Bon Scott was rock n roll, born rock and roll, lived rock and roll like a freight train, then unfortunately died rock and roll. Some people are just meant to be greater than legendary
Definitely one of the most distinctive and unique rock voices of all time. Hands down my favorite AC/DC front man. Brian is obviously great, but who could ever live up to Bon?
@@MsCaleb79 compared to Steven Tyler, obviously! But once Bon opened up to give a proper scream that rock n roll hole was like a train tunnel of power!
Malcolm always seemed happy not talking and being in the background while Angus and Bon handled the interviews. You know, I love Powerage like Eddie Van Halen and Keith Richards. I don't know how many others say this but that album was Malcolm's album to me- besides Bon turning in his best and most advanced lyrics ever. You sort of couldn't say any of Bon's albums were his because he was just that consistent, but Powerage is Malcolm's finest hour.
I see Powerage as Bon's album. It's his most personal set of lyrics. Malcolm always brings it, but I feel like Let There Be Rock was where he birthed modern AC/DC.
@@MusclesHockeymask I agree. I didn't mean to slag Malcolm. I think everyone really excels on that record. Even Angus' soloing got more diverse (some country style licks in there too), but for me it's like Bon's confessional. He's always been one who wrote about his experiences, but on Powerage you can feel the full weight of his heartbreak.
@@1Deep43VA You can reconstruct the Aussie version of High Voltage with tracks from '74 Jailbreak, Backtracks, and the international version of High Voltage. It's a very different kind of album than what they later made. Less conservative and probably not ideal because they couldn't record it as an actual band. They had a revolving door of drummers and had to get help from George, the eldest Young brother. I think Malcolm even had to play some of the bass parts.
Rest In Peace Bon.You are missed greatly.would have loved to see what AC-DC would have become with you up front.No disrespect to Brian.He had big shoes to fill and he killed it🤘🏻.
Sooner rather than later, had he not died, they would have fired him. It was only Angus pleading with Malcolm and Fifa Riccobono pleading with Bon that kept him from being dumped after Highway to Hell. If Ted Albert had of even heard a whisper about Bon's rumoured heroin use, Malcolm would have had an ultimatum - get a new singer or get a new label. And the latter choice would have meant paying Albert back the mountains of money they owed him. No brainer for Mal.
Best thing I ever saw was when The Stones and AC/DC were playing together and they show Malcolm and I think Keith Richards face to face. Ya have to see the look on Malcolm’s face while he was jamming. Like he’s standing next to a God and just having the time of his life. It’s on UA-cam. Worth watching.
Funny but, it also make me think of my time as an active addict. I'd vanish for 2-3 days at a clip and when I was finally home, I always had very little recollection of where I was, who I was with, etc. Sobriety is incredible. I got 35 second chances and finally cashed in on one.
There's a statue of Bon in Scotland where he was born. I've not seen it in person but I remember them putting it up. Not many Rock stars played bagpipes in their music.
There’s also one in Fremantle (Australia) where he was raised. Local government through in a bunch of money to build it and 100,000 people turned up for its unveiling. Shows just how loved he is in both countries. Funny thing is though, I could imagine Bon going on a bender and then staggering down to where his statue is and pissing on it. 😝 Absolute legend.
Some old vids came across my feed on here the other nights. They were some very good footage of them playing somewhere, with Bon at the mic. I wanna say it was Whole Lotta Rosie, and it is also a very fine performance of it, nice to have it on film.
Jesse finks book was biased and is a bon wrote back in black conspiracy theorist. I wouldn't trust Jesse fink. He also claimed George played bass on peerage and not cliff Williams. Even cliff Williams himself said it was hogwash what Jesse claimed. Cliff played on that album
@@rocknroll1973Jesse's right. All you need to do is read the lyrics of the songs on Back in Black and it's obvious that Bon wrote them. His writing style was very unique. The quality of AC/DC's lyrics and songs weren't even remotely the same after the Back in Black album.
@@kellykarcher7179 Jesse is wrong. I read the lyrics and don't see bons writing at all. And I disagree about the quality of lyrics not being the same after back in black. This is all subjective opinion and in no way proves bons wrote back in black
@@rocknroll1973 Are you kidding? 95% of the lyrics after the BIB album are horrendous. Do you really think that Brian Johnson joined the band, got acclimated with his new mates, and then wrote all of those lyrics in a matter of just 5 short months? Johnson only wrote a handful of songs with his previous band, "Geordie" in the 6 years he was with them.. Even Bon's ex-girlfriends have stated that Bon wrote those lyrics. It's a shame the Young brothers never gave the writing credits to Bon on the BIB album. Of course, if they did that, they would've had to pay his estate a heck of a lot of money! And it all comes down to money, doesn't it?
@@heraldeventsandfilms5970 says the one judging someone on two words. It's actually a very common phrase in Yorkshire. Does it make you feel big and strong to pull people down from behind your keyboard?

Wow, so weird all these people in the comments have experienced the same thing! I just outgrew the stuff years ago. I can take a single hit these days and get so high it’s like I’m tripping. I have smoked a hit before performing music and it was kind of like I was watching myself play. I guess that’s exactly what he was describing.

You can tell it really hurts Angus. I think he always tells the funny anecdotes as a way of coping. Bon was the lightning in the middle.
Not seeing it. Bon had died long before Angus told this story. Any hurting or coping was in the rearview mirror.

Funny story and I laughed, but it also made me think about what addiction can do to a person. Rest in peace Bon.
Well, addicted never did that to me. But who knows
Most of the great ones from that era were addicts. Difference was there was no fentanyl and no AIDS back then. The 70’s were wild.
