AC/DC, to me, represents the perfect embodiment of all that is good and right about being dumb. Not literally dumb, understand - not the "too dumb to live" kind. No, I mean the harmless kind of dumb - going out, getting hammered, flirting with women, and having a good time. The kind that isn't really dumb at all. (Indeed, you have to be pretty smart to write a song as hilariously, intentionally juvenile as "Big Balls"). Their songs kick ass, both in a straightforward sense and a tongue-in-cheek Spinal Tap sort of way. It's that fine line between stupid and clever, and they walk it so well. Really, they're too good to be taken seriously.
Thus, I think it is fitting and proper that a thread be dedicated to this great rock band (and their upcoming album, which, judging from the single they've released, will be awesome). Bon Scott vs. Brian Johnson debates are welcome, as long as you keep it civil.
So...for those about to rock............was actually kind of a disappointing album compared to its predecessor. You probably thought I was going to go with the obvious "finish the rest of the lyric and start the thread" thing, didn't you? Well, I didn't do that. So nyeah.
