This band is the best AC/DC sound I ever heard

I guess that's where we differ the most. I'm way beyond the "live experience"; it's just not worth the hassle to me. But give me a band that I think captures AC/DC's vibe and sound in the studio and I'm all over it.

Rhino Bucket, Johnny Crash, Bullet, '77, Sideburn...I've got a lot of 'em.

all of those are good stuff! I like AC/DC but those bands bring their own little twist to the style.

While I see the AC/DC influence in X-Sinner they always reminded me more of High n Dry era Def Leppard.

The AC/DC vibe in X-Sinner is way more prevalent on the first album (GET IT) cuz the singer had a Brian Johnson style growl.

When they replaced him on the second (PEACE TREATY) with a smoother voiced singer (Rex Scott) they sounded more like Leppard.

...and hell, High-N-Dry era Leppard were obviously very influenced by Bon Scott era AC/DC anyway so it's, like, the circle of life or somethin'.

I always though they traded out a Brian Johnson clone for a Bon Scott clone after Get It...... That clip I posted (Livin On The Edge) sounds like X-Sinner listened to "Billy's Got A Gun" a few too many times before writing the track....

Agree with you that it is the circle of life or somethin' like that..... Def Leppard even used some of AC/DC's equipment when recording High N Dry.

...and their producer (Mutt Lange)!!!

Yeah, Airbourne is one of the better "AC/DC clones" out there these days IMO.

Yeah, I love '77, as well as some of the other similar-sounding bands like Rhino Bucket and Airbourne. I would like to love Bullet, but that dude's gurgley vocals annoy me after a few songs.

What about Kix? Not a clone by any means, but they definitely kick up some AC/DC dust every now and then.

I totally agree; Kix definitely feeds at the AC/DC teat.

Any fans of Rose Tattoo here?

The opening of Kix's "Same Jane" (off of Hot Wire) always seemed like a pretty blatant steal off of AC/DC's "Kicked in the Teeth" to me. Still love 'em though.

I totally agree. IMO, they actually have that "vibe".

New American Shame has/had a BIG AC/DC vibe and it is/was GREAT!


Rusted Wings, from the Crow Salvation soundtrack:

The overt AC/DC influence on KIX happened later in their career (circa Blow My Fuse).

I think if their early albums had a "beefier" guitar sound, certain songs would have leaned a bit more that way. But honestly, I never thought they sounded much like AC/DC, aside from moments here and there, until I got Show Business a few years ago.

I think that album has a really big AC/DC sound to it.

AC/DC with slide guitar!! I only have one from them (the s/t) but it's a good 'un. Nice boys don't play rock n' roll indeed.

A few tunes by Gene The Werewolf remind me of AC/DC

Johnny Crash definitely had that Bon-era sound going:

Definitely a fan. I have their first three albums. Tough as nails hard rock.

For some reason, I'm not a big fan of AC/DC "clones" either. It's not that they aren't good at what they do, it's just that when I hear them, I think "Hmmm, why don't I just listen to AC/DC?"

Looks like I was talking out my ass again. I picked up Airbourne's No Guts No Glory over the weekend. Because why not.

I was in my childhood, although I can't say that they are a band that I've listened to since the early 80s maybe time for a trip down memory lane.

That's a badass album!

Let's give Sideburn some love here too, especially their first album.

I bought Airbourne's debut as a new release, but didn't play it much for the reasons explained above. It's a good album, just doesn't get allot of attention from me. When I saw No Guts..., I thought, "Eh, why not?" And yea, it's good.

I've never understood the "Why not listen to..." thing. I get that if an album isn't very good and the band they're similar to is far better, but a band like Airbourne, to me, is just too good to apply that sort of thinking to.

My opinion, of course.

X2. Guts is a fantastic Rn'R album.

Of course, they through in some Def Leppard worship on their second release:

Oh yeah!!

Get It is one fantastic album!!

Having spent the weekend with Peace Treaty, after the DL reference, was an interesting experience. I started listening to it with that frame of mind and instead of being a second-class album to Get It I can hear whats going on. The shift in comparison truly changed my perception of the album as a whole. I liked it before but I am really getting into the album this time around.

You know another AC/DC sounding band (at least the second one was). Our own Cliffy's Mainline Riders.
