Silent Jay Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Angus might have another good concept. Another Thunderstruck. Highway to Hell. For Those About To Rock. Axl at the same time should bring the Whole Lotta Rosie, You Shook Me All Night Long or Let There Be Rock. It will be mostly about nostalgia, how good it is to Rock. But at the same time, how to Rock until your very last breath. Edited April 19, 2018 by Silent Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Graeme Posted April 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think I could write AC/DC lyrics these days... Write navel-gazing lyrics about about how awesome Rock n' Roll is, or drinking, throw in a few electricity metaphors, maybe some references to hell and some poorly-veiled sexual innuendo and we're basically there. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think it would be as easy as pie for Axl Rose. First of all its his stock in trade. And second of all its become pretty much about self parody for bands like AC/DC and The Stones, bands that have been writing for a long long time that had a certain style. Its almost a form unto itself and with anything thats a form in that sense, especially one with the attendant simplicity as what AC/DC and straight rock n roll of that particular stripe demand, it'd be a walk in the park for him. A welcome relief even, from the deep and searching, laying your soul on the line pretentious bollocks that he's been obsessed with writing since the Illusions albums. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modano09 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 AC/DC lyrics wouldn't be that hard to write, he probably won't do them alone, probably could come up with most of them while he's on the toilet, and would probably like to just sing about nothing that means anything for a change.

AC/DC is a Glasgow-Aussie band who later acquired a Geordie. The question is, how boozy is this band? Vive l' denim and cirrhosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Axl can write lyrics better than we heard on the recent albums but he cannot match the lyrics on Back in Black and the amazing lyrics Bon wrote in the 70`s. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoop Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Agreed. Axl can't touch classic AC/DC as a lyricist, but he could do better than the recent stuff. The question is will Angus let him. I'm guessing he won't. As far as booziness, I'd say not very boozy these days. Angus is a lifelong teetotaler and I doubt Stevie and Slade are out there tearing it up either. Axl is probably the booziest guy involved here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourMother'sDruthers Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Wouldn't be very hard... just have to talk about "rocking". Lol I think Axl is creatively spent though... the song "Scraped" is a testament to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's So Easy, Anything Goes, Out Ta Get Me. Pretty straight forward lyrics if you ask me and not that far off from some of AC/DC's lyrics. Straight forward, but a lot more pissed off....in a good way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadRain Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 This topic has made me think about all the great lyrics Bon Scott wrote. Here are some of my favorite Bon Scott lines: "She was number nine, ninety-nine on the clinical list /And I fell in love with the dirty little bitch" "Being a bad boy ain't that bad/I've had me more dirty women than most men ever had" "I know I ain't doing much/Doing nothing means a lot to me" "Outta my way I'm a running highTake a chance with me and give it a tryAin't no woman in the world I know'Cause I ain't lookin' for an overflow" And many more....
