THUNDERSTRUCK - AC/DC (Formerly known as BACK IN BLACK)
When it comes to tribute bands, you can't go past this show. This is not only one of the best tribute shows going around, this is the BEST AC/DC tribute. (Original member) Rohan Moran has been playing the part of Angus Young for nearly 20 years and nailing every solo with a brilliance unlike that of any other guitarist playing Angus Young. A lead vocalist that not only covers the songs of Brian Johnson brilliantly, but sounds so much like Bon Scott on the eariler AC/DC, you would think “he is possessed by the great man's spirit”, as one fan put it. Put this together with Australia's best rhythm section of (Original member) Steve Mitchelmore (drums), Dave Ross (bass) and (Original member) Simon Croft on rhythm guitar as Malcolm Young and you have got one fantastic show!. "It's a long way to Melbourne if you wanna rock 'n' roll, but it helps if it's with THUNDERSTRUCK" - MARK EVANS, (formerly of AC/DC).
