest. Might be a bit too YMCA tho.

This one's for you trilby

Great tune Facts - long time no hear ... cheers

Black Star Riders have heard of them but never saw them and I'm a big Lizzy fan too. If you think so, I bow to your superior knowledge.

It's only a wild stab in the dark, sticky.  Will be interesting to see whether he's approached -I reckon he'd do a braw job.

Here's 80mins worth of the BSR's rom Germany last year - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ1PwVnhzdU

Close your eyes and you can almost hear Phil!

I only had the great pleasure of seeing Lizzy live once - in Glasgow on their Live & Dangerous 30th anniversary tour.  John Sykes was on vocals (I think!) and the way he emulated Phil was quite sublime!  I'll see if I can find a link later.

Yup, November 30th 2007 - Sykes on vocals ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Thin_Lizzy_band_members

Mickey Dee from Motoerhead smacks the skins with Lizzy now.  Kin 'ell, I didn't know that!

I can't remember the Glasgow setlist - otherwise I'd post it up here ... http://www.setlist.fm/stats/thin-lizzy-33d6802d.html?year=2007

Only saw them live once myself with the Great man up front on the Thunder and Lightening tour 1983, giving  my age away there. Remember Phil blinding me and everyone else with the spot light reflecting from the mirror on his bass as he shone it into the crowd, brilliant and I was in the middle of the crowd, those up front must be totally blind now, would not get away with that these days. Under rated front man always had the crowd in the palm of his hands, with his 'Are you still out there' and other catch phrases,

I don't have any records by AC/DC, but this one certainly caught my ear back in the day and still love it.

For Those About To Rock ...

I too just saw Thin LIzzy  once on their Live and Dangerous Tour. In Leicester .
Absolutely blew the roof off . One of the best concerts I've ever seen..

Classic ad lib from Phil to audience between songs

' ....are there any ladies out there with any Irish in them .....?

( lots of cheers )

' ........would any of you like a bit more Irish in you ....?

Would you like a few more Fugees at your gaff, Facts?

JK, btw

This is for anyone that has the err.. flu.... a song called Cold Sweat

Blinding glare from the mirrored bass can be seen here too, jeez youtube has every thing.

Phil always nailed it - like Lemmy

Good news and Bad news ... Axl Rose is reportedly 'a done deal' as the next AC/DC singer.
