Anyone actually put off by AC/DC playing?

[andydee]

I genuinely don't want to see them live. I don't like their music and tbh, I think a guy in his 60s prancing around in a school boy uniform is (to put it lightly) too weird. I won't put me off going but, I certainly wouldn't see them play. If I go to download, I won't be watching them. I'll be down at the second stage are at the bar. I don't care how legendary they are. I don't want to see a stage show, I want to see (in my own opinion) a good performance. This includes good music, good quality of playing and then the stage show. Like I saw Tool in 2006 and was heavily unimpressed. My friend told me I had to see them... I could've missed them and wouldn't have cared. So, yeah. Maybe I'm hard to please, I don't know but, y'know. Not interested in seeing AC/DC at all.

Where does the logic that AC/DC fans only like ac/dc come from? They aren't a different species you know.

In our group there are 5 of us, all pushing 40, and every single one of us is dead keen on 7 of the nine bands announced so far.

Thats a great vid, Ive got the DVD of that gig, and its f**king ace.

Such a shame Bon wasnt around for it!

BJ is a great frontman, but I always have that "if only" thought about Bon creeping up on me!

NO THIS IS NOT AN I HATE AC/DC AND NEVER WANTED THEM TO PLAY!!! THREAD...

Does anybody get a feeling of not wanting to go because, the atmosphere from Weds to the day they headline could suck? I mean there's gonna be a lot of AC/DC fans there to see only them...

I was thinking about this a lot and it kinda made me think about not going... just don't know. Not saying that all punters are going to be 'boring old OOFAs' but, I don't know...

Anyone else thinking the same?

[t8yman]

Me too, completely agree.

BJ is ok, but just doesn't have that "something" that Bon had, but then no point in living in the past eh. Still looking forward to seeing them. I had tickets for the O2 gig, but couldn't make it so had to sell them

I will say. I won't be seeing them, for no reason other than, I don't like them. Never have, never will. Tom and they boys can go and I'll see whoever is second stage (still praying for someone awesome like NFG or BFS)

Paramore are/were heavily rumoured to be second stage headliners to clash with AC/DC. I think if you watched them you'd change your mind about them though.
