Members thefyn Posted November 20, 2011 Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 People care about the early recorded tone. Part of their tone was also in the way they simultaneously pick and pluck..they don't just strum all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stevetemp Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'll bet you money that only one or two of those amps are being used at any given time, and the rest are backups. There's plenty of touring guitarists that don't use amps at all, and run through modellers or speaker sims. Alex Lifeson plays arenas every day, and his H&K heads run through palmer speaker sims. Geddy doesn't even use amps, he's got a bunch of rotisserie ovens for his backline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Megadeth Man Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 I, for one, have been unable to sleep at night with the worry about what amps ACDC use and the BS that's been written about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mogwix Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 Geddy has one of his ovens miked ???!!! Yeah, if you watch their live DVD's they've always got mics on Geddy's backline. They do it for silly factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think the avatar and moniker speak volumes about the OP to be honest. It's like, putting the year of your guitar as a sort of focal point is a bit naff and that picture of a dog wearing, what can only presumably be Brett Hitman Hart's sunglasses, is pretty awful too. My Samoyed-Wolf hybrid likes her sunglasses.....she says, "FU". By the way, the sunglasses were FREE from a well know Rum manfacturing corporation.

Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2011 63 is cooler than 79. 79 isn't particulary a "vintage" year for anything as far as I am aware. 1963 Strat; cool as {censored}. You don't know jack {censored} about Gibson Les Paul Customs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think people are generally more concerned with what they used in the studio, especially on the early albums.In interviews they have said that Malcolm used a 100 watt Marshall and Angus used a 50 watt Marshall. Malcolm is quoted as saying his 1971 Marshall Super Bass 100 amp was his favorite to record through because of the extra bottom-end clarity, and Angus used a 1968 Marshall JTM45. Not sure if they use the same heads to record now or not. On Black Ice on several songs Malcolm used a direct software digital interface into the board.

Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2011 This is my opinion......if you don't think Malcolm Young is a very good guitar player and excellent rock song writer.....you are some sort of imbecilic, moronic, tool. AC/DC with him is responsible for NINE (9) Multi-Platinum albums and NINE (9) Platinum albums. In other words, ALL 18 of AC/DC's studio recorded albums are Platinum (1 million in sales or more) or Multi-Platinum (2 million in sales or more). For example, Back in Black has sold 22 million copies or more in the United States alone and Highway to Hell has sold 7 million copies or more in the United States alone. He is responsible for 250+ million album/cd sales Worldwide and 75+ million album/cd sales within the United States alone. Most bands are extra lucky if they just have one single platinum album/cd.

Members Grant Harding Posted November 25, 2011 Members Share Posted November 25, 2011 Man - I could get their tones with my Shiva at loud talking level and a mic sending it to the desk. Why would anyone want a whole wall of blasting Marshalls onstage these days. It doesn't make your cock bigger or anything, it just makes your ears old.

You are not playing 20,000 people arenas and 80,000 people stadiums. If you bring anything more than a 1/2 stack to a small to medium sized bar.....you are considered a tool now days.
