    i love Bon, he laid out the blueprint and always told you in his lyrics “its okay ive been there too.” Rock N Roll aint easy. Ppl don’t understand and the struggle to express yourself through music is so real.

    You can hear the emotion in Irene's voice & her love for Bon all these years later. That must be a strange feeling for her to have lost him so long ago yet have his voice & music forever around her. Thank you, Irene & RIP Bon.

    Makes me wonder if she ever met Brian Johnson of AC/DC. And if she did, if she liked him. I'm pretty sure she is familiar with his input into the legendary band. I wish that the interviewer had asked about Brian. Nevertheless, great clip!

    Good news for ACDC fans Bon Scott is alive and well but under a different alias he is actually Colin Hay of "Men at Work". He just had to hangup his image and identity with ACDC. He hated being on tour and on the road for long periods at a time. He wanted to make music on his own terms and likewise perform on the road at his own conveinience! What are the odds both are Australian and though there looks like a difference in their date of birth which is a common practice when receiving a new identity. Just like how Morgan Freeman is Jimi Hendrix and Lady Gaga is Amy Winehouse. And what do all three of these people have in common they came on the scene right after these legendary Icons had supposedly passed on! And the song itself "Back in Black" if you listen closely even though Brian Johnson sang it after the so call passing of Bon Scott it sounds like he is describing how he was to make his grand departure and exit from the band with the following statement in the lyrics "Back in black I hit the sack" (He is describing how he would be found deseased in his sleep, and "I am back, yes I am back" he is celebrating his breaking away from the Band and celebrating his freedom and Independence and returning back to his life on the streets!

    Being that he was only 5 feet tall and 120 lbs sopping wet, it probably didn't take much for him to overdose on alcohol .

    l remember hearing a story when l was younger that Bon was extremely drunk and to try and sober him up his mates put him in a cold shower and left him there his very tight jeans dried on him and tightened around his waist and he died because of that and alcoholic poisoning

    Thanks for That. What a shame Bon died like that. I had a boss who didnt drink because his father passed out drunk on the front lawn and froze to death. I quit drinking after realising how much time i wasted recovering and how poisonous alcohol is. The 'system' is parasitic and profits from our illness and poor choices. It gets rich when we die Cestui Que Vie 1666

  • @mysticalmisfit33

    Why would an interviewer waste time and her energy going on about things we already know?! We know how he died. We know his jobs and previous bands, his upbringing, why would you ask her when she didn't experience it?? Why wouldn't you take the time to interview HER about their relationship and memories?? I wasn't gonna comment this until she was asked how he died. That's fuckshit. Why would you ask her how he died. Fuckshit
