AC/DC fans slam the band for lacklustre performances as ageing rock band prepares to tour Australia: 'Time to retire'
Fans of AC/ DC have turned on their heroes after footage from their current global tour dropped on TikTok.
In the clip, which appears to have been filmed at a recent gig in Pasadena, USA, guitarist Angus Young, 70, can be seen trying to rouse the crowd with a chant of 'Oi, Oi, Oi' during the band's hit 'High Voltage'.
Once known for his ever youthful look, the blond-haired veteran rocker, dressed in white shirt, and velvet 'school shirts' was hardly recognisable as the vigorous performer he is known as.
And this had fans asking whether Angus and his band were now past their prime.
'Time to retire' posted more than one user on the thread, which has attracted 1294 comments.

Also seen in the clip, is AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson, 77, who also appeared 'slow' compared to the fury of the on stage performances of the past.
'Surely this is going to be their last tour??' added one fan, while another enthusiast did not hold back: 'Damn I'm an AC/DC fan but this sucks a**.'
Another fan was equally harsh messaging, 'They are done money off this?? Unbelievable.. and I'm a BIG AC DC FAN … Geezus boys!!!'
Still, the post has attracted 90.3K love heart 'likes' as well as comments from fans prepared to back the famed Australian band as they continue their Pump Up World Tour.
'I have seen AC/DC six times since 1977. I would go again!' wrote one supporter on the thread, while another simply gushed: 'Awesome.'
A third fan commented on the status of the US leg of the tour.
'[They are] selling out stadiums. I don't think they are embarrassing themselves. The crowds having a great time. They aren't stopping.'
It comes after the Australian rockers announced they were headed Down Under in November for the first time in a decade.
The iconic band, formed in 1973, are set to play a string of massive stadium shows in November and December.
And while many fans are thrilled over the upcoming gigs, some posted to social media on Monday to rage over the sky high concert ticket prices.
Posting to Facebook, one user shared that 'Ultimate' A-Reserve seating for AC/DC's gigs in Australia start at a whopping $407.70, while general admission standing tickets cost $305.75.
Other prices listed include $203.80 for A-Reserve seating and $132.45 for B-Reserve seats.
'That's a lot of money to hear B-DOW BAMP B-DAMP,' joked one fan on the thread.
Added another social media user, '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 Brian Johnson and guitar icon Angus Young, AC/DC will hit major cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.
AC/DC will kick off their Australian leg at Melbourne's MCG on November 12, before heading to Sydney's Accor Stadium on November 21.
From there, the legendary rockers will take the stage at the BP Adelaide 500 Grand Finale on November 30, before travelling to Perth's Optus Stadium for a show on December 4.
They'll wrap up the Aussie tour in style with a final stadium gig at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on December 14.
