I'm soon going to see a local ACDC tribute called Big Gun. That's an ok name, not as good as that lot what calls themselves Hell's Belles, brilliant! If I had a ACDC cover band, which should never be considered out of the realm of possibility, it would either be called Done Dirt Cheap or Ballbreakers.
