Saw em in the mid 70's, fantastic. Always thought Bon was better than the new(still to me)guy. True rock and roll way to die, drown in your own vomit.

Someone's listening to Planet Rock, then!

I was 12 and dimly recall it so I never saw them being fronted by him. I did see them when I was 14 or 15 (For Those About To Rock tour) and again last year on the Black Ice tour.
But I would gladly trade both of those (and many more live gigs I have seen) in to see them as dirty little kids playing a tiny uni hall or maybe the famous Paris gig.

He had the biggest b@lls of them all.....

It is amazing how they managed to find a Geordie with such a similar vocal style to an Aussie though (okay, so he was a Scot, but he WAS young when he moved to the criminal's island).

I remember getting Sounds & reading that, damn I feel old .... gets ready to put some early AC/DC on the ipod

But i's even more rock'n'roll to drown on someone elses vomit.

But of course you can't dust for vomit...

Check out the backing vocalist

Respect.
They haven't done too badly without him though.

One of the few proper singers in the genre, likes of 'Ride On' showed his melodic side. Much preferred that to Johnsons yelling. I think the lyrics were slightly better quality in Bon's tenure too...
...time to go & hunt out the 'Let There Be Rock' video...

Just finished the Highway to Hell album, I had forgotten how much I liked Night Prowler.
The guitarist in our office is just playing it through, on my Strat ... I really must learn to play it one day .... no Gibson SG in the office
Posted 1 year ago # -
is he employed as a guitarist to entertain the office?
Cool work.

Just had it on shuffle on my iPod as I walked around town - lots of bootleg live stuff as well as all the albums etc. I could easily listen to them all day but the rest of the office will get a bit bored

+1 to that...also 'Bullett to bite on' Powerage is amazing.

He's supposed to make money too ... I think an extended lunchbreak in honour of Bon Scott.
It is Friday afternoon
In theory I am working, I guess in practice I am looking at STW
Posted 1 year ago # -
Powerage is amazing
+1 to that; my favourite album of theirs, + the 1st one I got on CD to replace my worn out casette... Fave song - 'Riff Raff' (great guitar work)..
Posted 1 year ago # -
& talking of Powerage have Sin City on now
.... another album I still have on vinyl

High Voltage (the album) proper raw rock n'roll! The man was rock n'roll personified and his lyrics pure genius........ Although I still love the band - their lyrical content is pretty keich these days! Come to think of it apart from the odd gem, their songs are pretty keich altogether these days!

cool friday afternoon geetar jams in the office.
Highway to Hell and If You Want Blood... two of my favourite albums.
Bon Scott & the Glasgow Apollo. It doesn't get any better.

Ufck Bon Scott - Lionel Ritchie and Lionel Blair have both died!
Apparently.
But it might have been Brian Blessed.

Bon Scott ??
I had to google that
Posted 1 year ago # -
Sadly missed. He was the man. Was listening to Let there be Rock this morn.

"Powerage" was the best album they ever made. I saw AC/DC on that tour in may 78 and again in november 78. Brilliant both times. 30 years since Bon died seems unreal!

Thunder.....

I was 15 and a big AC/DC fan (still am), I remember my mate phoning me with the news that Bon SCott had died - I was gutted.
Much though I like the later stuff, Bon-era AC/DC will never be bettered.
RIP

Crikey there was a lot of us 14 when he died, Dirty deeds done dirt cheap & She's Got Balls always raises a smile & Touch to Much is one of my all time top tunes.
Spooky thing was it was on my iPod last night as I went to sleep!

"For those who want blood.." is one of if not the best live album ever.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I think you'll find it's 'If you want blood.... you've got it'
