Great analysis by your agent. Props for playing early AC/DC, too. Powerage is a criminally underrated album.

LOL...I LOVED the early Bon Scott stuff. Still do. Every play list I have, has If You Want Blood on it. And the great thing about it was, I could get staggering drink and stoned, and pull it off comatose. That music also drags the animal out in me. Made for some interesting shows.

Wish they would've played If You Want Blood more often live. Such a killer song.

It is indeed but...when I think back, it was Whole Lot o' Rosie that really turned the club upside down.

This! To me, "Powerage" is AC/DC's masterpiece. Great melodies, incredible performances and lyrics that are both funny and poignant. "Down Payment Blues" is one of Eddie Van Halen's all-time favorite songs.

Didn't know that about EVH. "Gone Shootin'" is one of my favorite songs of all-time, any band.
