Brian Johnson stepped into a horrible, sad situation and ran with it. He gave it his all right out the gate and for that I will be forever grateful to him. No disrespect to Bon Scott, of course. Basically, how do you not only fill Bon Scott's shoes, but breathe new life into a band we otherwise would have lost over 40 years ago? Legend. One of my favorite bands of all time.
I don't know if it's true, but I heard Bon Scott told the band before he died something to the effect of if he ever went that he wanted them to get Brian to replace him. He's probably the only one who could have. RIP Bon Scott
I remember either Angus or Malcom in an interview saying that giving up and ending the band wasn’t an option cause Bon would not have wanted it that way.
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT Brian is the better technical singer, no doubt. But similar to David Lee Roth, I love the charisma, lyricism, and style of Bon just a bit more. Can’t go wrong with either version of the band, IMO.
Have no idea what's called, but new Bon bio popped on RUclips several months ago that has interview with people like Bon's brother for 1st time! Talks about Bon knowing Johnson! Rock On, mofos! 🤘😎❤
The standard AC/DC lineup was Brian Johnson/Bon Scott as lead singer, Angus Young on lead guitar, Malcom Young (Angus' older brother) on rhythm guitar, Cliff Williams on bass guitar, and Phil Rudd on drums. Each of them a master of their own instrument, each of them a strong part of the world's most popular hard rock band. RIP Malcolm! We all love you!
I might add that what is often overlooked is that Malcolm Young is one of the best rhythm guitar players of all time. I don't think that's an exaggeration.
I am more of a Bon Scott fan, But Brian Johnson is/was a great replacement at the time, and is a great singer. BTW, When Back In Black came out, I just wore out my 8-Track tape.
Absolutely love AC/DC! I think one of the funniest stories I heard was when Angus was being interviewed. The interviewer said something like “A lot of people are saying that you guys have made 13 albums now and they all sound the same.” Without hesitation, Angus responds “That’s absolute bullsh*t! We’ve made 14 albums that sound the same.” AC/DC has their own unique sound. You immediately know their music when you hear it. They are like their own genre. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
I love that particular quote. I also like when an interviewer asked Angus how it felt to be one of the greatest guitarists in rock. Angus replied "I'm not even the greatest guitarist in our band." Mad props to Angus for tooting the horn of his big brother Malcolm who always stepped back and let his little brother shine.
@@Rebelrocker69 That is awesome! Thanks for sharing that. So check this out. I do voiceover work. I was at a local studio here in Michigan at a recording session. I noticed a photo of AC/DC in front of this studio hanging on the wall. Apparently, AC/DC recorded some stuff at the studio about 15 years ago. I was talking one of the producers at the studio about it. He was telling me that the guys from AC/DC were super laid back and down to Earth dudes when they recording there. They were drinking tea, chain smoking cigarettes, and being friendly.
AC/DC's album catalog always experience increased sales/streaming during economic downturns, because they counter people's uncertainty. You know what you're getting with them.
The song Ride On is nearly a ballad. If you like Bryan's voice you can find old videos of him on You Tube with a different band singing far differently than when he got to AC/DC. You would be shocked!
I always like to karaoke “Ride On,” I feel like I can sing it pretty good and there’s just not many songs from them that I can. It’s very soft and slow which also makes it easier to sing. Not that it isn’t hard to sing, because I do find it a bit challenging, but it’s one of there easiest to sing. “Night Prowler” and “The Jack” too. There are other ballads from AC/DC as well, most notably “Love Song” and “Rock n Roll Dream.” Their new album also had a song that sounded like a ballad kind of-it was “Through the Mists of Time,” and it was actually dedicated and about the late Malcolm Young in many ways. He’s even in the video.
Great call! It’s like Charlie Watts of the Stones, steady as a rock, carries everyone effortlessly, but neither Phil or Charlie ever get mentioned on any top 10 lists. I like UFO and I won’t say Andy Parker is on the same level as Peart or Portnoy but he was running marathons on the double bass and he never missed a fill!
No band can really make it without a great drummer/bassist team. Phil Rudd is flat out amazing - leaves the flash to Angus, but lays down the bedrock that makes it all possible. His work on Let There Be Rock at River Plate is jaw dropping.
See you on here rwfrench66, was just gonna say EXACT SAME!!! Seen both, but 1st time at Stones couldn't get in & sat stage-side whole show. Finally caught them inside in '15 & was absolutely blown away by the impact you don't get from film or audio! 1st thing I thought about was Phil Rudd!!! Charlie actually stole the show for me cause never realized it. Talked about it for days after, asking all my musician friends if had any idea how good he was?! Sooo glad got to see his last tour in Nashville! RIP! 🙏 ❤ 🤘😎
The entire Back in Black album is perfection. This Banger cannot be played loud enough with the top down. Malcolm was the backbone, holding it all together - RIP
The lineup that you see here is Angus Young-lead guitar, Malcolm Young- rhythm guitar(deceased), Brian Johnson-vocals, Phil Rudd-drums, and Cliff Williams-bass. Pretty much all ACDC songs are bangers, but they do have a few slow songs: Ride On(Bon Scott), Night Prowler(Bon Scott) just to name a couple! ACDC has been my favorite band since 1978! Thank you for your reaction!
AC/DC have one real ballad tune, that is "Love Song" off of Austraian High Voltage. Night Prowler was the final song from Highway to Hell but its Deep and Bluesy , "Ride On" from the Dirty Deeds album is a slow Bluesy road tune , all these are Bon Songs 🎵
Absolute hype band & this is my fave underrated less talked about hype song of theirs of all time. I love the tempo & the rhythm section so tight & yes, drums are killer too.
I’ve seen an AC/DC tribute band called Electric Shock 12 times!!! One time on an outside stage at the casino I work at!! They bring the people inside the showroom big time!! They are so damn good!!!!
its crazy -- Bon Scott died, brian johnson took over and in the SAME YEAR that Scott died AC/DC released Back in Black, which is their #1 selling album ever. its nuts
Malcolm always was the heart of the band! It was his baby! He made sure everyone knew what their part was in the band. Up until his dementia took hold, he made sure his guitars were all stringed and tuned, the set list was done, the soundcheck was done, and the lighting was set. And a whole lot of other shit as well. Forever Malcolm Young!
More Bon Scott please!!! Try the older live performances of “Walk all over you” or “Touch too much” The raw gritty performance and Bon Scott’s presence is phenomenal.
AC/DC playing in a 10,000 seat auditorium was so insanely loud and deafening it still amazes me. Felt every note in my chest and ears rang for days and loved it.
3 days. Saw 'em on a Monday (Portland, OR sucks for concerts - Seattle and SanFran get the weekends.), and my throat was sore and my ears were ringing until Tai Chi class on Thursday. I almost didn't go to class, but somehow I came out of there and could hear again. 😂
I saw them with 7,000 truckers in July 1980 on the Back in Black tour and in front of the stage it was extremely violent and rough, but a great show anyway. They did this song and it was a goodie.
Looked at a beautiful woman who seemed to have everything and asked " What Do You Do For Your Money"? This was the premise for this song. 🎶🎶 Absolutely another rockin' great tune by AC/DC. Always a party waiting to happen!!! Great rockin' tune. You both need seat belts for this one. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Every time I watch these reaction videos I am so glad I lived through the greatest time in music the 60,70,80 and 90's , we were so spoiled with all the talent out there.
I do have something on a personal note about this band AC/DC. I just got to start rocking out with them on the Highway to Hell album. Got to know Bon Scott and Angus. My mother never liked the song Highway and complained about it a lot but I still kept on playing it it's my headphones on. Me and my older brother was really hit hard when we found out about Bon Scott's death. Thought they would break up or heaven forbid a lead singer that would never come close to what they had. I was a freshman sophomore year in high school when black and black came out I was too busy and paid it no mind leaving it was going to be no good. But my older brother bought it. Brought it back home ready for Mom to leave to go to her church function. Well I was reading a book getting ready for a report in my room all alone. I hear this resonating thong. It got louder and louder it was" the Bell". He cranked it up louder and louder busted through my door said listen to this. Brian Johnson started belting out Hells Bell. It became the most serendipitous moment of my life. A rebirth. It really was a Back in Black. the time the moment the content the men. All of these things had two conjunct to make an album of this upper echelon. It is one of a kind a unique one. Glad I was there to listen to the beginning.
One of the best bands!! Great for concerts, parties, work-outs, at the office, at home, or doing homework, shopping, driving etc. etc. AC/DC makes everything better. Heck, even AC/DC cover bands are a blast!! 💜🎶🎤🎸🤘🏼
Bon started it, got it in gear, and when he died, Brian took it from there. There is no Back in Black album unless it was a tribute to Bon. It was so well done as a rock album because it was honoring Bon’s legacy.
From the Back in Black album... without exaggeration, it's one of the best, and highest selling rock albums of all time. Every song in this album is as good as gold.
Night Prowler...Have a Drink on Me...Touch Too Much...Down Payment Blues...Stiff Upper Lip...Burning Alive....the list is endless actually...you guys haven't even scratched the surface of the ACDC library...top 5 band of all time in my opinion...I'm 56yrs old...grew up with this genre...enjoy the ride
AC⚡DC doesn't have any power ballads, but if you want something different that is DEEP and soulful, the listen to their song "Ride On"... Bon is AMAZING singing that !
AC/DC is beyond consistent, instantly recognizable and a sledge hammer sound that never quits. It was a madhouse when we saw them. For more of their craziness, try It's a Long Way to the Top, great rock song as always from them. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
I don’t know if you’d call it a power ballad but ride on from dirty deeds done dirt cheap is in my top 5 from them. It’s a reaaaaallly slow bluesy kind of tune, that sounds like it will build into something…but it doesn’t. Still a great solo, wicked vocal from bon scott. I doubt there’s a live performance but the studio recording is sublime.
I was about to suggest Ride On too. It's the only "ballad" of theirs I can think of, and it shows another side of them. AC/DC doesn't have a bad song, J and Amber are on a fun journey.
"Ride On" is probably the closest they have to a ballad, and it's from the Bon Scott era. "Let Me Put My Love Into You" may be considered a ballad, from the Brian Johnson era.
I worked with a guy that said he was labouring at a brickworks in the 70's and this band turned up wanting to buff up and make some money before they went on tour. It was AC/DC and they worked hard and kept to themselves.
This was from Back in Black. The entire album was FIRE! I can remember riding around as a teenager, in the car with older friends, screaming to this whole cassette, at top volume.
Malcolm Young was the rhythm guitarist and one of the main writers for the band. He came up w/ a lot of the riffs, song structures. Always stayed in the background, I guess it suited his personality, and with Angus and Bon (or Brian) how many front men do you need? He was Angus's older brother.
@@arielcardozo6907 Yeah, thats their only ballad cause its got a love theme. Ride on, Rock n roll dream and Through the mists of time are sad songs but not ballads. All are great never the less.
Well THIS is a surprise. This wasn't even one of their hit singles (I don't think), but a track off of Back in Black (which many call their best album EVER). You might be interested to know that of the eight AC/DC songs you've done (and yes, I'm including "Thunderstruck" which you did with Rome), FIVE have been off this album! "You Shook Me All Night Long" was also off this album, so you gotta do it. You'll be - dare I say - SHOOK? You can also do "For Those About to Rock", "Who Made Who" or "Big Gun".
I consider Back in Black one of the top 10 best Classic Rock albums of all time, actually. I feel like it truly made the band how big they are today. Not many other bands can consider one of their albums this sussessful.
"SIPPING ON WHISKEY WITH A CIGAR SONG!!" Hey Jay, you have to react to their song "ride on". I know you will love it. It's their slowest song, but is one of my favorites. It's one of those songs you sit on the back porch/deck and listen to while smoking a cigar and sipping on some whiskey.
The only ballad type song AC/DC has ever recorded as far as I know is "Ride On".... Bon Scott was the vocalist, It's incredible, And I have been a fan for over 4 decades. Good job kids, Love your reactions, They make me smile.
They don't have a "ballad" but, they do have a song called "The Jack" that's very stripped down and bluesy. If you react to it, I would suggest the live version "live at river plate". It's a whole new side of AC DC for you guys! 🤟😎
Awesome reaction but...My favorite is Angus i am an old lady i am 60 plus but Angus is bad ass. NO ONE can take anything from him no one. He does not have hyperactivity. he just get's into the music 💘💗💓💞💕 love to you both from the one and only Memphis Tn.
Don't ever forget to give Malcolm Young his props, he has created some of the most iconic riffs in hard rock/metal History! His riff-writing is the stuff of Legends!! AC/DC has very very few slower songs, and even those are bangers. Ride On. That's the best one. Amazing song!! Little Lover is cool too.
Awesome reaction guys! Don't forget that the hard driving rhythm in most of their hits comes from Angus's brother Malcolm. One of the best rhythm guitarists in rock n roll!
They have one of the most loyal fanbases in the world. The group knows what their people want and give it to them. But this is one I highly recommend. Whole Lotta Rosie, live at River Plate Argentina. ruclips.net/video/QMvE0yFnR0I/видео.html
AC/DC was my high school volleyball, basketball, and softball away games bus jams!!!! Our coaches and bus drivers were cool AF, and let us rock out! Along with the Meatloaf “Bat Out Of Hell” album, AC/DC was IT!!!!
Everyone talks about Brian and Angus but the real heros are Phil Rudd (Drums), Cliff Williams (Bass) and Malcolm Young (Rhythm Guitar) back there in the Engine room. I have seen these blokes twice now in concert. Nobody comes near them live. The concerts are off this planet. RIP Malcolm.
One of my favourites was the video of Let there be rock with Bonn in a Priests garb. He has this cheeky smile which was part of his Charisma. I often wondered if he hurt himself when he jumps as you don't see him get up. Angus had it even back then, l heard he joined the band when he was 15 and went to practice afternoons after school still in his school uniform which is why it became his signature dress code.
Love AC/DC. Saw them in Austin, right when Brian Johnson started singing. My wife got to see Bon Scott, I'm jealous. Walk All Over You, Bon at some of his best. Keep banging.LOVE!!
😂🙄😆 Haven't heard this is in a couple of generations. Amazing how I haven't forgotten a bit of it. It's weird how songs are like that - you can not hear a song for 45 years, and once you hear it again, it all comes back. Thankfully, the acne hasn't come back.
Loved your reaction. The hours my best friend and myself spent listening to this album during high school and after. Some of the best memories I have from high school. ❤️✌️🌼
Lol Brian Johnson’s talking voice is nothing like his singing voice. It’ll blow you away at how much he strains his voice to sing. Love you guys keep up the great work!
Back in Black is just such a great record from start to finish... one killer riff, rhythm and bass line after another... i knew you guys would love this one... so good.
I saw them on their Highway to Hell Tour in high school and they were opening for cheap trick. They weren't as well known in the US but this album really broke them open and so my friend said you've got to come see this hard rocking band from Australia that's opening for cheap trick. And so I did and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. And it was not all that long before Bon Scott died. Well about a year or so later, I was shocked to hear that AC/DC had released Back in Black and was on tour for it and when they came back through my town, this time they were the headliner and Cheap Trick was opening for them!
Your appreciation and excitement for this band that I first heard as a kid in 6th grade makes me grin from ear to ear. It is so genuine and just gives me the same kind of feeling I had when I became a fan of AC/DC. 🤘
Being a fan of AC⚡DC since I was a child and having fallen in love with the bass and becoming a bassist, Cliff Williams was one of my first influences but I feel that he has never had deserved recognition and I would say that he is the most underrated member of the band
You mentioned Phil Rudd on the drums - let me tell you - I saw them live in 1980 the first year and tour they had with Brian Johnson - and Phil Rudd was amazing. He brought the THUNDER all night long and on some songs he literally turned the sticks around and used the fat ends. He’s the driving force and he’s ALWAYS in the pocket right where he should be…
HAHA! One article or something talking about the band said (paraphrasing) "Fans can trust that AC/DC will never drop a power ballad on you." I read that years ago and always remembered it! 😁
I'm 63 and saw them when I was 13 and Bonn Scott was the front man that is 50 years ago!!!! And I saw them again when I was 21/22 at Brisbane Festival Hall when Brian Johnson had become the new frontman with the "Back in Black" tour, Angus must have some very strong neck muscles!!!, AC/DC were loud but not as loud as Black Sabbath who I saw play at the same venue a couple of months earlier, I was deaf for three day's after that one. Both bands sounded exactly the same as the Album.
And what is amazing is that according to Angus, he was the second best guitarist in the band. In an interview years ago he was asked how he became the lead guitarist, while his brother played rhythm guitar. He said it was because he couldn't play rhythm as good as Malcolm. Then the interviewer asked "but could Malcolm do your parts?". Angus said "Oh yeah, it would be easy for him." I don't know if he was just bring humble and throwing some love to his brother, but he sounded like he meant it.
This is another great song from "Back In Black." Every song on this album has been in regular rotation on rock radio stations since 1980. You'll be doing yourselves a favor by listening to every song. It's not Pink Floyd, so it really doesn't matter what order.
I've seen them in concert 4 times. Then have an awesome stage show and there is so much energy, there is no other band like them! Ballads.. there was a song called "Love Song" from the 70's back when Bon Scott was still here, It doesn't really even sound like AC/DC. Then there is "Through The Mists of Time" the video is pretty awesome and the painted mural at the end is really cool. Then there is "Ride On" another with Bon Scott, very bluesy. If you have heard the first one, your not missing much, but the last 2 you really need to take the time to react to them.
Brian Johnson stepped into a horrible, sad situation and ran with it. He gave it his all right out the gate and for that I will be forever grateful to him. No disrespect to Bon Scott, of course. Basically, how do you not only fill Bon Scott's shoes, but breathe new life into a band we otherwise would have lost over 40 years ago? Legend. One of my favorite bands of all time.

Phil Rudd is the secret ingredient that guarantees that ACDC groove... Malcolm recognized it and Phil has always been the first choice.
Absolutely! He is THE only drummer for AC/DC. When he's drumming, they truly have 'swagger'.
I find AC/DC's Ride On to be a rather chill song to relax to if you're looking for one of their "calmer" songs.
The entire Back in Black album is perfection. This Banger cannot be played loud enough with the top down. Malcolm was the backbone, holding it all together - RIP
One of the best Rock albums of all time for certain
I wonder if Bon Scott wrote any of those songs before he died.? Great album!
Jay & Amber, you'll love their classic "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"!!
Played out classic rock radio station songs. How about something original.
@@lw3918 I agree. Shake Your Foundations, Ride On, or Downpayment Blues would be much better songs to for them to check out.
I like a song called homeboy home boy answer church saying I'm home boy
My favourite is “it’s a long way to the top(if you wanna rock and roll)”
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT Homeboy church
Greatest band ever baby!! IMO the greatest rock album ever is Back in Black!
Hell's Bells is probably in my top 5 all-time.
AC/DC=the best band in human History. Greetings from Germany
The most bangin' AC/DC song in their catalog, IMO, is "Whole Lotta Rosie". That song will get every muscle in your body rockin'.
I hope they do it and do the live version. I want to see their reaction to Rosie
@@miconis123 100% agree. The live versions are the ones to see.
Absolutely! “Whole Lotta Rosie” all the way! That’s my favorite AC/DC tune for sure!
I can't click the thumbs up enough on this comment. One day they will listen to it..........hopefully
Can't agree enough when you see them live nothing else will come close
This is by far one of the very BEST rock bands EVER!!!! I can't EVEN think of one bad song by this band....NOT ONE. They ALL ROCK!!

Ride On, ballad-y, you'll fall in love
You should listen to "Let Me Put My Love Into You". About as close to a ballad as your going to get with AC/DC.
its crazy -- Bon Scott died, brian johnson took over and in the SAME YEAR that Scott died AC/DC released Back in Black, which is their #1 selling album ever. its nuts
I wouldn't exactly call it a ballad, because AC/DC!!!, but "Ride On".
Ride On! Closest to ballad they have - give it a listen great song. Love you guys!
No. Love Song is their only ballad
I absolutely love how y’all are turning into such rockers!
Malcolm always was the heart of the band! It was his baby! He made sure everyone knew what their part was in the band. Up until his dementia took hold, he made sure his guitars were all stringed and tuned, the set list was done, the soundcheck was done, and the lighting was set. And a whole lot of other shit as well. Forever Malcolm Young!
RIP Mal
@utubehound69 the greatest rhythm guitarist to ever do it.
"Ride On" is their best blues style ballad (Bon Scott). Also the backing vocals by Malcom and Cliff are underappreciated.
Ac/Dc's only Ballad is Love Song Ride is a Blue Tune.
An underrated gem. I love this song.
RIP Malcolm Young. One of the best rock rhythm guitar players ever. As technically understated as AC/DC can be, their groove was what set them apart!
"Ride on" is close to being a ballad. One of my favorites.
You beat me to it🤘
Oh yes J and Amber. Givin the Dog a Bone!! It’s a Banger!!
More Bon Scott please!!! Try the older live performances of “Walk all over you” or “Touch too much” The raw gritty performance and Bon Scott’s presence is phenomenal.

I saw them with 7,000 truckers in July 1980 on the Back in Black tour and in front of the stage it was extremely violent and rough, but a great show anyway. They did this song and it was a goodie.
The Thing about Ac/Dc is it LOUD but in a Good Way I've been to a lot of shows & it would be loud to the point that it hurt & wasn't good at all.
Yesssss 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Greatest hard rock band EVER!
Ride on. Power ballad!
Can't go wrong with AC/DC! 💜💜💜
One of my favorite AC/DC tunes, best played speaker killin' loud! I figured you would love it.
Looked at a beautiful woman who seemed to have everything and asked " What Do You Do For Your Money"? This was the premise for this song. 🎶🎶
Absolutely another rockin' great tune by AC/DC. Always a party waiting to happen!!!
Great rockin' tune. You both need seat
belts for this one. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Every time I watch these reaction videos I am so glad I lived through the greatest time in music the 60,70,80 and 90's , we were so spoiled with all the talent out there.
I do have something on a personal note about this band AC/DC. I just got to start rocking out with them on the Highway to Hell album. Got to know Bon Scott and Angus. My mother never liked the song Highway and complained about it a lot but I still kept on playing it it's my headphones on. Me and my older brother was really hit hard when we found out about Bon Scott's death. Thought they would break up or heaven forbid a lead singer that would never come close to what they had. I was a freshman sophomore year in high school when black and black came out I was too busy and paid it no mind leaving it was going to be no good. But my older brother bought it. Brought it back home ready for Mom to leave to go to her church function. Well I was reading a book getting ready for a report in my room all alone. I hear this resonating thong. It got louder and louder it was" the Bell". He cranked it up louder and louder busted through my door said listen to this. Brian Johnson started belting out Hells Bell. It became the most serendipitous moment of my life. A rebirth. It really was a Back in Black. the time the moment the content the men. All of these things had two conjunct to make an album of this upper echelon. It is one of a kind a unique one. Glad I was there to listen to the beginning.
One of the best bands!! Great for concerts, parties, work-outs, at the office, at home, or doing homework, shopping, driving etc. etc. AC/DC makes everything better.
Heck, even AC/DC cover bands are a blast!! 💜🎶🎤🎸🤘🏼
That whole album is a classic.
Bon started it, got it in gear, and when he died, Brian took it from there. There is no Back in Black album unless it was a tribute to Bon. It was so well done as a rock album because it was honoring Bon’s legacy.
From the Back in Black album... without exaggeration, it's one of the best, and highest selling rock albums of all time. Every song in this album is as good as gold.
I agree 100%
Night Prowler...Have a Drink on Me...Touch Too Much...Down Payment Blues...Stiff Upper Lip...Burning Alive....the list is endless actually...you guys haven't even scratched the surface of the ACDC library...top 5 band of all time in my opinion...I'm 56yrs old...grew up with this genre...enjoy the ride
AC⚡DC doesn't have any power ballads, but if you want something different that is DEEP and soulful, the listen to their song "Ride On"... Bon is AMAZING singing that !
Unreleased "Love Song"
@@aaronleesgbclieutenant it was released on the Australian edition of High Voltage album
You are not a real fan because they did a syrupy ballad called Love Song on Australian version of High Voltage w/some killer lead by Malcolm.
Yes, they do actually have a Ballad called Love Song.
They also have 2 Bluesy songs called Ride On & Crabsady In Blue. Check them out.
Love Song is an amazing song
"Oh Jean"
AC/DC is beyond consistent, instantly recognizable and a sledge hammer sound that never quits. It was a madhouse when we saw them. For more of their craziness, try It's a Long Way to the Top, great rock song as always from them. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
I think they already did it.
I'm so glad you reacted to this. It's not very well known, but it's in the top two or three of my favorites from this band.
I don’t know if you’d call it a power ballad but ride on from dirty deeds done dirt cheap is in my top 5 from them. It’s a reaaaaallly slow bluesy kind of tune, that sounds like it will build into something…but it doesn’t. Still a great solo, wicked vocal from bon scott. I doubt there’s a live performance but the studio recording is sublime.
I've always loved "Ride On."
I love that song one of those late night windows down tunes blasting songs as you drive down the Interstate
I was about to suggest Ride On too. It's the only "ballad" of theirs I can think of, and it shows another side of them. AC/DC doesn't have a bad song, J and Amber are on a fun journey.
There is a live version on RUclips somewhere, but I prefer the studio version.
"Ride On" is probably the closest they have to a ballad, and it's from the Bon Scott era. "Let Me Put My Love Into You" may be considered a ballad, from the Brian Johnson era.
Love Song off ac dc first album is their only true love ballad
You could do a week of nothing but AC/DC . I wouldn't complain at all. I seriously love this band. :)
I worked with a guy that said he was labouring at a brickworks in the 70's and this band turned up wanting to buff up and make some money before they went on tour. It was AC/DC and they worked hard and kept to themselves.
This was from Back in Black. The entire album was FIRE! I can remember riding around as a teenager, in the car with older friends, screaming to this whole cassette, at top volume.
Second highest selling rock album of all time
High school days hanging by the lake music for me in the 80s
*Nobody could ever fill Bon Scott's shoes... except for Brian Johnson.*
Malcolm Young was the rhythm guitarist and one of the main writers for the band. He came up w/ a lot of the riffs, song structures. Always stayed in the background, I guess it suited his personality, and with Angus and Bon (or Brian) how many front men do you need? He was Angus's older brother.
Two "ballads" would be "Night Prowler" and "Ride On"....Ride On is actually one of my favorite songs. Not very well known but killer!
Love Song too
@@arielcardozo6907 Yeah, thats their only ballad cause its got a love theme. Ride on, Rock n roll dream and Through the mists of time are sad songs but not ballads. All are great never the less.
This tune is so badass & groovy. Love it to bits. Must have played it thousands of times during the last 20 years.
Well THIS is a surprise. This wasn't even one of their hit singles (I don't think), but a track off of Back in Black (which many call their best album EVER). You might be interested to know that of the eight AC/DC songs you've done (and yes, I'm including "Thunderstruck" which you did with Rome), FIVE have been off this album! "You Shook Me All Night Long" was also off this album, so you gotta do it. You'll be - dare I say - SHOOK? You can also do "For Those About to Rock", "Who Made Who" or "Big Gun".
I consider Back in Black one of the top 10 best Classic Rock albums of all time, actually. I feel like it truly made the band how big they are today. Not many other bands can consider one of their albums this sussessful.
This was the second single released off the album "Back in Black". The single peaked at #37 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart.
Got to do You Shook Me All Night Long! As far as a ballad check out Ride On which is a bluesy cool groove.
"SIPPING ON WHISKEY WITH A CIGAR SONG!!" Hey Jay, you have to react to their song "ride on". I know you will love it. It's their slowest song, but is one of my favorites. It's one of those songs you sit on the back porch/deck and listen to while smoking a cigar and sipping on some whiskey.
The only ballad type song AC/DC has ever recorded as far as I know is "Ride On".... Bon Scott was the vocalist, It's incredible, And I have been a fan for over 4 decades.
Good job kids, Love your reactions, They make me smile.
I don’t know if AC/DC ever had a power ballad, but they had a really cool bluesy song on the Dirty Deeds album, done by Bon Scott called “Ride On”.
They don't have a "ballad" but, they do have a song called "The Jack" that's very stripped down and bluesy. If you react to it, I would suggest the live version "live at river plate". It's a whole new side of AC DC for you guys! 🤟😎
What about Ride On
Ride On
I was just going to say " Ride On " as well
I would have to say Ride On is the closest they get to a ballad not The Jack.
There's also Ride On
Awesome reaction but...My favorite is Angus i am an old lady i am 60 plus but Angus is bad ass. NO ONE can take anything from him no one. He does not have hyperactivity. he just get's into the music 💘💗💓💞💕 love to you both from the one and only Memphis Tn.
Don't ever forget to give Malcolm Young his props, he has created some of the most iconic riffs in hard rock/metal History! His riff-writing is the stuff of Legends!!
AC/DC has very very few slower songs, and even those are bangers. Ride On. That's the best one. Amazing song!! Little Lover is cool too.
I will never get tired of AC/DC! I only saw them once, and it was with Bon Scott, but I love them both!
When I think of ACDC, I think of Malcolm Young and beautiful rhythm.
Awesome reaction guys! Don't forget that the hard driving rhythm in most of their hits comes from Angus's brother Malcolm. One of the best rhythm guitarists in rock n roll!
They have one of the most loyal fanbases in the world. The group knows what their people want and give it to them. But this is one I highly recommend. Whole Lotta Rosie, live at River Plate Argentina. ruclips.net/video/QMvE0yFnR0I/видео.html
Watching you guys jam out to stuff I was listening to in high school 35 years ago trips me out.
AC/DC was my high school volleyball, basketball, and softball away games bus jams!!!! Our coaches and bus drivers were cool AF, and let us rock out! Along with the Meatloaf “Bat Out Of Hell” album, AC/DC was IT!!!!
Lol Mistress for Christmas is their Anthem
Everyone talks about Brian and Angus but the real heros are Phil Rudd (Drums), Cliff Williams (Bass) and Malcolm Young (Rhythm Guitar) back there in the Engine room. I have seen these blokes twice now in concert. Nobody comes near them live. The concerts are off this planet. RIP Malcolm.
One of my favourites was the video of Let there be rock with Bonn in a Priests garb. He has this cheeky smile which was part of his Charisma. I often wondered if he hurt himself when he jumps as you don't see him get up. Angus had it even back then, l heard he joined the band when he was 15 and went to practice afternoons after school still in his school uniform which is why it became his signature dress code.
Love AC/DC. Saw them in Austin, right when Brian Johnson started singing. My wife got to see Bon Scott, I'm jealous. Walk All Over You, Bon at some of his best. Keep banging.LOVE!!
"She's got the jack" is a blues ac/dc song
😂🙄😆 Haven't heard this is in a couple of generations. Amazing how I haven't forgotten a bit of it. It's weird how songs are like that - you can not hear a song for 45 years, and once you hear it again, it all comes back. Thankfully, the acne hasn't come back.
Loved your reaction. The hours my best friend and myself spent listening to this album during high school and after. Some of the best memories I have from high school. ❤️✌️🌼
The best part of your show is watching and listening to the two of you.
Seeing these too vibe to probably one of my favorite songs is so damn wholesome.
Lol Brian Johnson’s talking voice is nothing like his singing voice. It’ll blow you away at how much he strains his voice to sing. Love you guys keep up the great work!
Back in Black is just such a great record from start to finish... one killer riff, rhythm and bass line after another... i knew you guys would love this one... so good.
'Love Hungry Man' 'Soul Stripper' 'Let me Put My Love Into You' are some of the best AC/DC Love Ballads
I saw them on their Highway to Hell Tour in high school and they were opening for cheap trick. They weren't as well known in the US but this album really broke them open and so my friend said you've got to come see this hard rocking band from Australia that's opening for cheap trick. And so I did and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. And it was not all that long before Bon Scott died. Well about a year or so later, I was shocked to hear that AC/DC had released Back in Black and was on tour for it and when they came back through my town, this time they were the headliner and Cheap Trick was opening for them!
With AC/DC you'll always get pure Rock & Roll! Love the reaction, you guys ROCK too!!
Down Payment Blues is a must review.
Let There Be Rock, High Voltage, Jailbreak, Dirty Deeds, all are a must to listen to.
Your appreciation and excitement for this band that I first heard as a kid in 6th grade makes me grin from ear to ear. It is so genuine and just gives me the same kind of feeling I had when I became a fan of AC/DC. 🤘
Being a fan of AC⚡DC since I was a child and having fallen in love with the bass and becoming a bassist, Cliff Williams was one of my first influences but I feel that he has never had deserved recognition and I would say that he is the most underrated member of the band
You mentioned Phil Rudd on the drums - let me tell you - I saw them live in 1980 the first year and tour they had with Brian Johnson - and Phil Rudd was amazing. He brought the THUNDER all night long and on some songs he literally turned the sticks around and used the fat ends. He’s the driving force and he’s ALWAYS in the pocket right where he should be…
Brian is so cool the whole band is incredible. I have been partying to these guys for 50 years now and yes I am old 🙂
Malcolm Young (Angus’ older brother), greatest rhythm guitarist in the world. The engine behind AC/DC!
Produced by Mutt Lange, Back in Black has to be the best rock album of all time especially writing it after Bon’s death as a tribute to him.
Around 5:13 where Amber(Hi Amber) starts bouncing in her seat, awesome reaction! Thanks for the video.
The best song to blast out to the neighbourhood on a sunny Sunday morning ACDC "Big Balls"
HAHA! One article or something talking about the band said (paraphrasing) "Fans can trust that AC/DC will never drop a power ballad on you." I read that years ago and always remembered it! 😁
I'm 63 and saw them when I was 13 and Bonn Scott was the front man that is 50 years ago!!!! And I saw them again when I was 21/22 at Brisbane Festival Hall when Brian Johnson had become the new frontman with the "Back in Black" tour, Angus must have some very strong neck muscles!!!, AC/DC were loud but not as loud as Black Sabbath who I saw play at the same venue a couple of months earlier, I was deaf for three day's after that one. Both bands sounded exactly the same as the Album.
They don't make em like acdc anymore. 🤘😎🤘
And what is amazing is that according to Angus, he was the second best guitarist in the band. In an interview years ago he was asked how he became the lead guitarist, while his brother played rhythm guitar. He said it was because he couldn't play rhythm as good as Malcolm. Then the interviewer asked "but could Malcolm do your parts?". Angus said "Oh yeah, it would be easy for him." I don't know if he was just bring humble and throwing some love to his brother, but he sounded like he meant it.
This is another great song from "Back In Black." Every song on this album has been in regular rotation on rock radio stations since 1980. You'll be doing yourselves a favor by listening to every song. It's not Pink Floyd, so it really doesn't matter what order.
I've seen them in concert 4 times. Then have an awesome stage show and there is so much energy, there is no other band like them! Ballads.. there was a song called "Love Song" from the 70's back when Bon Scott was still here, It doesn't really even sound like AC/DC. Then there is "Through The Mists of Time" the video is pretty awesome and the painted mural at the end is really cool. Then there is "Ride On" another with Bon Scott, very bluesy. If you have heard the first one, your not missing much, but the last 2 you really need to take the time to react to them.
Ac/dc one time had almost all 10 back in black songs in the top 10 on the top 100 billboard
