AC/DC Fans Clash: 'Time to Retire' or Rock on? Tour Controversies Heat Up!

Fans of AC/ DC have turned on their heroes after footage from their current global tour dropped on TikTok. Pictured: Angus Young performing in Pasadena USA in April

SHOCKING ROCK 'N' ROLL REVEAL: AC/DC Fans FURIOUS Over Band's Lackluster Performance on TikTok

TheScholarlyNote.com has just dropped a bombshell that's left fans of Australian rock icons AC/DC in an uproar. A sizzling hot clip from the band's current global tour has been shared on TikTok, and it's got everyone talking - for all the wrong reasons.

In the scorching hot footage, which appears to have been filmed during a recent gig in Pasadena, USA, legendary guitarist Angus Young, 70, can be seen trying to get the crowd pumped up with a chant of 'Oi, Oi, Oi' during their hit song 'High Voltage'. But instead of his usual energetic and youthful self, Angus looks like he's struggling to keep up.

The blond-haired veteran rocker is sporting a white shirt and velvet "school shirts", but it's clear that he's not the vigorous performer we've come to know and love. Fans are left asking: is AC/DC past their prime?

The comments section on TheScholarlyNote.com has been set ablaze with fans calling for the band to hang up their instruments for good. "Time to retire" posted more than one user, while another enthusiastic fan added, "Surely this is going to be their last tour??"

Even die-hard AC/DC fans are admitting that the band's performance has taken a noticeable dip. "Damn I'm an AC/DC fan but this sucks a**," wrote one disgruntled enthusiast.

Also seen in the clip, is AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson, 77, (pictured) who also appeared 'slow' compared to the fury of the on stage performances of the past

But not all fans are ready to throw in the towel just yet. One devoted supporter chimed in, "I have seen AC/DC six times since 1977. I would go again!" Another fan simply gushed, "Awesome."

The clip has racked up an impressive 90.3K love heart 'likes' and counting, with many fans defending the band's right to continue touring despite their perceived decline.

Meanwhile, some fans are already looking forward to AC/DC's upcoming Australian leg of their Pump Up World Tour, which kicks off on November 12 at Melbourne's MCG. The legendary rockers will also be heading to Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane, with ticket prices ranging from $132.45 for B-Reserve seats to a whopping $407.70 for "Ultimate" A-Reserve seating.

But some fans are feeling the pinch - and not just because of the hefty ticket prices. One user took to Facebook to express their frustration over the high cost of tickets, posting that "Ultimate" A-Reserve seating starts at $407.70, while general admission standing tickets cost $305.75.

Another fan chimed in, "For a band like this should offer prices for kids aged under 18. Or offer family packages. Great way to inspire young-lings to go with their parents to be educated in what a band is."

Fronted by the iconic Brian Johnson and guitar legend Angus Young, AC/DC will be bringing their high-energy show to major cities across Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane.
