Led by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, AC/DC conquered the world in the 1970s and early 1980s with classic albums like “Highway to Hell” (1979) and “Back in Black” (1980). At the time, there were many incredible Hard Rock bands also releasing what would turn out to be their best-selling albums. Angus was well aware of what was happening in the music scene then, and over the years he has shared his opinions on several bands from that era, including Deep Purple. What is Angus Young's opinion on Deep Purple Angus Young's opinion might have changed over the years, but when he spoke about Deep Purple in interviews, he didn’t have good things to say about the band. “I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, ‘Geez, this is ridiculous.’ You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sorts of things. I always hated it. So I always thought it was a poor man’s Led Zeppelin,” Angus Young told Guitar World in 1984. AC/DC's first encounter with Deep Purple happened in 1975 and was not a pleasant one. They were supposed to play before the British band at a festival in Australia, but they ended up getting into a fight with members of Purple's crew as Angus recalled in an interview with ABC. "(...) As just as we got there all these cars and these Rolls-Royces all come pulling down with Deep Purple.” Angus Young continued: “They decided that they were gonna go on (on stage). We got out there and we were told that we were gonna go on at nine o’clock. Anyhow, everything was cool as far as we knew and then at the last minute something happened. I think it was our manager, somebody said that somebody threw a punch at our manager. (It) was one of the Deep Purple tour guys, so that was it. We were all bunched up in this caravan changing”. “I remember we all came running out and it was quite funny in a way. Because we arrived there and we got a guy who was like a forklift truck driver, just a working guy. I remember him coming and saying ‘I’ll help. So we got on stage, there was this big security people. But I remember he dropped some equipment on some big guy and knocked him out. Then Bon (Scott) had someone like in a headlock and this guy was sort of spinning him (in the air). Bon was yelling out ‘Don’t worry, guys. I got him’ (laughs).” He continued: “I suppose all chaos broke out. Then I got on, on the microphone and I said (to the kids) in front ‘Hey, we need a bit of a hand up here. So they started come over the fence and we had like a standoff. The promoter said: ‘Deep Purple go on, then you can go on after’. So we thought ‘All right, we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt’. So Deep Purple got on and they played their set. I think they cut their set short and they walked off.” “Then they started stripping the gear and the promoter started fighting with them. Because he said ‘It’s a continuous festival and the kids had been waiting to see this band (AC/DC) all day, you know. Then again, (the fight) started up again. We never got to play in the end. But the next day was all you read about: ‘AC/DC in brawl with Deep Purple’. So in the end, it actually elevated us and more people came to see us,” Angus Young said. David Coverdale, who was Purple's frontman at the time later said that there was no bad blood between them. He became a good friend of Angus and everytime they meet they laugh about that story. When Ritchie Blackmore supposedly tried to jam with AC/DC and they left him hanging Although their first time sharing a festival bill wasn’t a good experience, one year later, after Ritchie Blackmore had left the band and formed Rainbow, AC/DC became the band’s opening act in Europe. But curiously, sometime before those shows, Ritchie Blackmore supposedly showed up at the Marquee Club in London wanting to jam with AC/DC, but the band slipped out the back door and left him hanging. That story was told in the book "AC/DC: The Definitive History by Kerrang! Files", saying: "This residency (In London), and the band’s obvious popularity, led to an offer to support Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow in Europe during August. A three-week trek that took them to Germany, France and across Scandinavia. It was vitally important for AC/DC, as Blackmore’s standing ensured that they were appearing in massive theatres and arenas, not compact clubs." "Strangely, Blackmore is supposed to have turned up at The Marquee just prior to this tour starting and is alleged to have asked whether he could jam with the band. Yet, although Acca Dacca are said to have agreed, they apparently left Blackmore tuning up by himself onstage just before this liaison was supposed to happen, having left the venue by the back door! Needless to say the famed Man In Black (as Blackmore was affectionately known) was rather bemused by the whole affair," the book said. Ritchie Blackmore doesn't like AC/DC's music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4fDCwDiWJQ&list=RDt4fDCwDiWJQ&start_radio=1&pp=ygUQZGVlcCBwdXJwbGUgYnVybqAHAQ%3D%3D Blackmore once said that when AC/DC first appeared, he thought they sounded “incredibly dated.” However, he admired them for staying loyal to their sound. When the Rock and Roll scene took a different direction, AC/DC’s music ended up fitting what the audience wanted, and they became successful. However, he doesn't like their music as he told Fuzz’s Paul Guy in 1998. “I don’t like to do a lot of these tribute (album) things come along, but I usually turn them down. Cause you can get carried away with that nonsense. ‘A Tribute to AC/DC’ – it’s like, ‘”Wait a minute… I really don’t like that band!’ I think one or two is enough (Tribute projects),” Blackmore said. AC/DC was certainly not an easy band to follow on stage. So Rainbow had to step up their game at the time to put on a good show. According to the Susan Masino book "Let There Be Rock" (2009), "(...) One night, Ritchie Blackmore refused to let them do an encore. The fans were so upset, many of them walked out before Rainbow came on". Bob Daisley, who was Rainbow's bassist at the time believes that Blackmore actually might have felt a bit threatened by how good AC/DC was at the time. “They were treated OK, Ritchie didn’t really comment much. He sort of kept it to himself, which if he’d been really impressed, he probably would have said something, but he didn’t say much." He continued: "Maybe he felt a little threatened or something. I don’t know because they used to always go down well. It was only a few shows that they did with us where they opened up for us,” Bob Daisley told  Shockwaves Skullsessions in 2021. Although Deep Purple and AC/DC had different styles, they managed to do something extremely rare and difficult in music: replace a successful singer in the band and still remain relevant, releasing more classic albums.The post Angus Young’s opinion on Deep Purple appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

Here's a story all about a gift that keeps on giving. When TikToker @anh.isoff posted about Costco’s beloved pre-packed tiramisu, she wasn’t raving about the flavor. She was talking about the cups. Specifically, how the cups found new life long after the delicious dessert inside was consumed. In a video that has now racked up more than 3.4 million views, she showed how her family kept the small glass containers the dessert came in, and repurposed them as elegant glassware. “POV: Your family bought tiramisu from Costco but didn’t know it also came with cups, so now y’all use it for drinks,” her video's caption read. @anh.isoff tiramisu is debatedly the best dessert #tiramisu #rareaesthetic #shopping #family #costco ♬ Gorof (Elixir) (feat. Sahra Dawo) - Dur Dur Band This clearly struck a very relatable chord. In the comments, thousands of people chimed in to say they too had a secret stash of Costco tiramisu glasses hiding in their kitchen cabinets.“I found my people,” one person wrote, sharing a photo of their collection. Glasses.@anh.isof/TikTokAnother added, “Oh my GOD I forgot how these spawned in the cabinet.”And the uses go beyond makeshift drinking cups, apparently. Pretty soon the comments began rolling in from other Costco shoppers who found creative uses for their tiramisu cups:“I use them to make tiny desserts.”“They’re perfect espresso cups.”“Painted mine and made makeup brush holders.”“I use them for ice cream, it’s the perfect serving for it” Screenshot.@anh.isof/TikTokAnd on the subreddit r/Costco, there were even more inventive uses:"I just use them for storing things I cut up while cooking like chopped chives, cucumber etc.""Shot/cocktail glasses.""Mine are tealight candle holders on all my windowsills.""My kid has a collection of them in his bedroom. Apparently they're Goldfish cracker serving sized."I reuse them as dipping cups. Ketchup/mayonnaise for fries, barbecue sauce/honey for chicken nuggets, soy sauce for shrimp tempura!""My friend laser engraved these cups for his wedding. they were part of the gift packs." Screenshot.@anh.isof/TikTokThis delightful Internet moment somehow turned a seemingly ordinary tiramisu cup into a bona fide symbol of thrift and human ingenuity all rolled into one. And it served as a bittersweet reminder of how foreign it can feel to purchase something, even a plain dessert cup you buy from a grocery store, that’s actually built to last.Much to the crowd’s chagrin, many viewers noted a sad revelation: Costco no longer sells their legendary tiramisu in glass.Several commenters shared their heartbreak.“Bruh, my parents bought a second pack and noticed they changed the cups to plastic, and the design was different :/ they’re not as nice,” lamented one person.“I miss those Costco tiramisu cups so bad,” said another. Screenshot.@anh.isof/TikTokIt’s funny how something as simple as packaging (or the loss thereof) can create such a collective sigh. Maybe it’s because the glass cups felt special…a small touch of care that elevated a store-bought dessert into something worth keeping.Still, it was fun for folks to find community in something so utterly niche. “This is so hyper specific I love it,” one person wrote. Stories like this remind us that reusability is more than just practical. It’s creative and joyful. In a world overflowing with single-use everything, it’s heartening to see people celebrate the beauty of giving an object a second life. And maybe, just maybe, this is a sign that Costco (and every other grocery giant) should consider bringing back reusable glass packaging. Of course, there are plenty of logistical reasons why that might be tricky. But it’s hard not to imagine how much better it would feel, both for the planet and for customers, if more products were made to last instead of toss.

When you decide to marry the person you're madly in love with, it's easy to assume things will just work out. But as we all know from the statistics, that's not really how lifelong commitment works. Relationships are wonderful when they're good, but good relationships rarely just happen on their own. It takes intention and communication and dedication on the part of both partners to have a happy, healthy marriage. What that looks like is different for every couple, of course, but it's always good to see specific examples of what helps a relationship thrive. Perhaps that's why a wife and husband's video sharing the "7 unspoken rules" of their marriage has nearly 1.5 million views in a week. Not only are Lila and Sean's rules rooted in solid relationship dynamics, but the way they deliver them makes it clear that they truly adore one another. @liliannawilde the 7 unspoken rules of our marriage! (except they are kind of spoken rules because we talk too much lol) @Sean Kolar #couple #couplestiktok #couplegoals #marriage #marriedlife Rule #1: You have to "riff the bit"Let's say your wife is making dinner and you walk into the kitchen. She says, "Hallo, my dahhling!" as if she's a character in Downton Abbey. What do you do? "If someone comes in and they're improving—they have a character, or they're talking in a British accent, you gotta go with the joke," says Lila. "It's an improv house. This is 'yes, and'…it's a 'yes, and' kind of environment here." Then she and Sean give a perfect, brief example as they both don a Barbara from "Coffee Talk" on SNL accent. Barbara from "Coffee Talk" on SNL Giphy Why it's worth considering: This rule is all about playfulness and creativity and delighting in one another's silliness. It says, "I see your goofy and celebrate it." It also helps you both not take things too seriously. Rule #2: Grocery shop treat"Whoever does the grocery shopping has to pick up a sweet treat, a surprise, for the other person," says Sean. "Usually Lili will pick me up a kombucha or something, and I'll pick her up chocolate or flowers." couple chocolate GIF by South Park Giphy Why it's worth considering: Assuming you're switching off the grocery shopping pretty evenly, this rule is a great opportunity to show thoughtfulness and consideration to your partner. Nothing major, just a little treat. The little things sometimes feel like big things over time. Rule #3: She gets the rewardsSean and Lili explain that Lili gets the free coffee on the punch card when they've reached 10 coffees and get the 11th one free. Any time there's a reward, she gets it. They do not explain this one, however… She always gets the rewards. Photo credit: CanvaWhy it's worth considering: There are two reasons why this rule makes sense. One, it eliminates deciding each time who gets the reward, thereby removing any possibility for bickering or competition. Sometimes a clear rule helps simplify things. Why her and not him? Well, there's plenty of research on the disproportionate burden women bear when it comes to household and family duties, even when a couple tries to even it out. A free coffee once in a while seems like a fair trade off.Rule #4: A joke is only a joke if we both find it funny"A joke is only a joke if both of us are laughing, says Sean." "If one of us is laughing and the other is embarrassed or scared or upset, then it's not a joke," adds Lili. "That can't continue. It's only funny if we both find it funny." Joking Schitts Creek GIF by CBC Giphy Why it's worth considering: This is just a good life rule in general. Humor can be a great way to bond, and it can also be used to hurt someone. If only one of you is laughing, it's not funny. Rule #5: Share everything at a restaurant"Everything we order, we're splitting," Lili says. "There is nothing that is just yours or just mine." She says it would make her so sad if Sean said, "I don't want you to have a bite of this." You don't have to go to this length of sharing. Photo credit: CanvaWhy it's worth considering: First of all, having this understanding from the get go prevents a lot of annoyance over someone taking bites of your food. Some couples may actually set up an opposite rule—no sharing food at restaurants—and that might work for them, too. But sharing food as a matter of course lets you share the experience together, compare dishes, talk about the flavors, etc. Just make sure you're both cognizant of not hogging anything.Rule #6: If the dog is comfy on you, you don't have to do anything"You cannot disrupt the dog," says Lili. "If Beans is cozy, you win, you get to stay cozy with Beans." The other person has to do dishes, bring the person with the dog water, etc. Whoever has the dog on their lap must be served. Photo credit: CanvaWhy it's worth considering: First of all, this is the rule at most homes with pets that I know. Secondly, it's a sign that you're caring for something together and recognize that caregiving is an important role. Caregiving will be a big part of a lifelong relationship, from raising kids to taking care of aging parents. Rule #7: The money ruleLili pulls this from Barbara once again: "I've got two rules for this marriage. Number one, you don't tell me how you make your money. And number two, I don't tell you how I spend it." Mike Myers playing Barbara on SNL Giphy Why it's worth considering: It's not. It's a joke. (According to Lili in the comments.) People loved seeing Lili and Sean's rules, calling them "wholesome" and "healthy." While it's not a great idea to have rigid or controlling rules in a relationship, rules that establish healthy boundaries, methods of communication, the way things are done in the household, etc. can actually be a big help to a couple. And while Lili and Sean's "rules" might seem silly on the surface, they're actually rooted in healthy relationship dynamics. As long as a couple comes up with them together, with both people in full agreement, it might be a good idea to create your own "rules" in you relationship. Lili and Sean clearly had fun with this together, and that alone is a promising indicator of a happy marriage. You can follow Lila and Sean for more on TikTok.
