Steve Smith Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Angus gets slagged by guitar players who think they know but I think he is a brilliant brilliant player. His command of the blues/rock style is just so very good. He uses vibrato and dynamics so well. Just a Gibson SG through a Marshall Super Lead 50 JMP wound up all the way and an EQ/Tone boost pedal for solos, that's all you need. When Bon died they wanted Gary Holton to replace him but he turned the job down, Brian Johnson was a fitter at the CA Parsons factory at Walker in Newcastle and sang in the bars and working mans clubs in the North East. My grandma and granddad used to run the "Paddock" café opposite and Brian and the rest of the lads would come over for their bacon butties and baccy and tabs (fags) Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Steve, is that true about Gary Holton ?? .. I never heard that before 70s AC/DC is incredible ... But for me, the band died when Bon died 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Smith Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 True yes about Gary Every one knows him as the cool cockney fanny magnet from Auf Weidersehen Pet I assumed that he turned the job down because he did not think he would be able to hit the high notes that Bon reached. But now I know that he could I think he just wanted to pursue his acting career. RIP Gaz ;) ;) :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 AC/DC is considered one of the greats for a few reasons, not least of which being the fact that Angus is a phenomenal player with a very thrilling, addicting, and distinctive style. I tend to prefer Aerosmith, but when I just want to rock out it doesn't get much better that AC/DC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've never much cared for the Brian Johnson version of AC/DC. I did own Back in Black but after that I lost interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g under p Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 While in college I worked at Denny's in Hampton VA the graveyard shift. I went to see ACDC before going to work.....Tired and about 3am I saw two huge tour buses stop at a light in front of our restaurant. I said to a friend....Get ready we're going to have a bunch of hungry people come in here (we were dead it was the middle of the week 85' I think it was Fly On The Wall tour), my friend said from where? I told him I betcha that's ACDC IN those busses, he says to me what is that? I told a rock band I saw last night just follow them and see if they park in our lot. Sure enough they parked and about 15-20 men I can't recall any women started heading into our doors. It was the road crew and the ENTIRE band EXCEPT Angus. The band sat together at one big round table, the counter and elsewhere I think they were the only ones in Denny's. Anyway I had the counter and the big table....I had trouble taking their orders of the band due to their thick accents. They would say "ottae please" I say excuse me say again....Finally a roadie would step in to explain they wanted hot tea and so on. It became too funny as i slowly took theirs with difficulty. I told them you guys are much easier to understand when you are singing. They said to you were at the show I said certainly they didn't believe me, so I opened my Denny's shirt to show the rust red tour shirt for them to believe I was there. So after everyone got Their fillings one of the roadies went out and came back with ALL THIS tour stuff including an ALL ACCESS tour pass for every remaining show on the tour. He said "wear this and come see anytime you want" I thanked them so much and the very nice tip (I was more than able to pay rent that month). They also signed a bunch things as well. It was a great first show of 12 I think to date very loud as they blasted their hits even though I didn't care for that FOTW album. I never did asked them so where's Angus? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
