AC/DC is awesome. My dad has saw them 8 times, 5 times for me. I went to my first AC/DC concert at 4 years old, we were front row and Angus kept pointing at me....I'll never forget that
As a kid me and friend up the street would give are bus driver the Acdc Back in black 8 track to play on way to school! But when Hells Bells track came on she would skip over it! 😂 lol. Was a great Christian lady bus driver. I seen her tapping her fingers as she drove us to school! Lol
I became an AC/DC fan quite my accident. I was just scrolling on RU-vid and I heard the riff to Back in Black. It changed my life. AC/DC was the band that got me into hard rock and heavy metal. I now have all their albums and love every single one. Was long waiting for this video and it was worth it! For those about to rock we salute you…rock on Metal Dad!!!
Love the music and the playing but most of all I love how much this guy enjoys playing it comes through loud and clear. Much love from Wales, UK. Keep on rocking man!
Found your channel by accident. I’m a huge AC/DC fan. Born in the mid 70’s, they were and are as relevant as ever. I would like to see them live. Thanks for the great video.
even though i have all these songs on all the vids, just watching you play and enjoy it brings me back to when i was a teen when they first came out. although my teens were aerosmith, and the like back in the early 80's.
Mal was in one of the best rock rhythm guitarists of all time IMO. Closely followed by EVH. Eddie had such a mega swing to his playing. But malcom is why AC/DC sounded so damn mean and intense. Angus was the reason I started playing in the first place, my appreciation of Malcolm was ingrained later on. Realising how tight he played and how much attitude he put into the songs. Deceptively simple sounding, incredibly hard to replicate! Keep rocking dude!! ✌️😎
I agree but alot of plp say that their music is easy to play but what they don't realize that Mal rhythm was very quick chord changing and the chords might be different after you go thru the first three chords...his strumming patterns would change in some of his songs...My dad got me to play guitar to his music like Kansas, REO, Led Zeppelin and many other bands but as I got older I discovered AC/DC and that kept me playing, now I own 11 guitars and the wife says nomore but I say hunny there are so many tunings and I need one for everyone...It worked so no more wife saying thats enuff plus flowers on Friday's makes it even better...Rock on Metal Dad your a great guitar player...
@@rickeymathis7672 100%! I think what people mean, is that their songs are objectively simple. Which is half true. They're simple in the sense that they figured out a formula for their sound. It's not based on over complicated chords and impossible riffs. However, playing it accurately, that's not so simple. Getting Mals rhythm exactly right, nailing the riffs like Angus, even nailing his vibrato, it takes more analysis than most give it. Pub bands tend to butcher AC/DC because they aren't identifying the minor details properly. It's harder to play accurately than people give it credit for.
@@SeagoGuitarist I totally agree...I've been playing for over 20 years now and if I don't practice AC/DC songs when I try to play them my timing is off so your truly right it's easier said than done when it comes between Mal and Angus and I've watched documentaries on Angus and he said that he still has to practice songs that they don't play much cause he forgets the rhythm...but he still jamming at 70 plus years old and still making albums...
great story and playing, you remind me of me, I started pub circuits when I was 12 years old, still play today, some 50 years later, I ended up a session musician, lifes been fun, i wouldnt change it for anything, Im sure you are the same, cheers form Australia, land of the skippies hehehehe
AC/DC is the band that brought me into the hard rock genre. I was 10 years old and the first album I bought was Highway to Hell. Brian Johnson is a great singer but I’ll always be partial to early AC/DC and Bon Scott singing. In 1992 I had a great addition to my collection of AC/DC albums brought to me, it was a copy of the TNT album brought from Melbourne Australia. I had tried for years to get a copy but no record store could get it as it was only released in Australia.
Thank you Metal Dad! I am 58 and TNT has always been my "go to" song when i want to rock! I buy and restore vintage stereo equipment for a hobby and nothing compares to a pioneer SX 1980 receiver connected to a pair of HPM 100 speakers! As a recording engineer, you know what dynamic range is all about! Thanks again for all the killer videos and stories 😀
Great riff selection metal dad.grrat sound!!! I had quite an unusual introduction to AC/DC.it was around 1985 I think, and even though I heard of AC/DC.i never listened to any songs yet.then one night a family supper,my father has the evening news on with Peter jennings.and I heard about these serial killings in California,by a guy called the night stalker (aka. Richard Ramirez).then they were reporting that an AC/DC song was the cause for inspiration for Ramirez.the song being "night prowler" from highway to hell album.i remember after supper going to right that down in my notebook.i kept notes about all hard rock and heavy metal things to check out.about two days later,after school.i went down to my local five and dime record store and looked for highway to hell.and to my surprise,one copy left.so I grabbed my hard earned allowance and bought the record.then I went home and put the record on.i listened to night prowler first.yeah it was a cool song,but a little slow in tempo then I started to hear beating around the bush,get it hot,highway to hell..etc... And I was hooked from that day on AC/DC.then I bought a lot more of their albums in the coming months.just a little trip down memory lane.rock on metal dad !!¡!!!
A cover band I was in back in the early 80s used to play tnt, bad boy boogie, whole lotta rosie, problem child, live wire, long way to the top, highway to hell, dog eat dog, as well of lots of devo songs. So long ago.
I always loved Let Me Put My Love Into You, that one goes hard and sounds so simple.. but it hits the spot. It's actually impossible for me to pick a favorite song or album from ACDC because they're just that good. Walk All Over You is another one that really does it for me
Wow! My band! 1974 at 11 bought my 1st Alice Cooper Album. Awesome. Same year bought my 1st Kiss album. Fantastic. 1980 I finally get my head right and purchase my 1st AC DC album. Fawwwwk... Found my home. Thanks man, really appreciate!
I officially feel like I don't know anything about AC/DC I mean i am only 14 but still grew up in this world of amazing bands. like how i went to go see def leopard and motley crue and I just felt like i was on heaven that night
10 months late but better late than never. Killin it my brother 💪👊 You didn't get my favorite... Money Talks. My opinion, one of the best tracks they released. That guitar solo hits hard!
