AC/DC is older than Metallica. AC/DC was formed in 1973, while Metallica started in 1981. -------------------- "We can learn a lot from crayons.

Brian Johnson-era AC/DC (from Back in Black on) sounds a lot like Metallica to me, and that began just before Metallica was founded. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Personally, I think that Bon Scott is better than Brian Johnson. That said, a lot of the songs post-Bon Scott are good. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. :ph34r: Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

I like them both equally. They both do different things with their voice well. If you were to have Brian Johnson sing "High Voltage", it would sound wrong. Likewise, if Bon Scott were to sing "Mistress for Christmas", it would sound wrong. -------------------- "We can learn a lot from crayons.

Well, me and a mate always have an argument: He says that Bon Scott and Brian Johnson sound different, I say they sound similar. Not the same, but similar. What are your thoughts on this, Eldibs? Oh, and Brian Johnson singing High Voltage is good. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. :ph34r: Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

It is very odd to hear Brian Johnson singing Bon Scott-era songs, which I've only heard occasionally (on live recordings). I think they sound fairly different. Not as different as, say, Axl Rose and Layne Staley (can you imagine if Alice in Chains tried to cover a GNR song?), but different. I also think that the band changed styles a little when they changed lead singers, too. The guitars on Back in Black are heavier, darker, and more modern than the guitars on Highway to Hell. They're both good albums, but they don't sound alike to me. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

About this hole AC/DC - Metallica thing... you can get inspired by a band without making the exact same music, or music that sounds like it. But you can also get inspired about stage performance, album-art, and that sort of things. But they have some simular sounds from time to time. About AC/DC; Bon Scott is no more. That's why they had to find a new singer, Brian Johnson. But Thunderstruck and Back In Black are from that era, and those are good songs. Of course it's sad Scott died, but complaining about Brian Johnson isn't fair. You wouldn't like it if they had stopped back then. ;) Same for Metallica after the death of Cliff Burton, which is a sad story. They made some really good music after that, including their most popular album, The Black Album, or selftitled. And after Jason Newsted left, they made some good music as well, with Frantic as one of my favorites.

quote:To me, Back in Black sounded heavier than the other post-Bon Scott era albums as well. The Razors Edge was definitely higher pitched than Back in Black. quote:They do sound similar, but different. Brian Johnson has a deeper voice, and has more "croak" in his voice. Also, as time has passed, he seems to have gained more "croak." Regardless, AC/DC has always had a unique singing voice. The only band I've heard come close to this voice is Nazareth, in the song "Hair of the Dog," who's chorus is expletive (look up the lyrics), and which almost always gets mistaken for an AC/DC song. quote:I wouldn't like it if they stopped ever. By the way, AC/DC is working on a new album that's supposed to come out some time this year. How's that for longevity in a band?

I agree with Eldibs about Scott's and Johnson's voices. Their lyrical styles are also similar, yet different. From what I gather, the biggest difference, in terms of their music and personas, is that Scott had a much stronger "bad boy" image. The liner notes for the Back In Black album say that Scott basically gave his approval of Johnson when he saw him in a concert, actually. I don't understand why some people think Johnson ruined AC/DC. Johnson wrote Back In Black, which I hear from some friends I have who are in bands is fun to play, and Let Me Put My Love Into You, which is my favorite AC/DC song. In terms of "longevity", though, The Rolling Stones recently released a new album. I hear it flopped. My favorite classical composer is Franz Schubert, by far. He wrote some very good melodies. So far, I've heard Die Forelle, the Trout Quintet, the Arpeggione Sonata, the unfinished 8th Symphony, and Music of Moments. I loved every single movement. I enjoyed Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and 5th Symphony as well, but not as much as those Schubert works I mentioned. Perhaps just Romantic music in general, but those are the only two I know are classified as Romantic. Schubert definitely though. On the other hand, I hate J.S. Bach. He's terrible. It sounds like random notes strung together. No rhythm or melody at all. Gut-wrenching to listen to. I don't understand why he's so popular. Probably for the same reason people eat truffles (the fungus that supposedly tastes like dirt): so they can say they have a "distinguished taste". Distinguished tastes suck. I listen to everything but Baroque and salsa, pretty much. I even listen to grindcore. As for non-classical composers, I don't have a particular favorite. TMBG, The Beatles, and Pete Townshend of The Who are pretty high up there, I guess.

quote:I agree. Scott had more of a "bad boy" image, while Johnson had a more direct "bad@$$ criminal" style. However, both of them were definitely perverted. I mean, "Fire Your Guns" wasn't exactly about artillery, and "The Jack" wasn't about a friendly game of poker. But then again, "Big Balls" wasn't about male genetelia. quote:Aerosmith and Def Leppard have both come out with new albums as well. I have no idea how well they sold.

quote:Guns 'N Roses, well Axl Rose has been saying for at least 4 years or so, that there will be a new studio album of Guns 'N Roses, Chinese Demoncraty or something like that. I don't think it will ever come, cause the good musicians, the real power of guns n roses is gone, they're all in Velvet Revolver now. Not that i would mind if it never comes out... ;) And the new Stones Album is pretty good, i read a lot of good reviews about it, and what i heard, it's pretty good.

quote:Yes, finally someone who listens to grindcore, I've been looking for someone like you for ages. Favorite genres: Progressive Metal, Power Metal. Favorite Bands: Dream Theater (progressive), Nightwish (operatic power) (although the singer got the boot so that's probably gonna change soon). Favorite Albums: either Images And Words or Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater, Oceanborn by Nightwish. Favorite Songs: Pull Me Under (I&W), About To Crash (6DoIT) by DT, Nightquest by NW. Additional bands that I enjoy (in no particular order): Opeth (Progressive Death Metal) Echosilence (Progressive Metal) Dimmu Borgir (Symphonic Black Metal) Kadenzza (Avantgarde Symphonic Black Metal) Children Of Bodom (Extreme Power Metal) Also, for those of you who say they listen to metal then state bands such as Slipknot or Korn, you are contradicting yourself. The only connection they have with metal is the genre name "Nu Metal" which is just another form of alternative. Even Alternative Metal is in some ways metal, Nu Metal is not. :mad: -------------------- ??? ?????? ???? ????? Posts: 883 | Registered: Wednesday, October 19 2005 07:00 |

quote:I hate the term Nu Metal. It inncludes Slipknot, KoRn, Linkin Park, System of a Down, Type O Negative and those bands have nothing, or very little in common. I don't know what label they should get, but giving everything new the term Nu Metal, it's just wrong. And some bands can't really be discribed as metal, like Linkin Park, but Slipknot is metal, but not ordinary metal. It has eliments of all sorts of metal, which makes it hard to put in a box. But everyone's free to call it how they like, Nu Metal, Metal, Alternative, rubbish ;) i still believe it's good music. -------------------- There are 400 words in the dictionary that begin with "self" and only 8 that begin with "fellow".

Hmmm, never knew that there were so many sorts of metal. although I mostly listen to classical music, when one of my friends has some metal on his Ipod or something, i tend to listen sometimes, and its not bad at all. its loud, yes, but does loud mean bad? I don't think so. Nu metal, does that mean every band which is slightly different from normal metal? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

quote:Nu metal mostly means all the bands that can't be placed under one specific type of metal. There are, i believe about 20 different sorts of metal, things from pop-metal *gags*, things like Bon Jovi, to Death Metal, like Morbid Angel. And mostly new band which oviasly make metal, can't be put in one specific box. That's why they made a giant heap for all those bands, and called it Nu Metal. But it's a shame, cause there are bands in that catagory you can hardly compare... It's a bit stupid, the term Nu Metal, but i can't think of an alternative. -------------------- There are 400 words in the dictionary that begin with "self" and only 8 that begin with "fellow".
