  • Today Tonight (Adelaide) Interview With James Morley & Former AC/DC Band Members Mark Evans & Simon Wright About The Bon But Not Forgotten Shows They Have Put Together And Are Doing Across Australia In July 2017!
    SHOWS INFORMATION!
    The Closest you will ever get to AC/DC in the 70's. This show brings together some of the worlds greatest rockers to pay tribute to the legend behind one of the world’s greatest ever bands, AC/DC, and their iconic singer Bon Scott who celebrates his Birthday on July 9th .
    Featuring a knock-out line-up, including 3 past members of AC/DC and other Aussie rock icons, The Angels and The Poor, this band knows how to electrify a crowd with its explosive repertoire of AC/DC's greatest hits.
    Not content with just performing a 'Best Of' set, the band also focuses on some gems that aren't commercial in nature, but true fans will love to hear them live, some for the first time. This show replicates the sound, style and passion of AC/DC, without pretence.
    It is quite simply THE most natural sounding AC/DC performance of any band, other than AC/DC themselves. There is no other band on earth that can perform the show like these carefully selected musicians.
    The line-up features the consummate talents of:
    Simon Wright - Joined AC/DC after the departure of Phil Rudd in 1983
    Mark Evans - Performed on some of history's greatest rock albums including TNT , Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Let There Be Rock
    Tony Currenti - Played drums on may of the bands first albums tracks including High Voltage
    James Morley - Former bassist with ARIA Hall of Fame band - The Angels
    SKENIE - One of Australia's hardest rocking frontmen from The Poor
    And introducing international youtube legend "Solo Dallas" - known for his ability to replicate and feel Angus Young's guitar playing like no other.
    He has a massive following online, and has sold his own brand of guitar pedals to almost every major guitar hero around the world, including Angus Young himself.
    Special Guests: Live Wire
    The band was hand-picked due to their authenticity and passion for playing the music of AC/DC.
    These guys hail from Perth WA and will be performing the entire Back in Black album from start to finish. A great act not to be missed.

With long way to the top, you guys got a bit of the Australian high voltage album from 1975 and T.N.T. From 1975 To make your international high voltage which came out in 76

    Phil Rudd was a drumming machine like a clock timepiece. Perfect for the band.
    I liked Simon best as there back up drummer. He hit harder and was good at the timing as needed.
    Chris spade is good. But my least favorite. Not a bad thing just my opinion.

      Always felt that Simons last record with the band 'Blow Up Your Video' (1988) was arguably his best work, as he was gelling in perfectly with Cliff and Malcolm. But I understood his reasons for leaving in '89 and he has no regrets about it.

      **Never ever going to happen. Current AC/DC were strong armed by a court of law to settle with Mark Evans regarding royalty from his valuable time and work with the band. They of course felt he deserved next to nothing at the time of his dismissal in 1977. The courts Rightfully sided with Mark and he got paid which Forever Bittered current AC/DC.... That's the real deal.

    Hello you two, do the call to Angus and do the record. Simon and Mark got the AC/DC feel. Okay, Phil is good, but if he can´t or Angus does not want him, I would look forward to Simon. I never missed anything in drum-playing when Simon came into the band. There was just other sound in the eighties, but Simon`s playing was as good as Phil´s. So Simon, take the phone and do the call. I would be very glad. I wait fo new AC/DC music, "Black Ice" impressed me so much in 2008, as much as the classic albums. And on "Who made who" Simon really found a great own style.
    (Maybe you do recordings with Simon and Phil.)

    Bon was just awesome and AC/DC were never the same without him, IMO.
    Many bands talk about putting the Beatles into second place, or similar. Not don't get me wrong, I HATE the Beatles, but how do they measure this? Album sales - the Beatles weren't an albums band. Single sales? Most Beatles fans couldn't afford singles (or weren't allowed out to the shops in their own to buy one)!

    And by the way , Mark is out of playing bass anymore, there is no way that he can quickly learn the songs from years after his departure and be able to make a tour - he is just to unprofessional for Angus .
