If you had to compare them as individual musicians, how would the
members of ACDC and the Rolling Stones compare? Who is the
better musician in each category?

Vocals: Bon Scott vs Mick Jagger
Brian Johnson vs Mick Jagger

Lead Guitar: Angus Young vs Brian Jones
or Angus Young vs Mick Taylor
or Angus Young vs Ron Wood

Rhythm Guitar: Malcolm Young vs Keith Richards

Bass: What's his name from ACDC vs Bill Wyman

Drums: Phil Rudd vs Charle Watts

Just curious what people's opinions are on this one?

mate ther is no comparison, AC/DC wins hands down on all fronts (although
there is a very fine line in the vocals department, both have their pro's
and cons)

But the main reason is that AC/DC is an Australian Band where as The rolling
stones are not....(i guess that make me slightly biased doesnt it?)

I am English - but AC/DC win hands down.
The Young brothers - technically brilliant and they write some storming
blues tunes.
Phil Rudd & Cliff Williams - what a ryhtm section. They do exactly what a
rythm section should - hold it all together and groove along.
Bon Scott - well, there is no comparison.

There is NO comparison!

And before you even think to post this kinda question to a AC/DC NG you
better study up on the members, past n present!

It's clear I'm taking this question(my even responding) to seriously because
anybody who knows music will admit its the Stones hands-down. ACDC is a
group based around power-chords and a rhythm section bass that is routed in
playing the root on eigth-notes and a I-IV chord progression. When put that
way no band can touch ACDC but as musicians the Stones are more
versatile.....songs that allow for interesting bass patterns...chord changes
that go beyond the I-IV-V with some minors thrown in here and there. OK I
took the bait....to even respond I feel like a nerd...AGGH!!!

The Stones bore me to tears. AC/DC is always fun to listen to.

If you want to get into guitar tones, well, I appreciate Mesa/Boogie
tones but not the ones Keith Richards gets. I guess he fried
the 'taste in tones' section of his brain a long time ago.

Meanwhile, a JTM-45 with an SG is classic, classic tone.
But, my favorite all-time AC/DC guitar tone would have to be
the 200 watt Majors used in 'Girls Got Rhythm'. What a tone!
I don't even want to THINK about how loud that must have been.

I'm not even going to bother to compare the individual musicians.
The Stones may do more complex music, but they don't make music
that I enjoy listening to and that's all.

\Not in the least. I have NEVER fallen asleep at an AC/DC concert. I
have at a Rolling Stone concert. Kinda speaks for itself.

Actually, yes, because I *did* fall asleep at an AC/DC concert for a few
minutes. I had been sick when I attended the SUL tour stop in my city and
the medication I'd been taking made me drowsy. AC/DC put on a great show,
but Brian Johnson is nowhere near the frontman or singer that Mick is.
Charlie Watts has a far greater range as a drummer than Phil Rudd, and I
can't see how anyone, showmanship aside, can say Angus is a better guitarist
than Mick Taylor judging by their chops alone.

Mick Jagger does nothing for me as far as stage presence goes. I want
someone to sing loud and hard rock. Bon was able to do that, Brian
does that. Mick, welllllll.... I remember one time when the Stones
were on Saturday Night Live and Mick wanders over to Ron Wood, and he
fucking LICKED his mouth! Pretty fucking bizarre showmanship in my
book. Thats one of the reasons why I like Brian. He does his thing,
thats sing.He doesnt really banter with the audience, and thats fine
with me.
Honestly comparing AC/DC to the Stones is really kind of rediculous.
AC/DC is a hard rock band, Stones are a rock/pop band. .
To be fair to the Stones, I also fell asleep at a Black Sabbath
concert.
There are shitloads of guitarists that have much better chops that
Angus. There is just something about Angus's playing that sticks to
your ribs(and not all his playing does that mind you). There arent
many guitarists out there that make you remember them after the cd has
been taken out of the player.

I admit AC/DC isn't a bad rock band,but the truth is that AC/DC can not beat
the Rolling Stones.. AC/DC is alright band, & do like their album "High Way
To
Hell".. Just explain to me why the band broke up? The Rolling Stones,(since
1962 are still rock'n rolling, & rumors are said till this day),that the
Stones are going to tour next year! So now that you added the
alt.rock-n-roll.stones newsgroup to spread your article,("onto other usenet

that the Stones are # 1..

OTOH, Mr. Ed had much better bass response....and, he

If AC/DC broke up, then who was that great cover band I saw in Cologne
a few weeks ago playing AC/DC songs over two hours?

Since you asked, my opinion is that The Stones should have retired when
Brian Jones died. After all, not only was it HIS band, Brian Jones WAS the
Rolling Stones, plain and simple. When he died, so did the band. Look up
"stale" in the dictionary, and you'll see a picture of Mick and Keith.

Herbert Khaury was a friend of mine. And I am still
saddened by his passing in 1996. He was an
unabridged human encyclopedia of musical knowledge,
as well as a wonderful human being.

And his command of many various vocal styles, including
deep baritones not usually associated with his infamous
falsetto, was absolutely astounding.

Huh? He was already dead weight by the time they made their first trek to
America, except for little overdub bits ( which he did quite well). Ok, so
he wasn't quite dead weight when they made the first trip to America..but he
was dead weight by the time of "Beggars Banquet," easy.

They should have booted him way earlier on, or he should have worked up the
nads to quit and gone to do his thing, whatever it was. People laud his
"genius", but other than a couple memorable intros to songs Mick and Keith
wrote, he didn't do much any other competent BritBlooze guy couldn't do.

When he died, the band blossomed from being a pop band into being a really
well realized rock band, one of the first ROCK bands.

Guitarists are a very Personal taste, all have sold Millions upon millions

again Both Know their craft , both aare their bands backbones rhythmically,

the stones

total ponts - AC/DC 4 Rolling stones 3

both are Great live , putting on Dynamic shows and at comparable costs the
last time i saw each i felt i got good vlaue for money with both bands but
the stones had the better support act , so both great acts and very little
separating them
a good evenings listening with either

You can't be serious. He was the only breath of fresh air the band ever
had, as well as the only menber with an original bone in his body.

Horse shit. Brian *was* a genius, "of sorts". Keith Richard is a cheap
copy of Chuck Berry, who was a cheaper copy of T-Bone Walker. It sure wasn't
HIM who had the understanding of Muddy and Howlin' when the band was a blues
band in the early years. It was Brian Jones who taught those cats what blues
was, when Jagger was still some pasty pimple faced kid living with "mum" in
middle class suburbia. Brian was already doing it. Brian was an
originator, and an inovator. You didn't see Mick or Keith introducing the
sounds of sitars, electric dulcimers, eastern modes and rhythms, etc. If it
weren't for Brian, the Beatles would have steamrollered the band into
oblivion, and *that's* a fact.

<yawwwwwwn> Stale stuff. Very stale stuff. You wanna talk about *real*
rock of that day, lets talk about Cream, Hendrix or The Who - all of who'd
mop the proverbial floor with the Stones, Keith's *extremely* boring Chuck
Berry schtick and Jagger's ridiculous prancing. Be serious. These other
guys were exciting musicians who were masters of their instruments and took
rock to the limit. The Stones were a circus outfit. Even Charlie Watts has
publicly admitted that the band embarrasses him to play with them. What
further testimony do you need?

Maybe so. BFD. AC/DC can still play rings around the Stones. Ain't exactly
my cup of tea, but be serious. Any comparison is absurd. It'd be like
comparing the New York Dolls to Cream, for cryin' out loud. There's a place
for the Stones. It's shared with Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears,
Back Street Boys, New Kids On The Block, Ramones . . . get my drift?

How does one band "beat" another? This whole thread is bizarre. I
really don't see anything to really compare between the two. Anyway,
just so you have the info correct, AC/DC hasn't broken up, and is one

If you knew music, you would also state The Who blows the Stones out
of the water on musicianship.
In the comparison of AC/DC to the Stones, Im basing it on rock band
versus rock band. AC/DC is a far more superior rock band that Stones.
And I do like the stones. I think "Honky Tonk Woman" is one of the
greatest rock songs ever written, but AC/DC, whoa, Ill never forget
the first time I heard them and being totally floored by them.

I really can't comment on one era of the Stones vs. the others, but I have
to agree that Cream/Hendrix/The Who all kill the Stones for good music and
good musicianship...especially on guitar. Not that we need to raise the
heat any more here, but I'd say the exact same thing about the
Beatles. You can give me all the "you had to be there" comments you want,
but I'll take any of those other bands anytime...far, far more interesting
and challenging IMO.

Well, it's an opinion, so "truth" kinda shifts accordingly, no?

My own take is that the Stones did some of their greatest stuff after
Jones's departure. "Exile", "Some Girls", tunes like "Brown Sugar",
"Sympathy", Honky Tonk Women", ...excellent stuff.

Granted, there's been a lot of sub-par material, probably more than the
good stuff. "Angie"....eeesh. "Sucking in the 70s" was truth in
advertising.

"Outa Tears" is a great recent Stones tune, IMO.

Do you know this from some personal experience? In fact Tiny had quite
a reputation as a lady's man, odd as that may seem to those who only
saw him on the Johnny Carson show etc. His music and abilities far
transcended the clownish appearances on network TV. He said any
publicity was good publicity and didn't care if he was made fun of as
long as he was on TV. In fact I have been pushing my buddy to do
something with the raw DATs that were used as a foundation for the I
Love Me Cd (released on Ponk/Seeland records). These tapes are just
Tiny on uke and vocs and are a riveting performance to say the least.
I only wish that I had known and been associated with these folks when
they recorded that CD. matt

Wilbur was also the lead in Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda he played the
Glen/Glenda character in 1953. Did you also know that Tiny Tim did a
cover of the MR Ed theme song (at the request of the president of his
fan club who was also the president of the Mr Ed fan club)? It is a
small world after all. matt

Thanks. I figured I was getting ready to read my first flame for not

I really like even some of the newer stuff, Voodoo Lounge has some

You don't think Hendrix ripped up all those Beatles songs because he could
play them properly do you?

I saw an interview with Paul McCartney a while ago where he talked about going
to see Hendrix play a show, and I guess Jimi knew he was coming. That morning
they had just released the Sgt. Pepper album and Paul said Jimi opened up the
show playing "Sgt. Pepper". He was amazed when he started playing a tune that
was so new and then proceeded it take it into "Jimi territory". Would have been
great to be there.

<G> The wonderful thing about Hendrix is he could anything out there and
make it his. It didn't matter who wrote the original, when he played it
he owned it.

That's it : Hendrix, The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks etc. are UNIQUE.
Why should we compare Hendrix with The Beatles? Guys like Chuck Berry
made the real Rock'n'Roll songs and rest of the world played the covers.

Sure, but someone posed the question "why would the Stones expect
AC/DC to open for them" What do you think, they even take into a
consideration how good the other band is, as to not insult them with
an offer to open for them? From a financial standpoint, nearly
*everyone* is a potential opening act for them.
