Yep....Brian Johnson is a poser. Anything after Highway is sub-par.

Ya think? I'd argue that Angus is AC/DC.

I own:
Jailbreak 74'
High Voltage
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Let There Be Rock
Powerage
Highway To Hell
Angus and Malcolm are great but without Bon they don't have the attitude. Bon's lyrics were very clever. Johnson's lyrics sound like a 13 year old wrote them.
AC/DC with Johnson is kinda like todays version of country music in the respect that it's very simple music targeted at very simple people. Nothing special about it whatsoever, but it's easy to understand and relate to.

I'm talking about lead singers. There is NO comparison.

I hate to say it Mom, but you would be wrong.

The voice is just whipped topping on the pumpkin pie. It's the music that makes it.
-
Oh, Mom... If you think Bon Scott was "just another voice", you really don't get AC/DC. Brian Johnson is a poser, pure and simple.
Replacing Bon Scott is like replacing a fuel pump on a P-51 in flight.
It ain't ever gonna happen.
-
Nah, Bon Scott miles above Brian Johnson (I can't stand to look at BJ ~ reminds me of Bruce Springsteen ~ blah). But even a mediocre voice can make for a pleasant song if the music is awesome. Can't make up for crappy music with a songbird though.
-
Mom, Bon was the a huge part of the creative process for AC/DC. He was much more than just a singer. He was the co-songwriter before his death.
AC/DC went from unpedictable to very predictable after Bon died.

Angus Young is AC/DC! Without him they'd sound like elevator music.
One of the most aggressive, balsiest, guitar players the good lord has ever created.
Besides me...:D
Special mention... their drummer knows when to play, how to play, how much to play, and exactly when to stop playing. He lends the aggressive swing and groove.
Malcolm Young..... Without him they wouldn't even hold together. The mans rhythm playing could hold a wet paper bag toghether if the tasmanian devil was in it.
The singer, just the guy on top, the icing on the cake, the other guys are AC/DC.
-
In the last 20 years AC/DC has produced the same song over and over again. You can only carry that driving guitar beat so far without spirit and soul. Bon was the spirit and soul.

So Bon Scott is a poser, too? Bon basically hand-picked Brian to replace him in the band if anything ever happened to him. Got that right from an interview with Angus. I think you need to open yer ears a lil rpm, comparing Bon Scott and Brian Johnson is, to me, akin to saying, "Who's better? B.B. King or Jimi Hendrix?"

Wizards from Aus.

I've never read anything like that Diablo and I was deep off into AC/DC when Bon died. Don't get me wrong, they are still good, just not nearly as good as they were and the songs aren't what they could be either.
If you ripped the engine out of your Camero and replaced it with 351 Ford, would it run the same?

You sure like poking the wasp's nest, don't you?

heheh, just trying to make a point, bro.:)

Malcom Young is why AC/DC is what it is.

Malcolm is definitely a part of the band many forget about. his rhythm and timing are impeccable.
Angus is the driving force behind the band though I think. Without him I don't think they could be even a 1/10 of what they are.
It's kind of like saying Van Halen would be the same without Eddie, or Led Zeppelin without Jimmy.
Yes Bon Scott was great. yes Brian Johnson is good, but neither could have made it as huge without Angus IMGO.

Ya.. however Malcom is apparently the brains behind the band as well. Brief mention of this on Wiki, but I've seen a couple interviews where Angus/Brian have gone out of their way to describe Malcom in such terms.

You talking about Chris Slade? If so, he's one of the best alive today.
His resume:
David Gilmour
The Firm
Uriah Heep
and Eric Clapton

Slade was only with them a couple of years. Phil Rudd has been back on the drummer's stool for about 15 years now.
