And??

 

[Papa G]

As much as I wouldn't want to see them in their current Geriatric State, the Setlist for the Melbourne ACDC show was pretty good.

They'd still be fun.

But yeah, as much as I've loved them, I couldn't see them these days.

Angus Young looks like a little old lady you'd help across the street.

people could try going to actual new bands instead of shit they listened to when they were a child

These Solero ice creams that Coles sell are the best I’ve ever had.

No it sucked

Because Brian called it the ancestral home of AC/DC

In what world?

The Young's are from Sydney, where the band was formed.

Bon is from Perth/Fremantle.

(Ignoring all born in Scotland)

Bon met them in Adelaide.

Rosie was in Tasmania.

Melbourne just trying to claim everything now.

Brian is the blow in with no connection to Australia so don't stress.

Agree with that, apart from driving around Malbun in a flatbed truck and the Batmania council naming a street after them, they have no claim.

My comment was specifically on the set list though.

 

[backtozero]

A quick read of their Wikipedia reveals that they had re-located from Sydney to Melbourne by 1975, even before Phil Rudd had joined the band.
Sorry edgie, Melbs can claim some rights.

If the new bands were even a quarter as good as any new stuff, Id make an attempt.
The amount of young people going to this old shit you talk about is astounding, and far outweigh older people.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Saw Steven Wilson last night. Can usually take him or leave him but last night's gig was excellent.

If you find me a band that can do straightforward hard rock - heavy metal as well as the oldies then I'm all ears.

Even Airbourne kinda suck now.

Ghost go ok I guess.

 

[Powerade 08]

Yea im pretty sure they still make 'straightforward stadium hard rock' like ACDC and KISS.

Its called Coldplay and Muse

I'm not huge into metal but Bury Tomorrow are excellent live.

 

[Contested Marx]

Maybe nobody makes it anymore because it's simply not needed

Like fax machines and video stores

Weren't you calling everyone too judgemental and elitist just a minute ago?

 

[JimmyBC]

Fax machines & video stores were cool.

 

[chiwigi]

Just got my tickets for the Pogues next year.

**** yeah!

 

[68vette]

Fax machines & video stores were cool.

10 weekly DVD's/video for $10 at my local.

 

[JimmyBC]

The Pogues without Shane MacGowan is a bit of a hard sell
