Heavy Metal???

edit

AC/DC is not and nowhere near Heavy Metal lmao, any source that claims it's heavy Metal either have no ears or doesn't know anything about Metal music. WrestleLuxury Wiki (talk) 13:15, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please see this discussion here. That has been discussed already, and the Wikipedia community have concluded via a long-standing consensus that it is a "heavy metal" band, with the genre being sourced well enough to define it under "heavy metal".

Besides that is all addressed in the first paragraph. They are often described as "heavy metal" even if they prefer to call their music just "rock n roll". That is fair and neutral enough. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 13:45, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
