Angus Young is the guitarist, his sister actually named the band after a sewing machine and she is the one who told him to keep his school boy outfit on because he would run home to play in his older brothers band when he was 16 and he would not have time to change. She did try other outfits in the beginning, like Spider-Man, and a few other things, but they didn’t take off like the school by outfit did
The singer is Brian Johnson, who joined the band after their other singer, Bon Scott, died in 1980. Angus Young is their iconic lead guitarist who has worn a schoolboy uniform since he and his brother Malcolm started the band in 1973. He's literally one-of-a-kind, as no one has ever moved and played like him before, especially when he was younger.
I agree with all you said except for the part about his moving. Have you never seen what Chuck Berry was doing in the 1950s? Yes, angus is another guitar master. But his movements go back decades. Even Elvis was doing fantastic movements on stage.
@@lisal6121 Neither Berry nor Elvis moved to the extent that Angus did when he was young. Angus took it to a whole other level. Check out AC/DC's concert film "Let There Be Rock", filmed in 1979 and released in 1980. I think it is available on UA-cam, although you may have to pay for it. He was like that during every single concert. No one could keep up with him, before or since.
@@lisal6121 Btw, Lisa, although "Let There Be Rock" is one of their songs, it was also the name of their actual concert film with Bon Scott, before he died. Other musicians have actually cited the film as an influence in starting their own music careers.
@@sammy_dog That's a good analogy Sammy. Someone else also once said that Angus was so proficient at moving and playing his guitar that he could have fallen down a flight of stairs and not missed a single note. :)
AC/DC came up with the perfect recipe for rock ‘n’ roll in 1973 and they’ve just kept making the same batch for the last 50 years! Somebody once said AC/DC has made the same album 11 times, and Angus Young said correction, we’ve made the same album 12 times !
Gotta do “Whole Lotta Rosie” live from River Plate. Great song. Great crowd participation gong wild. And the worlds largest blow up woman on stage with them.
NOT!!!!!! Watch the one with the original singer Bon Scott who also wrote the song. The live version from the Apollo Theater Glasgow Scotland 1978. Malcom's multiple guitar solo's will drop your jaw to the floor.
My husband has been a huge AC/DC fan since he was a pre-teen (He's almost 58). For his birthday several years ago, I bought him the DVD for "AC/DC Live at River Plate "(Argentina 2009). He said it is one of the best concert films he's ever watched (not just from AC/DC but other groups too). The energy level from the audience is incredible to see. It was a 3 day concert, each night was sold out. River Plate stadium holds +60,000 people so that means the venue had over 180,000 people walk through it's doors that weekend. Please check out any of these from the concert: Whole Lotta Rosie, Highway to Hell, Thunderstruck, & The Jack! *Note - many other UA-camrs have reacted to & fell in love with the official video for Thunderstruck as well. It is a must see! When you do watch any concert footage from River Plate, keep in mind that these guys had been rock gods for decades by that time. Now here they are, still rockin' out with more energy & stamina than musicians half their age! Again, this is another rabbit hole of amazing music to discover & explore. Enjoy the ride! 🤘
I forgot to mention that one of my husband's favorite songs by AC/DC is "Big Balls" (1976) with original lead singer, Bon Scott. RIP It is a funny song, you should check it out one day. 😂
Love ACDC... love them even more live. Their legendary 2009 concert at River Plate is a great place to start, the band is older but in top form and the Argentinian crowd matches the bands energy note for note... "Whole Lotta Rosie", "Highway To Hell", "Thunderstruck", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" are all amazing selections from this show.
I checked out a radio interview of Brian Johnson from November, 2022 here on UA-cam. He stated that his early musical influences were British Rock singer Joe Brown, Little Richard, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan.
This song is also the title track to their album "Back in Black which was a dedication to their original lead singer Bon Scott. Who sang the lead on songs such as "highway to hell" "it's a long way to the top" and "TNT". Another song you should check out from the black in black album is "hells bells.
Man if you haven't already you gotta see "Let There Be Rock" Live At River Plate By AC/DC. There are no adequate words to describe Angus's guitar solo.
I only started listening to AC/DC last year when my son introduced me to Thunderstruck. I can't get enough of AC/DC now. I've been around a lot longer than you and I didn't know their names and most of their songs.. But if we research, listen and learn we are doing good. Your reactions are fun to listen to because your enthusiasm is real and your interest in researching is contagious.
You're not stupid bro. If you don't know, you don't know. Now you know. That's called learning. Love the enthusiasm. Angus is amazing, but Malcolm, Cliff, and Phil were the AC/DC secret sauce. One of the best rhythm sections ever. Angus even gave his brother credit for being a better guitar player.
Bon Scott died after the Highway to Hell album. Brian Johnson is the sing on this album and later. Both are iconic, both were amazing, Bon Scott and the early ACDC was more bluesy, but both sides of the band rocked it out.
You’ve heard ac/dc songs, probably several, and you just don’t realize it. Bon Scott actually passed away of acute alcohol poisoning (I believe) and was replaced by lead singer Brian Johnson. I think this was the first album he was on after Bon Scott’s death in 1980. Also, I read that Angus Young would come home from school when he was young and he was in such a hurry to play his guitar and rock out with the band that he never took the time to change out of his school uniform and I believe that’s all he’s worn in videos and concerts.
I have been very fortunate to see both singers. I am enjoying watching you on this journey, I agree with you that it is ashame any person on this planet miss out on great music. Awesome reaction from you. Keep the journey alive. Peace ✌
Brian is English & previous band was called Geordie. Got his voice from a lotta smoking, alcohol, gravel & razor blades...lol You could check out original music video version of Highway to Hell with Bon on vocals. This was on Highway to Hell album which was Bons last & preceded Back in Black.
I have always been a fan, but recently I saw a tribute band, and I saw the Bon Scott years and I realized before back in black, they did not play much of AC/DC here in America on the radio! So now I have another eight albums to enjoy as a new fan
Brian Johnson pulled off what all 5 of my brothers and myself thought wasn't possible. He stepped into huge shoes and held his own while not changing the sound of the band too much.
singer brian from newcastle north east england, the young brothers guitarists are scottish who went to live in australia, bass player english, drummer australian
You beat my comment. 10:05 and other points in the song, are like a combo of Rap, Scat & Rock n Roll rolled into one. Of course the people growing up in 40's-60s that became these bands we listen to grew up listening to American music(almost in order of appearance to my limited knowledge): Classical (not American), Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Country, Big Band/Americana, 'Black' Rock n Roll, Motown. That's 9 (recorded) Genres in 60 years not including Classical originating in the 1500's.(recorded on paper first) Created out of those we got; 1960s to 1970's (UK invasion) of Rock n Roll, Prog Rock, RnB, Funk, Punk, Reggae, Latin, Africana, Disco, Rap, Metal. Then 1980's: New Wave, Dance(House, Freestyle, Techno, Industrial, Chill, + more), Hip-Hop and Pop. ALL those led to 1990s Grunge, & Weird Al epic parodies (LOL, 1980's actually but I'm cheating). That's 17 Genres in 32 years. A total of 25 Genres in roughly 92 years + Classical. I can't even think of a new style to come out of the early 1990's to present 2023... Snowflake/Victimhood/Identity Crisis music? That's 1993 to 2023, 30 yars with, what 1 or 2 new genres? Help us Lord.
This song is my Jam!!! It's the only song that I HAVE to dance to. Friends of mine play this locally. First 2 notes I'm on the floor! I'm 65 and due to issues can't dance easily. lol I have been a rocker chick since 1970!
This album, and this song in particular, is their comeback statement, and their tribute to former lead singer Bon Scott after his death in 1979. Angus Young is the only surviving founding member, his brother Malcolm died a couple years ago. Check out some of their early work with Bon - It's a Long Way to the Top, Let There Be Rock, T.N.T, Dirty Deeds, For Those About to Rock, Girl's Got Rhythm, Highway to Hell, Touch too Much.
You need to check out a song of theirs called Snowballed. It's a barn burner. You need to have the lyrics up too. They're badass. From the Bon era, check out Riff Raff. Both of those songs will get you a speeding ticket. lol
This album came out on my 16th birthday, talk about sweet sixteenth 🤘🤘🤘 This entire record top to bottom is sick. "Shoot to Thrill" is my favorite cut. But damn, they open the record with "Hells Bells", JFC, devastating!
If you got the chops go find anything from their 3 nights in a row concerts at River Plate in Argentina in Dec of 2009. You won’t be disappointed!!!!! After all the lads are best tasted live in my humble opinion!!!!!!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😍😍😍🎸🎸🎸🤩😎🍸
You were right in a way because Bon Scott sang Highway to Hell prior to Brian Johnson so you had heard Bon's unique voice as well. AC/DC is always fire! Best band out of Australia.
Bon Scott got drunk and passed out. Eventually he threw up and choked to death on his own vomit. But, sometime before all this happened, the band happened to see Brian Johnson in another band, and Bon said " if something ever happens to me, I want him to replace me ". Kinda funny how things happen, don't ya think?
The album was called back in black because they lost their original singer 4 months prior to releasing the album. It was called Back In Black, because they were back, but they were in mourning
👏👏👏 GREAT reaction. And.... I LOVE that you look up facts on the songs and artists while reacting!!! I'd like to give you one more fact about AC/DC, this song and this whole album. Not only was this Brian Johnson's very first album as lead singer after Bon's death in 1980.... it is AC/DC's highest selling album period. At last check, the album "BACK IN BLACK" has been certified Platinum 25X's!!!👊 That speaks volumes to its greatness and in my humble opinion... shows that Brian was meant to be lead singer of AC/DC!!! 💯💯💯 Fair warning: As you start to dig deeper into the bands catalogue and go back and listen songs with Bon Scott as lead singer... you are going to find that there's an on-going debate with AC/DC fans. It's the whole "Bon vs. Brian" debate. It can get pretty heated (ridiculous at times😅) in the comment sections! lol!!!🤣😂🤣 Anyway, my thoughts on the subject... Brian Johnson has been AC/DC's lead singer for 42 years now. Bon was only their lead singer for 6 years. While his voice was great as well, his delivery of it was more of a "sleezy" naughty, bad boy vibe. Brian's delivery is more of a playful tough boy. That's more my vibe! So before the debates start... I'm just gonna go ahead and give Brian Johnson some love!! If I'm gonna listen to an AC/DC song... I prefer Brian Johnson!!!🤗 But make no mistake.... ANGUS is the heart and soul of AC/DC!!!🥰 You'll find that out too! I can't with Angus, I just love his spirit!!! Just saying!!😜 Looking forward to watching an AC/DC journey with you. I recommend "THUNDERSTRUCK" live at River Plate. Seriously, you've heard the song everywhere in your life you just didn't know it was AC/DC. That performance is perfect and you're gonna love Angus guitar playing in that one too!!! Peace and light...💞
A couple of bands that you might really get into: For fun, would be ZZ Top, for great blues rock, and for a deep, mesmerizing titan of a band; Pink Floyd, for psychedelic, progressive ….oh hell….They were they’re own genre. Hypnotic. Majestic. Genius.
Brian Johnson’s voice is unique and I have heard him speak in real life...... He and his wife dined in our restaurant at Jupiters Casino, Gold Coast, Australia. He was very gentlemanly, pleasant and his speaking voice was warm but almost normal, just a touch of gravel. But when I hear him on his TV show, it is full of gravel and hard to understand. lol Maybe a bit like Colin Hay from Men at Work...... Colin speaks perfect Australian and sounds true blue, but can revert to his normal Scot accent and is impossible to understand..... his real voice and accent is pure Glaswiegan. lol
Love both of the singers. Gotta do 'Dirty Deeds' feat: Bon Scott. Guaranteed you've heard Brian: 'Thunderstruck,' think NFL games. 'Bnblack' - Ironman? You should do 'For those about to rock.'
No, you're not stupid. 'You Shook Me All Night Long," and "For Those About To Rock," are really good. "T.N.T." is a good Bon Scott song. Brian Johnson's voice sounds that way naturally, even when speaking.
That is not Brian Johnson’s speaking voice, that’s a falsetto he uses to sing. He’s been asked by other singers what he does to warm up his voice, and he tells them “nothing” - he just goes out there and does it.
If you want some Bon Scott try the tune Bad Boy Boogie at the Apollo Theater in Glasgow April 1978 live performance or the tune Let There Be Rock from the same show. Angus and the boys will blow your mind!!!! Also the original lead singer Bon Scott is the front man. I think you will like him as well. Just saying!!!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!😎🍸
if you wish to hear Bon Scott-Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is a good one. Other AC/DC songs to check out Thunderstruck, Highway to Hell and of course Let There Be Rock! (Bon Scott on lead)
You should listen to the song Jailbreak, or Baby Please Don't Go from the 74 Jailbreak album. Would love to see your reaction to them! Keep up the good work!
Here a list of ACDC songs Highway to Hell Thunderstruck TNT Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheaps Shook Me All Night Long Hells Bells For those about to Rock Money talk Jailbreak Shoot To Thrill Whole Lotta Rosie Big Balls
This one hit us all with that intro…..meanwhile you should watch live AC/DC from Riverplate. Honestly- please check that❤️🎼❤️I’m on this ride since 1981.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Brian Johnson. We lost Bon…RIP
I'm a 'dyed in the wool' Bon Scott fan, Brian's alright but to me Bon had a vulnerability and stage presence you are born with and you don't see anymore - I just wanted to hug him. So my favourite songs are 'Whole Lotta Rosie', 'Let There Be Rock', 'Night Prowler', Touch Too Much' and my all time favourite 'Ride On' it was played at my brothers funeral 🥲 I could go on and on and on but I'll stop there 😄❤🤘
The best movie that plays this song and the whole album is the Stephen King movie Maximum Overdrive. Brian Johnson is the lead singer! You are not stupid, just uninformed for a moment, you got it right in the end! Great reaction!
@@debbers I have not rewatched; weirdly I am more prone to binge & rewatch t.v. series. Out of King's movies I rewatch Dreamcatchers & Carrie the most... Prob for different reasons. I wish they would remake or redo Tommyknockers, Langoliers, and of course an amazing Gunslinger series would be F'N AWESOME! It's a great time for Talisman also; I wonder if they could do that book ANY justice?? Maybe strictly CGI? what are your thoughts?
Hey Jason, I would love to see the Talisman made into a mini series, like the Stand or the Mist, you know just a two parter, possibly three. I don't know how they could top the original Tommyknockers or the Langoliers! I suppose with better graphics, I like most of the actors though and don't know if I can get used to new ones, I can't watch the new Carrie for instance or the new IT! I think they both did a crappy job, oh the story fit better the second time around with IT, but they failed miserably with Pennywise nobody can replace Tim Curry in that role! I wonder did they even ask him to come back as Pennywise, do you know? I haven't read the Gunslinger series, it came out at a time when I had very little money so I wasn't able to get that series.And I had a brain aneurysm in 2013 so it's hard for me to keep up with a book I haven't read before, my short term memory sucks and by the time I finish a page I forget what it said, so I've given up trying to read it now. Thank you for your reply and your questions, there aren't enough people willing to talk about Stephen King movies these days! Some people don't even know what you are talking about when you say Maximum Overdrive or Christine!
Anybody ripping on ya for that is a moron... you don't know until you know... you got great reactions and I appreciate that you look shit up and are honest about what you know and what you don't... isn't that the point of this kinda thing?!?
If you really like Brian’s voice then you should have a listen to Jimmy Barnes from Australia. ( born in Scotland ). I suggest Cold Stone in Love With You .... an older Jimmy with Joe Bonamassa burning up his Les Paul guitar. Or the younger Jimmy with band Cold Chisel..... a big rabbit hole here , but you hear both Jimmy’s gravel and his sweet softer voice as well as the sweet voice of Ian Moss , the lead guitarist and co lead singer. lol
If you know very little about ACDC , start off with their first album : High Voltage with the original singer Bon Scott. Do all the ACDC albums in order with Bon Scott , then move onto Brian Johnson . That's the best way to hear ACDC 🎸
Welcome to the music generation called "If it's too loud, you're too old!" This is the music that drove our parents nuts! 😅
Angus Young is the guitarist, his sister actually named the band after a sewing machine and she is the one who told him to keep his school boy outfit on because he would run home to play in his older brothers band when he was 16 and he would not have time to change.

*AC/DC* *Forever* 🤘
Gotta do “Whole Lotta Rosie” live from River Plate. Great song. Great crowd participation gong wild. And the worlds largest blow up woman on stage with them.
Yes. Whole Lotta Rosie, live at River Plate should be next in your AC/DC list. Or Thunderstruck, live at River Plate.
NOT!!!!!! Watch the one with the original singer Bon Scott who also wrote the song. The live version from the Apollo Theater Glasgow Scotland 1978. Malcom's multiple guitar solo's will drop your jaw to the floor.
Brian Johnson is the lead vocalist. Back in Black is the first album after Bon Scott's death in Feb 1980.
Welcome to the AC/DC family. They have been around for 50 years so it's a huge rabbit hole. I look forward to your journey. It is going to be amazing
My husband has been a huge AC/DC fan since he was a pre-teen (He's almost 58). For his birthday several years ago, I bought him the DVD for "AC/DC Live at River Plate "(Argentina 2009).

It is a funny song, you should check it out one day. 😂
Awesome song choice.... I recommended dirty deeds for most of the same reasons
Seeing these guys live is a real experience.
Love ACDC... love them even more live. Their legendary 2009 concert at River Plate is a great place to start, the band is older but in top form and the Argentinian crowd matches the bands energy note for note... "Whole Lotta Rosie", "Highway To Hell", "Thunderstruck", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" are all amazing selections from this show.
Your introduction to Bon Scott should be the original album version of WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE!
AC/DC always just kicks ass ! No apologies , in your face , unbelievable guitarist , Australia’s gift to the world!
That voice is GEORDIE!!!
I checked out a radio interview of Brian Johnson from November, 2022 here on UA-cam. He stated that his early musical influences were British Rock singer Joe Brown, Little Richard, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan.
This song is also the title track to their album "Back in Black which was a dedication to their original lead singer Bon Scott. Who sang the lead on songs such as "highway to hell" "it's a long way to the top" and "TNT". Another song you should check out from the black in black album is "hells bells.
Man if you haven't already you gotta see "Let There Be Rock" Live At River Plate By AC/DC. There are no adequate words to describe Angus's guitar solo.
That is the best song of all time, I listen to that once a day like taking vitamins
This was our theme song when I was on the Junior High basketball team. We played it when we came out onto the court. Our colors were black and gold.
I only started listening to AC/DC last year when my son introduced me to Thunderstruck. I can't get enough of AC/DC now. I've been around a lot longer than you and I didn't know their names and most of their songs.. But if we research, listen and learn we are doing good. Your reactions are fun to listen to because your enthusiasm is real and your interest in researching is contagious.
You're not stupid bro. If you don't know, you don't know. Now you know. That's called learning. Love the enthusiasm. Angus is amazing, but Malcolm, Cliff, and Phil were the AC/DC secret sauce. One of the best rhythm sections ever. Angus even gave his brother credit for being a better guitar player.
I’ve seen them so many times. Always got seating stage right so that I could get the best view of Cliff Williams 😍
saw them in St. Louis back in the late 80s/early 90s. Great show!!
Love AC/DC they r amazing in concert, saw them few times in the 70s and 80s. Thanx so much, Be well, Peace
How did they get the name? Angus and Malcolm sister had out her sewing machine and written on the machine was “AC DC.
My favorite song by ACDC!! Favorite album also!! So awesome!
Bon Scott died after the Highway to Hell album. Brian Johnson is the sing on this album and later. Both are iconic, both were amazing, Bon Scott and the early ACDC was more bluesy, but both sides of the band rocked it out.
You’ve heard ac/dc songs, probably several, and you just don’t realize it.
Bon Scott actually passed away of acute alcohol poisoning (I believe) and was replaced by lead singer Brian Johnson. I think this was the first album he was on after Bon Scott’s death in 1980.
Also, I read that Angus Young would come home from school when he was young and he was in such a hurry to play his guitar and rock out with the band that he never took the time to change out of his school uniform and I believe that’s all he’s worn in videos and concerts.
I have been very fortunate to see both singers.
I am enjoying watching you on this journey, I agree with you that it is ashame any person on this planet miss out on great music.
Awesome reaction from you. Keep the journey alive.
Peace ✌
Brian is English & previous band was called Geordie. Got his voice from a lotta smoking, alcohol, gravel & razor blades...lol You could check out original music video version of Highway to Hell with Bon on vocals. This was on Highway to Hell album which was Bons last & preceded Back in Black.
I have always been a fan, but recently I saw a tribute band, and I saw the Bon Scott years and I realized before back in black, they did not play much of AC/DC here in America on the radio! So now I have another eight albums to enjoy as a new fan
Brian Johnson pulled off what all 5 of my brothers and myself thought wasn't possible. He stepped into huge shoes and held his own while not changing the sound of the band too much.
"Ride On" is a groove
A good Scott song is "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock N Roll)"
best part of live AC/DC is.... no fade outs. every song ends abruptly, cleanly hard and crisp. love your research!!!
This was the first release, from the first album with Brian Johnson.
Love how you look up the info on the bands❤
They play this song at all sporting events
singer brian from newcastle north east england, the young brothers guitarists are scottish who went to live in australia, bass player english, drummer australian
You are not stupid! You are actually the best reactor!
it's easy to mistake a small pic on your phone. no worries! great reaction!
You beat my comment.
10:05 and other points in the song, are like a combo of Rap, Scat & Rock n Roll rolled into one.
Of course the people growing up in 40's-60s that became these bands we listen to grew up listening to American music(almost in order of appearance to my limited knowledge): Classical (not American), Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Country, Big Band/Americana, 'Black' Rock n Roll, Motown.
That's 9 (recorded) Genres in 60 years not including Classical originating in the 1500's.(recorded on paper first)
Created out of those we got;
1960s to 1970's (UK invasion) of Rock n Roll, Prog Rock, RnB, Funk, Punk, Reggae, Latin, Africana, Disco, Rap, Metal.
Then 1980's: New Wave, Dance(House, Freestyle, Techno, Industrial, Chill, + more), Hip-Hop and Pop.
ALL those led to 1990s Grunge, & Weird Al epic parodies (LOL, 1980's actually but I'm cheating).
That's 17 Genres in 32 years.
A total of 25 Genres in roughly 92 years + Classical.
I can't even think of a new style to come out of the early 1990's to present 2023... Snowflake/Victimhood/Identity Crisis music?
That's 1993 to 2023, 30 yars with, what 1 or 2 new genres?

Brian and Bon almost sound the same. I was fortunate enough to see them with both singers.
Brian Johnson from UK
Let hear some Bon Scott vocals next \m/
❤️ I ALWAYS have to turn this one up when it comes on the radio🙌
Yeah, you can't listen to this turned down. ..& don't forget the head nod when listening... :)
brian in pic to the left with my grandson at a race track outside darlington north east england he was racing his mini that race meet
Yes, Whole Lotta Rosie live at River Plate
You need to check out a song of theirs called Snowballed. It's a barn burner. You need to have the lyrics up too. They're badass. From the Bon era, check out Riff Raff. Both of those songs will get you a speeding ticket. lol
Bon Scott was the original singer he passed away Brian Johnson is what you're listening to he took over for Bon Scott
This album came out on my 16th birthday, talk about sweet sixteenth 🤘🤘🤘
This entire record top to bottom is sick.
"Shoot to Thrill" is my favorite cut. But damn, they open the record with "Hells Bells", JFC, devastating!
If you want to here how the original lead singer Bon Scott sound like talking/singing I highly recommend reacting to their song "Ride on"
Second best selling studio album behind MJs Thriller - Gotta check out Thunderstruck next
If you got the chops go find anything from their 3 nights in a row concerts at River Plate in Argentina in Dec of 2009. You won’t be disappointed!!!!! After all the lads are best tasted live in my humble opinion!!!!!!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😍😍😍🎸🎸🎸🤩😎🍸
Brian Johnson’s vocals in this song were an athletic feat. So was Angus Young’s gyrations and playing
I've tried to get into AC/DC but I'm ELECTRIFIED & SHOCKED ⚡everytime I hear them so have to relent.
You were right in a way because Bon Scott sang Highway to Hell prior to Brian Johnson so you had heard Bon's unique voice as well. AC/DC is always fire! Best band out of Australia.
I grew, as they grew. What a time to be alive Downunder in Australia, it was literally the land of plenty. Opportunity for newcomers. 🤘
That voice is from Newcastle, England. He used to be in a crap band called Geordie until Bon Scott died then he joined AC/DC
AC/DC on big rabbit hole.
Thunderstruck
Whole Lotta Rosie
Walk all over you
Highway to Hell
Hello Bells
She's got the Jack
Come to Florida.. Brian lives in Sarasota.
Welcome to the AC/DC rabbit hole, hold on and enjoy the ride
MUTT LANGE-big reason for success of this album. Mutt produced Back/Black and both HYSTERIA & PYROMANIA for DEF LEPPARD
Bon Scott got drunk and passed out. Eventually he threw up and choked to death on his own vomit. But, sometime before all this happened, the band happened to see Brian Johnson in another band, and Bon said " if something ever happens to me, I want him to replace me ". Kinda funny how things happen, don't ya think?
The album was called back in black because they lost their original singer 4 months prior to releasing the album. It was called Back In Black, because they were back, but they were in mourning
AC/DC Big Balls with Bon Scott
RIP Bon Scott. Another banger is "It's a long way to the Top".
For Bon - check out "Dirty Deeds - Done Dirt Cheap!". AC/DC was fortunate to have two great lead singers in succession.
👏👏👏 GREAT reaction. And.... I LOVE that you look up facts on the songs and artists while reacting!!! I'd like to give you one more fact about AC/DC, this song and this whole album. Not only was this Brian Johnson's very first album as lead singer after Bon's death in 1980.... it is AC/DC's highest selling album period. At last check, the album "BACK IN BLACK" has been certified Platinum 25X's!!!👊 That speaks volumes to its greatness and in my humble opinion... shows that Brian was meant to be lead singer of AC/DC!!! 💯💯💯
Fair warning: As you start to dig deeper into the bands catalogue and go back and listen songs with Bon Scott as lead singer... you are going to find that there's an on-going debate with AC/DC fans. It's the whole "Bon vs. Brian" debate. It can get pretty heated (ridiculous at times😅) in the comment sections! lol!!!🤣😂🤣
Anyway, my thoughts on the subject... Brian Johnson has been AC/DC's lead singer for 42 years now. Bon was only their lead singer for 6 years. While his voice was great as well, his delivery of it was more of a "sleezy" naughty, bad boy vibe. Brian's delivery is more of a playful tough boy. That's more my vibe! So before the debates start... I'm just gonna go ahead and give Brian Johnson some love!! If I'm gonna listen to an AC/DC song... I prefer Brian Johnson!!!🤗
But make no mistake.... ANGUS is the heart and soul of AC/DC!!!🥰 You'll find that out too! I can't with Angus, I just love his spirit!!! Just saying!!😜 Looking forward to watching an AC/DC journey with you. I recommend "THUNDERSTRUCK" live at River Plate. Seriously, you've heard the song everywhere in your life you just didn't know it was AC/DC. That performance is perfect and you're gonna love Angus guitar playing in that one too!!! Peace and light...💞
You are not stupid bro! Bon and Brian are very similar yet so different. The band is always the same and they rock. RIP Bon!
You have to watch them live, check out anything from Donnington 1991 or River Plate 2009. You won’t regret it.
A couple of bands that you might really get into: For fun, would be ZZ Top, for great blues rock, and for a deep, mesmerizing titan of a band; Pink Floyd, for psychedelic, progressive ….oh hell….They were they’re own genre. Hypnotic. Majestic. Genius.
Brian Johnson’s voice is unique and I have heard him speak in real life......
He and his wife dined in our restaurant at Jupiters Casino, Gold Coast, Australia.
He was very gentlemanly, pleasant and his speaking voice was warm but almost normal, just a touch of gravel.
But when I hear him on his TV show, it is full of gravel and hard to understand. lol
Maybe a bit like Colin Hay from Men at Work...... Colin speaks perfect Australian and sounds true blue, but can revert to his normal Scot accent and is impossible to understand..... his real voice and accent is pure Glaswiegan. lol
Lotta ppl say it sounds hip hop rap style of vocal. Very staccato sounding
Love both of the singers. Gotta do 'Dirty Deeds' feat: Bon Scott. Guaranteed you've heard Brian: 'Thunderstruck,' think NFL games.
'Bnblack' - Ironman?
You should do 'For those about to rock.'
No, you're not stupid. 'You Shook Me All Night Long," and "For Those About To Rock," are really good. "T.N.T." is a good Bon Scott song. Brian Johnson's voice sounds that way naturally, even when speaking.
That is not Brian Johnson’s speaking voice, that’s a falsetto he uses to sing. He’s been asked by other singers what he does to warm up his voice, and he tells them “nothing” - he just goes out there and does it.
@@psiclone23 When he speaks, the characteristics of his voice are still present i.e., his voice is naturally gritty.
@@R777-RLM - yes, that accounts for the grittiness but not the pitch, which is from the falsetto.
@@psiclone23 Yeah, I wasn't referring to his falsetto, so maybe I miss wrote. Thanks for pointing this out.
Please react to their official video for their song Thunderstruck. It has over a BILLION views now.
If you want some Bon Scott try the tune Bad Boy Boogie at the Apollo Theater in Glasgow April 1978 live performance or the tune Let There Be Rock from the same show. Angus and the boys will blow your mind!!!! Also the original lead singer Bon Scott is the front man. I think you will like him as well. Just saying!!!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!😎🍸
since you mentioned it.. i think you were reminded of Run DMC + aerosmith - walk this way.
Live at River Plate 2009, Whole Lotta Rosie!
if you wish to hear Bon Scott-Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is a good one. Other AC/DC songs to check out Thunderstruck, Highway to Hell and of course Let There Be Rock! (Bon Scott on lead)
You should listen to the song Jailbreak, or Baby Please Don't Go from the 74 Jailbreak album.
Would love to see your reaction to them! Keep up the good work!
Here a list of ACDC songs
Highway to Hell
Thunderstruck
TNT

Check out ALL their videos from Live at River Plate...
You should do ACDC Touch Too Much, Walk All Over You from ACDC with Bon Scott as the lead singer before he died.
Seriously.
How about reacting to the Brian Johnson's Hoover Vacuum commercial from 1980? Just before he got his current job.
This one hit us all with that intro…..meanwhile you should watch live AC/DC from Riverplate.
Honestly- please check that❤️🎼❤️I’m on this ride since 1981.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Brian Johnson. We lost Bon…RIP
A few more songs to continue your journy with.
let there be rock
its a long way to the top
thunderstruck
I'm a 'dyed in the wool' Bon Scott fan, Brian's alright but to me Bon had a vulnerability and stage presence you are born with and you don't see anymore - I just wanted to hug him. So my favourite songs are 'Whole Lotta Rosie', 'Let There Be Rock', 'Night Prowler', Touch Too Much' and my all time favourite 'Ride On' it was played at my brothers funeral 🥲
I could go on and on and on but I'll stop there 😄❤🤘
Also Bon had wit and charm out the wazoo!
The best movie that plays this song and the whole album is the Stephen King movie Maximum Overdrive. Brian Johnson is the lead singer! You are not stupid, just uninformed for a moment, you got it right in the end! Great reaction!
I totally forgot these songs were on Max Overdrive
Hey Jason, It's a great movie too! Have you re-watched the movie since I mentioned it? I watch it a few times a year just for grins and great music!
@@debbers I have not rewatched; weirdly I am more prone to binge & rewatch t.v. series. Out of King's movies I rewatch Dreamcatchers & Carrie the most... Prob for different reasons. I wish they would remake or redo Tommyknockers, Langoliers, and of course an amazing Gunslinger series would be F'N AWESOME! It's a great time for Talisman also; I wonder if they could do that book ANY justice??
Maybe strictly CGI?
what are your thoughts?
Hey Jason, I would love to see the Talisman made into a mini series, like the Stand or the Mist, you know just a two parter, possibly three. I don't know how they could top the original Tommyknockers or the Langoliers! I suppose with better graphics, I like most of the actors though and don't know if I can get used to new ones, I can't watch the new Carrie for instance or the new IT! I think they both did a crappy job, oh the story fit better the second time around with IT, but they failed miserably with Pennywise nobody can replace Tim Curry in that role! I wonder did they even ask him to come back as Pennywise, do you know? I haven't read the Gunslinger series, it came out at a time when I had very little money so I wasn't able to get that series.And I had a brain aneurysm in 2013 so it's hard for me to keep up with a book I haven't read before, my short term memory sucks and by the time I finish a page I forget what it said, so I've given up trying to read it now. Thank you for your reply and your questions, there aren't enough people willing to talk about Stephen King movies these days! Some people don't even know what you are talking about when you say Maximum Overdrive or Christine!
I should write notes; so I can reply to everything w/o forgetting.
Would you like my #?
I am willing to talk or text; if you are.
Anybody ripping on ya for that is a moron... you don't know until you know... you got great reactions and I appreciate that you look shit up and are honest about what you know and what you don't... isn't that the point of this kinda thing?!?
You’d be surprised how much people hate it but thank you friend!
If you really like Brian’s voice then you should have a listen to Jimmy Barnes from Australia. ( born in Scotland ).
I suggest Cold Stone in Love With You .... an older Jimmy with Joe Bonamassa burning up his Les Paul guitar.
Or the younger Jimmy with band Cold Chisel..... a big rabbit hole here , but you hear both Jimmy’s gravel and his sweet softer voice as well as the sweet voice of Ian Moss , the lead guitarist and co lead singer. lol
I'm the lead singer of AC/DC. Every time I hear AC/DC, I magically become the lead singer of AC/DC. Just ask my neighbors....
AC DC
Thunderstruck
If you know very little about ACDC , start off with their first album : High Voltage with the original singer Bon Scott. Do all the ACDC albums in order with Bon Scott , then move onto Brian Johnson . That's the best way to hear ACDC 🎸
Listen Thunderstruck - ac/dc, hope you like it 👍🏻
To see a great Bon Scott check out "Let There Be Rock" official video... And you're not stupid, we know we all look alike...🤣🤙🍻💞
