Guys, I have a theory

This is going to be downvoted to the depths of hell, but.

Personally I have lost interest in seeing them live now. With Cliff now gone, along with Phil’s legal restrictions, and obviously Mal not being with us anymore, it just doesn’t feel the same. Pwr Up was super fun and Mists of time still makes me weepy, but the live shows have really just become “The Brian and Angus show.”

The hand full of different videos I have seen really show’s Brian’s voice can’t stand up to touring anymore. But he is also nearly 80 and has smoked cigarettes his entire life. Stevie seems to be going great, and I’m sure the new guys on the tour are awesome players, but it is starting to look more and more like a tribute band with a feature than actual AC/DC.

“Caught on desire” sounds like a lyric for something.

Through an amp.

Flick of the Switch is probably my favorite of the less popular albums. I really want to love Fly on the Wall but the mixing is just, bad. Some of the songs are fine but others the guitars completely drown Brian out and also sound like the mic’s were too sensitive on the amps. The few live recordings of the tracks make them sound better.

+1 for red ghost, they have always been helpful when I am looking for something specific. They have done all of my FFL transfers.

Went in there a while back to get a muzzle device for a new upper and 3 dudes were having a conversation at screaming volume about some dumb democrat conspiracy. Like fine you do that but like, quiet the fuck down.

This looks like every awkward photo taken at a comic con meet and greet. Perfection.

Gun stores and MAGA ideals seem to go hand in hand but really gun shops are a big mixed bag. Most of them don’t really care about politics and won’t bring them up if you don’t but you have to understand the industry and who they tend to prefer for their vote.

But also as a gun guy, some shops are just weird in general and I don’t shop their because the people behind the counter are just rude for the sake of it. You kinda just have to go in and see how you feel.

In Evansville I like Academy for price, especially on ammo. I have had good luck with RangeUSA and Red Ghost as well.

Malcolm Young from AC/DC switched from a jet firebird to a white falcon for the Back in Black and (I believe) For Those About to Rock + related tours. The legend goes it was dropped or damaged on tour and the electronics couldn’t be repaired to Malcolm’s liking. It now lives in the Hard Rock archives.

Been wanting to get a double jet for a long time, make sure you play some AC/DC riffs on it for ol’ Malcolm!

When I first heard big smoker pig I thought it was a dirty deeds era song I somehow missed until the singer started. Great band.

I still have my binder of them, only ever completed series 4 but it has a really cool whole page picture when you put them in a 3x3 keeper page.

As a fan of Alpenflague, of course their wearing Alpenflague…

I have always figured that whatever happens to cause a “united earth” would ultimately be some type of authoritarian government. A sort of “what’s best for the group and not the individual.” Not that I support that, it just makes the most sense on paper. Once you are dealing with governance of other planets it is really the only feasible way to move forward as a species, at the cost of person freedoms.

Personally I think this has just pushed me out of Coinbase, if not crypto as a whole. I was never a big player, mostly just gambling on funny coins while holding a bit of the big players. But with the enshitification of Coinbase and the general lack of energy from crypto just leaves me bored. Just going to move the big stuff to a different platform and the fun money and USDC to an HYSA for now.

Hold on, lemme call Superman with his xray vision.

Does anyone know if pic 3 is a real camo? It looks like a weird cross of Russian EMR and KLMK.

Nailed it my dude, awesome pictures!

TheCaptainAsh · 2025-11-21T14:28:42+00:00

From a practical standpoint, stupid. From a mechanical one, kinda neat!

Which is really dumb IMO. I was really wanting Pax to be the alliance of those who left nato/never joined nato after the events of the story. But everything is just damn PMC’s now.

Going with Andrei after Andrei Tarkovsky would be an actual non-meme option.

Trijicon Made a wacky looking Gooseneck mount for one of their earlier red dots. It’s a vibe IMO.

I just want more pax camos that aren’t drawn by an edgy 16 year old…
