The one thing that Brian Johnson said that always stuck out to me was, he was never a replacement singer for bon Scott he was there because bon wasn't... Love it
Remember that interview where he told about his first gig with the band? Signs in the audience that said 'Rest In Peace, Bon'. Gave him some anxiety, until he saw one that said 'Good Luck, Brian' Indeed never replaced Bon, just took over where he left off and kept his work & memory alive to this day!
Brian always reminds me of someone who can't quite believe his luck to be where he is now. I grew up less than 3 miles from where he did in Gateshead. I can only imagine the gratitude a guy from Dunston feels for having lived the life he's had so far -it really shows when you hear him talk.
@@vernmaas3609 totally different type drummer. Slade is technically proficient. Rudd no so technical but more just garage-band straight forward basic groove and he makes it swing. Slade can swing as well but it's more sterile.
This is heaven of rock and Rhythm ´n Blues! When I was a young lad we listened to all the stuff, but never knew how fucking good it was. Angus and Malcolm are superb, doesn´t matter who is the lead singer! Bon or Brian...the song ist good!
I agree with you buddy! I’ll remember this performance they did with VH1 live in studio back in ‘96 and had never heard that song before I was blown away! They just sound amazing live and is one of kind band! Great song and love the jam !
This is what it's all about right here , these guys deliver ever single song. No autotune , no backing tracks , no hidden musicians playing , no messing about , just talent and tunes.
In my opinion, this album - Powerage - is their most underrated album. It's every bit as good as Highway to Hell and has stood the test of time very well. This song is one of my all-time favorite songs. So bluesy with a hard, jagged edge. This version kills and Brian does a great job filling in for The Man. Great memories of my youth right here.
For me it's definitely Flick of the switch having 10 awesome songs who always been underrated and rarely played except during the promoting 1983 year then we still hear Sin City or Rock'n'Roll Damnation or Riff Raff in their last concerts
Unlike alot of current acts you could stick AC/DC in the corner of a pub with some combo's and a small PA and they could still blow you away. The greatest band on the planet.
There was a time I found him a bit boring. I liked Simon and Chris, but as I got older, I came to appreciate just what it is Phil Rudd actually does and it seems very simple yet is also very difficult to replicate accurately.
Scott Walker Whenever I hear or see someone lamenting over a guy who's been dead and replaced for nearly 37 years now btw, it makes me recall James Earl Jones chasing Kevin Costner out of his house in Field Of Dreams, " GO Back, BACK to the 60's!!!" Same goes for you imo. But of course in your case it's 'Go back, BACK to the 70s!!!!'
That infectious groove while waiting on Brian to get mic'd up, tooling around with the rhythm and at the beginning when the drums jump in with the bass...like one of the comments earlier mentioned.. you can put these boys in a corner of any pub and they'll lift the roof. You can feel the groove as soon as they began with the notes. awesome.
ACDC blew the Stones off the stage at the concert in Toronto for SARS . . funny thing . . Stones asked the boys to open up for them on a tour and they apparently said WHY ?? We sell and draw as much if not more . . Bugger off . . lol
Back in the day there was no big video screens no laser light shows just in your face rock and roll just like it's presented here🎙🎸🔊🤘 RIP Malcolm and Bon✌
That solo is the perfect fit for the groove of this song. Many can play it but few can write it - that's the difference between musicians and guitar players. Genius.
They really need to play this song live because it's the definition of blues rock. Favourite song on the Powerage album. Just an awesome drum line and bass that you want to head bang to.
damn I love how they did the stage with minimum lightning, those flashes at 2:00 are amazing and Brian absolutely killed this song. Great performance I love how he's enjoying the track, bouncing around and grooving haha BRIAN LEGEND
That's why Brian is now retired. His technique is killer on the vocal chords, and his are shredded. Lasted almost 40 years though, that's impressive. Never thought he would.
:16 Malcolm's tone is so iconic. Gives me chills when you get to hear his guitar all by itself. Listening to him hammer out the beginning of Jailbreak live is enough to make your day.
Great version. Brian killed this. Fantastic version. He did a great job in my opinion. and you're right ... not many lead singers, if any, could step up after a tragedy like that with one of the best lead singers in any rock band, and keep it going. Brian did. And he didn't have to imitate Bon's style; he's got his own.
when Angus picks back in at 5:04 holy shit. i get goosebumps every time. so rich, bluesy. so "right". so much soul. & the following solo, this is a great clip.
Saw them a couple of times and what really seperate them is the timing and feel. They are such a tight playing band and that is what drives their sound especially live where so many band just can’t sound like the album. AC DC sounds even better live.
I wish they would have played the slow and mid tempo songs like this live more often... What's Next to the Moon, Night Prowler, Ride On, Love Hungry Man... and yeah, Gone Shootin'. AC/DC is more dynamic and have more variety then they are given credit for.
Powerage will always be one of my favorite albums,and this song,dang!! Love these guys,miss bon, but great job Brian!!!!! R.i.p. Malcom, R.I.P. BON, AC⚡DC will never be matched for what they brought to the musical table! ROCK ON ANGUS!!!!
People bagging in Brian. If you understood anything about vocal ranges, you would know that Brian is a baritone (lower range) and bon is a tenor (higher range). The fact that Brian took over for bon is quite impressive if you ask me, because that man put a LOT of effort into it. They're both Badass vocalists with a great sound and I couldn't pick one over the other.
This is the best example of why phil rudd is just the perfect drummer for AC/DC, IMO. Here you can listen so well to his using of charleston and his UNIQUE particular groove. I don't expect much people understand this, but I think that if you listen now to chris slade (which is a really good drummer for me) you can notice the difference. Drumming for AC/DC doesn't need strenght or speed, needs groove.
Chris Slade didn't save anything you are tripping.. the razors edge tour had plenty of hit and miss shows slades lack of groove and always pushing the tempo didn't work, this last tour his playing was horrendous

Agreed 💯
AC/DC has been blessed with two of the greatest frontmen in rock history.
Anyone who says Phil Rudd is just a basic drummer don’t know what they’re talking about. That is GROOVE, people. Wow
Spot on my friend!!!!
Yupp!
I think slade was just as good

@@vernmaas3609 what songs did he do??? I’m uneducated.✌️
Phil Rudd is one hell of a drummer... he carries the whole song with his incredible swing...
Acdc rocks
Exactly! It's that word 'swing'. If you watch his arms he almost dances the beat.
Hell yes!
He's so simple but I could watch him for hours and and admire that swing!
Yep 🇦🇺✌️
Probably one of the coolest recordings they have. That intro is EVERYTHING
Reminds me of Beavis and Butthead Do America when they hopped on the bus and Gone Shootin starts
Yeah probably
Angus you're one B.M.F !
We sure miss you Malcom...
This is heaven of rock and Rhythm ´n Blues! When I was a young lad we listened to all the stuff, but never knew how fucking good it was. Angus and Malcolm are superb, doesn´t matter who is the lead singer! Bon or Brian...the song ist good!
Totally agree. Love this song.
Best ACDC song ever. Phil Rudd's drumming, is so powerful, and he doesn't even look like he's trying hard.
that's exactly why it's working so good, because he isn't trying hard, just what comes natural.
It's the same beat for every song 🤣 and I'm fine with that but it is what it is. That's acdc

Powerage, Let there be rock, Highway to hell... their peak
This riff is a totally addictive, wonderful!
@Stouffer It's AC/DC mate. RIP MAL AND BON 👊👊💙💙
It is so rhythm and bluesy
every acdc song is addictive...............
@Stouffer it's just Blues based. That's why.
Isn't it though!
Unlike alot of current acts you could stick AC/DC in the corner of a pub with some combo's and a small PA and they could still blow you away. The greatest band on the planet.
fuckin eh
So true !!! Massive venues, small clubs , they're just brilliant !
Amen 🙏
Wow Man my sentiment exactly ....Well Said Sir...
Yes my good man, your foot would always be banging on the floor
I could listen to AC/DC play one single chord for about 10 hours straight, and not get bored. Just sensational.
I can name that AC/DC song in 1 cord.
i can play that riff all night on guitar...the best track of theirs in my book.
ARE YOU A DIE HARD FAN ❤?
It's how they play that 1 chord is why they're so unique. Any band can play it, but can't play it like AC/DC.
2020 now, man this never gets old
Keep on rocking in the quarantined world
Like good old red wine
So true!
No, it sure doesn’t! True icons of rock that’ll always be popular.
Never. Greatness never gets old. It gets Greater. AC/DC.
This is what real music sounds like
Hell Yeah
Sure does.
Not like KISS who have to lip sync these days
Jammin to this tomorrow.
Rock on people ✊
Yes, the music part
That Phil Rudd glides as smooth as a freight train .... he will forever be unmatched. Consistent simplicity.

@Aqeel Asif I've been watching AC/DC videos since 1988, there isn't an official one I haven't seen.

Well expressed my man!
This is fantastic, i miss this AC/DC era when they were playing rare songs like Dog Eat Dog, Gone Shootin, Girls Got Rhythm...
They very much went back-to-basics after The Razor’s Edge and stayed that way, smart move
AC/DC The best rock band in this world.
yes but a few old southern rock bands i still really like but rock ac dc all the way
Amen
And the next
Top ten for me for sure. Zep or The Who for me.
Even the best rock and roll band ;-)
You can literally see the rhythm flowing through Malcoms body. It looks so cool. So natural.
I love love love Phil’s drumming. Absolutely perfect.
yes!! always have.
YES!
He's my biggest influence ever.He makes the difference. Compare with other Ac/Dc drummers.
@@BeardedLad89 Simon is pretty great too
Phil is the perfect fit for AC/DC....no disrespect to the orher drummers...but Phil stands out as the best.
Even the stones can’t deny how great these guys are!
ACDC blew the Stones off the stage at the concert in Toronto for SARS . . funny thing . . Stones asked the boys to open up for them on a tour and they apparently said WHY ?? We sell and draw as much if not more . . Bugger off . . lol
AC DC best rock band ever. Plain and simple.
The minute and a half warm up they played is better than 90% of the bullshit they play on the radio now
More like 99.99%
EXACTLY!! Name one "band" anyone will remember 20 years from now. I'll wait.
Back in the day there was no big video screens no laser light shows just in your face rock and roll just like it's presented here🎙🎸🔊🤘 RIP Malcolm and Bon✌
To this day there is no rhythm section like this it’s perfection
And the whole band just had it
Love for ever
This must have been one of Malcolm's favorite riffs, he really lays into it.
Just hearing them warm up would blow other bands away!
So raw, the best!
Love the beginning Malcolm and Angus guitar riffs. Malcolm is sadly missed. Rockin in heaven.
A groove worthy of The Rolling Stones. So much feel. Rudd is a metronome with a heart and Malcolm's right hand should be bottled.
Absolutely Awesome!
No doubt!! All your remarks are spot on!!!
Have always loved Phil Rudd’s style but Cliff Williams fits him like a glove too
I can't think of two other guitar parts that work this great together - this song is killer.
These guys blow the Stones away man, not even close
That solo is the perfect fit for the groove of this song. Many can play it but few can write it - that's the difference between musicians and guitar players. Genius.
perfect song for a long drive
Journey 😊
I could play the start of this song a million times
Malcolm was the best rhythm guitar in the rock and roll world. He is missed. Saw many bands in my youth but I missed seeing them and I regret it.
AC/DC is an unstoppable force
malcolm's tone... incredible, just wow
They really need to play this song live because it's the definition of blues rock. Favourite song on the Powerage album. Just an awesome drum line and bass that you want to head bang to.
This whole VH1 concert needs to be an album!
Agree

@@ArleneVonAllemann-ck4fnsame here, I prefer Brian over bon but that's not to say he's better just different styles and vocals!

Agree

Try the version of this song in 1977.
You can find it on TH-cam
A fantastic groove, among the best AC/DC songs
You are fking right. I think this is Bons Back in Black
can't believe this was 20 freaking years ago!
+Simon Coles ikr? Crazy
Love the intro, and the song. Powerage a killer album.
Incredible groove. AC DC are incredible. Nobody does it like this.
I know this is one of Bon's greatest songs - but i just love this version so much as well. What a freaking groove!!!
It bugs me that Brien would even attempt it Saint.
Best band of all time.Saw them first time 84,monsters of rock in Stockholm.
don't know how Brian could do a whole song with out losing his voice, he put a lot of him self in every word, what a band
Si...condivido è incredibile...è sempre eccezzionale
That's why Brian is now retired. His technique is killer on the vocal chords, and his are shredded. Lasted almost 40 years though, that's impressive. Never thought he would.
Best Rhythm guitar award goes to Malcolm Young
Even though they're only playing to a few cameras and a production crew, they still kick ass.
Best Band in this World - The Soundtrack of my Life :-)
Thank christ for ac dc 😊😊😊
Without them life just wouldn't be living 😭😭😭
When I hear this gorgeous tune I feel good to be alive 😻❤️😻
Why is this song never on radio? Top 10 rockers ever.
:16 Malcolm's tone is so iconic. Gives me chills when you get to hear his guitar all by itself. Listening to him hammer out the beginning of Jailbreak live is enough to make your day.
Great artists all have their own signature. AC/DC's certainly got that.
I can’t even put into words my passion for this band man
Love this one, the last minute is pure AC/DC...Best rock and roll band ever and its not even close...
I always said if you weren't rocking by then, you weren't doing it right Haha!
Powerage is still the greatest AC/DC album ever.
Amen to that. It cant be equalled. A hidden gem for so long, people are finally realising that it is the essence of rock n roll.
I agree! It took me some time to realize but after listening to all of their stuff i can indeed say that Powerage is their best album.
Can confirm. Track for track their other albums are awesome, but just can’t top it.
YES!
Agree.Bon was on his gsme !!
I love how they play a little bit making sure the sound is right, take a quick pause, then JAM!!!
This is AC/DC at their best! Awesome song!
A band at the top of its game. Just beautiful. Wow
1:32 the most addictive riff you will ever hear
Hands down the greatest pure rock and roll bad FUCKING ever

Jake Cox Angus has incredible soul in them fingers man. Aint nobody like him hes a true origina.l
Gotta love the octave lick he does at 0:54 , simple but so damn tasty :) would be nothing without Malcolm's great playing tough ^^
A couple of giant locomotives headin down the track . Heavy duty swing , swagger and groove . There ain't no better !! Thanks fellas .

Both are super badasses. They both could lead any rock group to super stardom, no doubt.
