I'll take the "Toronto Trio" Best drummer to ever live, and Lifeson is top ten Geetarist, Getty ain't Bad on the Bass. Who you got? AC/DC second. DanS is going to blow a gasket.

One of my faves.



This song brings chills down my spine.

top 10 SD? you smokin crack? Vernon Reed is a better guitarist, and hes not even top 10 material...

Just an opinion Nate, you're sure a "right" fighter.

If you say so.

i was just givin ya sh!t... and i do like some Rush from time to time... but i would have to say VH (with Roth) and ACDC are better...

I never thought alex Lifeson got enough credit...underated for sure.

I think Getty Lee's vcoice is the worst in recorded music history. Tiny Tim sounded better.

That said, AC/DC kicks ass in ways the other two bands can not fathom. Rock and roll was defined in 'A long Way to the Top'.

Yeah, that's why Rush is a flop...nonsense.

the 3 bands mentioned have strengths in different genres of rock. all 3 have their + and - .

of the 3 only Rush is a band that have the "lovem or hatem" tag because of Geddy Lee's voice. for some it's a make or break option. in Rush's case they have survived very well in their 40 yr career ,despite the vocals .

as for acdc and vanhalen or vanhagar I like them also very much. I find acdc repetitive redone and overdone copy and recopy tiring at times.

vanhalen had many options and seemed to do okay with overall.

+many, Who's better? whoever you like the most.

I like Rush.

I like Van Halen, too...........but only with Roth.

I like AC/DC more than Rush or Van Halen, and AC/DC with Bon is on a whole different level. I can listen to any album they recorded with Bon again, and it never gets old to me.

Angus is one of the greatest guitar players to ever grace this earth...


not top 10 tho

lol

If you say so.

Eddie Van Halen without question, is TOP TEN!

deffinately...

heres someone noone even knows about... i did show this i think in a thread that Avid started, i know i showed others...

get a fuking life

get off my dick... weird fvck...

I saw "Let there be Rock" at the king theatre in DT Seattle....5k WATTS!! It was amazing! Angus was Sick!

get a job or at least wake up before 12 brittle bones.

lol good friends with the fishing twat i see? shes the only bitch to call me that... LOL... keep it up and ill blast the REAL story...

i never have seen Angus live yet, but want to... BB King is another one, he comes to town every now and then to perform at the Casinos and such...

what was it Scott died from?

tell the real story then pussy

pretty sure herion

oh, slick change, too bad i caught it...

SD, ok if i use this thread?

what have you caught? surely no fish besides those gut hooked bull trout in the carbon.

be my guest.

ive never caught one in the Carbon

tonights the troll night right?



thats alot of just super great musicians that have died that way, and actors as well... shame...

ok heres the story about that bitch...

so she was and still is hella dumb, she didnt have her FB locked, and i saw that some people were talking to her (this was a while ago).... so i kinda payed attention and ended up really liking the fact that she was a female guide here, its tough work... so i sent her a friend request, and she added me....

she tells some bullsh!t story about a Tribal game officer coming down her driveway and pulling a gun on her... something about illegal hunting or something... she didnt tell alot, but thats besides the point...

so, i publicly say, to call the WDFW and ask for the Pierce County SGT. and talk to him, as he is the one that runs the area pretty much... i told her i knew him, and he would take care of her, i even said she could use my name for reference so he would know whats up...

well, long story short, the WDFW raided her house, and took a bunch of sh!t, because she was poaching or whatever, i dont know the full details, and illegally guiding i think too, like i said i dont know, but, they raided her for a reason obviously, and she still aint got her sh!t back...

so now, she thinks im the one that got her raided, that SGT. M is my best friend and we go ice skating together and sh!t, that i am a cop, and has also threatened to shoot me because of this (she told someone here that)....

she posts that stupid blog, all of it is false, and trys to defame and or slander me, but i aint even trippin, cuz i know shes a fvckin nut case.... she also should watch her friends that have said statements like "he will be lucky if he doesnt find crosshairs on him", directed towards the warden... too bad shes too stupid to not have caught it tho...

so, fishing twat, if your reading... go ahead and try it... next time it wont be the WDFW coming to your house....

Bon Scott didn't die due to heroin. The bottle got him.
Hard to believe he died over 30 years ago. Seems like yesterday.
I always enjoyed his singing a lot more then Brian Johnson.
SF

Rush lost me around Moving pictures, I don't know any of their stuff after that...that's probably when they should of stopped.

im listening to some Ice Cube now

Shovel story better come out tomorrow.

its hillarious...


im not even kidding..

screw it how many of you dildos are still up? i aint tired yet...

All three bands had their moments. Who's better?
Ok could angus young play like eddie van halen? Probably could if he practiced and that was his aim. But he's a blues guy,and is the best at what he does.
Could Alex play like Ed? Probably. But he's a prog rock guy and is a monster .
Could Geddy play like Cliff Williams? He technically would run circles around the guy. His voice is what it is. I have never had a problem with it. Geddy and cliff smash on Michael Anthony but Mike would drink them out of the building.
The point being is are we talking technical ability,tone,presence,innovation? Best drummer? It ain't Alex or Phil Rudd.
But Rudd played in the pocket and AVH is great at what he does.

Here's my rating.
Technically -Rush
Flash and stage Presence-VH
Innovation-Eddie
Tone-AC/DC all the way
Ability- They all are better than any of us


Bon Scott for best frontman,Peart on drums,Angus on lead ,Eddie on lead,Geddy on bass,and that group would all kill each other during band practice

My favorite albums from each:

AC/DC Powerage
Rush 2112
Van Halen Fair Warning

AC/DC - High Voltage
Rush - 2112
VH - VH1

All great in their own rites. I don't listen to much by any of them at home anymore, but I can appreciate them all while hearing them out and about. AC/DC flat out rocks. You can say you don't like 'em, but there's no denying that Angus Young's tone defines rock to the letter, and Bon Scott's voice was much the same.

Rush is probably the best rock band ever from a technical perspective, but aside from a few songs I really like, I think the overall product tends to suffer from too much technicality, rendering many songs somewhat disjointed. They do get bonus points for keeping the original lineup intact for so long; that really is impressive.

As for Van Halen, we all know Eddie is a guitar legend. Diamond Dave, despite being a freak, is a great rock singer. Wait... On second thought, I guess being a freak makes him a better rocker. I think Alex is a very good drummer, but I dislike the way his playing gets produced on record (hi-hat is always over the top in the mix). The main thing that annoys me after listening to a lot of Van Halen is the background vocals. They always sound the same, and not good at that. Their cover of "Dancing in the Streets" is horrible, in my opinion. Maybe I just don't like that silly song....

Anyway, all three bands boast some of rock's finest musicians/vocalists, and they are all worthy of "great" status in my mind. That said, as good as all those guys are, none of them rank among the tip top of musicians in general. For example, as good a drummer as Neil Peart is, he doesn't touch some of the jazz guys from the 60s and 70s. The popularity of rock music versus other styles probably has a lot to do with the acclaim some of these guys get as masters of their instruments.

They're all better than me. That's for damned sure.

Anyone have Nate's #?, he needs a wake up call.

im right here, i have to run to town so its gonna have to wait... ill be back...

FF good points...

I pulled this tidbit from Wikipedia.

" Rush's sales statistics place them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band.[120]"

not a bad group to be lumped in with.

Great album

Recently ACfuckingDC has been my listening preference....but vintage RUSH never gets tiresome.



Mf

Bon was the real fuckin deal man

Bon is a f'n legend. He was as good a front man as you'll ever see in rock and roll.

Back in Black will stir any party or gathering from the dead, if that doesn't get your groove on...your probably dead.

Ok, I saw Rush in the title so I gotta chime in.

To re-affirm what was said 47 times above, all 3 bands kicked ass at different points in their careers. And, for different reasons. I own music from all 3 but you'll see more Rush on the iPod than the other 2.

AC/DC.......Never been a fan of Brian Johnson's voice yet Bck n blk
is one of my fav's musically. Go figure. You guys think
Geddy's voice sounds like he got permanently kicked in t
nuts yet Johnson's voice is so thrashed you can't even
understand what he's saying. I'd hate to be that poor
bastard trying to grind out an entire tour. Bon was in a
league of his own. High Voltage (the import) was a fav.

Van Halen...The albums up through Diver Down were the best.
Van Hagar doesn't count. The boys could rock but even
being the guitar god he is, I actually think a lot of
Eddie's playing sounds the same after a few songs. The
same guitar acrobatics song after song only goes so far
for me.

Rush.........3rd best selling rock band of all time. There's a reason for
that guys. Some fans appreciate the flash and thrash of
our first 2 bands, others are drawn to the technical
precision and song writing of Rush. I guess that's where I
fall. And, as mentioned above, the same trio sticking it
out together pushing 40 years is nothing to blink at
either. But more than anything, There fans love how
they pretty much told the world and critics to stick it
where the sun don't shine during those 40 years and did
exactly what they wanted to without selling their souls
to the industry.

Sorry, didn't mean to type a thesis.......just a fun topic.

Brian Johnson seems like a cool guy,but he could never replace Bon Scott,and his voice sounds like hamburger now.

Hate to break the news to ya but all three of these bands have been around 40 years. Ya,they are OLD.

Love all of them . There's a lot of other music out there and thats a good thing because I need a change from time to time.

Any other Judas Priest fans? God, I love their music. My second all time fave, never did see them live.. Halford voice is badass!

What's some of your favorite bands?

what about Aerosmith?

i think Rush is actually 4th behind them in record sales....

Sure, why not? Depends on what flavor of music you like.

Saw em when I was 18 at the Oakland Coliseum. I was lit lol. Saw them 4 times after that. Back when they were on top of their game few bands could touch them.

Remember those guys?

That was a blast from the past, I don't think they were around very long?

i like rock, but... well yea...
