It's not hard to understand him, falling down a flight of stairs when he runs around and cavorts around about the stage like that will have been looking at where is going, or what he's doing well, shaking his head so fast.
In Detroit in the late 70s we were 4th or 5th row. Angus guitar strap came of. He backed up and to the side for a guy to reattach it. Angus kept bobbing up and down. As he bobbed up and down the guitar kept going up and down…which meant the guy trying to reattach it had to Bob up and down trying to reattach the strap. It was hilarious. The look on the guys face as he couldn’t do it. Finally he did and Angus bolted back up to the front
i have seen them both with bon and brian while brian is good bon will always be my fav even made a small pilgrimage to the place he was born this summer in scotland kirrimure i think the village is called there is a statue there of bon and a few plaques that make good reading .
RIP Bon. Brian is great but Bon will always be my favorite and this is still my favorite AC/DC song! Wish I could’ve seen Bon but ‘82 was my 1st concert
No other frontman puts a smile on my face like Bon Scott does. I reckon he was born with a microphone in his hand, and that voice????? Always reminds me of alley cats fighting...absolute gold!
Angus Young is the same guitarist you have seen before. But as good as Brian Johnson is as a vocalist, Bon Scott had tons more charisma and the band seemed to rock harder in those days! This was AC/DC at their best!
Bon was fantastic but don't knock Brian too much as he continued the band all those years. This isn't a pissing match but one thing we might agree on is how Angus really was the show stopper 100%. If it were Angus that passed away all those years, could the band go on?
Bon Scott was great and I am very grateful we can still listen to him. They have also produced a tremendous amount of really hard rocking music with Brian Johnson. Every song on the Back in Black album rocks at least as hard in my opinion. They also continue to put on an amazing live show nearly fifty years later. Angus Young is still amazing.
Sure, the same guitarist. He would have been 21 or 22 years old here -- a little old to be wearing a school uniform, but not as much as now 45 years later. In the early days when he first joined his big brother's band he was literally going to rehearsals after school.
The guitarist is Angus Young, his older brother Malcolm is the other guitarist. When this band started Angus was so young he was still in school, so when he got out of school he would rush to the rehearsal still in his school uniform with his school bag over his shoulder and start playing guitar in the band. Apparently some of the times they played were directly after he got out of school and he would rush to the performance still in uniform and start playing. This young teen kid in an adult hard rock band still in his school uniform, yeah the crowd loved it and that became his trademark. Oh the head banging and moves on the stage were too. Bon Scott is an amazing singer and his charisma is out of this world. The song 'Ride On' is his autobiography. His playful songs like 'Big Balls' 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' are just another level. Great work and thanks for sharing. Chris
I saw this tour!! It was their first American appearance in Austin Texas at The Armadillo World Headquarters. March 1977. The stage was 3 feet high and there was no barrier. I stood 4 feet from Bon and Angus while they played this song. They opened for a Canadian band called Moxy, which is who I went to see. AC/DC blew them out of the water.
I saw them in Detroit first 10 rows 4 yrs in a row, Scott's last two and Johnsons first two and Youngs guitar strap came undone and he backed off to the side and back for a guy to put the strap back on. Angus was still bobbing up and down...and the guy had to move up and down with Angus and couldn't get the strap back on. Finally he did and Angus shot back up to the front of the stage. We were so close we saw it and it was awesome. And the first yr they were the warmup band for Aerosmith and they were better than Aerosmith
I never knew ACDC played the Armadillo.That was a good music venue.I went there a couple of times when I was in Austin.Another place I liked was, I think it was called the Boondocks, an old warehouse, off the main drag. Here in Australia, before ACDC went international and were still a Melbourne pub band, Angus would be off the stage and playing on the patrons tables.They were wild times.We had a lot of good acts back in those days.Take a listen to Rose Tattoo with Billy Thorpe playing Goin' Down.
I saw them in concert that year. I was 16. From about 5 minutes into the show the sweat was dripping off of Angus and he kept up that level of energy the whole show. We thought the school boy outfit a joke. Until he started playing. It was one of the few concerts where I didn’t sit down once.
The backpack was for a particular purpose. You see, the first wireless remote set-up for guitar was developed by Ken Schaffer. And, guess who he first chose to try out his new Schaffer tower? That's right, Angus! The remote transmitter was a little too big to clip onto the back of his shorts. So, he used an old school satchel. In theme, & looked the part for sure.
This is hard for most people to wrap their head around, but Angus has been doing this since he was a teenager, and he's nearly 70 now and yea they're still at it.
Aussie here from back in the day… absolutely loved them. National treasures even. Angus was unmissable and Bon is a legend. Together Angus and Bon brought so much humour to the band. Like a couple of kids playing around at being rockstars in the bathroom except they were consummate musicians. Angus really played the part of every school kid air guitar maestro. The most amazing thing is that Angus was able to keep that level of performance up through all the decades of his career. But Angus and Bon were the pin-up boys of the band. 🇦🇺🐨🦘
That backpack is a tradtional leather "satchel" that kids used to carry to school. I had one myself when I started school (showing my age!) Angus had this gimmick of adopting the image of a schoolboy on stage (hence the shorts: boys traditionally wore short trousers at school up to the age of 11.) Sometimes you also even see him wearing a traditional school cap. I think he wanted to present a bizarre image that was totally counter-intuitive to the music, to add to its effect. It worked! BTW I am so glad that you chose a performance with the original vocalist and front-man, Bon Scott. He died too young, and he was truly a one-off; he was Scottish, and met the band after he moved to Australia. No disrespect to Brian Johnson who replaced him, and who is also a great vocalist, but there is only one Bon Scott, and his boots were too big for anyone to ever fill.
I heard Riff Raff at a party in around 1978,instantly became a fan.They weren't that well known in US yet,until Highway to Hell album came out,they exploded here.Bon was a great front man,wish I could have seen a concert with the Bon Scott era.I did see them in Atlanta GA. in 1991 and it was hands down best concert I ever attended,22 song set,Brian has kept the guys going,they are just incredible live!
Bon was incredible! Funny you mentioned Riff Raff. I saw another reactor (DashyXD&DadReacts) react to Riff Raff a while back and they played the live version with Bon. It sounded so good and it's such a great song!
The school boy uniform is Angus' superhero outfit. Back stage they sip tea and smoke cigarettes, reading. As soon as the suit comes on, he is pumped until the end of the show. The first year, he tried dressing in drag, as a cowboy, even in a gorilla suit! Their sister said "why not just wear your old school uni? It was here sewing machine where the name of the band came from (the metal tag stating Alternative Current/Direct Current.....AC/DC)so he tried it in 1974 and it was a hit. It stuck and became his instant path to being 12 again.
@@dancarter482 I got that for my ring tone !!! You can sure here it when it rings...and people turn around to see where the music is coming from..and I have to stop' myself from rocking away wherever I am....
@@wendycox9476 _COOLER than a body on ICE!_ Yeah the studio cut is THE ultimate expression of everything about them that made them so great. It is perfect. If they wanted to do all that crap with Brian they should have changed the name. The magic died with Bon. R.I.P.
one of my fav songs and it's nice to see someone so cute enjoying it for the first time :). Angus Young same guitarist you see today. Bon Scott was ac dc 2nd singer that they took off with...after Bon passed on Brian Johnson took over. I'm more of a Bon guy myself but I like some of the stuff they did with Brian.
Bon Scott was their 2nd singer (1974-1979) and the one who took them from Aussie bars to worldwide fame. He took over for Dave Evans who was the lead singer the first year 1973. Brian Johnson, their 3rd singer, took over after we lost Bon in 1980.
Angus and Malcolm Young (guitars) are the only two who are original and full time members (until Malcolm died a few years ago) They were born in Scotland (as well as Bon Scott and Cliff Williams, bass) They all moved to Australia after a harsh Scottish winter in the mid 50s. Phil Rudd on drums is the only true Aussie in the band, and even he was replaced for a few years in the 90s. Brian Johnson, their singer on River Plate, is from Newcastle England.
Yes...she was a big girl!! The band meet her in Tasmania..off the coast of Oz. She made such an impression"". the band wrote the song about her..The rest as they say...is history.!!
I saw AC/DC back in the day. I can tell you, there was nothing “shocking” about Angus’s book bag he wears, OR his velvet school uniform. There were bands in those days a before that DID do really shocking things on stage, but not these guys. Angus Young, the guitarist and his older brother Malcolm, (recently passed away) are the two original founding members of the band. Malcolm was friends with singer Bon and bassist & drummer. The whole thing behind Angus’s clothes and book bag is because when Angus was a little boy, he would rush home to play his guitar day after day. And he never changed out of his school uniform. He’s be playing guitar in his room with friends and even late at night he’d still be playing in his uniform and his book bag on his shoulder!! They teased him about it. It was cuz he was so anxious to play he never took time to change clothes!! Then they started having rehearsals for their band after school, Angus would show up again, straight from school and play all night in those clothes. Long story short, he ended up on stage in a nightclub where the band accepted a last minute invite to play. Angus had his uniform on with book bag, everyone else had cool clothes for their first show but Angus had to play in school clothes that first night at the club. Well, the people LOVED IT !! So he wore it a second time and they LOVED IT AGAIN!! From that night on it was history. So every time Angus takes the stage, he has on his schoolboy uniform and his book bag to this day!! 🙂 PS. Seeing them live back then was an awesome experience! Watching a video doesn’t do it justice.
Angus, the lead guitar player, is the original. He started the band with his brother Malcolm, who unfortunately died not terribly long ago. Once Angus goes, there is no more AC/DC. Frankly, I don't really think there is after Malcolm shuffled off this mortal coil because he was the chief song writer. But, they kept going.
Listen to the whole album " If You Want Blood You've Got It ". The backpack was a wireless transmitter so Angus Young could move around without having his guitar plugged into the amp.
AC⚡DC, is Rock N Roll at it's finest! I hope you explore more of their songs, because I know you will enjoy their hard driving beat! And I always suggest listening to the studio version first, before watching the live performance. Their 1979 Paris show is phenomenal! I saw Bon and AC DC, 6/29/79, The Rainbow Music Hall, Denver CO. Looking forward to more reactions, Rock On!! 🤘🤘
Angus always wore a schoolboy’s uniform, including the backpack as a bit of a gimmick, I once read it that it was because of something his sister suggested but not sure if that was accurate tbh. I also read that his inspiration for how me moved, whilst playing was Chuck Berry but again not sure if that was a direct quote. The young family comprised of 7 siblings, one sister and 6 brothers. Angus, lead guitar, Malcolm, rhythm guitar, George was the producer and was originally in a band called the Easybeats with Malcolm. There is a lot more information available but would take forever to list it all. Bon Scott was something else and definitely taken too early, his raw bluesy style was very different from Brian Johnston who replaced him after his sad death. I was lucky enough to see both lineups and loved them both for different reasons and understand that Bon and Brian have totally different styles and that’s actually worked well for the longevity of the band. Love it when younger generations check out bands like ac/dc i can’t think of many current entertainers that will have the longevity of bands prior to the millennium 🤔
I read somewhere that Angus (guitarist) would lose 10 or so pounds after each performance and would need to rehydrate. Kinda like boxers before weigh-in day. I've seen them off and on since the mid 80s and he never stops through the whole concert. He gets his steps in.
The old ACDC with Bon Scott (RIP) had a lot of blues songs. It's worth checking out. Another real rock song from that early years is 'Let there be rock'.
I was lucky enough to see them 3 times before Bon passed. The backpack was never really mentioned, the schoolboy outfit was, but not the backpack specifically, but no one really cared. I first saw them on a late night tv show on ITV, went out the next day and bought the only album I could get my hands on - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - played it to death. While the Young brothers ( and family ) were the driving force behind the band they would have been nowhere without the late great Ronald Belford Scott - his stage presence, his voice, and most importantly his songwriting/lyrics are what made AC/DC the band that they are today. Just look at any setlist from any decade and you will find well over 75% of the songs are from the Bon Scott era. Such a pity he wasn’t around to receive the accolades that Back in Black rightly received as he was clearly the writing genius behind most of the tracks on that album.
From the moment I heared the song (waaaaaay back in the 70s) for the first time I have been an AC/DC fan. The Bon Scott days were fantastic and when he passed away I thought it would be the end of the band, but then there was Bryan who, with his own distinct voice, made sure AC/DC would be forever.
It was the summer of 78, we were shoehorning a V8 into a little 71 Gremlin. All of a sudden my cousin slid into the driveway in his red 74 Vette, stood up and yelled, " Hey ! Zoro, you wanna go see AD/DC in concert , NOW ? I threw the wrench down hopped in , he lit a doobie and handed me a brew. Wow good times.. Bon was the bomb and the band was KILLER.. ! Angus always wore a schoolboy outfit on stage. In 79 I was 25 yrs old.Iwas a drummer in ahard rock band Stray Bullets", I played "Freebird" for 50 mins. Badass!
This singer was their second singer, and yes, that is the same guitarist Angus Young. Most of the songs they do live were actually written with Bon Scott
Dave Evans was there first singer before Bon. They released ..Can I sit next to you girl with him. But Bon" well lets just say...had that X" factor...such a bloody character...and a wicked sense of humour. !
Real live performance just as I saw them in 1976 as a 17 year in a small venue in my home town in the UK. Bon Scot was the original singer who died, hence the release of the album 'Back in Black' when the and decided to continue after recruiting Brian Johnson (only English bloke in the band - they were all Australian). Knew they would be huge. 47 years on from first seeing them, I am still a huge fan.
Angus came on stage wearing a school uniform including the backpack. Its been his thing ever since. During some songs he may strip down to just the shorts. He plays and moves like this during every song. Even now, he does it and has to be pushing 70.
The backpack is a wireless unit to transmit the signal from guitar to amplifier. No need for an instrument cable. That's how he runs free around the stage.
Angus & Phil what team watch Angus's feet and Phils drumming they are always in sync. Phil Rudd the bestest rock & roll in the pocket swing drummer that ever sat behind a drum kit.
That's Angus' persona. Hes the school boy in uniform with his school bag. He loat the bag, but never did a show without the school uniform. Legend Aussie band! 🤘👍
You are correct about the guitarists school boy outfit. I had a couple albums and my buddy did as well and even though we looked at the album covers we never really noticed his outfit. Then we saw them live and it was a shock and to be honest and he didn't look very cool. Now it's accepted but we were initially confused. I saw them twice and both times with this singer, Bon Scott. Unfortunately, Bon Scott passed away which is why they changed singers.
I miss Bon Scott's rockin Bagpipes. Angus's sister talked him into wearing a schoolboy uniform when they started out, he normally has the cap on, the school bag must have been just part of the prop for the show
When I was in high school, everybody could do an Angus air guitar 🙂 AC/DC were just a hook factory - every song had a catchy melody that you'd remember immediately
Bon Scott was the driving force behind the band switching to a harder rock than when they had their original singer Dave Evans (Girl I Want To Sit Next To You was the biggest song). Bon actually went to a pub and saw Brian Johnson singing with his former band. He mentioned to the other members that if anything happened to him that Brian would be a great singer for the band. That's how they even looked at Brian instead of shutting down the band.
Angus Young had (maybe still has) this thing that he dressed up in a School uniform, that's why the backpack. Angus (lead guitar) and his brother Malcolm (rythm guitar) were two of the founders of the band. Angus was and I think still is an absolutist (doesn't drink alcohol at all) while Bon was a heavy drinker, and god knows what else he popped into his system, so they had different methods of getting the energy
The backpack is actually a book bag that goes along with his school suit and hat. He dropped off the book bag a long time ago but the school suit and hat stay- at least for part of the show.
Angus could fall down a flight of stairs while playing the guitar and not miss a single note!
Absolutely fuckin love it 😅
It's not hard to understand him, falling down a flight of stairs when he runs around and cavorts around about the stage like that will have been looking at where is going, or what he's doing well, shaking his head so fast.

This is the first time I've seen him carry a satchel! So funny, I used to carry one too in the 60's in England. Made me laugh almost 50 years later.

I saw AC/DC with Bon, twice in the 70's. By far, the best singer that they ever had.
This was Australia in the late 70's every pub on every corner had had a band bashing out covers of ACDC.
Bon Scott was AC/DCs best lead vocal but not their first . Dave Evans was the original. He sang "Can i sit next to you girl " on its first release.

Bon Scott started in a pop band called, the Valentines. They did songs like, "build me up buttercup"...
I was 11 when this song came out. Angus dressed like an Austrailian school boy, hence the over the shoulder schatel.

The whole thing behind Angus’s clothes and book bag is because when Angus was a little boy, he would rush home to play his guitar day after day. And he never changed out of his school uniform. He’s be playing guitar in his room with friends and even late at night he’d still be playing in his uniform and his book bag on his shoulder!! They teased him about it. It was cuz he was so anxious to play he never took time to change clothes!! Then they started having rehearsals for their band after school, Angus would show up again, straight from school and play all night in those clothes. Long story short, he ended up on stage in a nightclub where the band accepted a last minute invite to play. Angus had his uniform on with book bag, everyone else had cool clothes for their first show but Angus had to play in school clothes that first night at the club.
Well, the people LOVED IT !! So he wore it a second time and they LOVED IT AGAIN!! From that night on it was history. So every time Angus takes the stage, he has on his schoolboy uniform and his book bag to this day!! 🙂
PS. Seeing them live back then was an awesome experience! Watching a video doesn’t do it justice.
Angus, the lead guitar player, is the original. He started the band with his brother Malcolm, who unfortunately died not terribly long ago. Once Angus goes, there is no more AC/DC. Frankly, I don't really think there is after Malcolm shuffled off this mortal coil because he was the chief song writer. But, they kept going.
Best live is Glasgow Apollo in 1978 where “ If you want blood , you’ve got it “ live album was recorded
Listen to the whole album " If You Want Blood You've Got It ". The backpack was a wireless transmitter so Angus Young could move around without having his guitar plugged into the amp.
AC⚡DC, is Rock N Roll at it's finest! I hope you explore more of their songs, because I know you will enjoy their hard driving beat! And I always suggest listening to the studio version first, before watching the live performance. Their 1979 Paris show is phenomenal! I saw Bon and AC DC, 6/29/79, The Rainbow Music Hall, Denver CO. Looking forward to more reactions, Rock On!! 🤘🤘
Angus always wore a schoolboy’s uniform, including the backpack as a bit of a gimmick, I once read it that it was because of something his sister suggested but not sure if that was accurate tbh.
I also read that his inspiration for how me moved, whilst playing was Chuck Berry but again not sure if that was a direct quote.
The young family comprised of 7 siblings, one sister and 6 brothers.
Angus, lead guitar, Malcolm, rhythm guitar, George was the producer and was originally in a band called the Easybeats with Malcolm.
There is a lot more information available but would take forever to list it all.
Bon Scott was something else and definitely taken too early, his raw bluesy style was very different from Brian Johnston who replaced him after his sad death.
I was lucky enough to see both lineups and loved them both for different reasons and understand that Bon and Brian have totally different styles and that’s actually worked well for the longevity of the band.
Love it when younger generations check out bands like ac/dc i can’t think of many current entertainers that will have the longevity of bands prior to the millennium 🤔
Seen them live 5 times, once with Bon. One of the best live bands ever.
I read somewhere that Angus (guitarist) would lose 10 or so pounds after each performance and would need to rehydrate. Kinda like boxers before weigh-in day. I've seen them off and on since the mid 80s and he never stops through the whole concert. He gets his steps in.
Yes the guitarists have always been the young brothers. Angus on lead and Malcolm on rythmn.
RIP Malcolm 🤘
The old ACDC with Bon Scott (RIP) had a lot of blues songs. It's worth checking out. Another real rock song from that early years is 'Let there be rock'.
Yeah, that is one of the best!
It was the whole school boy look , backpack & all. His sister's idea 😅
Highly Energetic, I ❤ it 😎
Voted No.1 R&R "Frontman/ Lyricist Of All-time!!( Several Actual Votes/ Elimination Contests..Just Sayin'.. 🎤🎶🎵🎶😎👍
I was lucky enough to see them 3 times before Bon passed. The backpack was never really mentioned, the schoolboy outfit was, but not the backpack specifically, but no one really cared. I first saw them on a late night tv show on ITV, went out the next day and bought the only album I could get my hands on - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - played it to death.
While the Young brothers ( and family ) were the driving force behind the band they would have been nowhere without the late great Ronald Belford Scott - his stage presence, his voice, and most importantly his songwriting/lyrics are what made AC/DC the band that they are today. Just look at any setlist from any decade and you will find well over 75% of the songs are from the Bon Scott era. Such a pity he wasn’t around to receive the accolades that Back in Black rightly received as he was clearly the writing genius behind most of the tracks on that album.
From the moment I heared the song (waaaaaay back in the 70s) for the first time I have been an AC/DC fan. The Bon Scott days were fantastic and when he passed away I thought it would be the end of the band, but then there was Bryan who, with his own distinct voice, made sure AC/DC would be forever.
It was the summer of 78, we were shoehorning a V8 into a little 71 Gremlin. All of a sudden my cousin slid into the driveway in his red 74 Vette, stood up and yelled, " Hey ! Zoro, you wanna go see AD/DC in concert , NOW ? I threw the wrench down hopped in , he lit a doobie and handed me a brew. Wow good times.. Bon was the bomb and the band was KILLER.. ! Angus always wore a schoolboy outfit on stage. In 79 I was 25 yrs old.Iwas a drummer in ahard rock band Stray Bullets", I played "Freebird" for 50 mins. Badass!
This singer was their second singer, and yes, that is the same guitarist Angus Young. Most of the songs they do live were actually written with Bon Scott
Dave Evans was there first singer before Bon. They released ..Can I sit next to you girl with him. But
Bon" well lets just say...had that X" factor...such a bloody character...and a wicked sense of humour. !
I was 17 in 1977
I'm going to their contert this summer, I'm so excited!
Thank you for doing an AC DC reaction with Bon Scott in it quite refreshing.
Real live performance just as I saw them in 1976 as a 17 year in a small venue in my home town in the UK. Bon Scot was the original singer who died, hence the release of the album 'Back in Black' when the and decided to continue after recruiting Brian Johnson (only English bloke in the band - they were all Australian). Knew they would be huge. 47 years on from first seeing them, I am still a huge fan.
Year I was born ..but I grew up with these guys 🔥🔥🔥
Angus came on stage wearing a school uniform including the backpack. Its been his thing ever since. During some songs he may strip down to just the shorts. He plays and moves like this during every song. Even now, he does it and has to be pushing 70.
NOW THAT WAS AC/DC !!!!!!
The backpack is a wireless unit to transmit the signal from guitar to amplifier. No need for an instrument cable. That's how he runs free around the stage.
It still surprises me to this day that Angus does not have CTE with all that head banging over5 decades ....Total champion.
The backpack was part of his on-stage persona as "The Bad Schoolboy" along with the shorts socks etc
Angus Young is guitarist. Born March 1955. He was 22 here. Live at River Plate he was 54.
WoW memory lane god i feel old.
He drinks a special tea. Angus is amazing! Top 5 guitarist in the world IMHO.
19 stones is 266 pounds. That is a whole lot of Rosie!
Bon Scott visited the Virgin Islands once, they're now just known as the Islands...
LMAO". !! Bon would love that one !!! He's rolling round on the other side mate. X
Angus' backpack also housed the wireless transmitter for his guitar (he has no guitar lead).
Honey at River Plate he's 60 , here he's a BABY 🐥
Angus & Phil what team watch Angus's feet and Phils drumming they are always in sync. Phil Rudd the bestest rock & roll in the pocket swing drummer that ever sat behind a drum kit.
Bon Scott is a living legend he's voice is so special but Brian Johnson is legend aswell
He’s not the former singer, he is THE singer. Brian Johnson has been a good substitute but nobody could sing like Bon.
You are very sweet x. Great band, Bon Scott was an outstanding front man!!!
Thank you very much 😊
i love you Inna. Please keep pouring your loving vibes into this world.
Top man Bon Scott, had the privilege to see them in their Powerage tour of 78. So spoilt in the 70s, check out up to my neck in you, kicks ass.
That's Angus' persona. Hes the school boy in uniform with his school bag. He loat the bag, but never did a show without the school uniform.
Legend Aussie band! 🤘👍
You are correct about the guitarists school boy outfit. I had a couple albums and my buddy did as well and even though we looked at the album covers we never really noticed his outfit. Then we saw them live and it was a shock and to be honest and he didn't look very cool. Now it's accepted but we were initially confused. I saw them twice and both times with this singer, Bon Scott. Unfortunately, Bon Scott passed away which is why they changed singers.
The music is the energy for them they always kick ass it's allot of fun keep rocking
I remember seeing Angus using an oxygen tank on stage as he was so exhausted. He would go off into the wings and have a top up to keep him going 😂
yep thats in the acdc film....forgot what thats called.
its the let there be rock live video still have the tape but nothing to play it on now sadly@@briandoornink7597
I miss Bon Scott's rockin Bagpipes. Angus's sister talked him into wearing a schoolboy uniform when they started out, he normally has the cap on, the school bag must have been just part of the prop for the show
Angus is dressed as schoolboy and the bag is an old fashioned school satchel, used to carry books etc to and from school.
When I was in high school, everybody could do an Angus air guitar 🙂 AC/DC were just a hook factory - every song had a catchy melody that you'd remember immediately
malcolm was the "hook factory" by most accounts
So hard to pick top 5 songs, but this one is definitely TOP 3
RIP the best ACDC singer Bon Scott RIP Malcom Young always missed The Bon Scott era better songs and Rocked harder not all songs sounded alike
Weighin in at 19 stones
That's a whole lot of women !!!! LOL""
He did that all night long 👍
Bon Scott was the driving force behind the band switching to a harder rock than when they had their original singer Dave Evans (Girl I Want To Sit Next To You was the biggest song). Bon actually went to a pub and saw Brian Johnson singing with his former band. He mentioned to the other members that if anything happened to him that Brian would be a great singer for the band. That's how they even looked at Brian instead of shutting down the band.
Angus would lose 4 lbs in sweat every concert. He has knocked out his own teeth playing guitar
2:50 AC/DC Live at Rivendell 😅😅😅
Nice reaction video 👍
🔥🔥💪🏻bon scott legend
Angus Young had (maybe still has) this thing that he dressed up in a School uniform, that's why the backpack.
Angus (lead guitar) and his brother Malcolm (rythm guitar) were two of the founders of the band.
Angus was and I think still is an absolutist (doesn't drink alcohol at all) while Bon was a heavy drinker, and god knows what else he popped into his system, so they had different methods of getting the energy
The man Mr Bon Scott🔥
Angus said he would eat a bunch of candy bars before each show for his energy
RIP BON AND MALCOLM rock on Angus!
Bon Scott we miss you❤
The backpack is actually a book bag that goes along with his school suit and hat. He dropped off the book bag a long time ago but the school suit and hat stay- at least for part of the show.
