oh, sorry. i thought you were referencing that as a cliff groove clip. bon was the best.

Cliff is a solid player. As someone already said, him and Phil make the perfect rhythm section for AC/DC.

[chantezlebas]

yeah but it was Carol Kaye who played on all tracks on Highway to Hell.......... and she stills have the tabs used for the session to prove it

I agree with you guys wholeheartedly. Cliff is a legend. He has a great feel and an awesome tone. Phil and him are two peas in a pod, and are the consummate rhythm section. There is an important lesson here for all of us (not just newbies): Sometimes less IS more. Be a team player and deliver what the songs require. Just because you don't shred the fretboard doesn't mean you are a subpar player. I am sure that Angus, Mal, Brian and Phil appreciate having Cliff in their band.

"landslide" on Flick of the switch has some pretty cool bass fills.

Phil Rudd + Cliff Williams + Malcolm Young = a singular rhythmic force of nature.

I currently play in a AC/DC tribute band http://www.thunderstrucklive.com. I never really paid that much attention to Cliffs bass before I played in this band. Everbody thinks AC/DC stuff is so easy, but to get it right and to get the sound took a lot more work than I thought it would.

My favorite AC/DC track is Sin City! It rawks!!

I started listening to AC/DC back in 1974 (I was only 7yrs old) thanks to Sue (a family friend who was from Australia) who brought the (original) High Voltage album. After that I was hooked. I wanted to play the guitar cause of the Young brothers. I still have to meet another AC/DC fan as dedicated as myself and my brother. What stuck with me though (even though it's not Cliff) it's a song called "Soul Stripper". Two notes the whole 7-8min of the tune (just one fill on the chorus). Simplicity to the max. When "Power Age" came out, I felt that the driving drummer (Phil Rudd) found the ultimate match in the playing of the new bass player, Cliff Williams. The ultimate groove in Rock is Malcom, Phil and Cliff. Cliff plays with such power and dedication he shows he is the ultimate team player in the best team of rock. They don't have the ultimate technique as players (Yngwie, Vai, Satriani, Gilbert and many others will disagree with my statement and will direct me on the vibrato of Angus; rightfully so) but they have the songs and the groove to make them rock in eternity

He just pumps out with Phil Rudd, and it's so simple and great!
