love AC/DC ... but AC/DC with bon was a completely different animal
Been to his burial plot many times in Fremantle cemetery, I was there when they erected a statue of him. He passed on the day I was born 100yrs after Next Kelly was hanged. Staying out of prison is difficult for me, but Such is Life.
Yeah... love Brian but u definitely got something different with BON S. 🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽
Hell Yeah!!!!! Rock n Roll!!!! AC / DC!!!! Raiders,!!! Rock n Roll!!!!!!! Cali4nia!!!!!!!!!
Bon actually broke his ankle when he jumped off the pulpit.
I wondered about that, when he disappeared from camera-shot for the landing and it suddenly skipped to him back in the pulpit wearing all the regalia!
I remember that!! I was like: DANG!!!
I bet he didn't feel a thing lol
Karma
No disrespect to Brian, he probably came closer than anyone else could have done to try to fill Bon Scott's shoes. But Bon was hands down the best vocalist the band could ever have had, and the best front man in the business! Whole Lotta Rosie and Walk All Over You are epic tracks.
Marc Sorace, lead singer for Krokus was approached after Bon’s death but his band was on the rise so he stayed put. Look him up, he sounds very close to Bon’s voice.
Let us not forget Malcolm Young, R.I.P. He is AC/DC. Best rhythm guitar player.
Bon actually broke his ankle leaping over the pulpit!!
and Angus knocked his tooth out
I still refer to Brian Johnson as "the new guy" 44 years later.
Bon Scott will always be my personal favorite front man of AC/DC.
So many great songs.
Down Payment Blues
Riff Raff
Hell Ain't a Bad Place To Be
The Jack
Dirty Deeds
Overdose
Dog Eat Dog
Jailbreak
Nightprowler
Walk All Over You.
More Bon Scott please.
Yes, agreed. Brian’s vocal tone quality suits the AC/DC sound pretty well, but you can see the effort he is having to make which may be why the pace of their late material is slower, to allow him to get the sound out there. His voice works best behind a barrage of bass & lead guitar. Bon’s vocals are more effortless, it seems to flow more naturally, he has the wider vocal range and is note-perfect at any pace. His vocals can stand alone and often alternate with Angus’s riffs & solos. Also important is stage presence, Bon Scott had it in spades, he looked the part & had all the moves and the intensity. If I hadn’t grown up in his era I might be less spoiled, but the flat cap pulled down low over the eyes and the drunken staggering never quite measured up for me.
Touch too much?, Live wire?
Props to drummer Phil Rudd...the most underrated drummer in rock! He's a human metronome. Though this may sound like a simple beat but it's one of the hardest to play live. When then play it live it last over 10 minutes with that drum beat the whole way through...no ear plugs, no click track...just impeccable timing with swing.
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock live at The Apollo Theater Glasgow in 1978 incredible performance..........
Angus at 23 years old was a fn animal. He knocked his own tooth out during a performance.
twice as good as this version
Angus Young's biggest influence was Chuck Berry,Any time Angus skips across the stage,that's his tribute to Chuck Berry's "duck walk" Angus also credits his sister for encouraging him to don the schoolboy blazer, coat, cap, and tie when he hit the stage:
It's always amazed me that Chuck Berry is Angus' idol. I mean, sure, there's a LOT of Berry-style licks in Angus' playing, but they're delivered
so completely unlike anything Chuck ever played. Far more heavy and brutal. Like, where did the heaviness come from?
The name AC/DC came from their sister's sewing machine, it used batteries or plug in power. She also made his school uniforms for ths stage after his real one was no good anymore. He only started gigging in it after school, at age 16. His big bro, said he was gonna be good, when the band was looking for another guitarist, so he started young.
Who would have thought something I listened to as teenager that almost 50 years later is still being played
And that we're still here to hear & see it hey!😯 😁🤘✌️
THe Bon Scott era is just SO much more fun. His lyrics are always hysterical and loaded with double entendres. keep 'em coming,guy! :-) T
My first ever gig was AC/DC with Bon in 1978. Bon had charisma in spades, so much so that although the stuff with Brian is often epic, I find the tunes with Bon more entertaining and interesting. RIP.
Saw them so many times in Melbourne Australia as teenager in the mid 70’s with the one and only Bon Scott. They were amazing even then, and blew out teenage brains and ears. He had so much charisma and stage presence, and will always be their frontman to me. I have never wanted to see them without him. We saw the best!!
More Bon Scott! "Whole Lotta Rosie," "Riff Raff," "Down Payment Blues," "Sin City," "High Voltage," "Dog Eat Dog," "Kicked in the Teeth," "Touch Too Much," "Ain't No Fun Waiting Round to be a Millionaire." The list goes on and on.
*Jailbreak*
Bon Scott's best vocal performance is highway to hell. If you haven't reacted to highway to hell song, highway to hell should be your next AC/DC song.
I love the closeups of Bon with his devilish Smirks. What a character!
RIP Bon Scott .... he was amazing on and off the stage.
Bon Scott always had the cheekiest of smiles.
Also, Bon Scott proselytising RnR. Pure bliss! 🎉🎉🎉
Bon Scott years are my favorite ❤
I got to see them in 1980 before bon Scott passed away. Was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen!
They simply never disappoint. A band that knew what it's strengths were and pushed those buttons perfectly every time. And a secret weapon during the Bon years. A tongue in cheek sense of humor.
There is stuff on UA-cam where Bon Scott is singing bubblegum with the Valentines looking like the proverbial third wheel .You could see him thinking "It’s a long way to the top if you want to Rock ‘n Roll”
It’s such a crackup 😆 seeing Bon in the Valentines
70s AC/DC was what MADE me get a guitar.
AC/DC proves that music doesn't have to be difficult or sophisticated to be fun and enjoyable. One of the best rock bands ever!
RIP, Bon & Malcolm!! YOU are MISSED!
AC/DC actually had THREE lead singers - Dave Evans (left in November 1974, after the first single - "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl?".) then Ronald 'Bon' Scott (1974 - 80) then Brian Johnson (1980 - ) and, in 2016, Axl Rose (of 'Guns 'N Roses) was brought in as a temporary singer to complete that year's tour dates.
Also, on their first television appearance (I think it was Countdown, in Australia) Bon Scott sported a blue gingham dress!! This was before they settled on their 'usual' outfits!
I don't think there are too many Australians who don't know of these legends. A live performance was an experience like no other I can assure you 🤩
The live version of this is amazing. Let there be Rock live at the Apollo theater
Bon had a charisma that was undeniable and irreplaceable. I'm lucky to have seen him in person with the band. Hard to see him and remember that he's gone, yet somehow I'm still here. Good reaction guys, well done and very thoughtful.
Angus actually blew up his amp during the recording of this song. You can actually hear his amp overheating and the distortion becoming more strained.
When I was a kid, I didn't appreciate Bon's mischievous smile. Big, big loss when he died so young.
RIFF RAFF live at the Apollo. Greatest performance by Angus. Such a Showman on the guitar!!!!
Seconded.
@kengunter6093 if you haven’t seen it check out Tommy and Phil Emmanuel’s guitar medley from their Paris show in 2001, Riff Raff appears in that not everyone picks up on it. Two of the best guitarists Australia has ever known. It’s also incredibly entertaining the tricks they do!! ❤
I concur
@Dr_KAP If it doesn't have BS on vocals I'm not interested. Nothing against BJ but the songs just not the same.BS was a lyrical genius with his play on words!!
@@kengunter6903 oh lol I’m guessing you don’t know who Tommy Emmanuel is. They don’t sing. Tommy Emmanuel is known as one of the best guitarists in history. It’s a guitar medley. If you’re not interested that’s fine lol. Someone else might see this and be interested.
Visceral rock. You can't help but move!
🥁🎸🔥🤘🏽
This is such a jam! Bon was also and awesome, charismatic and animated front man! It would've been interesting to see what the band would've been like if he'd stayed alive.
Hi Guys, This was released in 1977,Angus Young was only 22 years old in this video, The band are currently on their Power Up Tour of Europe at the moment, Current lead singer Brian Johnson is now 76 years old, Lead guitarist Angus Young is now 69 and still duck walking 😄😄🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
One of their best albums. This and Powerage IMO. Not a bad song on either.
This is my favorite AC/DC album, hands down. Great from front to back.
Great guys now check out them doing this live at The Apollo Theater Glasgow in 1978 incredible performance and dont make the same mistake a couple of other reviewers made cutting it off when Angus climbs up on the speakers for his solo and afterwards his unbelievable finishing act holy crap. A must see!!!
My favorite AC/DC Bon Scott era song!
The AC/DC song that you two should definitely react to is "Big Balls"!!
The first AC/DC song l ever heard, mid to late 70s, still ❤ it.
The first singer was Dave Evans there is a video with him singing the song "Can I sit next you girl" very rare video
I remember watching that on Countdown 😊
Anything from the live album. If you want blood, you got it!!
I still have most of the AC/DC on cassettes in storage. Definitely one of the all time greats.
the duck walk he got from Chuck Berry one of his greatest idols. when bon jumped over the whole band he actually broke his leg. cheers from Australia 😎
Check out "Touch to Much", one of their best with Bon
Great tune
Long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll... Early ACDC on the back of a truck driving through the Melbourne CBD featuring bon Scott on the bag pipes.
Nobody enjoyed being a front man more the Bon Scott. Never took it too seriously.
Never stopped smiling.
Died 1980. He was seriously missed. ☝️😎
Brian Johnson had big shoes to fill
Loved this the first time I heard it way back in the seventies.
I love the Bon era of AC/DC
Seem them multiple times live. This is my fav track they do at shows. The solo goes offffff. Thanks for reacting to one of my most loved songs of all time.
Bon broke his ankle jumping off the cabinet while filming this clip.That’s why the last solo is footage off them in the studio. Filmed at a church in Surrey hills Sydney.
Best rhythm section ever. Even as a young fella Phill's drums were perfection.
Industrial strength rock'n'roll.
I loved being a teenager in the 70s
I love Bon Scott! His facial expressions are great!
Angus my fav guitarist. That solo at the end is insane
He brought it to the max... 🥁🎸🔥🤘🏽
They really are the Gods of Rock!
The one legged hop, is actually Chuck Berry's "Duck walk", Angus is doing his homage to a hero. AND ACDC had 3 singers. Brian Johnson 1980-present, Bon Scott from 1974- 1980, and DAVE EVANS in 1973.
Perfect example of how the rythmn guitar can set up great lead players
One of theire best Songs...saw them in River plate...Love AcDc...❤😊
I went to this Tour of Let there Be Rock in Johnson City Tenn! In 1978 or 79.
Bon Scott was There (Orginal) ge carried Angus around the Concert Hall including the 2nd Level, Angus was on Bon's Shoulders! I was 1 ft or 2 from them as they Passed us
This live with Bon is fire . Live at The Apollo.
Listen to the live version of this with Bon ..unbelievable!!!!!
Bon Scott
A Frontman’s Frontman
What an Absolutely Amazing Rock & Roll Character.
What a Song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Rock & Roll Preacher taking us to Rock & Roll Church
Alter Boy Angel Angus
There was actually another singer before Bon named Dave Evans, but he is pretty much forgotten.
I like Brian and Back in Black is certainly one of the great rock albums, but Bon Scott is my favorite vocalist and Bon era Acca Dacca my favorite era. There's no one like Bon.
I read somewhere that when Angus was playing that last solo that the old amp. caught on fire but they told him to keep playing.
I just LOVE seeing these videos - my GOODNESS: they were ALL JUST BABIES!!! LOVE ME SOME ROCKIN' AC/DC!!! :) THANKS, YA'LL!! Made MY DAY!! HUGS!!!
The winning AC/DC formula? Three chords, balls and FUN!
"Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" ✊ 🎧
Live at the Apollo 1978 is an amazing version. The 1979 album of the concert is "If You Want Blood" and was the 1st album I bought as an 8 year old kid.
My cousin introduced me to this around 76/77 when imports started to get to England from Australia and I've loved them ever since, used to have this video on VHS back in the day, My favourite track is Gone Shooting off Powerage and personally I'd always go Bon Scott but don't get me wrong I think Brian did an amazing job. Great reaction
They were just having fun while kicking ass !!!
I was lucky enough to have grown up in seventies Australia. Saw them play a number of times. I am sorry to say. For me, the band AC/DC we're ended when Bonn passed away.
Certainly not boring!!!!!! Always great and very consistent.
My favorite of all their songs!
The world lost a lot when we lost Bon.
I remember carving his epitaph into my desk at school.
I wasn't the only one.
This group is definitely one of the best of all time. I was first introduced to them, by new friends at a new school, who vastly broadened my 13 or 14 year old mind, music wise. I remember being told that Angus, at at least one concert, performed a solo for several minutes, while being carried on someone else's shoulders. (possibly one of the stage bouncers)
Even if that is not true, you cannot say you can't seem him doing it. I hope you do tons more of the early stuff. I love the later stuff, but I think they had a bigger blues influence early on, and I think it's even more primal than some of the later stuff. Problem Child, The Jack, Big Balls, Dirty Deeds, Ride On. You may have done 1 or more of those already but any you have not done, I think youw ill totally love.
Great channel.
The first song I heard from them was this song and never looked back 🤘
Bon & the boys doing "Jailbreak " is another great early hit song & video is pretty cool too
A live version of this and a song called Riff Raff at the Apollo theater In 1978 is a must..... both will blow your mind ...lol
Angus knocked out his own tooth the way he plays. Watch this live from 78
You NEED to see the live version of this at the Apollo theater Glasgow in 1978, it will blow you away, especially with Angus going absolutely bonkers! (Mad in Aussie parlance)
One of AC/DC's inspirations was Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs. The loudest band in Australia. 'Mama' performed live in 1971, on the TV show GTK is amazing.
Yi from Perth Western Australia you guys have watched the best video if this song...sung and written by Bon Scott RIP
This song is an unstoppable force!
Love how they do this video with the song!!❤❤
Bob Scott had a big impact in classics and the influence of and play wind instruments bagpipes and guitar and wrote the music
Keep an eye out they might be going on a tour again somehow- I was fortunate to see them before Brian lost his ears and right after Malcom died and they rocked just like you’d expect and if I recall they either em started or ended the concert with this song and it was like 20 mins of shredding glad you checked it out!
Loved this. Lots of very smart rockers in the comments. I know this because they have already said what I wanted to, broken ankle etc. I would love to see you pair of fine specimens do an AC/DC Bluesy double header from the Album "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" with "Ride on" and "Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire". Ya could rap it up with Squealer, just putting it out there. Lads hit some likes to tell them to do this. We know they would love it!
You need to check out Whole Lotta Rosie, Riff Raff, Problem Child, or Ride on.
It's cool to see you both anxious to hear and see them again. 👍
Two things. First off that kid playing guitar, is the one playing in suspenders and short, while dancing across the stage later in their career. Secondly, this was with the first lead singer, not the one you see now, or since the Back in Black album.
'Let there be rock' (1977) was AC/DC's 4th overall album and something of a landmark record - their sound had solidified as Angus and Malcolm Young wanted a record w/ "big guitars"... and it was the first AC/DC album to break into the US top 200 charts and marked the first time they toured N. America, opening for Kiss and other major acts.
Mark Evans (bass) played on the record but he was replaced by bassist Cliff Williams before this music video was filmed... he joined Bon Scott (vocals), Phil Rudd (drums) w/ Angus and Malcolm Young... Cliff later revealed that he and Bon were close because they were both a few years older than the other members of AC/DC and could hang... Cliff also became close friends w/ Brian Johnson when he joined AC/DC in 1980.
Angus Young was a very short fella and was missing a front tooth at the time and truly looked like a demented schoolboy on stage ... Bon Scott was also missing teeth cos he had been brawling back in Australia... Both got their teeth fixed by 1979 as AC/DC were starting to break big worldwide.
This comment is much appreciated comment. Thanks.
I've never seen them with Bon Scott, but I've had the pleasure of seeing them on 4 different concert tours and They Always put on a Great Show!!! All with Brian Johnson
you have my sympathy
@@TheSmittenman yeah,I wished I could've seen them with Bon...all 4 concerts were with my recently passed identical twin brother.. So at least I have the memories with my Bro!!
never was a top shelf studio song for me personally, but live, it friggin' killed. have seen AC/DC live 10/12 maybe 13 times over the years, was and still are my favorite rock and roll band.
If you really want to feel ACDC, you have to check out Ride On-and Down Payment Blues. Both Bonn Scott era songs. Both AWESOME Angus Young Riffs. Ride on is about the slowest, most bluesy song ACDC has ever done. Down Payment Blues is just a BANGER. As soon as it starts you will know what I mean. Brian Johnson has a live version of this song. But if you do do it, Please use Bonn’s original. But any ACDC song, I’m here for!!!
I love Ride on for it'd Bluesy qualities but feel Ain't no fun should be thrown in to the Bluesy list, Love that tune and lived that struggle.
@@KarlXByrne Absolutely 100% agree!!
@@chrisstone5868 Diamond Geezer!
Never had a bad album. Never missed.
One of the best powerful energetic rock bands, my favorite in high school
Their best song and video. Both are the epitome of naughty fun and it all rocks HARD!
