But AC-DC is a Hard Rock band, not a metal band. And this is a Metal Gallery.
And I already know people are going to respond to this as: "ACDC Invented metal, your just jealous and a genre Nazi! They r close enough to metal so they should stay!".
I give up. Ya'll can have any band from any genre posted here. Whether it be SlipKnot, Disturbed, Limp Bizkut, Rose Funeral, Carnifex. It could even be The rolling stones or any other band that isn't "heavy". I may be a Genre Nazi, but I'm damn proud of it. Anyone person who comes on here and says: "This band "X" is Heavy Metal!" regardless if they are or not, receive nothing but praise. ACDC was in metal mags because commercial media will place any band, in any category without care. Just like Darkest Hour does on their cd's. Darkest Hour is a Metalcore band, and places stickers on their cd's that say "The Next Generation of Thrash!" when they are obviously a completely different genre. They did the same thing to 5 finger death Punch in metal mags. "This band is the next biggest thrash band!" I have never known ACDC to Predominately play metal. We have genres for a reason, and I guess they don't matter here. Because here, Lamb of god is 100% pure metal, ACDC is a heavy Metal band, Slipknot is accepted and anyone with anything negative to say about it is inst-flamed.
to some people acdc is a heavy metal band. I mean i know there not, infact i realy dont like ac/dc, but its freedom to express dude. it doesnt matter if their not metal, their still closer to metal than "SLIPCOCK" will ever be. Just let it go.
im not saying they are heavy metal. im saying you need to calm down and stop "suggesting" that people should only listen to the same stuff you listen to and look like how you want them to. let people be themselves for fucks sake.
this is so funny! i knew this discussion was gonna come up! how could one not like AcDc? I mean they always had features in Metal Mags, Tv Shows and radio stations/shows playing predominately Metal. So I think they belong here as well. That´s why i posted this shirt.
As much as I love AC/DC this doesn't belong on this site.
It's a great shirt and awesome band but this is a site for Metal merch and theres nothing Metal about AC/DC.
I think we need genre categories for this stuff, it's great to see it so if there were categories for the non metal stuff I think it'd resolve a lot of the issues we've been having, Alice in Chains is one of my favourite bands and I honestly dont think they belong here either, love their music but it isn't Metal.
right im sick of people arguing weither or not AC/DC belong on this website. its a bit stupid as there a hard rock band what came from hard rock HEAVY METAL its simple we all like diffrent music it just so happens AC/DC helped the train roll there apart of heavy metal and thats the end of that.
