AC/DC to split?

[78/84 guy]

No, I'm an asshole. Ask Twona. Or Shoes. Or DiverDownInKKKy. Or Wiki Nicki. Or any of the other crazy fuckers from around here that have actually met me.

It's a shame AC/DC didn't get mentioned on this stub, but they were the opening act. As good as Cheap Trick was, AC/DC blew them away that night.

2 words, lucky fucker !

No, he had a stroke. And apparently it's impacted his memory to the point where he literally can't remember how to play guitar.

And that shit is nothing to joke about.

Yeah. My dad had a few strokes. They take their toll on a person. Even minor strokes change a person. Their reasoning goes. Their personality changes. My dad couldn't reason the simple things but he never forgot complicated math formulas. I mean he had no idea where he was or what was going on but he could help a kid do their math homework and get all the problem right. The human mind is a weird thing.

My old math teacher had a stroke and couldn't do math anymore. He could remember me though...sitting in the hall being punished for disrupting the class, lol.

Maybe it's the smell he remembered...

I love this tune...seems like a good thread to put it in

Malcolm has cancer or the very least severe cirrhosis of the liver. Fuck him.

Eat penguin shit, you ass spelunker.

The Young Bros' AC/DC at their pinnacle - a kind of rock 'n' roll Everest:







... and the best remedy, ex-aequo with VH. The ultimate stuff that will turn your blood into kerozene.

It's a damn shame that the entire Glasgow show isn't out on DVD

Sure! The Pavillon de Paris concert is great, but the '78 Glasgow gig reached awesome peaks.

I was 12 when I started listening to "If you want blood", and it's never left my mind ever. I know every tenth of a second of that record.

The Kinks' Dave Davies to AC/DC's Malcolm Young: 'Never Give Up'
"Part of the healing process is convincing the brain and mind that it is capable of anything," writes musician

Former Kinks guitarist and vocalist Dave Davies has offered support for AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young, following news that the latter was taking a break from the band due to ill health. "Never give up," Davies wrote in a Facebook post. He recommended that Young remember all the "important 'tricks'" he'd learned and to exercise his hands and fingers, asking Young to imagine "playing your best solos ever in your mind before you go to sleep daily."

In another post, Davies – who suffered a stroke a decade ago – explained why he felt he needed to make a public statement about the Australian hard rocker. "I have no idea exactly what physical state Malcolm Young is in, but the public sending out negative vibes about the whole thing is not going to help at all," he wrote. "It really does not help by people taking a negative view that his career is over. Part of the healing process is convincing the brain and mind that it is capable of anything. I wish him well."

He also added a personal touch about his own experiences from overcoming an ailment. "I was afraid my first shows last year might have been my last, but sometimes you have to have blind faith with the support of people around you, which I was fortunate to receive," Davies wrote. "Positive thoughts and encouraging support of others are paramount in the healing process."

Last week, AC/DC said that it would be making an album without Young with plans to go into a Vancouver studio in May. However, the band declined to reveal the specific illness that has affected Young. "We're going to pick up some guitars, have a plonk, and see if anybody has got any tunes or ideas," frontman Brian Johnson told the Daily Telegraph. "If anything happens, we'll record it."




Last year Dave Davies released an album, "I will be me", that I recommend, be it only for the opening tune, in which he LITERALLY plays the "You really got me" riff backwards.
