Yoko stole Zakks guitar!!!! she broke up Ozzy's band!!!

 

[Soylent]

I knew it.

And here's a picture of John Lennon and Steve Vai, rumor has it they were about to destroy music..

 

[lucky13]

I heard it happened because John said they were bigger than Jesus and Steve wanted to do a song for the love of God.....

Which Frankly speaking turned out to be one of the most amazing guitar instrumentals ever recorded.

She's a hot chick!
No, she's a dessert topping!

SHE'S BOTH!

Finally, someone who gets it.

She's NOT hot.
She's homely.
She's fat.
What she attempts to pass off as "music" is banal, insipid pablum.

not sure i'd call katy perry homely, nor fat. i mean she's really not that hot by the modern image of beauty or "hotness" i think she's totally unatractive in about half the photos i've seen of her but when she doesn't have a stupid expression on her face and isn't wearing something totally rediculous occasionally she looks amazing sometimes in a pinup-esque way. i can't argue about the music however. i can't stand it personally.

I've found as I've gotten older that the population of attractive women has gotten substantially larger.

I second that in every way, seriously....lol :laughing7:

As has the population of women who, if I were at liberty and had the desire to pursue them, I would look ridiculous pursuing.  But like the man said, "It don't matter where you pick up the appetite, long's you come home for supper."

When you work around men all day, there becomes what is known as "construction hot."

AC/DC also fits the 'market to 13 year olds, and now 30 years later they still love it', along with a (absolutely shocking to me) number of the current crop of 13 year olds.  Simple chord progressions, straight 8ths on the A string,  lyrics that - gutter content aside - are still not exactly high poetry. (Actually I thought  'Rock n Roll Dream' was a bit more complex and subtle than what I normally expect from them).  Yet this is likely to be met with a chorus of, 'yeah but they made good music'. 

Even though Rush fans in particular  are  likely to make such accusations because there aren't 7 chord changes to every bar and the lyrics haven't been run through a thesaurus, nor are there any songs about angst, quantum physics, or stock purchases using inflection points of the DIJA  - there's still a surprising amount of complexity in there - especially rhythmically, and many of those straight 8 bass lines are actually  pedals that set up some interesting tension.

That said - just because I can admit that some of my favorite music was also the product of a skillfully run marketing machine doesn't prevent me from mocking Justin Bieber.

Awfully damn hard to top Angus for straight-ahead, raunchy,
melodic, tone-drenched rock!! And how the hell does he keep from falling over moving like that?!
And what does his brain do when he STOPS after two hours of that? Just something I've wondered about occasionally during my own episodes of vertigo  arty07:

 

[mayfly]

While we're on the subject of great rock and roll, it still is pretty hard to beat these guys:

Yeah, Wow; Billy Zoom on the sparkle Gretsch...think that's
his real name? Heh, heh... :laughing7:

Same principle as life's too short to drink cheap wine...

13 year-olds liked it (because it Rocked), but it was geared toward adults. In fact, most teenagers probably didn't even get the innuendo and double-entendre in AC/DC's lyrics.
Their music contained a hell of a lot more creativity than anything Katy Perry or Britney Spears has ever done. Plus it Rocked.

I'm a Rush fan, I can enjoy complexity. But I'm a Bush fan too if that says anything about simplicity. I personally hate AC/DC's music, I just can't stand the guy's singing.

Ntm, I think justin bieber can sing really well. He does what he can to please his fans, which there aren't a lot of. I'm not a fan, but I'll listen to him before AC/DC. And the mash ups...

Again, nothing against AC/DC, I just can't enjoy.

 

[AutoBat]

Depending on the song you'd be hearing Bon Scott or Brian Johnson singing in AC/DC.  If you're used to radio songs they usually play Brian Johnson.

Oh no's, that's blasphemy... :doh:

 

[Jumble Jumble]

AC/DC are one of my favourite bands. But even as a teenager I was just about smart enough to understand the subtle double meaning behind such aimed-at-adults lyrics as "let me put my love into you", "givin' the dog a bone" and "lickin' on that lickin stick the way you do, you got the lips to make a strong man weak".

I guess I was just an exceptional child. Those lyrics are super-mature.
