Now can you imagine what the old folks home will sound like in 20-30 years from now. AC/DC blasting down the hallways and elderly people sitting wheelchairs head banging. Lol
Hell no I ain't gonna be sitting in my wheelchair headbanging. I am gonna mount a 454 flathead to my chair with a 5 speed hurst shifter kit and 36" whitewalls and see if I can get my chair up to 200mph while headbanging. lol
"It looks like I'm in the middle of an earthquake." That's funny. This concert registered on Richter scales measuring for earthquakes. The synchronized jumping was enough to actually shake the ground. That's an epic concert.
Any concert held at that stadium thousands go. The River Plate stadium is the biggest stadium in Argentina . On top of that , River Plate is my home ⚽️ team. I've seen many concerts & games there. In 2018 football ⚽️ lovers were all watching TV or at the stadium watching the final game of the Copa Libertadores against our biggest rival that has never happened in history. We played against Boca jr. Check out the highlights 🏆
@@barrydunn682 Yeah, that's fine. But this was a ticket attendance. Sold out. 3 day in a row. In the biggest soccer stadium in Argentina, a non-english speaking country, singing ALL their songs.
Back in '09, these guys were between their mid 50's to their early 60's, with Angus being the baby at (I believe) 54! This is how your parents and grandparents rock! 😎🤘
Rock has many genres and many many different sounds associated with it. If I was trying to explain to someone who'd never listened to music what rock music was. Of all the bands I could choose from I'd play them an AC/DC track. Now I disagree that AC/DC is the greatest rock band of all time but they have the sound that best explains rock as a whole. And they are among my favorite bands.
Angus young could play the guitar while falling down stairs! AC/DC IS KINGS OF ROCK! I've been a fan for more than 3 decades! Bonus info: They have a younger brother from another mother in the shape of Airbourne!
Airbourne represent!! I was introduced to them last year, and I love them! Their music is awesome!! I was thrilled to find them & their attitude to music really makes me feel hopeful for the future of Aussie rock :) Also a huge AC\DC fan, having grown up on the music for decades.
Brian Johnson is now 76 - the same age as many of his Fans , try to imagine sitting in an Elderly Care Home and during the breakfast buffet they listen to ACDC
It's even crazier when you learn that this is the 2nd lead singer, the original lead Bon Scott, passed away in 1980. Was hard to imagine someone taking over and matching his vocal style.

Brian will never be Bon, who was the best, their early stuff is the best
Agree, just saying he matched the style of the band. I can't think of even one singer who could have allowed them to continue on like they have. Their continued success after Bon Scott is a testament to that. Bon was more than a singer, he was a consummate rock frontman.
3 месяца назад+1
@pigglepower7794 agree, but the old stuff with Bon is still the best, saw them many times before and with Brian but still only listen to the Bon era.
They just announced a world tour starting in April of 2024 . it kicks off in Europe , they announced the dates 2 days ago and all European dates have already sold out. ALL our stadiums......
Angus and Brian will be there. The rhythm guitar that Malcom played will be covered by their nephew. Cliff, the bass player and Phil, the drummer, are not announced. I don’t know who’s in charge. But I’ll be there, first concert of the tour, May 17th. With 70.000 people in a football stadium. And yes, they took 185€ for a ticket, but that’s sadly normal after COVID hit the industry very hard. Adele charged 400€ for a ticket, so AC/DC is still not so greedy. And the complete tour was sold out in half an hour!
They have been fighting for 53 years and they’re out on tour right now. They are the best rock ‘n’ roll group in the world. They been plain since 1973.
Highway to Hell Is about a road that went to a bar in Australia. It went down to the bottom of a hill. There were alot of wrecks at the bottom and people were killed. They nicknamed it the Highway to Hell. It's in one of the books
7:02 Funny you mention being in an earthquake... During this concert, the earthquake sensors miles from the venue actually were going off because of the crowd jumping during the show.
You've got to see them at the grammys 2015. They were amazing! Also yes they're still performing. I've got tickets to see them at Wembley Stadium, July 3rd, capacity 92,000. Can't wait! 🎸⚡️🤟😮
AC/DC was an amazing show. 3plus hours of 100 percent energy. Lots of running around interaction with the crowd, sweating like roasted hogs and loving every minute of it. They never phoned it in. They were a group that LOVED what they did and put out the best every performance. How Brian Johnson could sustain that singing style for that long boggles the mind. Bon Scott, their original lead singer was also phenominal, but sadly drank himself to death.
AC/DC was always great live as were many of the bands from this era. There was no auto tune the bands had to have talent to make it. So glad I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. The music was incredible.
Brian Johnson (born 5 October 1947) is an English singer and songwriter. In 1980, after the death of Bon Scott, he became the third lead singer of the Australian rock band AC/DC.
Welcome to Australia BP this is prob the longest still running band besides queen. Australia's best band of all time and forever will be. RIP BON SCOTT the original OG vocalist
Brian Johnson stated in an interview that he never warms up his voice. "I use to walk in backstage and hear these other singers doing scales, etc. to warm up before going onstage. I never understood it... I just go out and whatever comes out, comes out"
The song 'Whole Lotta Rosie' is about 5 minutes or so on press. Live it turns into a 23 minute song with a 17 minute guitar solo. Angus Young used to walk around the arena on the shoulders of a security guard while playing this solo. Incredible performance every single time they step on stage.
You were commenting in the video about how singer's voices change as they get older. When Brian Johnson was asked something about how he maintained vocal health his reply was something along the lines of whiskey and cigarettes.
At River Plate, 'Highway to Hell' was the 1st encore song, the 18th song sung overall in the concert that given night. With that voice. With that volume. With that much enthusiasm and constant motion. At 62 years old After having been doing it for 29 years. Just one more reason AC/DC are ROCK GODS
AC/DC Live At River Plate was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in December 2009. AC/DC played to a sold-out crowd of nearly 200,000 (more than three times as many as their previous sold-out show).
These giys are professionals. There is no substitute for pros. "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" theme by the Danish National Orchestra Symphony is an instrumental that will drive this point home and leave you amazed.
In the late 70’s early 80’s Australian bands honed their live performance skills touring the country playing in small pub venues ! To be a part of that was next level … we just lived for weekends
There is a video of a huge crowd singing bohemian rhapsody , I think they were waiting for a Green Day concert to start..that one is awesome , so many people jumping at the same time
My favorite joke around this track is: "The fact there is a Highway to Hell and Stairway to Heaven states something about expected traffic numbers". An oldie but Goody. As for Brian's singing, yeah he still sounds like this. But they need a lot of breaks between songs (at least in the last concert I saw them live at).
Brian was in his mid '60's when this was recorded. This was in front of the greatest hard rock mosh pit on earth. God love AC/DC and God rest Malcolm Young. 🙋♂
I saw these guys 3 times in the last 30 years. Brian Johnson's voice has always sound this good even today. Prior to him, Bon Scott was the singer until his death and also had a great voice. There's a reason why these guys are Australia's most successful Rock band. The song has nothing to do with Hell or the Devil. It was written by Bon Scott and it was about the long hours of driving in Australia in blazing heat when they started to tour early on in their career and being in this little van all of them and their instruments. It was so hot that it felt like driving down an highway to Hell.
The Canning Highway in Western Australia, is nicknamed The Highway to Hell, where Bon Scott lived. There are vids on RUclips where thousands go to play and listen to AC/DC Music. Many say song is about AC/DC travelling for hours on the Canning Highway to Fremantle Western Australia. Others say its origin has a different meaning. I’m positive I watched a vid about them talking about the Highway and what a hell of a long treacherous highway it is.
I stood in line for ACDC tickets in MN, in 2001, below zero weather - 3 months pregnant! Wtf??? Seems like an eternity ago- before massive use of cell phones- praying they don't sell out before you get to the ticket booth lol. Saw them live at 5 months pregnant, and to this day, it is one of the best live concerts I've ever been to. Angus's feet literally, do not stop moving the entire show! The cannons were there, and awesome! My son, (now 22) knows he is automatically inducted into the ACDC fan club because he was "there" with me during the concert lol
1984, AC/DC, Mötley crue and van Halen put up an epic minifestival in Stockholm. That was the first time I came in contact with them, and still loving them. And I tjink they just fimished a south ametica tour
I can remember waaaaaay back when they played in a stadium in Melbourne, Victoria here in Oz and they were SO LOUD they were fined for noise pollution and told to turn it down!! lol These guys make me PROUD to be an Aussie ( 58 year old Nana here ) :D ❤🔥
I was lucky to be there, this guys are the real shit. It's funny that you mention earthquakes, because after the show the stadium was banned for shows because of damages caused by vibrations.
You really need to check out the best use of bagpipes in rock in their song “It’s a Long Way to the Top If You Want to Rock and Roll” featuring the original lead singer Bon Scott before he died
oh and btw the crowd size was close to 200,000 and my first concert pilgrimage for a band it was insane, and it felt like an earthquake and the crowd looks wild but they were so caring for this dude with what they presumed was cerebral palsy:) so i felt totally safe jumping up and down.
AC/DC are one of the best live bands ever - their sound is like the studio, and they have played together so long that all their sound drops and entries are spot on timing.
The original lead singer Bon Scott died at age 33. The original whisky voice of legends. I really didn’t know at the time if they could ever replace him, But they did with great success. The love/hate..it reminds me of replacing other famous lead singers. How much hate did Sammy Hagar get when he replaced David Lee Roth?
Bon knew Brian Johnson, personally and told his bandmates that IF anything should ever happen to him, they should look into recruiting him. Bon chose his replacement.
@@wesalker3479 awe…that’s great insight..sad..maybe Bon knew one day his drinking would get the best of him. I was in High School at the time. I remember the boys in total disbelief. They really took it hard.
@@blurpledragon2779 oh I agree, but it was just a frenzy on campus.. I remember the boys striking a revolt against VH, the arguments..lol.. almost some fights..what crazy times it was as an observer. It was the common thread of “ can the original ever be replaced” . I’m sure many other bands throughout history went through this with unexpected deaths, firings etc. but this was at a very critical time period in my life when emotions are at an all time hormonal high.
Had the privilege to see them in Oakland back in July of 1978, Day on the Green #3. They shared the stage with Aerosmith, Van Haylen, Foreigner, Pat Traverse. It was an all day concert and it was the bomb.
Don’t forget that the original of this song was done by Bon Scott and this is Brian Johnson performing live. Also, it makes me giggle when you say that you’re Christian and your mom would not like this. I grew up the same way. Went to Catholic school for 12 years from first grade to my senior year. I would blast AC/DC from my room and my parents would always talk about “that devil music“ and how I’d’go to hell’ for listening. my parents were also very big football fans. Somehow their music tastes would change when the very familiar bells would toll, signaling the beginning of AC/DC’s “Hells Bells“ that most stadiums started to incorporate during the games to gin up the crowds. They sure didn’t care that it was “devil’s music“ then! Lol.
If memory serves me correct, Highway to Hell is about being in a rock band touring. You definitely have to check out the old stuff, Try Dog Eat Dog. One of my favorites.
Hey Black P Love the reactions!!!You just watched what true Rockstar's are in their 60's still rock star's LOL Just keeping you posted they are touring starting in MAY in Germany as of 4/10/2024 they have only announced the European leg of the tour but we expect the USA leg of the tour to be announced soon we all hope. I promise you there are 2 bands you will never be disappointed of seeing LIVE AC/DC and KISS the shows are amazing I know there are others too but out the 50+ concerts I have been too they are at the top along with Pantera!!!!!! I went to AC/DC Hollywood in 1977 and went to AC/DC in last appearance in 2016 in Sunrise with AXL fronting the band the music stills sound exactly the same!!!!!
The original singer passed away. He was a fantastic front man. They hit the jack pot with Brian, as he was able to carry the AC/DC sound while not mimicking the original singer. Brian sounds the same as 1980. He nearly retired claiming voice issues, but we fans haven't noticed much change.
This isn't the early days of the band, it is the halfway point They started in 1973. Highway to Hell was the last AC/DC album made by the previous singer Bon Scott R.I.P.
AC/DC has two main eras. The Bon Scott era gave the feeling of " you don't mess with us because we're crazy" . The Brian Johnson era gives the feeling of "you don't mess with us because we're bad"
The press played on the devil theme and the boys went with it. The story that makes the most sense is Bon Scott was living in WA and to get to the pub/town he had to go down a steep road with a bad corner which the locals called hell corner.Hence going down to the town with my friends, no stop signs etc. Now go to Bon Scott's time with ACDC, start with it's A Long Way to the top if you want to rock and roll. Australia had the best pub rock scene on the planet in the 70's and 80's
Dude not too shabby for a bunch of old dudes!!!!! AC/DC played 3 straight nights at River Plate in Dec 2009 to a total of 220,000+ ppl so says their official web site so that’s 73,000+ a night!!!!! Brian Johnson the lead singer was 63, Angus Young the lead guitarist was 54 and the rest of the boys were in their 50’s!!! Legendary is all I can say. These Argentina fans are the best on the planet and they appreciate good hard driving rock and roll. Just look at all the different ages in the crowd. It transcends generations. Unbelievable!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍🥳🥳😎😎🍸
Got to see them up in Montreal (was living in VT at the time) in 1988. They kicked a$$!! Brian was 62 in 2009. They still make new music and are set to tour again.

100,000 people jumping all 3 nights caused small earthquakes to be felt.
Now can you imagine what the old folks home will sound like in 20-30 years from now. AC/DC blasting down the hallways and elderly people sitting wheelchairs head banging. Lol
I hope so! : )
Hey, I resemble that remark. Have to tell you, the party’s already started! 😂😂😂
Cant wait :D
I'll definitely do that. 🤘🤘
Hell no I ain't gonna be sitting in my wheelchair headbanging. I am gonna mount a 454 flathead to my chair with a 5 speed hurst shifter kit and 36" whitewalls and see if I can get my chair up to 200mph while headbanging. lol
"It looks like I'm in the middle of an earthquake." That's funny. This concert registered on Richter scales measuring for earthquakes. The synchronized jumping was enough to actually shake the ground. That's an epic concert.
Ac/Dc Shake your foundations- !985.
Right? They out did ZZ Top!
They never lip sinked. They were purely live performers .True musicians.
This is from their concert in River Plate. Argentina. There were 3 shows and nearly 200K attended.
Any concert held at that stadium thousands go. The River Plate stadium is the biggest stadium in Argentina . On top of that , River Plate is my home ⚽️ team. I've seen many concerts & games there. In 2018 football ⚽️ lovers were all watching TV or at the stadium watching the final game of the Copa Libertadores against our biggest rival that has never happened in history. We played against Boca jr. Check out the highlights 🏆
Last 2 times I saw ac/dc in Melbourne, 2010 and 2015, 80000 at each show was wild. But this River Plate concert is absolutely insane. What a crowd😀😀
They played the 2003 SARS concert in Toronto before approx. 420,000 fans.
@@barrydunn682 Yeah, that's fine. But this was a ticket attendance. Sold out. 3 day in a row. In the biggest soccer stadium in Argentina, a non-english speaking country, singing ALL their songs.
@@eduardoARsanchez1266 Hmm... do you think that SARS was somehow free (unticketed)? It was to raise money for victims of the SARS disease.
Yes, that s AC/DC and Argentina😊❤a perfect combination
Back in '09, these guys were between their mid 50's to their early 60's, with Angus being the baby at (I believe) 54!
This is how your parents and grandparents rock! 😎🤘
Hell yea!!
It is my opinion that ACDC have created and performed the greatest rock music this world has ever seen.
I will second that

Totally agree

Angus young could play the guitar while falling down stairs! AC/DC IS KINGS OF ROCK! I've been a fan for more than 3 decades!
Bonus info: They have a younger brother from another mother in the shape of Airbourne!
...and their cousin: Rhino Bucket
Airbourne is epic
💯🔥

I have several elderly neighbors, and they listen to AC/DC all the time... whether they like it or not.
And just announced they’re out playing massive gigs in 2024. Legends! No effing auto tune needed like modern ‘artists’ either!
I'm there they will rock under the table

The crowd got the band they deserved and AC/DC got the crowd they deserved.
They just announced a world tour starting in April of 2024 . it kicks off in Europe , they announced the dates 2 days ago and all European dates have already sold out. ALL our stadiums......
Have you seen the ticket prices 😱
Wait, WHAT!? How are they going to do that without their Lead Guitarist? Who got put on Guitar? I'm confused, I really thought they finally retired.
well, i stand corrected. who's taking Malcolm's spot?
@@karenmandeville7116 Okay, I might have mixed some stuff up here... Hang on, let me do some research, sorry.
Angus and Brian will be there. The rhythm guitar that Malcom played will be covered by their nephew. Cliff, the bass player and Phil, the drummer, are not announced. I don’t know who’s in charge. But I’ll be there, first concert of the tour, May 17th. With 70.000 people in a football stadium. And yes, they took 185€ for a ticket, but that’s sadly normal after COVID hit the industry very hard. Adele charged 400€ for a ticket, so AC/DC is still not so greedy. And the complete tour was sold out in half an hour!

Caramba!

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - One of my favorites!
It’s a long way to the top (if you wanna rock n roll ) with BON SCOTT vocals … 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
He still sounds like this… the still on the road. In august 2024 they were in Germany giving a great concert

Dirty deeds... done with sheep!
My daughter grew up on AC/DC, Zappa, Beatles, Aerosmith, Grateful Dead, Zepplin, etc. she’s in her 30’s and my ‘70s concert buddy.

In 2024 they are still going in their European tour. You can see these video s on you tube. Great reaction, greetings from Australia!!
Welcome to Australia BP this is prob the longest still running band besides queen. Australia's best band of all time and forever will be. RIP BON SCOTT the original OG vocalist

Amazing how his Gravelly Whiskey Voice has held up over the decade's ❤
LOL Dude your facial expressions are priceless when watching live Rock videos with large crowds. Keep enjoying,, life is good..
I saw them in Toronto in front of 500,000 people and they kicked my ass❤😂 The Jack and For those about to rock are a must❤😂
Sars Stock summer of 2003 Downsview Park
I got to see ACDC live at Dodger Stadium in 2015 and it was AMAZING! The energy was off the charts.

Highway to hell has no stop signs or speed limits it takes a longer time to climb upstairs But worth it
I actually had this joke in my head during the video. Great minds think alike haha
This was back when music sounded in person as did on radio the 80's and 90's where amazing to grow up in ....luv
Brian was in his mid '60's when this was recorded. This was in front of the greatest hard rock mosh pit on earth. God love AC/DC and God rest Malcolm Young. 🙋♂

River Platt, Buenos Aries. 200,000 over 3 nights. Brian ALWAYS sounds like this. Even in normal conversation...
the fact that there is a "highway to hell", but only a "stairway to heaven", shows the expected traffic.
Amazing performances. Still rocking it. Seen them many times.
Just remember many of the pioneer rap artists (Run DMC for one) sampled the hell out of metal songs to make their music
AC/DC The best rock and roll band in the world! I love them!!
The best song to experience Bon Scott,AC/DC's original lead singer IMO is 74'jailbreak.

I was lucky to be there, this guys are the real shit. It's funny that you mention earthquakes, because after the show the stadium was banned for shows because of damages caused by vibrations.
They are incredible live, so much energy.
100% authentic!!! And Hells Bells is AMAZING!!!!
You really need to check out the best use of bagpipes in rock in their song “It’s a Long Way to the Top If You Want to Rock and Roll” featuring the original lead singer Bon Scott before he died
oh and btw the crowd size was close to 200,000 and my first concert pilgrimage for a band it was insane, and it felt like an earthquake and the crowd looks wild but they were so caring for this dude with what they presumed was cerebral palsy:) so i felt totally safe jumping up and down.
200,000. Festival is in Argentina.
AC/DC are one of the best live bands ever - their sound is like the studio, and they have played together so long that all their sound drops and entries are spot on timing.
The vocals are still amazing but I must say I love me some Angus!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
It's live and I think that's more like a 100,000 crowd. Loved growing up with these guys. ✌🏼
The original lead singer Bon Scott died at age 33. The original whisky voice of legends. I really didn’t know at the time if they could ever replace him, But they did with great success. The love/hate..it reminds me of replacing other famous lead singers. How much hate did Sammy Hagar get when he replaced David Lee Roth?
Bon knew Brian Johnson, personally and told his bandmates that IF anything should ever happen to him, they should look into recruiting him. Bon chose his replacement.
@@wesalker3479 awe…that’s great insight..sad..maybe Bon knew one day his drinking would get the best of him. I was in High School at the time. I remember the boys in total disbelief. They really took it hard.
I don't believe Bonn Vs Brian is like Van Halen vs Van Hagar . Big difference though between your lead dies and your lead leaving/ being fired .
@@blurpledragon2779 oh I agree, but it was just a frenzy on campus.. I remember the boys striking a revolt against VH, the arguments..lol.. almost some fights..what crazy times it was as an observer. It was the common thread of “ can the original ever be replaced” . I’m sure many other bands throughout history went through this with unexpected deaths, firings etc. but this was at a very critical time period in my life when emotions are at an all time hormonal high.
Had the privilege to see them in Oakland back in July of 1978, Day on the Green #3. They shared the stage with Aerosmith, Van Haylen, Foreigner, Pat Traverse. It was an all day concert and it was the bomb.
You have this old Australian man happy 😂
They have been fighting for 53 years and they’re out on tour right now. They are the best rock ‘n’ roll group in the world.
This video was recorded from the concert in ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 my beautiful country !!!!! Here in Argentina LOVE rock music 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for giving us Manu Ginobili!
Hell yeah 😂now you got my❤full attention.😂my number one band 😂thanks. Enjoy. This is about a real highway in Australia. Power Up baby.
AC/DC FANS THE GREATEST FAN EVER
Seen them live they are best live band I’ve ever seen insane group just pure sound nothing else ❤🤘🇺🇸
Don’t forget that the original of this song was done by Bon Scott and this is Brian Johnson performing live.
Also, it makes me giggle when you say that you’re Christian and your mom would not like this. I grew up the same way. Went to Catholic school for 12 years from first grade to my senior year. I would blast AC/DC from my room and my parents would always talk about “that devil music“ and how I’d’go to hell’ for listening. my parents were also very big football fans. Somehow their music tastes would change when the very familiar bells would toll, signaling the beginning of AC/DC’s “Hells Bells“ that most stadiums started to incorporate during the games to gin up the crowds. They sure didn’t care that it was “devil’s music“ then! Lol.
They Just Player near my hometown and these Guys where still amazing!
Joe from Germany
If memory serves me correct, Highway to Hell is about being in a rock band touring. You definitely have to check out the old stuff, Try Dog Eat Dog. One of my favorites.
🎶...eat cat too...🎶🎸⚡️🔥
I think it's about a highway in Australia, close to where Bon Scott lived. He used to drive down that road to a bar to see his friends.
Hey Black P Love the reactions!!!You just watched what true Rockstar's are in their 60's still rock star's LOL Just keeping you posted they are touring starting in MAY in Germany as of 4/10/2024 they have only announced the European leg of the tour but we expect the USA leg of the tour to be announced soon we all hope. I promise you there are 2 bands you will never be disappointed of seeing LIVE AC/DC and KISS the shows are amazing I know there are others too but out the 50+ concerts I have been too they are at the top along with Pantera!!!!!! I went to AC/DC Hollywood in 1977 and went to AC/DC in last appearance in 2016 in Sunrise with AXL fronting the band the music stills sound exactly the same!!!!!
The original singer passed away. He was a fantastic front man. They hit the jack pot with Brian, as he was able to carry the AC/DC sound while not mimicking the original singer.
Brian sounds the same as 1980. He nearly retired claiming voice issues, but we fans haven't noticed much change.
Saw them at Reunion arena in Dallas in the 80’s. Fantastic show. They have many great songs! Listen to “The Jack” one of my favorites.
This isn't the early days of the band, it is the halfway point They started in 1973.
Highway to Hell was the last AC/DC album made by the previous singer Bon Scott R.I.P.
It's way past the halfway point.
Love some ACDC seen them in concert a few time with Bon Scott and Brian Johnson's both singers kicked my butt😂❤
Seen them live twice, they sound better live than studio!!@
Amazing; you wont find one love ballad in their catalog. 🤘❤️ that crowd is just thousands of folks as one huge pulsating entity. Yes its live😮
AC/DC has two main eras. The Bon Scott era gave the feeling of " you don't mess with us because we're crazy" . The Brian Johnson era gives the feeling of "you don't mess with us because we're bad"
The press played on the devil theme and the boys went with it. The story that makes the most sense is Bon Scott was living in WA and to get to the pub/town he had to go down a steep road with a bad corner which the locals called hell corner.Hence going down to the town with my friends, no stop signs etc. Now go to Bon Scott's time with ACDC, start with it's A Long Way to the top if you want to rock and roll. Australia had the best pub rock scene on the planet in the 70's and 80's
Dude not too shabby for a bunch of old dudes!!!!! AC/DC played 3 straight nights at River Plate in Dec 2009 to a total of 220,000+ ppl so says their official web site so that’s 73,000+ a night!!!!! Brian Johnson the lead singer was 63, Angus Young the lead guitarist was 54 and the rest of the boys were in their 50’s!!! Legendary is all I can say. These Argentina fans are the best on the planet and they appreciate good hard driving rock and roll. Just look at all the different ages in the crowd. It transcends generations. Unbelievable!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍🥳🥳😎😎🍸
Got to see them up in Montreal (was living in VT at the time) in 1988. They kicked a$$!!
Brian was 62 in 2009. They still make new music and are set to tour again.
Bon scott died then brian Johnson took over he is about 69 here not sure 😂😂 sure someone will cjorrect me The jack another one 😂 argentina
RIP Scott and Brian was a great replacement.
Im steeing them in Amsterdam june 6. For the first time. Ive been waiting to see the for 20 yesrs 🥰
