Err, Maybe the wingers should either shut the hell up, or just try to do over many decades what these guys have done from scratch. AC/DC don’t have anything to prove, nor do they give a shit what some wee boys say. They have stood the test of time, as have the Rolling Stones and others.
Vocal range changes over the years and depending on what one’s singing style is, it can be more intense on the vocal cords. You cannot compare Brian Johnson to Mick Jagger either, as their music is a different genre requiring different vocal styles. One has also to learn how not to damage the vocal cords when singing like Brian does or heavy metal vocalists do or the career span would be very short. Smoking heavily and drinking too much alcohol is another factor, not just from the risks of cancer and many other health risks and perhaps not getting covered by insurance if they neglect their health. This is a multi million dollar business after all it’s not some young blokes playing in a mere garage.
One cannot maintain the lifestyle of a 20 year old in one’s 70’s or even in one’s 40’s. Intelligent people understand that a healthy lifestyle will promote a lasting career and lifespan. Maintaining bodily health not just to follow your passion in any life choices but, not ending up in your grave through stupidity.
As for Angus’s attire, that’s his gimmick, yes maybe it’s a bit over done at his age. But that’s his choice and if he still wants to do that, good on him. He is not taking himself seriously, he’s a showman and his fans expect him to dress this way on stage.
Even the journalist comes across as a complete wanker, he’s got nothing on these guys! Real music stopped by the early 1990’s, now it’s all auto tuned and garbage. Factory production line trash to be blunt.
What ever rocks your boat as they say, but before crapping on the real men in rock, get off your arse and do exactly what they did starting with nothing and learning from those that came before you. Then keep going to you get this old, and see how fit you are as well as your vocal skills. The rule is never send a wee boy to do a man’s job it’s just casting pearls before swine.
