  • Let There Be Rock: the AC/DC Phenomenon
    Proceedings of the 24th Association of Public Authority Surveyors Conference (APAS2019) Pokolbin, New South Wales, Australia, 1-3 April 2019 Let There Be Rock: The AC/DC Phenomenon Volker Janssen APAS Publications Officer [email protected] ABSTRACT In a successful career spanning more than 45 years, AC/DC have persistently ignored trends in popular music and resolutely stuck to their bluesy, stripped-to-the-bone brand of high- voltage rock ’n’ roll. This paper investigates the AC/DC phenomenon by examining song lyrics and connotations, the band’s work rate, and the vocalist debate (Bon Scott vs. Brian Johnson). Furthermore, a group of 82 hardcore fans is examined to get a better understanding of their passion for the band, and it is outlined how the AC/DC brand is increasingly being marketed to a larger consumer base not limited to music lovers. It was found that the word ‘rock’ is by far the most prominent in AC/DC song titles but lyrically almost half of all AC/DC songs revolve around sex. While the frequency of album releases slowed considerably over time, the band generally played 150 live gigs following each studio album. Bon Scott material continues to account for at least 45% of the songs included in typical AC/DC live sets. Analysis of a questionnaire revealed how committed the cohort of hardcore fans is. They generally became serious fans in their early teens, prefer the older material, experienced their first gig during early adulthood and enjoyed up to 124 gigs since. This paper also demonstrates how one can collect, analyse, interpret and present data.

    « AC/DC, LE GROUPE MYTHIQUE » A comme Alternative C comme C urrent D comme Direct C comme Current (Courant Alternatif/Courant Continu) Pour célébrer leurs 40 ans de carrière et leur 16ème album, AC/DC entame une tournée mondiale de 40 concerts “Rock or Bust World Tour” jusqu'en 2016. Même si la composition du groupe diffère sur cette tournée, Angus Young (lead guitare), Stevie Young, (guitariste rythmique), Brian Johnson (chant) Chris Slade (batteur) et Cliff Williams (bassiste), sont tout autant énergiques que survoltés. C'est désormais sans le leader et guitariste rythmique du groupe, Malcolm Young, et Phil Rudd, le batteur, que le groupe poursuit l'aventure. Mais en mode alternatif ou en courant continu, AC/DC fait encore et toujours vibrer la planète. Dès la sortie de “Rock or Bust” dans les bacs en France, l'album se hisse directement en première place des charts nationaux. En moins de 24 heures, les concerts français affichent complet.

  • Solodallas Electronic Press
    SECRET TO ANGUS YOUNG’S LEGENDARY SOUND REVEALED The Schaffer Replica is a unique instrument effects unit with an equally unique backstory. Spanning four decades, three continents, and involving a world famous rock guitarist, a prolific inventor and an obsessive music fan from Italy, there is an almost cinematic quality in the narrative that traces the steps taken to reintroduce the world to the captivating tone that may have otherwise been lost forever. Born in Texas, but raised in Rome, Fil Olivieri, founder of SoloDallas, had been obsessed with AC/DC’s Back in Black (the sixth best-selling album ever with 40 million sales worldwide) since its release in 1980. In a quest to replicate the album’s distinctive tones, Olivieri began purchasing the same equipment as used by lead guitarist Angus Young (late ‘60s/early ‘70s Gibson SG guitars, late ‘70s Marshall amplifiers), but as close as he got, it was obvious there was still a key ingredient missing. For three decades, Olivieri was stumped, until he stumbled upon a 1984 interview in which Young was asked if he uses any effects in the studio. Young answered, “No, I just use a Schaffer-Vega [Diversity System].” Puzzled by the response, Olivieri wondered why anyone would mention a wireless system as an answer to a question regarding effects. Wireless systems help musicians run around on large stages without getting tangled in yards of cables, but they don’t manipulate actual tone . right? Typically not, but this case was far from typical. Young further explained in the interview that the Schaffer-Vega Diversity System (SVDS) had two controls on it with which one could further overdrive the amplifier, thus “giving the guitar hell.” Olivieri at that moment discovered the missing link to Angus’ elusive tone.

    Since 2014, ELECTRIC SHOCK has been perfecting the AC*DC show with a high energy performance, faithfully replicating AC*DC both musically and visually, proving they are the nations #1 AC*DC show! Playing all the classic hits and deeper cuts from both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras! This show is not just a tribute, but an experience that will give you the look, feel and sound like you are witnessing an actual AC*DC concert! ELECTRIC SHOCK’s “Angus Young” Johnny Degiorgio, who is originally from Australia and standing at a height of 5’2” tall, Johnny has meticulously been playing the role of Angus since the early 90’s in Australia under the band Dirty Deeds. For over 20 years Johnny has dedicated his passion to mirroring Angus’s schoolboy uniform, duckwalk, and guitar solos! Note for note he does justice to his hometown heroes using the same gear to achieve their iconic sound, with an original 1961 Gibson SG straight into Marshall Plexi heads, no pedals, just attitude and a wall of Marshall stacks! His counterpart Eric Richeal, pays homage to Malcolm Young’s looks and authentic tone. He uses identical Gretsch guitars strung up with the same thick string gauges Malcolm uses, which is integral for the driving force of AC*DC’s rhythm. On vocals, John Kiss delivers an amazing vocal range, who has been quoted as “A young Brian Johnson that can still hit the high notes!”, as well as effortlessly accomplishing the legendary voice and delivery of his favorite singer Bon Scott.

  • HELL's BELLES Are First and Foremost Dedicated AC/DC Fanatics
    HELL'S BELLES are first and foremost dedicated AC/DC fanatics. This is what we all have in common. We're all part of a huge community of devotees to one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands in the world. This is who we all are, and this is what HELL'S BELLES strives to deliver with mechanical precision and passionate fury. Endorsed by Angus Young himself (Blender Magazine, 2003), HELL'S BELLES are the closest one can get without actually moving to Australia and joining AC/DC's road crew. HELL'S BELLES formed in 2000, the brainchild of former member, Amy Stozenbach (guitar), alongside former member, Om Johari (vocals). The current line-up features original member Laura D, heavy hitter as Phil Rudd (drums), Mandy Reed, rock solid and born ready as Cliff Williams (Bass guitar), Lisa Brisbois, sly and subtly intense as part time Malcolm Young, Sharon Needles of Betty Blowtorch/Butt Trumpet fame part time Malcolm Young (Rhythm guitar), all the way from Australia, Amber Saxon the kind of hard rock bombastic power that makes no apologies and is dangerous around the edges as Bon Scott & Brian Johnson (Vocals) and Adrian Conner, dreadlock slinger and wicked as Angus Young (lead Guitar). HELL'S BELLES are indeed ALL female, all the way to their rock-n-roll cores, all the lime and without exception. Representing for a whole new generation of women that won't be intimidated, HELL'S BELLES actively encourage our legions of lady fans to stand up and be counted, and collaborate with women musicians and causes as a part of the mission towards rock and roll inclusion.
