hi everyone! one more week of me not responding to comments in the first hour unfortunately - a few recent life changes have been keeping me busy. but still i hope you enjoy this video & that youtube doesn't take it down for copyright lol
Have you heard the all female band from Japan that does power metal Lovebites? Check out Holy War ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html Asami the singer sings in english the twin guitar attack of Midori and Miyako is amazing Miho is solid on the bass and Haruna is a monster on the drums always beating them like they owe her money.
Wonderful to see you connect with you Scotch-Aussie brethren in real time. Usually, when somebody listens to AC/DC tracks like these, the response is similar, but it's awesome to see someone articulate the fun of this band so well. This was a great episode.
Bon , Angus and Malcom were all born in Scotland and their families moved to Australia when they were wee ( Scottish for small) . If you get a chance look for ac/dc live from 1978 in Glasgow Apollo
The genius of AC/DC was to take simple riffs, play them masterfully on the backbeat, and every song becomes catchy as hell; sticks in your head forever :)
Oh so many songs to recommend: Whola Lotta Rosie, Highway to Hell, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Rock n Roll ain't Noise Pollution, Hells Bells, Let There be Rock, Shoot to Thrill, For Those About to Rock, Thunderstruck, You Shook me All Night Long, Stiff Upper Lip
Bon born in Scotland, his family immigrated to Fremantle when he was 6, also the Young brothers born in Scotland, but the family immigrated to Sydney when they were young children. All the musical influence came after they arrived in Australia. George Young the older brother of Malcolm and Angus, was in the Easybeats, and was one of Australia's greatest producers and songwriter, Albert records is where he worked.
"Let There Be Rock' is a great Bon Scott era cut that you might not see recommended as much as stuff like "Hell's Bells" or "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (not that those aren't good tracks!)
My hat's off to Brian Johnson for stepping in as lead singer and helping AC/DC becoming superstars, but I will always be team Bon Scott!

High Voltage was released in two different editions, first in 1975 in Australia only with rather different tracklisting - then internationally in 1976 with the tracklisting you reacted to that also includes songs from their other only Australia-only issued album T.N.T (also from 1975).
@@Mr-Nobody- I myself have heard that God has really good WiFi signal. Maybe Jesus is his technician. Anyway have some rest Jfk,they literally used your brain to paint a car red.
Love AC/DC and as a Scotsman I'm going to claim 50% of AC/DC. Great reaction! I cannot wait for you to get around to some Nightwish, particularly live with Floor Jansen singing - 'Ghost Love Score' from their 2013 Wacken concert is a great place to start. They are going to blow your mind.
Saw them in 1973 outside the Royal Exhibition building in Fitzroy Melbourne, I was 12 and it was my first concert! ps: Melbourne is the only city in the world to win World's most livable city 7 years running and was recently voted friendliest city in the world. This video was shot in the heart of Melbourne. Nice to see the old green rattler trams going down Swanston Street one more time. Us schoolkids used to sing: It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.
It’s a long way was released on the album T.N.T in 1975 and was also part of the international high voltage in 1976. Their first album was Australian high voltage which was released in 1975, this album doesn’t have the song high voltage on it because that was also part of the T.N.T album
These were from AC/DC's 2nd Aussie album "T.N.T" in 1975... the original 'High voltage' was the 1st Aussie album, which was recorded with George Young on bass and Tony Currenti on drums in the studio... then drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Mark Evans joined AC/DC in '75 and were on the 2nd album. AC/DC was signed internationally in '76, and they released a 'High voltage' album that compiled songs from the first 2 Aussie albums... Mark Evans was replaced by bassist Cliff Williams in 1977 after their 4th overall album.
The "Flick Of The Switch" album has a song called "Bedlam In Belgium". That bedlam gig was the first time I saw AC/DC, back in October 1977... The concert got cut short because the band started way too late and there was no permit for making substancial noise after 10PM. Cops arrived, AC/DC didn't want to stop, copper pulled a gun on stage, lights on and we went home, still half deaf myself because of standing a few feet from the main left loudspeakers.
A couple of AC/DC songs that I haven't seen many reactions to are " big balls" (released on live wire album) & " ride on" it's one of their slower songs
There is a video to this song that you still need to check out , showing band playing the bag pipes while on the back of a truck going down the highway !! awesome !
Hi! I ve got a few things to say in the best of senses. 1 ) you re, by far, my favorite music reactor in the history of music reactors. I see the same passion for music that I've got. 2) Aca daca? I was blown away when I first heard that. 3) You've got to be the last aussie that never listen to ac DC. I mean, it's like a Chinese person who never ate chop suey. Anyway, I just want to congratulate you. I'm sorry if my English isn't the best, but I'm a little rusty. Cheers!!!!
I think you'll find it's "it's a long way to the shops if you want a sausage roll/chiko roll"(depending on how old you are) :) ". You got it half right. Great reaction to these legends. Thanks.
In their video for "Let There be Rock" they caught on film the moment that Bon Scott breaks his ankle after jumping over the band. AC/DC was so much of an influence on Scott Ian (guitarist from Anthrax) that he has an Angus Young tattoo.
AC/DC was my favorite band when I was first really getting into music. Highway to Hell is a killer album!!! The band, Rose Tattoo was very similar style.
OMG I love watching you react to stuff exactly the same way I did when I first heard it when it was released! I'm 57 now, so I was early teens in the 70's and late teens/early 20's in the 80's. I love the way you listen too, how musical you are, how you pick out the instruments, and how you value the playing. If you want to keep doing Australian stuff you should definitely listen to The Sunnyboys first album (self titled) and The Saints first album (I'm) Stranded. And the Hoodoo Gurus debut album Stoneage Romeos. If you love those albums reach out, I've got heaps more :) Keep on loving the journey!
Great reactions! On a trip to Melbourne some friends and I stumbled upon the AC/DC bar. Not a huge fan of the band myself but can't deny that they made some awesome and fun rock music
Great song analysis! It is very true that they have something of Thin Lizzy, I had never thought about it! And on the other hand, you remind me a bit of Pam Beasley from The Office, you're like the Pam Beasley of rock! Greetings from Buenos Aires, I love your videos
There's a video of IALWTTT filmed with the band and some pipers on the back of a truck heading down Swanston St, Melbourne which you should recognise even though it has changed a little bit since then (it wasn't closed to traffic)
I’ve just found you since yesterday and I love watching you reactions. So much fun to watch you and how energetic you get and how much you groove to the music. If you never have, you should do this album in its entirety cause it’s a great one
You HAVE GOT TO SEE THE VIDEO !!!!! The band is on the back of a truck playing while going through a city(& you get to see Bon Scott PLAY THE BAGPIPES!!!)
Hi Kira, it was bagpipes you heard, Bon Scott, Malcolm Young, and Angus Young were all born in Scotland, Bon in Forfar, on the 6th July 1946, Malcolm Young on 28th January 1953 in Glasgow, and Angus Young on 31st March 1955 in Glasgow, Bon played the bagpipes brilliantly, AC/DC were formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1973 by Scottish born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, they moved from Glasgow to Sydney when they were young, Bon Scott moved from Kirriemuir, Fife, Scotland, to Fremantle, Australia, Bon sadly passed away on February 19th 1980 aged just 33, Malcolm Young passed away on November 18th 2017 aged 64 due to dementia, AC/DC are still going strong today in 2021, in their 60s and 70s, and they have a brand new album out called PWR /UP!! 😀 😀 RIP Malcolm Young, 1953 - 2017 🙏 🙏 RIP Bon Scott, 1946 - 1980 🙏 🙏 Check out their brand new official music video for Witch's Spell, it's amazing!! 😀 😀 Current line up is : Brian Johnson, 73, on vocals Cliff Williams, 71, on bass guitar Phil Rudd, 67, on the drums Stevie Young, 64, on rhythm guitar Angus Young, 66, on lead guitar Stevie Young is the nephew of Angus and the late Malcolm Young!! 😀 😀 Big Hi from Scotland!! 😀 😀
Yay! The first time I ever had a favourite band it was ACDC. Like you, my first exposure was in the mighty School of Rock. I highly recommend including some live footage (if possible) in your next listen, particularly from the Bon Scott era of the band. Angus Young is the reason I wanted to play guitar, just from his stage antics :)
One of the few songs AC/DC had to tune up to match the bagpipes. I'm pretty sure this song was written in "A", as many of their songs are, but because the bagpipes were tuned to Bb, which is a standard for them, they tuned up to match it. Bon used to play the pipes live too.
Bon Scott era AC/DC, top 10 in rock history. And, as you discover along the way, and, explained others below, have already explained the Scottish backgrounds of AC/DC. You are spot on again about the subject matter, and style. And, by now, I'm sure you are aware of the sad story of Bon's passing in London in 1980. Hope all is well Kira!
The music video for "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)", was filmed on 23 February 1976 for the Australian music television program Countdown. It featured the band's members on the back of a flatbed truck travelling on Swanston Street in Melbourne, Australia.
Totally awesome! I knew you'd love them. One of my greatest influences right there. We want more, and it would be awesome if you did an entire album, luv.
Phil Rudd is one of my top five favorite drummers. He's one of those drummers you don't notice it there, but you would definitely notice if he wasn't there.
Oh my gosh....I 've been a sub for awhile but I saw this...insta smile on my face !!! You're great and awesome and super good reactor!!!! like a nuclear reactor lol !!! keep it up :)
i used to do a radio show for rock, metal and punk and i called the show High Voltage and used the tune as the intro music ah, good times Respect & Peace
This is actually from 1975's T'N'T album. The first 3 albums make up the worldwide version of High Voltage from 1976. The Albums which are different from Australia 1974 High Voltage, 1975 T'N'T, 1976 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Plus 1977's Let There Be Rock is 90% the same as everywhere else except one Lewd Song that was banned Crabsody In Blue which is only on the Australia Version.
Bon was scottish and learned how to play bagpipes when he was young and thought it would be fun to integrate bagpipes into a rock song. Try stay hungry from twisted sister if you like songs about a rock band trying to make it. Then the price by twisted sister which is a song about a band finally making it but their question is pretty much how to maintain that success and where they should go from there.
I first heard AC/DC back in 1976 (I was 8), the song was “Jailbreak”, and I was hooked. Seen AC/DC live four times, each performance was brilliant, AC/DC are the best live rock band, period. Malcolm (R.I.P), and his brother Angus, best guitar duo ever.
You have to catch the film clip for Long Way To The Top. The band are cruising along, performing on the back of a truck slowly making its way through Melbourne. Incidentally, AC/DC picked up Bon Scott here in Adelaide in '74, after sacking Dave Evans. Bon Scott used to sing in Fraternity from 1971(ish)-1974, a prog band that moved to Adelaide in '71. From time to time, Fraternity still get a bit of airplay on Proud To Be Loud, a retro-focused metal show here in Adelaide. (This paragraph was supposed to be a bit "Adelaide:Represent", but I think I just 'Sperged out a bit). If you want more Australian metal, you can't go past Mortal Sin. Their 2 80s albums are their best known, but there are a couple of post-hiatus albums from the 2000s, a live bootleg and I think an album from '91 that didn't go much anywhere. They were on the same label as Metallica in '89, so ended up touring with them that year. Grunge was still a few years away, and Mortal Sin's line-up didn't look so unstable yet, so they were being pushed as the next Metallica at the time. Then all of a sudden sales of thrash albums plummeted. Mayhemic Destruction (1986) is pretty dirty, production-wise, while Face of Despair (1989) is cleaned-up, from when Mortal Sin were fully on-board with Vertigo. I think it was issue 4 of Hot Metal magazine (an old Australian metal mag) that came with a free flexi-disc with Mortal Sin's 'I Am Immortal' from Face of Despair on it. About a decade ago I knew vinyl collectors who were just giving them away as uncollectable, and now all of a sudden you can't find them anywhere!
I like the fact that Bon and Brian are so different High Voltage was where I started and Its a Long Way and High Voltage are my favourites, wore the grooves out on the vinyl, the video for Long Way to The Top is fun (the band on a trailer driving down the road). Second favourite album (not necessarily good but fun), Def Leppard On Through The Night, it can be fun seeing the larval form of some bands also where I started with them
You really need to watch the official video, just a very young band riding a truck through the streets playing this as people just stare. LOL. Another song by Bon Scott is Let there be rock. One reactor asked about Bon's smile "Why's the brother look like he's up to something with that smile?" My answer was "Because he was.... " Bon loved to have fun! As for Bagpipes in Rock check out band called Slade a lot of their songs were credited to other bands in the States but they were the original and best.
Toadfish Rebecchi from Neighbours said" it's a long way to the shop if you wanna sausage roll" that's the first time I heard it, don't know if that's where it originated

You have no idea how often people in the U.S. listen to AC/DC. They are one of the most popular rock bands ever!
Same here in Canada, I remember disliking them as a little kid just because of how often they were played everywhere I went lol.
I think it's like this everywere. I live in europe and everyone knows them
It’s just a shame they only play like 3 or 4 songs out of entire catalog.
@@derekcurrent6353 the rights for the older songs are "lost in the mist" hehe
Their 7th album, Back in Black, is the #2 best selling album OF ALL TIME. They are huge EVERYWHERE.
Just wanted to point out that Malcom was, irrefutably, one of the greatest rhythm guitarists ever. Cheers!
RIP
Brian johnson is a great singer and human being... But Bon Scott is the man!!!! The legend!!!!
"Can I sit next to you girl . . . " Yes, Bon had a way with words.
@@terrylandess6072dave evans wrote the song. the original singer
Totally agree. Much prefer Bon Scott but Brian Johnson was a great replacement.
The genius of AC/DC was to take simple riffs, play them masterfully on the backbeat, and every song becomes catchy as hell; sticks in your head forever :)
Aye, those are bagpipes. Bon, Angus and Malcolm all born in Scotland.
i soooo love the scots!!! :) and, i'd love to retire in Scotland.
There's a statue of Bon with bagpipes in Kirriemuir.
And George too
They don't play "It's a long to the top" on live anymore cuz only Bon Scott (the old vocalists who died in 1980) knew how to play the bagpipe
For a heavier side to the band, I’d recommend Whole Lotta Rosie, Hells Bells, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
"Heavier side" - "Whole Lotta Rosie" - I get it. lol
@@michaelbuhl4250 lol the best puns are the unintentional ones 😂
@@michaelbuhl4250 lol i just got the joke

Bon Scott: "Attitude and Character'". Perfect.
Easter egg - The guitar chord progression for the chorus of "High Voltage" is A-C-D-C. Also, Thin Lizzy and AC/DC both wrote songs called "Jailbreak".
Jailbreak by AC/DC uses the same melody as Gloria by THEM but Thin Lizzy and AC/DC also both wrote songs called Are You Ready
They both had a song called “Rocker” also!
"Let There Be Rock' is a great Bon Scott era cut that you might not see recommended as much as stuff like "Hell's Bells" or "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (not that those aren't good tracks!)
And let there be sound!!!!!!
love that song.
If she reacts to that, she absolutely MUST react to the Agora Ballroom live version. Holy shit, what a song.
Their live album with Bonn Scott is a must - "If You Want Blood"
"It's a long way to the top if you want a sausage roll!" 😂
I think that is an Australian reference.
@@Yldcatz we used to throw in the pie n sausage roll
to the shop surely 😄
My hat's off to Brian Johnson for stepping in as lead singer and helping AC/DC becoming superstars, but I will always be team Bon Scott!

Agreed. I've always said that to get the full essence of AC/DC, you have to start at the beginning and work your way forward.
You could walk up to any known AC/DC fan and say "See me ride out of the sunset.." and they'll immediately say " On yer color t.v. screen!"
THANKS for doing BON SCOTT's songs first. drives me up the wall when reactors do Brian Johnson singing Bon's songs...
Love AC/DC and as a Scotsman I'm going to claim 50% of AC/DC. Great reaction!
I cannot wait for you to get around to some Nightwish, particularly live with Floor Jansen singing - 'Ghost Love Score' from their 2013 Wacken concert is a great place to start. They are going to blow your mind.

The Bon Scott years - They were a bit raw - Night Prowler my favorite track ( I sleep in the day ) 💣
I love Night Prowler! Super creepy!!
Night Prowler is tops & the greatest song they ever wrote Ride On, they only played that song once live after Bon died 🔥
It’s a long way was released on the album T.N.T in 1975 and was also part of the international high voltage in 1976. Their first album was Australian high voltage which was released in 1975, this album doesn’t have the song high voltage on it because that was also part of the T.N.T album
Bonn Scott has the permanent "the Cat who ate the Canary" smile ..
You MUST listen to Walk all over you, Touch to much, and If you want blood you got it, top 3 Bon Scott songs.
The Bagpipes are because Bon, Angus and Malcolm were all born and raised in Scotland. Bon was in a Scottish pipe band.
These were from AC/DC's 2nd Aussie album "T.N.T" in 1975... the original 'High voltage' was the 1st Aussie album, which was recorded with George Young on bass and Tony Currenti on drums in the studio... then drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Mark Evans joined AC/DC in '75 and were on the 2nd album.
AC/DC was signed internationally in '76, and they released a 'High voltage' album that compiled songs from the first 2 Aussie albums... Mark Evans was replaced by bassist Cliff Williams in 1977 after their 4th overall album.
Remember. Every country loves AC/DC. You'll just have to accept it.
AC/DC is almost like a universal band. More often than not, people like them, regardless of what their favorite music genre is.
Ac/dc was an awesome concert.
Well right off the bat you did it right by sticking to Bon Scott.
The "Flick Of The Switch" album has a song called "Bedlam In Belgium". That bedlam gig was the first time I saw AC/DC, back in October 1977... The concert got cut short because the band started way too late and there was no permit for making substancial noise after 10PM. Cops arrived, AC/DC didn't want to stop, copper pulled a gun on stage, lights on and we went home, still half deaf myself because of standing a few feet from the main left loudspeakers.
A couple of AC/DC songs that I haven't seen many reactions to are " big balls" (released on live wire album) & " ride on" it's one of their slower songs
Great reaction welcome to the world of AC⚡️DC .😀👍❤️✌️🌼

'Down Payment Blues ' 'Rock n Roll Singer' 'Squealer' are crimanally underated deep cuts that i really like taht i reccommend
They where Scottish by birth but grew up in Australia!
I truly enjoy your enthusiasm...!!! It's very refreshing to see someone really enjoy music. Great videos...!!! Looking forward for more.
"It's a long way to the SHOP if you want a sausage roll". Can also be replaced with "icy pole".

RIP Bon Scott, one of the coolest rock singers ever.
love seeing women listening to the great rock n roll I grew up on. The seventies were so great musically!
This was actually their second Australian album, however, first international release
You want energy, go for let there be Rock outstanding song
Angus and Malcolm Young and Bon Scott were all born in Scotland so no surprise with the bagpipes.
You are the best reactor on youtube, without a doubt
Spent my childhood in Australia, you have no idea how much I want a basic Australian sausage roll.....I miss them.
Love the video and full cut! Thanks Kira!
I love bagpipes! My ring tone was bagpipes at one time!
Totally awesome! I knew you'd love them. One of my greatest influences right there.
We want more, and it would be awesome if you did an entire album, luv.
Scottish born YES. But Aussies through and through. ACCA DACCA ⚡
First song from 1975. Acdc is and always be the greatest pure rock n roll band ever. Still rocking in 2021.
Phil Rudd is one of my top five favorite drummers. He's one of those drummers you don't notice it there, but you would definitely notice if he wasn't there.
Great to see you following your heritage. Acadaca!
Oh my gosh....I 've been a sub for awhile but I saw this...insta smile on my face !!!
You're great and awesome and super good reactor!!!! like a nuclear reactor lol !!!
keep it up :)
i used to do a radio show for rock, metal and punk and i called the show High Voltage and used the tune as the intro music ah, good times Respect & Peace
The bagpipes wake up the DNA from far away places and family.
This is actually from 1975's T'N'T album. The first 3 albums make up the worldwide version of High Voltage from 1976. The Albums which are different from Australia 1974 High Voltage, 1975 T'N'T, 1976 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Plus 1977's Let There Be Rock is 90% the same as everywhere else except one Lewd Song that was banned Crabsody In Blue which is only on the Australia Version.
Not just bagpipes, Bon is playing them!
Bon was scottish and learned how to play bagpipes when he was young and thought it would be fun to integrate bagpipes into a rock song. Try stay hungry from twisted sister if you like songs about a rock band trying to make it. Then the price by twisted sister which is a song about a band finally making it but their question is pretty much how to maintain that success and where they should go from there.
You get it!! Rock on...
You have a really nice singing voice actually!
I first heard AC/DC back in 1976 (I was 8), the song was “Jailbreak”, and I was hooked. Seen AC/DC live four times, each performance was brilliant, AC/DC are the best live rock band, period.
Malcolm (R.I.P), and his brother Angus, best guitar duo ever.
The singer Bon Scott and the guitarists Malcolm and Angus Young were Scottish
Bon Scots vocal hero was Alex Harvey from the Sensational Alex Harvey band you should check them out very underated band.
Evie Parts 1,2,3 - Stevie Wright -Australian Epic
The first concert I saw...1978....AC/DC with Cheap Trick as the opening band.
You have to catch the film clip for Long Way To The Top. The band are cruising along, performing on the back of a truck slowly making its way through Melbourne.
Incidentally, AC/DC picked up Bon Scott here in Adelaide in '74, after sacking Dave Evans. Bon Scott used to sing in Fraternity from 1971(ish)-1974, a prog band that moved to Adelaide in '71. From time to time, Fraternity still get a bit of airplay on Proud To Be Loud, a retro-focused metal show here in Adelaide. (This paragraph was supposed to be a bit "Adelaide:Represent", but I think I just 'Sperged out a bit).
If you want more Australian metal, you can't go past Mortal Sin. Their 2 80s albums are their best known, but there are a couple of post-hiatus albums from the 2000s, a live bootleg and I think an album from '91 that didn't go much anywhere. They were on the same label as Metallica in '89, so ended up touring with them that year. Grunge was still a few years away, and Mortal Sin's line-up didn't look so unstable yet, so they were being pushed as the next Metallica at the time. Then all of a sudden sales of thrash albums plummeted. Mayhemic Destruction (1986) is pretty dirty, production-wise, while Face of Despair (1989) is cleaned-up, from when Mortal Sin were fully on-board with Vertigo.
I think it was issue 4 of Hot Metal magazine (an old Australian metal mag) that came with a free flexi-disc with Mortal Sin's 'I Am Immortal' from Face of Despair on it. About a decade ago I knew vinyl collectors who were just giving them away as uncollectable, and now all of a sudden you can't find them anywhere!
One of the greatest rock bands of all time. Love seeing your reactions to AC/DC, Iron Maide, Motörhead and punk!
I like the fact that Bon and Brian are so different High Voltage was where I started and Its a Long Way and High Voltage are my favourites, wore the grooves out on the vinyl, the video for Long Way to The Top is fun (the band on a trailer driving down the road). Second favourite album (not necessarily good but fun), Def Leppard On Through The Night, it can be fun seeing the larval form of some bands also where I started with them
Glorious reaction!
This means more ACDC reactions yes?
You really need to watch the official video, just a very young band riding a truck through the streets playing this as people just stare. LOL. Another song by Bon Scott is Let there be rock. One reactor asked about Bon's smile "Why's the brother look like he's up to something with that smile?" My answer was "Because he was.... " Bon loved to have fun!
As for Bagpipes in Rock check out band called Slade a lot of their songs were credited to other bands in the States but they were the original and best.
It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll!
Toadfish Rebecchi from Neighbours said" it's a long way to the shop if you wanna sausage roll" that's the first time I heard it, don't know if that's where it originated
