Thank you for supporting both Irene and our small music publishing business!
She seems like a right decent person, I hope she's had and continues to have a great life.
Yes, she is. Great lady and amazing wife to Bon.
@@robertcubinelli4961 ex wife. he ditched that hoe before he died. and now shes trying to make money off of the man that left her after he died. nasty woman
She’s a really nice person! She is in fact my auntie!
It’s always the “decent” women who end up with the drug fucked losers…
As a huge AC/DC fan and a bigger fan of the Bon Scott Era I would like to say thank you to Ms. Irene Thorton for doing that interview and giving fans more insight on and about the greatest frontman in AC/DC and one the greatest frontmen in rock history Bon Scott. R.I.P BON SCOTT 1946-1980 🤘🤘
Foi o maior, divertido e unico
nothing she says can be trusted. she lies for money and is trying to make money off of a man that left her before his death.
Think you just about nailed it .I happen to think Noddy Holder of Slade is thee greatest front man, But Bon has to be the most worldly no 1 front man of all time. and in third place, Paul Rodgers of course.
Have a drink on me,
TOP READ.
JAHBLESS SOULJAH.
Nothing more to say really, you nailed it 😎
She was gorgeous looking no wonder Bon hooked up with her ❤️🔥😊
I totally agree. When the clip started I tought: "She`s still beautiful, she must`ve been SMOKIN` HOT in her youth." And so she was :)
Saw AC/DC live at Göta Lejon in Stockholm -79 that was an awesome experience.
She was an absolute stunner back then.
She's still lovely in this interview friend! I could imagine her unleashing in Bon when he pissed her off
she has a great voice which remembers me of "my" Irene.
very, very beautiful woman, and very real.
thumbs up, bon.
This is very Australian. Daughter: "He's been in jail." Mum: "But he's lovely!" 😊
Not really..
Women's logic...
Beautiful when she was young and she's still a good looking, classy lady at her age.
To be so close to Bon, so treasure you and your words
..true❤
Bon was such a great lyricist. So underrated by many and revered by many too.
I totally agree with that. The lyrics to ”Live wire” makes me feel invincible. #ripbonscott
That was a great interview, and what a sweet lady.
Bon Scott, best rock lead singer ever, and an equally talented songwriter.
R.I.P Bon Scott.
You dont talk et in reverse ?
“No, Bon was never a trouble-maker…….but he’d always be the first to jump into a fight.” 😂
Thank you, dear Irene Thornton. ☮️❤️
What a wonderful sounding person. Extremely classy !!
We all miss him too Irene. Thank you for sharing your memories of the greatest front man in rock to ever grace the stage.
if this class act of a lady falls in love with Bon , then it just adds to his legend...Bon was as rock and roll as it got
I think Bon was quite intelligent guy when you heard him talking, and this lady seems very intelligent too. They made a good couple - it was unfortunate it never worked out. I grew up on these songs.
Fantastic that Bon listened to Free, my personal favourite band. A man of taste and great talent, a really sad loss.
What a lovely soul. They don't make them like that anymore.bless you Irene
wow..such a nice lady.
That i never seen this interview before.
She’s a lovely lady,beautiful today and a knockout back in her day. Bon was lucky to have her.....too bad it didn’t work out. Who knows, maybe he’d still be alive if they would have stayed together. R.I.P. Bon, we love and miss ya. Even though it was through a video, it was cool to see your wife. Just another piece of your life us fans get to see.
Such a sweet, intelligent, pretty lady....then and now.
Bon the greatest Singer in Rock.
At least to you and I!
Behind every powerful man is a powerful woman!
Could not agree more!
@brightbite And behind her is his wife!
As they say, “Every man owes his success to his first wife. Every man owes his second wife to his success” 😆
She is a hip, hip, hip lady man.
Bollocks!
Ride On Bon I was only 9yrs old when you passed but I remember you well I still can recall my Gramps taking me to K-Mart to buy the live recording of "If You Want Blood You've Got It" on vinyl thanks for the insight into Bon Scott the Man 👍🎤
I was 9 also in 1980
What year were you born if you don’t mind me asking. I’m thinking we’re around the same age is all ?
If You Want Blood... one of the best rock/metal live albums ever.👍
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 definitely 👍
You can see why Bonn wrote down payment blues !
What a lovely lady.
The greatest rocknroll singer song writer of all time also had great taste in beautiful women, bless you n thank you sweet lady xx he needed you to get to the top
peter thats a bit of a stretch, greatest singer songwriter LOL
@@WINFIELD120 i mean its all opinion based
@@WINFIELD120 snore, U have no idea
@@peterkennedy5674 Bet you think your shit don't stink.
Bon is a god of rock músic.
Bon lives in The brazilian heart. I loved this Interview.
Nice lady and great man Bon , never forgotten
Never take candy from strangers...unless it's Bon Scott. Really nice interview, Bon was the real deal. His demons caught up with him. Typically on the verge of huge success. AC/DC will always mean Bon Scott, even though Brian did a great job filling those big shoes. Thank you for this.
Sending her a hug.
I saw AC/DC with Bon Scott in 1978 and 79 in Wolverhampton England. And in 2018 i met this lovely lady togther with Bons long time Girlfriend Mary Renshaw at a ACDC fan meeting in Geiselwind in Germany. It was strange to see Bon back then and then to meet his wife over 35 years later. They were both very normal lovely people. They have both written an autobiography about their lives with Bon. please buy the book. It is very entertaining reading.
cheapdirt07 how lucky are you to C the best band in the world with the greatest singer ever U lucky bugger
I saw them on the Powerage tour, OPENING for UFO. I was 13. I’m into the Bon era of the band, but basically lost interest in anything after Back In Black.
@@natashanyxx9486 yep, thats precisely when I left. but Back in Black was pretty good.
A lovely lady , very honest and genuine
not at all
There was never a frontman quite like him. The sheer swagger. Kirriemuir is a tiny, red sandstone town (strangely enough in the Angus region). It's a beautiful town. Its other famous son, JM Barrie, wrote Peter Pan. From the many interviews and accounts of Bon, he came over as a lovely person.
She's all class.....
Irene Thornton - an absolute class act. That London experience with all the girls working 2 jobs and the boys out boozing and only playing the occasional gig.
💞💔😒🤩I wish you the best Irene!
She has been like an angel, in Bon's life. Too much good with such a wild character he had.
he left her bum ass. still trying to make money off of him after his death
Great interview and her honesty at the end is sad but so true. RIP Bon , what a talent !
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.
What an extraordinary lovely person, I can fully understand Bon falling in love with her!
What a totally genuine human being! Still stunningly beautiful!! What great memory`s she has.
She’s not stunning, she’s an old woman, that’s not what that word means
@@missyb9438 does differing opinions always bother you?
@@missyb9438 If you live long enough, you too will be an old woman someday!
Its sad the Bon Scotts wife had to suffer when Bon Scott died
yeah
This is anyone when anyone does, they suffer…
What incentive and honest answers to those questions about the great man! well done ,and thank you my lady 🤗 xxx
What a Classy Lady. Bless.
The Volts interview. Bon said “I was in love once but she left me” ..I wonder if he was talking about Irene?
Thanks 4 all mrs irene we love u so much. Energy of bon never die.
Beautiful interview with a beautiful woman, grateful she wd even do this interview...and ?'s are pinpoint and succinct! Definitely not filmed in the States, where I live
Scott will be the best singer of the world to me. Unfortunately he's singing and laughing in heaven but looking at us all long time. Perfect singer. Good man.
He’s not in heaven😉
@@missyb9438 I guarantee you don't know where he is, and you may not go where you think you will when your time comes.
A very patient woman !
Would have been a great support and confidant perfect 👌
Great to hear her side of the story very interesting she still loves him deep down .the man was wild an free you can't tame men like Bon .she sounds like a lovely lady .
FAVORITE FOOD? ANYTHING WITH BOOZE SUMS IT UP
Whenever I hear Riff Raff, I think of Bon! My favorite track!
Man those guys where just great in their heyday!!
what a nice lady,......glad bon had her for a while.
Doesn't surprise me that he was a fan of Free . That was one great Rock and Roll band. Bad Company got more commercial success, much more actually, but I always loved Free even more. To me they were the perfect rock band. They took a simple formula with no gimmicks , no bullshit , just 4 guys playing bluesy rock and did something original and memorable with it. There aren't many bands that can do that these days.
Thank you for doing the interview.
Nice to hear from someone who really knew him and an honest accessment.. thanks
A cool and classy lady.
I read her book and loved it! What a great history, cheers from BRASIL!
Será que existe versão em português?
@@valdirenedeoliveirawalter1019 Ainda não, mas recomendo demais a leitura, as vezes você acaba até deixando o Bon Scott de lado e se envolvendo na vida da Irene. É uma leitura muito fluida.
@@victorkataoka88 tenho medo de comprar a versão em inglês e engalhar em algumas partes.
@@valdirenedeoliveirawalter1019 faça como eu: assinei o clube da Amazon no período gratuito, li o PDF do livro no 0800 e depois cancelei a conta kkk
@@victorkataoka88 kkkkkk
Brian Johnson is amazing, the back in Black album alone, wow. But Bon Scott was a one off, they broke the mold After him. Probably the most recognizable voice and rock!
Great interview. Bon was an amazing lyricist, pure genius.
My gosh, Free (Paul Rogers) started every single band back then. I hear their name over and over.
Butifull Irene , may god bless you as he did Bon
Great video , to hear from a lady married to my hero . How lucky she was . Really good to see such footage .to hear this is so special
Make No Mistake Bon Scott is AC/DC.
Kindest and most humble ex of Bon. Love Irene ♥
Irene, I'm proud of who Bon was and I wanto say to you just be grateful you knew him.
His great legacy will last forever.
R.I.P Bon
Such an amazing interview! All the best to you Irene.
Bon scott was a wild child of rock and roll. He pushed rocking to the limits. But loved to drink wich is a lot of singers downfall. Who knows where he would be today. As he rocked the world. I always thought he got his stage moves from rod stewart. But his songs were all his. We will miss you always bon. Your voice will always be what made ac.dc famous. But angus is the player as was his brother malcom. To heavy rockers in there on rite.
What a Lovely Lady, I'm from New Zealand, My eyes were filled with tears after only a few minutes, I have on vinyl TNT, and the Australian version of Let There Be Rock. I also have Family Jewels and Plug me In. Bon's in heaven, I'm pretty sure of it. Saw AC/DC in New Zealand in 1991. I was 19 years old. Rock In Peace Bon, and bless you Irene.
What a connection to an Iconic singer / front man / AC DC's main man ( Rock n Roll singer )
He was a true rock and roll singer
Loved her books. Thank you.
Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Enough said.
whata touched woman she seems to be, you realy feel her feelings while talking. straight.
h.m.
She's being very kind to his memory, leaving out the voracious womanizing she must have suffered through. Not bashing Bon, but if what I've heard is true, not many females were safe around him.
I can well imagine! He would have gotten me before 'Hello'..
Imagine not easy being married to the hottest man on the planet. It can be difficult as it is being married to not loser hot civilian. btdt
Yes, that crossed my mind too.
One of a kind woman
Ur an angel Rene. Thank you 😊 💓
All the best Irene. I heard about those times away when I was a kid as Mike J was a close family friend and mentor to me growing up. Mike was another who died far too young.
I have respect for her by far because she supported bon Scott as his woman and bon Scott and Angus and Malcom mark Evans and Phill Rudd made acdc but bon and angus are my heroes from the time I was born
What a sweet lady. Thanks for the great story.
lovely lady
Great interview, great question, honest answers.
I think this illustrates that Bon had no easy path to success......he had ups and downs and a lot more downs in those early years....stuff that will crush the spirit of the majority and force them to become a hardware salesman at Bunnings.......but not Bon....he kept at it and the rest is history.
Thank u for this, Sorry for your loss and we miss him to.
Bonn was a decent quiet every day bloke, he was also a party animal, and for bonn the party began the minute he joined acdc.
Thank you for sharing your memories of him and yourself mate ...!!!!
Seems like an nice , honest lady
Irene was my moms name.. glad to know bons wife and my mom had the same name lol.
"While I'm in the band doin' drinkin' with the boys, she's workin' 9 to 5. Knows her place that woman" 🤘
Bob was not a rock roll animal portrayed in the media, he was a warm gentle man who married this classy woman
Who's Bob?
@@cuttinupthecarpet504 its Joe's brother
Bob is your uncle.
But not Bon. He was the singer in ACDC.
@@Surv1ve_Thrive Actually my favorite singer prior to BON...was Angus Scott,a little small but nevertheless a great vocalist
gotta momma, who's a hummer, she's keeping me alive...
That was written about her wasn’t it
@@dragonfitter she knows her place, that woman...
While I'm with the band going drinking with the boys she's working 9 to 5.
Was a good man, very sad his demons were greater than him
Amazing talent, irreplaceable.
I always felt his death was....by bad luck. Death by misadventure type thing.
Beautiful woman, tragic ending of a man she fell in love with and became a legend of rock n roll music!!!"Gonna be a rock n roll singer,gonna be a rock n roll star, YES I ARE!!!! "
When alcohol becomes first love, it's quite a mess for a human being, a self-inflicted mess. When I was younger I was lucky enough to have a warning bell ringing loudly in my head at one point... and I quit that shit.
So good to see the wives of such an iconic band!
Thanks for letting his memory get a little better understood for prosperity...I imagine in 500 years a fan will want to clone him :)
So amazing that Bon was the 2nd singer (Out of two that sang at the same time) for the group : Edison Lighthouse - "My Love Grows Where my Rosemary Goes"
I loved the Alex Harvey Band. I have their best album upstairs with the rest of my vinyl from the 70's and up until the digital years.
Bon & Alex were twin brothers from different parents
bon was definitley one of rock and rolls frontman !!!!! one of my all time favorite singers !!!!!
doesn't surprise me that Bon was a fan of Free. That was a killer rock and roll band. They were straight ahead blues rock , no gimmicks or fancy clothes , nothing but great rock and roll. Much like ACDC , although I suppose Angus and his outfit could be considered a gimmick. But I believe they'd have been just as huge if he'd worn jeans and a t-shirt like Malcolm and the others did.
Bon was damn rowdy. There’s no doubt about that.
