In case anyone thinks I'm going soft...

I don't pay enough attention these days to AC/DC to be honest. It's in part because of local radio's overplay of the band. It's a smart business given the buying power of the listeners and it clearly sells, but I long ago tired of hearing the more popular songs because they beat them to death. The catalogue is deep, very deep so it didn't need to be Highway to Hell or You Shook Me All Night Long exclusively (though I too love those songs) or the two or three other songs that get all the radio play. Interestingly I very seldom hear AC DC on Sirius, it's almost the opposite of local FM.

Bon Scott era AC/DC is by far my favourite. Back in a Black was the only post Scott stuff I ever gave any attention to, an album heavily influenced by Scott anyway. I never really took to Brian Johnson, he always left me cold as a singer and a front man. He couldn’t hold a candle to Scott on the latter. The over the top radio play from the albums two biggest singles ruined it for me eventually.
Here’s a great B side you are guaranteed never to hear on any radio format.

Dance !!!

Man I was a big QCK fan back in the day. Saw those guys countless times, very underrated Canadian Band. Streetheart got all the love from those two Regina bands.
Love Alex Chuaqui and Kevin Fynn’s guitar tones. Just a straight ahead Strat/ Les Paul through a pinned 50 watt Marshall JCM800. Pure rock classic! This is my fave



Chuaqui also went on to form Strawdog, another great live bar band.

I like the Scott stuff better too but AC/DC was very lucky to find Johnson after Scott died, don't think the band would have been able to continue on without Johnson and be so successful. Lots of underrated AC/DC tunes with Johnson like this.

I dedicate these two tunes to the Jets...

Who succumbed to the Steers tonight...

About Scarlett, I know she originally began her appearance here in the Winnipeg threads. I introduced her to the Montreal threads in late 2020/21
season as a joke but then quite out of the blue the Habs started winning games all the way to the Stanley Cup finals! Her luck ran out this season

 

[Jets 31]

This is great.

Good ole Irish band ... from the Joshua Tree

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Heard Zaz in previous francofollie Montreal outdoor concerts.

 

[FFHockey]

This is great.

It is awesome! Nice guitar players in that band…
Bought the DVD and still haven’t watched it! Apparently Chuck was a real prick

I kinda of dig this song however the ongoing guitar rift is very familiar to me. Could be old disco song. Hoping someone here can recognize the rift rip off and name the song. It's been driving me crazy.

Could be Shadrach. 1st 7 seconds drum beat and tempo are very similar then Beastie boys bass is disco'ish, Neighborhood's is a slightly different funky trip-hop'ish bass.

To an old friend, on her birthday:

Quiet as night,
the angels came and closed your eyes,
and I guess I'll never know why,
but I'll always remember;
I promise to.

「君の幸せを　ボクは祈っているよ ... ずっと」
("I am praying for your happiness... always")

Did anyone see the Offspring on their last visit? If so, how was the show?

Inspired by this post:

That's it!
Sell, sell, sell!
Oh wait, ........................................

The original version of "Got My Mind Set On You" as recorded by James Ray in 1962. The song was written by Rudy Clark. George Harrison made it a hit in 1987. According to Wiki, Harrison first heard the song in 1963 (5 months before their Ed Sullivan appearance) while visiting his sister in Illinois. James Ray passed away in 1963, never knowing that this song would become a #1 hit.


In 1961, James Ray recorded the Rudy Clark penned song "If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody" The Beatles performed the song in their early gigs. A cool video of Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart and Keith Richards playing the song in concert.


Rudy Clark had another hit with "It's In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song). Originally recorded by Merry Clayton but never charted. A year later it ws recorded by Betty Everett and hit #1 on Cashbox Magazine charts. It later found a resurgence when Cher covered it in 1991


Rudy Clark also penned the tune "Good Lovin" made famous by The Rascals, but was originally recorded by The Olympics


Mr Rudy Clark, still alive and well at the age of 86

25 years ago, this is what a session band for a Japanese video game studio imagined what "future" music would sound like. And for whatever a gigantic atonal mess this song surely is, it's fun to "look back at looking forward", if you will; it's the musical equivalent of paintings in the 1970s that had us all in flying cars, Jetsons style, by the 2020s
