1) AC is the project of Alex Cameron, a young musician from the suburbs of Glasgow, Scotland.
2) AC is a rapper out of Staten Island. His myspace is www.myspace.com/thisisac.
3) AC Coming from a musical family, AC started playing drums at an early age. His parents encouraged this early musical talent with piano lessons at the age of 8.
AC was involved in a number of teenage experimental bands as a drummer, including "Big Mac and the Small Fries". Local popularity fuelled AC's desire to emerge from behind the kit and stand at the front of the stage for once, so for his 18th birthday he asked for, and received, an acoustic guitar. A succession of earnest "high school" songs followed until AC found his niche.
The successful side project "Plughole" followed in 2003, with the "Hello Ladies" album selling out in a number of days. The strain of distance between band members and work and travel commitments forced the band to dissolve in early 2004.
These days AC's work is influenced by the music he grew up with, his experience in the corporate world, and the bread and butter of every songwriter, relationships.
Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
AC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw away your fancy clothes
And while you're out there sittin' on a fence
So get off your ass and come down here
Cause rock 'n' roll ain't no riddle man
To me it makes good, good sense
Heavy decibels are playing on my guitar
We're just listening to the rock that's giving too much noise
Are you deaf, you want to hear some more
We're just talkin' about the future
Forget about the past
It'll always be with us
It's never gonna die, never gonna die
[Chorus]
Rock 'n' roll ain't noise pollution
Rock 'n' roll ain't gonna die
Rock 'n' roll ain't no pollution
Rock 'n' roll it will survive
I took a look inside your bedroom door
You looked so good lying on your bed
Well, I asked you if you wanted any rhythm and love
You said you want to rock 'n' roll instead
We're just talkin' about the future
Forget about the past
It'll always be with us
It's never gonna die, never gonna die
[Chorus]
Rock 'n' roll is just rock 'n' roll
The lyrics to AC/DC's "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" speak to the enduring power and importance of rock music. The song begins by addressing the "middle men," or those who maintain a passive and indecisive position, encouraging them to shed their pretenses and embrace the raw energy and authenticity of rock and roll. The singer asserts that rock music is not a puzzle to be solved or dissected, but rather a straightforward and undeniable force that "makes good, good sense."
The chorus serves as a defiant declaration of the everlasting nature of rock music- it is not a pollutant or a dying art form, but a vital and vibrant force that will always survive. The verses convey a sense of camaraderie and shared passion among lovers of rock music- the singer shares a moment of connection with someone else who prefers to "rock 'n' roll instead" of engaging in other activities, and reminds all listeners that rock music represents the future rather than the past. So long as people are willing to embrace the power and noise of rock and roll, the genre will live on forever.
