![First Time Hearing AC/DC " Riff Raff " These Guys Can ROCK!!! [ Reaction ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qzdB9lYYl94/mqdefault.jpg)
I remember Angus being interviewed by some guy and he asked “ people think you are the best guitar player in the world, do you think it’s true?” Angus replied “ I’m not even the best guitar player in my family!” 😂
Angus could play lead guitar falling downstairs.
Hahah thats very true
AC/DC...legendary. Their whole is greater than the sum of their parts. Angus and Malcolm Young...absolute masters of the riff. RIP Bon and Malcolm.
Agreed, in this case less is more, and the sonic teamwork going on between the 2 of them is what makes them such a powerhouse.
@@danieltownsend8536 ruclips.net/video/KgqdGqduXvo/видео.html how about this one?Brian again ;)
Malcolm's rhythm in this song is so tight and and holds the mayhem together in a great package to allow that full on expression session from Angus
No matter bon or brian, the gretsch was the sound of acdc. Malcolm was genius..
And the Gretsch and Malcolm had the same height and weight.
Simply the greatest band of all time no one can reach them never ever 🙏Amen🤷🏻♂️
Finally someone reacting to Riff Raff live! More reactors should do this.....it is one rocks tightest and greatest live performances!
Agreed!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yeah, I'm fed up of re-watching the same Riff-Raff reactions lol.
Definitely love both. Bon Scott was my favorite. However, Brian Johnson did a great job of not only stepping into those shoes, but keeping the band going.
I still think of Bon Scott and the new guy 😊
I think it had more to do with squeezing into those jeans than stepping into those shoes. Could you hit those notes in sweatpants or shorts?
Malcolm's rhythm is epic!
Often overlooked (unfortunately), and integral to their sound!!!
Great video mate....! Not many people get in to the lesser known songs (bluesy inspired stuff).
@@michaelhutchins4205 yeah I hear you, I always thought this song was such a fantastic song, but it's somehow not one of their more popular songs.
ACDC is just so tight! They play together so damn well!
It’s crazy that Angus was only 18 when they started 1973 and he started to play when he was 5 and he have the school uniform cause his sister thought he look cute in it and in the start he Wore his own and saw the name on his sister’s sewing machine anyway love the reaction
Typical Australian pub rock in the 70's.
They are crazy tight as a band live. I don't think I have ever seen a bad this tight live.
Yeah man absolutely. Those guys really knew how to play together, I mean they sound incredible, just like the record, if not better! The mark of true musicianship
queen........
In the late 70's they often started with Riff Raff. One of my faves and crowds always loved it. Fantastic live. You can see Bon already trying to lift the crowd right out front of stage as Angus begins with that classic riff. Best Blue Collar Band ever. Saw them three times in Sydney and once in Paris and Nymegen. Always baffled me how they became more popular elsewhere in the world after Bons death, and less popular back home in Australia as we assumed it was all over for them, despite the success of the following album. Noone liked the new guy Brian.
Good vid nicely done. Its simple yet played so well. They were amazingly tight and so much power.
Skills honed on hundreds of small live gigs played to small crowds.
Good point!
Aussie Pub crowds in the 70's were a demanding lot. You either cut it or you were toast.@@danieltownsend8536
Apparently when Angus was young, the band would go to their house. Angus, still in his school uniform, would jump all around the house showing them what he could do. When he joined the band he kept the school uniform. He plays the guitar he does because his hands are so small. When Brian Johnson joined the band he was the tallest member, at like 5'3".
Just to clarify..................Angus Young thought his big brother, and his sister Margaret, were taking the piss when they first suggested, in the spring of 1974, that he might want to dress up as a schoolboy onstage.
Wow reaction to one of my favorite AC/DC songs! Awesome 👏
No way! One of my favorites as well, often overlooked!
Axel Rose did a fair job, much better and with much more respect than I could have imagined.
Angus is really one of the best. He’s indescribable. And he totally underrated. Even tho he’s considered one of the best. He’s up there with jimmy page.
Good stuff. Really liked your comments on Bon and Brian. Indeed, why can’t we love them both? Not very often has an original successful lead singer been replaced well. AC/DC had no choice and did well. That being said Bon is best! 😎
Agreed! Bon was an incredible front man. That said, without Brian we wouldn't have been blessed with the stunning Back In Black album 🙌 Nothing but greatness from these guys.
Both bands are amazing. I see your sides. Blues. Rock. But man. Angus just kills it either way.
Fitting that tribute to the rock gods is rendered by a middle finger to the heavens. How else?
Angus is my fav raw rock'n'roll guitar player of all time. I love that you started with one from the Bon Scott era.
The rhythm section... it's not what Malcolm plays, it's what he doesn't, but being bros, I'm sure him n Angus knew WTF without having to say it, RIP Malcolm🤘🤘🤘🤘
Dave Evans was AC/DC's 1st actual singer. He sung on 2 tracks before Bon Scott was in the band.
A man after my heart
There was a reason why he didnt make the final team , like the original bassist.
@@troystocker6179 Yeah AC/DC with Bon or Brian is fucking epic. AC/DC with Dave Evans hardly reaches par.
@@shidonmychest3574 I'm sort of an AC/DC superfan. I actually like the original version of "Can I sit Next to You", and "Rockin' in the Parlor" with Dave Evans, but it's still clear he can't hold a candle to either Bon or Brian.
@@Scumdrops420 I agree but when you listen to Dave Evan's version of "Can I sit next to you girl" compared to Bonn Scott's you know immediately who was best for the band lol
Angus Young.... Where the guitar teacher becomes the student.
Recognise!!
*MORE* AC/DC please😎
3 lead singers... first one was Dave Evans. Google "Can I sit next to you girl?"
You're absolutely right, I've got some listening to do!
3 Lead Singers which recorded with the band, but 5 ( including Dennis Laughlin & Axl Rose) which petformed with them
one of the best ever
Angus and Bon always knew where to go onstage to not run into each other. Well planned and structured.
Angus has to be the fittest person on any stage. He rarely stops moving.
Love this song. Always have.... And reactions plse.
I used to rock this live album (if you want blood..)on my red SONY walkman endlessly
That's incredible 🤘🏻😁
Everytime i have seen them (4) they bring the engery!!!
I want to see you run around the stage/room like Angus when you play his riffs while bobbing your head the whole time
Haha, there's no use in trying to imitate the master!! He never stops giving it 100%, every single show!
@@danieltownsend8536 I know he is incredible! Saw him in shows in the 80's and again in 2008 and his energy is always there no matter what his age! Do some more ACDC, I liked you video!
Dave Evans was the first vocalist but i think he only sang on their first ever single- can i sit next to you girl.
Of course Bon Scott sang it on the album
Fantastic performance. I am hearing Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" in there. I don't know which cam first but this is definitely better.
Oh definitely! Same key, same sort of Dominant blues thing! I believe Rock and Roll came first, about 7 years prior in 1971
I hear little things in AC/DC songs that remind me of other prior songs all the time. Like part of Mary Jane's Last Dance in The Furor just before the guitar solo. Maybe it got stuck in the back of a mind. On purpose or not it sounds good.
Riff raff is such a good song
Agreed, I think it's one of their top tracks!
The audio from this ended up being the "If You Want Blood, You've Got It" album. For those who didn't know.
GREETINGS . I AM A LATIN MUSICIAN , PLAY BASS AND GUITAR A LITTLE AND PLAYED WITH MANY BANDS IN MY YOUTH AND WHEN IT CAME TO PLAY AN AC / DC SONG , WHE HAD TO PRACTICE INDIVIDUALY AT HOME OR IT WOULD BE LOSE OF TIME AT REHEARSAL
Tightest sound in Rock-'n'-Roll period. Angus, Malcolm, Cliff telepathic
Also listen to Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo with Edgar Winter and Rick Deringer to see the love.
Poor Dave Evens. Everyone forget you 😭😭😭
Timing is everything with these guys..this was a tight band. If you don't put this together right it just doesn't work.
Bon was their second singer. Dave Evans was their first.
Hence, why you teach! I get it!
You must feel very inadequate trying to play Angus. 70’s boys rocked really hard.
I do not feel inadequate, thank you 🤘🏻🤣
@@danieltownsend8536 .My apologies, sorry. No negativity whatsoever in describing your own talents.
@@canadiandeplorable2087 lol no worries friend, it was kinda hilarious. I think I understand your meaning 🤘🏻🤣
Ever hear those who cannot (TEACH)
Caesar was a good man. There’s a parallel universe where he was not murdered.
“If it doesn’t swing its not good enough. George Young. Malcom and angus’ older brother
Its actually D and G, not Dsus4. They play it that way, the bass stays on D but the chords change from D to G
You're right man, looking back at Angus I see him playing that G chord there! Nice catch! D root in the bass with a G in the guitar. Ultimately making the harmony as a whole
G/D! 🤘🏻
I would like to see you play it move round your house like Angus !
How could anybody like Thunderstruck over this?
Love your passion for what some would call easy to play rock riffs for beginners to start out on...... But! playing so tight and precise is a hell of a lot harder than it sounds. Angus Young in his prime, playing so accurately with wonderful vibrato in his solos while moving all over the stage in his own unique high energy way...........
WOW!! Such a high level visual performance throughout an entire gig is something we have not seen before or since from any other rock lead guitarist.
I remember been devastated when I heard the news of Bon Scott's death. Thank goodness the band kept their momentum going and made their big breakthrough with Brian Johnson. But I don't think they could have pulled it off if something terrible had happened like a car crash that left them having to try and replace a one off lead guitar player and entertainer like Angus.
Thank you for this beautiful comment, so well said!
Highway to Hell was their big breakthrough. It was what got America's attention. Bon spent 5 gruelling years touring relentlessly with the band. Bon paid all the dues, don't you think? Your comment reads like Brian was the catalyst that sparked success and I, respectfully, disagree.
@@cathyaldridge4550 100% agree with you. What I meant to imply was that the band could not have continued building upon the level of success already achieved with Bon if they had not had Angus to feature in the visual spotlight. As for BIB. It has Bon's songwriting fingerprints all over it and nobody will ever convince me otherwise. I actually own a couple of early 70's singles and albums by Geordie. When I listen to any of them they have the total opposite affect of listening to any 70's AC/DC album, ie, I turn Geordie down and then usually turn it off before the end of the song. Bon is my Rock'n'Roll hero.
Ac/Dc have had 3 lead singers actually , Dave Evans was the actual original singer on their debut single
Have you ever heard, Caught with your pants down, from the Ballbreaker album? It has a really catchy riff too!
Bon knew Brian prior to his death so had requested to other band members that if anything should ever happen to him that they get Brian Johnson to replace him.
God bless Bon Scott and Malcolm and Angus Young. Phil Rudd with the backbeat. Amazing band!!!!!
You’d have a great reaction to Acacia Ridge. Pretty sure both of their guitarists use Kiesel too.
That would be fun, ill definitely have to consider that!
You should do a video reaction on 'Whats next to the Moon' from Powerage.
Don’t forget Axl Rose also sang for AC/DC
That's true! As much as I love Axl and GnR, his tour with ACDC wasn't my favorite personally. But that's just my opinion, I know a lot of people really enjoyed those shows, which is fantastic!
He's also an a-hole.
So AC⚡️DC are doing another tour, I wish it was just the 70s AC⚡️DC with a few tracks from the new album.
My favourite Angus solo would have to be squealer , the 2nd half of the song is just him going off.
Yes !. Love squealer & a terrific solo as u say. Don't hear it mentioned much
@@peterdavies4623
Yeah highly underrated man, I love it.
I also think the song - up to my neck in you, is underrated also.
Check out the live version - one of the best songs Brian has sang from Bons 👍🏻
@@SirSSau Yes great track again, they did play it S.U.L tour, saw them Wembley u.k 2009, last time, nothing from Powerage despite 9 Bon tracks. But no complaints was awesome
@@peterdavies4623
Damn man, they didn’t play - up to my neck in you ay? The one I said to check out is from Munich the same (S.U.L) tour.
I haven’t seen AC⚡️DC since The Razors Edge Tour here in Melbourne 🇦🇺 91’ I think it was, I want first night then had to go to the last night too.
Like you say - no complaints.
Oh I just re read your comment you said - they DID play, my mistake.
@@SirSSau No I was.saying they included it on the S.u.l tour , as u knew, def not when I saw them in 09 , nothing off Powerage.
Would you please do AC/DC Beating around the bush
I'm even not the best guitarist in the band! Angus
No one digs in like this line up of AC/DC no one. Bon & the band knew Angus would steal the show every night but 1st he had to take it.
Great video........But Dave Evans was the original singer......the single was Rockin in the Palour. Give the man from Wales, a little credit!!
Want to play like that then you better sell your soul to the Devil down at the crossroads
They're almost not worth analyzing because it's party music. There's the old joke that they keep releasing the same album, but if the joke continues to be funny...
*When your (3) jokes are funnier than every other joke.
Imagine angus with bog catchers on
The front man is actually Angus brv
If you wish to hear a young guitar virtuoso, try Tina S . She does incredible covers of technically difficult solos from Van Halen, Gary Moore, Steve Vie, Dragon Force and Beethoven etc.
This AC/DC song sounds mostly like Rock'n'Roll from Led Zeppelin !!!
Yeah that's a good point, it's in the same key, follows the same changes, and shares a lot of the same notes!
Quite simply the best christian rock band of all time! Whole Lotta Rosie is one of my favorites!
I know what I like & Ive loved this since it was released in oz but I don't need to see someone else enjoying it to know it's great . I play guitar aswell but don't understand why people need / want reaction videos. That just me tho
5:08 Interesting....Bon Scott is the first singer 😮
& Dave Evans is in what position? 🤨
456 subscribers, that's already a lot for a "guitar teacher" 😐
2 great versions the celebration of blues and soul, a better quality than the el cambo but both are great..tin Pan alley SRV with Johnny Copeland also pretty awesome...
Tin Pan Alley is a real feeler! ... a bit long but sooo great!
I agree...
Bad boy boogie 1985 live rockdrome pleas...
ruclips.net/video/WFdN8Aeu_xA/видео.html
Dave Evans 1st singer
Actually Dave Evans was the first singer
Critiquing Angus?.....lol....funny.
what no SG Gibson?
1 point, Bon Scott is NOT the original singer of AC/DC... is the 2nd one... flirst one is Dave Evans if u search on youtube dave evans AC/DC u can se one of the first(if not the frist) live show of AC/DC
Hey Teach Get Add Blockers DUH
Was at this gig in 78 the video doesn't do it justice. Don't over analyse it it's just pure rock'n'roll nuff said...
Here's led zeppelin with jimi pages best playing live at Madison square garden
ruclips.net/video/ZQgYn23Xvck/видео.html
Thanks Christopher!
Can you react to Stevie ray Vaughn?
Bon and Brian aren't coke and pepsi. They're coke and New Coke. Once Bon's notebook was all used up, AC/DC was no more for all practical purposes.
His power is coming from Satan lol
What a wuzz
Thanks for posting! If you have a minute, we uploaded an Eddie Van Halen tribute video. As fellow music fans, we'd love if you'd take a listen. It's on our channel. Don't be too tough on us :)
These guys were poor, working class rockers, who spent years on the Aussie pub circuit. If a band didn't impress those crowds, they would throw beer at you, or leave the gig. Angus used to come from school to the bands jam sessions.
They are all self taught.
Sorry boy !!!!
AC / DC's first singer is named Dave , Bon Scott is the 2nd singer in 1974......
Millennial boy, you need more rock. Hahaha!!!!!
Too fast mate! Slow it down a bit!
You're playing that intro part so badly, you rip all the rhythm off it. That was not good.
Thank you my friend!
Your guitar is a shame.
Your not even close, slow down mate! You call yourself a guitar teacher even when your listening to the real thing it sounds nothing like them, slow down your just thrashing the song mate bloody hell? They aren't a thrash metal band there rock n roll just calm down a bit ok! That's where the sound is, if you where my teacher I'd be very disappointed as you are too fast!
It's all good and well to show off your speed but you have to do it right. The internet is full of people that do AC/DC wrong, slow it down and get the groove of rock n roll!
Why don't you talk about all the repetition in his lead work......... boring .....
Just my opinion but a guitar without its head is beyond ugly. That kiesel is one butt ugly guitar. Just my taste of course.
