For Those About To Rooockkkk

I'm going to see AC/DC on Friday at Roger's Centre in T.O. and I'm vvveeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrryyyyyy excited.

You see, AC/DC is my all-time favourite band.

It all started when I found a cassette tape of their classic Black In Black album in my basement. The badass riffs and sweet solos inspired me to learn guitar. Then my dad gave me a VHS concert tape called Let There Be Rock: Live in Paris, which is from 1979. Through this, I discovered the awesomeness of their first lead singer, Bon Scott.

I bought all of their albums, concert DVD's, and read up on their band history.

"You Shook Me All Night Long" was the first solo I ever mastered, and when I joined the performance class in high school, "Hell's Bells" was the first song I covered.

For the last eight years, I've waited for their new album so that they can tour again.

I've always said 'I must see them live before I die.'

I was getting worried because they're getting old. When I told someone I was going, she exclaimed "They're still alive?"

With most of the members being in their late-50's (singer Brian Johnson is 61), the band is obviously on their last legs.

But apparently, they still put on a great (and LOUD) show. So I'm verrrrry psyched to go.

I'll still relish it if they play terribly.

And afterwards, I can die a happy man.
