yeah, but those same chords and that same drum beat freaking rock!!!!
but even then, it's not true, and that's what I'm saying. anyone who knows all their albums/different eras, knows it's not all the same three chords and the same drum beat, but who's heard all their stuff??? Their big albums and huge hits are so cemented in people's consciousness, it's like they never did anything else. but kinda like how the late 60's - 70's Beach Boys used to be, if you dig in and examine, there is a lot more going on.

i havent heard all their stuff to be honest but all that i heard sounded so similar and the same
it's like listening to "you really got me" & "all day and night" over and over again (it's cuz they sound the same as well lol)

I hear ya!
Just keep in mind, they've had two very different singers, 3 drummers, various producers and have been at it for 30 + years. They got more metal sounding (much to my liking) immediately following Back In Black up until maybe Ballbreaker, so that period is when they're almost a different band from the Bon Scott days. From Ballbreaker on they've kinda gone back to their 70's sound but with Brian on vocals, and it works.

I would say the "Grateful Dead" are overrated...just don't get them..15 minute long songs with the same three chords playing over and over with long guitar solos..I guess I have to be on acid to understand it..

I like them both about equally.
Bon wrote better lyrics, but Brian's voice in his prime was unreal and I like his more shredded voice too. I kinda like that there are two singers because I can get sick of both of them, and when it happens, I can just listen to the other guy for a while till I get sick of him

I'm not a
big
fan (like I am of the Beach Boys) but one of my favorite pastimes is putting on Live At Donnington at full volume on my stereo system....that version of Let There Be Rock is one of my favorite rock songs ever.
I was never a huge fan of the Bon era....though I LOVE 'It's a long way to the top (if you wanna r&r)'. Bon's voice never did it for me....That raw power of Brian's really gave AC/DC a kick ass edge. I was always fascinated with the story about how Brian got involved with the band and how well they were accepted by the public after Back In Black....a sad but great story.
I still play Back In Black on occasion, but I overplayed it during college and haven't been able to really get back into it since
So you're not the only fan on this board!!

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!
"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.
Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Good to hear!
And you also get high props for not praising AC/DC by immediately dissing Brian, as so many people do.
It is indeed a fascinating story and there's nothing like it in rock history: a band replacing their lead singer and going on to become one of the biggest bands of all-time. Though to say Brian replaced Bon is kind of unfair. Bon died! They didn't kick him out or he didn't quit. There's simply AC/DC! There's Bon/Brian and they both rock.
If you're sick of Back In Black, toss on Flick Of The Switch! That damn thing rocks like no one's business!
