Why ‘cringe’ AC/DC comment is just embarrassing

https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/tours/why-cringe-acdc-comment-is-just-embarrassing/news-story/b1b0d3f88edbadda414e4abddf5da706 

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.

Bon Scot legacy: How Perth AC/DC fans unlocked the singers unseen treasures

Just because he is in spirit doesn’t mean he doesn’t age. We finish that incarnation on the other side of life. Then take up a new incarnation with new personality and identity from within our soul group. 

So he is still the exact same person as he was in the physical world. I have had him in spirit around me for a few years, due to an unresolved issue he has. I have a mutual friend with him, but I will never impart any information to anyone other than a relative of his family and he is well aware of that.

Courtney Hadwin what a star

This girl is on fire wow. The first time I saw her on YouTube I thought she was channelling someone like Janice Joplin. I still feel she is someone that was a powerful singer in a previous life. She is just amazing as she is this shy little girl that somehow is channelling this amazing talent.

You have got to love that voice, she is a one off. I pray that the light of her star shines bright for a very long time; this girl she has something very special within her.

Skyhooks, Horror movie its the 6.30 news

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyhooks_(band)

I grew up listening to these guys, from when I first came to Australia in 1973, aged 10. They were such an iconic band and still are. I remember Shirl being on a kids tv show called Shirl’s neighbourhood.

In later years he was on a DIY  tv show and then in 2001, he was killed in a helicopter crash. A very sad day for Aussie music. Then we had the loss of  Peter  Starkie  on September 16, 2020, he fell from a ladder aged 72.

Red Symons had a close call not so long ago , which is in the ABC link below, under related stories.

You can watch Skyhooks videos on YouTube, and hopefully become a fan. Australia was an awesome place growing up in the 70s.
