Doesn't make the headline incorrect.

Thunderstruck is the most played song at sports venues, that alone makes them buckets of money.

I think there are a few Rockefellers that would demand a recount.

In before the Keith Richards quote that everyone uses in an AC/DC thread.

I came for the Kanye lolz, leaving disappointed.

The Young family is from Scotland, so was Bon, so is Brian....Phil I think is an Aussie & Cliff is American. Dave Evans I think is Australian but he hardly counts...Mark Evans is an Aussie as well but no one has seen him in 30 years. Chris Slade & Simon Wright are Brits....oh, the headline was metaphorical in nature...then never mind.

 
Uncle_Slacker 2009-11-04 01:53:45 PM  
I seem to recall the Youngs and Brian Johnson are from Scottland as was Bon Scott.

Not sure about Phil and Cliff (or that other bass player from way back... Mark or something?)

Isn't Brian Johnson a geordie? If so the headline is still correct.

Oh, you mean the one that goes "Mrmh frmha, rfhm frum mrfff heh heh heh."?

If that means "from Manchester UK" then yes.

Ah, It must of been the being born in Gateshead and sounding like a tyne-sider that threw me off.

wtf? why does he sound like a geordie? hell, wasn't his old band even called "geordie?"

AC/DC also look better at 50-60 than modern bands do now - it does a little justice in the picture, but Brian Johnson hands out free tickets to the gun show - and has a reason for doing so.

/He benches 235. I'm lucky to hit 200... I'm also 6'4".

My son's name is Angus. True.

 
madmann [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 05:41:44 PM  
Both lead singers and both guitarists born in the UK....

So basically, the bassist & drummer of AC-DC are the richest criminal descendants of all time.

Nobody mentions the Kennedy family?

Nope, Cliff is from England and both he and Brian live in Florida.

So.... Phil?

Phil Rudd is the richest Aussie entertainer in the world?

That's almost hard to believe.

What about Rupert?

Fark yeah. +1 for Subby.

BTW, here is Brian Johnson's awesome appearance on "Top Gear":

?????

Brian Johnson is originally from Newcastle, England, and Cliff Williams is a fellow Brit.

However....

I heard that both of them live in Florida, so maybe they're American citizens as well.

The Youngs and Bon Scott were living in Australia when AC/DC was formed. They are originally from Scotland.

 
Zombie Eater 2009-11-06 12:17:17 AM  
I saw AC/DC last night. I've been burnt out on them since I was a kid, but holy shiat did they rock the house! I expected them to be slow and plodding on stage. Brian might've moved a little grampa-ish, but Angus was on farking fire. The only thing he's lost is some hair. They still out-play many a modern band.

 
bodhi1971 2009-11-06 12:30:40 PM  
The_Sponge: m N

Yeah, I goofed Cliff, is a Brit...he lives in Florida though & I think that's what I was thinking at the time...I heard Brian lives in Hawaii....with their kind of money they could afford a nice condo on the moon though.

 
Uncle_Slacker 2009-11-06 02:16:07 PM  
Just in case you Rock 'n' Rollas care, Cliff's daughter caught a case of the HOT.
