This takes that devotion to new places I'm not sure I want to go.
I've been a fan of AC/DC for most of my life. I got to see them in Philly in 1989 during the Money Talks tour at the Spectrum when the Spectrum was still in existence. I still have the fake money they dropped from the ceiling with Angus Young's face on it.
But this. This goes beyond fandom and into creepy artistic tribute/scary male exotic Scottish leather kilt dancing.
Yet there is something train-wreck compelling about the performance. And the bagpipe rendition worked on me. I just need to close my eyes while I listen.
I don't know who I'd go this far to celebrate/emulate. How about you? Anyone you'd go all out for to publicly tribute?
And how the hell did he get the flames to come out of the bagpipes?

What the heck was that? My eyes! My poor eyes! They'll never be the same...
I've never understood this level of fandom. I don't even understand why people would choose to write fanfic. I support the artists I love the old fashioned way - I buy their stuff! :-)
I saw that video somewhere else. It's freaky but compelling.
Susan probably saw it on my site - I posted the version from Australia's Got Talent. I thought it was rather cool. Not the first time bagpipes have been played in an AC/DC song.
I know, Lexa. His stage persona definitely didn't land for me. But the music is good.
Yes, aptly put, Sue. No wonder you're a published author! lol!
Hey Alex! I was listening to Long Way To The Top at volume 11 just today! Love that one! And yes, if I close my eyes and listen I enjoy it. It's the pelvic thrusts that make me cringe and avert my gaze. :D.
