    Bon Scott. Brian just doesn't cut it.

    Not sure I like this cover. However, I would like to note that Shania is much, much, much hotter than both Bon and Brian.

    Shania is the hottest client that Mutt worked with. Too bad that he left her "High and Dry", just like AC/DC after the "For Those About To Rock" album.

    It sems to be AC/DC night here.:biggrin:

    What I really don't understand is how Mutt could cheat on her. He had one of the sexiest women alive (IMO), and it still wasn't good enough for him? What a sad, sad man.

    Yes, it's much cleaner than the original.

    Really? I guess an appropriate post to re-enter our atmosphere with. Hope all is well Joe, I don't want details, but I'm glad to know you are still among the living.

    Bon Scott obviously, even though Brian has his merits, IMO they have put some good material after back in black.

    Long live ACDC!

    How can something so awful come out of something so beautiful? If she'd sang it straight and with some soul I could see it working but to countrify such a great classic rock song is blasphemy.

    guess I'll have to go with ole Bon Scott......but that's probably cause I haven't been to see AC\DC since the Highway To Hell tour...:biggrin:.... so I'm a little biased .....I was fortunate enough to see them twice that tour...Back in Black was last really good cd by the fellas ...the latest was OK

    I don't necessarily agree with that. Sometimes genre changes can be quite successful; it just wasn't in this case.

    I will use my favorite example, that being the song Hurt. Originally a gritty rock song by Nine Inch Nails, it was covered by Johnny Cash as a raw country ballad. To say that it worked well is an understatement in my opinion. Johnny took it and made it into something better than the original.

    True that, but Johnny could take any song and make it sound great. He also did Rusty Cage and it was every bit as good as the original.

    Well since Flick of Switch is my favorite album then I guess my fav singer is BJ
    It was around that time that I began to move away from AC/DC to really good bands like Ratt and Dokken! :redface::redface::redface: (Yeah, who's more listenable 20-30 years later...) For some reason, I dismissed this album and never really got into anything after this. Think I'll have to pick up a copy of this, if you say it's that good...

    However, a quick look at wikipedia has this:
    On the recorded commentary on the album for the Live at Donington DVD, the band states the album was an attempt to make the band raw again, and while they were happy with the result, the album became known as one of their biggest flops, however Malcolm and Angus still consider the album an achievement and still stand by it.

    So, probably worth a few bucks at one of the used music stores.

    I loved the old Bon AC/DC, and I really loved the first two Brian albums... don't know what happened to me after that. :rolleyes:

    So, has an account been hi-jacked or what?

    Sorry Mike for the thread derail but this has got me stumped. Is it his wife or something trying to play the role or what? Regardless of whether it's him or not.....

    It's not funny.
    It's not Joe as we know him.
    If it is Joe, lay off that ****. Seriously dude.
    If it isn't Joe, get bent and don't sell his rig. It's not yours to sell. No buyers here, we'll make sure of it. Go away and get a life, you hag.
