Sure, it's big, dumb, formulaic fare that's studied the same blueprint since the 1970s - but if it ain't broke, why not channel several thousand volts through the thing and make it dance even harder? Pump a fist, go on - it can't be helped, and we're all friends here. Whether you're an AC/DC acolyte of several years' standing, or a fair-weather fan partial to a boogie whenever your local rock DJ drops You Shook Me All Night Long, you can't deny the feeling of glee this gang of good-times rabble-rousers stir within even the most conservative soul. It's not a rock'n'roll world I'd want to live in, that's for sure. Without a band happy to play the same role for nearly 40 years because they nailed it first time. Without a band so tightly stitched into the fabric of rock that to pick them loose has the whole leather jacket falling apart. Without a band that's overcome obstacles both personal and professional to deliver the goods time and again. Without Angus Young's school uniform and goofy on-stage strutting. Without Highway to Hell, Back in Black and Let There Be Rock. Take a moment, now, and imagine the rock'n'roll world without AC/DC.
