Fan funded.
Why? What happened to him?
Only just found this video, great tribute to the legend Mr Bon Scott who i saw twice, i will definitely visit
bonfest.com is happening soon! Still tickets available. 29th April- 1st May
*ONE of the GREATEST SHOWMAN of our TIME..! Your SADLY MISSED... R.I.P... BON...!* :PEACE:🕊❤️😎
They need to make a desktop miniature. I would certainly buy one.
STARBREAKER71 yeah definetely
They just made a new Bon figurine
What a great idea..
At some point they should have statutes of Bon, Brian, Angus, Malcom, Cliff and Phill all together in Australia.
They most likely will once all of have passed away.
Not forgetting Mark Evans ay
❤ non Brian..que bon,et le groupe..
I was there in July , 2017 . Rest in peace dear Bon ... All the rock´n roll from Santiago de Chile !!! It´s a long way to the top if you wanna rock´n roll .
AC/DC for everybody. Bon Scott is a legend.
Thanks for sharing this moment with those who couldn't be there.
I recently did my pilgrimage to the bon scott statue with my good friend and his son great work the best front man ov all time let there be rock.... this is one statue they want be taking down RIP bon Scott
This is awesome I wish I could have been there!
Respect is knowing... thanks for not letting us hear anyone else trying to sing a bon song in this video... There's one voice one man bon Scott...
We have all grown old, only he is young as he used to be and he always will be RIP Bon
finally we get to see the statue and it's damned nice looking too. liked.
Best people celebrating the memory of the best singer of the best band. Best weekend I ever had. A lot of bests there! RIP Bon, and Malcolm, both true legends admired across all nations. 🤘🤟🤘🤟
Wonderfully put together, extremely respectful.
Bon Scott was, is sorely missed. For the band immediately became a caricature of itself, after Bon CLEARLY wrote most of Back in Black.
Angus, on the sly, acknowledging inasmuch long after Bon’s folks passed, the past 5 or so years in an interview.
Almost overnight the band becoming but another arena rock, fist pumping poser fanbase, eating up the not so clever, nor coy lyrics Bon was renown for writing, belting out.
Rock in Paradise, Bon.
Kirriemuir is a nice place to be!
Hope there was some Bon fans there from Fremantle or Perth Australia. Would love to have been there so much. Must say that statue looks really great, as good or even better then the one in Fremantle, Bon,s childhood town.
Going there tommorow for his birthday, well it was actually today. Been to Bonfest 3 times.
congratulations to one and all.. great stuff
Brought a tear to my eye :)
Long live the king.
From his surrogate hometown Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
Mark Evans!!!!! Class act! AWESOME!!!!
Excellent!
LEGENDA!!!
But he was ours 🇦🇺 Lol .... very moving to see how many still love him.
I Have to Agree. Yes his heritage was Scottish and he was proud, But he spent most of his life and live as An Australian. That’s where He and the young brothers gained their chops. Thank you Australia for giving us Bon 🤙🏾
@@shonchon588 yeah exactly and he always referred to Australia as back at home etc..not to mention he had the Aussiest accent and mannerisms around!
Dang wish I was there
Эванса сразу узнал,несмотря на прошедшие годы.Бодрячок!
Published on May 8th 2016!? Whaaaaaaatttttttt?????????
Of the time he was in Melbourne filming long way to the top. Australia’s greatest frontman
The mighty Bon!
"See me ride out of the sunset on your color TV screen"...
Ob 36 Jahre nach Brian J`s Tod auch ein Denkmal für ihn enthüllt wird? Ich glaube es kaum... Großartiger Mark Evans, der wahre Bassist von AC/DC.
Du nix verstehen?
*Rocker Supreme*
Fantastico Bon!!!!! 👍
That guitar riff though
People only love you when your 6 feet in the ground, from the words of Bon - I got holes in my shoes holes got holes in my teeth, ''ain't no fun waiting around to be a Millionaire'', which he never got to see..his Family should inherit - thanks for the tunes man, at least you're being recognized - they should of made him look "white" n not black wtf!? wish they'd build one for Ronnie Van Zant - Lynyrd Skynyrd- anyway, yeah, nice tho
beatleme, I beg to differ my friend. AC/DC was only on the cusp of hitting the big time when Bon left this mortal coil. Look at the success Brian Johnson has had.
"got myself a Cadillac,.....but I can't afford the gasoline" :) Down Payment Blues, that's all.
Great!!!
Excellent , I went too school with Bons cousins step kids and got too meet his mum in Freo best singer ever , & now there is statue his grave stone won't be stolen anymore from Fremantle cemetery went too Freo 3 times too pay my respects and every time some low wanker had stolen it .
Спасибо !!!!!!!
They should do a malcolm next to him
GREAT....
Now I want to watch Braveheart
do you know that the outfit he wear in "it's a long way to the top if yo wanna rock n, roll" in Family Jewels
bout time...
thank bonfest
Lenda do Rock todas homenagem ainda são pouca
Hallo, auuuhh, hey you in TV now so I yall to smile alright, Fondest memories
the first memorial was in place decades ago in his home town and burrial place PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
Get over it Bon Scott is Scottish. AC/DC are a Scottish Band. Just because Kylie Minogue came to England to start her pop career and lives in Chelsea doesn't make her English.
We thank scotland for sending his best like all the ones that came to call Australia home now,he's with us now
Midnight without You, LOL! Where did that Kylie Minoque bit come out of.
But it's true, Bon was born in Scotland which makes him Scottish!
Midnight without You he’s born in Scotland, but calls Australia home, acdc is an Australian band.
AC/DC was made in Australia, and all of the band members identified as Aussies so they are an Australian band
...and?
do i`ve to know where the statue is? what a project management!
....but greets from Vienna, still thumb up!
The statue is in Kirriemuir in Scotland. And here's our festival to Bon www.bonfest.com
Great! - Let there be rock...
Is tht Dave Evans in the hat? Didn't quite hear what his introduction was?
Too many speeches , they went for nearly 10 minutes. Just show us the bloody statue 🙄
Bon, Phil,Angus and Mal could have all been poster boys for the 'Typical' Aussie.
Idk about the “Aussie” part of it, but Angus has always come off as the most typical guy... ever. You seem him being a demon on stage, then in interviews he is so boring and just mumbles short replies inaudibly. Part of me was very disappointed to see how regular he is off stage lol.
Hardly saw anything of that statue.
Is Escocia ???
Trubuto a Genio!
Where’s Angus and Brian, Stevie and Cliff and Phil Rudd. They should of been there!
Feel sorry for the guy 50 yards away who is like “what is he saying, speak up”. Why not have a portable PA system.
Bon Scott may have been a Scot but he was Australian as well.....there should be a picture of Bon Scott next to the word legend in the dictionary.
Bon was proud of both his Scottish and Australian heritage, that's why he statues in both Kirriemuir and Freemantle. There aren't any other rock stars that have statues on opposite sides of the planet. And no arguments here about him being a legend!
Yes! Im number 666 likes. Finnaly!!!!
colll rock-dc
Staty so pridi
VENEZUELA
no
nice coverdale statue you got there..
What if Bon staged his own death just like Elvis. Jesse Fink seems to think that Bon was not happy with the band mainly Malcom, and didn’t want to tour anymore?????? 🤔🤔🤔
AC/DC have only produced shite since Bon Died,They should have called it a day after his death.
Who Made Who was good in fairness but after that..nah
I see hippies
Australian or Scotish .. Choose.
You do know that the nickname Bon came from "Scotland Forever"? And indeed Bon had that tattooed on his arm? Bon's first instrument were the drums in the Freemantle Scottish pipe band, and you might have heard of a little song called Long Way to the Top that he played bagpipes on? :) Bon was very proud of his Scottish roots. Yes he was Aussie though and through, but his heart was always in Scotland too.

THE STATUE OF HIM IN perth western australia has been there for decades.IT was his home town ,and his families home town ,its where he is buried .
