Well i couldn't see a thread about these guys so i thought I'd start one up.

Anyone got their album? I got it today and it KICKS A$$. An album you will love on the first listen! If you even remotely like AC/DC or anything rock this is a must buy. Four Aussie guys pumping out foot to the floor ROCK N ROLL. Not much else to say really:thumbsu:
 
This band is a JOKE and a FARCE. They are an Acca Dacca cover band with different lyrics. Their sound and vibe are a direct carbon copy, and they don't even come within a bull's roar of doing it nearly as well. If you have any respect for any kind of originality whatsoever, don't waste your dosh on their album, or on going to see them live. Buy another Aussie Rock band's product. Any other Aussie Rock band's stuff....
 
it will be interesting to see how well their album does... their record label has poured alot of money into them, signing them to a multi-million dollar deal...

from what i've heard of them, they aren't very original, but have a great presence live... it will be an interesting few months for airborne...

Laughable. Absolutely laughable.

No, I believe "crap AC/DC cover band" just about covers it. Although, at least with and AC/DC cover band I would get to hear good songs, even if they are played badly. These jokers write utter nonsense. And I have seen them live, in case you were wondering. And it was rubbish.

Can't sing, shit songs, w***er bogan's cashing in on the success of others and doing it badly.

So its fair to say you dont like em then great but if you have that opinion of airbourne then you must think wolfmother are a cheap led zepp cover band .

And in the end who cares they are a lot better than 3/4 of the absolute dribble going around now and why not go with a formula that will work .

long live the bogan :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:
 
It's a tragedy on a grand scale that the only bands Australia can push to broader success beyond our shores are absolute unoriginal rip-off merchant joke copy-bands. While amazing, original, gifted acts like Cog and Karnivool labour away in comparitive obscurity.:thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd:

Touche`
 
the comparisons between airbourne and ac/dc (and wolfmother and led zeppelin, and jet with the beatles, etc.) are totally unfair i feel. every artist that exists borrows elements from artists that have previously existed.
sure they might sound quite a bit like ac/dc, but everyone sounds like someone.

Mate, have you actually heard them at any length? Seen their live show? This is WAY WAY more than mere 'borrowing'. This is pure, unadulterated stealing/ripping off and claiming as your own. Big difference. If I was Angus/Malcolm Young I'd be suing for plagiarism and claiming royalties......:thumbsd:
 
read post #5 in this thread. i've seen em mate, don't you worry, and they were damn good. i didn't stand there going '****, these guys totally ripped off ac/dc!' i'd much rather listen to their music, which is awesome regardless of whether or not they ripped off ac/dc.
 
Everyone rips of everyone these days. Who is original? I like their music. It's ACDC, but I like ACDC and if it takes a new band to do similar music, I'll listen to it.

Who's original? Like I said before, try Cog and Karnivool for starters. You can certainly hear traces of influences in their music, but they don't directly rip anyone off. If you love Acca Dacca, why don't you just listen to Highway to Hell or Back in Black? Listen to the original masters, not the lame-arse carbon copyists who don't do it anywhere near as well....

I do listen to those albums, and they're awesome. But the music Airbourne have released in my opinion is really good to listen to. 'Runnin Wild' is a really good song, and I enjoy listening to it, rip off or not.
