Well, honestly, Angus has written plenty of licks that were better than a large majority of bands from back then, I'm not saying he's better than those other guitarists, just that in my mind, he wrote better licks than a lot of them. I do sort of think that maybe you're expecting too much when AC/DC has done well with putting out good music consistently, more or less that is.

The music is good, but you wish the band took on changes throughout their career. I think my opinion that change was, or is not necessary for AC/DC is proven fact by how long they've been going now, releasing albums that sound just like the band always has, and their fanbase is still growing. What they do works for them. It's reason enough for them to not change anything, and it's just fine with me.

I'm not expecting much from them and it's not like I don't like them, but I always hear people refer to Angus as a god and I'm just not hearing it man. Maybe I should just quit hanging out with rednecks.

I understand where you're coming from, and I share your opinion of Angus; he's good, but hardly the greatest there is. And I'm even a little annoyed when I have a conversation, here or when I'm with friends and the subject of the greatest guitarist comes up, and everyone is just gushing over Angus. I just stand there questioning if my friends live in a small world within their head where they only got as far as Angus on a list of great guitarists to check out.

satirical rant/

I would like AC/DC to continue to make albums until the end of time just to piss off the crowd that insists bands make albums that sound nothing like their prior albums.

I wouldn't dwell on what I was referring to, because all I was really doing, was playing off of what you said...wasn't supposed to make sense or anything.
