- Considered one of the greatest hard rock albums ever made, "Highway to Hell" is in the spotlight! Delve into the genius of the record with those who worked on it, friends of Bon Scott, AC/DC biographers, and others who were there at the time! Discovers how the album was made, how it was received, and how it still inspires musicians and fans alike to this day. Featuring rare and classic performances and footage of the group, interviews with Bon Scott and Angus Young, exclusive contributions from friends, colleagues, journalists and biographers, every track from the album reviewed and reappraised by a panel of esteemed experts and plenty more. Although it wasn't until after the release of the "Highway to Hell" album that AC/DC became global superstars, the era most fondly remembered by fans of this extraordinary band is when Bon Scott was at the helm - between 1974 and 1980. And if there's one album from that time that illustrates best what the mighty 'DC was all about during those years, it has to be "Highway To Hell".
Clips and song performances in the film include: Stiff Upper Lip, Whole Lotta Rosie, Jailbreak, This House Is On Fire, Guns For Hire, Sin City, What You Do For Money Honey, Problem Child, Hells Bells, Touch Too Much, T.N.T., For Those About Rock.
Highway to Hell is the sixth studio album by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released on 27 July 1979. It was the last album featuring lead singer Bon Scott, who would die early the following year on 19 February 1980. It propelled the band into the top ranks of hard rock acts. It is the second highest-selling AC/DC album (behind Back in Black) and is generally considered one of the greatest hard rock albums ever made. Greg Kot of Rolling Stone writes, "The songs are more compact, the choruses fattened by rugby-team harmonies. The prize moment: Scott closes the hip-grinding 'Shot Down in Flames' with a cackle worthy of the Wicked Witch of the West." In a 2008 Rolling Stone cover story, David Fricke notes: "Superproducer 'Mutt' Lange sculpted AC/DC's rough-granite rock into chart-smart boogie on this album." AllMusic calls the song "Highway to Hell" "one of hard rock's all-time anthems." In 2003, the album was ranked number 199 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and 200 in a 2012 revised list.
All tracks are written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott.

![NEW 2020 AC/DC INTERVIEW! [FULL]. I talk to Angus Young about the AC/DC legacy, guitars and PWR⚡️UP!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/WRSvoN6eHuY/mqdefault.jpg)
I miss Bon Scott, he was the best front man ever.
When Bon died, I was crushed. This is the band that changed my world. Rock on, Gentlemen. Rock on. 🖤⚡️
I saw the video clip of Bon Scott in the pulpit dressed as a vicar and it was brilliant. Apart from Zeppelin and Jagger there was only Ozzy that had something special. Bon come along and was a total revelation, head case, party animal and rocker all in one. He was a comedian and shocked probably every Eton schoolboys yuppee parent and schoolgirls father into putting their teenage daughters on the pill.
No disrepect to Brian, but I was spoiled by Bon. I obtained a bootleg copy of "Let There Be Rock" before it was released in the U.S., and Bon and Angus turned me into an immediate, hard core fan. Bon was absolutely unique, and it hit me hard when he died. When AC/DC reappeared with Brian and "Back in Black", I was devastated by the vocals, and how much AC/DC sounded so different. I'm still a huge fan, but will always continue to miss Bon. I was fortunate to have seen him live approx. 6 months before he died.
Angus was not in school when he joined AC/DC. He was 18 by that time and he had dropped out of HS at age 15. It was one of the several costumes he tried; it was the one that stuck.
The energy with Bon Scott at the helm was off the hook. Never the same with Brian. RIP to one of if not the greatest frontman ever.
But the energy coming from Brian has always been much higher than if they had hauled Bon's dead body up on stage.
@@steveshattah only slightly.
With that being said they could have never found someone to take over like Brian look at Alice they can't find that right one
He wasn’t Bon, he is Brian. Two men who enjoy the sound of rock and roll. He brought his own uniqueness with him and was able to fill his boots so well. To the point when after Bon had seen Brian perform at a gig years before his death. He told the band if he ever can’t perform, Brian is the man
@@robertsteven3957 that's a crazy story almost unbelievable that the wild man singer knew that he was living on the edge and recommended to his band a guy from across the world to take his place if anything happened to him.
I saw AC/DC twice in the summer of ‘79. In June they were the backup band for UFO and blew them off the stage. Angus went through the audience playing his guitar and also pop the moon on stage. It was awesome. I saw them again in August and they were the headliner. Prior to their first performance I’d only heard them on underground or college radio.
👍🇸🇪
They blew UFO offstag?? Hard as they are also a superb live band
I remember when I became a fan back in the late 70’s. Nobody liked them except for a couple of my pals and me. That made us love them even more!
I was fifteen when Bon died. I miss that guy to this day, I’m now 58. Still a fan but it’s all so different since Bon left us.⚡️
Definitely. I’ve grown up through the 80s listening to them. They are the soundtrack to my life. But Bon was the man with the material - the lyrics. He gave them the AC/DC image and Angus said that himself.
With Bon you had not only great music by Mal and Angus, but great witty lyrics that told a, often hilarious, sometimes sad and lonely, story which made the songs _that_ much bigger, better and epic sounding.
Bravo pour votre commentaire je suis dans le même état que vous depuis que Bon Scott est mort comme vous dites ça n'a plus rien à voir Bon Scott est une icone irremplaçable pour moi ac DC sans Bon Scott ce n'est pas ac DC y me manque énormément
AC/DC is just strait up rock & roll with no apologies !
AC/DC is for sure one of those bands that will never ever be forgotten. I remember growing up in South Carolina ? And they were very much part of my childhood. my mom she’s Scottish like the Young’s and Bon are and were. To me it doesn’t matter where somebody is from or what they look like and I know nobody was implying either one? If the music is good it’s good. To this day I still listen to their music I was just a little girl when I got introduced to them. In my mom‘s belly lol no lie my mom was playing it when she was pregnant with me. Me being the youngest of 6 kids music was something very much apart of my life growing up. We got 50 years of these guys? Let’s go for another 50 years. 100 years of great rock n roll! And beyond!
Yep I agree 100% I've benn listening to ACDC sens I was about 15or 16 and I'm 50now still listening to them and still my fevorite rock band. Tobad though never had the chance to see them in concert.
That's so beautiful 😢 love from Sydney where it all began 💯 rock on 👍
@@Steger13hey you might get your chance with their next tour up coming.
@@timskin6259thanks and love from South Carolina to Ohio sadly cause our house burnt. 😢 boy do I miss it down there I don’t like cold weather at all and I don’t miss the rude people here in the Midwestern USA .
Bon Scott war ein genialer Sänger
AC/DC never would have made it without Bon Scott. Don't ever forget that and also remember that Bon's DNA is all over the album Back In Black. Malcolm Young told Bon Scott that they had recorded the music and that Bon can come into the studio in a week to record HIS lyrics. No-one comes into a band, who is not known for writing lyrics, and 2 / 3 months later come out with the 2nd highest selling album, with Michael Jackson's Thriller being 1st, in the lyrical style of Bon Scott. Bon Scott's family receive royalties from Back in Black and nothing for the following albums. Listen to the albums - HIGHWAY TO HELL, BACK IN BLACK & then FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK and then you will understand. The reason to credit Brian was to start fresh. I understand the reason for doing it. I just don't agree with it. I think I have the right to my opinion having been in the business as a guitarist/singer/song writer for 33 years and I love AC/DC. Cheers. Johno
Bonjour votre commentaire me fait plaisir car je suis entièrement d'accord avec vous et c'est vrai car je le sais ce que vous dites ce n'est que la vérité et beaucoup l'ignore vos paroles me font couler Les yeux car j'adore bon Scott
It was wrong to credit Brian with Bon influenced lyrics, just to start afresh & fooled nobody ! B in B just screamed Bon Scott. Brian wasn't known for his songwriting & after B in B the songs were mediocre imho
If you can't hear Bon singing Have a drink on me, no one can.
Agreed...!!! Brian had never been to US, so what does he know about American Thighs...??..Told me to cum, but I was already there, Is another Bon lyric..his girlfriend said he was writing Aint noise pollution at time of death, over some angry neighbours...his notebook was never found....ask Malcolm...if the backing tracks were done, so were the lyrics....
7 times. Every time they rocked my ass off.
Its almost like acdc had two careers both amazing
The experts in this documentary talk a lot about the (alleged) simplicity of AC/DCs music. Let's assume for a moment that this statement would be right: Have you ever heard a good cover version of an AC/DC-song? I haven't. If AC/DCs music was so simple you would hear a lot of copycats all around the world. But nearly nobody dares to play their songs because it would be musical suicide. AC/DCs music may not be very complex but it is nearly impossible to copy: They seem to play "dirty", but if you listen well enough you realise how exact they play. This precision combined with their furious energy is everything but simple. It's perfection.
...agreed; they are rythem and soul.
Actually music is the opposite, the easier stuff to play is that hardest stuff to copy cause theres nowhere to hide. The more there is going on the easier to hide your lack of talent it becomes. Simple 3 chord rock is the hardest stuff to get right and make sound like them.
Here in Australia we all grew up listening to ACDC as that was our band and everyone loved them, we didn't mind the fact that the god botherers in the USA wanted nothing to do with them and wouldn't allow them to tour there for years as we got to keep them at home more and seen them over and over and it never got old I'll give ya the tip.
fucking oath mate..!!!
This looks like it was made awhile ago....Angus in his 50's?! but its AC/DC so its worthy of a watch just to see Bon & the boys kicking some ass!
The presenter said their most recent album Stiff Upper Lip which was 2000 so this footage is over 20 years old .
The best thing about us Aussies we’re open to all kinds of music and have had some great bands that other countries have never had the privilege to know
God Bless AC/DC
Que dieu bénisse bon Scott car je peux vous affirmer que c'est grâce à Bon Scott s'ils ont percé sans lui y n'aurez jamais arrivé ou ils sont
I met Angus Young in a bar in Melbourne in 2000. I wasn't into AC/DC then. I was into metal, but not AC/DC. I was there on a low key date, as I remember there was no-one else in the bar. Angus heard my Scots accent and came right over and chatted for a while about the old country. I never realised who was speaking to me for quite some time after. My bad.
I bet he wasn't having a drink...
The Hostess of this segment is incorrect, Cliff was not on the studio release
Of Let there be rock Mark Evans was. Mark was let go during the tour supporting the album and Cliff stepped in. Powerage is Cliffs official debut with the band.⚡️
Mark was fucked over..!!!
❤ rock n roll gods ❤ 🤓🙋♂️👍
Great documentary although they completely bypassed 'Dirty Deeds' -Album, which is my favorite..RIDE ON BON! After you, the party was over.
Éternel bon scott😭😭😭
I was 17 when Bon died it devastated myself and my buddies one of my buds in home mc class wrote BON SCOTT LIVES everyday on the chalkboard in high school.
Amazing band! An absolute powerhouse of simplicity and grit. AC/DC!!! Yeah baby!!!!!!! On a side note... I prefer the early stuff with Bon. Not to take anything away from Brian because he is great in his own way. Always worried his head is going to implode though. lol. Bon was more natural, it just felt right. Rest in peace Brother Bon. 💥💣
I agree , even if back in black was the reference with Brian Johnson who was flawless on it, I'm sure he will be the first to praise Bons brilliance and natural genius as a perfect mad, bad lad persona of party, shag yet women and drink your beer. It's so sad he had done so much to make ACDC so successful yet left this world tragically after choking on his vomit in his sleep.
@@Ian-bq7gp Here here!
Flick Of The Switch was recorded with Phil Rudd. Although he got sacked during the recording, they had essentially recorded all the tracks with Rudd from what I’ve read
Great documentary
Back in the early 80s AC/DC was the only band i felt like i was going to hell for listening to them lol
A great Rock introducing the Rock greats.
One doc I haven’t seen. Pretty Killer. Good stuff 🤘
👍🇸🇪
When I was a teenager I would walk up to this little bar and shoot pool and I would play "you shook me all night long" and I would kick butt on the table, a teenager up against grown men some of them weren't very nice after getting there butt whooped, that song gave me energy it is just a great song
AC/DC helt Konger 🎉🔥🔥🔥🖤
We r Privileged here in N.Z. Have a Beep good cover band. Vocalist Italian. But, this band, listen when live, listen when dead. Will be in my head. Moneytalks 91, NZ. They perhaps like Stones, will be imortalised. I only have 4 bands. :)
Great live footage, but the commentary is so bad and usually misinformed. Better AC/DC docs are available right here on UA-cam where they interview actual fans. Hopefully some of these hacks have read a book or two in the last 20 years.
flick of the switch is an awesome album!
Phil Rudd was not in the Coloured ball. His previous band prior AC/DC was Buster brown.
impeccable ! on va tout démonter :) T inquietes on va mettre un beauy traceur sur tout ce que je clique mdr
i think some bright colors on the album cover might have helped flick of the switch.
A good band, is better live, than the album. Imagine that. I went to the circus for, but yes. Just something always unique there.
The women Hosting narrating this segment looks a lot like a young version of Bon’s wife Irene.
This is fantstic rock rebel 's stig together in Bon's gang woah this is good story and is nice look them just a Rock' n'roll 🏴🤕👀
Bon was high voltage
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Every one should own a Gibson SG and a Gretsch twin jet.
I believe Mal played a Gretsch White Falcon, but I could definitely be wrong.
@@Dogheadj he did in the early days occasionally. His most used and most iconic is the twin jet.
@@DogheadjMalcolm prominently played the Gretsch White Falcon during the Back In Black era, but seems to have played his sanded down Gretsch Jet Firebird(s) more often through the band’s history
Are you buying?..😂😅😂😅
Only Hackney Diamonds has become a huge hit and new and quality. ACDC have great history as a iconic rock band and maybe they have a Sydney diamond Opera House in them,
Ac/dc the best band ever .....Aussie Blake
But had Bon still been around in 1980 for Back in Black ............ How would back in black sound with Bon. I think the album came strong because it is rock solid with the right sound right hooks right lyrics, right feel, even right album cover. Like,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,. It needed no picture because the mucis speaks for itself. Imo, the 2 Best ac/dc albums ever made were Highway to Hell & Back in Black. Both were packed from start to finish with zero filler, imo
Back in Black had Bon Scott's signature all over it & why it was such a success !
i know alot of pll thought flick of the switch was a bad albumn but i liked it as for fly on the wall i regret buying it total waste of my money but besides that they ranked higher than led zeppelin as the greatest rock band of all time in record sales way to go AC/DC!
Notice there's no phones everywhere?....this was when things were real
Anybody cAn do this….you sing tharpt hi night after night…
Brian is good but no Bon.
Cheesy doc
Angus said about Bon . he.s our notorious leader of a bag of vagabons and thieves
Per me gli AC/Dc sono solo Bon Scott. Il dopo non esiste 😅
skipped right over Powerage
People in this doc having their facts wrong is crazy…that bloke sayin’ HTH came out in 78? …fs.
WTF, every 5 minutes ads in this video. It's even wors than TV
70s were kinda live musically?? What
Only front men in AC DC No front persons!
Colin Hay of "Men at Work" is the perfect replacement 4 BrianJohnson 10 times better than Axle Rose reason being Colin Hay is Bon Scott the former lead singer of ACDC!
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" to the Spotlight" to 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???
Sincerely,
Patrick S.N. Iriarte
"Nostradamus of the Marianas"
Very interesting, I have not heard this concept before. One thought, how do you suppose Bon Scott at 5’8” became Colin Hay at 6’4” purely from a height perspective?
it a bit early in the day for drinking? 😂
You've lost the plot, but carry on deluding yourself if it makes you happy !
And who says larger can't be pretty?
Especially now the audio is pure, Zzz.
What is that BS about Bonn having Feline movements? Ping off. Bon had incredible stage presence.
I think she was referring to his cat like moves, Tom cat that is !
Bon Scott was amazing, one of my fav vocalists! Brian Johnson is absolutely terrible, I can’t even listen to AC/DC with that guy screeching, because it sure the hell isn’t singing!
He sounds like Mickey Mouse Singing out of his Arse.
Agreed.
Brian Johnson took acdc to greater hta to bon Scott drank his self to death
I miss Bon voice. Not because of Brian is not good, but it’s without charm.
It had no edge, which Bon Scott had in spades.
Pure garbage when they didn't even mention the anthemic Thunderstruck. I get it, not my favorite & sure hell overplayed but c'mon WTF?
Brian is also Scottish.
No he's not, he's from Geordieland in Northumbria, England !
@@theseeker4642 ok so you're telling me that in this part of England the people have a Scottish accent?
@@lorettasearcy1471 As a Scot, I can tell you unequivocally, that Brian is not Scottish & neither is his accent. He was born in in Dunstan, County Durham, England, which later changed to become part of Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, Northumbria, England. His mother was Italian, his father English & served in the British Army during WWII. I assumed that you'd know what a Geordie accent was, so put that, but there are subtle differences, between the various areas. It was why Brian's first band was named Geordie & he still retains his strong Geordie accent. He is English & so is his accent !
I tried listening to Flick of the Switch once or twice and couldn't make it through the third song it was that bad. How did they lose the magic of BIB so soon. It does make you wonder
Mutt Lang
I bought the next 3 or 4 albums thinking it was gonna be BIB.
But each one was kinda flat
Saw them in concert on their
Blow up your Video tour
It was stand up fist pump the entire show good
❤❤❤ for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son whosoever believe in him 😮😮
Should not parrish
Jesus Christ has no Joy in the death of the sinner
Jesus Christ is calling for the sinner man to repent
And give his
Life to him 💓
Jesus said
That the sinner man has no life in him
The warth. Of. God stays on him
Jesus Christ is love and will love you and can forgive
Your sinns
The blood of Jesus will wash your sinns away
Flick of the switch, a ”rubbish” album, W.T.F??????
