Hi Nik 

in Australia they say Acca Dacca, 

as says p2p, in "heavy metal" there is not only metal !Laughing

I wonder why "mozart" group ignored Ac/Dc, may that groups deals with music. New Zealan 1980's forbid Ac Dc foe being public nuisance.

All time sells  - albums - 1. Jackson 2. Ac Dc , unbelievible!

source wiki, ty for this thread , fascinating.

I just found out that not hardly and people on chess.com have never in their life heard of AC/DC.  What is with that?  What else are chess players ignorant to?

 

Considering that AC/DC (while may have a cpl 'catchy' diddys) is simple minded riff rock that consists of the most watered down rhythm section, incredibly elementary songcraft, along with 5 note pentatonic scale run-ons...I would argue that the person making this ridiculous conclusion- that AC/DC somehow equals intelligence- is the person lacking the needed braincells to draw intelligent conclusions about...well...anything.

THat said, I would never belittle someones intelligence for warshipping any type of pop culture band..because I'm well aware of the fact that musical taste has nothing to do with overall intelligence.

Kinda like Magnus, the ONLY thing he knows how to do is move some pieces of wood around.

He knows to walk, sleep, run, read, travel and much more. Most importantly he knows to THINK!

Holy crap.

Demons grow horns. Bass guitars grow extra strings. This one is beyond corrupt and I also have no envy at all for having to string that thing.

AC/DC is an awesome band.  Why do you think Satan is in those strings???  Seriously?  If you believe that then you are proably hiding under your bed since today is Friday the 13th. lol

I'm actually hiding underneath my bed for reasons entirely independent of the fact it's Friday the 13th. Also, I never said Satan being in the strings was a bad thing.

Speaking of...

Like that isn't taking it out of context.

I'm not sure what context is, but you make it sound important.

Satan's in the fretboard. The strings just pick up from there

Has AC/DC morphed into Guns N' Roses? Axl Rose is now their lead singer, but he is  also said to be touring this year with his original band as well. 

Brian Johnson has lost his hearing. 

Only Angus Young, not so young anymore at 61, is said to be the only standing member left in the band. But he is still dressing as a schoolboy.

Don't these guys ever hang it up? I gave up air guitar when I was still in my early teens. 

Rumour has it that Agnus is to join Gun 'N Roses but he has to dress like an adult in order to join before he can qualify for his bus pass apparently.

How true all this is, I do not know. Just read it on the net. Can anyone confirm or deny these allegations?

Y not.  Last I checked Paul Rodgers was filling in for Freddie mercury.  Loved them both but in different genres. Succession is always tough.

Not really into heavy metal Mex. Just my idea of humour that is all. Which obviously fails miserably at times.

Hello Big Ears, (@35) yes I hear you.
