  • In a world exclusive, Australian Story unravels the legend of AC/DC front man Bon Scott, who was on the verge of becoming an international rock star when he died at age 33.
    For the first time ever, the program has been granted access to Bon’s family and friends who provide fresh insights into his vulnerabilities and state of mind leading up to his untimely death in London in 1980.
    The program features the first interview with Bon’s younger brother Derek and is introduced by Brian Johnson, Bon’s successor with the band.
    Bruce Howe, a former bandmate who shared a house with Bon for five years, noticed a big change when he last saw him in late 1979.
    “He wasn’t bubbly and laughing. Maybe he’d come to the state where he’d achieved his dream, he found his holy grail, but found that his holy grail might have looked like an empty goblet,” he told the program.
    To this day, Bon Scott is considered one of the world’s best rock and roll singers.

      You can’t replace Bon Scott but somebody had to try. Brian goes in there and says here you go we got Back In Black. It’s insane. Somehow it was 100% AC/DC with Bon and it’s 100% AC/DC with Brian. And you just can follow Bon Scott let me say again. His maniacal genius is in the dna that made AC/DC who they are

    My dad died when I was 11 and I got into AC/DC at about the same time. The first album of theirs I ever had was Dirty Deeds. The first time my mom heard Ride On she was forever hooked. Not so much on the band but Bon. Any time I came home from school and I heard Ride On playing in the living room I knew my mom was missing my dad. She missed him a lot. Bon was there for her. Thank you Bon.

      You’re welcome,,, it’s me bon , back from the dead! I’ve been hovering around the Earth, psych …actually hell is where all the bad party people go ! My dad died when I was young too so I can relate, but turn to Jesus, so you don’t end up in hell for eternity! Here’s why the Bible is true:
      You cannot out psychologize the Bible for God not to throw you into hell for all eternity. In other words, you cannot come up with a good enough excuse here and now, so you will not be able to on judgment day. If you say you did not want to be born, God is going to say you should’ve been born again, that means become a Christian so that’s not gonna work. And there are no other excuses try to think of one. So now you know for the first time in your life, that the Bible is smarter than you and it is a steel trap, smarter than all of mankind, What should you do then? So at least investigate and look to see that these things are true, because right now you just learned the Bible is smarter than you, and you will be accountable for your life on judgment day before God!
      Prophecy, the Bible is 27% prophecy, that’s future history written in advance. God‘s really sticking his neck out to get it cut off if he’s wrong, but he hasn’t been wrong about the thousands of prophecies that were fulfilled, so he’ll be right about the end of the world prophecies as well and you’ll have no excuse on judgment day for not looking for truth!
      Caveat: you cannot look for God in times of chaos says Isaiah 45:19, so you better do it now. In other words,You’ll be too worried about your own survival when chaos hits, than your eternal destiny!
      Statistic probability of 40 writers writing the Bible with zero margin of deviation, proves God wrote the Bible through the 40 writers!
      God authored the Bible!
      DNA does not auto encrypt, the code writer is outside of the code of the 3300000,000,000 lines of computer code in the human genome of our DNA! So who wrote the code to such sophistication?
      1,000,000 seconds is 12 days, 1,000,000,000 seconds is 32 years! That’s the difference between 1 million and 1 billion!
      One person’s DNA could fill the Grand Canyon up to 50 times full of books. John 21:25 “I suppose everything Jesus did, the world wouldn’t have enough room for the books telling of it.“ this verse would be fulfilled!
      Psalm 139:16 “in my members you have written many books“!
      Psalm 139 is about the human body!

      At 29:50 they're talking about Bon getting tired of the road, thinking about settling down, etc. It reminded me of a conversation with a guitarist in a band that frequently played in a bar I worked as security. One night out of the blue he came to me and started talking about how band life and partying all the time was fun. IIRC it was over 10 years full time band member. But he was getting tired of it all and that made him evaluate where was he going in life. You can't do band life non-stop until you're 60 something.
      He talked about the same things mentioned in this video, family, wife, kids, an actual house to come back to every night. It was interesting and from the heart. Occasionally, I wonder what he actually did as I quit working part-time security. It felt kind of strange having a guy who's 7 years older looking for your ear and input.

    We purchased T-shirts from the roadies and got autographs by the whole band, so stoked, so proud to hang out with them backstage, simply couldn’t fathom that we met our idols, being just 17 years old. I got a guitar string from Angus as a souvenir, and a can of sprite from Bon.

I first heard them in 1978, my brother had a 45 record of Up To My Neck (Powerage), and I was instantly hooked with their awesome blues overtones and Bon's powerful vocals. Then their live album "If You Want Blood" came out and my rock world changed forever. Of the many rock bands we followed at that time (soooo many) AC DC was like no other. They had that magic in their music and in their sound and their stories. This documentary really helped me (and likely millions of other AC DC fans) better understand and appreciate Bon for the man he was, the struggles he faced, and the legend he became.

    On December 19th, 1977, KISS was in the middle of their Alive 2 tour in support of their "magnum opus" album, Love Gun. This tour is considered KISS's greatest live concert tour that defined them at the top of their game. It was the time when KISS ruled the stage with their theatrics, fire and explosians. At that time no live act could touch them except for the opening band that night. That band was AC/DC.
    My parents took me to see KISS when I was 10 because I was infatuated with them. But it wasn't KISS who garnered our complete attention, it was Bon Scott and Angus Young. While Angus Young was out of control, Bon acted as his musical director, knowing when to let Angus take off.
    My mom, a huge fan of Perry Como and Mario Lanza initially was critical of Bon's atire of a bare chest and jeans. She said he should wear an outfit like the Osmonds. Regardless, me and my family were blown away. Bon owned the stage, he was the vocal point, he brought rock and roll to his band and made sure they lived up to it.
    The show concluded with Angus on Bon's shoulders running around the entire 15,000 seat arena in Largo, MD. That crazy out of control guitarist who defined rock and roll guitar playing at the time along with a raucous singer who defined the ultimate the ultimate singer, eclipsed KISS by a mile.
    Me, the hugest KISS fans, seeing their best concert tour of all time, only remember AC/DC. I had no idea who they were. On the way home, we all agreed that AC/DC had put on one hell of a show. In a nutshell, AC/DC's first American tour showed the world and the bands for which they opened what the definition of rock and roll while KISS was putting on a circus. They could have brought out some elephants to bring them more attention, but it was all moot. They had just been schooled.

I got to see them Live in 1979 with Bon Scott in Corpus Christi TX. They blew the other bands off the stage. Everyone stood the entire time they were on stage.

    I saw AC/DC for the first time on Nov 23, 1977 (my first concert!), in Knoxville, TN,, and they were virtually unknown at that time in America . They co-headlined with UFO (w Michael Schenker), who was similarly trying to build up an audience in the US, and the concert was a specially priced $3.50 "Thanksgiving Special", which was about half the price of most concerts at the time. I remember being knocked out by Angus' running and trashing around, but the one thing that I remember most was when Bon asked the crowd to sing along on "The Jack"....since nobody was familiar at the time with any of their music, we all thought Bon wanted us to sing "she's got the JOCK!", because his accent was so thick, we mistook "jack" for "jock"! Lol Nut and we all sang it loud!! I'm sure the band found it amusing! The 2nd time I saw them, they were opening for Alice Cooper, in the summer of '78, and they got a huge reception from the sold out crowd. By the time they came back in '79, Knoxville loved AC/DC so much, they sold out the Coliseum as headliners, with Blackfoot opening. I remember Angus falling to the floor and kicking around during his solo segment, and somebody reached up and snatched one of his sneakers off his foot! I wonder if that person still has that shoe? Lol. Ironically, I was at a Blackfoot concert a few months later, the band was that opened for them in '79, when the singer announced that Bon had passed away! You could hear the whole crowd gasp. Knoxville is one of the towns that loved and supported AC/DC years before they became huge...in fact, the first time the came to town with Brian Johnson, they didn't have half the crowd they had at Bon's last show in Knoxville. But we warmed up to Brian soon enough, and it seemed like every boom box in town came with a cassette of "Back in Black"!

      @@maryfrancesbeckerhaggerty5353 UFO is also a band that has special significance to me...not only were they playing at my first concert, but I saw them a second time on March 18, 1982, opening for Ozzy Osborne, this time without Michael Schenker.... the thing I remember most about their set was that some freak in the audience brought some dead snakes with him, and he threw one up on stage during UFOs set...Phil Mogg jumped out of the way, but Pete Way later picked it up and chased Mogg around the stage with it! The freak also threw one at Ozzy, but Ozzy didn't want anything to do with it, as this was a few months after "the bat biting incident '! But the thing that made this concert so special was being blown away by Randy Rhoads. The next day in school, we were all talking about how incredible Randy was... then, when I got home after school, I found out that Randy Rhoads got killed that very morning! So that concert was his very last show! I still have the ticket stub in a photo album somewhere, I wish I could find it!

      Cool story kl, I live 90 miles north of Knoxville. The first time I heard ACDC it was Dirty Deeds. Malcom and Angus are the 2 that got me wanting to play rock n roll guitar and still do to this day. When Back in Black came out, I got a new cassette player boom box and that album did come with it for Christmas of 81' . I was late getting it, but I learned every song on the album. I love the story about Angus' shoe! 🎸🎸

    Wow! What a story! What a magnificent documentary on this amazing singer! Yes, he succeeded, as AC/DC's success is where Bon would've been. I'm mostly into hardcore punk but was heavily into metal in the late 70s & beginning of the 80s. I had the very great honor of seeing the Black In Black concert in San Antonio. I didn't have a clue who Bon was back then. Incredible talent, tragic addiction. Damn it's good to have seen my own destruction with alcohol & to leave it behind forever. Wish Bon would've done the same.

      EDIT: You are lucky to have seen both of them Brian. I never got to see Bon live but I would have loved it.
      As I watch some of his music videos, one of the things I always appreciate is that he seems to be actually having fun while he is singing.
      Unlike most rock singers, he actually smiles sometimes while performing. He’s genuinely happy to be there, it shows and it’s a lovable trait in a Frontman.
      Brian had huge shoes to fill and I think he did it. But Angus is the only visual frontman now. I feel like with Bon, they had two frontmen and Angus appropriately visually shared the stage more.
      That being said, I saw the band in concert with Brian and the show was great.

    I was to young to see Ac⚡️Dc with Bon but grew up a huge fan. I grew up on Back in Black, For those about to rock, and Razors Edge. My first Concert was Ac⚡️Dc The stiff upper lip tour. I was 18 at the time and what a experience it was. Ive been a life long fan but knew very little about Bon. I remember being blown away by his voice the first time I heard him. I didn’t know why he was no longer with the band and thought wow he sounds better than Brian. I learned the history of the band and was truly saddened. Brian has done a hell of a job filling in for Bon and I very thankful he did but wow Bon’s voice was absolutely amazing.
