replies: text: A quick search on google brings up [How much of a stereotypical Aussie are you?] among others. Hardly truly citable, being a blog, but living in Australia you do tend to hear this phrase a lot, and from memory (I don`t have the book in hand) its in # ^ Walker, Clinton (1994).

message: I found :Image:Acdc high voltage international album.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Longwaysingle.gif

message: 'On Tuesday the 23rd of February a flat-bed truck will move up Bourke Street towards Parliament House followed by thousands of musicians and fans protesting the government's liquor licensing crackdown.' A crackdown that has seen the end for some of Australia's top music venues including The Tote. 'On top of this truck, the RocKwiz orchestra will play Long Way to the Top , just as AC/DC did when they recorded their video clip for the song along Flinders Street in 1976. Thus far, ten thousand protesters have confirmed their attendance. '

message: "The heavy metal band Metallica play the recording at every concert over the PA before they go on."
I have been to many Metallica concerts over the years and they have never played this song as an intro. This isn't a 'citation needed', it's just plain wrong and I have removed it. If someone can come up with a specific tour or specific concerts were this happened, sure add it back in. TallGuy (talk) 23:02, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I'd hate to sound pedantic but from my memory it's incorrect to say that pipe band were on the flat-bed truck. As I recall they were walking behind the band. As it is the article seems to suggest it was one crowded truck! Tigerman2005 (talk) 03:07, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I have personally been at 2 concerts where the new singer performed "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll" both times accompanied by local bag-pipe bands. I suspect the reason he usually doesn't perform it is because of the need for bagpipes rather than out of respect for Bon Scott. If it were out of respect, he wouldn't perform any of the song's performed by Scott.98.255.164.130 (talk) 20:29, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
