i have the same problem with all the rappers and metal heads in my school.. people laughed at me when i said i like ac/dc...
anyway there are still few people out there who like good music like me :)

good luck with that stairway solo..
i dunno why lots of people learn it as a first song..
it's quite hard to play the solo on this one exactly as jimmy plays it, but still it was the most enjoyable solo to learn
