The Bon Scott era - the best rock and roll band ever, without a shadow of a doubt. True, there's some great tunes from the Brian Johnson era, but it's the early stuff that's the best, hands down.
...to me they're two different bands....bon's in the realm of a rock sam cooke...complete soul no matter what the topic....brians job is to sing a product..and I like brian...but bons on a whole different level due to being too humble to ever care to be a star...it wasn't his goal....grounded and proud to stay there...the very best.....
@@geraldek4948 Yeh, but did I say, Brian couldn't sing? No I did not. I think you'll find that - to judge from the comments - that Bon Scott's ACDC is judged to be the best by most people. But like I said, Brian Johnson's ACDC is still great, e.g. Back in Black, Flick of the Switch.
Nothing fake nothing plastic nothing rehearsed with bon scott all natural one of the greatest if not the greatest most natural front men of any band RIP
@@SmackWaterJack666You have great taste in singers . Every singer you mentioned I have all their albums . Of course we're talking about white rock blues singers and not the black singers because that would take all day. 🙏
@@SmackWaterJack666 Check out my favorite White Rock singers . Elvis. Robert plant. Terry Reid. Ian Gillian . Freddie Mercury. Steven Tyler. Paul McCartney. Paul Rodgers. Ray Gillan . David Cassidy . 🙏
Van Halen with Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony singing backup vocals was oretty Damn Awesome. It brought out the best of Eddie Van Halen. Check out. Spanked Live. And the other songs on that same concert. Yes of course I Loved AC/DC and i still do but you were talking about a Great Front man. Bon Scott. Yeah. You're right. He was Great
@@efilrekib4446Every time I listen to the soul group Sam & Dave, especially on the track “Hold on I’m coming” Those high vocals of Sam Moore, every time I hear that track I hear Bon. Two great singers. Sure miss Bon.🎶
Bon, to me…is right with Phil Mogg, Phil Lynot, Paul Rodgers, Freddie Mercury and Rob Halford are the greatest vocalists of at least the 70’s. Just looked up all of the songs that Bon wrote/co-wrote and the list is extensive…when you look at those songs, they fit perfectly with the lyrics on Back in Black. I am sure Bon had a massive part of writing the lyrics that Brian sang. Bon, I think, deserves most of the credit for the lyrics on BnB. Vocal tracks that you can listen to and pretty much understand what they are singing, w/o needing the liner notes/sleeve to read along with. Greatest impact on my life as a teenager n the mid to late 70’s. I did my final term paper in journalism class on Bon and that was early 80’s and w/o the information at my fingertips. Microfiche FTW baby! 🤘🤘🤘
They had nothing to do with punk rock anybody knows that , it was pure good straight up rock and roll music or hard rock . Rest in peace Bon and Malcolm !
The highlight of my Rock n roll life: I saw AC/DC with Bon Scott months before his tragic death, I had tickets to see Mahogany Rush/Frank Marino with a band I did not much about AC/DC, they burned the fucking sports arena down Most high energy show that I’ve ever seen LIVEWIRE is my #1 STICK THAT IN YOUR FUSEBOX I’m 62
@HUNDREDACREWOOD. Bon wrote all the lyrics and after he died the songs weren't as good. All the classic ac/dc songs, apart from a handful, are Bon Songs. Yet without Angus and Malcom the music wouldn't have been as good. Team effort and all that.
@@RobQos Hell, yeah! Team work! They really were better with Bon; listening to his lyrics you`d think he was a rogue wrestler, convict, pimp, hitman, gangster, thug from hell, lol! Someone worse than Alex (Malcolm McDowell) in A Clockwork Orange, lol! Bon was a great writer!
@@SmackWaterJack666 Bon wrote the lyrics to the songs. The songs were nowhere near as good after he died. Angus dying would have been a huge, huge blow. But Malcom could solo and carry on writing thd music. But maybe they would be nowhere near as good. Honest answer is no one knows.
I think every song on their albums could be considered a single, I've never heard a bad ACDC song, they're all number 1 hits as far as their fans are concerned (IMO).
R.I.P Bon Scott aka Ronald Belford Scott the man, the myth, and the king. Bon lived, breathed, and was Rock and Roll. He was Rock and Roll. He had a cute talking voice but a sexy badass singing voice.
What made ACDC was Angus's amazing Blues solos and the coolest guitar hooks and riffs. No one was playing like Angus and then to top it off with his Chuck Berry guitar walk and all out crazy rolling around just capped it. You were blown away and a fan forever. ACDDC!! For some reason ACDC is best listened to travelling down the Highway on a Road Trip.
that's what it looked like, for sure. Angus running around the stage being the attraction, the *spectacle* of the show. the hyper guitarist in the school uniform getting noticed. you have to have the "spectacle" if you want to be "spectacular", and Angus got them through the door. Malcolm kept them there, nailed to the spot with the best damn rock and roll rhythm guitar in the world. Malcolm's right foot was AC/DC's heartbeat, the band died with him, you can't live without a heartbeat. the body is still twitching, but Accadacca are gone, it's just the nervous system shutting down.
@@michaelthompson4949 it's common knowledge Bon was a Satanist. fairly sure he was a member of the church of Satan. it wasn't a secret, you don't get to have a "gotcha" moment over something someone freely admitted.
Well, Johnny Winter was playing some mean BLUES riffs and FAST too. However, NOBODY played with the HIGH ENERGY, the INTENSITY of Angus. IF it had been Angus who died, that would have been it. ANGUS WOULDN'T ALLOW AC/DC to DIE!
My First concert was Cheap Trick and the Rockets in 1979, Jax Fla .. Then my second was AC/DC , Mothers Finest, Jax Fla... I got to walk around backstage while they were playing..14 years old.. Highway to hell tour.. Totally!! Then They came back the next year with Brian and Back in Black and it didn't feel the same to me.. I'll always be a Bon Scott dude...
I KNOW the feeling, all HOLLOW. To KNOW that Bon had RECORDED You SHOOK me (ALL NIGHT LOOONG) but his voice was ERASED from that track not to mention all of the others. I understand the rerecording with BJ but NOT the erasing of HISTORY!
I also remember the day Bon Scott died. A friend called me on the telephone and said he had just heard it on the radio. I was so sad because I had seen Bon live twice with AC/DC and he was so full of energy and life on stage.
I was in my early 20’s when I found out AC/DC had a different lead singer.. I’m in my mid 30’s now and I’ve gone down the rabbit hole… IMO Bon Scott, is one of the greatest frontman of all time… also Brian Johnson is probably the greatest replacement of a frontman ever… BUT he can’t lace Bons Shoe… furthermore listening to Bons writing style.. there’s NO GODDAMN WAY he didn’t write back in black…
I grew up in the 60's, I saw AC DC emerge and was a musician myself, and still am hehehehe, Bon scott gave the taste to the grooves which I think structured Pub Rock for Australia, the rest is obvious as it is now history in Aussie Music, it was a sad sad day when Bon Scott passed, as it is with the passing of Malcolm Young, RIP fellars
Bon left a legendary legacy with one of the greatest rock bands in history...probably the most consistent live rock band in history...I love the Jailbreak and Let There Be Rock videos.
Every time I listen to Bon it reminds me of much better times when folks were real and a whole lot nicer to each other, wonder why good times don't last Bon???
Jail break video is truly a masterpiece in it's time,,saw it once as a young rebel n knew rite away this is the freakin band for me,,45yrs later lm still Riding On keeping straight on Highway to Hell
A man Bon SCOTT was real rocker who write lots of real good fights and how to get a bird he was real Star man who have been on the streets real rocker real Star he said I'm not a star my mates are Sometimes I see star's he said out what he was umbel man who is one of thouse star's In the sky great man great SInger and great streets walking man🇫🇮🏴✊👊😜
Bon Scott will always be the best lead singer , period!❤ AC/DC , hands down the best rock concert i have or will ever attend.!! You are sadly missed Bon #Rock God
RIP Bon Scott! Greatest front man ever. Gone too soon. You imagine the songs they would have done if he hadn't passed. And then you think of the songs that wouldn't have been recorded with Brian replacing Bon. Rock of my youth!❤
Helps me remember how much I love growing up an Aussie in the 70s/80s. I used to watch countdown as a little kid on the farm and Jailbreak was simply the coolest thing I'd ever seen.
Bon Scott was one of the greatest rock music vocalists and lyricists in the world in his era in AC/DC. One of the best parts of this video/film is at 11:21 when Bon addresses interviewer Ian 'Molly' Meldrum's insistence AC/DC should produce singles...I just love Bon's facial expressions and his insistence AC/DC is NOT a singles band...it is an ALBUM band...we're a ROAD ALBUM band singles don't mean a pinch to anybody you know in OUR band...there's no sense in them...' Bon Scott was a very intelligent man make no error. He knew the rock music industry business very well. He understood world/international music markets. He knew the difference in the music markets of both London/Britain, and Australia well and how it affected on AC/DC. So make no error Bon Scott had an excellent business head.
This band helped to define my youth between the ages of 15 and 17. They came to Launceston in Tasmania twice in the seventies, don't know what effect they may have had on my peers but they helped set me on a path of music and debauchery, for which i will be forever grateful.
Actually Simmons was really good to ACDC. Simmons knew how great they were and said it. And took the risk of giving them exposure as a back up, and obviously up staging them.
Lol, love the get ups they're wearing in jail break video. Angus looks like his got his pyjamas on 😂They never gave a shit, just always had fun. Glad im Aussie and saw them so many times. ❤❤
I went to australia for 90 days in 1979-80 to visit all my dads family and meet all our distant relatives. I was only 7 or 8 years old but my most vivid memory is my cousins playing ACDC records for us all day and night. They were very proud of that bands impact on the world.
@@efilrekib4446 Australia made AC⚡️DC, AC⚡️DC couldn’t have come from anywhere else - Angus Young I have Scottish blood, but I’m Aussie like AC⚡️DC, can’t tell we Scottish in anyway unless you were told. Just listen and look - they are Aussies alright. Also when they first started there were 3 Aussies.
@@efilrekib4446 You forgot the Aussie before Cliff, Mark who got fired for punching one of the young’s, my guess it was Malcolm. Anyway, you seem to still not get it, so I’ll leave ya with it.
I'm not sure if punched anyone, but if it was it would have been Angus. Those two did not get on and there cam only be one winner in that scenario. Cliff was a better bass player, regardless. I reckon George did most of the bass during the time Evans was in the band.
@@kevinhisee4265 Yeah I’m not sure where I got that info of him punching one of the young’s, it was along time ago. I tried to find it but no go, so I’ll never be repeating that again, I swear I thought Mark himself said it. You’re right it would have most likely have been Angus, and apparently Malcolm had a punch on him fi the story is true him knocking out Geezer from Sabbath. Oh! Yeah George was pretty good on bass ay, - Squealer.
Bons voice is one of those that's so unique that you recognize it immediately. I've always wished that I could hear Bon singing Back in Black and For those About to Rock... And with modern AI, i think I can 🤔
The greatest! The one and only! Never to be replicated or matched. A real band of real rockers on a real highway to the history books. Thanks for a great compilation 😎🎸👍
All these years and Cliff has never missed a beat. All these years,absolute perfection with a formula that has worked and continues to work. The ONLY Rock band to stay true to their roots. Absolute legends.
it's amazing, the was angus always uses raw power and lets his guitar catch feedback, or how he suddenly cuts it so that everybody hears the echo of his cut as the marshall power wall suddenly stop between his solo. That's really amazing. Not to mention the whole rock attitude, sexual drive and all. They are just steamrolling over you
I was in USAF basic training when Bon died, we sang Highway to Hell on our squad-run that next morning, RIP, rock will never be this great again. Imagine that run in cadence, "Livin' easy, hut hut, lovin' free, hut hut..." it was so intense.
Bon, you were a special man, with a heart that no man could ever have. You were different, but sweet to the people around you. You were a farther, the lead singer of ACDC, and had a family. ❤Rest In Peace Bon❤ -abby😢😢
I'm in the bon camp my older brother turned me on to all the classic bon albums!!! Nothing against Brian but after back and black that did it for me. I respect the talent but with every bon album they reinvented the wheel over and over again with great success in my eyes!! Just my two bits
Somewhere l have a cassette recorded off the TV when Bon and Angus were on a local cable show here in Atlanta called 'The Entertainment Page' on WTCG which later became CNN! Hosted by the coolest guy in the world, who happened to be named Jim Morrison. This was Atlanta cable TV in 1978, bands that came through would come on the show and take phone calls and so on. Just a wonderful time. I think my brother is on there asking them a question. I remember Angus mumbling 'any women out there?' Man, those were the days. Period. No days after 1979 for rock fans. A kid 18 years old could not conceptualize a show live on "TV", and you could call and talk to one of your heroes. I thank whoever is In Charge that l was born when l was.
Bonn was definitely the right lead man for ACDC. When you watch their 1st guy Dave Evans in the "Can I sit next to you vid" you can tell that he was more fit for the bay city rollers. His feminine moves are the opposite of what's needed for the Young bros. Bon was perfect, and you have to hand it to Brian for "Always" showing respect for him, and (in his shoes) it had to have gotten old as many times as he probably heard how great Bon was, but he always kept a smile. He's a dude that's comfortable in his own skin.
I was 14 I think and in high school on the South Coast of NSW , when this outfit came over to do the college circuits .....it was The Valentines with Bon Scott on vocals....a perfect nobody at that time and singin' pop songs to boot ! My mates told me I even shook hands and exchanged a few words with the future legendary frontman , but I remember very little coz I was downright drunk !!! Little did I know that he would become the frontman of the greatest rock band to roam the planet....AC/DC ❤❤❤❤❤
I was 9 years old when for the first time I've heard Highway to hell to the radio. It was the 1979 and it was a blast for me. What a voice, what a sound, what a rock!
Bon just seems like he would be so much fun to hang out with. He draws you in with a hillbilly charm. Its total charisma and he has it in spades. So sad how it turned out. Love Bon.
I remember a buddy had a bootleg copy of "Dirty Deeds" in like 79-80 ? And we wore it out, in the midst of punk and disco and new wave, Bon Scott gave us back Rock and Roll.
The best front man bar none and Powerage still the best AC/DC album there is. Never bought anything of theirs or went to see them after Bon died because what was the point. Still miss him.
Same. I tried hard to take the switch but it never stuck. Even if they'd waited a year was never the same, but the time frame was disgusting IMO. I never got over it.
That was cool...sure do miss those days when AC/DC was fresh and forging they're way to the top...the 77/79 era was and, is the the best; the opitamy of what was to come but, unfortunately wasn't to be....god damn it Bon 😥.....gone but not forgotten
Bon Scott was a badass dude! The original vocalist for AC/DC who created the distinctive sound of one of the most funky and rocking bands in music history! He had a lot of soul! He reminded me of the great pioneer of rock and roll Little Richard.
One singer kept the band Alive and going for decades. RIP Bon and Respect to Brian.
The Bon Scott era - the best rock and roll band ever, without a shadow of a doubt. True, there's some great tunes from the Brian Johnson era, but it's the early stuff that's the best, hands down.

Brian had big shoes to fill. He did a great job. But there was and will be only one Bon Scott!
I don't think Brian Johnson wrote any songs, he sucks anyway
@@geraldek4948 Yeh, but did I say, Brian couldn't sing? No I did not. I think you'll find that - to judge from the comments - that Bon Scott's ACDC is judged to be the best by most people. But like I said, Brian Johnson's ACDC is still great, e.g. Back in Black, Flick of the Switch.

Every song with Bon Scott singing and the first two albums of Brian’s - all classic, all great, all killer no filler

Love Song is pretty terrible as is Show Business. The rest all are fantastic.
@@kevinhisee4265 I disagree. Both of those are Scott era classics

Without a doubt!!
Still love Brian Johnson!!!!!
But yeah Bon Scott was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Brian Johnson too. Both are two of the greatest front men ever IMO. There’s something bout bon
Bon commentaire mais désolé le meilleur c'est bon Scott ya pas photo

Grew up in the 70s and 80s in the USA, envious of you to of seen these guys starting out. Best rock band ever!
Bon Scott was one of the greatest rock music vocalists and lyricists in the world in his era in AC/DC. One of the best parts of this video/film is at 11:21 when Bon addresses interviewer Ian 'Molly' Meldrum's insistence AC/DC should produce singles...I just love Bon's facial expressions and his insistence AC/DC is NOT a singles band...it is an ALBUM band...we're a ROAD ALBUM band singles don't mean a pinch to anybody you know in OUR band...there's no sense in them...' Bon Scott was a very intelligent man make no error. He knew the rock music industry business very well. He understood world/international music markets. He knew the difference in the music markets of both London/Britain, and Australia well and how it affected on AC/DC. So make no error Bon Scott had an excellent business head.
You nailed it... genius level.
This band helped to define my youth between the ages of 15 and 17. They came to Launceston in Tasmania twice in the seventies, don't know what effect they may have had on my peers but they helped set me on a path of music and debauchery, for which i will be forever grateful.
Right the fuck on, man!
an articulate charismatic conversationalist
-"Tell me the bass player´s name from Kiss"
-"I don't know"
Hahahaha... Gene Simmons Ego's on fire!!
I love that too.... 🙉🙈🙊
Actually Simmons was really good to ACDC. Simmons knew how great they were and said it. And took the risk of giving them exposure as a back up, and obviously up staging them.
Gene was good to them cuz he knew they'd draw more money to his pocket! 🎱🏴☠️
How right you are Gene is no fool absolutely knows money lol

Lol, love the get ups they're wearing in jail break video. Angus looks like his got his pyjamas on 😂They never gave a shit, just always had fun. Glad im Aussie and saw them so many times. ❤❤
I went to australia for 90 days in 1979-80 to visit all my dads family and meet all our distant relatives. I was only 7 or 8 years old but my most vivid memory is my cousins playing ACDC records for us all day and night. They were very proud of that bands impact on the world.

Australia made AC⚡️DC, AC⚡️DC couldn’t have come from anywhere else - Angus Young
I have Scottish blood, but I’m Aussie like AC⚡️DC, can’t tell we Scottish in anyway unless you were told.
Just listen and look - they are Aussies alright.
Also when they first started there were 3 Aussies.
@@efilrekib4446
You forgot the Aussie before Cliff, Mark who got fired for punching one of the young’s, my guess it was Malcolm.
Anyway, you seem to still not get it, so I’ll leave ya with it.
I'm not sure if punched anyone, but if it was it would have been Angus. Those two did not get on and there cam only be one winner in that scenario. Cliff was a better bass player, regardless. I reckon George did most of the bass during the time Evans was in the band.
@@kevinhisee4265
Yeah I’m not sure where I got that info of him punching one of the young’s, it was along time ago.
I tried to find it but no go, so I’ll never be repeating that again, I swear I thought Mark himself said it.
You’re right it would have most likely have been Angus, and apparently Malcolm had a punch on him fi the story is true him knocking out Geezer from Sabbath.
Oh! Yeah George was pretty good on bass ay, - Squealer.
@@SirSSau They have Aussie accents so that clinches it for me.
How does this not have millions of views?!
The best vocalist.
Bons voice is one of those that's so unique that you recognize it immediately. I've always wished that I could hear Bon singing Back in Black and For those About to Rock... And with modern AI, i think I can 🤔
Please some how share with me if you do
I got to see Bon on the 1979 Highway to Hell tour in Houston ,Texas. I was a senior in high school. 😎
As big a fan as I was I never got to see them, and then AC〽️DC died😞
The greatest! The one and only! Never to be replicated or matched. A real band of real rockers on a real highway to the history books.
Thanks for a great compilation 😎🎸👍
Imitation is the best form of flattery. Often imitated, never replaced. Bon was the best. Always missed.
Unlike many ego driven rock-stars today Bon Scott was a kool dude😎 R.I.P.
All these years and Cliff has never missed a beat. All these years,absolute perfection with a formula that has worked and continues to work. The ONLY Rock band to stay true to their roots. Absolute legends.
it's amazing, the was angus always uses raw power and lets his guitar catch feedback, or how he suddenly cuts it so that everybody hears the echo of his cut as the marshall power wall suddenly stop between his solo. That's really amazing. Not to mention the whole rock attitude, sexual drive and all. They are just steamrolling over you
Brian was good on Back n Black.... but i would have loved to hear Bon sing those songs. Especially since he wrote them
Better times......thanks for the music Bon
I was in USAF basic training when Bon died, we sang Highway to Hell on our squad-run that next morning, RIP, rock will never be this great again. Imagine that run in cadence, "Livin' easy, hut hut, lovin' free, hut hut..." it was so intense.
My man Malcolm. The best right hand in the business, the lord of riff, the heartbeat of AC/DC.
Malcolm the Riffmeister
He was a Dedicated Musician always was. He was always trying for something new. Something hadn’t been done. Rip Bon. The Metal King
He would hate that "metal" thing. Just rock
Bon, you were a special man, with a heart that no man could ever have. You were different, but sweet to the people around you. You were a farther, the lead singer of ACDC, and had a family. ❤Rest In Peace Bon❤ -abby😢😢
That's The AC/DC I grew up with.
I'm in the bon camp my older brother turned me on to all the classic bon albums!!! Nothing against Brian but after back and black that did it for me. I respect the talent but with every bon album they reinvented the wheel over and over again with great success in my eyes!! Just my two bits
Saw them in concert with Bon. Had Angus on shoulders and walked up into crowd while he played guitar
Same. Probably the same tour. I want to say late 70’s. Blew me away. Too bad he was a raging drunk.
@@steverobinson3414 i think in Atlanta
@@MrTexxan8 Mine was Fort Worth, TX
I saw em in Whoredessa...wait,nope Midland TX. Sept 1979. Loudest frickin' concert,too
RIP ICONS FOREVER Thank you very much GOD bless Everyone Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia ❤❤❤
One of the great singer crowned with an amazing bluesy voice
AC DC is a rare band in that they had 2 killer singers and kept it going. That said DIrty Deeds is probably the greatest rock album of all time
Dirty Deeds is great but OMG the Powerage album is probably one of the best rock albums EVER!
you meant powerage.
Dirty Deeds is hugely underrated . Largely unknown outside of Australia but we fuckin love it
The best rock n roll singer of my youth that many French like me have never forgotten. RIP bon !
....fun fact.......during the LTBR video...Bon actually broke his foot jumping off the riser.......
Yes, watch it carefully, you can see that jump is not going to end well.
Long Way down it looks like
Somewhere l have a cassette recorded off the TV when Bon and Angus were on a local cable show here in Atlanta called 'The Entertainment Page' on WTCG which later became CNN! Hosted by the coolest guy in the world, who happened to be named Jim Morrison. This was Atlanta cable TV in 1978, bands that came through would come on the show and take phone calls and so on. Just a wonderful time. I think my brother is on there asking them a question. I remember Angus mumbling 'any women out there?'
Man, those were the days. Period.
No days after 1979 for rock fans.
A kid 18 years old could not conceptualize a show live on "TV", and you could call and talk to one of your heroes.
I thank whoever is In Charge that l was born when l was.
Rock "n" Roll bagpipes ,gotta love it.
Love the sparks in Bon's eyes. Such a loss.
King of Rock
Thank you for the upload cheers from Budapest
Bonn was definitely the right lead man for ACDC. When you watch their 1st guy Dave Evans in the "Can I sit next to you vid" you can tell that he was more fit for the bay city rollers. His feminine moves are the opposite of what's needed for the Young bros. Bon was perfect, and you have to hand it to Brian for "Always" showing respect for him, and (in his shoes) it had to have gotten old as many times as he probably heard how great Bon was, but he always kept a smile. He's a dude that's comfortable in his own skin.
"And (this is) way overdue" Great job Conn. Keep rockin!
Bon is so missed. Such a unique voice. Best rock n roll singer, hands down. AC/DCs music is timeless.
Wow!Super film👏Whole forty minutes with BON💖 !!!!!
Glad you liked it.
Not only the best leadsinger but also a wonderful human being.
Love you, Bon❤
This is More Than a Documentary it's more like a Respectful Look Into Bons Life and a Deep Dive Into Rock and Roll
I was 14 I think and in high school on the South Coast of NSW , when this outfit came over to do the college circuits .....it was The Valentines with Bon Scott on vocals....a perfect nobody at that time and singin' pop songs to boot ! My mates told me I even shook hands and exchanged a few words with the future legendary frontman , but I remember very little coz I was downright drunk !!! Little did I know that he would become the frontman of the greatest rock band to roam the planet....AC/DC ❤❤❤❤❤
Should have called it “Holes in me shoes”.
Man what a great band love all of AC/DC'S albums there sound is so damn great
LOVE AC/DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best bands ever!!!!!!!!!!!
AC/DC was my 1st concert ever!!!!!!
Why does no one talk about how sweet he was?
I was 9 years old when for the first time I've heard Highway to hell to the radio. It was the 1979 and it was a blast for me. What a voice, what a sound, what a rock!
Best performance ever!!
The best 3 cord rock & roll band that will ever live.
Bon just seems like he would be so much fun to hang out with. He draws you in with a hillbilly charm. Its total charisma and he has it in spades. So sad how it turned out. Love Bon.
I remember a buddy had a bootleg copy of "Dirty Deeds" in like 79-80 ? And we wore it out, in the midst of punk and disco and new wave, Bon Scott gave us back Rock and Roll.
The best front man bar none and Powerage still the best AC/DC album there is. Never bought anything of theirs or went to see them after Bon died because what was the point. Still miss him.
Same. I tried hard to take the switch but it never stuck. Even if they'd waited a year was never the same, but the time frame was disgusting IMO. I never got over it.
Still the best era but... your loss
Mr. Nice Guy and a truly Bad Boy, all in one!
A bow to you, magic Bon❤
The greatest Rocksinger of all time
That was cool...sure do miss those days when AC/DC was fresh and forging they're way to the top...the 77/79 era was and, is the the best; the opitamy of what was to come but, unfortunately wasn't to be....god damn it Bon 😥.....gone but not forgotten
Bon Scott was a badass dude! The original vocalist for AC/DC who created the distinctive sound of one of the most funky and rocking bands in music history!
He had a lot of soul! He reminded me of the great pioneer of rock and roll Little Richard.
Not the original vocalist of AC/DC
@RodCalidge
Is there another vocalist other than Bon Scott and Brian Johnson that matters in AC/DC dude?!
@@zroy9263 Dave Evans likes to think so.
my mom is 80 and she loves this like me
