Dottleshead ★ Posted July 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2018 even So I just went and saw a free Hells Belles cover band concert. They are from Seattle though I understand none of the band members live here anymore. I always heard they were good (if you like the AC/DC thing) but I wasn't sure what to expect. Honestly, I was pretty impressed. It saddened me when I realized everyone in the crowd was over 50 and/or pushing 60. But i was energized when they played and they had us old geezers wanting more. I was happy. Afterwards, I reviewed their reviews on my phone and stumbled upon this little gem. It's quite the compliment when the leader of the band Angus Young pays tribute to the band paying tribute to them. Check out the last quote. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Angus_Young So after the show, the lead guitarist (Angus Young's female version) was a gal from my home town. She went to one of the other high school's in my district and graduated 9 years later than I did. This made me feel old. Anyway, this thread is an unshameless plug. If you like the AC/DC thing, check these gals out. You won't be sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share #2 Posted July 14, 2018 I should say I liked the AC/DC back in high school and pretty much had a disdain for them since. Their music doesn't do much for me anymore -- but this band did such a great job, they took me way back. I was reminded of some the great songs they do have and how many of them there are. They played almost an hour and a half and just touched a portion of their catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bunch of numbers Posted July 14, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 14, 2018 I'd probably enjoy that show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted July 14, 2018 That gal -- while not necessarily on display here -- sang the Brian Johnson's songs really, really well. She did ok with Bon Scott tunes -- much like Brian Johnson even. But she sang mean and quite well on other tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say, she was great at the Johnson songs and respectable on the Scott ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted July 15, 2018 Share #10 Posted July 15, 2018 I youtubed a few of their vids. I think I'd prefer to hear a studio recording before making a call. They weren't bad, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the live show that hits the home run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
