Me too never heard or known they exist, RUclips delivers another beauty! As soon as I heard thought he’s out but then rescues it . These guys are seriously good and enjoy what they do
Unlike most guitar clips I see here this one actually has a lot of musical merit. You can feel it building and it sounds good. It isn’t just fast and noisy with the guitarist showing off his speed.
@@funkjunkyg it’s subjective but studio version of the song to me is always the “right way” and in the studio version angus picks and doesn’t do the legato
@@funkjunkygHe played it using hammers live and in the music video. However, he is picking every note in the original record, which means that's the superior way to play it.

Hey friends, I'm randomly passing through but if you like Led Zeppelin you should listen to Greta Van Fleet! Young kids playing like ancient rock gods.
Yes, today's musicians are all about playing a thousand notes PERFECTLY, and without any soul or life. And their awful mushy distortions where you can't tell a note from another.
Lovely job boys! Let the power of Angus young flow through you . AC⚡️DC Will definitely approve. Loving this Royal Republic . You guys never disappoint
I spent a lot of money, and have everything Royal Republic has put out. Im 59. And from Minnesota. This is by far, the funnest, most talented, and most hard working rock band ive ever seen. And i just found them about 2 years ago. I wish them the very very best. Rock n’ Roll baby!!!!
@@khahhn8063 Angus is one of the goats of guitar solos but he's never been what most would consider a "shredder". Not because he can't. But because that just ain't his style. He's got too much blues influence to just raw shred. One of those "sometimes it's what you DON'T play that really matters" kinda fellas
@@Casi5000 Loose pick grip, like literally barely hold on to it. And play it more towards the neck where the string have less tension…..then……practice practice practice!!!
@@mattjns Yeah, I am in that "practice, practice, practice" part. Sometimes it works (somehow), sometimes not, it's still some way to go until I can do it reliably. Maybe only another 1 or 2 years, who knows :D I remember people saying that playing AC/DC is easy. There are easy ones, but this one is quite hard to me. Absolutely underrated riff.
There is musicianship...& how a band is supposed to work🤔🎶😎👍 I once made a boo-boo similarly in a completely different song (when I dropped a pick...it happens), we recovered impeccably & later on in the set, "the drummer of the hardest working, longest running band in Pennsylvania" (what a joke🙄😒) fired me publicly😡 I proceeded to name bands that have been around LONGER & told the remaining 3 they WON'T last (they didn't) & *graciously apologized to the crowd*, told "The Goulden Girls" (as I now call them) that if they want note-for-note perfection; hire the band who wrote these songs OR turn on a radio...then left.😎🤣 Most of the crowd left, too🤔 *BUT* The kind of REAL musicianship these guys in this video showed is VERY rare indeed😎👍 Kudos to a band that can keep on without "losing face"🎶🙏
TT Quick back In the day , played AC/DC better then AC/DC , they could do both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson flawlessly with power and finesse . Big things were expected from TTQuick.
He's definitely using AxeFX bro, the Epiphone is dope and I have respect for the band but I guarantee that there is an acdc preset that comes stock on the device.
Why is that amazing. The tone or the playability? Today's Epiphone is probably just as playable as a Gibson from the 1950s. I'd also suggest, with pickup winding back then, the tone was a little hit and miss. Todays amps and processors make tone a little easier to find, depending of course on what you're looking for. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I know nothing about these guys but it sounds like any guitar he plays will leave me awestruck. When I was a kid in the 70s, the cheep guitars came from Japan, and were crap. Not that the Epis are cheep but they do give excellent value compared to Gibson.
@@shelbyavant5081 I'll be 62 soon. In the 70s, that's 9 till 19 for me and yes, the low end Japanese guitars were crappy. They started getting better I'd say mid 80s. Epiphone was high end at one time, say in the 50s, I wasn't alive when Gibson bought them. After that, Gibson was the expensive brand and the Epiphones were less so but still good compared to Asian. That's after production went to Kalamazoo. Same factory as Gibson. Can't recall when they closed it and moved it to I think Nashville, after it was sold to Norlin. That's when some say the Gibson's got really bad. Still better than Asian. Eventually the Japanese guitars got pretty good. Fender started making their Squire stuff there before Mexico. Then the low end stuff came from Indonesia and eventually China. You can probably find all this on Google but of course a lot of this is subjective. Eventually Gibson started using Epiphone as an entry level name. The bolt on Les Paul's were cheap and even the set neck ones were very reasonable compared to now. I was shocked how much they went up. The Epi Dot, basically an ES335 copy retailed for, should say listed for around $850 Canadian around the year 2000. I bought a slightly used natural finish one for less than 500CDN about 5 years ago at a dealer store. Long & McQuaid, up here in Canada. I'm assuming that you're in the US? Everything will be much less there as your dollar is worth so much more. Anyway. Even the low end China built guitars aren't bad now but their brass and woodwind stuff isn't worth buying except as a paper weight. Sorry, I've gone on so long. That's what being bored with nothing better to do will do to ya. I burned my left hand index finger and needed a skin graft around Christmas and still can't play for very long times without it hurting for a few days. I've switched to a Squire Tele since I lost all my guitars, on account of a slumlord a few years ago. Shouldn't say all as it was only 3. The Epiphone Dot. A Hummingbird copy I found in an alley that took a long time to fix but ended up playing Okay and a Regent from the 1930s that looked cool but didn't play all that well. That one I got for 20. I had to put a few cleats on the back to fix some cracks which took a long time as my arms wouldn't fit in the sound hole and reach far enough. It really needed the neck reset which I've never done but imagine I could pull off. Still, it probably wouldn't of been worth all the work. Or I could of went middevel on the bridge and carved it down to a point where the saddle could of went down. That didn't feel right as it looked cool and I didn't want to ruin it. It had vine work painted on the top like they did back then. That was made in Chicago I think. Hard to say as half the label was gone but I think that's where most were made. Damn, I went on again. Not easy entering all this text on a phone. I need another laptop. Have a good night sir or morning by the time you get this. It's 3:27am in my time zone right now.

Just stop
@Regulatory Affairs those are Joc Petersons
i thought they were a wedding band
LOL
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊❤🎉
These musicians ARE AWESOME.
the best part is the reaction of the drummer when he come back to the riff
Bro seriously ,my first day hearing these guy's today!! Their fkn 🔥!!!That quick smile & nod was legit!!!
Me too never heard or known they exist, RUclips delivers another beauty! As soon as I heard thought he’s out but then rescues it . These guys are seriously good and enjoy what they do
These guys are no joke!! They’re right on point with their set list and playing!!!
And that was picked EVERY note. What a hardworking musician.
that's the way it should be played... i saw an interview with angus and he talked about how tiring that song is to play because you pick every note
ah actually no , close but no. I know I play it.
@@kenslawich3148
wtf are you talking about?
@@kenslawich3148 if you are not picking every note... you are not playing it the way angus wrote it...... so you are playing it WRONG
Thunderstruck is like one of the easiest songs on guitar no matter how you play it... It's all on one string.
Metallica and AC/DC on an Epiphone Casino.... I have officially seen it all now
Any guitar can do it

@@themastersas3x3 you should really look at getting an electric; opens up another world

It's Epiphone's version of a Gibson 335, great guitar.
How do you figure? Hollow body’s are awesome
Watched this about 30 times never gets old , these guys rock hard

When you're hand starts cramping but the show must go on
Great to see a new generation keeping rock and roll alive ❤
Wow Paul F. Tompkins can really shred!
He found the pic of destiny in the parking lot, remember?
You got me on that one!!! Hah!😂
Showmanship and excellent playing, golden combo right there 👌👌🙏
Saw them here in Switzerland, kinda open air festival with local bands. They blew everything away: wonderful gig and incredible skills and vocals.
🙈
Yes because they play thunderstruck from ACDC
It only works as long as the audience doesn't know how to play themselves...
That's brilliant 👍 but hard to beat the real thing! I seen Ac/Dc a few times but best by far was Donninton 1991 Monster of Rock festival ✌️🤜🤛💪☘️🇮🇪💚
Lovely job boys! Let the power of Angus young flow through you .
AC⚡️DC Will definitely approve.
Loving this Royal Republic .

Only the duck walk is missing. Musically perfect!😊
And the one handed playing that angus does/did
Yeah the walk really makes it.

same

I love what they’re wearing… And the pearls… Guys wearing pearls! I love it.
Finally someone who plays it right!

ACDC classic, RR playing Thunderstruck loving it :D
Love the energy didn't know they been on the scene so long. Music vets.

You dont gotta but you certainly can pick every note of this. Good job man
They always put on an awesome show.
Who?
The fact he’s picking it is how you know he’s legit
As a classical guitarist I would be plucking the strings - it's too easy.
That was a great save. Good bands know how to overcome adversity without the audience even recognizing it. Well done
Absolutely smashed it
Thank you SO MUCH for playing this the Angus (read "right") way. Magnificent!
Spettacolare interpretazione..e spettacolare pezzo..Forever ACDC
They are so awesome!
The drummers headbang as he nailed that second part was it for me, he feelin it 🤌🏼
