Angus Young, the lead guitarist, was once told about a critic who said that "AC/DC has put out ten albums that sound exactly the same." Angus Young replied, "That's a damn lie! We've put out ELEVEN albums."
They DID make it work though, I think it was Scott Ian (Of Anthrax) talking about Malcom Young, "AC/DC's Music is Simple and Easy to play, but REALLY Hard to play RIGHT." One thing about Malcom, Other than the "Back in Black" Videos, He has played the same Gretsch Guitar In EVERY Video, and In Concert until his health Issues forced him to stop performing. In the Bon Scott days it was Red. Later on, he stripped the finish off, and over the years experimented with different Pickups, but from around 1984 or so on, his "Beast" was always the same, He had a backup for Live shows that was identical (Which his nephew Stevie now plays as Primary), but that was it..2 Guitars. Personally i think Malcom is the best Rhythm Guitarist in Rock, Ever.
I am 58 now...back in the day we blasted ACDC and my mom hollering at us to turn it down....about 20 years ago she went to an ACDC concert with my sister and for the last 20 years we been telling her turn it down....she is Angus Young's biggest 75 year old fan😎
My Mom got so used to 70's rock that she ended up singing along with Alice Cooper. Good memory now that she's dead and I'm 60- Mom singing the words to Billion Dollar Babies.
My husband was a medic during an AC/DC concert and was called in to help someone in the mosh pit. This song started playing and he got locked in so just stood there with his patient on O2 and enjoyed the show. He said it was the best concert he’s ever been to. (The guy was ok)
You can't know how good it feels for me, a 48 year old black man to see our young bloods jamming to this great music. Are you kidding me?!?! When I was young people called me uncle Tom because I liked this music. Times have definitely changed......
I wonder how much of this trend for young blacks to follow bands like AC/DC is just pure timing? There's a time for everything, perhaps, and this is it. What a process of discovery for them - something that kicks as and has a catalog from here to the moon. Just AC/DC and Zeppelin are enough to keep you busy for a year or two.
I'm late to the ballgame but hey, if you're still reading these, check out AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," then listen to Bob River's "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep!" Not only funny but Bob sounds almost exactly like the original singer Bon Scott! It's amazing!
Angus Young is on lead guitar. Note on the opening licks, it sounds like two guitars, but he's doing it one-handed. Also, the little hoppy dance is called the duckwalk. Duckwalk was originated by T-bone Walker in the 1930s, popularized by Chuck Berry in the 50s, and then of course, by Angus here. You are CORRECK to pick up on the stadium vibes. This song is one of the all-time epic rock anthems. Angus said he can't play this unless he's bobbing his head. Someone asked Angus if he might be the best guitar player in the world. His answer was he's not even the best guitarist in his family. He was referring to Malcolm, who plays rhythm on this, but Angus said Malcolm is probably better at guitar solos than Angus himself.
I remember watching an interview with Eric Clapton. Thet asked him how did it feel to be the best guitar palayer ever. He looked pissed and he said go ask Jimi Hendrix:)
in the video he is playing one handed but on the actual studio recording he is picking with his other and (i.e. using 2 hands) you can clearly hear the attack of the pick on the string in the recording. It's all on one string too. you can play it hammer on and pull off like he is doing in the video but it's not the same as the original recording. That was for optics in the video
Angus and Malcolm's older brother George played with The Easybeats (Friday On My Mind) and wrote and produced the early AC/DC hits... Angus also had nephew Stevie alongside in the band in later years. Talented family indeed. Saw them with Bon Scott singing in 1977 and 1978 and again twice with Brian Johnson here. Just make you smile every song.
“Old school” compared to today. If it’s good, it’s old school...in this case, old school head banging rock, absolutely! This and others of the day, like Zep, Pink, (our generation’s Pink-not head banging, but still old school, for those chilling and floating moments, and not that chick!), for example, were the major players of the soundtrack of life. Still have the AC/DC tank top from the concert when they first toured with this song...and I’ve kept in in new condition. Only wore it a few times and lovingly packed that one up in my decade box. Gotta have decade boxes of your fav stuff, at least one box per decade. It’s in there.
Hey Maggie It’s hard to listen to somebody interrupting the song every 10 seconds🤬 I don’t think he gets rock ‘n’ roll He hears the words but he ain’t feeling it🤘🏼 boycott Hasbro & Coke 🤮
Ya'll had all the good music back in the day. Why do you think the "older generation" constantly complains about the amount of garbage that gets put on the radio and promoted by the industry? The over-use of auto-tune and "superstars" being made on talent shows and not by touring for years mastering their craft? Because we had THIS sort of stuff blaring out of every speaker for miles around.
this is why i like david draiman from disturbed, when he was singing sound of silence live it got autotuned cause he had a cold, he was so madabout it he made everyone go to the studio to make a live version once he was better
My mom didn’t want me listening to them in the 80’s, just ask my daughter how well that turned out! 🤣 This is her all time favorite band. Growing up, I feel GenXers had the best and most broad music of all time!
I am 65 and a huge fan of AC/DC. My mother, God rest her soul, saw them in concert. She also loved Angus!!! This is true rock and roll nothing coming out today compares.
And Angus Young totally credits Chuck Berry, he was hugely influenced & huge fan of him, even as a Scottish baby brought up in Straya mate, Sydney to be exact!!!
My family calls it the chuck berry. My dad does it with all the brides at family weddings - and usually end up spilling the bride. It’s a tradition! Lol. 🤣
@@schechter01 No shit! The best 😍 High school, smoking more than cigs at recess. Those were the good ol' days. I wish this generation was as educated tho...
He got that right! We did. It was real music from real people and stuff. And when people went to concerts, they didn’t watch them through their (nonexistent) phones, and cameras were not allowed. If they caught you with one, you would have to go put it in your car or they’d take it (same with booze and weapons and sometimes even your studded belt if they were feeling particularly fussy). Concert goers actually watched the band in front of them performing with their own two eyes, with no screen in between. They left everything from outside the arena behind, and were all in for the music.
YES...we DID in fact "have all the dope music back in the day" as u say...At 66 now, I saw more pure music talent in the 60's and 70's than the current generation can imagine. Oh yea, and without all the fancy help like Autotune and alike. Neat to see you guys FINALLY opening up and discovering what us old guys knew ALL ALONG!! Just a SHAME u can't experience most of it LIVE Enjoy
I never tire of watching a new generation enjoy the video for this rock anthem for the first time. Back in the day, you would hear this song coming out of virtually every professional sports team's locker room before their games. It was part of every team's pre-game ritual. Keep up the great work!
This song is nothing but pure energy from the gradual build up of the opening riff all the way to the end. Just a constant building of energy. you can see when they perform this song they give 100% and leave it all on the stage. It was played so heavily in rotation on the radio when it was released that I grew to hate the song, but all these years later I am reminded of what an awesome display of the live of music it was.
I love watching Angus do his version of Chuck Berry's duck walk. He takes it up a notch while honoring his inspiration. That is Rock n Roll! Brother I already loved the song but watching you enjoy made it better. Great video. Do your thing!
A journalist asked Angus "what's it like being the best guitar player in the world?" and his response was "man, I'm not even the best guitar player in my family." :) love him
I was born in 74 & I don't remember a time not listening to this kinda music. We were there from the beginning of most of their music careers. We are a very blessed generation with our music to say the least. It will never be topped. I enjoy so much watching our younger generations rocking out to our "old folks" music.❤ I'd like to watch ur reaction to "For those about to Rock" by ACDC, & "God gave rock n roll to u" by KISS.
Totally agree, often I listen to this music. Just to travel back in time. To the greatest decade, the 80’s. To get away from this insane world we live in today.
I LOVE that the younger generation is getting into this stuff, growing up in the 80's, we had some of the best music of all time, 70's and 80's both. Back then talent was necessary to make it big, and these guys had it in SPADES. AC/DC is very much an arena rock band, you nailed that one right off. Bon Jovi is another great 80's rock band you should check out, as well as Van Halen, and Scorpions just to name a few. Rock is a bit different than Metal, but it's ALL good :D
I'm a 70 year old Aussie and grew up on AC/DC - one of the best and loudest bands in the world. Paul McCartney has even commented on how loud they are. I've seen them in concert 3 times, the last being in 2018. 2 live concerts you should watch, Live at Riverplate and Live at Donnington. My all time favorite is Back in Black at Donnington. Love to listen to that one with the volume up as loud as it will go. A truly great Aussie band.
Don't forget Cream, Queen, John Farnham, Moody Blues, The Shadows,.... oh my goodness my mind is spinning out with all the talent during our era. I'm also 66. My kids in their 40's added others like Metallica and ACDC to my listening pleasure, in their teens.
Great reaction! Actually, this video is not from a live show, but AC/DC is known for their live concerts, so they usually try to make their official videos look live. Check out almost anything from their DVD “Live at the River Plate”. If you want old school AC/DC with original singer (Dave Evans doesn’t count) Bon Scott, check out anything from “Live at the Apollo Theatre” from 1978.
Live at the River Plate is the best of AC/DC concert you can find here on RUclips...imho. An incredible show, for sure! Back in Black, Highway to Hell, Hells Bells, T.N.T. is a great place to start.
"Nobody can beat him in hopscotch." Absolutely brilliant commentary. Saw them live in 1979 - with Bon Scott. Younger Angus was extremely active on stage. Check out the official video for "Riff Raff." It will amaze you...
I would do(Highway to Hell) Bon Scott is the original lead singer he died of alcohol poisoning in 1980. He first did this song in 1979, and it became AC/DC signature song. There is a version of this song done by Brian Johnson, he is the lead singer of the group now. The man on lead guitar is Angus Young he always wears shots when performing. Malcolm Young bass died of lung cancer 2017 he was 64.and brother of Angus Young. Drummer Phil Rudd.
I saw them in concert and Angus never once stood still. He was the original RED BULL!!! Crazy energy for one man. Non-stop, full throttle personality! Just incredible.
Dude, I appricate your honesty on this. My daughter and I used to have a deal where we always went to the concerts of groups like this that I grew up with, I remember one time as we were leaving one and she turned to me and said, Dad, what's cool about all these concerts is that these bands all play their own instruments. Made me stop and think. And she's right. Nice review and I'm glad you liked it. They have been one of my favs for decades. came out in the 70s.
They are still and always have been the best. Been a huge fan since I first heard them when I was 15 still enjoying listening to them 43 years later. Never seen them live, stood outside one of their concerts in 80 as I did not have enough money to go in and even through a wall they sounded amazing!!
The spark was generated in the 50s in USA by guys such as Jerry Lee, Chuck, Bill Haley , Elvis, then the flame became a bonfire in the 60s when the Brits trasformed rock'n roll into rock , then in the 70s this Little band of Aussies just stepped up and grabbed the whole thing by the balls, in the purest and wildest Aussie way. Legend
I still headbang to AC/DC at age 52, risking a severe whiplash injury nowadays.... But, I am so happy that I was born in 1970, been to many live concerts with bands that has become absolute legends.
This video you picked, along with Moneytalks & Are You Ready were all filmed at the Agrodome in Vancouver, BC Canada. Myself, my mom & my aunt are extras in all 3! Long days but so much fun!!!
We get what you mean about Brian’s voice. He’s a Geordie from the north east of England and was a car mechanic before being recruited by AC/DC at age 32!
My son did too. I played all the good old stuff to him at an early age. Taught him what good guitarists and bassists sound like, what was good song writing, etc. He likes AC/DC but Rush is his favorite.
Yes, yes we did have all the cool music back in the day. You’ve officially been “thunderstruck” 🤘🏼. It makes me happy to see new generations listening to music I did in high school!! You should listen to more of their songs, maybe a little GNR (guns and roses), Led Zepplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd I have a LOT of suggestions if you’re interested lol.
Angus and Malcolm Young were born in Scotland but moved to Australia. Brian Johnson the singer is English. Cliff Williams the bass player is English. The drummer in this video is from Wales. 👍
Glad this was part of my youth! Living in Australia…..AC/DC were gods!! Back in Black is the best album ever produced and would be in 99% of everyone’s collection! #ProudToBeAustralian
Young man, this is no less than the best rock band of all time. Love hip hop but that will never top this off. Any music lover cannot call themselves music lover if they dont know ACDC. Cheers on the reaction!
I just want to say that this reaction to music is soo fun. The first time I heard acdc i was 12 years old (1976). They blew me away! You should check out TNT with Bon Scott as lead vocals. I’m absolutely loving your reaction to these songs! Thanks for being you!✌🏻
As a 55yr old Aussie i grew up on Acca Dacca.. been around since the 70's. This's Brian Johnson singing. My son used to crawl over to the speakers and bounce, I'd freak cause them speakers where ground level & loud.(bizarre fact: I only went out with my baby daddy bc he looked like Malcolm Young)😅 He's 40 now,still loves Acca Dacca. The best was Bon Scott. Aussie rock is soo underrated!
Here is a list that you should try: -Thunderstruck - Live at River Plate -Let There be Rock (official video) or Live at Apollo Theatre -TNT (Live at River Plate) -Riff Raff Live at Apollo Theatre - The Jack Live at River Plate - Whole lotta Rosie (Live at River Plate)
Imagine this song being played before a basketball or football or hockey game. It’s blasting on the field or it’s blasting in the locker rooms before the boys go out to play! It is done all the time, hypes players up! Thx for reaction. 🙏💕
This song is the anthem played at the start of every game for the Melbourne NRL rugby team Melbourne Storm and usually accompanied by small fire works and it does get the whole crowd pumped up
For a good laugh you should check out Big Balls by them, it is older with their original lead singer,Bon Scott, also with Bon Scott it’s a long way to the top
I've seen them 3 times in concert and one was this tour. Angus is the maniac with the guitar that never stops from beginning of the conert to the end. He puts the energizer bunny to shame.
Singer - Brian Johnson Cofounder and lead guitarist - Angus Young Founder and Secondary Guitarist - Malcom Young Bass - Cliff Williams Drummer and replacement for Phil Rudd - Chris Slade Album - The Razor’s Edge Written by - Angus and Malcom Young Released- 1990 Track number - 1 Other hits - “MoneyTalks” “Fire You’re Guns” ------ Fun fact Phil Rudd was facing legal problems during the recording so Chris Slade took in for him! “And Angus is the main show of AC/DC”! This is my favorite band, and I’m 18 and it’s been my favorite for 15 years!
As a hard core AC/DC fan, I have to say Michael Jackson was truly the king of pop. I remember watching him on his families TV show. the first song I ever heard Michael sing was Rockin' Robin.
Angus Young - one of the founders of the band, doing his duck walk. Yes, this is a real stadium concert. Check out the same sound they did live at River Plate Stadium. There were 110,000 screaming fans at that concert.
Yo...the fact your absolutely buzzing over the best rock and roll band ever got you another sub. Angus young is without a doubt the best guitarist of all time, mans a living legend. much love
Solid insight near the end. I mean in those times they *could* use loops by physically cutting and splicing tape, but judging from the live albums bands had, they probably weren't doing that. In this digital era you just need to get it right for ten seconds and that's even IF you use a physical instrument instead of a sample.
YES, we did have all the great music. The seventies, eighties, and to a lesser extent the Nineties, were some of the greatest artist to ever live. Many were fans of the great works of Bach, Beethoven, and Amadeus. Joey Ramone, once said, Amadeus was the greatest rocker to ever live.
Could try back in black by acdc back in black is the album name as well and one of the biggest records they made. The whole album is great but other albums also great. Be careful with acdc since some songs get blocked like dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
Who did that move first? You need to watch you some Chuck Berry! One of the original 1950s rockers, and ground zero for rock'n'roll! Of AC/DC songs, "You Shook Me All Night Long" is a classic, and has anyone suggested "Dirty Deeds" yet?
The two brothers behind all this got their name from their sister's sewing machine. It was AC/DC and they adopted it as their band name because it was POWER!!
Super glad to see that you actually appreciate AC/DC. I'm old school. I am in my 50's so remember when Thunderstruk was originally released. So how about checking out some of these other bands from my high school days. Scorpions (check out World Wide Live). Accept (Balls to the Wall). I could go on. But ya already said several other bands in this. LOL. Hope this helps, and have fun.
I enjoy your reactions and I’m glad to see you’re enjoying this legendary rock music but I have a question would you blast this riding around your neighborhood where your friends can hear it???
You stick to rap. Ok? Don't quit your day job.
admit it is not the best AD/DC song
Is there something wrong with you? Blitz fkn rocks it 🤟
The greatest Australian rock band ever.
Be nice or be quiet.
Let people appreciate different music ffs.

Why mess with perfection, lol.
An old joke, AC/DC only plays one song, but it's a really good song

"yall had all the coolest music back in the day" truer words have never been spoken 👍👍
Angus Young is a legend on the guitar he could literally play it while falling down stairs.
Listen to old ACDC WITH bon Scott
He probably has, the man has played full tours blackout drunk before.
A journalist asked Angus "what's it like being the best guitar player in the world?" and his response was "man, I'm not even the best guitar player in my family." :) love him
Every other guitarist calls angus a monster guitarist they are not wrong
And give props to Malcolm!

I enjoy so much watching our younger generations rocking out to our "old folks" music.❤ I'd like to watch ur reaction to "For those about to Rock" by ACDC, & "God gave rock n roll to u" by KISS.
Totally agree, often I listen to this music. Just to travel back in time. To the greatest decade, the 80’s. To get away from this insane world we live in today.
Was a delight watching your reaction! Happy to see a young person enjoying the same jam us old folks grew up on! Cheers!
His reaction is very disrespectful.
It's just fun to watch someone enjoying AC/DC...
are we just gonna ignore that Blitz said "No one beating him at hop scotch" to Angus bruh im dead xD
Hopscotch champion here no I’m not playing with Angus Young!😂🤣👍❤️✌️🌼
😂😂😂😂😂
I busted 🤣🤣🤣
That made me cough, I swallowed my gum. lol
Fell tf out!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE that the younger generation is getting into this stuff, growing up in the 80's, we had some of the best music of all time, 70's and 80's both. Back then talent was necessary to make it big, and these guys had it in SPADES.
AC/DC is very much an arena rock band, you nailed that one right off. Bon Jovi is another great 80's rock band you should check out, as well as Van Halen, and Scorpions just to name a few. Rock is a bit different than Metal, but it's ALL good :D
U2
Take it back further - 50's - 90's. Still some good music being produced, just harder to locate:)
Definitely listen to Lynard Skynard if you like old music. Obviously Jimi Hendrick’s.
I'm a 70 year old Aussie and grew up on AC/DC - one of the best and loudest bands in the world. Paul McCartney has even commented on how loud they are. I've seen them in concert 3 times, the last being in 2018.
2 live concerts you should watch, Live at Riverplate and Live at Donnington. My all time favorite is Back in Black at Donnington. Love to listen to that one with the volume up as loud as it will go. A truly great Aussie band.
Grateful to be one of those who had the dope bands. Even more grateful some are still rocking. Seen these guys many times and each one is my favorite.
I'm 66 and was born in the best era of music. From the Beatles to Elvis to ACDC.
Don't forget Cream, Queen, John Farnham, Moody Blues, The Shadows,.... oh my goodness my mind is spinning out with all the talent during our era. I'm also 66. My kids in their 40's added others like Metallica and ACDC to my listening pleasure, in their teens.
Ditto
@@nonacee5065 I'm 63. ELO, ELP Zeppelin, The Doors, Boston, Floyd....
@@mellymom1121 there was certainly talent in our time.
@@nonacee5065 dont forget guns n roses
Great reaction! Actually, this video is not from a live show, but AC/DC is known for their live concerts, so they usually try to make their official videos look live. Check out almost anything from their DVD “Live at the River Plate”. If you want old school AC/DC with original singer (Dave Evans doesn’t count) Bon Scott, check out anything from “Live at the Apollo Theatre” from 1978.
Live at the River Plate is the best of AC/DC concert you can find here on RUclips...imho. An incredible show, for sure! Back in Black, Highway to Hell, Hells Bells, T.N.T. is a great place to start.
he gotta check out Bon Scott the bag pipes gonna flip him out
In the 80s it wasn’t a official party till ac/dc was played
That hopscotch comment is underrated... I laughed for real
"Nobody can beat him in hopscotch." Absolutely brilliant commentary. Saw them live in 1979 - with Bon Scott. Younger Angus was extremely active on stage. Check out the official video for "Riff Raff." It will amaze you...
I would do(Highway to Hell) Bon Scott is the original lead singer he died of alcohol poisoning in 1980. He first did this song in 1979, and it became AC/DC signature song. There is a version of this song done by Brian Johnson, he is the lead singer of the group now. The man on lead guitar is Angus Young he always wears shots when performing. Malcolm Young bass died of lung cancer 2017 he was 64.and brother of Angus Young. Drummer Phil Rudd.
That's Angus young on the guitar
Their concerts are the most badass concerts you'll ever see and the video is just like it is in real life
I saw them in concert and Angus never once stood still. He was the original RED BULL!!! Crazy energy for one man. Non-stop, full throttle personality! Just incredible.
Dude, I appricate your honesty on this. My daughter and I used to have a deal where we always went to the concerts of groups like this that I grew up with, I remember one time as we were leaving one and she turned to me and said, Dad, what's cool about all these concerts is that these bands all play their own instruments. Made me stop and think. And she's right. Nice review and I'm glad you liked it. They have been one of my favs for decades. came out in the 70s.
They are still and always have been the best. Been a huge fan since I first heard them when I was 15 still enjoying listening to them 43 years later. Never seen them live, stood outside one of their concerts in 80 as I did not have enough money to go in and even through a wall they sounded amazing!!
I'm almost pretty sure Chuck Berry did the duck walk first. You owe it to yourself to check out some Johnny be Good!!!!
Yes.
Chuck just stole that song from Marty McFly.
The spark was generated in the 50s in USA by guys such as Jerry Lee, Chuck, Bill Haley , Elvis, then the flame became a bonfire in the 60s when the Brits trasformed rock'n roll into rock , then in the 70s this Little band of Aussies just stepped up and grabbed the whole thing by the balls, in the purest and wildest Aussie way.
Legend
Don't forget The Tielman Brothers, even Paul Mc. Cartney like them and saw their lived in german 1958.
"Y'all had all the dope music back in the day." Yes, we did.
I still rock out with AC/DC....70 YRS OLD HERE!!!
I still headbang to AC/DC at age 52, risking a severe whiplash injury nowadays....
But, I am so happy that I was born in 1970, been to many live concerts with bands that has become absolute legends.
I love the fact that a young man like yourself get it with our music. Much love man. 🤘🤘🤘🤘💖💖
This video you picked, along with Moneytalks & Are You Ready were all filmed at the Agrodome in Vancouver, BC Canada. Myself, my mom & my aunt are extras in all 3! Long days but so much fun!!!
That’s soooooo cool man 🔥🙏🏽
Hey, it's good to learn where this was shot. Thanks for commenting.
We get what you mean about Brian’s voice. He’s a Geordie from the north east of England and was a car mechanic before being recruited by AC/DC at age 32!
He talks like that in interview so yes, it’s his voice.
Yea he replaced original singer Bon Scott after Bon passed away. Need to listen to Long Way To The Top (if you wanta rock and roll)
Oh baby you have so much to learn about AC/DC. They are our best export. Yes us Aussies know how to rock
And their sound still rocks today!! It brings me back to when I was 30, love them!!
Y'all had the cool music back in the day, he ain't wrong
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I've grown up with AC/DC🤘🏻
so did i
...and im better for it :)
I wwas at their 2nd EVER concert in '74
My son did too. I played all the good old stuff to him at an early age. Taught him what good guitarists and bassists sound like, what was good song writing, etc. He likes AC/DC but Rush is his favorite.
One of the most unique and recognizable voices in Rock. I have friends that can't stand him but I love this band. Their loss!
Their loss I agree with you 100%
He sort of reminds of Bon Scott, but sings a little bit differently.
Kind a screams more than Bon did.
Yes, yes we did have all the cool music back in the day. You’ve officially been “thunderstruck” 🤘🏼. It makes me happy to see new generations listening to music I did in high school!! You should listen to more of their songs, maybe a little GNR (guns and roses), Led Zepplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd I have a LOT of suggestions if you’re interested lol.
What a smooth guiter riff throughout this song. A wonderful and unique classic song and performance. It's hit and miss finding good music these days.
The reason is they're an Aussie band, we know how to rock.
Angus Young is the only surviving member of the original band now.
Angus and Malcolm Young were born in Scotland but moved to Australia. Brian Johnson the singer is English. Cliff Williams the bass player is English. The drummer in this video is from Wales. 👍
It's probably all the cardio work that's kept Angus alive all these years.
@@shifterbbr1986 didn't know Chris Slade was Welsh.
@@charliegeorge9393 I read it somewhere, please correct me if I’m wrong. 👍
Glad this was part of my youth! Living in Australia…..AC/DC were gods!! Back in Black is the best album ever produced and would be in 99% of everyone’s collection! #ProudToBeAustralian
70s n 80s was the best musically Fam..the best years of my musical LIFE was in the 80s on God,rap..r&b & rick..no decades like 70s n 80s PeriodT 🔥🔥💯
Young man, this is no less than the best rock band of all time. Love hip hop but that will never top this off. Any music lover cannot call themselves music lover if they dont know ACDC. Cheers on the reaction!
Right…
I just want to say that this reaction to music is soo fun. The first time I heard acdc i was 12 years old (1976). They blew me away! You should check out TNT with Bon Scott as lead vocals. I’m absolutely loving your reaction to these songs! Thanks for being you!✌🏻
Back in black is a classic from ac DC
As a 55yr old Aussie i grew up on Acca Dacca.. been around since the 70's. This's Brian Johnson singing. My son used to crawl over to the speakers and bounce, I'd freak cause them speakers where ground level & loud.(bizarre fact: I only went out with my baby daddy bc he looked like Malcolm Young)😅 He's 40 now,still loves Acca Dacca. The best was Bon Scott. Aussie rock is soo underrated!
Angus Young been strutting his stuff since '76. Once you've been in the crowd for AC/DC no other gig feels the same.
🙏🏽💪🏽
And they're one of the most successful Australian bands in our music history
Here is a list that you should try:
-Thunderstruck - Live at River Plate
-Let There be Rock (official video) or Live at Apollo Theatre
-TNT (Live at River Plate)
-Riff Raff Live at Apollo Theatre
- The Jack Live at River Plate
- Whole lotta Rosie (Live at River Plate)
Oh, gawwwwd, yes! Highway to Hell at River Plate!100,000+people in Argentina....
Don't forget Whole lotta rosie at River Plate
@@stormy8207 of Course, my mistake, I tought that it was alteady included...
Heck! Just watch the whole River Plate concert!
Love your channel, and the way you give music a chance . This is some of the best music ever made, I’m also a huge Queen fan. Keep rocking my friend!
Imagine this song being played before a basketball or football or hockey game. It’s blasting on the field or it’s blasting in the locker rooms before the boys go out to play! It is done all the time, hypes players up! Thx for reaction. 🙏💕
The college football games I go to play this even now
This song is the anthem played at the start of every game for the Melbourne NRL rugby team Melbourne Storm and usually accompanied by small fire works and it does get the whole crowd pumped up
I really appreciated that you understood that people that were doing music in my generation were so creative.
"I need some more AC/DC!"
Welcome to the party!
Yesss
AC/DC Back in Black is my favorite. You could react to this whole concert and never hit a bad song.
My favorite version of this song is the live at River Plate in Argentina. The crowd is amazing
Their entire Highway to Hell album is amazing. A lesser known song from it that kicks ass is Walk All Over You.
It’s so DOPE bcuz it’s AC/DC!!!! One of the greatest rock bands in history! Period!
Man they are!
"Whole lot of Rosie"
"Hells Bells"
"Dog Eat Dog"
"Sink The Pink"
"Beating Around The Bush"
You need to dive into this band. This is one of their later songs. So much more to discover. Great band.
For a good laugh you should check out Big Balls by them, it is older with their original lead singer,Bon Scott, also with Bon Scott it’s a long way to the top
Will do!
I've seen them 3 times in concert and one was this tour. Angus is the maniac with the guitar that never stops from beginning of the conert to the end. He puts the energizer bunny to shame.

This is my favorite band, and I’m 18 and it’s been my favorite for 15 years!
AA/DC is unmatched. Best rock band ever and Angus kills it with his moves.
Yup, the next tour should be sponsored by Aspercreme😂😅 God bless em.
Could not agree more!
You shook me.all night long is another great one
As a hard core AC/DC fan, I have to say Michael Jackson was truly the king of pop. I remember watching him on his families TV show. the first song I ever heard Michael sing was Rockin' Robin.
Raw talent no auto tune...... What a blast ..... What the hell has happened to music these days
Hells Bells & For those about to rock mad 🔥🔥 from them too ❗
We salute you
ACDC live at River plate. You haven't seen a crowd until you watch that!!!
Party band. It doesn't matter who you are. Beer, babes, bangers, rappers, young, old, you put on this group, you're moving.
Agreed!
Angus Young - one of the founders of the band, doing his duck walk. Yes, this is a real stadium concert. Check out the same sound they did live at River Plate Stadium. There were 110,000 screaming fans at that concert.
THATS INSANE!
Angus Young, one of the best guitarists ever!
Many reactors always react to this same song , but remember that acdc has a giant catalog .
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. More AC/DC Hells Bells next please bruv 👏👏👏
Yo...the fact your absolutely buzzing over the best rock and roll band ever got you another sub. Angus young is without a doubt the best guitarist of all time, mans a living legend. much love
Solid insight near the end. I mean in those times they *could* use loops by physically cutting and splicing tape, but judging from the live albums bands had, they probably weren't doing that. In this digital era you just need to get it right for ten seconds and that's even IF you use a physical instrument instead of a sample.
YES, we did have all the great music.
The seventies, eighties, and to a lesser extent the Nineties, were some of the greatest artist to ever live.
Many were fans of the great works of Bach, Beethoven, and Amadeus.
Joey Ramone, once said, Amadeus was the greatest rocker to ever live.
Could try back in black by acdc back in black is the album name as well and one of the biggest records they made. The whole album is great but other albums also great. Be careful with acdc since some songs get blocked like dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
Who did that move first? You need to watch you some Chuck Berry! One of the original 1950s rockers, and ground zero for rock'n'roll! Of AC/DC songs, "You Shook Me All Night Long" is a classic, and has anyone suggested "Dirty Deeds" yet?
Everything on the Black in Black album. Your comments always entertain me and I'm pretty sure your Mama would've thought I was Satan's daughter.
The two brothers behind all this got their name from their sister's sewing machine. It was AC/DC and they adopted it as their band name because it was POWER!!
The best use of this song was in the movie “battleship “
Super glad to see that you actually appreciate AC/DC. I'm old school. I am in my 50's so remember when Thunderstruk was originally released. So how about checking out some of these other bands from my high school days. Scorpions (check out World Wide Live). Accept (Balls to the Wall). I could go on. But ya already said several other bands in this. LOL. Hope this helps, and have fun.
Man I love them! Glad to take you back!
I enjoy your reactions and I’m glad to see you’re enjoying this legendary rock music but I have a question would you blast this riding around your neighborhood where your friends can hear it???
Your reactions are a hoot! Love seeing a newbie. It’s fun reliving it for many of us!
