They pad the thinning ranks of their original members with substitutes for the growing ranks of their dead, like those medieval soldiers who propped up corpses on the ramparts in order to hold off the siege. They have been doing this for so long that some of the substitutes now pass for the real thing. Ron Wood joined The Rolling Stones in 1975, replacing Mick Taylor, who replaced Brian Jones. This is the musical equivalent of the philosopher\u2019s conundrum known as the Raft of Theseus. If you replace all the plank-spankers, how can it still be the same vessel?<\/p>\n<p>Brian Johnson joined AC\/DC in 1980 after the death of the band\u2019s original singer Bon Scott. Before we proceed to Johnson\u2019s amiable rockography, The Lives of Brian, we should clarify the musical technicalities. AC\/DC are not a heavy metal band. They are frequently hard rock, but essentially they are a rock \u2019n\u2019 roll band. Like Mot\u00f6rhead, and like the early punk bands that shared their energy and glee, they are the last, late progeny of \u201950s rock \u2019n\u2019 roll. They are loud and bluesy, and have more in common with Johnny Kidd and the Pirates than with Metallica or Def Leppard. The boogie in their early albums carries echoes of the age before Elvis. Like Mot\u00f6rhead\u2019s Philthy Phil Taylor or The Damned\u2019s Rat Scabies, the drumming of AC\/DC\u2019s first drummer Phil &#8220;The Stud&#8221; Rudd swings with the ghost of Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich.<\/p>\n<p>Second, AC\/DC are Australian. Formed in 1973, they came up the old way, which is the hard way, on the Australian pub circuit. The &#8220;pub&#8221; part might evoke cozy and ramshackle British country inns, but Australian pubs, according to those who have visited them and survived, are cavernous beer halls full of raging drunks. These bracing conditions made AC\/DC what the Irish call a &#8220;show band,&#8221; playing other people\u2019s hits, and entertaining the punters like a very loud vaudeville act. Hence their guitarist Angus Young dressing as a schoolboy, complete with satchel.<\/p>\n<p>Third, Bon Scott was and always will be AC\/DC\u2019s singer. This is the Raft of Theseus part. Scott had been with the band for six years before he choked on his own vomit after an especially exuberant night out in South London. Brian Johnson replaced him in 1980, and freely admits that he<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big rock acts have become tribute bands to their younger selves.
