How can someone get off about a song like Highway to Hell and take it THAT literally? It’s just a rock n roll song! What the heck did Niven think he was doing with Guns in the 80s? Advocating rape? I mean when he takes some Highway to hell literally I wonder why not „It’ so easy“ or the album cover? lol This is the thing - he keeps mentioning that song Night Prowler and the guy who went around raping and murdering women saying AC/DC made him do it... but then what about UTLH and the guy who recently it was reported he listened to UTLH before he killed his girlfriend... ? And past controversies, I really don’t think you can compare AC/DC to that of GNRs, much of which Niven admits to encouraging because it sold records and built the myth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who would say stuff like that here, would be regarded as a nutter. Not saying all Americans are like that, obviously. But you would never hear stuff like that here. I don’t know why he would’ve wanted to book GNR to tour with AC/DC - then AC/DC told them to get lost after Axl’s behaviour - sooooooo he booked them to play with... Iron Maiden! 666 Number of the Beast lol!!! I think Niven is from New Zealand and not American but still... it’s really weird. And yes, that side of Americans is odd to us - when I went to Disneyland in Paris there were some Americans there talking really loudly about how odd us Europeans are and how we don’t like to spend money on anything and we’re all very miserable looking - like nobody in Europe understands English! They were oblivious to the fact everyone could tell exactly what they were saying! The Americans I met in New York were very cool though, love NY Edited December 11, 2018 by MillionsOfSpiders 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Zealand of course has many nutters too, don't they, @Oldest Goat Niven just sounds very bitter and not really consistent, with all the AC/DC and Iron Maiden stuff. It's funny, those cultural differences. So arrogant, those Americans in Disneyland. I wonder how many languages they spoke. And, btw, going to Disneyland when they're in Paris/Europe Perhaps they were getting homesick. It's like Belgians traveling to New York and then eating at a Belgian restaurant. (You can insert any nationality, of course.) Seems really odd to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Does Niven have a New Zealand accent to you, native speakers? Because to me he does not. He sounds like some forced British accent to me. I thought he was American trying to sound „British". Edited December 11, 2018 by Tori72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fake accent really, one that middle class people use because they’re sooo posh and soooo intelligent No, I really wouldn’t want to sound like the Royal Family - that is such an absurd way of talking. A nice British accent to me, hmmmm, do we have any nice ones haha.. but I guess cockneys are fun to hear talking and I like the Manchester accent and of course South Yorkshire just a normal, down to earth accent, really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many jealous, greedy, lying, weird and egomanic people around this band, it can’t be a coincident anymore.
