@@Ottopip Brian Johnson English lead singer in GEORDIE from Newcastle upon Tyne 1975 i was there & saw them live videos on Y T So What , Goin' Down Just like a woman 🎼 🔥
The drummer in this video lives in my town and teaches people to drum he’s actually a really nice bloke he also said he wish he could stayed with the group he said it was relaxed and good fun playing with them
I saw an interview with Angus Young, the lead guitarist, and he was asked what he thought about being considered one of the best guitarists of all time and I'll never forget his response: "I'm not even the best guitarist in the band." Such humility.
Both Young brothers were incredibly humble considering their talent level. Malcolm was considered the leader of the band, and its driving musical force, but you'd only know if you were a fan of the band because he never carried himself like he was better than anyone else. AC/DC was one of those bands with unreal talent, but the humility and drive to stick with it for the long haul without ever compromising their integrity. Respect to all the lads.
Jimi hendrix was asked what it was like to the be the best guitarist.... response " Well, go ask Terry Kath, he standing right over there. " " Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 - 7/21/1970 - Tanglewood " Think Jimi was talking about this...
The singer you were listening to was Brian Johnson, who joined after Bon Scott passed away. Consequently the first album that Brian Johnson sang in was "Back in Black" which became one of the top selling albums of all time of any genre. If you want to listen to a Bon Scott fronted song, then "Highway to Hell" is probably his most well known, though "Whole Lotta Rosie" and "Big Balls" are both fun.
@@spydernyne984Check out the video. Very early in their career ('75?). They're on a flatbed truck and Bon Scott plays bagpipes. (Edit: This is to Diane. I figured spydernynde984 has probably seen it).
Some producer type once asked them to do a different style of album, ( can't remember what, possibly disco ) so they cranked out their usual style and out sold the competition. Haven't changed their style for 50 years, still no reason to do so ( apart from lose of band members )
If someone had told me how much fun it would be to watch an Irish gal expand her musical horizons, I'd have responded in disbelief. That was ton of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed spending 10 minutes w/ you this morning Diane! Cheers! 💚
Aww shucks thanks Mike! If you told me that anybody in the world would be remotely interested in watching me watch some thing for the first time i would’ve thought you were kidding 😂
@@DianeJenningsThe reaction that you had when you first heard them was golden, then you smiled and Danced! 😊❤😎👍 My favorite song by them switches between Shook Me and Back in Black! 😂
@@DianeJennings Great Reaction girl. Definitely a legendary band and one of the very best. They have sold about 200 million albums world wide and it's no surprise.
@@DianeJennings (Australian Band) This was the first time I've seen your channel and loved your reaction! I was a little surprised when you said you've never heard of AC/DC before. I think you would know some of their other hits when you hear them. They have a ton of hit songs, a lot are played at sporting events. Like others have said Bon Scott was the original lead singer but passed away. This lead singer Brian Johnson joined the band when they realeased the Album Back in Black, which did very well. I've seen AC/DC in concert a few times in the early 80's. Great reaction, you've got a new sub! Keep up the great work!! It looks like you're having fun with your channel which is great to watch!!😉👍🏜
When rv’ing through the USA, many states have zero “good” music stations in the country side. A bunch of country stations. So I can imagine she only heard gospel and country music
The River Plate performance has to be one of the greatest concerts of all time. And I say that as someone who's not especially an AC/DC fan, although I do like some of their stuff.
But great a drummer as Phil Rudd usually is? He never quite nails the Chris Slade drums on the original Thunderstruck as seen in this video. No disrespect meant to Phil at all. He's always been a great drummer for AC/DC. It's just that Chris Slade owns the badass drumming on this song. It almost seems like Phil doesn't really like playing it since Chris Slade just... Slayed it. Just saying.
Arguably, the greatest hard rock band ever. Some other great songs of theirs: "Moneytalks" "Back In Black", "Shoot To Thrill", "Hells Bells", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Let Me Put My Love Into You", "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", "Let There Be Rock".
AC/DC really knew how to get the audience all charged up. They are a high energy and flashy performance driven group. That being said they have a sound that is immediately recognizable. They have a pile of hard driving hit songs which are great for road trip tunes. I'm partial to Highway to Hell and You Shook Me All Night Long. Judging from Diane's boppin to the beat she'd chair dancing till the music moved her feet onto the dance floor. Rock and Roll forever.
It's been in several movies and TV shows. Little Nicky, Wild Hogs and Megamind just to name a few movies. For TV shows, The Simpsons, Family Guy and Supernatural.
This song by AC/DC is so iconic, you may not know the title but as soon as you hear the first few notes, you immediately recognize it and can't help but get into the rhythm.
Good tune, but not the most iconic to me ... Whole Lotta Rosie, You Shook Me All Night Long, Hells Bells .. they have done so many, truly, one the the greatest bands of all time. @DianeJennings, being someone who grew up with this, I wouldn't normally use the parlance, but it was really 'cute' watching/listening to you :)
@@Not-just-doing-I.T.one song that doesn't get enough airtime is Let's Make It. I have probably every song they ever released and they're all on my playlist along with some Ozzy, Metallica and Rammstein.
I'd like to report that I saw them at Wembley 3 weeks ago with 80,000 others and Brian (76) screamed for 2 hours with a smile on his face the whole time and Angus(69) played and danced around the stage like a kid with huge hair! Best time of our lives!
One of the very few bands out there that needs to be listened to at an ear-bloodening volume. Takes a lot out of any audio equipment to play their music in a decent way. Other than that, this is the exact song I needed to hear today. Thank you Diane :)
Agreed, after work I used to put the top down of my convertible; pop in Thunderstruck; turn up the volume and be-bop down the road slammed by my hand against the steering wheel; bobbing my head all over and singing right along my with Brian at the top of my lungs!!! When people looked over at me I kept right on jamming, thinking to myself, "Who gives a fu*#, They don't know me!!!"
I like how you watch the whole video before giving any type of critique. Not many people do that. Hats off to you. Glad you got to hear one of the greatest songs of all time.
Thunderstruck was released over 30 years ago, ACDC is one of the most famous bands. The song is still played nowadays ba radio stations all over the world, it was used for commercials... What cave do you have to live in not to have heard of it yet. 😀
I'm a big music guy and like AC DC. But for some odd reason this slipped passed me also. I had never heard this tune till the movie Battleship came out. Blew my mind that I'd never heard it when I found out when it was released. Now I have it downloaded and still can't hear it enough.
She did admit she had heard people playing the guitar riff before, maybe didn't know what song it was from. If she grew up on classical music this song may have not crossed her path somehow.
@@mrbyamile6973 Check the intro of the 2Cello's on youtube. Than you ill hear that classical cello music is going to hard rock very smooth. Even Angus enjoyed that transition.😉
THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME! I can't believe you've not heard any of their music before! Thunderstruck is my favorite. Thank you for this Diane!
There are so many songs from this band that are worthy of a listen. I could name at least 15-20 without trying hard. Thanks for getting this one out of copyright jail and into your catalog.
They may have been founded in Aussie but Brian lead singer took the lead after Bon passed. He's a Durham boy from Gateshead. he has a mega following up there in the north east of the UK. Listen to IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANT TO ROCK AND ROLL. epic song.by the late great Bon Scott lead singer and bagpipes It's one of those tunes you just wanna roll down your car windows and max out the volume to share this great tune.
See us old people aren't so bad. This is what we grew up listening too. And my head still bangs to it all these years later! Glad to see younger people enjoying the same music I grew up to. Great reaction!❤
Diane, saw AC/DC in 1978 with Bon Scott in a small concert venue in NJ USA. The metal boys were there as well as the punk rockers. Surprisingly, everyone got along with no fighting. Show was LOUD with high energy!
I saw them in concert back in the 80's, and if you think this video was something, their live performances took it to a whole new level. I have to admit to being surprised that you've never heard their music, it's been used in a number of movies (Avengers, etc.)
Angus Young's (the guitarist) brothers Malcolm and George were founding members of The Easybeats, so the whole family are Australian rock and roll royalty. Proudly Scottish but also proudly Australian. It's widely acknowledged that George Young and Harry Vanda meeting at the Villawood Hostel changed Australian music for the better.
If you really want to expand your insight & be completely blown away,the acoustic version by 2 Cellos is truly magnificent !! The video is set in the time of Mozart & the audience is split between stunned & mortified by what they're witnessing ! Both musicians are classically trained virtuosos & remarkable performers,a must see !!!
Wow, first time for AC/DC, eh? Was hard to miss them in the states as they are now part of Pop Culture here in the USA and you can bump into them on TV, in the movies, commercials, they have been everywhere and it was easy to see why, as most people love them! Do Hell's Bells live at the River Platte for a great tune and bonkers crowd. They have tons of great tunes, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Diane listens to AC/DC singing Thunderstruck When she hears Brian Johnson’s vocals, she says WTF She’s intrigued by their look and the video production But they’re just a high energy band that needs no introduction
As I recall, that singer was hired to replace the original singer who passed. And one of the main reasons is because his voice is remarkably similar to the original singer. Loved your energy in this one! Made me smile big!
Your face perfectly summed up what I felt as a 5 year old when I first heard AC/DC! 48 years later, still one of my most favorite bands. So glad you enjoyed it!
Butt-head started it for a new generation perhaps, but by 1981 they were all over. I was at a concert, can’t remember who bc they were opening act, but singer had on AC/DC shirt. This was 1982-83.🙂
Your reaction to first hearing Brian Johnson's voice is the price of gold. Same reaction I had! Glad you got to see this, glad you got a view of Angus Young's antics. Please look further into this band's catalogue! Love from the US!
Thanks Diane! I enjoyed this song, and I like AC/DC’s music in general. They have a song “It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)” where Bon Scott plays the bagpipes which is pretty cool for a hard rock song. 😂
@@angharaddenby3389No, the producer learnt that Bon Scott was in a bagpipe band and wanted to include bagpipes in the song. Scott of course obliged, however he didn,t tell him he was a DRUMMER in a band!
This is one of those historic, iconic songs that even if you aren't familiar with, or a fan of AC/DC, or don't know the name of the song, you can't help but recognize the tune. It's quite literally everywhere.
Actually, you were not watching Bon Scott as the lead singer in that video. That was Brian Johnson. He was hired after the tragic passing of Bon Scott. Those guys are icons and legends. Rock gods.
Saw them perform last Saturday and it was one of the best damn nights. I don’t care how old angus and Johnson is, they still put up a damn good show. Johnson still had his voice and angus still shredding . It felt surreal seeing them perform and still can’t believe I had the chance to see them.
Young girls facial reaction speaks volumes. Oooh, smile, amazement, smile lights up her face, reaction like the bands volume increases with each second.
Diane- this is a great video selection. I am not a huge AC/DC fan, but this is one of their songs that I have always liked. This is always a great song to play in a stadium right before a big game…..definitely gets everyone fired up.
ACDC is not a heavy metal band though? But yeah, she must have heard it before. It's everywhere even if you don't like it. On the radio, in films and series, in games even, commercials, instagram as tracks etc etc
grew up with them as one of the best sounds. They did a gig in Knoxville Tennessee at the Thunder Dome. They were never allowed to play there again because they were so loud, they cracked the dome😲
Hey, awesome "first time" hearing reaction just so good we can watch your reaction non stop and then listen to your chat at the end. So much better than other first time vids. ✌
I live in Sarasota Florida and have had the pleasure of meeting Brian Johnson. What a nice guy , so down to earth and congenial. It truly is nice to be important but more important to be nice. Thanks Brian....and keep on rocking!
Diane, it’s so much fun watching you discover old music I’ve known for decades. It’s actually refreshing to see someone willing to listen to stuff they wouldn’t otherwise know. 🤘🏽
The greatest Aussie band ever! And one of the greatest rock bands of all time. My favourite band since high school when I first heard Highway to Hell. Rock on, Dianne, and Chewie!😂
@stevenfox6278 the Scots, Angus and Malcom Young, were born in Scotland, but their family moved to Australia when they were little kids. Yes, Brian Johnson is an English man. But, the band was formed in Melbourne and the band has always been based in Australia. Google AC-DC and it will say that they're an Australian band.
@@terryomalley1974 You can't just ignore the fact they were Scottish, Bon Scott too, and their brother George Young produced their early work. Of course they had Australian influences, but their love of music came from their family and their Scottish heritage/upbringing Perhaps Scotstralian might be a good way to describe them
@SH-lm6ek I'll go with Scotstralian; however, Angus, Malcom and Bon Scott all lived in Australia since they were wee tots. You can tell be their accents in interviews.
This is a banger! I enjoyed seeing "Shocked Diane" again. You should also check out "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap" from their earlier incarnation, with Bon Scott on vocals. Brian Johnson was the vocalist here. He joined after Bon Scott's death. I liked both eras of the band.
My take on your review: THANK YOU for playing the song all the way through, and commenting after. Too many reviewers and reactors interrupt the flow and energy of some of the greatest music ever... and in doing so crush the experience for viewers. Good job.
I love the history lessons with the music reactions from this channel Diane! Can’t hear this band without thinking of the high school football locker room pre-game “Ghetto Blaster” stereo. Their driving music was our first choice to turn nervousness into adrenaline confidence for a bunch of teenagers about to hit each other hard.
I had so much fun watching you react hearing this song for the first time.😁 Brought back the same feelings I had when it was first released. Once it's in your head, you'll never get rid of it. It'll still be hot 100 years from now!
AC/DC has the jams. Thunderstrucks is one of their many jams. Their live concerts are really good. Thanks for sharing the journey of the awesome rock vibes to make Wednesday a very joyful day. Rock On! And Party On! 🎵🎸🎤
Growing up in Australia, even in the early 2000s, AC/DC was the most music my brother and I listened too, there are a even more Australian Bands that are extremely popular as well such as Midnight Oil, INXS, Men at Work, Bee Gees, The Angels, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, Jet, Crowded House, Daddy Cool there’s so many bands that have created songs that are known worldwide.
Glad they focused in on the quite miraculous guitar work of Angus Young. To repeat that riff over and over again just shows that he is one of the best guitarists of all time. Oh yes great track as well.
AC/DC are the most famous band in the world that you've never heard of. Creators of the 2nd-highest-selling studio album of all time (Back In Black) and unchallenged icons of Aussie music, but I imagine 90% of non-Australians these days won't even know them, even though they'll have undoubtedly heard their music somewhere or other (probably one of the MCU films, where Tony Stark was a big fan). It's time to educate yourself.
Nah mate, 10% of people outside of OZ who are under 35 maybe. I’d say 80% of people 40 and over worldwide know who AC/DC is. If you are old e to have watched Beavis and Butthead on MTV then you know AC/DC. Wether you are in Rome, Tokyo, Houston, or London.
Their songs in about 6/15 movies.. Gone shooting ... beavis an butthead Thunderstruck... Deadpool, Planes Fire Rescue... Varsity Blues paid $500k to use it.. TNT ... Talkedega Nights Highway to Hell ... School a Rock.
@@RustyDust101 Yes it would be.,but you can watch him doing it at the first of the video. He holds one hand up above his he and while the other is playing on the neck.
@@xScooterAZx I had the incredibly good fortune to see them live in Hannover a few years back. In the intro, Angus played for nearly two minutes with hammer-ons and pull-offs. I was just astounded. What a beast!
I think the best example of early ACDC you could listen to, with Bon Scott on vocals, is 'Touch Too Much'. I'm an old dude in Australia who remembers them playing the local YMCA club for $2 entry when they were getting started. Seeing you bop away to an Angus Young riff is contagious and heart warming. You will listen to more and more as you look into their back catalogue. Welcome to AccaDacca fandom. Edit: What she probably does not realise is that the band members were most likely as old as her father when the music video was made.
@@fabiwilliams4644 If your lucky you will see the all night binges on 'Rage' where they just play old episodes. Some of the music is great, some of it is still cringeworthy today. A lot of the very early episodes in the ABC vault were lost when some bean counting brainiac in ABC management in the 80's decided that it would be a good idea to tape over the previous episodes because the big beta video cassettes used were expensive. All the early stuff in B&W, with legends like Billy Thorpe, Zoot etc, were lost. Absolute tragedy!
@@woodrowsmith3400 In 1972 the average wage was about $75-$90 a week, so it was all relative. A new Chrysler RT Charger with all the goodies was about $3000, still just as unobtainable to me then, as they are now at $300,000 fully restored.
For unknown reason TH-cam led me to this article. This was my late father’s favourite band and his favourite song. Thanks for breaking it down, from comments I can see how rest of your audience enjoyed it too. God bless 🙏🏼
I'm 60 and I grew up when these bands hit it big and absolutely love the bands of the 60's, 70's and 80's when we had bands that became legendary. Welcome to our generation of music, enjoy it, I do.
You might want to check out their performance in 2009 at River Platt Stadium in Argentina. They played to about 70,000 people 3 nights in a row. It's an epic concert.
The intro to Thunderstruck is one of the most iconic in music history. I can definitely buy that she didn't know AC/DC, but I knew there was no way she had not (at least) heard the into to this song.
Absolutely love the true honest reaction to hearing this for the first time!, the wonder in your eyes when you first hear his rasp, well it just gave me goosebumps and a smile from ear to ear.❤ keep up the good work
I saw them live in 1995 at Memorial Colliseum for the Razor Edge tour. They started the concert with this song. The lights went out and the Angus started his guitar lick and then in sync with the music strobe lights all around the rooftop perimeter. It was epic. The whole show was flawless.

Title song of the movie "Battleship".
@@MKA63 I just watched that last night after seeing some WWII footage, and I rocked out to Thunderstruck. I'm 70 and still alive.
I'd like to report that I saw them at Wembley 3 weeks ago with 80,000 others and Brian (76) screamed for 2 hours with a smile on his face the whole time and Angus(69) played and danced around the stage like a kid with huge hair! Best time of our lives!
Ami me impresionó como metían perico por esa nariz😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve been there and Brian was singing his heart out at 76 what a man
One of the very few bands out there that needs to be listened to at an ear-bloodening volume. Takes a lot out of any audio equipment to play their music in a decent way. Other than that, this is the exact song I needed to hear today. Thank you Diane :)
Aww well, believe it or not, Manuel, your comment has made my day!
Agreed, after work I used to put the top down of my convertible; pop in Thunderstruck; turn up the volume and be-bop down the road slammed by my hand against the steering wheel; bobbing my head all over and singing right along my with Brian at the top of my lungs!!!
When people looked over at me I kept right on jamming, thinking to myself, "Who gives a fu*#, They don't know me!!!"
@@berniej.rucker4252 The very definition of Rock And Roll!!! :)
I like how you watch the whole video before giving any type of critique. Not many people do that. Hats off to you. Glad you got to hear one of the greatest songs of all time.
Yes too many interrupt the video all the way through.
@@scudosmyth784 They do that to avoid a copyright claim so they can monetize the video.
Thought exactly that 👏👏
@@scudosmyth784 too many copyright strikes and her videos will be in YT jail for awhile before they will release them.
Thunderstruck was released over 30 years ago, ACDC is one of the most famous bands. The song is still played nowadays ba radio stations all over the world, it was used for commercials... What cave do you have to live in not to have heard of it yet. 😀
I'm a big music guy and like AC DC. But for some odd reason this slipped passed me also. I had never heard this tune till the movie Battleship came out. Blew my mind that I'd never heard it when I found out when it was released. Now I have it downloaded and still can't hear it enough.
@@DanMcCann-x4jnot buying it.
She did admit she had heard people playing the guitar riff before, maybe didn't know what song it was from. If she grew up on classical music this song may have not crossed her path somehow.
@@mrbyamile6973 Check the intro of the 2Cello's on youtube. Than you ill hear that classical cello music is going to hard rock very smooth. Even Angus enjoyed that transition.😉
I'd like to formally invite you to what we call REAL MUSIC.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME! I can't believe you've not heard any of their music before! Thunderstruck is my favorite. Thank you for this Diane!
Hells Bells, Thunderstruck, Highway To Hell, Back in Black, T.N.T, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap are their biggest and best songs.
There are so many songs from this band that are worthy of a listen. I could name at least 15-20 without trying hard. Thanks for getting this one out of copyright jail and into your catalog.
They may have been founded in Aussie but Brian lead singer took the lead after Bon passed. He's a Durham boy from Gateshead. he has a mega following up there in the north east of the UK. Listen to IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANT TO ROCK AND ROLL. epic song.by the late great Bon Scott lead singer and bagpipes It's one of those tunes you just wanna roll down your car windows and max out the volume to share this great tune.
See us old people aren't so bad. This is what we grew up listening too. And my head still bangs to it all these years later! Glad to see younger people enjoying the same music I grew up to. Great reaction!❤
I first heard AC/DC when I was 10, 1974. Almost 60 and still love them!
I was born in 1984, first heard them in 1994. Yet, still THUNDERSTRUCK)))
Diane, saw AC/DC in 1978 with Bon Scott in a small concert venue in NJ USA. The metal boys were there as well as the punk rockers. Surprisingly, everyone got along with no fighting. Show was LOUD with high energy!
Never been a hard-core handbanger but this song is one of the best I've ever heard pure energy
I saw them in concert back in the 80's, and if you think this video was something, their live performances took it to a whole new level. I have to admit to being surprised that you've never heard their music, it's been used in a number of movies (Avengers, etc.)
Also saw them in the 80’s. Johnson City, TN.
The memories!
The scene in Battleship when they were preparing Mighty Mo to confront the alien invaders
Also saw them in Seattle. Fantastic concert ❤
That whole album is bangers. You can't help but love that song. Makes you want to dance.
Angus Young's (the guitarist) brothers Malcolm and George were founding members of The Easybeats, so the whole family are Australian rock and roll royalty. Proudly Scottish but also proudly Australian. It's widely acknowledged that George Young and Harry Vanda meeting at the Villawood Hostel changed Australian music for the better.
Malcolm wasn’t a member of the Easybeats.
I have been lucky enough to see these guys live twice. An experience of a life time. The energy was incredible. AC/DC were an incredible band.
I envy anyone who gets to hear AC/DC for the very first time. Must check out this song and many others Live at the River Plate in 2009.
Donington is another live performance worth watching.
No Bull concert in Spain too
If you really want to expand your insight & be completely blown away,the acoustic version by 2 Cellos is truly magnificent !! The video is set in the time of Mozart & the audience is split between stunned & mortified by what they're witnessing ! Both musicians are classically trained virtuosos & remarkable performers,a must see !!!
I love that video. And it gives a different but recognizable sounds to the song
Steve'n'Seagulls version is a foot stomper, too....
Yes, it is brilliant.
I was just showing that video to a friend of my a couple days ago!
Great cover my neices husband plays with a cellist doing many covers
Wow, first time for AC/DC, eh? Was hard to miss them in the states as they are now part of Pop Culture here in the USA and you can bump into them on TV, in the movies, commercials, they have been everywhere and it was easy to see why, as most people love them! Do Hell's Bells live at the River Platte for a great tune and bonkers crowd. They have tons of great tunes, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Diane listens to AC/DC singing Thunderstruck
When she hears Brian Johnson’s vocals, she says WTF
She’s intrigued by their look and the video production
But they’re just a high energy band that needs no introduction
You absolutely nailed it with this one! 10 out of 10
@@DianeJennings See if you get a copy of "Let There Be Rock". You won't be disappointed.
the start of this song is my ringtone
As I recall, that singer was hired to replace the original singer who passed. And one of the main reasons is because his voice is remarkably similar to the original singer.
Loved your energy in this one! Made me smile big!
Ya!!! someone was explaining that below. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I enjoy the journey with you.
Your face perfectly summed up what I felt as a 5 year old when I first heard AC/DC! 48 years later, still one of my most favorite bands. So glad you enjoyed it!
We can all thank Butt-Head for starting the AC/DC t shirt fashion trend
Butt-head started it for a new generation perhaps, but by 1981 they were all over. I was at a concert, can’t remember who bc they were opening act, but singer had on AC/DC shirt. This was 1982-83.🙂
Umm no. The shirts were a common shirt decades before that
I was wearing one when I saw them on the Highway to Hell Tour that I got from the previous tour
Your reaction to first hearing Brian Johnson's voice is the price of gold.
Same reaction I had!
Glad you got to see this, glad you got a view of Angus Young's antics.
Please look further into this band's catalogue!
Love from the US!
Wish she would refer more to Bryan Johnsons vocals in this then bringing up Bonn Scott who wasn't part of this song
Thanks Diane! I enjoyed this song, and I like AC/DC’s music in general. They have a song “It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)” where Bon Scott plays the bagpipes which is pretty cool for a hard rock song. 😂
Oh wow! The bagpipes? That is super cool.
That would be because Angus and Malcolm Young were all born in Scotland - so bagpipes are their heritage.
@@angharaddenby3389 I did not know that. Thanks!
@@angharaddenby3389No, the producer learnt that Bon Scott was in a bagpipe band and wanted to include bagpipes in the song. Scott of course obliged, however he didn,t tell him he was a DRUMMER in a band!
The school uniform also pays homage to his old high school
I've gotten three speeding tickets while blasting this song in my Toyota Prius!!
This is one of those historic, iconic songs that even if you aren't familiar with, or a fan of AC/DC, or don't know the name of the song, you can't help but recognize the tune. It's quite literally everywhere.
Actually, you were not watching Bon Scott as the lead singer in that video. That was Brian Johnson. He was hired after the tragic passing of Bon Scott. Those guys are icons and legends. Rock gods.
Bon Scott. Saw AC/DC in Oakland coliseum in late 70’s before he died. It was awesome. He was the best! 🇺🇸
Saw them perform last Saturday and it was one of the best damn nights. I don’t care how old angus and Johnson is, they still put up a damn good show. Johnson still had his voice and angus still shredding . It felt surreal seeing them perform and still can’t believe I had the chance to see them.
Young girls facial reaction speaks volumes. Oooh, smile, amazement, smile lights up her face, reaction like the bands volume increases with each second.
@@alistairmacrae4870 young lady has had the most excited and amazed reaction than any she has done to date.
Diane- this is a great video selection. I am not a huge AC/DC fan, but this is one of their songs that I have always liked. This is always a great song to play in a stadium right before a big game…..definitely gets everyone fired up.
I can only imagine. It’s definitely not a song you could play at a low volume. 😂
@@DianeJennings hey hun, check out John Farnham and Tom Jones on a show called Hey Hey Its Saturday Australia
I never was a fan of AC/DC but how can someone not know one of the most well known heavy metal bands of all time.
She needed this for the algorithm. Also she need to improve her acting.
How can you not be a fan of one of the greatest rock songs in the history of music?!
ACDC is not a heavy metal band though? But yeah, she must have heard it before. It's everywhere even if you don't like it. On the radio, in films and series, in games even, commercials, instagram as tracks etc etc
Especially since they're in so many movies.
The entire soundtrack for Steven King’s Maximum Overdrive is AC/DC’s Who Made Who album❤❤❤
grew up with them as one of the best sounds. They did a gig in Knoxville Tennessee at the Thunder Dome. They were never allowed to play there again because they were so loud, they cracked the dome😲
I love her face and her beebopping up and down as "Rock -N- Roll " fills her with magic!
The look on your face as the band swung into action was priceless! You had me in tears I was laughing so hard.
Hey, awesome "first time" hearing reaction just so good we can watch your reaction non stop and then listen to your chat at the end. So much better than other first time vids. ✌
I live in Sarasota Florida and have had the pleasure of meeting Brian Johnson. What a nice guy , so down to earth and congenial. It truly is nice to be important but more important to be nice. Thanks Brian....and keep on rocking!
Diane, it’s so much fun watching you discover old music I’ve known for decades. It’s actually refreshing to see someone willing to listen to stuff they wouldn’t otherwise know. 🤘🏽
The greatest Aussie band ever! And one of the greatest rock bands of all time. My favourite band since high school when I first heard Highway to Hell. Rock on, Dianne, and Chewie!😂
yep 2 scots and a english man yep
@stevenfox6278 the Scots, Angus and Malcom Young, were born in Scotland, but their family moved to Australia when they were little kids. Yes, Brian Johnson is an English man. But, the band was formed in Melbourne and the band has always been based in Australia. Google AC-DC and it will say that they're an Australian band.
@@terryomalley1974 You can't just ignore the fact they were Scottish, Bon Scott too, and their brother George Young produced their early work. Of course they had Australian influences, but their love of music came from their family and their Scottish heritage/upbringing
Perhaps Scotstralian might be a good way to describe them
@SH-lm6ek I'll go with Scotstralian; however, Angus, Malcom and Bon Scott all lived in Australia since they were wee tots. You can tell be their accents in interviews.
@@SH-lm6ek Maybe , Scotgeordiealian !
Angus literally runs a marathon every live show.
I am coming up on 73, this song is one of my anthems... nothing on this earth will get you moving like Thunderstruck....
That’s okay, because I have never listened to a taylor swift song.
I actually love.. We are never ever getting back together by Taylor Swift but she makes the money and the good bands just make a living.. Like Acdc..
@@kayoss662 Taylor Who.????
Pure, high energy, no BS rock n roll. You cant help but rock out to them
This is a banger! I enjoyed seeing "Shocked Diane" again. You should also check out "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap" from their earlier incarnation, with Bon Scott on vocals. Brian Johnson was the vocalist here. He joined after Bon Scott's death. I liked both eras of the band.
What a very sad story. Ha ha, shocked Diane does seem to be recurring with these music reactions. I do like when it’s something unexpected.
Anytime I see the title "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," I lower my voice to sing it, and I sound like I've chain-smoked a hundred years. haha
My take on your review:
THANK YOU for playing the song all the way through, and commenting after. Too many reviewers and reactors interrupt the flow and energy of some of the greatest music ever... and in doing so crush the experience for viewers. Good job.
@@125AXer You are spot on!!!!!!
I love the history lessons with the music reactions from this channel Diane! Can’t hear this band without thinking of the high school football locker room pre-game “Ghetto Blaster” stereo. Their driving music was our first choice to turn nervousness into adrenaline confidence for a bunch of teenagers about to hit each other hard.
Oh wow! I can imagine that would be an awesome way to psych yourself up
I had so much fun watching you react hearing this song for the first time.😁 Brought back the same feelings I had when it was first released. Once it's in your head, you'll never get rid of it. It'll still be hot 100 years from now!
AC/DC has the jams. Thunderstrucks is one of their many jams. Their live concerts are really good. Thanks for sharing the journey of the awesome rock vibes to make Wednesday a very joyful day. Rock On! And Party On! 🎵🎸🎤
Rock on! Glad you enjoyed it Rickey!!
@@DianeJennings 🤘 Very Much The Energy of the song is a good way to start the weekend.
I'm 65 just love this music Acdc just brill
I grew up on listening to AC/DC and even went to some of there concerts... One of the all time favorites and yes I'm generation x 😁
Growing up in Australia, even in the early 2000s, AC/DC was the most music my brother and I listened too, there are a even more Australian Bands that are extremely popular as well such as Midnight Oil, INXS, Men at Work, Bee Gees, The Angels, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, Jet, Crowded House, Daddy Cool there’s so many bands that have created songs that are known worldwide.
The 80s & 90s Melbourne, Sydney & Newcastle culture created one of the most unique rock I think.
5:24 I’ve heard from several people that these guys are the best band to see live.
They are the best live. I have seen them 7 times.
Saw them in Berlin in 87.
Truth, have seen in Spain
Glad they focused in on the quite miraculous guitar work of Angus Young. To repeat that riff over and over again just shows that he is one of the best guitarists of all time. Oh yes great track as well.
This is one of the Iconic songs of GenX. The Dead, Pink Floyd, Steve Miller, Areosmith, Alice Cooper and yeah, AC/DC.
AC/DC are the most famous band in the world that you've never heard of. Creators of the 2nd-highest-selling studio album of all time (Back In Black) and unchallenged icons of Aussie music, but I imagine 90% of non-Australians these days won't even know them, even though they'll have undoubtedly heard their music somewhere or other (probably one of the MCU films, where Tony Stark was a big fan). It's time to educate yourself.
Sorry... Made In Scotland, Phil the drummer is from Australia, Brian and Cliff England, Young Brothers Glasgow.
Nah mate, 10% of people outside of OZ who are under 35 maybe. I’d say 80% of people 40 and over worldwide know who AC/DC is. If you are old e to have watched Beavis and Butthead on MTV then you know AC/DC. Wether you are in Rome, Tokyo, Houston, or London.
Their songs in about 6/15 movies..
Gone shooting ... beavis an butthead
Thunderstruck... Deadpool, Planes Fire Rescue... Varsity Blues paid $500k to use it..
TNT ... Talkedega Nights
Highway to Hell ... School a Rock.
Trash trash all he do make a bunch of useless crap 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Xabi-no5zf And Bon Scott born in Scotland.
I love Angus' playing at the first with one hand. He's so awesome!
That's incredibly tiring, as he is using constant hammer-ons and pull-offs.
@@RustyDust101 Yes it would be.,but you can watch him doing it at the first of the video. He holds one hand up above his he and while the other is playing on the neck.
@@xScooterAZx I had the incredibly good fortune to see them live in Hannover a few years back. In the intro, Angus played for nearly two minutes with hammer-ons and pull-offs.
I was just astounded. What a beast!
@@RustyDust101 I know. He is such a great guitarist! :}
@@RustyDust101 he does it for the video but it is actually all picked. You can hear it. It’s actually harder to pick.
AC/DC is so fantastic. Love Brians vocals. So raspy. You cannot listen to this song without some part of your body keeping time. So good
I think the best example of early ACDC you could listen to, with Bon Scott on vocals, is 'Touch Too Much'. I'm an old dude in Australia who remembers them playing the local YMCA club for $2 entry when they were getting started. Seeing you bop away to an Angus Young riff is contagious and heart warming. You will listen to more and more as you look into their back catalogue. Welcome to AccaDacca fandom.
Edit: What she probably does not realise is that the band members were most likely as old as her father when the music video was made.
Yeah & 2 of the original members are gone. Miss seeing them on Countdown
@@fabiwilliams4644 If your lucky you will see the all night binges on 'Rage' where they just play old episodes. Some of the music is great, some of it is still cringeworthy today. A lot of the very early episodes in the ABC vault were lost when some bean counting brainiac in ABC management in the 80's decided that it would be a good idea to tape over the previous episodes because the big beta video cassettes used were expensive. All the early stuff in B&W, with legends like Billy Thorpe, Zoot etc, were lost. Absolute tragedy!
$2 entry???😭😭😭 Last time I saw them it was $250USD!!! ...and worth every copper penny
@@woodrowsmith3400 In 1972 the average wage was about $75-$90 a week, so it was all relative. A new Chrysler RT Charger with all the goodies was about $3000, still just as unobtainable to me then, as they are now at $300,000 fully restored.
LOL. I get it. It was under twenty bucks to see them in '78. $9/hr was my wage then.
For unknown reason TH-cam led me to this article. This was my late father’s favourite band and his favourite song. Thanks for breaking it down, from comments I can see how rest of your audience enjoyed it too. God bless 🙏🏼
just remember kids, Angus Young can run around on stage like that live in every show and never miss a note. He is the Superman of guitars!
I always love watching people who grew up on monotonous, talentless rap music discover the golden age of Rock & Roll.
Any of this music, right down to the 50's beats rap hands down!
You name it!
Il love this song since 1990, but it could be fun to discover it in 2024. ❤❤❤❤❤
Whenever you hear the opening riff to this song in a movie you know something awesome is about to happen.
This is the most endearing reaction I've ever seen.
Need to hear Thunderstruck live in concert, when the ground rumbles like an earthquake
I'm 60 and I grew up when these bands hit it big and absolutely love the bands of the 60's, 70's and 80's when we had bands that became legendary. Welcome to our generation of music, enjoy it, I do.
You might want to check out their performance in 2009 at River Platt Stadium in Argentina. They played to about 70,000 people 3 nights in a row. It's an epic concert.
3:30 Thunderstrucked
The intro to Thunderstruck is one of the most iconic in music history. I can definitely buy that she didn't know AC/DC, but I knew there was no way she had not (at least) heard the into to this song.
I love the fact that you wait until after the video is over to give your thoughts!!! You really take the time to appreciate the music!!!
You really have to live under a huge rock all your life if you haven’t heard AC DC , radio, movies ,shows,ads , etc
You're right. All of the "first time reaction" videos are BS. Impossible not to hear it in your life, it's unavoidable.
If you had never heard this song before, you have not only never listened to radio before, but have also never been to a sporting event before.
Or a bar
She still doesn’t get it !
Inderdaad… that’s one of the greatest… would like more bass…. Oh my got… each time I hear it, I see “Mo” in the movie “battleship”
Absolutely love the true honest reaction to hearing this for the first time!, the wonder in your eyes when you first hear his rasp, well it just gave me goosebumps and a smile from ear to ear.❤ keep up the good work
0:27 don’t forget they’re from down under! 🇦🇺 🦘 🇳🇿 🥝
Acadaca! Loves it!! 🇦🇺
Total BS. As if Diane has never heard this song before. Thats not even possible.
Don’t you hate it when someone accuses you of lying without proof?
I saw them live in 1995 at Memorial Colliseum for the Razor Edge tour. They started the concert with this song. The lights went out and the Angus started his guitar lick and then in sync with the music strobe lights all around the rooftop perimeter. It was epic. The whole show was flawless.
It's so amazing ... to watch someone that was no where close to 1990.... react to this...She's probably a Taler bAby...
