  • For many fans, Bon Scott was a legendary frontman without equal, and his powerful voice was the key. After his tragic death, the virtually unknown Brian Johnson stepped into the breach, and AC/DC came storming back with the classic album Back in Black.
    Cast: Jerry Ewing, Malcolm Dome, Paul Elliot
    Director: The Creative Picture Company
    Band Members: Brian Johnson - lead vocals, Angus Young - lead guitar, Malcolm Young - rhythm guitar, backing vocals, Cliff Williams - bass guitar, backing vocals, Phil Rudd - drums, percussion
    AC/DC formed in Sydney in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Their music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, but the band themselves call it simply "rock and roll". Back in Black was dedicated to Scott's memory. The album launched AC/DC to new heights of success and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. Hits from the album include "Hells Bells", "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" and the title track. The album reached No.1 in the UK and No.4 in the US, where it spent 131 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart.

      It was a tragedy that rocked Australia, but I saw Bon live in pubs and venues only, Brian I've only seen at the stadiums. It's impossible to rate one above the other, and why would I,. As a muso who played around Sydney years ago, it's the music and blending of the band that attracted me like a magnet.

He is just not that type of guy. It's hard to let go of a hero that died and to put him on the top, it's just not possible Brian would do that.

    I seen AC DC when I was 8 yrs old.I cried because I knew My Mom was going and I loved them,so she took me, They opened for Alice Cooper. It was 1976. It changed my life,I am 54 yrs old in a couple weeks and I play lead Guitar in my band, I can trace it all the way back to first hearing AC DC to first seeing Them,when I saw them and felt that drive and seen Angus go,,, THAT WAS IT, !! I never missed a Tour,I seen Bon 3 times.Highway to Hell in 1979 , and I seen Nantucket open for them In 81 for the Back in Black tour. I love those Guys so much,when I hear their music im flooded with memories, Always a Fan..

    Whether he’s young or old, Brian Johnson is in my top five of the best vocalists in hard rock history, just as AC/DC is one of the top five groups in history. I don’t say that lightly because they’ve outlasted most of the true giants of the genre, and I’ve been privileged to have seen just about all of them in my life.

    As for Hells Bells, Brian said on the Dan Rather interview that he literally described a heavy tropical storm in the Bahamas, where they recorded Back in black (Compass Point studios, Nassau). He may have added some references to Bon as well (you‘re only young but you‘re gonna die), but for the most part it is inspired by the storm that went down when Brian wrote the dark, menacing lyrics. Good job, Brian!

    AC/DC got very lucky with Brian. They got a guy who is as humble as ever. Even today, Brian just sees himself as just another guy. If he was already known & a personality like David Lee Roth, he could’ve easily bumped heads with Malcolm & Angus. Just shows how great Brian is & how he does not step on Bon’s legacy in anyway

I refused to believe Bon passed. Until i actually saw that it was Brian singing lol. Both of these guys added to AC/DC. Brian continued to bring the band to the success they acheived.

    When talking about Phil Rudd and "the fact" that he was/is the best drummer for AC/DC (and I totally agree, even though I actually really fell in love with the band with The Razor's Edge album), it's mind boggling that these "experts" don't mention the obvious difference between Simon Wright's, Chris Slade's and Rudd's drumming styles. Rudd' back beat drumming just fits so very well with Malcolm's rhythm guitar and is clearly (imo) the "true" AC/DC beat. Just my 0.05$

    Angus and Brian once said how the cannons came to be added to For Those About To Rock... They said while working on that album, cannons were being shot off for Charles and Diana's wedding. The band liked the sound and added them in. Hells Bells was written in honor of Bon Scott.
    Why I believe Brian works so well is the fact that his voice and Bons are a similar color. (Texture) The fact that Bon said for the band to get Brian was a great compliment from Bon.
    I love multiple genres of music. I have ACDC, Backstreet Boys, Eagles, Metallica, and Beach Boys all on my playlists. Even Paul McCartney is an ACDC fan. I know him and we've often chat about our favorite songs and ACDC is definitely on the list. 😊

    It’s so fascinating to me because it’s almost FATE that Brian got the job. As if the universe wanted him/needed him to get it.
    Before Bon Scott joined up with the Young brothers to form AC/DC he was in a band called Fraternity.
    Brian was in a band called Geordie who had a couple of top 40 hits in the UK.
    When Fraternity was touring Great Britain they had a gig where they were opening for Geordie. When Brian and his fellow band mates arrived they suited up and performed their set. Well, midway through a song Brian collapsed on his back and was flailing around; apparently having been struck by appendicitis.
    Unbeknownst however to Brian, Bon had been watching the set and when Brian began kicking and flailing Bon was over the moon because he thought it was part of his act. Brian’s stage antics reminded Bon of his heroes, James Brown and Little Richard.
    Later that same night, Geordie joined Fraternity on their tour bus and had a couple of drinks then went their separate ways the next day.
    Sometime later Bon joined up with AC/DC and one day mentioned offhand that he wasn’t impressed with the rock scene in Britain when he toured there previously, EXCEPT for this one band with a wild singer named Brian Johnson who reminded him of Little Richard. He was really impressed by that Brian fella. And Bon Scott didn’t like too many singers.
    Flash forward to 1980.
    Bon tragically passes away from alcohol poisoning.
    Malcom and Angus remain undecided about whether or not they should continue the band. They’d just broken through with Highway to Hell, but they weren’t superstars…yet.
    They decide to continue.
    A random fan from Cleveland, Ohio managed to contact their camp. The fan who followed the scene in Britain suggested a guy whom he believed would be a good fit for the band:
    Brian Johnson.
    Malcolm and Angus Young were thrown, “Wasn’t that the bloke Bon said he was impressed with all those years ago?” They recalled.
    Then their producer Mutt Lange also suggested a guy he’d known of on the scene…a man named BRIAN JOHNSON.
    The name kept coming up from two random sources so Angus and Malcolm knew then that they had to find this Brian and audition him.
    Brian, meanwhile…had been living with his parents in his native Newcastle and pretty much retired from music. Geordie wasn’t going anywhere except for clubs so he’d opened his own auto body shop.
    One day he got a call from an Eastern European woman who told him that a particular band wanted him to come to audition.
    The woman was hesitant to name the band but eventually relented and told Johnson that it was AC/DC, whom he’d heard of because they were developing a big following.
    However…Johnson didn’t want to drive six hours from Newcastle to London because he was thirty-two, had his own business, was semi-retired from showbiz and was convinced he wouldn’t get the gig because AC/DC was a whole other level. So he declined.
    But, as fate would have it, a friend of his who did some work for Monte Python called about thirty minutes later to offer Brian some work. A commercial for Hoover vacuums.
    The gig would pay him £350 plus residuals, but it was in London. However since it was a paid gig, Brian quickly accepted and then called back the mysterious woman to tell her that he’d be in London the following Monday and would be able to do the audition.
    Monday came and Brian left the studio having done the Hoover jingle and collected his money. It was late in the afternoon and he found himself stuck at a crossroads:
    He could drive a mile down the street and meet with AC/DC, a gig he’d never get. Or…he could drive the 5-6 hours back to Newcastle because he had to get home and open up his shop early in the morning.
    Brian chose to go to the audition.
    After a warm welcome from the band, they performed a few songs with Brian.
    Almost immediately Malcolm got goosebumps; magic was in the air.
    Angus and Malcolm were caught in Brian’s spell. They NEVER wanted the audition to end. It was like love at first sight.
    But Brian had to leave, despite his reluctance to do so since he felt the magic too.
    A few days later the band called him back and the rest is history.

    ACDC fans are in for a shock! Bon Scott is alive and well. He is Colin Hay of "Men at Work" Because is it coincidental that they are both Aussies with Ancestral Roots to Scottland???
    " The reason why he wanted out! The long time away on tour from his family and the demands of being on the road was more than he could take!
    He wanted to make music on his own terms and likewise to go on tour at his own conveinience!
    The song "Back in Black" was his resignation to move away from the spotlight!
    The lyrics were his signature resignation and the clue to how he would depart from the Band!
    "Back in black I hit the Sack! (Bon Scott was referring to how he would be supposedly found dead whlile he was asleep!
    and leaving the Spotlight by slowly fading to the darkness of returning back to a life of normacy away from the bright lights!
    "I have got nine lives! (He is referring to how he survived many dangerous events a Bike accident, alcoholisn and how he was going to reinvent himself!)
    "I have got "Cats eyes" (This is a important clue that he has successfully changed his identity!
    And the only way you would ever know its him if you ever saw him again is He had this rare "eye condition" that looked like how a Cat looks around because they would operarate independently of each other and moving in different directions!
    Now some people may say wait a minute they have different Birth dates! This is a common practice when hiding ones true identity together with a change of hairstyles!
    But I think he still played a active role in the Band with ACDC as a "Ghost Writer"
    because every song that ACDC sang after Bon Scotts supposed death sounded like he still had his "trait mark signature" on all of ACDC's songs!
    So its up to Colin Hay of "Men at Work" if he wants to come out "the darkness" of "Back in Black" and back into the Spotlight" again to say to his loyal fans and say to them!
    "Hey MTF's guess whose back from a "Back in Black" hyatus!
    And is there any photos of Bon Scott in a Coffin in a funeral service?? And how many photos does Colin Hay have of himself in his earlier years with him and his family???
    The same goes for Morgan Freeman who is actually "Jimi Hendrix" and "Lady Gaga" who is actually "Amy Winehouse!
    And is it coincidental that all three just happen to burst on the Social Scene shortly after the supposed passing of these legendary "Musical Icons?????
    Can you imagine if all three decided to tour together. And their Band name would be called "Grievance Clean Detox Revival???

      No they weren't, it's a stupid myth, if he'd have written the songs they'd have been credited to him.
      As far as that jerk off who makes the claim about some mysterious notebook that Bonn had already written all the lyrics for Back in Black in he's just some washed up has been from days gone by whose trying to make himself relevant again.
      Not that I believe someone besides Brian Johnson wrote those lyrics but to anyone who says there's no way he did if he didn't the answer is obvious who did.
      Who was with him in the Bahamas when it's known he wrote them? The person who's considered to be the greatest producer and song writer of the era, Mutt Lang.
      There's no way Bonn wrote them, first off if he had those guy's would have credited him, but following the timeline he was burned out really bad and had even mentioned to several people that he was getting so tired of the whole music scene he was considering quiting the band but he had a hard time coming to terms with the thought of breaking that to the rest of the guy's, he probably wasn't serious but that certainly not the mindset of someone who wrote the lyrics for what some people consider the greatest rock album of all time.
      I don't believe anyone but Brian Johnson wrote those songs, he was just hitting his stride in life and he was on top of the world over getting the dream gig of a lifetime, yea, he wrote them.
      And I refuse to believe that those guy's would have shit all over the memory of their buddy Bonn by ripping him off for the credit of having written them, I can't believe some of the fans who think that they've got more feelings and respect for Bonn than the guy's who were in the band with him, for them to think so highly of Bonn and believe that his band mates that'd been through so much with him would have ripped his memory off like that implies that they think more of Bonn and cared more about him than those guy's did, what an ego trip that is, wow.

    Of course it's Brian's album, every change of membership creates a new dynamic, we seldom hear all this squabbling when a new Bass player steps in, or a new Drummer, and now Stevie has big shoes to fill, not duplicate. If you lie down with a quality set of headphones, not those tiny things clogged up with earwax and puss, you will hear the difference if you set up your music files properly. And don't start picking them to pieces, or comparing and rating, Listen To The Bloody Music, enjoy the evolution and each member on his own merits.

    Most people don’t know that Krokus singer Marc Storace was another option to replace Bon. I wouldn’t mind hearing him sing some AC/DC songs after Bon’s death but to me he’s too similar. “Long Stick Goes Boom” is a great example

    • @Gratefulman1965
      @Gratefulman1965 Рік тому +3

      Marc declined the offer from AC/DC, He stated that at the time of Bon’s death Krokus was really starting to pick up steam so he wanted to honor his commitment to the band. Marc also says he is okay these days with the Bon comparison. He hated that for years. He said as an artist you strive for your individuality and that comparison really rubbed him wrong when he was younger. Now if you want to hear Marc pull some real AC/DC tones out listen to the 2013 release “Dirty Dynamite”
      Tracks like Hard rocking man, Go baby go, Hallelujah rock n roll, Live ma life. I’ll tell you it’s like Bon made into his 60’s. Marc just kills on that album🎶

Dans vocals on Hair of the dog album must have been an inspiration to Brian. Superb album and Brian is a stand up guy for taking on a tough job with AC/DC ( As Brian has stated he was a 30 something loser living in his parents basement when AC/DC called) and pulling it off.🎶
