Quite the fan of AC/DC, Arneb is. Any reason in particular, Arneb?

Really, I already told you in the band, name or verse thread - I like music handmade, and I don't shy away from simplicity, even though I am usually the classical guy. Then there is Bon Scott's voice. I am a tenor myself, and I am totally in awe of the way Bon Scott manages to sing all those melodies in a high and at the same time sound totally masculine (Brian Johnson is a step down for me). Plus, Angus' groove is really awesome and quite difficult to imitate (just listen to all the amateur videos on youtube where the bands chose to cover AC/DC because it's oh so simple... ). And sometimes, there is that spark of irony in their texts. Listening to them is thoroughly relaxing for me.
From what I wrote you might infer I could also like hundreds of other bands and singers. Which is true, but somehow I never got around to listening in...

So you find "heavy metal" thoroughly relaxing? Drift off to sleep to the strains of "Highway to Hell?", do you? :?
Kids today.
Damn good band, but not my favourite genre.

They are, you know, not the archetypical ALL CAPS, always SHOUTING ABOUT SATAN AND DEATH heavy metal band with eyes bulging out with ferocious evility all the time. As Malcolm Young once remarked, "It's a long toyme since oy attehnded ma last sahtennic mehss, ya know".
They play hard, slow, bluesy rock'n'roll, they have loads of fun doing it (and other things related to rock'n'roll), and that, yes, is relaxing for me.
Reminds me of a story my music teacher once told me. He is a really artsy kind of guy, very much into everything that makes music exquisite, from counterpoint (be it Bach or Luigi Nono) to a weltschmerzy Schubert and Brahms to the permanently orgasming Richard Strauss.
And he once sat in his car, was late for school, it was rotten weather, and he was in the middle of a huge traffic jam literally biting into his steering wheel, when suddenly AFN started playing country music. Not his kind of music. At. All. But he suddenly noticed how the somewhat monotonous, friendly, banal music sounding from his loudspeakers made him peaceful, quiet, and accepting. And thus he stopped-and-goed to work in a happy little mood coming in an hour late.
Yes, ACDC are not friendly, but - you get the idea.

Veritas, Arneb, you caught me on a double T.
Very sorry. :P

Well, one can always forget that we are in an alphabet game when our discussion is as exhileratingly interesting as it is, can't one?

Creme drop candies for breakfast isn't particularly nutritious, is it? Especially with a Coke Zero.

Holy crap! You guys finally got the thread going again.
No trees were killed in the posting of this message.
