    Hells Bells is probably my favorite from AC/DC, though they aren't one of my favorite bands. I do respect them and their influence however.

    HAHAH that happens to me too.

    I don't like AC/DC very much. I like some of the songs, where there is more of a lyrical singing style (even like the big balls song) but I hate the screaming, for some reason I can't stomach it. I love screaming in metal. Just not AC/DC for some reason... it makes no sense, really.

    AC/DC ain't metal. It's good. But it ain't metal.

    metal is one of the broadest musical categories ever. It was penned from a steppenwolf song for crying out loud. I'm sure many of your so called "metal bands" would name AC/DC as an influence.

    AC/DC is not metal... it's a thin line between rock and metal bands but the overall genre that AC/DC does is rock. The band itself and the listeners tag it as a rock group (hard rock, classical rock)

    Actually it's a damn blues band doing rock songs and it certainly qualifies as metal. Genres are grey areas anyway...if you ask me there's way to many of them. To say AC/DC isn't metal is akin to saying Black Sabbath isn't also...which just about every band playing metal would dispute.

    Aye...Ride on, Little Lover are the blues extremes but all of their works are blues.

    I wonder what prompted that statement.

    Of course you can tag AC/DC as metal if you so want to.. you can tag 'em as rap also but that doesn't change the fact that they have always classified their music as "rock and roll" *and so have most of the listeners* it depends on a lot of things, but the overall music they do is rock

    "Hard Rock" is what we old fuckers call "Metal."

    R.E.O. Speedwagon is "rock." One cannot place REO in the same genre as AC/DC. There is a distinct difference.

    Aw...it's all subjective and... fuck it.

    Jon, now you know REO Speedwagon is more like death metal than just rock.

    No Brice, it's not death metal either. It's more like music to commit suicide to.

    As for AC/DC, it could be called metal even though the band itself doesn't acknowledge that. I looked up metal bands on wikipedia and oddly enough, Metallica has no mention anywhere. That is one of the top metal bands IMO. It also listed Led Zepplin as well as Jimi Hendrix as metal. Not where I would have put either one of them, but that's just me.

    Wiki eh? Hmph.... Zepp and Jimi could be considered proto-metal but I wouldn't go farther than that. There are definite hallmarks that define metal from other genres but don't tell that to Lemmy. He doesn't consider Motorhead anything more than a rock 'n roll band. But they definitely do have the HM sound down to a "T". I think subject matter has much to do with what defines metal. Drinking, chicks and partying don't rate. Occult, fighting, sword and sorcery, the apocolypes, these are stereotypical metal themes.

    A thin line, yet you insist on using absolutist terminology... "not" in bold etc...

    Yeah, it is all blues and you can hear it in the bands who have more subtle progressions. Maybe I'd give them a copy of Robert Johnson's "king of the delta blues" and tell them this is where it all started.

    It's all so subjective. But "Rock and Roll" or "Rock" is a very general term to distinguish from classical or easy listening etc. Elvis is "Rock" as is Mayhem...but there is a distinct departure of the two. To say that AC/DC is rock and roll is like saying dogs are from the phyla, animalia. It is true, but does not help us distinguish a dog from a fox.

    Interesting...lyrics from a song called If You Want Blood You Got It by a band known as AC/DC.


    "...Blood on the rocks
    Blood on the streets
    Blood in the sky
    Blood on the sheets

    If you want blood
    you got it

    Want you to bleed for me"


    By this same band

    C.O.D. - the devil in me

    I can't pick one song but it would have to be from either Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, ... And Justice For All, Reign In Blood, Blackwater Park, or Ghost Reveries!
