So what exactly is wrong with listing my two preferred lineups and stating why I'll take those even though it doesn't include my favorite drummer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's more like those two in particular recorded my top four or five albums so by default they're kind of my favorite "whole package" whereas my favorite drummer in particular is certainly Slade simply because I like the way he plays the songs. In this case the output does affect my favorite lineup only because poor Slade wouldn't have any tunes to play otherwise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) I actually like Simon Wright's drum style. Who Made Who and Blow Up Your Video - both albums have awesome drums tracks. I know that some of the fans doesn't like the way he plays the hi-hat but I have to disagree with that. It's probably just my personal preference.

It's probably just my personal preference. I like his drumming on his own stuff. I think he was also the first AC/DC drummer to actually use the ride cymbal for more than just a tap or a crash (since he rides on it for the chorus of Who Made Who). I just find I don't like his fills all that much on the classics (and of course the way he plays his hi-hat, but that's more of a nitpick than anything).

Detroit '83 and RIR I 1985 are two of my favourite concerts with him. I always hoped for a official release. I'm glad that some of the songs from Detroit '83 are available on Plug Me In.

Bon posse rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It is not a question of productivity but quality. Back in Black aside, those two line-ups with Bon and Phil contain all of AC/DC's truly great albums: Let There Be Rock, Powerage, Highway to Hell, etc. The band were unbelievably sleazy in those days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexC Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Angus, Malcolm, Bon, Cliff and Phil. With Angus, Malcolm, Brian, Cliff and Phil as an extremely close second. Both for the same reasons @James Bond stated. They produced the most iconic albums. I do think the Axl/DC lineup kicks ass though and I actually prefer Axl's versions of a few Brian songs over the originals. But superior vocals isn't nearly enough to come close to the history of the classic lineups. Edited May 28, 2017 by AlexC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Brian's vocals were fantastic in the 70's (with Geordie), 80's and early 90's but declined since then. It was just a pain to listen recent live performances of songs like Shoot To Thrill or Thunderstruck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
