“It Rocks the old way” 🎸 ⚡️

[@michael1]

It rocks mostly because of the rest between "that I" and "ever seen" which Brian doesn't do at the start of the clip. Similar rest on other lines albeit at a different place in the music because of the syllables in the lyric, but it adds a syncopation. Similarly for their rhythm playing, the riffs generally start on the and of the 4 or 3 that, along with a bit of a swing what makes them rock 'n' roll rather than rock.

I love ACDC! They were the reason I got pregnant with our son! LOL! 😉 That was back in 1981. Five months after our son was born, we got married and we were married for 35 years. Four years afterwards we had a daughter. That man meant the world to me and I will miss him for the rest of my life. In 2017, he lost his battle with cancer. We had music in our whole marriage. Even after our son was born and he couldn't sleep, the only way to get him to sleep was to play the radio. After my husband passed away I stopped listening to music for 4 years. I struggled with his death. 2 years ago I started getting my life back in order. I still miss him and I always will but I now know that I need to take care of myself too. Keep rocking ACDC you guys are awesome!!

I had a similar but only adjacent experience as yours. I'd seen her for decades and never had the nerve to introduce myself because she was always being escorted by someone I didn't recognize as related to her and found out it was her brother and upon bringing her to her house we went into her room and I saw 4 to 600 albums lining the walls and I thought oh my God. We had very similar tastes in the basics but she introduced me to a lot of different artists and styles and I did likewise. 3 months later I asked her to marry me in a white AMC Pacer and she accepted. WoW😅 only made it 24 years though. To paraphrase someone, music will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times with no music. Visit live music all that you can!
