    • Critics of AC/DC like to bash the band for their simple song structure and basic chord patterns

    • The essence of a great rock n roll band is the ability to drive a beat at breakneck pace,shatter the ear drums and create a sound that makes you think like every other act around is a copy of that particualr band...or simply put,the essence is to sound like AC/DC,pure and simple
    • The band is at the top of their game as well, which really was a miracle, considering the circumstances.
