If you like AC/DC and are looking for some new music that sounds like them, check out Airbourne they rock

ac dc is a good band except for their new music, not to great

i like ac/dc but only when they had bon. and they sound pretty much the same in every song besides solos. solos are pretty good too.

Yeah, sure, the songs mostly sound the same. They're still a great band to see live. Even at this age. The dudes rock.

I think I like Rose Tattoo (another Aussie hard rock band) a bit better, though.

I never fully appreciated AC/DC until I began living in Germany and met this band called IC/DC which is an AC/DC tribute band.
All of them are German, and they play shows around Germany. I'd been in a band and they let us open for them in various pubs and we established a good rapport with them.
Great guys.
They're so professional, and I dunno how they do it, but they sound EXACTLY like AC/DC, down to the singer.
It's hard for me to distinguish the two beyond recording quality.

Out of all the tribute/cover bands I've ever heard/known... IC/DC is the best I've ever come across.

Search them. I got a demo from them after a show we played, but I'm still waiting for my shipment from Germany.

AD/DC Back in Black is friggin awesome.

AC/DC are one of few bands where I know exactly what to expect from them but quite frankly couldn't give a toss because I'm probably gonna like it and I don't really find myself wanting anything else from them. I wouldn't have quite the same taste in music if it wasn't for AC/DC as their music helped mould it.

Were they better with Bon Scott? Yeah, probably but i think Brian Johnson gets a lot more stick than he deserves.

Brian and Bon are pretty close in sound (to me, anyways) that they seem the same anyways. Bon was bit more out there, though.

I don't think they have similar vocals. Brian's is more raspy and off-putting, Bon's goes with AC/DC's music alot better. That, and Brian's track record of good albums with AC/DC is like 1/10 while Bon's is like 7/10

AC/DC is pretty good, but their simplistic style can be grating after a couple songs

I actually agree with this but no one else ever seems to. I prefer Bon Scott and no two people are going to sound the SAME, especially when Bon Scott had such a distinctive voice but I think there are a lot of similarities between the two.
