#ACDC #BackInBlack #albumreview
The last time I saw my mother alive, was at my 7th birthday in 1984. She gave me Back in Black on a cassette tape an told me it was herr favorite band. Needless to say, I friggin love this record!
Sorry for your loss, that's a very young age to lose your mother.
The first concert I ever went to was Kiss on their “Rock and Roll Over” tour. They had this unknown little band called AC/DC as their opening act! They were MUCH BETTER than Kiss, even without all the special effects and theatrics! They blew me away!!! I’ll never forget forget Angus carrying Bon on his back, going through the audience! Correction: it was Bon carrying Angus on his back!
I think the last part was the other way around lol but agreed!
Angus must be FAR stronger than he appears. ;)
It was bon who carried Angus I know cause I was there
@@kennethjahn5993 You’re exactly right. Don’t know why I said that. Angus couldn’t carry any one around and still play guitar!!
Excellent point. KISS is probably The Best marketed band of all time, and they're a Blast In Concert. However, they aren't near the musician's ACDC is. Gene (adequate musician, but Genius Marketer)Simmons himself has always taunted the great show's they put on, but not necessarily the actual band itself is. Behind closed doors GS would be the 1st to agree with us, you might not even have to close the doors......
Bon was such a fox. So much charisma you felt it through the screen. My favorite band of all time. Both Bon and Brian eras
I think Bon was better overall but both are simply fantastic
His voice was much more recognizable imo
Did that guy really say that Maiden paved the way for Priest ? That's not the way I remember it. We were all spinning Judas Priest records before Iron Maiden had their first album out.
Correct. Priest were about years before maiden.
Exactly. Some of these jokers have no clue.
Definitely. I heard Priest from my brother. Didnt see Iron Maiden until MTV.
Judas priest has been around since 1969 and put their first album out in 1974 it is called rocka Rolla and acdc began December 31st 1973.
He didn't say that he said iron maiden brought a new audience to priest
My first ever bought album was "Powerage" 1978... This is probably one of the most energizing bands the human history has ever known...
One of my favorites... Overdose is incredible
That is my fav ACDC album, so good!
It may have been mine as well, though it would have been around '85 😁
@@upStomp I think I got into it around '83!
It was also ACDC'S FIRST ALBUM
ALL OTHERS BEFORE ARE FAKE PUBLICATION DATES.
The fact they came in and made that album just months after losing Bon is crazy but the best medicine for there pain and Brian fit the singer role perfectly and was a solid song writer obviously !!! They've been my favorite band from pre-teen till this day I can't wait to see or hear what's next ..
Think about what you just said. They made BIB just months after losing Bon. How? Bon wrote the lyrics. He was in the studio helping write the music. Angus says this.
Brian Johnson wasn't even in the picture. Bon was alive!!!
@@spooge33 no he didn’t and no he wasn’t in the studio helping write the music. Bon had nothing to do with the writing of Back in Black.
@@mrjw6701 Guess Angus was wrong. Damn him!!!!
@@spooge33 I've heard some of the lyrics on the album was stuff Bon had wrote down and I think they had done some song riffs with Bon singing but I'm not here to debate with you about it....
@@spooge33 Bon called into the studio one afternoon to see how the boys were doing. Malcolm and Angus were working on a few ideas. Malcolm asked Bon to play drums while they worked out the guitar parts. That was all Bon’s involvement was, he died a week later. Angus confirmed this in an interview last year.
I was born in 79 and the first album on vinyl my dad gave me was ACDC . Will always love this band.
AC/DC Is My All-Time Favorite Band...
Highway To Hell Will Always Be My Favorite Album From Them...
My favorite song? Gone shooting. Powerage is fantastic record, really rough, and the best record cover ot the band, with Highway to hell. My favorite band. I was 10 when i first heard Touch too much on the radio. A shock when saw Angus on tv. I'm 55 now, and they're still my fav.❤ from France.
Back in Black was the first cassette tape I ever bought in my life. I have owned a number of Back in Black cassettes along with the LP and then the CD.
Man oh man I would love to hear those songs from Back In Black with Bon’s vocal on them!! Bonus tracks from heaven👍😎
When I was a kid learning to play guitar. I thought I wanted to be like Angus Young. It wasn't until I actually learned quite a bit before I knew it was really Malcolm who was playing my favorite riffs.
Brilliant rock n roll band. Something wrong if you don't like AC DC. ❤
Rock would be way different with Bon still around.
Agreed
Agreed totally!
Definitely one of the greatest bands of all times...
I still have a Rock and roll Ain't Noise Pollution pin. I have had it since the early 80s. It was stuck in the dash of my Jeep for over 15 years!
Bon Scott mattered a lot No one ever was so real on a mic 🎤
They are the epitome of less is more. 3 chords, the truth and a cloud of dust. Rock and roll royalty
@@ChrisClaybern Not fair! Many AC/DC songs have 4 or more chords!!!
Brian gave the best tribute to Bonnie ever. If not for bon that wouldn't be as effective Great stuff an mutt knew bons legend will never die
It's the original ACDC Freo boys only we know that is the magic that was Life in WA Fremantle to this day. When Bon lived it and the Young Boys my Aunty's in the 70s youst to hang out with the boys before they were even heard of and went to other parts of OZ Fremantle WA Perth were Bon final resting place is that were it started Noongars know.Moodich much respect we are proud to know this fact.peace out ACDC fan's but it's the truth as far as my elders told me they was always loud and they wasn't happy about it at the time earlier 70s Who would I've known that they would become the biggest Rocking Roll band of all time in my opinion.👌 True yarn.
The song night prowler was not written about Richard Ramirez as his crimes were committed a full 6 years after the song was recorded and when he was captured, by the public, he wasn't wearing an acdc tee shirt, it was a Jack Daniels one.
You’ve done very well to make a documentary out of this. The only person connected to the band is their studio engineer for the album. Malcolm Dome was a respected journalist, who at least knew Bon socially. But using an AC/DC tribute band as your main commentators? Genius. They should know what the band had to do, because they play the songs. But they didn’t write them!
The Bon era was better but Brians amazing too
Yes! Then the lyrics went to shit.
@@spooge33 Agreed. Let There Be Rock, Powerage, Highway To Hell, Back in Black, and For Those About To Rock are a perfect 5 album run!
Malcom wrote many of the lyrics so that's insulting to his talent and memory.
@@gideonharris1493 No he didnt. Bon Scott wrote the lyrics to their 70s stuff, Brian wrote most from Back In Black until Blow Up Your Video. Malcolm wrote riffs that were mindblowingly amazing and he was a super talented guitarist, though not a great lyricist.
@@shewolfcub3 I was not referring to pre Brian at all! Correct if I'm wrong, I understand you wrote the lyrics post Bon were shit! Well, not all those song lyrics were always written purely by Brian. Some were from Mal. Ofcourse Bon was the lyricist when he was with us!
Iron man 2 brought it out into the forefront of rock Shoot To Thrill is one of the greatest rock songs ever
Shoot to Thrill is the first song I blew a set of speakers playing it.
You should get better speakers mate.
Led Zeppelin lost their drummer and had nothing else to give the loyal fans, and just quit. AC/DC looses its lead singer, and gives its loyal fans Back n Black. When faced with adversity a true rock band rises to the occasion. AC/ DC is GOAT!!
Exactly as Sabbath did with Dio when they let Ozzy go...
Let’s not compare. Don’t even dare suggest that Zeppelin is selfish for not just replacing John. They don’t owe you anything.
Different band, different dynamic, different personalities, different circumstances.
And as has been pointed out already, nobody owes you shit.
AC/DC had already written Back in Black before their lead singer died so it was just a question of getting a suitable singer to create the Album. Some would say that AC/DC lost their way post Back in Black album.
Nonsense. Led Zeppelin knew they could never replace Bonham, who was (and still is) the greatest rock drummer who has ever lived. He made Zeppelin's sound every bit as much as Plant, Jones, and Page. AC/DC knew they could keep going without missing a step if they found another singer who could match them... and for one album at least, they did.
When I was a kid I had no idea there were 2 different singers.
Bon was so incredible, Ive watched the live performances they have recorded of him and theyre all amazing, he really brought the energy and charisma!
I hear a lot of people say Brian sounds just like Bon. Honestly, maybe I just have a more keen ear, I dunno, but I don't think they sound anything alike. Both are amazing rock n roll singers and I don't have a favorite really, but I don't understand how anyone can hear one and then the other and think they sound the same. Bon has a drier voice, more mid range and less scream. Brian's vocals are like a pissed off banshee, lots of high end and demonic squealing.
Brian had a higher range and sang with a lot more vocal fry/grit in his voice than Bon. Even by 83 he was struggling to hit the notes he’d done on record. And his voice is f***ed now- no power, except at the bottom end, and no range. I’ve heard innumerable clips of Bon live and he never sounded like he couldn’t hit his notes. Sometimes he had to scream a bit to get them, but he sang within his range. Then again, we never got the chance to hear Bon sing in his 60s, and with his lifestyle, God only knows what his voice would’ve sounded like!
"ask NOT for whom the bell tolls....For it tolls for thee !"
great doc! but at 1:03 you have the engineer giving lyrics to Shook Me while discussing Back In Black
Bon Scott has Highway to Hell and Brian Johnson has Hell's Bells their both equally famous and great songs and no one can argue that one in my view .
Scot recorded Hells Bells, acdc rerecorded to their SHAME!!!
@@donaldcarpenter5328 urban myth
@@donaldcarpenter5328 Negative. It's been universally agreed that the Youngs didn't have the music for that when Bon died
Every Bon album was good
@@shewolfcub3 Agreed
Many times when your fiinal cuts go into editing and mix ,they add beefer sounds or studio musicians to add what the engineer and producers think what might add to your work. They are not always right. You may not know until you hear the actual vinyl at that time. Then you may have to learn how to play the album as pressed to play live.
I have the original Album Back n Black still in the plastic cover
That's the tour I saw them on in Dallas Texas Reunion Arena.
The Only Band AC/DC Legendry
😅 the picture on the RUclips ad for this video has Bon Scott on it, not Brian.
The best music often comes at the start, that is where the energy comes from and that is what you are hearing in this album. Strangely their best. I heard Angus thinks so. For me, Back in Black and Dirty Deeds (Australian version), iconic examples of both singers.
Incredible
Only album that was played for an entire year.
I love Bon. He was the one I first heard in 1977. But Hells Bells might be their best song.
Ac /dc will always be forever
Too many Women & Too may pills is actually a Bon Scott line after I told Bon keep it in the Hospital... Hence it was actually UCLA PICU where we wrote 30 + Songs before my Surgery , also where You Shook Me all Night Long title came from a nurse shaking me awake from a surgery...
R/Steve
Ghostwriter of ACDC
GHOST FOR GOOD REASION !!
Back in Black. Brian Johnson vocals helped make this a masterpiece.
Thumbnail. Bon Scott.
Bon was better overall but Brians good too
Great video! Best Band EVER!
Pre ac/dc Johnson sounds like Fogerty.
AC/DC? I like 'em both. I had Powerage on green vinyl and put it on ebay. It went gold. I was raised by Mothers though
Wow. What could have been... The guitar guy summed it up best. Back in Black IS a rebirth of AC/DC. I lived those years too, and recall hearing Brian Johnson in a radio interview during the late eighties or early nineties. "How in hell were we supposed to follow that up?!" But you know what? They did! FTATR and Flick of the Switch ARE more Back in Black! Really, try it and see! Those three albums make a nice matching set. I wore out multiple cassette copies of those too. It's the fans, not the bands, that are fickle. Get a little bit of something good, and five minutes later it's on to the next "new" thing.
HTH was just not enough Bon to satisfy indefinitely (Yes, I love all the early material, but HTH is on a production level that shames the rest) What could have been?! Regardless, AC/DC have proven my seventh grade music teacher VERY WRONG!
Best AC/DC songs
Hells Bells
Cold Hearted Man
She's Got Balls
Down Payment Blues
Touch Too Much
Soulstripper
Ain't Got a Hold On Me
COD
Jailbreak
Whole Lotta Rosie
Sin City
Who Made Who
Live Wire
I had a Collie Dog, when she heard this song it was on...
There is allot more Bon Scott in Back in Black than ACDC admits
Too !! Seriously,
I'll have to cover it in The Book,
I'm writing.... get ready 4 it..
Has anyone ever identified this random fan in Cleveland that recommended Brian as a replacement singer.
Different band. AC/DC never changed there sound, entire career. Good as they were, no comparison to Zeppelin
I had a hand me down 8 track of dirty deeds...a proper upbringing!
My collie dog was before I got into Gun's & Roses... She would wake me up. She would shove her nose in my face. She would wake me up so early. Just so I could get to work...
The record company inserted the devil's horns on Angus for the cover.
These fucking esteemed experts didn't know that.?
I'm sorry mates.
I just kind of feel like AC/DC is mine .
Been with them since I found them .
All the way down on the Texas coast.
I'm proud of all of them.
Mals vision.
This is how it's done, kiddies.
Brian is a singing genius but let's be real most of those songs came from Bon Scott think about it Back in Black is an extension of the way Bon wrote songs all about sex and women and was a master at it if you look at all the albums after this was one maybe 2 songs on an album was sexual because they lost their identity on how to make that magic without their un touched lyrical legend Bon lets see those about to rock one good song flick of the switch blow up your video fly on the wall who made who which was a mixed album song was awesome but see a pattern here those are Brian's songs he couldn't match Bons mastery of lyrics and they couldn't figure it out until Razos Edge came out then they realized Brian isn't Bon and it became clear he never would be and made peace with it and continued their legendary careers as the best rock band ever
Your right, bon Wrote all the lyrics for all the Brian Johnson albums...Good Man 🙄
And alwaysI thought B in B was about my life not Bons....🤦
Not the best by any means. Such a judgment is ignorant to a huge amount of rock bands. Great band? Yes. Great album? Yes. Was Highway To Help better? No. Were Let There Be Rock and Powerage better. To me yes.
Nice. all Bon era albums were good really

You list Zeppelin, Bad Company and Free as the old legends that were still around? Paul Rogers fan are we? Free broke up for good in 1973. They were not still around. REO Speedwagon, a hard rock hero band? I only lasted 1 minutes into the vdo. Christ, what a sh**show.
Who are you referring to?
You obviously never heard REO in early 70s.
Is Amplified not the absolute best on RUclips or what?
At least Bon wasn't 27 when he went
There's plenty to suggest Bon didn't die from alcohol alone, also to suggest he wrote MOST of the lyrics on BIB
Click bait.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Wright He was never a drugs counsellor, he was a drug addict addicted to heroin.. WTF are you on about? 09:19
There is NO other band like AC/DC in the Rock 'N Roll world and NEVER will there be another one again. They were simply exceptional, very underrated very often and simply amazingly talented, brilliant and innovative.
They just play like a machine in concert they just keep going they get stronger as the show goes it's unreal they are one of the best for sure
Highway to Hell put them on the map because of the iconic title track but I believe as a whole that the Powerage album is a far superior album and is sadly to this day one of the most underrated albums ever created. I think it is the so to speak Back in Black of the Bon Scott era. It's loaded with gems and sprinkled with semi precious (but still desirable) stones. I've always liked the sound of Brian's voice better (Scott was superior in writing lyrics) but Scott's voice was the perfect fit for the Powerage album and nobody can match him on it. I do believe Scotts fingerprints are on the BIB album but whether it's true or not Johnson was the unparalleled fit to sing that album. Sadly, it's so close to the time that the world will speak of AC/DC in past tense. I really stress the sadly part because I've never idolized any celebrity including any that make up AC/DC but when Malcom died along with myself being 40 and enjoying their music for the past 35 of those years, I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel like a part of my life/me has died as well. Don't let anyone bullshit you. Getting old sucks.
What on earth are you babbling about?
It was my fingers that did that I swear. Plus being the recipient of second hand pot smoke didn't help lol.
You are correct about Bons finger prints on BIB. His lyrics are surely in "You Shook Me All Night Long".
My fav Johnson album "Flick of the Switch"
Fav Bon album "If you want Blood"
My favourite album is - Let there be Rock.
Favourite songs - Shoot to thrill, up to my neck in you, Squealer (Favourite Angus solo), and Ride On - just to name a few 😉
AC/DC had very humble beginnings in the Sydney scene. No T-shirts, no brand recognition, they just blew people off the stage and rocked harder than everyone else.
Powerage and Back In Black have always been my favorite AC/DC albums.
All of a sudden it became fashionable to say that Powerage is your "favourite" AC/DC album. You're a poser.
I got sad seeing Bon Scott. He was such a great dude and honest rocker! Lost him way to early. He was just reaching his peak when we lost him!
Agreed, Powerage is their magnum opus and they didnt have a single bad album with Bon
Even without trying his lifestyle talking movement behaviour is seriousy rocker man already..
AC/DC... the greatest little pub rock band in the world. You can imagine them playing to 10 people in a back street pub, or a million people at a festival... and you would still get the same performance from them. They're simply the best.
That was one of the greatest, truest discription of this band!
Well said!!!!
Richard Ramirez was called Night Prowler, but this was a full 5 years after the song of the same name was recorded. Unless they have some psychic ability the two are unrelated. Ramirez did wear an AC DC hat during some of his crimes, but wasn't wearing it when he was arrested.
He was called the Night stalker.
You're right that this documentary has got that totally wrong, and the Night STALKER case was 5 years after they recorded HTH, but you have partially absorbed their mistake about the name.
I'm a good judge of the energy & music that rock bands have created & performed in history, intently listening to their sound and amplified vocals & instruments, wether recorded in a studio or live on stage..the bottom line is, in the world of rock bands comparing to each other, since the late 50s.. there is no other band that could find or produce the raunchy, mean, energetic rock sound that ACDC had with 5 band members, lighting the world on fire with their paramount blast of explosive energy. The powerful rythyms & lead guitar sounds of the Young brothers, their thumping base, the scratchy tenor voices of both Bon & Brian in their tenures, and the beat of their drums in tempo & their hellish raunchy lyrics. The Best! There is no other band!
"Hells bells" its one of those tracks that send the chills up your spine. And you wish you could sing it like Johnson does.
These Pommies have no idea. Yes it is shaking your leg at the end of a piss, but....
"Shake a leg" in Australia means "Hurry up" In other words "finish what you're doing and let's go"
"C'mon, shake a leg"
As an American teen the riff on "Back in Black" just grabbed me. I knew little about the band & phenomenal frontman/singer Bon Scott (RIH). Brian Johnson is a great frontman
I like how Brian puts everything he has into each song.
He seems on the point of collapse dozens of times.
Each song.
There's a great video of them doing live rehearsal for flick of the switch and doing guns for hire over and over and I never realised until I seen it just how much effort and power Brian Johnson put into his singing.
I loved Bon, but then also loved Brian too! One of the very few bands that lost their Frontman, but still continued on successfully! Never felt that Bon was being disrespected, but felt Bon was looking down saying, “Well done Mates”!
1:26:05 this guy is clueless. Brian Johnson said in an interview that this was the first song he ever wrote with/for AC⚡️DC. So no! None of it was Bon Scott’s lyrics. I love how anyone can claim they’re an “expert” on other people’s lives. What a joke. Oh. Well. This guy said he saw it ona sheet of paper. Well. Stop the presses. Where is this sheet of paper with his hand writing. See. This is not even circumstantial evidence. This is just he said she said.
Never got into post Bon Scott era AC/DC. For me Let there be Rock and POWERAGE were THE albums, never could stand Brians vocals.
Back in Black was with Brian, but he is missing in the thumbnail, I love Bon, but it seems disrespectful to Brian
Zzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzz
Highway to hell is the best…hands down,!!! Still waiting to be de-thrown
One of them. Powerage and Let There Be Rock are better thhhhho
Squealer and problem child the best
Back in Black is theirs and Hard Rock's greatest album, period...
I could watch Acca Dacca forever. Such an entertaining band. My heart is with Bon because that is when I became a diehard fan. He was a bloody hero to me in all of his okka rawness. BUT I'm sick of people putting Brian down. You can't change history.
If you could, my God I would have taken Bon home that night, been in the pool with Brian Jones, called the police on the arsehole who does not deserve a name, for having a gun and kicked John's murderer in the teensy balls before he could cowardly pull out his gun at the entrance of the Dakota, ... If only I could time travel.
Anyway, unfair to compare Bon and Brian. You can't compare. Let's just be grateful we had them both.
Can we please?
I like them probably more than the next person Angus was the reason i picked up guitar but Zep was the biggest best most versatile rock band to date.
"Welease .......................................BWIAN " !!!!!!!
The narrator is completely wrong about "Night Prowler". That song was not written about the serial killer, who was apparently an AC/DC fan but his crimes were committed 5 years AFTER Highway To Hell was released. So unless he was the world's first time travelling murderer it would have been impossible for the band to have based that song on his activities.
Also, Malcolm Dome has an odd way of interpreting "Shake A Leg". The most common meaning of the phrase in England during that period (especially amongst working class people like Brian) was to "get down and have a good time" or "let loose and have a party". Alternately it was used to mean "hurry up", as in "Shake a leg, we're going to be late". And just by looking at the song's lyrics, Dome's theory about shaking a certain other part of the body makes no sense within the context of the song.
Shake a leg means “get up and go / move”
I seen the movie maximum overdrive when I was about 12 and loved that movie. But without the soundtrack I'm not sure I would have had the same response for it.
Love 'em, Smokin' RnR as well as excellent musicianship. As great a live show as there is! That said, so's The Who in their prime! As well as Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, and Lynyrd Skynyrd! Kick ass RnR as well as top flight musicianship. What I'm saying is it's Apples2Oranges at that level whoever's sound is your preference. I saw and loved em all, but I think The Who's "my" all time favorite, but 1 of the buddy's that attended the show's with me could have a a different opinion, and he wouldn't be wrong either. Hope that makes sense.
I had always thought the song Back In Black was literally about coming home from Bon's funeral dressed in a black suit...and then moving forward as a band.
You can Thank Stevie wright and the Easybeats for ac dc 😂😂😂. If it wasn't for them there would be no ac dc .
It took Stevie for his coming up with the words to the songs and george for the music 😢. Also thank Stevie wright for his performance on stage. vanda and young though up ac dc. They were his brothers 😢😢😢. And bon scott for his coping every one of Stevie Wright's moves. Scott had no talent.
Just watch him perform the song.
Build me up Buttercup with the Valentine's.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Flick of the Switch is another ass kicker
Seen Metallica and WASP in St.Loius at Reflections in I'm thinking 83 or 84 I was 14 changed my whole drumming style then I found Slayer and love all the bands in this biography horns up
Oops wrong biography lol seen AC DC on fly on the wall in Dallas or Ft.worth can't remember lol
Can't play lead with heavy gauge strings....ever heard of SRV?🤘🎸
I play lead with the Heaviest Guage Strings the Law allows. Because I also play the Heaviest Metal music that is allowed by the Law
@@godetonter4764 Fun fact, most heavy metal guitarists use 8-9s!
ACDC is the best there has ever been. What is rock all about you ask? I offer Hells bells! The best rock song ever written.
You know it
Even though both eras of AC/DC sound pretty much the same, they are pretty different at the same time. The first few albums are a bit different but all have that signature sound the band started with, and for that I admire them a lot!
Except for the engineer, these guys are weird. I'm going to make a video and it's going to be my speculation on why Neil Armstrong used his left foot to step onto the moon's surface. The video will be a riveting 45 mins.
Except the engineer
GOOFBALLS is the word I came up with.
"In AmericER in the 1970's...." Why do the Brits add that annoying "ER" sound to words ending with the letter "a"?! Linda becomes LindER, Alpha becomes AlphER, Beta becomes BetER. For a country that invented English, they sure can't speak it! And before someone says, "But AC/DC was an Australian band", I'm talking about the narrator, who's clearly British.
I agree. I also notice that when a word doesn't have an A sound in it, they put it in anyway to replace the R sound. we say WATER they say WATA. We say BUTTER they pronounce words ending in ER with the A sound. Yet we spell the words the same.
