Shuffle Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 They're way to unoriginal for me... I'm not a that big fan of AC/DC either, so if I want that type of music I'll just put on Highway To Hell or Back In Black. Airbourne's Runnin Wild album is pretty much a clone of AC/DC/Rose Tattoo/aussie rock sound and it doesn't add anything new... But if you love that type of music I suppose it would be good, to me it's just "meh", and AC/DC have lots of albums that are better. Not bad, but far from good. Live on the other hand these guys are a great, great live band - or rather the frontman/singer/guitarist is awesome live, the rest of them ain't nothing special. I saw them open for Motorhead about a month ago and they were really good, far better than Motorhead. If you're really into the whole AC/DC/Rose Tattoo sound and want more despite having all of AC/DC's album, then Airbourne is probably something for you - otherwise I don't see the point.

Randy Lahey Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I think it's pretty funny that an AC/DC coverband was given a record deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandNewCadillac Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Terrible band. Not only do they bring nothing original, they also sound like a bad AC/DC cover band.If I want AC/DC, I'll listen to AC/DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I like what i've heard from them so far, Too Much Too Young Too Fast, Runnin' Wild and Diamond in the Rough. They're like a modern AC/DC perhaps with their simple template, i'd imagine an album of theirs is enjoyable and simple; i might go and look for it. AC/DC and Airbourne should have a rock off.

Getizzyback Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 There OK, but people, they don't sound EXACTLY like AC/DC!!!!!!!!!!!The singer sounds more like Tom Keifer (Cinderella) than Bon Scott, and I'm ROTFLMFAO onthe singer sounds like Brian Johnson....Give me a fucking break! If you like hard rock with good sound quality from the studio, then give these guys a shot, people should stop the sounds like him, her, and them bullshit, and listen for yourself.For the record, though, I think their earlier EP really sucks.

ScottRose Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Actually they compare themselves more to Rose Tattoo, but everyone else compares them to AC/DC. I have their album, and I enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdo242 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If it wasn't for Airbourne, I might've actually bought the new AC/DC album. They are the most unoriginal band I've ever heard. Worse than Wolfmother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 It's one thing to sound like you're influenced by a band, but these guys sound a little too much like AC/DC, and not a very good interpretation at all. If I want AC/DC, I'll listen to the real AC/DC, not this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pretty much has most claiming "If I want AC/DC, I'll listen to the real AC/DC" That pretty much claims that they sound pretty much like AC/DC! No, maybe not quite exactly, but about as close to exactly as you can get! As for Brian Johnson, I apoligize, I have read other threads where people claim the singer sounds a lot like Brian, and I guess some of that carried me over to this thread.Some of the rhythms in their songs are pretty AC/DC tight, but the singer in this group makes them sound more like a typical 80's hard rock group IMO.

Black Sabbath Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I apologize as well, I misread your post too. I thought you were aiming the "sounding just like AC/DC" only to the thread starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusisSavior Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 They're almost identical to AC/DC except for the fact no one can come close to the magic between Angus & Mal.It could be a good or bad thing- i'm just happy someone is trying to keep alive the rock n roll spirit&sound!I got real excited about this band, but after a week of plays they got boring- whereas I'm still listening to AC/DC after years of playage; there's just garenteed longevity in anything they put out, it's insane. Few bands are like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusions Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Sorry I feel a bit stupid now that I said he sounded like brian johnson it really is nothing like him at all, more like angry anderson. too much too young to fast sounds just like a rose tattoo song.

Dead Flower Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Watched these guys at the BDO.They won me over the minute they used the Terminator 2 score as their intro music. The lead singer said the word 'fuck' about 50 times, downed an entire bottle of Margaret River shiraz, and climbed the scaffolding for a guitar solo.

Powerage5 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Saw them open for Maiden in Cardiff in 2011, I enjoyed them. Nothing amazing, but a fun band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
