if I listened to 17 straight hours of Finnish bands playing AC/DC!
Of course they slag here, since they don't have the guts to do it face-to-face. Nerdish chickens is what blabbermouth.net is full of and has been for a while. Most here are anyway 12-year olds full of pent-up anger because their mothers don't allow them to stay up after 8pm and watch csi.

Club Teatria in Oulu will host the first ever AC/DC marathon on Saturday, February 18. The proceeds of the event will all be granted to Suomen Mielenterveysseura ry, the Finnish Association for Mental Health, and the charity event is estimated to last a total of 17 hours.
The Hard rock-marathon will feature frontline Finnish musicians and they will play the whole production of AC/DC (14/15 studio albums) in chronological order, from the beginning to the end. The event will introduce several existing bands as well as line-ups specifically put together for this occasion.
Among others, artists from the following bands will make an appearance during the marathon: Sami Saari; Freud, Marx, Engels & Jung; Velcra, Quintessence, Emmi, Leningrad Cowboys, Ismo Alanko, Kirka, Gringos Locos and Topi Sorsakoski. Complete line-ups making an appearance on stage include Morley, The Skreppers, Aino, Iivana Julma, Sweet Freaks and Dirty Deeds Indeed . The musicians, who take no more fees for their performance than their board and travel costs, are all long-term professionals and they represent a variety of musical genres. The marathon will, for example, show if professionals of classical music or jazz can play the hard rock of AC/DC.
The New York-based Live Wire , the band who were voted the best AC/DC-cover band in the US, is also expected to have their own number at the marathon. The event will also feature some surprise acts and artists. Impressive pyrotechnics will blast on stage from the start.
