I was lucky enough to see AC/DC twice with Bon Scott, I became a guitar player because of Angus Young and he is still to this day one of my biggest influences...no disrespect to Brian Johnson but AC/DC will always be Bon Scott to me...RIP Bon Scott & Malcom Young
Saw them pn Manchester uk 1979 . YOU AINT SEEN BON YOU NEVER SAW THEM ,
The Old Cleveland Brown Stadium in 79 with Journey, Ted Nugent and Aerosmith. Played side one of If you want Blood, You Got It. . . If memory serves correct.
I never saw Bon but I saw ACDC with Brian and Angus is also my guitar god and always has been! GOD BLESS BON AND MALCOLM and all the rest of the band!
Day on the green Oakland California 79 There’s vids of that show I never thought I’d see that show again
Each to his own mate, Micheal Bolton’s stint with Van Halen was my favorite version but I get crap about it from all my larrikin bogan blokes.
But I hear ya sometimes the original is the only version that moves me.
Take Lynyrd Skynyrd. The new guy is good, but Lyn just had it man, he was the og.! No dis to AC/DC but Lynyrd released his 1st recording in the early 70’s. He’s the 1st real Aussie bluesman! 💯 Slash also stole the top hat from him!!!
Was air guitaring with my buddy on my shoulders 6 inches from Angus on Bon's shoulders rocking out in a bar in Milwaukee. If I didn't live it I wouldn't believe it. RIP Bon .
''Death by misadventure'' That's what his wiki page says . Can you believe that? As tragic as his death was, how the UK categorizes it is about as rock n roll as it can get imo.
Anyways , great story , thx for sharing that and I hope all is well with ya 😉
Fanx fine words here In norteher countries we have tre months SUMMER and then the snow come I live In Cöbenhagen there and Sweden I see lots of real life there I see lots of great band's and suede Girls say's thouse suede boy's just talk but finnish boy's do it not talkig great good fine time in friday I think I say too hard to my bird but I have än other bird this is not so good than other videous 🇫🇮🏴🤪😜free Scotland jee
I had to decide between a pie and a can of coke for 60 cents or a lunchtime concert from some rock band called ac/dc at GRANVILLE BOYS HIGH in 1975 .
I chose the concert in the school gymnasium. What a concert it was.
The problem was that there was a funeral at the church across the road from the school' gymnasium .
As Bon scott was singing HIGH VOLTAGE ROCK'N' ROLL full blast, the principle came in and told the band to lower the volume.
As soon as the principle left the gym, the band crancked it up again.
What a lunchtime concert it was , I went hungry that lunchtime but I saw history in the making .
Love it

Thanks Lance .
I just wish those , simple ,innocent days could be relived ❤️
Epic story!
So fine writes what you think of the ACDC you knows what to write fine 😂😮
What an awesome story.
A lot of people say they can't tell the difference between Bon Scott and Brian Johnson, however Bon's voice is so unique that you know it when you here it. One of the greatest voices in Rock n Roll.
I totally agree mate,I don't understand how people can't tell the difference, yes Bon has a unique voice but so does Brian,both are unique and you can't mistake who it is when you hear either of them sing
have never once heard anyone say that.
I doubt very much that anyone has EVER said "they can't tell the difference between Bon Scott and Brian Johnson"...except for people who hate Rock n Roll!!
I can’t imagine who would’ve ever said that, they sound nothing alike.
Yep
Powerage is my fav AC/DC album, followed by Let There Be Rock, then Highway To Hell. Up To My Neck In You, Kicked In the Teeth, Overdosed and Bad Boy Boogie along with Walk All Over You, Beating Around The Bush and Night Prowler shows you that Bon was a masterclass lyricist. RIP Bon Scott 🤘👹🤘
Powerage is my favorite as well, but it's Down Payment Blues that sells it for me.
Same favorite albums for me as well.
Don’t forget “Rock n Roll singer”…. Great lyrics.
You can stick your 9-5 living and your collar and your tie.
You can stick your moral standards coz it’s all a dirty lie.
Stick you golden handshake,
Stick your silly rules
And all the other shit, that they teach the kids in school…. Coz I ain’t no fool!
Gonna be a Rock n Roll singer!
Gonna be a Rock n Roll star!….. Yes I are…!
@@DJB99 🤘Hell yeah! ,,, And I've got the Devil in my blood, telling me what to do ... and I'm all ears!
Bon was a kick-ass wordsmith, master at the double entendre. The Best in the box! Very underrated. Definitely better than Johnson, by leaps and bounds! Never get tired of Bon era stuff to this day.RIP Bon Scott?!!🤘
Beatin around the bush and kicked in the teeth were just pure electrical, and bad boy boogie and whole lotta rosie
I was lucky to see Bon in one of his last performances with the band in Nov 79.
His passing was a terrible shock to us back then as i recall.
Same here ... seen him as a 14 Year young , at CountDown here in Holland in Summer of 79 .... THEN Bon Scott passed on my 15th Birthday (19th Feb.) the next Year .... So evry Year on my Bday I have my own AC/DC day , so to speak. Only Playing the ,,Old,, songs ...
You guys are lucky to see Bon ! That's amazing.
Im born in the late 80s if it wasnt for my step dad having all there c.ds in the early 2000s id had no idea of there legendary legacy
Was it really, though? Lifestyle like that....it usually doesn't end too well.
bon was a great front man
@@SpaceCattttt . After I read your comment I farted loudly!!!
I play back in black in my head and envision Bon Scott singing on those tracks. That would have been EPIC SOUNDING!!!!!
R.I.P. Bon Scott
I swear now is the real golden age of RUclips. Back when it first came out it was like the Wild West but now with all these cool interesting factual videos I’m in hog heaven. Great job!
I've been in several bands over the decades and when I'm a new member and start playing walk all over you without fail at least one person smiles and starts playing or singing along. It is also very satisfying to meet younger musicians who were born in the 80's, and 90's who love Bon.
Bon was very lovable 💕
Beside your poor command of the English language, you are spot on🥴.
Bon Scott era Ac/Dc is everything a dangerous rock band should be
"Death by misadventure" .
NOT...young Bros is the spirit of ACDC!!
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Bon Scott still the best smile in Rock and Roll
Especially before he got his teeth fixed. Now that is rocknroll
I know who ya are
i like all the members of ac/dc, past and present but i loved malcolm. when he had to leave the band and later when he passed away it broke my heart. i know everyone says bon scott made the band, but without angus and malcolm there would be no ac/dc. long live the best rock band in the world i say.
He was one of a kind. Had he not passed away they would have been even bigger. They missed his songwriting skills as well as his voice and stage presence.
Bigger? They were as big as it gets when i was in high school in the 80's!
A well covered story about a true ROCK N ROLL legend never to be forgotten 👍🎸
LAME as can be!!
Bon Scott was the man , a great front man , was lucky enough to have seen them live a dozen times , huge stage presence..a true bad boy . Rip.
Saw them 3x in 1979 with Bon.
Bon was sutch a sensitive guy. Sutch a beautiful soul. Rest in peace Mate.
Bon knew Angus was gunna steal the show every night, he wasn't just gunna give it up Angus had to take it & that was when the magic happened.
Bon still has half of AC/DC’s, best, most popular songs. Brian is a legend, but he was their 2nd choice, don’t get that twisted.
Something many do not understand with the so-called Bon vs Brian, -Example in the 80's many were saying ac/dc sound the same with every album.
That never happened when Bon was their singer & writer, & who was very likely the influence for Back in Black as well.
Their music with Johnson became too similar. Bons music had variety & even told a story on occasions
Angus and Bon were an unstoppable force. I can’t think of another case where the guitarist makes the band, but that’s how it was with Angus, and Bon was just the icing on the cake that blew AC/DC into the stratosphere.. the schoolboy and the larrikin, both wildly talented, just caught the imagination of Australian kids across the board.
Led Zeppelin but i get what you mean
@@Milk.consumer_ nope. It was John Bonham who made Zep..
I love AC/DC -- had to chuckle at the intro calling Sydney a "remote" city, though. Over 5 million population doesn't strike me as remote.
Remote is a measure of location, and has nothing to do with population
All I know is Bon and Malcolm are out there somewhere together saying rock on mates...🤟
I think I was in 7th grade in the late seventies.. laying awake in my bed listening to WPYX 106 I heard them for the first time. It was Problem Child and I have been a life long fan since.
BON SCOTT may be physically dead, BUT HE STILL LIVES ON in his MUSIC from AC/DC and in AUSTRALIAN ROCK MUSIC
Forged in Scotland /grins
Long live Bon. Excellent and down to earth documentary.
I remember being introduced to their music from the Highway to Hell album as a young 13 y/o. I was hooked and listened to their previous albums, going backwards from there. Then Back in Black came out. As far as Bon, he was irreplaceable, but Brian came as close as anybody could. It sucks that i
I didn't have any friends that had a car, so i never got to see them.
There's been a lot of documentyrs on ACDC....but it's about time a MOVIE about the boys of how they Poweraged to r' n ' r stardom.....
An AC/DC movie in this political climate? They’d have make the band multiracial, diverse sexualities, and change all the lyrics. No. Leave
AC/DC alone.
Grew up on nirvana, guns, pearl jam etc, but now im listening to ac/dc, wow Im in love!! Talk about pure and perfect rock n roll to this day
1971 I went to a show at a local theater and on the bill was a band from Australia that totally rocked the house and were funny and everyone loved them. I expected them to be big but , after that night I never heard from Daddy Cool again...until the internet and I found out they were pretty popular down under. And in the latter 70s Angels were on my play list big time as well.
Seen the angels live in Bunbury with the screaming jets singer it was a great show at the small amphitheatre next to the bus station almost as good as when I seen acdc live
Loved this doc! Been my favorite band for 45 years but my favorite is the Bon era! If You Want Blood is the best live album of all time! It captures the raw power and shear magic of the band. Every Bon Scott articulation and every bite and vibrato of Angus’ SG is pure perfection. Listening to them these days, especially the Bon Scott records, actually brings me to tears because they’ve meant so much to me over the decades. Thank you for posting this amazing documentary!
The Youngs stayed a couple of streets away from us in Cranhill in Glasgow when they were kids. We were gonnae emigrate to Australia too back then, but my mum backed out because she thought she’d never see her 56 yr old mother again…my granny lived until she was *95!*
Shit acdc will be around as long as there is electric current going through Angus. Kiss folded up and left town years back, and who can blame them , second most successful live act ever never to Michael Jackson . Only if kiss wasn't about money And more about the music it wouldve been interesting to see how well they could've done . But still acdc with motorhead a close second were where the punks
and the metalheads joined for a good fukn Time
He was an amazing talent and the band was the perfect fit They rocked and he was a cool dude. I still loved his music and never really got over his voice being replaced .ACDC was never the same to me after Bon died seemed commercial and the sound without his voice to me was never the same RIP
It's only because THEIR STORY is and always will BE amazing!!! LONG LIVE BON!!!! LONG LIVE AC/DC!!!!
As I’m old I was lucky enough to see them on the “Lock Up You Daughters” tour in my home town in 1976. It was remarkable night and anyone who saw them knew they would be great, even though no-one had heard of them. I think Sounds music paper and Geoff Barton and the like sponsored it. Marvellous.
Deepest respeckt from Norway man 🇧🇻👊🇧🇻
I wish a Mark Evans (bass) was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Good call !
Why was he not ? He is actually eligible as long as he played for 25 years and continued doing gigs.
Agree..I met him once...good bloke.
Rip Malcolm,bon and Vince Lovegrove
Thanks for the music
Absolutely great documentary. My very first album was '' Let there be rock''. Great tribute.
Yeah, so absolutely great that it doesn't even have one second of AC/DC music in it. Great documentary.. Sure.
@@laserluver1 probably couldn’t get the rights to use the music…… hate when that happens….
@@laserluver1 and no music would have been better than the generic sounding shit they did use.
High ⚡Voltage Is My Favorite Album Of All Time 😁❤✌!!!
Bonn’s death is up there with the Kennedy Assassination, the death of Princess Di, or dare I say changing the flavor of the original Coca-Cola. It was a tremendous and momentous occasion in the annals of history.🍺🎤
Always has been my favorite band, especially with bon scott, what a Wildman on stage miss bon and malcolm
superb documentary and a fitting tribute to the legend that is bon scott and the band AC/DC, one of the truly great rock n roll bands
1. Let there be rock 2. Dirty Deeds 3. High voltage 4. Highway to hell 5. 74 Jailbreak 6. If you want blood 7. Powerage. My fav Bon albums list.
I saw them in Karlsruhe West Germany back in 1984 at Monsters of Rock. The best live show band ever.
Best Band ever! Great documentary!
AC/DC has the best sounding albums, with alot of punch, in your face !!💣💥💣💥💣💥
Well done, great show, thanks.
Saw them in1978 with bon great covert. Rocked world series of rock.
I was born in 79 . My dad gave me my first album on vinyl and it was ACDC.
Yeah , Bon was the ultimate for
AC/DC. I love all his albums and one,the only one with Johnson is back in black. Bon wrote that album. Can you imagine how it would have sounded with Bon? Awe man ! I can only imagine.
Bon did not write Back in Black
What about the Razors Edge?
@@florettehope6145 The band may have said he didn't, but other people on the inside have said that he did; you can't prove that he didn't.
Have a drink on me
Looking forward to part 2...
Sad tha Malcolm, Angus or Cliff were not a part of this. ACDC will forever be my favorite band, especially the early albums of Bon's up to Fly on the Wall are the music of my life.
There's a book called razors edge by Mark Evans(acdc bass player)..bloody good read
Malcom must really love Angus to allow him to be the famous focal point of the band.
Bon Scott brought AC/DC to the pinnacle. Brian Johnson did a great job of keeping them there. But it was Bon's sacrifice that got them there.
But young Bros is the soul of ACDC
@@maximilianogabriel9982 without bon you would never of heard of AC-DC.. they would of never made it past the pubs of Australia otherwise
Bon was freakin' awesome! RIP
Everytime Dave tells the story of HOW he left the band, HIs story changes over the years
ACDC IS KNOWN FOR FACT TO TELL TALL TAILS, MIXED WITH OUTRIGHT LIES... ACDC'S LEGACY IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST LITTLE Lying 🤥 Band EVER !!
I don't care for him at all. He has an over inflated viewpoint of himself and his importance when it comes to AC/DC.
@@shockinghonesty3971 im with ya i dont care for this guy either
@@shockinghonesty3971 Whenever he does stuff here in the UK. Original lead singer of ACDC is posted everywhere near the gig. It is not done by the venue but his contract
Changes , ACDC THEMSELVES DO THE SAME THING , THERE BACK STORY IS COMPLETELY FABRICATED , POWERAGE IS ACDC'S FIRST ALBUM. ANY OTHER ALBUM THEY CLAIM BEFORE IT , IS A FAKED PRODUCTION DATE, I KNOW OF 4 ALBUMS AT LEAST. BON ACTUALLY GOT HIS SONGS FROM A 14 YEAR OLD KID OVER 30+ SONGS 25 BEST OF THE BEST OF ACDC THE DATE BON RECIEVED THE SONGS IS MAY 22-23 1979 THAT DATE IS THE DEFINING MOMENT FOR ACDC.
THE ALBUM BACK IN BLACK IS ACTUALLY BON SCOTT'S LAST BIG JOKE ON BRIAN JOHNSON, BRIAN JOHNSON DIDN'T write anything on Back in Black.
Back in Black is written by a 14 year old kid, the album is named after the color of his Big Black Balls, ( Back in Black I hit the sack) after a swing accident in a creek. The song is sung from the prospective of his Balls. When Brian sings I'm Back in Black I'm Back in Black, What came Back Black ? It's the kids Balls !!
Bon was about to create his own front band for ACDC called Bon Fire & actually Open for himself then Do his part 4 ACDC & then Brian Johnson would Finnish up .
Yes. ACDC IS COVERING UP THE TRUTH BY PUTTING OUT A FAKE BACKSTORY & PUT OUT FAKE PUBLICATION DATES ON ALBUMS BEFORE POWERAGE,
THE KID TOUGHT BON HOW TO USE IDENTIFIERS & THEY USED THEM IN THE SONGS , CASE IN POINT, BRIAN JOHNSON FALCELY CLAIMS TO HAVE WRITTEN, YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG , WHEN IN FACT THE KID TITLED IT, & WROTE THE FIRST HALF BON FINNISHED IT UP USING DOUBLE TIME AS HIS IDENTIFIER (The Name of his girlfriends Horse) & that's not all !! ACDC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ALL THE IDENTIFIERS ARE SO WHEN THEY MAKE STUFF UP THEY CREATE A FAKE BACKSTORY TO TRY TO COVER IT ALL UP... BUT THEY LIE & FORGET WHAT THEY SAY.
THERE'S SO MUCH MISSINFORMATION ACDC HAS PUT OUT IT AINT EVEN FUNNY...
HOW DO I KNOW ALL THIS ?
IM THAT KID !!
MY NAME IS STEVE & IM THE REAL GHOSTWRITER OF ACDC.
GOT A SERIOUS QUESTION,?
ASK I'll tell you the TRUTH.
I KNOW MORE ABOUT MY SONGS THAN ANYONE INCLUDING ACDC !!
WHY ? HOW ?
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WRITE THE SONGS.... I DID.
What a perfect description for this guy to say "You can actually hear Bon grinning during some of the lyrics" - perfect..he was more than just a voice - just a one of a kind character.
POWERAGE,Bon Scott era acdc made me pick up a guitar back in the eighties and I am still plugging along at 59. Rock on brothers and sisters!
Aussie born in '65 I grew up with AC/DC watching Countdown and listening to albums and the radio. They were just great. That 'Jailbreak' video still sticks in my mind. When Bon died I really took it to heart and thought that like Zeppelin they'd fold. Then, less than a year later came the second best-selling album ever only behind Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'.
I love when interviewers treat them like they're inferior ... If it wasn't for acdc we'd all be like them
Powerage to me was/is AC DC's best album and then, Let There Be Rock.
Good upload
A nice, intimate and interesting documentary into such an epic band. Fortunately I've had a lifetime of listening to them and know all the songs, but if someone who knew nothing of the band watched this, they would still be none the wiser about what the hell they sound like! Why none of their songs in the documentary??
May have been a copyright thing.
Which is why it should not have been titled an official documentary!! (Ed: Oh I see the 'Officia l' has been removed from the title!!)
Fantastic historical of AC/DC. Amplified to 11 on the amp, volume level.
I was a teenager in the 70s but don't listen to classic rock from then, just don't like much of it, but ACDC is one of few exceptions. Listened to High Voltage yesterday, their records never sound dated because they were doing their own thing regardless of trends or whatever producers were shaping in any particular era.
Robert John "Mutt" Lange (born 11 November 1948) is a South African record producer and songwriter.
Schooldays one of my faves
I accepted Brian because Bon chose him to succeed him.
Lucky Brian!
I remember when Bon passed. I was in junior high school, and knew nothing of AC/DC. There were girls crying in the hallway when I was walking to home room. I asked a buddy what was going on, and he told me about Bon. I remember thinking a I wish I knew more about Bon and the band, but I was still pretty young and was just starting to learn about Rock music.
1:00:12 Bon NEVER HAD A BEER GUT!
yeah, what the hell was she talking about? Very weird and kind of shitty documentary.
I was shaking my head at her comment, that was strange.
As Angus said he git to be the star he allways wanted to be.
RIP.
Those three albums are the best👍💥
The best rock band ever! Love me some AC/DC! Love live Bon and Malcom!
I had seen ac/dc 5 times back in the 80 s they are one of the best rock bands
Outstanding
A beer gut? Wtf She's clueless
I discovered AC DC in 1980 and have been a fan ever since. Not overly complicated music but has a hard driving beat that moves things along nicely.
I know!!..I just find it weird someone in their 20s talking like they know what that era in the 70s was like..
I don't know what she was looking at but Bon was definitely not ugly or over weight.
Well Done! The Young Brothers as a duo, etc. Were integral to each othrr's sounds. They needed each other, and helped
Each other in no other way. They poloshed each other to perfection. Phill Rudd and Mark rounded eack othther perfectly.. Bon and Brian proved the grouped status was not the critival factot. Brian was a critical factord
I know the guy at the end wasn't insulting Bon when he said he wasn't the most technical singer but he actually was an extremely technical singer, I challenge anyone to manipulate their voice for an entire show the way Bon did and always sound exactly like the album, not many vocalists if any can do what Bon did. Bon had one of the most original voices in Rock history I easily put him up their with Freddy Mercury, Johnny Cash, or BB King!
Johnny Young from young talent time
He learned from Mutt that he could get even better 😏
he was not a technical singer. didn't have a big range like Geoff Tate or something. he played to his strengths and he had a unique voice and charisma in spades.
This is an unauthorized film made in 2005. It is actually titled "AC/DC: Then There Was Rock - Life Before Brian", not "Let There Be Rock" which was made in 1980.
Excellent Documentary. Bon Scott & AC/DC will live on forever. Bon was definitly one of a kind and a MASTER at being a Rock God! I can still see his cheekiness every time i hear him singing.
I can't stand watching a documentary on a band when they don't play one sound bite of music from that band! Makes me start to forget what bands documentary I'm watching
I played a heap of Nrl games, back in the back, say early 70's to mid 80's. In my formative years, I trained around the Croyden, Burwood and Concord area, kicking goals which was my best known attribute. I got to listen/witness the early days of ACDC at Concord Scout Hall, where I believe where they practised a lot. Many times on a Saturday, for some reason.
even though it's now 1/1/2024 right now as commenting, this is the 50th anniversary of AC/DC performing there first concert on 12/31/1973 at the checkers club at Sydney, what an adventure for AC/DC well mostly Angus Young, because he's the only Original member to survive and is still part of the band to this day.
I went to the same primary school north freo as bon did but different years…great video…cheers
I’ve got issues with the extended focus on Evans, then the passive/aggressive slight on Johnson... Bon was extraordinary, so is Brian Johnson... everybody loved Bon and we love Johnson too.
Malcolm was the heart of the band & my favorite member, next is Bon. Had tickets to see them in ‘09 but a ice storm shut down the state, show went on ugh,,,Major Disappointment. Love the band!!
All ACDC's albums were there best albums to America till Malcom got sick then America could feel the weight Angus and the boys felt like a bullet though 😕 the chest God bless the young family we here in America 🇺🇸 🙏 ❤️ love them like there our oun family 👪 💙
Liked the Australia times reporting. I would have liked to hear more about The musician's too. ~Brian.
Bon Scott was the best and always will be.
Man fn love ac dc man we blasted i mean blasted over and over ac dc music partied our southern rocknroller asses off love ac dc allways will rock on ac dc
Saw them in a little hall in ALLENTOWN PA. USA, called AG Hall in 1977ish with UFO. I became a fan from that time on!
Reason why I love rock.
AC/DC Let there be rock !!
if you transpose the chords down a whole step they`re the outro to freebird..just sayin..i love all things aussie
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock & roll......
I love Brian as well as bon. Both men have a unique sound that fits AC/DC’s music PERFECT! My favorite band of all time, and rap music is my favorite music lol
Having read a certain rockers' biography, the band Fraternity sounds quite a bit like a NY band called Flow from around the same time...with similar results.
Dave Evans reminds me of a really smart Nathan Explosion
Back in 60's Easybeats 'Friday on my mind' I think there is a connection with AC/DC. I am 74 now but think that may be true.
I only listen to Bon Scott ACDC albums. Might just be me but he was the man.
I didn't know that Malcolm was in the Velvet Underground! Or that they were an Australian band! 😂
😄
" I've never fallen off my drum set ,I never have and I never will again!" Isn't that kind of an admission that he had . "I never will 'again '"?
