"Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution
Rock and Roll ain't gonna die
Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution
Rock and Roll it will survive" - AC/DC made it very clear!
YEAAAAAAH
Just because rock n roll is not mainstream does not mean it's dead. there'll still be kids like me who value it over today's insubstantial music. radio play or not, it's still with us all.
like AC/DC said, rock n roll, it will survive.
ew rock and roll. doesnt even have a bass drop
yeah but its not about sex and drugs
FunGun04 obviously you haven't heard of Guns N' Roses XD
Like Steve Byrne once said, "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO SEX, DRUGS, AND ROCK N' ROLL???"
rock is dead until that one band will revive it
Angus always looks like he just woke from a 20 hour nap
And he doesn't drink or do drugs.
Les Reid he’s a teetotaler and he’s a cutie!
And then he's on the stage, better in physique and shape than most of you 20 yr olds
JasjotSingh Malhotra yes he is. And he looks like a giant teddy bear. Wait he’s an Angy Bear!
He's a heavy smoker though
Angus always looks so happy in his own little dream world!
Angus is such a sweet human being!!!! He's nothing like he is in person compared to what he is on stage!!! On stage he's just 3 hours of pure T.N.T no pun intended!!!
Angus' laugh is so contagious he's such a nice down to earth guy! and so is Brian!
I fucking love these guys! I love you Angus, I love you Brian. AC DC needs to play in Brasil, I can't die without see you play live.
Brian sounds like some guy who would make everyone enjoy a story
What's the catch about their music? No catch! They just love rock and roll and they are thrilled to share that passion with us. As Angus said, just two guitars, bass, drums, vocals.... And there you go! Pure magic of AC/DC!
"There are only two rock and roll bands, The Rolling Stones & Us." - Malcolm Young
amen
John Smith “there’s rock bands, certain types of metal, but no rock n roll bands just the stones and us” I seen the interview too.
Clearly Gene Simmons hasn't seen AC/DC's packed-ass stadiums.
Rock isn't alive until the newer bands of 2010s start packing out stadiums since they are the torch carriers of the genre.
I'll be the one to say it, I saw KISS live a year or two back and I was really excited about it, and they sucked. Underwhelming and dry, easily one of the most overrated bands ever.
@@sahulianhooligan7046 They got some big shoes to fill. Only the classic rockers are really keeping the scene alive. A lot of newer bands really aren’t that good.
"Well Im here to say Gene, you're wrong. I say its alive and kicking! My name is Brian, how do ya do?" God I love the way Brian answerd the question xD
Rock Will Make a Come Back By The Year 2020.
.
+James S Only if something changes within the music industry to make it go back to where a person has to buy a physical cd. Bands tour again..sell t-shirts..the whole process.. i don't see it. Society has become a instant gratification, expect everything for nothing. A band that has labored to make their craft doesn't stand a chance to be iconic.
I sure hope so
Ryan Camberos, i agree 100000%. there's a band call ed Greta Van Fleet and even if they sound too much like zepplein, they still have many years ahead of them to keep on rocking and i think they will be the beginning of a comebace withen the next year and a half
Corona: I don't think so...
Gotta love AC/DC. ROCK ON!!!
I could listen to these 2 talk all day
At the end angus should have said it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll
He could have quoted themselves but he didn't. Classy.
As long as AC/DC and their peers are still rocking, there’s no end for rock n roll. The old school bands are and have been holding it up since the 90’s when you really look at it.
I'll tell you, for a while I thought rock was dead, but in my last year of high school (I graduated in 2018) I had grown out my hair to my shoulders, and parted it down the middle over the summer, and I remember walking in the first day back, and everyone there either had long hair, a rock band t-shirt, or both, the most prominent band t-shirts were KISS, Queen, Def Leppard, Avenged Sevenfold, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, everything, and I looked around and said, "Damn... good job my generation". So really, I dont think rock is dead, I think it's just in lying in dormant, and I think its definitely starting to make a resurgence, with bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Steel Panther, Imagine Dragons, and others, and rock will probably spring back within the next decade, that's what I think.
hell yeah I would just exclude imagine dragons from that list
Nice to hear your personal experience and of your classmates. Your anecdote puts me in mind of when I was in high school in 1984...ya gotta understand that at the time at our school in southern California it was NOT cool to have long hair or be into "old" heavy metal bands from the 60s or 70s. Most of the kids were clean cut jocks or preppie kids, the girls were looking all new wave..the dawn of Madonna and Michael Jackson etc...more like dance music, pop, R&B etc.
So anyways, me and about 50 other guys had the leather jackets and the long hair, all into Scorpions, Maiden, Judas Priest totally rock n roll. My buddy was wearing a Black Sabbath tee shirt...and our teacher comes walking in...ya know, some "old" guy like 45 years old, and he looks at my buddy's Sabbath tee shirt and he said, "Wow it's totally cool that you young guys are into the same music that I was when I was YOUR age!" And here it is...3 and a half decades later and now I'M the old dude saying the same thing to you. As long as there is YOUNG talent and FRESH bands to take the reins, the music we love will still inspire others.
Rock on, my brotha!
Brian is right it's NOT DEAD AND NEITHER IS AC/DC THEY WILL LIVE FOREVER!
I will always love your music.
Angus " y'know " Young
They are legends. 🤘⛧⛧ respect the acdc
Nice to see something from these guys.
Adolf Hitler Sorry dude, but totally "fuck you, Hitler"
Dark Lord Cthulhu Ok.
+Adolf Hitler Oh shit Hitler is an ACDC fan, who would have guessed.
+gil faci hahahahahahha lmao
Same here, Mein Kamf is the most rockin' book ever.
Finally someone gives a real advice to beginners “if you think you have something, stick to it and keep going” very simple. The advice people always get is that you have to build your network and the marketing and the social media and all that BULLSHIT. If you have what it takes to succeed if you keep doing it you’ll succeed eventually, there’s no mistake about that. If you don’t make it is because you don’t have it, simple.
KISS is what's dead.
KISS army incoming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colin Sherritt I am not a fan of kiss, and Gene? Fuck off you have no idea what your saying,
Salatiel Jyrus Tumanan reporting for duty
Well on heir way. Dead as far as relevance and talent.
I like the advice they gave because I want to make music and make a band so thank you for that advice Angus and Brian, I'll take it and try and do something with it. and keep rockin boys love your stuff!!!
Angus Young is live, Rock is live
It's dead. Back in the day - the latest rock single had everyone talking - and there was a new one every night. We thought rock would go on at that rate forever. But it finally petered out for good when the Pumpkins broke up. : (
angus I love you and the music you inspired me
As always Angus comes up with a great response that is a "zinger"
i wish he had the great bands for 30 more years (scorpions, ac/dc, def leppard, metallica, motley crue, iron maiden etc) but we dont saddly rock real rock may be about done. we had a good run :(
***** i like that thinking. Lets hope it becomes true!
That's why it's of utmost importance that anyone with a desire to make music in this day and age, no matter how old they are, needs to start a band. Bombard the people with Rock and something will stick.
The internet has scattered the viewership. There are a current bunch of millionaire rock artists that most people have never heard of.
Love that Brian hasn't lost his accent .. Proper Geordie boy ..Love to have a few pints with him, he's cool as F***
Foo Fighters, Royal Blood, Monster Truck, Avenged Sevenfold, Green Day, etc.
Rock will never die.
I LOVE ACDC A WHOLE BUNCH BECAUSE I LOVE THE WAY THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL AND THEY ARE MY COOL AND HANDSOME LOOKING GUYS AND I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC JUST LIKE THEM AND I WOULD LOVE FOR THEM TO COME TO CARSON VALLEY INN AND I HOPE THAT THEY CAN COME TO CARSON VALLEY INN SO THAT EVERBODY CAN SEE THEM AND THEIR MUSIC SOUNDS FANTASTIC AND IVE GOT THEIR CASSETTE TAPE AND I LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC ON IT AND THEY SOUND FANTASTIC ON THEIR CASSETTE TAPE AND ITS BLACK AND WHITE AND I PLAY THEM WHEN I GO PLACES AND I SING ALONG WITH THEM AND I HAVE SO MUCH FUN SINGING THEIR CASSETTE TAPE AND I HOPE THEY KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK
Rock on guys \m/
Take a shot everytime Angus says "You know"
Not as long as I am alive 🔥
Rock is dead but it's good to see the guys still keeping the faith.
AC/DC are the greatest rock band of all time.
Take a shot every time They say "you know"😹
what song is the intro of this vid called? It sounds sick!
great advice!
hey gene: i was a kiss fan (more ace/pete)...
I saw these guys for the Black Ice Tour (HP pavillion). Kicked A$$! Sad the line up has changed but love the insights of Angus and Brian. Still rough road for rock. Not dead, just smells funny ;)
Rock and roll with comeback because most musicians that are about 12 to 16 love rock.
Rock is living but it fighting for its life rap and pop are going to war with rock n roll
rock isn't dead, it's just evolved and changed as it has been for the past 50-60 years. The problem is that people look for popular rock that sounds like the rock from the 70s, 80s, 90s etc. You won't find that. Rock has since evolved, as it will continue to do so in the future. Studies have proven that rock is by far one of the most popular genres of music among today's youth. Dead? I don't think so.
I'd also like to mention that we've had tons of mainstream rock in this decade, and tons of rock albums top the charts.
monster truck, check them out
Brent Rushton
yeah I've listened to them before, good band
Rock and Roll firepower deluxe!
It's never die
it will survive
yes it will
Gene clarified what he meant. He meant the rock industry is dead. Not rock music.
I still think that he is wrong. There are a lot of new rock bands that are living from music( like Heaven's Basement, The Strypes, etc.). Maybe there are not making millions but there are still making money.
I have heard The Strypes and those kids rock!
He's been backtracking and amending his statements a lot lately. Maybe he should go so far as to amend some of the lies he and Paul have been saying about Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
TheHybriQ
I think he was just partially right. You touched on it yourself. I'm 49 years old. When I was a kid and a young adult I played in a few bands and one thing we always strove for was to be "rich and famous" doing what we loved. We strove to be like our heroes. Kiss, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, etc.
You said it yourself, "Maybe they're not making millions but they're still making money". That's what Gene was talking about. Back in his day if a record label liked a band, they'd fund their albums and tours, and the more money the band made for the label the more money they made for themselves.
Of course you have instances like in Black Sabbath's early days where the label doesn't pay them as much as they should've been. But nowadays labels don't promote bands like they used to and free downloading has really hurt most album sales. Some bands rely heavily on merchandise sales for a lot of their income.
BM Todays kids (like me) also want to be "famous and rich". You can slik make a lot of money playing rock and roll. Arctic Monkeys for an example, are a newish band (not new but in the second half of 2000's where people ere also speaking about how new bans can't make money). They sell a lot of albums (not like be before of course) and make good money
I don't listen to rock much anymore myself because electro music just seems a lot more interesting and I can't really think of any rock bands I like right now. Rock isn't dead, it's just that it has a lot more competition now from more modern genres. I still listen to it now and then just not that much.
that why I think next major genre of rock will be some genre of electric rock. it more complex than just regular rock because a lot more note to harmonized. well so far my favorite genre of electric is chip tune rock.
spark300c
That's not a bad idea, a rock band that's all electronic. It would be normal rock songs as far as lyrics and melodies go but all electro music instead of guitars etc.
Otto Nomicus "That's not a bad idea, a rock band that's all electronic." that synth pop or techno. electric rock has guitar
and drums but some times the baseline is electronic and have another line that is synth.
spark300c Shit, you're right, electro and rock are incompatible, except for synth like ELP and Yes.
Otto Nomicus raw timbre are good. chip tunes are very basic in timbre and very bright sounding and sound good with the electric guitar. for me just give the name the top line the chip tune line and for that line I do not use chords but have sync up with power cords from the guitar. all electric sounds have to be crafted to were they sound good with guitar. this year I heard some good electric rock.
I think jean is right! Rock is dead... Or dying... I love rock myself but today's youngsters only hear hop hop.... Rap... But rock n roll is really dying.. What a pity!!! I love rock...
'You got to dodge the people that got 'get yourself a proper job''. Wise words.
Boy am I glad Brian was right, "Rock n Roll ain't gonna die"
Interviewer must have listened to Stern show interview. He asked just about every question they answered on that show
Please, what's the song at the beginning
+beinyourguard I was wondering the same. I hope it's not just some stock tune to "sound" like AC/DC, cuz it's actually a cool riff.
+Luke Offield I found it! It's Silent Partner - Open Highway
Nice! Thanks for the heads-up!
beinyourguard cool I’ve heard it before not here but before.
Airbourne, Thundermother, Bonafide, Dynamite, Bullet, Sideburn, 42 Decibel, 77', Black Aces, The Lazys. Could even include Steel Panther as well - It's not dead, it's there just new generation bands like these get no recognition
You know
The Best.
What songs are the riffs from throughout the video?
Real friends :)
ANGUS YOUNG =
At the beginning of our career, we had big problems to go on tour.
The Headliners says everytime: Kick them out.
But Gene Simmons saw our potential and helped us to get bigger Shows
That was our carreer start.....
GENE SIMMONS =
ac/dc is one of my favorite bands. It is the band that I'm most proud of having opened a show for kiss. It was an honor ...
Brian Johnston I love him definitely its not dead luck at AC/DC --- they grossed the 4th highest revenue ever in the world on their last tour he could tell ya --- mister --- "Hi am Brian Johnston how ya' doing?" I love him
The Digital Age has caused fragmentation and saturation. Also shows like X Factor and the Idols have caused it to be too formulaic. Check out this the late great Greg Lake talking about his Gibson J200 guitars and in it he will give you the answer. No Rock is not dead but it is not the Center of Attention 24/7 like it used to be . We are becoming a world of niches with this Internet Digital Age . Last thing I saw was old school mania in music center of the Universe was Bruno Mars' SuperBowl performance.
I don't think Gene has seen Live at the River Plate. That place was bouncing.... all the young crowd too.
Gene meant that the rock industry is dead,,, record labels do not support many new hard rock bands like in the past
0:10 it's been a long long long funeral...
if we were to believe people's predictions elvis in a 1956 interview in Little Rock said that Rock and Roll would be dead within 4 or 5 years!!!!
Long @ss funeral indeed. Here's the audio of Elvis' interview in the moment of that quote:
th-cam.com/video/W7Y7uDPrtLM/w-d-xo.html
ALIVE and kickin', bitch!
Rock and roll's not dead but it just went down in quality
Qual o nome da música no inicio do vídeo?
If rock is dead for gene that seems like a good sign to me, hopefully that means his shitty band Kiss will finally break up and be over then.
Kiss is one of the most legendary Hard Rock bands ever. They ain't over by a longshot.
Y'know
$immon$ judges the state of Rock by how much KI$$ can fleece it's fans...
the only reason why people say rock is fucking dead is because they don't show off their money cars and woman like the kiss interview said
You Aussies have the best bands.
The Rolling Stones are still going
the 90s killed rock, it was all parties, hot women and fuck chicks but then nirvana happened and it go down every since. rock in the last 30 years has been perceived as music for creepy depressed people. they also sound very 90ish punk rock, instead of going with the blues like many others from other genres are doing. some even say country is more rock n roll than rock itself, its sad
Axl Roses in AC/DC ???? WTF !!!!
Same as KISS :
Tommy Thayer replace ACE FREHLEY !
Is RnR dead?
Angus: "It's been a long long long long funeral" xDD
Here's a great new "rock-n-roll" song!..."CATWOMAN!"...www.reverbnation.com/brucelev/song/21070500-catwoman
song of 0:00 ?
Hang on to your Ichiban....
It’s the suited music business is the problem ,
Rip Malcom
I respect these guys but to say that the music industry is alive and well, you ought to be both blind and deaf to not realize the funeral bells tolling every second.
Where is the great music? And if there is, what are they singing about, about cell phones, about the internet cause romance is dead also...
Damn I was born in the wrong generation 😞😤
Rock needs a resurrection
angus is awesome on stage and his far from boring. but when he talks; he just puts me to sleep!😂
This is coming from a KISS fan: KISS is Dead not Rock and Roll. KISS is dead and buried but a Necromancer comes around and throws money at the corps and they come back for a for a few weeks to play a live show.
Is Bri wearing a corset or is it his money belt :)
its a shame he's going def
new world 9
thought he said they couldnt afford a ford truck. lol a four track.
It's 4 tracks of tape bahahahaha
KISS ARE DIED, NOT AC/DC!
False reporting. Gene clarified his statements and explained that he meant the rock industry is dead and that there are no more iconic bands such as the 90's, 80's, 70's and so on. Also, KISS is an amazing band and vastly superior to AC/DC.... not to mention, if it wasn't for Gene, AC/DC wouldn't have received their huge break.
Kiss fucking sucks. Always will.
No Brian, Gene was terribly right. Scott Z nailed it in his posting. Lest you forget Brian, who took AC/DC on their first major tour? Hmmm let's see, the same band, ( KISS), that took, Cheap Trick, Judas Priest, Rush, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Queensryche, Slaughter..etc, etc. Oh then there is this band, "Van Halen", that I think a guy by the name of Gene Simmons financed their demo tape.
2:17 yu have no idea how hard tht was, hell ya
