  • Agreed.

    I mean, I felt like AC/DC focused more on brand recognition when Brian Johnson took over after Bon Scott died. Their music were aiming for radio appeal, not that no musician should because it means being successful, but it almost was formulaic. Thunderstruck for example, became a staple for sports soundtracks and stadium like events.

    And they’re a victim of their own success as you’ve talked here, where someone who didn’t grow up with the band, will only focus on the popular songs. Despite them having grown up with at least a couple albums that AC/DC did release, like their last album ‘Power Up’ was in 2020. It’s the same deal with Nirvana, always wearing that double-X smiley shirt or having the poster and only saying they cared about Nevermind. The same for Guns 'N Roses where it’s always both of the Appetite for Destruction albums and songs like Welcome to the Jungle and November Rain.

    I think it honestly just speaks about a fan’s depth as to how much they like bands. An actual fan likes a band and addresses both flaw and success. A casual fan only likes what was popular and nothing else for cheap nods.



  • I sometimes think back to my last relationship, that I was with someone who I could’ve totally seen going all the way to the end with.

    And I vividly recall a moment where for some stupid reason, during an argument we had, where I stressed about not wanting kids. Yet she was simply trying to re-iterate to me that she doesn’t want any either, because she actually can’t anyways. There were also some overlooked details that should’ve been obvious to me that this woman was as good as I was going to get, although not perfect, but because of those kinds of miscommunications, it wasn’t going to happen.

    It was 4 years since.
