The last time I saw my mother alive, was at my 7th birthday in 1984. She gave me Back in Black on a cassette tape an told me it was herr favorite band. Needless to say, I friggin love this record!
Sorry for your loss, that's a very young age to lose your mother.
AC/DC... the greatest little pub rock band in the world. You can imagine them playing to 10 people in a back street pub, or a million people at a festival... and you would still get the same performance from them. They're simply the best.
That was one of the greatest, truest discription of this band!
My first ever bought album was "Powerage" 1978... This is probably one of the most energizing bands the human history has ever known...
One of my favorites... Overdose is incredible
That is my fav ACDC album, so good!
It may have been mine as well, though it would have been around '85 😁
@@upStomp I think I got into it around '83!
It was also ACDC'S FIRST ALBUM
ALL OTHERS BEFORE ARE FAKE PUBLICATION DATES.
The first concert I ever went to was Kiss on their “Rock and Roll Over” tour. They had this unknown little band called AC/DC as their opening act! They were MUCH BETTER than Kiss, even without all the special effects and theatrics! They blew me away!!! I’ll never forget forget Angus carrying Bon on his back, going through the audience! Correction: it was Bon carrying Angus on his back!
I think the last part was the other way around lol but agreed!
Angus must be FAR stronger than he appears. ;)
It was bon who carried Angus I know cause I was there
@@kennethjahn5993 You’re exactly right. Don’t know why I said that. Angus couldn’t carry any one around and still play guitar!!
Excellent point. KISS is probably The Best marketed band of all time, and they're a Blast In Concert. However, they aren't near the musician's ACDC is. Gene (adequate musician, but Genius Marketer)Simmons himself has always taunted the great show's they put on, but not necessarily the actual band itself is. Behind closed doors GS would be the 1st to agree with us, you might not even have to close the doors......
AC/DC had very humble beginnings in the Sydney scene. No T-shirts, no brand recognition, they just blew people off the stage and rocked harder than everyone else.
There is NO other band like AC/DC in the Rock 'N Roll world and NEVER will there be another one again. They were simply exceptional, very underrated very often and simply amazingly talented, brilliant and innovative.
Richard Ramirez was called Night Prowler, but this was a full 5 years after the song of the same name was recorded. Unless they have some psychic ability the two are unrelated. Ramirez did wear an AC DC hat during some of his crimes, but wasn't wearing it when he was arrested.
Bon was such a fox. So much charisma you felt it through the screen. My favorite band of all time. Both Bon and Brian eras
I think Bon was better overall but both are simply fantastic
His voice was much more recognizable imo
I got sad seeing Bon Scott. He was such a great dude and honest rocker! Lost him way to early. He was just reaching his peak when we lost him!
Agreed, Powerage is their magnum opus and they didnt have a single bad album with Bon
Even without trying his lifestyle talking movement behaviour is seriousy rocker man already..
As an American teen the riff on "Back in Black" just grabbed me. I knew little about the band & phenomenal frontman/singer Bon Scott (RIH). Brian Johnson is a great frontman
My favourite album is - Let there be Rock.
Favourite songs - Shoot to thrill, up to my neck in you, Squealer (Favourite Angus solo), and Ride On - just to name a few 😉
Powerage and Back In Black have always been my favorite AC/DC albums.
All of a sudden it became fashionable to say that Powerage is your "favourite" AC/DC album. You're a poser.
I'm a good judge of the energy & music that rock bands have created & performed in history, intently listening to their sound and amplified vocals & instruments, wether recorded in a studio or live on stage..the bottom line is, in the world of rock bands comparing to each other, since the late 50s.. there is no other band that could find or produce the raunchy, mean, energetic rock sound that ACDC had with 5 band members, lighting the world on fire with their paramount blast of explosive energy. The powerful rythyms & lead guitar sounds of the Young brothers, their thumping base, the scratchy tenor voices of both Bon & Brian in their tenures, and the beat of their drums in tempo & their hellish raunchy lyrics. The Best! There is no other band!
Highway to Hell put them on the map because of the iconic title track but I believe as a whole that the Powerage album is a far superior album and is sadly to this day one of the most underrated albums ever created. I think it is the so to speak Back in Black of the Bon Scott era. It's loaded with gems and sprinkled with semi precious (but still desirable) stones. I've always liked the sound of Brian's voice better (Scott was superior in writing lyrics) but Scott's voice was the perfect fit for the Powerage album and nobody can match him on it. I do believe Scotts fingerprints are on the BIB album but whether it's true or not Johnson was the unparalleled fit to sing that album. Sadly, it's so close to the time that the world will speak of AC/DC in past tense. I really stress the sadly part because I've never idolized any celebrity including any that make up AC/DC but when Malcom died along with myself being 40 and enjoying their music for the past 35 of those years, I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel like a part of my life/me has died as well. Don't let anyone bullshit you. Getting old sucks.
What on earth are you babbling about?
It was my fingers that did that I swear. Plus being the recipient of second hand pot smoke didn't help lol.
You are correct about Bons finger prints on BIB. His lyrics are surely in "You Shook Me All Night Long".
My fav Johnson album "Flick of the Switch"
Fav Bon album "If you want Blood"
Led Zeppelin lost their drummer and had nothing else to give the loyal fans, and just quit. AC/DC looses its lead singer, and gives its loyal fans Back n Black. When faced with adversity a true rock band rises to the occasion. AC/ DC is GOAT!!
I like how Brian puts everything he has into each song.
He seems on the point of collapse dozens of times.
Each song.
There's a great video of them doing live rehearsal for flick of the switch and doing guns for hire over and over and I never realised until I seen it just how much effort and power Brian Johnson put into his singing.
I loved Bon, but then also loved Brian too! One of the very few bands that lost their Frontman, but still continued on successfully! Never felt that Bon was being disrespected, but felt Bon was looking down saying, “Well done Mates”!
WELL DONE! Thank you so very much for the Knowledge.
What a great documentary. I played Highway to Hell and Back in Black front to back every day on the drums to get my timing and creativity. I still have my Back in Black album albeit scratches on the black cover. IYKYK hahaha! One of the albums I still listen to front to back.
I was born in 79 and the first album on vinyl my dad gave me was ACDC . Will always love this band.
My daughter has been singing AC/DC songs since she was 4 and is so sad she never got to see them. Also, Angus plays that guitar effortlessly!
I like them probably more than the next person Angus was the reason i picked up guitar but Zep was the biggest best most versatile rock band to date.
These Pommies have no idea. Yes it is shaking your leg at the end of a piss, but....
"Shake a leg" in Australia means "Hurry up" In other words "finish what you're doing and let's go"
"C'mon, shake a leg"
Very good documentary,hello from Lima Peu
Did that guy really say that Maiden paved the way for Priest ? That's not the way I remember it. We were all spinning Judas Priest records before Iron Maiden had their first album out.
Correct. Priest were about years before maiden.
Exactly. Some of these jokers have no clue.
Definitely. I heard Priest from my brother. Didnt see Iron Maiden until MTV.
Judas priest has been around since 1969 and put their first album out in 1974 it is called rocka Rolla and acdc began December 31st 1973.
He didn't say that he said iron maiden brought a new audience to priest
I had always thought the song Back In Black was literally about coming home from Bon's funeral dressed in a black suit...and then moving forward as a band.
WOW, i love these backstories--at age 69 in a few months i loved them and saw thein concert!!!!
The fact they came in and made that album just months after losing Bon is crazy but the best medicine for there pain and Brian fit the singer role perfectly and was a solid song writer obviously !!! They've been my favorite band from pre-teen till this day I can't wait to see or hear what's next ..
Think about what you just said. They made BIB just months after losing Bon. How? Bon wrote the lyrics. He was in the studio helping write the music. Angus says this.
Brian Johnson wasn't even in the picture. Bon was alive!!!
@@spooge33 no he didn’t and no he wasn’t in the studio helping write the music. Bon had nothing to do with the writing of Back in Black.
@@mrjw6701 Guess Angus was wrong. Damn him!!!!
@@spooge33 I've heard some of the lyrics on the album was stuff Bon had wrote down and I think they had done some song riffs with Bon singing but I'm not here to debate with you about it....
@@spooge33 Bon called into the studio one afternoon to see how the boys were doing. Malcolm and Angus were working on a few ideas. Malcolm asked Bon to play drums while they worked out the guitar parts. That was all Bon’s involvement was, he died a week later. Angus confirmed this in an interview last year.
great doc! but at 1:03 you have the engineer giving lyrics to Shook Me while discussing Back In Black
Was blessed to see Bon and the boys for my first show in 79. Never did see Angus face as he never stopped rocking all night long. Seeing Bon sing The Jack live is a powerful experience for a 16 yr old. And they were warming us up for UFO. They are true me masters of swinging pocket rock snd roll with tone and teenage angst.
Back in Black was the first cassette tape I ever bought in my life. I have owned a number of Back in Black cassettes along with the LP and then the CD.
I still have a Rock and roll Ain't Noise Pollution pin. I have had it since the early 80s. It was stuck in the dash of my Jeep for over 15 years!
AC/DC Is My All-Time Favorite Band...
Highway To Hell Will Always Be My Favorite Album From Them...
Excellent enjoyed watching
I could watch Acca Dacca forever. Such an entertaining band. My heart is with Bon because that is when I became a diehard fan. He was a bloody hero to me in all of his okka rawness. BUT I'm sick of people putting Brian down. You can't change history.
If you could, my God I would have taken Bon home that night, been in the pool with Brian Jones, called the police on the arsehole who does not deserve a name, for having a gun and kicked John's murderer in the teensy balls before he could cowardly pull out his gun at the entrance of the Dakota, ... If only I could time travel.
Anyway, unfair to compare Bon and Brian. You can't compare. Let's just be grateful we had them both.
Can we please?
What song is the riff from at the beginning of this video?
Great doco, thank you
The narrator is completely wrong about "Night Prowler". That song was not written about the serial killer, who was apparently an AC/DC fan but his crimes were committed 5 years AFTER Highway To Hell was released. So unless he was the world's first time travelling murderer it would have been impossible for the band to have based that song on his activities.
Also, Malcolm Dome has an odd way of interpreting "Shake A Leg". The most common meaning of the phrase in England during that period (especially amongst working class people like Brian) was to "get down and have a good time" or "let loose and have a party". Alternately it was used to mean "hurry up", as in "Shake a leg, we're going to be late". And just by looking at the song's lyrics, Dome's theory about shaking a certain other part of the body makes no sense within the context of the song.
Rock would be way different with Bon still around.
Agreed
Agreed totally!
Seen Metallica and WASP in St.Loius at Reflections in I'm thinking 83 or 84 I was 14 changed my whole drumming style then I found Slayer and love all the bands in this biography horns up
Oops wrong biography lol seen AC DC on fly on the wall in Dallas or Ft.worth can't remember lol
They are the epitome of less is more. 3 chords, the truth and a cloud of dust. Rock and roll royalty
Great video! Best Band EVER!
Born in 1960 I grew up with the best rock bands of all time, ac/dc was one of the top bands, back in black is a crunching classic driving song, the words "back in" is to me, a Phoenix rising type feeling, same with Aerosmiths back in the saddle, it's that thought of rising, coming back after being knocked down, right, I'm back in.
As an Aussie, growing up to Bon Scott, and the boys, I can answer your question in two words... "HELL YEAH!"
Man oh man I would love to hear those songs from Back In Black with Bon’s vocal on them!! Bonus tracks from heaven👍😎
AC/DC know who they were in the beginning and have stuck to their roots since then. Their music is the soundtrack of my life - the ultimate rock band anywhere in the multiverse.
Sound track for sure !!
First concert was For those About to Rock in '82 !!
Shoot the Thrill is my favourite song, specially the part when the tom-toms middle eighth kicks in, guitar layers, is way to cool, crank that part up you'll see what I mean. It Kills.
It's the original ACDC Freo boys only we know that is the magic that was Life in WA Fremantle to this day. When Bon lived it and the Young Boys my Aunty's in the 70s youst to hang out with the boys before they were even heard of and went to other parts of OZ Fremantle WA Perth were Bon final resting place is that were it started Noongars know.Moodich much respect we are proud to know this fact.peace out ACDC fan's but it's the truth as far as my elders told me they was always loud and they wasn't happy about it at the time earlier 70s Who would I've known that they would become the biggest Rocking Roll band of all time in my opinion.👌 True yarn.
Brian gave the best tribute to Bonnie ever. If not for bon that wouldn't be as effective Great stuff an mutt knew bons legend will never die
I personally have been a huge fan of ACDC from the very beginning all the way down line to today
Shoot to Thrill is the first song I blew a set of speakers playing it.
I have the original Album Back n Black still in the plastic cover
1:36:39 " The song(Night prowler) was alledgedly written about the serial killer Richard Ramirez. Known as the night prowler. Whom, when was finally caught, was wearing an AC/DC-T-shirt. Bon allways maintained otherwise." BOLLOCKS!!! It was the other way around. Night prowler was recorded in 1979. Bon died in 1980. "The night STALKER", Richard Ramirez started his killing spree in about 1984, and was caught in August 1985. He was wearing an AC/DC T-shirt though, and there were speculations in papers on wether Ramirez was inspired by the song.
Back in Black was with Brian, but he is missing in the thumbnail, I love Bon, but it seems disrespectful to Brian
😅 the picture on the TH-cam ad for this video has Bon Scott on it, not Brian.
Love 'em, Smokin' RnR as well as excellent musicianship. As great a live show as there is! That said, so's The Who in their prime! As well as Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, and Lynyrd Skynyrd! Kick ass RnR as well as top flight musicianship. What I'm saying is it's Apples2Oranges at that level whoever's sound is your preference. I saw and loved em all, but I think The Who's "my" all time favorite, but 1 of the buddy's that attended the show's with me could have a a different opinion, and he wouldn't be wrong either. Hope that makes sense.
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap. , one of my all time faves
That's the tour I saw them on in Dallas Texas Reunion Arena.
"ask NOT for whom the bell tolls....For it tolls for thee !"
You’ve done very well to make a documentary out of this. The only person connected to the band is their studio engineer for the album. Malcolm Dome was a respected journalist, who at least knew Bon socially. But using an AC/DC tribute band as your main commentators? Genius. They should know what the band had to do, because they play the songs. But they didn’t write them!
I really like Brian’s big signature voice.
Bon was overall better but Brians great too
Definitely one of the greatest bands of all times...
Hey regards from Colombia
When I was a kid I had no idea there were 2 different singers.
Bon was so incredible, Ive watched the live performances they have recorded of him and theyre all amazing, he really brought the energy and charisma!
I hear a lot of people say Brian sounds just like Bon. Honestly, maybe I just have a more keen ear, I dunno, but I don't think they sound anything alike. Both are amazing rock n roll singers and I don't have a favorite really, but I don't understand how anyone can hear one and then the other and think they sound the same. Bon has a drier voice, more mid range and less scream. Brian's vocals are like a pissed off banshee, lots of high end and demonic squealing.
Brian had a higher range and sang with a lot more vocal fry/grit in his voice than Bon. Even by 83 he was struggling to hit the notes he’d done on record. And his voice is f***ed now- no power, except at the bottom end, and no range. I’ve heard innumerable clips of Bon live and he never sounded like he couldn’t hit his notes. Sometimes he had to scream a bit to get them, but he sang within his range. Then again, we never got the chance to hear Bon sing in his 60s, and with his lifestyle, God only knows what his voice would’ve sounded like!
Incredible
Ac /dc will always be forever
Highway to hell is the best…hands down,!!! Still waiting to be de-thrown
One of them. Powerage and Let There Be Rock are better thhhhho
Squealer and problem child the best
There's a big lie towards the end regarding the Night Stalker Richard Ramirez. Those killings happened a few years later in the early '80s, Bon was already gone, he never wrote "Night Prowler" in 1979 about Ramirez or denied it. It's the other way around. Ramirez was inspired by the "Night Prowler" song and left an AC/DC cap at the crime scene. The band (with Brian, not Bon) denied any Satanic message or connection.
Can you imagine if Stevie Wright or Barnsy were to front them?? Wow!
If you will say it I will bon Scott wrote the lyrics to back in Black there is out there for all to see thank you
You nailed it.
Pre ac/dc Johnson sounds like Fogerty.
Living easy...living free... season ticket on a one way ride... asking nothing...leave me be... taking everything at my stride...
The best music often comes at the start, that is where the energy comes from and that is what you are hearing in this album. Strangely their best. I heard Angus thinks so. For me, Back in Black and Dirty Deeds (Australian version), iconic examples of both singers.
I love Bon. He was the one I first heard in 1977. But Hells Bells might be their best song.
Let there be rock.
1:26:05 this guy is clueless. Brian Johnson said in an interview that this was the first song he ever wrote with/for AC⚡️DC. So no! None of it was Bon Scott’s lyrics. I love how anyone can claim they’re an “expert” on other people’s lives. What a joke. Oh. Well. This guy said he saw it ona sheet of paper. Well. Stop the presses. Where is this sheet of paper with his hand writing. See. This is not even circumstantial evidence. This is just he said she said.
AC/DC? I like 'em both. I had Powerage on green vinyl and put it on ebay. It went gold. I was raised by Mothers though
How it's even a question of Bon's involvement in BIB is baffling. The drop-off in quality after BIB is staggering. They never came close to reaching the heights they did with Bon. You get one album recorded within a couple of months of his death then nothing. Sure the odd song here and there but the band was effectively over as a compelling and top of the line songwriting trio.
The Bon era was better but Brians amazing too
Yes! Then the lyrics went to shit.
@@spooge33 Agreed. Let There Be Rock, Powerage, Highway To Hell, Back in Black, and For Those About To Rock are a perfect 5 album run!
Malcom wrote many of the lyrics so that's insulting to his talent and memory.
@@gideonharris1493 No he didnt. Bon Scott wrote the lyrics to their 70s stuff, Brian wrote most from Back In Black until Blow Up Your Video. Malcolm wrote riffs that were mindblowingly amazing and he was a super talented guitarist, though not a great lyricist.
@@shewolfcub3 I was not referring to pre Brian at all! Correct if I'm wrong, I understand you wrote the lyrics post Bon were shit! Well, not all those song lyrics were always written purely by Brian. Some were from Mal. Ofcourse Bon was the lyricist when he was with us!
Too many Women & Too may pills is actually a Bon Scott line after I told Bon keep it in the Hospital... Hence it was actually UCLA PICU where we wrote 30 + Songs before my Surgery , also where You Shook Me all Night Long title came from a nurse shaking me awake from a surgery...
R/Steve
Ghostwriter of ACDC
GHOST FOR GOOD REASION !!
Bon shakes the big leg have a drink on me was like bons spirit right there to say you lads got this guy now make him rock and there was rock
Oh the Truth is There's so much to this Album that's being missed !! It's so much bigger ,
Truth needs to prevail over the misinformation !!
I'm with you. You know that.
When bon Scott passed away, I thought they were done. I bought back in black to see if I was right. I can still say I'm more of a fan of the bonn era, but man B.I.B was all killer, no filler and one of the best albums ever, bar none.
Also, the highest selling rock album ever and the second highest selling album of any genre. Just wild.
My two fav songs off back in black are given the dog a bone and have a drink on me and in my opinion,these two songs could easily have been written by Bon...they are totally Bons style I believe...I often wonder how many of the songs off back in black that Bon actually did have a hand in writing..but it doesnt matter really,I think Bon would be smiling to know how far the boys along with Brian took the band...and I believe Bon would have said they couldnt have picked a better guy to take his place as Brian is a great guy as was Bon...
Why is "Given" (the Dog a Bone) mispelled on the album as "Given" and not as "Givin" as it should be if it is a shortened way of writing "Giving", which is the correct word. Is it a way of telling grammar Nazis to "GO TO HELL!!"?? Why not take that thought a few steps further and misspell multiple words just to ensure that point is more obvious? I don't have the album handy at all or I'd look and see if there ARE more misspelled words because I have everything on hard drives and I don't want to dig out my original album to check and see if there ARE other misspellings. I just saw it in this video. I ain't no grammar Nazi, I'm just curious.
Hells Bells gave AC/DC kudos with the metal community along with their frenetic live shows and often got them misrepresented as a heavy metal band.
Can't play lead with heavy gauge strings....ever heard of SRV?🤘🎸
I play lead with the Heaviest Guage Strings the Law allows. Because I also play the Heaviest Metal music that is allowed by the Law
@@godetonter4764 Fun fact, most heavy metal guitarists use 8-9s!
I had a Collie Dog, when she heard this song it was on...
Now-a-days alls you gotta do is Google Bell clanging in the key of D demo....whaaa-laaaa!
Best AC/DC songs
Hells Bells
Cold Hearted Man
She's Got Balls
Down Payment Blues
Touch Too Much
Soulstripper
Ain't Got a Hold On Me
COD
Jailbreak
Whole Lotta Rosie
Sin City
Who Made Who
Live Wire
Even though both eras of AC/DC sound pretty much the same, they are pretty different at the same time. The first few albums are a bit different but all have that signature sound the band started with, and for that I admire them a lot!
Flick of the Switch is another ass kicker
I love BJ but he never wrote a song in his life. On Back in Black Bon Scott wrote 6 songs and the Young brothers wrote 4 songs 😉
Has anyone ever identified this random fan in Cleveland that recommended Brian as a replacement singer.
Brian era was the entry of the non specific lame lyrics era. That’s the way I wanna rockn roll, for those about to rock, blah blah blah insert ‘rock’
I would say that "Given the Dog a Bone" and probably Money, Honey were NOT Bon Scott lyrics. I do know that the "What Do You Do For Money, Honey" was a George Young title. Bon was far more clever with his lyrics than Brian. Can I see Bon writing "You Shook Me," and "Have a Drink on Me?" Yes. Some of "Rock n Roll Ain't Noise Pollution," including the title? Yes. Some of the other lyrics just doesnt sound like Bon's stuff to me. Plus Brian is very confused about what song he first wrote lyrics and recorded first. In a 2003 documentary, he said it was "Hell's Bells," and yet in other interviews, including a couple on Howard Stern, he says it was "You Shook Me." There has been a lot of conflicting accounts from Brian, Angus, and Malcolm over the years. "Shoot to Thrill" is a confusing mish mash of lyrics to me. It is REALLY about "too many women, too many pills?" as Brian claims, is it another song about sex, like the rest of the lyrics suggest, or is it about a western, like Angus says about that breakdown after the solo? I'd say more of a double entendre about sex AND a "gunfight" with the girl "pull(ing) the trigger" (wink). Of all of these guys speaking here, I believe Malcolm Dome above anyone else, especially since HE ACTUALLY SAW some of the lyrics Bon was working on for what became "BiB."
"okay" if you "say so"
Yes!! "Silver", Bons girlfriend, saw it all. Meaning Bons notebook with all the lyrics to BIB and FTATR.
Angus said they wrote the entire "Highway to Hell" album over the course of a weekend.
Hell I could be one these blokes going on about these songs.
What they pay?
I can blather on my opinion .
It's just as good as theirs.
I wonder if they ever played the whole BNB album in 1 concert ?
There wasn't an AC/DC studio album with 10 tracks until Highway To Hell. Not sure why he said "there were always 10 songs on an AC/DC album."
The Night Stalkers serial killings took place in California 84/85 ffs. Night prowler was released 79 wasnt it. How the hell do they make that connection?
Back in Black. Brian Johnson vocals helped make this a masterpiece.
Thumbnail. Bon Scott.
Bon was better overall but Brians good too
