Been to his burial plot many times in Fremantle cemetery, I was there when they erected a statue of him. He passed on the day I was born 100yrs after Next Kelly was hanged. Staying out of prison is difficult for me, but Such is Life.
No disrespect to Brian, he probably came closer than anyone else could have done to try to fill Bon Scott's shoes. But Bon was hands down the best vocalist the band could ever have had, and the best front man in the business! Whole Lotta Rosie and Walk All Over You are epic tracks.
@THEZOOROCKSCOM He does indeed sound a lot like Bon...I like Krokus" he's a good singer.. but'' Bon was the ultimate front man, entertainer, and performer. If you didn't see hi live..you really missed a bloody excellent show..they never"" disappoint!! RIP" ..Bon..X
Props to drummer Phil Rudd...the most underrated drummer in rock! He's a human metronome. Though this may sound like a simple beat but it's one of the hardest to play live. When then play it live it last over 10 minutes with that drum beat the whole way through...no ear plugs, no click track...just impeccable timing with swing.
Agree. There is a full analysis video of Phil's drumming by Andi Rohde thats almost an hour long. He has a technique that no one can really replicate perfectly that goes for all of his songs as a drummer with AC/DC
They simply never disappoint. A band that knew what it's strengths were and pushed those buttons perfectly every time. And a secret weapon during the Bon years. A tongue in cheek sense of humor.
I still refer to Brian Johnson as "the new guy" 44 years later. Bon Scott will always be my personal favorite front man of AC/DC. So many great songs. Down Payment Blues Riff Raff Hell Ain't a Bad Place To Be The Jack Dirty Deeds Overdose Dog Eat Dog Jailbreak Nightprowler Walk All Over You. More Bon Scott please.
Yes, agreed. Brian’s vocal tone quality suits the AC/DC sound pretty well, but you can see the effort he is having to make which may be why the pace of their late material is slower, to allow him to get the sound out there. His voice works best behind a barrage of bass & lead guitar. Bon’s vocals are more effortless, it seems to flow more naturally, he has the wider vocal range and is note-perfect at any pace. His vocals can stand alone and often alternate with Angus’s riffs & solos. Also important is stage presence, Bon Scott had it in spades, he looked the part & had all the moves and the intensity. If I hadn’t grown up in his era I might be less spoiled, but the flat cap pulled down low over the eyes and the drunken staggering never quite measured up for me.
Angus Young's biggest influence was Chuck Berry,Any time Angus skips across the stage,that's his tribute to Chuck Berry's "duck walk" Angus also credits his sister for encouraging him to don the schoolboy blazer, coat, cap, and tie when he hit the stage:
It's always amazed me that Chuck Berry is Angus' idol. I mean, sure, there's a LOT of Berry-style licks in Angus' playing, but they're delivered so completely unlike anything Chuck ever played. Far more heavy and brutal. Like, where did the heaviness come from?
The name AC/DC came from their sister's sewing machine, it used batteries or plug in power. She also made his school uniforms for ths stage after his real one was no good anymore. He only started gigging in it after school, at age 16. His big bro, said he was gonna be good, when the band was looking for another guitarist, so he started young.
it doesn't amaze me at all. it's all there to hear and see, only harder, faster, heavier, metallic-grinding, it's chuck berry if berry played in a hard/heavy 70's band, the swing and sheer pentatonic joy are there, taken to the cube. it would make people stare in disbelief in the 50's, just like in back to the future, but it's the logical conclusion of teenage rebellion and fun in a transfigurated berry style. the last part of the last solo? that's orgasm, the fun for the sake of fun for the sake of fun taken to the extremities of what mind, hand and guitar are able to to do when driven to the limit. make no mistake, THIS IS CHUCK BERRY IN TRANCE AND ENTROPY. god bless you. or not.
I feel like 4:50 is a homage to Chuck Berry and the Southern accent when Bon sings "You can hear the fingers pickn" was a bit of a general nod to the American South and the birth of Rock n Roll
Saw them so many times in Melbourne Australia as teenager in the mid 70’s with the one and only Bon Scott. They were amazing even then, and blew out teenage brains and ears. He had so much charisma and stage presence, and will always be their frontman to me. I have never wanted to see them without him. We saw the best!!
Angus and Malcolm were brilliant in this.Their older brother George played in a band called the Easy beats and went on to write a lot of songs with a partner whose surname was Vanda.
My first ever gig was AC/DC with Bon in 1978. Bon had charisma in spades, so much so that although the stuff with Brian is often epic, I find the tunes with Bon more entertaining and interesting. RIP.
@kengunter6093 if you haven’t seen it check out Tommy and Phil Emmanuel’s guitar medley from their Paris show in 2001, Riff Raff appears in that not everyone picks up on it. Two of the best guitarists Australia has ever known. It’s also incredibly entertaining the tricks they do!! ❤
@Dr_KAP If it doesn't have BS on vocals I'm not interested. Nothing against BJ but the songs just not the same.BS was a lyrical genius with his play on words!!
@@kengunter6903 oh lol I’m guessing you don’t know who Tommy Emmanuel is. They don’t sing. Tommy Emmanuel is known as one of the best guitarists in history. It’s a guitar medley. If you’re not interested that’s fine lol. Someone else might see this and be interested.
THIS was the moment when rock reached its ultimate form. Before this song, AC/DC underwent numerous changes, with Angus describing it as a journey to capture the true essence of what it FEELS like when a song really rocks (one of the reasons he is so physical in his play, is that he lets his emotions guide him). When they wrote and played this track, they knew they had found it. The lyrics that were then written to the music say it all: 'Let There Be Rock.' Some people criticize AC/DC for sounding the same after five decades, but they’ve perfected a sound that resonates with one of the most primal human emotions. Why deviate from the quintessence of rock?
Long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll... Early ACDC on the back of a truck driving through the Melbourne CBD featuring bon Scott on the bag pipes.
I remember it well . On the truck going down Swanston street passed the Melbourne town hall, along with many other places. * February 23, 1976, and Melbourne is witness to the birth of a legend. A little upcoming band from Sydney was in town to film a promo video for a TV show called Countdown.
More Bon Scott! "Whole Lotta Rosie," "Riff Raff," "Down Payment Blues," "Sin City," "High Voltage," "Dog Eat Dog," "Kicked in the Teeth," "Touch Too Much," "Ain't No Fun Waiting Round to be a Millionaire." The list goes on and on.
the duck walk he got from Chuck Berry one of his greatest idols. when bon jumped over the whole band he actually broke his leg. cheers from Australia 😎
Bon had a charisma that was undeniable and irreplaceable. I'm lucky to have seen him in person with the band. Hard to see him and remember that he's gone, yet somehow I'm still here. Good reaction guys, well done and very thoughtful.
Seem them multiple times live. This is my fav track they do at shows. The solo goes offffff. Thanks for reacting to one of my most loved songs of all time.
There is stuff on TH-cam where Bon Scott is singing bubblegum with the Valentines looking like the proverbial third wheel .You could see him thinking "It’s a long way to the top if you want to Rock ‘n Roll”
AC/DC actually had THREE lead singers - Dave Evans (left in November 1974, after the first single - "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl?".) then Ronald 'Bon' Scott (1974 - 80) then Brian Johnson (1980 - ) and, in 2016, Axl Rose (of 'Guns 'N Roses) was brought in as a temporary singer to complete that year's tour dates. Also, on their first television appearance (I think it was Countdown, in Australia) Bon Scott sported a blue gingham dress!! This was before they settled on their 'usual' outfits!
I was lucky enough to have grown up in seventies Australia. Saw them play a number of times. I am sorry to say. For me, the band AC/DC we're ended when Bonn passed away.
Great guys now check out them doing this live at The Apollo Theater Glasgow in 1978 incredible performance and dont make the same mistake a couple of other reviewers made cutting it off when Angus climbs up on the speakers for his solo and afterwards his unbelievable finishing act holy crap. A must see!!!
This is such a jam! Bon was also and awesome, charismatic and animated front man! It would've been interesting to see what the band would've been like if he'd stayed alive.
Nobody enjoyed being a front man more the Bon Scott. Never took it too seriously. Never stopped smiling. Died 1980. He was seriously missed. ☝️😎 Brian Johnson had big shoes to fill
I went to this Tour of Let there Be Rock in Johnson City Tenn! In 1978 or 79. Bon Scott was There (Orginal) ge carried Angus around the Concert Hall including the 2nd Level, Angus was on Bon's Shoulders! I was 1 ft or 2 from them as they Passed us
My cousin introduced me to this around 76/77 when imports started to get to England from Australia and I've loved them ever since, used to have this video on VHS back in the day, My favourite track is Gone Shooting off Powerage and personally I'd always go Bon Scott but don't get me wrong I think Brian did an amazing job. Great reaction
Bon Scott A Frontman’s Frontman What an Absolutely Amazing Rock & Roll Character. What a Song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Rock & Roll Preacher taking us to Rock & Roll Church Alter Boy Angel Angus
Bon broke his ankle jumping off the cabinet while filming this clip.That’s why the last solo is footage off them in the studio. Filmed at a church in Surrey hills Sydney.
I saw the Let There Be Rock concert at the Capital Center in Maryland in December 1977, the first time I had seen them. They were so loud that my ears rang for weeks. It was about 10 years before I saw them again, but a little deafness is worth an AC/DC concert.
I have had the pleasure to see my favorite band 16 times in concert going back to 1975, cool thing they make over 50 million in royalties from movies, sports etc using their music,, Best Rock band ever !!!!!! when you see them you get your moneys worth and then some,,
Just saw them in Italy and Spain and 50 years later they still rock. Angus did a 15 guitar solo (both shows) for this song and it was the absolute best part of the show. Fucking brought the house down.
The one legged hop, is actually Chuck Berry's "Duck walk", Angus is doing his homage to a hero. AND ACDC had 3 singers. Brian Johnson 1980-present, Bon Scott from 1974- 1980, and DAVE EVANS in 1973.
Hi Guys, This was released in 1977,Angus Young was only 22 years old in this video, The band are currently on their Power Up Tour of Europe at the moment, Current lead singer Brian Johnson is now 76 years old, Lead guitarist Angus Young is now 69 and still duck walking 😄😄🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
Live at the Apollo 1978 is an amazing version. The 1979 album of the concert is "If You Want Blood" and was the 1st album I bought as an 8 year old kid.
This is my music, I was 14 and a kid growing up in Sydney's west when this was new. I was lucky to see ACDC in my life several times. Us guys were listening to this and other rock bands such as Midnight Oil, The Angels, The Radiators, (check out those bands as well guys) at the time I think the most of the girls were listening to either Abba or The Bay City Rollers at about this time.
Graduated in 76 amidst pure music madness. Had the psychedelic 60's with the heavy rockers. Had some American answers to the British invasion Like Aerosmith and Ted Nugent among others. Progressive music like Emerson Lake and Palmer was becoming more popular and then out of nowhere my circle learns of AC-DC. These guys were tearing it up down under and we were so lucky they were discovered. I'm a huge Bon Scott fan, because of the attitude he brought to the songs. Brian is what the band needed to reach the next level though.
When they were recording let there be rock for the album they used the 3rd take of the song As they were finishing the last guitar solo to finish the song the amplifiers started smoking they were playing so hard
You NEED to see the live version of this at the Apollo theater Glasgow in 1978, it will blow you away, especially with Angus going absolutely bonkers! (Mad in Aussie parlance)
This group is definitely one of the best of all time. I was first introduced to them, by new friends at a new school, who vastly broadened my 13 or 14 year old mind, music wise. I remember being told that Angus, at at least one concert, performed a solo for several minutes, while being carried on someone else's shoulders. (possibly one of the stage bouncers) Even if that is not true, you cannot say you can't seem him doing it. I hope you do tons more of the early stuff. I love the later stuff, but I think they had a bigger blues influence early on, and I think it's even more primal than some of the later stuff. Problem Child, The Jack, Big Balls, Dirty Deeds, Ride On. You may have done 1 or more of those already but any you have not done, I think youw ill totally love. Great channel.
I saw AC/DC🔥 on the Back in Black tour!🤗 They were phenomenal!💯 Between 1970-'85 I went to well over 100 concerts but AC/DC is in my top 3 best shows I've ever seen! My top 2 are LED ZEPPELIN (1970) and PINK FLOYD 1972.🤯😁❤️✌️
One of AC/DC's inspirations was Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs. The loudest band in Australia. 'Mama' performed live in 1971, on the TV show GTK is amazing.
![INFIGHTING | FIRST TIME HEARING Megadeth "Symphony Of Destruction" [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
Bon actually broke his ankle when he jumped off the pulpit.
I wondered about that, when he disappeared from camera-shot for the landing and it suddenly skipped to him back in the pulpit wearing all the regalia!
I remember that!! I was like: DANG!!!
I bet he didn't feel a thing lol
Karma
Broke his ankle, but still finished the video.
love AC/DC ... but AC/DC with bon was a completely different animal
Been to his burial plot many times in Fremantle cemetery, I was there when they erected a statue of him. He passed on the day I was born 100yrs after Next Kelly was hanged. Staying out of prison is difficult for me, but Such is Life.
Yeah... love Brian but u definitely got something different with BON S. 🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽
Hell Yeah!!!!! Rock n Roll!!!! AC / DC!!!! Raiders,!!! Rock n Roll!!!!!!! Cali4nia!!!!!!!!!
For me, he was the most unique voice rock n roll ever had.
@@MrSplat1972 Raiders!! Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to how solid that drummer is!
No disrespect to Brian, he probably came closer than anyone else could have done to try to fill Bon Scott's shoes. But Bon was hands down the best vocalist the band could ever have had, and the best front man in the business! Whole Lotta Rosie and Walk All Over You are epic tracks.
@THEZOOROCKSCOM He does indeed sound a lot like Bon...I like Krokus" he's a good singer..
but'' Bon was the ultimate front man, entertainer, and performer. If you didn't see hi live..you
really missed a bloody excellent show..they never"" disappoint!! RIP" ..Bon..X
I feel blessed to have both of them. All good. Gone Shootin'...
I agree!
You have so many hits to enjoy there's very few misses
AC/DC proves that music doesn't have to be difficult or sophisticated to be fun and enjoyable. One of the best rock bands ever!
Who would have thought something I listened to as teenager that almost 50 years later is still being played
And that we're still here to hear & see it hey!😯 😁🤘✌️
Props to drummer Phil Rudd...the most underrated drummer in rock! He's a human metronome. Though this may sound like a simple beat but it's one of the hardest to play live. When then play it live it last over 10 minutes with that drum beat the whole way through...no ear plugs, no click track...just impeccable timing with swing.
Underrated by who?
@@seanlowe4785 everybody shit talks Phil and Cliff on how they are limited in skill Compared to other musicians in the genre
Agree. There is a full analysis video of Phil's drumming by Andi Rohde thats almost an hour long. He has a technique that no one can really replicate perfectly that goes for all of his songs as a drummer with AC/DC
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock live at The Apollo Theater Glasgow in 1978 incredible performance..........
Angus at 23 years old was a fn animal. He knocked his own tooth out during a performance.
twice as good as this version
Завидую всеми цветами зависти которые есть на свете)))) ❤
I love the closeups of Bon with his devilish Smirks. What a character!
Let us not forget Malcolm Young, R.I.P. He is AC/DC. Best rhythm guitar player.
Absolutely
THe Bon Scott era is just SO much more fun. His lyrics are always hysterical and loaded with double entendres. keep 'em coming,guy! :-) T
Yhats right humar
They simply never disappoint. A band that knew what it's strengths were and pushed those buttons perfectly every time. And a secret weapon during the Bon years. A tongue in cheek sense of humor.
I still refer to Brian Johnson as "the new guy" 44 years later.
Bon Scott will always be my personal favorite front man of AC/DC.
So many great songs.

Я прожил пол жизни в ссср и ничего не видел. С трудом могли услышать то что вы слушали и видели. Бон это асдс ...умер Бон и для меня умерла асдс.
Angus and Malcolm were brilliant in this.Their older brother George played in a band called the Easy beats and went on to write a lot of songs with a partner whose surname was Vanda.
Bon Scott always had the cheekiest of smiles.
Also, Bon Scott proselytising RnR. Pure bliss! 🎉🎉🎉
My first ever gig was AC/DC with Bon in 1978. Bon had charisma in spades, so much so that although the stuff with Brian is often epic, I find the tunes with Bon more entertaining and interesting. RIP.
Bon actually broke his ankle leaping over the pulpit!!
and Angus knocked his tooth out
Angus's AMP caught fire during the recording. During his solo. It made it to the end of the song. What is more Rock n Roll than that!
RIFF RAFF live at the Apollo. Greatest performance by Angus. Such a Showman on the guitar!!!!
Seconded.

Angus my fav guitarist. That solo at the end is insane
He brought it to the max... 🥁🎸🔥🤘🏽
the thirdl and last solo is the voice of god. if god were a gigantic teenage bursting with adrenaline and joie de vivre.
This is my favorite AC/DC album, hands down. Great from front to back.
Best rhythm section ever. Even as a young fella Phill's drums were perfection.
RIP Bon Scott .... he was amazing on and off the stage.
Long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll... Early ACDC on the back of a truck driving through the Melbourne CBD featuring bon Scott on the bag pipes.
I remember it well . On the truck going down Swanston street passed the Melbourne town hall, along with many other places.
* February 23, 1976, and Melbourne is witness to the birth of a legend. A little upcoming band from Sydney was in town to film a promo video for a TV show called Countdown.
More Bon Scott! "Whole Lotta Rosie," "Riff Raff," "Down Payment Blues," "Sin City," "High Voltage," "Dog Eat Dog," "Kicked in the Teeth," "Touch Too Much," "Ain't No Fun Waiting Round to be a Millionaire." The list goes on and on.
*Jailbreak*
Visceral rock. You can't help but move!
🥁🎸🔥🤘🏽
The first AC/DC song l ever heard, mid to late 70s, still ❤ it.
the duck walk he got from Chuck Berry one of his greatest idols. when bon jumped over the whole band he actually broke his leg. cheers from Australia 😎
Bon had a charisma that was undeniable and irreplaceable. I'm lucky to have seen him in person with the band. Hard to see him and remember that he's gone, yet somehow I'm still here. Good reaction guys, well done and very thoughtful.
Loved this the first time I heard it way back in the seventies.
70s AC/DC was what MADE me get a guitar.
I got to see them in 1980 before bon Scott passed away. Was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen!
I still have most of the AC/DC on cassettes in storage. Definitely one of the all time greats.
Seem them multiple times live. This is my fav track they do at shows. The solo goes offffff. Thanks for reacting to one of my most loved songs of all time.
There is stuff on TH-cam where Bon Scott is singing bubblegum with the Valentines looking like the proverbial third wheel .You could see him thinking "It’s a long way to the top if you want to Rock ‘n Roll”
It’s such a crackup 😆 seeing Bon in the Valentines
RIP, Bon & Malcolm!! YOU are MISSED!
AC/DC actually had THREE lead singers - Dave Evans (left in November 1974, after the first single - "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl?".) then Ronald 'Bon' Scott (1974 - 80) then Brian Johnson (1980 - ) and, in 2016, Axl Rose (of 'Guns 'N Roses) was brought in as a temporary singer to complete that year's tour dates.
Also, on their first television appearance (I think it was Countdown, in Australia) Bon Scott sported a blue gingham dress!! This was before they settled on their 'usual' outfits!
The live version of this is amazing. Let there be Rock live at the Apollo theater
I was lucky enough to have grown up in seventies Australia. Saw them play a number of times. I am sorry to say. For me, the band AC/DC we're ended when Bonn passed away.
One of their best albums. This and Powerage IMO. Not a bad song on either.
Great guys now check out them doing this live at The Apollo Theater Glasgow in 1978 incredible performance and dont make the same mistake a couple of other reviewers made cutting it off when Angus climbs up on the speakers for his solo and afterwards his unbelievable finishing act holy crap. A must see!!!
My favorite AC/DC Bon Scott era song!
When I was a kid, I didn't appreciate Bon's mischievous smile. Big, big loss when he died so young.
This is such a jam! Bon was also and awesome, charismatic and animated front man! It would've been interesting to see what the band would've been like if he'd stayed alive.
The first singer was Dave Evans there is a video with him singing the song "Can I sit next you girl" very rare video
I remember watching that on Countdown 😊
Bon Scott's best vocal performance is highway to hell. If you haven't reacted to highway to hell song, highway to hell should be your next AC/DC song.
I don't think there are too many Australians who don't know of these legends. A live performance was an experience like no other I can assure you 🤩
I love Bon Scott! His facial expressions are great!
The AC/DC song that you two should definitely react to is "Big Balls"!!
Anything from the live album. If you want blood, you got it!!
Angus actually blew up his amp during the recording of this song. You can actually hear his amp overheating and the distortion becoming more strained.
Nobody enjoyed being a front man more the Bon Scott. Never took it too seriously.
Never stopped smiling.
Died 1980. He was seriously missed. ☝️😎
Brian Johnson had big shoes to fill
I went to this Tour of Let there Be Rock in Johnson City Tenn! In 1978 or 79.
Bon Scott was There (Orginal) ge carried Angus around the Concert Hall including the 2nd Level, Angus was on Bon's Shoulders! I was 1 ft or 2 from them as they Passed us
My cousin introduced me to this around 76/77 when imports started to get to England from Australia and I've loved them ever since, used to have this video on VHS back in the day, My favourite track is Gone Shooting off Powerage and personally I'd always go Bon Scott but don't get me wrong I think Brian did an amazing job. Great reaction
One of theire best Songs...saw them in River plate...Love AcDc...❤😊

This live with Bon is fire . Live at The Apollo.
Just saw them in Italy and Spain and 50 years later they still rock. Angus did a 15 guitar solo (both shows) for this song and it was the absolute best part of the show. Fucking brought the house down.

Perfect example of how the rythmn guitar can set up great lead players
I read somewhere that when Angus was playing that last solo that the old amp. caught on fire but they told him to keep playing.
They really are the Gods of Rock!
Check out "Touch to Much", one of their best with Bon
Great tune
I love the Bon era of AC/DC
Hi Guys, This was released in 1977,Angus Young was only 22 years old in this video, The band are currently on their Power Up Tour of Europe at the moment, Current lead singer Brian Johnson is now 76 years old, Lead guitarist Angus Young is now 69 and still duck walking 😄😄🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
The first song I heard from them was this song and never looked back 🤘
Live at the Apollo 1978 is an amazing version. The 1979 album of the concert is "If You Want Blood" and was the 1st album I bought as an 8 year old kid.
I just LOVE seeing these videos - my GOODNESS: they were ALL JUST BABIES!!! LOVE ME SOME ROCKIN' AC/DC!!! :) THANKS, YA'LL!! Made MY DAY!! HUGS!!!
This song is an unstoppable force!
A live version of this and a song called Riff Raff at the Apollo theater In 1978 is a must..... both will blow your mind ...lol
I loved being a teenager in the 70s
Yi from Perth Western Australia you guys have watched the best video if this song...sung and written by Bon Scott RIP
Their best song and video. Both are the epitome of naughty fun and it all rocks HARD!
This is my music, I was 14 and a kid growing up in Sydney's west when this was new. I was lucky to see ACDC in my life several times. Us guys were listening to this and other rock bands such as Midnight Oil, The Angels, The Radiators, (check out those bands as well guys) at the time I think the most of the girls were listening to either Abba or The Bay City Rollers at about this time.
My favorite of all their songs!
You gotta love the song writing too... rock masterpiece !
Certainly not boring!!!!!! Always great and very consistent.
Graduated in 76 amidst pure music madness. Had the psychedelic 60's with the heavy rockers. Had some American answers to the British invasion Like Aerosmith and Ted Nugent among others. Progressive music like Emerson Lake and Palmer was becoming more popular and then out of nowhere my circle learns of AC-DC. These guys were tearing it up down under and we were so lucky they were discovered. I'm a huge Bon Scott fan, because of the attitude he brought to the songs. Brian is what the band needed to reach the next level though.
When they were recording let there be rock for the album they used the 3rd take of the song
As they were finishing the last guitar solo to finish the song the amplifiers started smoking they were playing so hard
You NEED to see the live version of this at the Apollo theater Glasgow in 1978, it will blow you away, especially with Angus going absolutely bonkers! (Mad in Aussie parlance)
Bon & the boys doing "Jailbreak " is another great early hit song & video is pretty cool too
Love how they do this video with the song!!❤❤
This group is definitely one of the best of all time. I was first introduced to them, by new friends at a new school, who vastly broadened my 13 or 14 year old mind, music wise. I remember being told that Angus, at at least one concert, performed a solo for several minutes, while being carried on someone else's shoulders. (possibly one of the stage bouncers)
Even if that is not true, you cannot say you can't seem him doing it. I hope you do tons more of the early stuff. I love the later stuff, but I think they had a bigger blues influence early on, and I think it's even more primal than some of the later stuff. Problem Child, The Jack, Big Balls, Dirty Deeds, Ride On. You may have done 1 or more of those already but any you have not done, I think youw ill totally love.
Great channel.
Angus look like he’s around my age here he probably was and he’s been playing since he was fine years old i love all of it
Industrial strength rock'n'roll.
One of the best powerful energetic rock bands, my favorite in high school
I saw AC/DC🔥 on the Back in Black tour!🤗 They were phenomenal!💯 Between 1970-'85 I went to well over 100 concerts but AC/DC is in my top 3 best shows I've ever seen! My top 2 are LED ZEPPELIN (1970) and PINK FLOYD 1972.🤯😁❤️✌️
The world lost a lot when we lost Bon.
I remember carving his epitaph into my desk at school.
I wasn't the only one.
They were just having fun while kicking ass !!!
One of AC/DC's inspirations was Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs. The loudest band in Australia. 'Mama' performed live in 1971, on the TV show GTK is amazing.
I was to young to see them live in concert, wish I did with Bon, I seen them in concert later in year's yeah, good review 🎸🥁🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
