@@SonnyGTA and don’t give me 🤦♀️emoji, like I’m some newbie. I not only have every AC/DC Bon Scott album, including the Australian release of high voltage and TNT, I also have the fraternity releases with Bon with hits like seasons of change and Hemmings Farm. You think I don’t know Sin City? E, B, D, A…and repeat. I know me my sin city and all of powerage. Carry me home, love song and fling thing and songs 99% of songs other AC/DC fans have never heard of. If it happened before 1984 (before fly on the wall, then they started sucking), i know all about it, thank you very much..
Absolutely. AC/DC embodied the same energy Hip Hop did a decade before street music took over the genre. 2pac & DMX are my favourite MC's for the same reason the boys will always be my #1 band.
I beg younger people who got into AC/DC via "Back in Black" to go listen to "Powerage". The universal reaction is something like "Holy S*%#". This is not a Brian vs Bon thing. It is that Powerage is an immaculate album full that never gets enough credit. Their best work.
I don't think that it can be anything but a Bon v Brian thing. If you experienced AC/DC when Bon was in charge, then Brian who seems like a top geezer there is no comparison. Back in Black was a Bon album , you can hear him in it. No harm to Brian but he could not hold a candle to Bon's lyrics.
@@davidwood6351 Well, it is not a Bon v Brian thing for me because I was not talking about lyrics or even the difference in vocals. AC/DC's sound changed over the years and Powerage sounds like blues rock recorded in a garage. And I think the riffs are a little stronger, overall. That is something that is not uncommon when you aren't trying to do something different than your past work. If anything it is probably that career timing effect and a Vanda/Young vs Mutt Lange production thing.
My favourite band, my favourite album and my favourite song ✊😁 Bon Scott was a lyrical genius writing about everyday struggles which shows he was just a normal person trying to make his way in a hard world
I’m so thrilled that someone is FINALLY appreciating Bon’s genius with words. What a wordsmith he was. Just think of all the songs we missed out on when he died.
"What's Next to the Moon"! POWERAGE is a solid album! It is so awesome watching someone hear these songs for the first time, and Rockin' out like I did in 1978. 🤘🎶🎸
‘If It Ain’ broke don’t fix it!’ Amen my brother from another mother (& different dad possibly🤣) God bless you sir & have a safe & happy rest of 2024😂🎸🏆🎸
ACDC in the Bon Scott era were just dirty and grimy rock. No pretension, its like he just dragged himself out of the gutter and was handed a microphone, screeching like an alley cat, whilst the band just serves it up. Brilliant!
@@SonnyGTANope. Johnson ain’t wrote a lyric for a song for the band in over 30 years. What I wrote was the truth…it might hurt some but still the truth. Nice try though🙄
@@SonnyGTA Wrong. WIth Brian they turned big. But still, Bon was the guy who had the MUCH better lyrics. And i am a HUGE fan of Brian, because not only is he a great frontman, the best replacement for a fool who drunk himself to death, but he also is the finest guy in rock music. But from a music pov, Bon´s lyrics, the sounds, the whole thing was MUCH MUCH better. You need to understand - if Bon Scott area means 99-100% quality, with brian it is still 85-90%. And far ahead of all other bands.
Hey, bro I just wanna let you know, it's cool to see your reaction to the best band in the world. My very first concert 1979 San Diego, California, where a born and raised, got to see Bon Scott and ACDC. His voice is unbelievable as a lyric rider. Number one handstown, but that album is. Gives you Goosebumps, man. They rock and roll in the kick a** And I got to see Bon Scott 8 months before he passed away. What is shame but I could say I saw him sing live
I was 9 or 10 and my older brothers best friend said to me:” hey you want to hear something cool”? I said yeah and he played the song Riff Raff off of this LP and I was hooked for life that song alone made me fall in love with AC/DC and made me want to play guitar! I’ve seen them around 30 times live and can’t wait for the next tour! Long live the boys from down under
Bon Scott's finish to this song always surprised me that he could add that extra cello to his voice to make it a true blues classic. Luv what you do. Your responses during the solos show how deep you go. I have to tell a story now that I found your channel. I've been playing blues guitar for probably 40 years. I met a sax player from New Orleans and I played him "Ride On". He sat and listened like he was telling the story and when the song was over all he said was "that is some nasty blues". Bon had a way of telling a story that just hit home. So glad to see you connect with it. CHEERS
"I know I ain´t doin´ much. Doin´ nothing means a lot to me". He nailed it there. I live like that. Doin´ Nothing is very important for my mental health. I view doin´ Nothing as an active act and do save days for that.
Brilliant song, one of my favourites off probably AC/DS's best album. It's interesting you mention the hip hop connection thing. I've always felt the same about Bon Scott era AC/DC. He was a lyrical genius and they are hard edged and delivered with genuine street swagger.
I've loved these boys since 1977. They are far and away my favorite band in the world and Powerage is my favorite album. Greatest rock and roll album ever.
Powerage is my favorite album from them! At least in the bon Scott era. Angus and Malcolm showing their true talents in the album with Phil rudd playing drums at his best. Bon Scott’s lyrics are just pure genius and powerful at the same time. Just an outstanding album!
Aint that just a humbling life rockin tune,, lyrically spectacular, They were at the time untouchable with Riffs, these songs still stand so high even in 2022 Rock on 🤘
There lyrics always hit the spot.... The music in Australia is called pub rock.... Easy to rock out to and easy to drink to.... Love Bon Scott era ACDC
Another great reaction BizMan!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! You listen for the penmanship/Bon bringing it and you stay for the music!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also understand that the studio versions, they are usually short and sweet but when they are performing live there is always more, minutes more, as they rock out and improvise. It’s like they have 2 versions of the same track. One for the studio and one for the ppl live!!!!! They are Master’s at leaving you wanting more!!!!!! ❤️🎸🎸🎸 So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😎🍸
i love that youre doing a song by song on all the albums. Powerage is regarded by many long time fans as their favorite. Mine too. Bon was a lyrical genius. Who else could write a song about playing poker, but it's really about a woman giving him a venereal disease.
So happy to watch your reactions!! You didn't fall into the TH-cam trap of only reacting to Live at River Plate. You are in it for the music, not the crowd size. For live performances, check out Rock Goes to College (my favorite), Paris '79, Donnington '91. Great live musical performances, plus the crowds are great.
ALLLLL RIGHT MY MAN!! I found it!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Ok now I’m gonna check it out. Still hoping you did RIDE ON!! Catching up up up my brother. Just saw GO DOWN!!
Powerage is my favorite AC/DC album and Down Payment Blues is my favorite AC/DC song and Bon Scott was my all-time favorite singer. Before he was in AC/DC, Bon Scott was in an Australian Country Rock band called Fraternity. There's a video here on youtube for Seasons Of Change and Bon Scott nails it. The band looked like they were from the Australian Outback.
I friggin' love this song and I can so relate. Have experienced a few of those scenarios myself and Bon really sells it. He has probably been there as well. Thanks Biz!
OK I STOPPED WHEN YOU DID JUST TO ADD THIS COMMENT. I just fell in love with you!!! I LOVE THIS SONG. AND JUST FROM YOUR REACTION… so far… YOU DO TOO. I love you man!! And I’m so confident in my male sexuality to say that to another man!!
You said it exactly right! Powerage, just like outage. It didn't hurt! I hit it! Biz, you gotta see some of their videos that shows them having fun on the streets when they were young and rockin! It's great stuff and it will make you laugh your ass off! I'll find it. I'm sure I saved it all somewhere.
The guys in AC/DC were huge fans of blues and early rockn'roll ( e.g. Chuck Berry, Little Richard), the lyric content of which deals with the African American experience, and just the "street experience" in general. And several hip hop artists have admitted to being huge fans of AC/DC. It all ties together.
Thanks for reacting to this. It’s been a long time since I have seen someone else rock with this song like I did back in 19??. (I never took AC/DC seriously until I heard this song). Liking, subscribing, and following, now!
What i absolutely love about this track is the subtle change to higher tempo in the last verse to symbolise that he’s made it and living a better life in a his sailing boat but still living beyond his means, now he can’t afford gasoline for his boat. FYI this is the first album with Cliff Williams on bass and he really knocks or out the park on this album.
I remember hearing this the first time. Hairs on my arms went up. I'm jumping all over my room. The slow down... The lyrics... Queue rock grimace... Fist in the air. Stadium rock in my bedroom!
I've never heard anything definitive about the pronuciation of "Powerage", and I've been a 42 yr fan of the band. Most people, including me, pronounce it the way you do, Biz. Go with it. BTW, thanks for devoting so many reactions to ACDC. They are obviously worthy but no reactionists out there do what u do in terms of delving into their body of work. You ROCK, sir.
Bon Scott and AC/DC hadn’t had their big break yet and were known as the “working man’s band” in Australia and elsewhere, they put in all the hard work but hadn’t gotten the big payday or success yet until highway to hell and back in black, which Bon Scott only got to see a little of because he died during the back in black sessions. They really became millionaires off back in black. They were all geniuses, and this was before they had even made it!!!
BizMatik, you know that Bon Scott has the best lyrics ever written for AC/DC, and he was the BEST vocalist and frontman to ever perform in an Australian band. OMG, Bon was the frickin greatest of all time man… 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏👏
I’m happy you like AC/DC. Yes they started out very poor. They work hard and never give up. Did you hear the other song. It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll. Peace out brother.
I FUCKING LOVE the OUTRO of this song .....funny thing i had this album at 13 .... always chencged song after solo .... i discoverd the outros af acdc songs years later .....hahahahah
If you haven't done it... You gotta do "Whole Lotta Rossie". My dad grew up with this, and when I showed him my new sound system, this is what he wanted to hear. Its so good man. I have this rockin my truck on a regular basis. Please give this one a shot.
This is their best album in my opinion it was hard to find back in the seventies, but I did find it and still have it, The engineers of this band are Angus and Malcolm Young
A bit of an AC/DC history lesson here; In the UK in the 1950s the Australian government allowed poor families to get cheap, one way tickets down under so they could start a new, hopefully better, life. Both the Youngs and Bon Scott's families took up this offer. So, when Bon writes and sings about being poor he knows what he's talking about. He had experience of poverty long before he was a struggling musician.
Best ACDC album ever. No famous songs, no radio hits, just pure rock and roll from start to finish.
It's the perfect transitional period. It's like the Junior year high school student poised to be Valedictorian.
No radio hits?!?! SIN CITY?!?! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@SonnyGTA and don’t give me 🤦♀️emoji, like I’m some newbie. I not only have every AC/DC Bon Scott album, including the Australian release of high voltage and TNT, I also have the fraternity releases with Bon with hits like seasons of change and Hemmings Farm.
You think I don’t know Sin City? E, B, D, A…and repeat.
I know me my sin city and all
of powerage. Carry me home, love song and fling thing and songs 99% of songs other AC/DC fans have never heard of. If it happened before 1984 (before fly on the wall, then they started sucking), i know all about it, thank you very much..
Couldn’t agree more Mr 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sin city was a minor radio hit but you are correct this is my favorite Bon era LP!
Bon Scott was a true street poet. He definitely had a way with words.
Well described. Street poet for sure.
Best R&R lyricist ever.
Absolutely. AC/DC embodied the same energy Hip Hop did a decade before street music took over the genre. 2pac & DMX are my favourite MC's for the same reason the boys will always be my #1 band.
The best!
A bard 😊
I beg younger people who got into AC/DC via "Back in Black" to go listen to "Powerage". The universal reaction is something like "Holy S*%#". This is not a Brian vs Bon thing. It is that Powerage is an immaculate album full that never gets enough credit. Their best work.
Truth! I’ll take bon over Brian though. Lyrically and sounds just badass
I don't think that it can be anything but a Bon v Brian thing. If you experienced AC/DC when Bon was in charge, then Brian who seems like a top geezer there is no comparison. Back in Black was a Bon album , you can hear him in it. No harm to Brian but he could not hold a candle to Bon's lyrics.
@@davidwood6351 Well, it is not a Bon v Brian thing for me because I was not talking about lyrics or even the difference in vocals. AC/DC's sound changed over the years and Powerage sounds like blues rock recorded in a garage. And I think the riffs are a little stronger, overall. That is something that is not uncommon when you aren't trying to do something different than your past work. If anything it is probably that career timing effect and a Vanda/Young vs Mutt Lange production thing.
Always been and always will be my favorite!
Hell I'm 50 and I just recently fell in love with "Kicked in the Teeth" and "Down Payment Blues".
My favourite band, my favourite album and my favourite song ✊😁 Bon Scott was a lyrical genius writing about everyday struggles which shows he was just a normal person trying to make his way in a hard world
definitely the best song on this album
Agree💯
You're the first TH-cam reactioner that has went this deep into their beginnings thanks for that brother
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🦾⚡
I’m so thrilled that someone is FINALLY appreciating Bon’s genius with words. What a wordsmith he was. Just think of all the songs we missed out on when he died.
There are a lot of people who appreciate Bon. Maybe more so now than ever.
Fun fact. Powerage is Keith Richard’s favorite AC/DC album.
Also Eddie Van Halen’s!
Eddie Van Halen's also
Mine too ridiculously underrated
And that's something!! Keith doesn't like anybody's music
And Dave Mustaines
The raw power of songs such as this is phenomenal. Talk about lyrics that have resonance too. The Bon Scott era was special.
lets not leave out the human metronome himself.... mr. phil rudd on drums.
Phil has a swing though. the most straight forward metronome dummer goes to Frank Beard, ZZ Top
And that thumping rhythm from Malcolm
"You are a machine" - Phil "Oye Know"
The Phil Rudd glide has yet to be duplicated. His simplicity and groove are what make these guys the best at their craft.
"What's Next to the Moon"! POWERAGE is a solid album! It is so awesome watching someone hear these songs for the first time, and Rockin' out like I did in 1978. 🤘🎶🎸
Tis the most BEAUTIFUL sight and keeps true rock n roll alive God Bless🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
One of their best Albums!
Whhhaatt??? A reaction to Down Payment Blues??!!! Finally!! Instant subscribe! Great reaction 👍
‘If It Ain’ broke don’t fix it!’ Amen my brother from another mother (& different dad possibly🤣) God bless you sir & have a safe & happy rest of 2024😂🎸🏆🎸
What a blues rocker this one is. Find me even an average track on Powerage. It can't be done. Fire from top to bottom.
Bon was a lyrical genius
That ending sounded like the beginning of some more blues, rock n roll. I love the blues infused into their music.
Bro...you get the groove of ac dc and thats awesome...not everyone does but those that do we are kin....rock on
They're all about the groove. I didn't get AC/DC until some freeform station played Girls Got Rhythm, and it was *snap*.
ACDC in the Bon Scott era were just dirty and grimy rock. No pretension, its like he just dragged himself out of the gutter and was handed a microphone, screeching like an alley cat, whilst the band just serves it up. Brilliant!
It's fucking irresistable
I love that album, what's next to the moon, gone shooting and sin city.
throw in give me a bullet as well, lyrics are outstanding
what a sweet guitar solo..and the rhythm just keeps pushing forward. 40+ years later and this album still sounds fresh every play
Glad to see your appreciation for the story telling Bon could write.
AC/DC lost a lot of that after Bon died.
Nope. They carried on for 40 years with Brian Johnson. You couldn’t be more wrong.
@@SonnyGTANope. Johnson ain’t wrote a lyric for a song for the band in over 30 years.
What I wrote was the truth…it might hurt some but still the truth.

Love the way you feel the rhythm. Awesome
Bon Scott was once described as a gutter poet and I think that’s perfect.
Bon Scott was a pure genius. Seen ac/dc 5 times but would give it all back to see ac/dc with bon just once
Been listening since 1974 - first heard them when I lived in Europe - never looked back, nothing compares.
I'll tell you what now. It's brother. Here's brother here. I can smoke a big blonde a blue bud with him
"I know I ain´t doin´ much. Doin´ nothing means a lot to me". He nailed it there. I live like that. Doin´ Nothing is very important for my mental health. I view doin´ Nothing as an active act and do save days for that.
BonScott was a chauffer in Adelaide and he was driving Suzi Quatro around that is what that refers to in this masterpiece.
No one reactor makes me laugh like you do, Biz. You're obviously enjoying your journey, and we're going along for the ride!
Oh wow, im honored fam 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Best Album AC/DC ever made.....
"POWERAGE"
I play it over and over and over............. and over........... 😮
It is my gym-workout album... :D
Brilliant song, one of my favourites off probably AC/DS's best album. It's interesting you mention the hip hop connection thing. I've always felt the same about Bon Scott era AC/DC. He was a lyrical genius and they are hard edged and delivered with genuine street swagger.
Powerage has a feel like nothing else, put on the headphones & close your eyes. It's worth it. -Especially this song.
I've loved these boys since 1977. They are far and away my favorite band in the world and Powerage is my favorite album. Greatest rock and roll album ever.
Powerage is my favorite album from them! At least in the bon Scott era. Angus and Malcolm showing their true talents in the album with Phil rudd playing drums at his best. Bon Scott’s lyrics are just pure genius and powerful at the same time. Just an outstanding album!
Way better than any Brian album imo
Love the natural reaction to the awesome sounds. That's what it's all about.
My favorite Bon Scott performance right here. His last “AND I’M WAY OVERDUE!!!!!!” is my favorite part.
Man, not sure how I missed this one in my feed for almost two weeks! Favorite AC/DC track of all time. Great analysis!
Yes AC/DC's lyrics represent the common man for sure. Very relatable as you said, fratello.
But modern feminism runs wild about it. That is even more a point to listen to it. In their faces :D
One of my all time favorites songs by AC DC
His lyrics were always telling stories... awesome
Aint that just a humbling life rockin tune,, lyrically spectacular, They were at the time untouchable with Riffs, these songs still stand so high even in 2022 Rock on 🤘
I just love the emotion that Bon put into his singing. I really f-ing believe him!
There lyrics always hit the spot....
The music in Australia is called pub rock....
Easy to rock out to and easy to drink to....
Love Bon Scott era ACDC
Best AC DC reaction you can find, for so many reaons. Nailed it.
Thank you

Ok I should have waited… you just explained that song better than ANYONE IVE EVER HEARD!! And I grew up with them in the 80s!! Dude yes I FEEL YA!!
YOU ARE MY NEW HERO!! Just wanted to let you know that. Chris Stone, Billings Montana!!
i love that youre doing a song by song on all the albums. Powerage is regarded by many long time fans as their favorite. Mine too. Bon was a lyrical genius. Who else could write a song about playing poker, but it's really about a woman giving him a venereal disease.
Bon always had a knack for telling a story
So happy to watch your reactions!! You didn't fall into the TH-cam trap of only reacting to Live at River Plate.

Brother!! This has been gospel to me since I was 14 years old! Much love and respect! Never expected to see this in the algorithm
SOLID review! Bon is FEELIN’ this shit! And so are you!
ALLLLL RIGHT MY MAN!! I found it!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Ok now I’m gonna check it out. Still hoping you did RIDE ON!! Catching up up up my brother. Just saw GO DOWN!!

This came out the year I was born! My favorite song
AC/DC on top of their game. Their best album. Bon was the heart and soul of that band.
I friggin' love this song and I can so relate. Have experienced a few of those scenarios myself and Bon really sells it. He has probably been there as well. Thanks Biz!
I love that you did this song. Powerage is a classic album.
Love your reaction to the great Bon Scott. He was a great lyricist.
OK I STOPPED WHEN YOU DID JUST TO ADD THIS COMMENT. I just fell in love with you!!! I LOVE THIS SONG. AND JUST FROM YOUR REACTION… so far… YOU DO TOO. I love you man!! And I’m so confident in my male sexuality to say that to another man!!
ACDC is the blues for people that still want to have a party
They float like a butterfly and sting like a bee no one gets the job done better than AC/DC
No Ballad Here. Straight up BANGER!
You said it exactly right! Powerage, just like outage. It didn't hurt! I hit it! Biz, you gotta see some of their videos that shows them having fun on the streets when they were young and rockin! It's great stuff and it will make you laugh your ass off! I'll find it. I'm sure I saved it all somewhere.
Perfection. Always loved this track, the album is the absolute best of AC/DC. CLASS. 😊👍👍
They were so blues based and awesome lyrics from Scott. Been my favorite album since late 70s when I discovered it
The guys in AC/DC were huge fans of blues and early rockn'roll ( e.g. Chuck Berry, Little Richard), the lyric content of which deals with the African American experience, and just the "street experience" in general.

"The Track".... so happy you liked it ... thumbs up
Thanks for reaction bro!!! The best song from the best AC/DC album🤟
God I love Powerage album so much, just heavy rock blues.
Great reaction, subbed.
Definitely my favorite AC-DC song great album all the songs you mentioned also favorites. Good taste. You are now a true Rocker welcome.
Thanks for reacting to this. It’s been a long time since I have seen someone else rock with this song like I did back in 19??.
(I never took AC/DC seriously until I heard this song).
Liking, subscribing, and following, now!
What i absolutely love about this track is the subtle change to higher tempo in the last verse to symbolise that he’s made it and living a better life in a his sailing boat but still living beyond his means, now he can’t afford gasoline for his boat.
FYI this is the first album with Cliff Williams on bass and he really knocks or out the park on this album.
It was a Cadillac not a boat
@@anthonydouglas477 the last verse is “got my self a sailing boat, boat I can’t afford the gasoline.

Love this BizMatic thank you for keeping it real. Blues and Rock that's it.
I've never heard anything definitive about the pronuciation of "Powerage", and I've been a 42 yr fan of the band. Most people, including me, pronounce it the way you do, Biz. Go with it. BTW, thanks for devoting so many reactions to ACDC. They are obviously worthy but no reactionists out there do what u do in terms of delving into their body of work. You ROCK, sir.
This is the correct way to say it.
The poster you show is with Brian Johnson on vocals, but what you played was Bon Scott on vocals... 😉
Bon Scott and AC/DC hadn’t had their big break yet and were known as the “working man’s band” in Australia and elsewhere, they put in all the hard work but hadn’t gotten the big payday or success yet until highway to hell and back in black, which Bon Scott only got to see a little of because he died during the back in black sessions. They really became millionaires off back in black. They were all geniuses, and this was before they had even made it!!!
BizMatik, you know that Bon Scott has the best lyrics ever written for AC/DC, and he was the BEST vocalist and frontman to ever perform in an Australian band. OMG, Bon was the frickin greatest of all time man… 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏👏
Agreed. This song should continue into a second part, the end is the perfect transition
This is life and big boy AC/DC ..let’s goo🖤
I’m happy you like AC/DC. Yes they started out very poor. They work hard and never give up. Did you hear the other song. It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll. Peace out brother.
Right on time! Oh you picked a good one 😃
Awesome videos great commentary cheers
I always have to crank up the big house speakers to get the full effect of these guys 🤘
Off their greatest album. Its so good track to track.
I FUCKING LOVE the OUTRO of this song .....funny thing i had this album at 13 .... always chencged song after solo .... i discoverd the outros af acdc songs years later .....hahahahah
I did see these guys in concert twice around 1982 😮
If you haven't done it... You gotta do "Whole Lotta Rossie". My dad grew up with this, and when I showed him my new sound system, this is what he wanted to hear. Its so good man. I have this rockin my truck on a regular basis. Please give this one a shot.
42 39 56 you could say she had it allllllll!!!
Smart dad.
It sounds nice to finally hear someone pronounce Powerage right
First time hearing Down Payment Blues. Bond was brilliant!!! Like the review too!
This is their best album in my opinion it was hard to find back in the seventies, but I did find it and still have it, The engineers of this band are Angus and Malcolm Young
For me Powerage was my favorite album. Down payment blues and Gone Shooting are my fav songs
My fave ACDC tune. Well reacted sir.
I love you like this……..welcome to the 70’s -80’s
Oh!
(Notice onna rewatch) powerage..... one word. How you do is perfect 😊
One of my favorite songs. When this came out it was on 8 track so I missed this song for months because I was stuck on other songs.
A bit of an AC/DC history lesson here; In the UK in the 1950s the Australian government allowed poor families to get cheap, one way tickets down under so they could start a new, hopefully better, life. Both the Youngs and Bon Scott's families took up this offer. So, when Bon writes and sings about being poor he knows what he's talking about. He had experience of poverty long before he was a struggling musician.
