Nothing against the Johnson years, but Bon Scott AC/DC is unbelievable
For sure!!!
Same dude, respect to Johnson but I enjoy Bon Scott soo much more
truth
Damn straight facts
Johnson is great, But I'm definitely more partial to the Bon Scott era..........maybe because I can cover most of his vocals lol
This is the one song AC/DC never played live after Bon's Death. It was to honor him.
@@chris882211 no this was Bon's signature song and Brian Johnson won't to it out of respect ...Google it
Except in Detroit circa 1983 - present?
@@america1st721 right as far as I know
Respect...
@@mariajobson739 I know how to spell it my typing just sucks. But thanks for taking the time and energy to correct me.
I’m a Kiwi but I heard from my Australian brothers and sisters ACDC didn’t have a council permit filming this video on one of the main streets in the city and give it up to the Australians they let it continue,F yeah Rock n Roll🤘
Swanston Street, Melbourne.
It had also never been done before, which made this clip so popular.
Main drag through Melbourne
Modern Australia wouldn't, you would be accused of trying to kill the entire population
As an Aussie girl who grew up in the 7o's, these guys were Rock n Roll heroes. I grew up with this music,
and we were all devastated when Bon Scott deid plus now one of the Johnson Brotners have passed as well
they produce so many Rock anthems you sould listen too a Mistresses for Christmas 😂
I am a 56 yr old lady. Im living a life of extreme pain & illness.
Watching you share your discouveries in music history, is true joy.
There is zero lie in your being. Your appreciation of the music, the talent & the skill of the artists you choose to react to, is heartfelt & appreciated. You are total Class!
Facts 💯🤘✌️🫶
👍🙂
Try some Taurine powder. Less than a nickel a day so really inexpensive, give it a month. I'll vouch for that stuff. Also heard some good things about putting castor oil on your belly button so planning to look into that. Vitamin D3 in the winter is good too. Meat good, veggies and fruit not always so good. Apple cider vinegar. There's a bunch of really cheap stuff that works better than more expensive stuff or what doctors recommend or prescribe. Dr. Berg on YT and some others can help you out.
I only listen to Pegasus the bomb
They didn't play the bagpipes in this song. They ROCKED the bagpipes in this song.
I never knew the reason this song isn't played. Yes!!! Tribute to Bon Scott ❤ 🎶 🎵 ... so frigging 😎.
@@flawlessbydesign7284 Bon started to learn to play bagpipes with the Fremantle Pipe Band when he was about 11. l saw the woman who taught him play at a tribute concert to raise money for his statue at The Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbor.
He wrote the lyrics for Long Way To The Top in a couple of minutes sitting in a record company office somewhere in the US.
@@flawlessbydesign7284 They don't play Livewire either, probably the best they ever recorded
Thems they're bagpipes. The city is Melbourne Australia. Saw them live 1975 in Bathurst country NSW.
@@user-rc8oy1nm1dI watched a documentary on him, they said he didn't know how to play the prior but told the band he did. He played other wind instruments but not the bag pipes. They said he ran out and took a crash course class on how to play and only had a couple of lessons. Not sure if that is true or not and if that lady was still the person that thought him or not?
Bon was the secret weapon that made AC/DC soar…
So true👍🏻
I had the pleasure to be there, Swanston Street, Melbourne (1976) I'll Never will I forget that. My twin went to one of their shows, at the Catania ballroom, at Thornbury, Melbourne. Now that was awesome!!! Bon Scott ❤🥰 Made ac/cd who they were!!!
Bagpipe matching the guitar solo is EPIC!! RIP Bon!!! Best ever!!
The Bagpipes connection.. The Young brothers and Bon Scott were born in Scotland before their families emigrated to Australia
I love that Angus always acknowledged how great Malcolm was, he was The Heart and Soul of AC/DC, RIP Malcolm Young
didnt he even say when asked how did it feel being such a great guitar player and he answered with "Ïm not even the greatest guitar player in my family" legend
I cannot find where to put a new comment. He has to see baby please don't go. Where Bon Scott is dressed up like a girl
Bon was a Scotsman. The Young brothers are Scotsmen too. Scottish born, Aussie raised.
He's singing "getting HAD, getting took"...meaning ripped off and cheated. The "one night stand" lyric describes playing different venues night after night.
Now you know why Aussies are so proud of AC/DC. Imagine listening to this in your school days. RIP Bon.
Amazing times
The first time I saw the band was at an under age new years eve concert in Sorrento, Victoria.Maybe 100 kids were there.
I'm white 71yo female who grew up with this great music. You should hear Bon Scott sing Highway to Helll. I love you watching great music and your reactions to this music.
I wanted to add another song to react to is Rock Steady sung by Bonnie Raitt and Bryan Adams live '95. Keep up the good work.
70s ACDC 4 ME and this was the 70s
maybe i like it a touch too much, but highway to hell is BY FAR my favorite ac/dc album.
Say g'day to ya daughter for me Sheila
To think you have heard AC/DC over years and not this song then this is just badly scripted, badly acted rubbish
Congratulations on being the first American I've seen reacting to this who identified the bagpipes. Well done.
Well I didn't make a reaction video but I knew this was bagpipes without seeing the video. First time I heard it . Back in the late seventies
I'm from Scotland and this weekend past(when this was released) bonfest was held in Kirriemuir! A tribute to bon Scott in the town he was born 🎸🏴
As an old white dude, who grew up on "Good" music. It's a hoot, watching your reactions. It's like giving a kid a piece of candy, when they've never had candy.
58 years old here and 100 percent agree!
Yep. It's wonderful to see.
or English Cadbury's chocolate when they've only known American "chocolate".
This is the REAL AC/DC!!!!! The GREAT Bon Scott.
AC/DC were formed in Australia in 1973..their original singer was Dave Evans who lasted a year before Bon Scott took over in 1974 until his tragic untimely death in 1980..later that year they released Back in Black with new frontman Brian Johnson who has been with the band ever since (44 years) the only other singer i believe they had was Axl Rose for a short period a couple of years ago who stood in for Brian on a tour due to an ear infection..Brian is recovered now and they have new music and a new tour planned soon..unfortunately we recently lost Malcolm Young and he has been replaced in the band by Stevie Young who is the Younger cousin..
This Clip was filmed in my hometown of Melbourne Australia.
Those are classic W Class Trams you see in the background
Jimmy Barnes brother also sang with them early days. John Swan
They filmed that in Melbourne, Australia. Bon was born in Scotland but his family moved to Australia when he was 6, they spent four years in Melbourne before moving to Fremantle in Western Australia, my home state. He practiced playing the bagpipes to actually play that clip and did a brilliant job. I'm a big ACDC fan and seen them many many times. You so need to watch more of Bon's music as lead singer, you'll love them. To many to mention.
Malcom, and Angus were both from Glasgow Scotland, and they emigrated to Australia when they were kids!
Weird how the three came from Scotland!
@@daniel.d2150 You forgot about George their older brother who was in the Easybeats, and he has the Idea of Angus And Malcom to start their own band. George was their manger. George with Vander another from the Easybeats , started the Vander Young production company and many great legends of Aussie music was because of them
@@raymondhardy8468 yes I did forget George, as I know he stood after the loss of Malcom! Thanks for the heads up on that.
Bon Scott went from Fremantle to Adelaide they use to practice in a building just down from my house on Victoria rd Birkenhead. They use to play gigs at the Largs Pier hotel a long with bands like Cold Chisel and the Angels also played at the Pier hotel now it's just pokie and food place.
I will take Bon Scott AC DC over Brian Johnson AC DC in a heartbeat. To me, Bon Scott was AC DC.
I have all the AC/DC albums…… Except for Brian Johnson.
@@terrykerslake2675 Back in Black is ok but the rest no. Bon Scott was the best.
@@terrykerslake2675 without Bran Johnson, Thhe catalog would be terribly small and Brian does an excellent cover for Bon. Open your mind and enjoy the entire experienc.
Terribly small?i dont think so,the youg brothers were too brilliant for any smallness n brian was only an ok cover for bon.Technically and respectably saying@@alanrandall6720
Absolutely! His voice was incredible! My favourite...."Jailbreak"!
"It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll..." sang every school boy ever growing up in the '80's.
We had its a long way to the drop, if you forgot the dunny roll, When I was in the Army after one of the guys used one of his socks to wipe his ass.. the tune just fits so many situations 😂
We used to say, "it's a long way to The Cross if you wanna f**k a mole"...
I'm guessing each state has their own version of King's Cross - the famous/infamous red light district of Sydney NSW, back in the haydays when the Abe Saffrons and Roger Rogersons of the world were in charge...😏 iykyk...
🙃🐨🇦🇺
@@ThatguyPurps LOL!
Was looking for this comment
Annnd girls......don't forget us!!😂. That was me in the 80s . My mates and I thought we were so cool singing those lyrics 😂😂
Much love from Perth Western Australia the hometown of Bon Scott RIP...his resting place is down at Fremantle cemetery...BON SCITT RIP wrote most of their original music like Highway to Hell based on a Highway here in Perth called Canning Hwy where Bon used to play live music at The Raffles Hotel and he wrote Highway to Hell based upon Canning Hwy from Raffles Hotel all the way to Fremantle where Canning Hwy ends... and annually the Highway gete closed down during Bon Scott RIP birthday weekend and AC/DC tribute bands come from all over the world to play on the back of trucks and get to play all their tribute songs all the to Fremantle.... much love from Perth Western Australia....ACCA DACCA being kicking ass since the 70s and here in Australia they've been HUGE SINCE THE 70s.... hence the honour of shutting down the mainstreet of Melbourne VIC...❤❤
I'll take credit for his one...lol. No one ever recommends this video for reaction, but I did about two weeks ago, and I KNEW you'd love the little secret in this song. Like nothing you've ever heard before, it's AWESOME!!! AND IT WORKS!!!
The call and response between the guitar and bagpipes is one of Australia's greatest contributions to rock music
Aussies rock
Think you'll find it's Scottish!...Bon,Angus,Malcom,Bagpipes all from Scotland
@@static65days...
They cut their teeth in Oz, their heritage is Scottish, as far as I know they chose to identify themselves as Aussies for obvious reasons.
This silly argument has been going on for far too long, if you must, just call them AusScots, then you have the best of both worlds.
I'm sure the guys wouldn't mind in the slightest.
If you want to hear more of Bon Scott, listen to anything ACDC prior to the "Back in Black" album in 1980. Among the most well known songs with Bon Scott as lead vocalist include "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "T.N.T", and the absolute classic "Highway to Hell" from 1979. ACDC were about to conquer the world at the end of the 70s, "Back in Black" was ready to record, and then Bon goes and dies of an overdose.....RIP Legend!
yassssssssssssssss
Whole Lotta Rosie and Let There Be Rock are the best!
Thanks, Stephen, for the info. It send 90% of my favorite AC/DC songs are with Bon. Love that!
From what I've read, Bon froze to death sleeping in his car, and booze was the primary drug.
There was also a rumor that Bon had started to dabble in heroin and the band was close to letting him go. So yes, the "official" story is froze and was too drunk to get out of the car and feel asleep, but also heard he may have passed out after shooting up. Then the dude he was with took offnand left him in the car.
But who knows.
Melbourne Australia. My youth! Love AC DC. I’m 70 and I rocked along with the best if Aussie Rock and roll.
The other men playing the bagpipes were from The Rats of Tobruk Pipe Marching Band.
The music video for "It's a Long Way to the Top" by AC/DC was filmed on the back of a flatbed truck travelling down Swanston Street in Melbourne, Australia, in February 1976 as part of the promo for the album "T.N.T.".
The lyric is "getting HAD, getting took"
Bon Scott died in 1980. Also, Bon was born in Scotland, thats why he plays the bagpipes.
Check out Dropkick Murphys - "The Spicy McHaggis Jig" for some more bagpipes and funny ass lyrics. here's the link ruclips.net/video/_ZN3weW1udE/видео.html
And it's harder than it looks 😉😉✌️
If you are looking for inuendo, Go Down -77, explicit.
bon died in dulwich, london which is close to where i lived in crystal palace! bon died in his car when he choked on his own vomit! i also co wrote a record review of the 'highway to hell' album for record mirror, now defunct!!!
also, 'big balls & not forgetting, 'you shook me all night long' & the filthy, 'touch too much''!@@martenfredin213
Since the 70's yes...they're (Angus ,his brother Malcolm and family born in Scotland then moved to Australia young.
The Bon Scott era is the true AC/DC prime. Genius of youth.
The lyrics that always touched me in this song were when he said: “Getting ripped off, underpaid!” Other than getting dumped, I can’t think of a worse feeling for a struggling musician that finally wins a crowd over, than having an unscrupulous club owner magically forget a verbal payment agreement. You left the crowd screaming for more, the club sold a ton of drinks, but then you get shorted and lied to. Every musician who tries to rise above goes through this. This song is truth. Even if it’s pushing 50 years old. My hats off sirs.
I’m 65 grew up on AC/DC love the early raw Bon Scott AC/DC
I am 67 and that’s what separates ACDC from the rest!
Just turned 65 2 days ago
Yep, with you 63 yrs 😁
68 🤘Still lites a fire🎼🎸🤘
🔥 You KNEW it was coming and STILL the look on your face when the bagpipes hit! 🔥
My sister dated one of Australia's most successful singers in the '70s.
Through her I got to know several amazing Aussie bands members - these guys being some of them.
I met the guys just before Bon took over from Dave so knew both Bon and Dave, Bon blew Dave Evans out of the water.
I treasure those memories, wish Bon wad still here, he was very kind to his mates girlfriends irritating little sister.
We were shoehorning a big V8 into a 71 Gremlin, the summer of 78 ,,all of a sudden my crazzyass cousin slides into the driveway in his red Vette, stands on the seat, yells ," Hey ! Zoro , you wanna go to see AC/DC with Cheap Trick , NOW ? " I threw the wrench down, hoped in , he handed me a cold brewski , and we drove 68 miles in the back woods of West Virginia in an hour and a half. GREAT CONCERT ! Bon and Angus were the stars of the show. Listen to them all the time, Real ROCK and ROLL !
I was lucky enough to be a teenager in Melbourne Australia in the mid 70’s and got to see them so many times with Bon. He was the ultimate frontman, oozed charisma and always had a naughty twinkle in his eye (which is why myself and my other 15yr old friends never went backstage). He was amazing and will always be their frontman to me, no hating on Brian but he is not at all charismatic. My sister has seen both Bon and Brian and said that Brian was boring, Bon was never boring! He is a legend in this country! This was filmed in Melbourne going down Swanston St towards the Shrine of Remembrance and the whole video was done for $300 in 1975/76 and nearly 50 yrs later it’s still being used!!
The greatest city in the world!
Was not anymore! Sad but true.@@alansmall9830
Were you at the IYWBYGI show
@@edwardmunoz7853 we usually saw them at Festival Hall, even with Skyhooks and Split Enz. And one time they did a promo show at Eastland Shopping Centre in Ringwood, Melbourne, which we saw as well. If they were playing we went!! We absolutely loved them!!
@@alansmall9830🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video was filmed on February 23rd, 1976 for the Australian music television program "Countdown". It featured the band and the members of the Rats of Tobruk Pipe band on the back of a flatbed truck travelling down Swanston Street in Melbourne, Australia. David Olney was the cameraman and he had the whopping budget of $380 to get the job done.
$380 was more than three weeks wages for a factory worker. A packet of cigarettes cost 12 cents, a can of coke 8 cents, minimum chips 10 cents, you could buy a good second-hand car for $200. But there is always the joke about their "multi-dollar visual effects" on shows that look back at clips from that era. But the camera work is beyond excellent.
I saw AC/DC on the Highway to Hell tour and Bon Scott one of the best unique voices in Rock! Sorely missed! I saw AC/DC on Back in Black in 1980 and For Those About to Rock We Salute You in 1981. Brian Johnson was the perfect fit for AC/DC after Bon passed. Brian was a unique voice just like Bon’s voice was unique. Love them both!
The clip of Let there be Rock. Bon Scott . ACDC one of my favorites. You will love it !! Guarantee.
Brian Johnson never sings this song out of respect to Bon Scott
I know Big Balls they never play. I didn't realize they never sang this one too. And I've seen ACDC 5 times from the back in black album to bringing my kids decades later and then the last time when Johnson had to cancel on the tour because of his hearing. . Months later glad I held on to my tickets Axle Rose stood in for him to finish the tour. We were also since we had the original tickets aloud to go to much better seats. Axle did a great job, it is really about Angus now. I was only in 9th grade when Bon Scott died, never had a chance to see him😒
Brian Johnson is a gentleman.
@@kellyb.3600
You are so right, Brian is probably the most respectful Rock icon alive 👍💯😜
@@chris882211 I seen them with Axle on lead also and tbh I thought it was awful
You know you're one of the greatest Bands of all time when you can jam with the bag pipes.
69th thumbs up by me, hehe. 👍
AC/DC had an interesting inception in the bars in Australia in the 70's... Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) asked his younger brother Angus Young (lead guitar) to join his band in 1973; Angus thought, "Well, why not?"
The name came courtesy of their sister Margaret's sowing machine which had 'AC/DC' on the label and sounded electric 🌩 They don't like to talk about their string of early members who kept them in business between 1973 to 1975 but they had a singer - Dave Evans... Angus Young had tried various onstage personas and finally settled on wearing a school uniform in shorts - he was so short that he looked like a kid long into adulthood... Their older brother George Young (who was a guitarist in the 60's band The Easybeats) and Harry Vanda (his bandmate in The Easybeats) were working for Australian music label J. Albert & Son as producers and George was impressed w/ his kid brothers' new band AC/DC... They decided to record AC/DC's first single in 1974: "Can I sit next to you girl?"
The earliest footage of AC/DC (which is on YT) was performing "Can I sit next to you girl?"... on Australian TV in '74 w/ Dave Evans on vocals... Malcolm Young admitted they didn't like Dave Evans' glam style.
Despite having no money, AC/DC was on a small Aussie tour in '74 when they met Bon Scott... He was their driver hired to take the band from hotel to gig and back. He was a Scottish immigrant like Angus & Malcolm Young and the brothers liked him immediately.
Bon Scott was also years older than the Young brothers... He had been in a singer in a pop group The Valentines in the 60's... then, fronted a blues rock band Fraternity in the early 70's (he could also play the drums and flute) before a motorbike accident in '72 sidelined him. By '74, he was married and working odd jobs for a living... He saw AC/DC play one night and was impressed, especially by Angus Young's stage antics... When AC/DC needed a drummer, Bon volunteered to play (he wasn't that good according to Malcolm Young)
Then, singer Dave Evans quit the band just before an AC/DC gig in late '74 and Bon Scott offered to sing that night... According to Angus, Bon showed up guzzling a bottle of Bourbon w/ lines of drugs before going onstage but was great on vocals that night.
George Young was shocked when AC/DC turned up soon after in the studio and introduced their new singer Bon Scott, who was older... missing teeth from brawling ... and covered in tattoos - he was quite the character 😂However, Bon could sing and took AC/DC in a much more aggressive direction that Dave Evans could have... Without a drummer and bassist, AC/DC recorded their first full album 'High voltage' (George Young played bass in the studio and Tony Currenti played drums) ... It was released in early 1975.
Relocating from Sydney to Melbourne on the advice of manager Michael Browning, AC/DC hired Phil Rudd (drums)... then, Mark Evans (bass) and AC/DC appeared on Australian TV again performing an American blues cover "Baby, please don't go"... Bon Scott shocked audiences appearing like a schoolgirl w/ a wig, smoking on camera... spreading his legs... and waving a rubber mallet while singing 😂
AC/DC was a hit in Australia.
With a solid line-up, AC/DC recorded the album 'T.N.T.' in '75 and it went to #2 on the Australian charts... Bon Scott offered to play bagpipes on "It's a long way to the top..." to pay homage to his Scottish heritage (Bon had never played the bagpipes before but he killed it in the studio)
The band filmed the music video on the streets of Melbourne in 1975.
In 1976, AC/DC received offers to fly to the UK and sign an international record contract that would see AC/DC albums released outside of Australia... They had finished a 3rd album 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' and opted to sign w/ Atlantic Records in the UK (and America); the label decided to compile songs from their first 2 Aussie albums and release it as their international debut album 'High voltage'... marketing AC/DC initially as a punk rock band as they did their first UK tour (Called "Lock up your daughters tour" 😂)
However, record sales were poor initially and AC/DC saw Aussie shows under-selling by '76... So, they decided to relocate to London, England in 1977 after recording a 4th album 'Let there be rock'... Released that year, it finally gave AC/DC a decently-selling record as Cliff Williams (bass) replaced Mark Evans and AC/DC would tour N. America for the first time in '77... Record sales in Europe grew in 1978 w/ the 'Powerage' album and it even sold a quarter million copies in the USA w/ zero radio airplay.
In 1979, 'Highway to Hell' was the record that took AC/DC to commercial success, selling gold across Europe and N. America.
Tragically, Bon Scott was found dead in a friend's car in early 1980 after he had passed out following a night of heavy drinking... The tragedy nearly ended AC/DC but Bon's parents told Angus and Malcolm Young to keep the band going.
Brian Johnson (vocals) was hired in 1980 and did the 'Back in Black' album, which was dedicated to Bon Scott... That record broke AC/DC into mega-success in the 80's... By strange coincidence, Bon Scott had actually met Brian Johnson when Bon's band Fraternity toured the UK and opened for Brian Johnson's band Geordie in the early 70's... and Bon Scott had actually been impressed after seeing Brian Johnson perform one night and had apparently told Angus and Malcolm Young about him.
Brian Johnson also recalled meeting Bon Scott - he recognized him years later in 1977 when AC/DC appeared on British television and he'd become a fan of AC/DC.
I'm an Aussie, mid 60s and Bon Scott WAS AC/DC. So much music to explore mate, before Back in Black. Sadly Bon passed away in 1980.
Bon Scott was pure energy and personality. He was TNT, dynamite! I wish like hell I could've seen him before he passed but sadly I wasn't even born yet. Brian is great and I have no problems with him at all but Bon Scott was Rock and Roll! RIP
I saw BOTH. Bon was BEST! Brian is GREAT!
July 21, 1079 Day on the Green #3 Oakland CA. USA Mid lineup of 6 bands and stole the show. RIP BON🤘
Oh my days. Let There Be Rock Live from Glasgow. You have to watch it.
This
Best Bon Scott video. Is Let There Be Rock. Yes live but that video is just Bon Scott greatness.
Another performance by AC/DC with Bon Scott of "Let There Be Rock" that was bad-azz was the '79 concert in Cleveland Municipal Stadium @The World Series of Rock. What a great time to be alive & kick out the jams! No bout a doubt it. ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friends++ 🤘😜🤘
I first saw AC/DC in a small local hall on the Mornington Peninsula, my mate was in a band who were the support band. So l was back stage, rubbing shoulders with AC/DC. Use to go to a pub in Melbourne on Saturday night and AC/DC was the regular band and l would dance to all their songs. This was all happening back in 1974.
It was 1972 Street in Melbourne Victoria Australia. Bon was born in Scotland. His family immigrants to Australia, as we're the family of the Young brothers.
AH YEAH....Vintage AC/DC...this IS the real AC/DC!

It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pleasing to see someone react to bagpipes in a rock song. It's a HUGE musical genre diversion here, and it WORKS! WTF? Incredible! Thank you so much
Melbourne Australia. You can see the Shrine of Remembrance in the background. Bon Scott was born in Scotland and came to live in Australia around 6yo. Died in the UK in 1980 and there were different theories about how, from vomit aspiration, alcoholic poisoning to Heroin. He was brought back to Australia and is buried in Fremantle, Western Australia.
Bon Scott died from sleeping in a car after a night of drinking in feb 1980 .. The back In Black album was current lead singer Brian Johnson's first album with the band and was called back In Black as a tribute to Bon
Such a sad tragedy. Keep rocking, Bon! He was a rock light ❤
He puked in his sleep and basically drowned.
Hypothermia is the official cause of death. He passed out in his car and because of his alcohol level he couldn’t wake up to warm himself
@@user-jy2vd2em6v _Hendrix died in a pool of his own vomit; do you know how much you have to puke to fill up a pool?_ ~ Bill Hicks.
Pretty sure it was hypothermia that killed Bon.
The look on your face during the bagpipes is priceless! 😂😂
No one does guitars and bagpipes better than AC/DC!!!
Poor bloke doesn't know what has hit him!
My hometown of Melbourne, Australia!
Used to see these guys playing live at the pubs… that was an amazing time to be a teenager xxx❤
Swanston Street, Melbourne. Australia. February 1976. And he said "Getting Had" not getting head! Cheers!
I'm 61 and I still think ACDC is the best Bon Scott was really good
"1 of these days I"m gunna ... change my evil ways ... ride on ..." RIP Bon, we have never forgotten you
Most underrated AC/DC song ever
Love that song❤
This was filmed in my City, Melbourne Australia, the band asked a favour from a friend who worked at the ABC TV studios to get some cameras, luckily they used the expensive ones which weren't meant to be used outside..Tv Executives never found out, they quickly filmed their new song from the back of a truck as they cruised up Swanston Street with the old Green and Yellow trams rolling past and the Shrine of Rememberance in the Background, You can also see the Melbourne Town Hall where the famous Image of The Beatles waving to the Crowds down below was captured. This song Honours Melbourne as it was the first Rock n Roll city spawning many amazing acts.
That’s because Molly Meldrum loved the boys and the countdown studios were in elsternwick … molly was pretty influential 🙌👍🏻❤️
Saw ACDC with Bon Scott and later with Brian Johnson.
The energy at these concerts is a level all on its own.
Cherish my memories and times. Rock on.
RIP Bon and Malcolm, we are still rockin' to you! 🥹
Absolutely one of the best rock and roll songs, ever.
Bon Scott took ACDC down the road that would lead them to superstardoom. Friggin legend man....At least he had a good time while he was there!!!
hi dude
lemme tell you a short story. I am a metalhead - all through - and I came to music listening to our weekly german
hit parade on radio thursday evening. My first album (vinyl) was the best of ABBA and when I heard of the death
of Bon Scott in the radio show I started being interested in "who is Bon Scott ?".
I listened to AC/DC and somehow I felt kinda sympathy and that's the way it went. 🙂
From that day on this music for me is like walking on holy ground. It's RELIGION !
I've never ever seen him live but his spirit lives on deep inside my soul. May YOU, Bon, rest in peace ! ! !
This is one of my favorite ACDC songs. Wish more would react to it.
Bon Scott actually learned to play the bagpipes just for this song.
Thats incorrect. Bon had played bagpipes since he was a young boy. There are pictures of young Bon playing bagpipes in a couple of Bon Scott documentaries.
@@royhorn2782 You sir are the one who is incorrect.
@@hognuckles You sir, ARE correct. The other sir ain't.
That's true but he played drums in a marching bag pipe band as a kid.
Bon had told Angus that if anything ever happened to him he wanted them to get Brian J. to replace him.
I think I've also read that they were very close to end the band, but that Bon's mom convinced them that Bon would have wanted them to keep on. Or something like that.
ACDC are part of my happy Australian youth. Bon Scott a bloody legend. It
Yes the 70's AND IT IS get AHEAD. gets your blood boiling !! MELBOURNE
The feel on that guitar riff is R&R perfection.
😎👍
They are in Melbourne Australia man .
This was one of their first hits .
The best band that ever picked up an electric guitar.
Yeah and the beauty of it all is the fact that Angus never used all of them special pedals hooked up to his guitar cause he said that he loved the sound of an old SG and just crank it wide open and let her rip and he wasn't kidding around when he said it!!!
You're talking about Van Halen
I would have to go with Led Zeppelin on that one. Jimmy Page is a guitar master and virtuoso with a guitar
Watched AC/DC play this live at the RSL hall in Sorrento, Victoria, Australia when I was a young teen 1976. Bon Scott playing the pipes, highlight of my life 😊 RIP Bon you were the soul of AC/DC
This has to be your best reaction yet, the look on tour face was priceless! Yes Bon rocked those bagpipes!! You should have seen it live, oops giving away my age here...lol
Lyric, I think “getting had, getting took” and “one night stand” is a single day at a place before moving to the next gig.
Correct. It's not about getting laid. A one night stand is a single gig, and then moving on to play the next place. And that's harder than it looks.
I joined because I enjoy your videos and was impressed that you think it is important enough to thank your members at the top. Appreciate you, sir.
Filmed on Swanston Street in my home city of Melbourne. It was great to be a teenager in Melbourne in the 1970’s. Or just Australian in general. Still miss Bon, he was the best! ♥️ ps. Pro Tip aka ‘It’s A Long Way To The Shop If You Want A Sausage Roll’.
And now you have to react to T-Rex. Marc Bolan. Any song.
Clip is either late 1974 or early 1975 in Melbourne, Australia. I first saw AC/DC in 1974 at Caulfield Institute of Technology where I was studying. The song is also known as “Its a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll”. LOL
Bon Scott and the Young brothers ( Angus and Malcolm) were born in Scotland and met after their families moved to Australia.
Bon Scott passed away in 1980 while passed out drunk.
The album Back In Black was their first album with Brian Johnson after Bon's Death..... ( if you are making money, you are in the black, while losing money puts you in the red, HENCE, they are Back In Black)
Back in Black means they were back but in mourning for Bon. It was a tribute to Bon Scott. It was released a mere 4 months after Bon's death.
@@cathyaldridge4550 Mutt Lang milking the ca$h cow!
They also had an older brother named George Young. He is mentioned in sultans of swing. Check out guitar George he knows all the cords.
The expression on your face, made me smile. I've been listening to acdc since high school, I still love them. (I'm an old lady, 60.) ❤ love your channel too!!
Bon Scott AC/DC is the best AC/DC. Bon loved woman, booze, fighting and singing for the band! The original real Bad Ass!!!
I know I was one of the woman he’d follow around the band came to our school in 76.
The only band that makes my spinal fluid move around. 40 years they have been no. 1 on my list and I think they are there to stay for good.
It’s weird how Bon and Brian sound so much alike, it’s as if AC/DC was meant to last as long as they have
Brian said that Bon told his band that if anything ever happened to him, to sign Brian who was in the band Geordie at the time. After Bon's early death, that's exactly what happened.
@@Debbienoway interesting
Brian was a great replacement but in my opinion Bon was and still is the best in my mind.
My favorite is, Touch Too Much.
Old ACDC is the best. Every song on the High Voltage album is bad ass. Best guitar song of all time" Rock and Roll Singer. "
Bon Scott was Scottish and so are Angus and Malcolm Young, three were all born there. I saw them 50yrs ago in Scotland and 4 times in Australia..they were absolutely amazing every time 👍❤❤🏴❤🏴
R.I.P Bon and Malcolm 🙏🙏
Filmed in Melbourne Australia, alternative Aussie title "It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll".
Only AC/DC can pull off bagpipes in rock it out! 😂😂
The bagpipes are an homage to the birthplace of Angus and Malcolm Young, Bon Scott and Cliff RIchard (all born in Scotland) although Bon did not really know how to play the pipes, he learned to for this song. The Drummer, Phil Rudd is native to Australia. ACDC started in 1973 with singer DAVE EVANS, and after a year of constant touring and Angus changing funny costumes (drag, future man, and even a gorilla suit) they got rid of Dave and hired BON in 1974. Bon worked hard with the guys to get them to international fame by 1979's Highway to Hell. Unfortunately, he choked in his sleep in a car, after a hard night of drinking. Bon was an ultimate front man. Months after his death, Brian Johnson from the band GEORDIE in Newcastle England, and a mate of Bon's when they toured the UK, was invited to a London audition for a band. He asked who is the band? The agent replied, ":I can't tell you their name, it's a secret, but their initials are A. C. D. C. He rushed to London and got tied up playing pool with the roadies downstairs until Malcolm asked him to come up to the studio and try a few songs. He has been with Angus and the guys until just this past year they released another album.
Excellent info... I might add that my understanding is Bon Scott told his band that if something ever happened to him... that Brian Johnson needed to be his replacement. Seems he could sing, play the bagpipes, and had precognition, too.
Cliff Williams was born in England and lives In Australia
They actually met Brian Johnson thru Bon Scott...Everything before Back in Black was Bon Scott. Some of their earlier videos are great. Check out ' Jailbreak'🎸
This was in Melbourne - it was late 70's - I left school in 78 - this is the AC DC I knew (not to disrespect after Bon's death - loved them too) - loved Bon. The two best pub rock bands as I grew up and followed - two legendary Aussie bands - AC/DC and Cold Chisel (my favs). We were blessed
While jamming on new songs in the studio, co-producer George Young (the older brother of Angus and Malcolm) recalled that Bon Scott had once been in a pipe band and encouraged the band to experiment with incorporating bagpipes into the song. Scott left the studio that day and returned with a set of bagpipes purchased at a Park Street music store at what was an extortionately high price (AU$479) at the time. Bassist Mark Evans would later muse that the amount “would have bought two Fender Stratocaster guitars”. Simply putting the pipe-set together proved tricky, and it became apparent Scott had never played the instrument before, having in fact been a drummer in the aforementioned pipe band. Nonetheless, Scott taught himself to play well enough to record and perform the song (initially with the help of tape loops).
However, playing the song live was made difficult by the fact that the whole band would have to tune to the drone pipe. Thus the song, though iconic of the band's early repertoire, was probably played live no more than 30 times. The last occasion was in 1976, following an incident where Scott set down the pipe-set at the corner of a stage during a concert at St Albans High School in St Albans, Victoria, Australia and they were destroyed by fans. Subsequent (relatively rare) live performances employed a recording of the song's bagpipe track or an extended guitar solo by Angus Young.
It's a long way to the shop if ya want a sausage roll. As we used to sing it!
My first concert ever was with Bon Scott and AC/DC when I was 14 in Perth W.Oz.
Way back in the day, a "one night stand " was when your band was in a spot for only one show, one night, then on to the next show.
And the road they’re on leads to the Shrine of Remembrance. They are total Aussie legends and Bon was just THE man. I’ve walked up and down that street for decades and this brings back so many memories of the seventies. New to your channel, loving this. I think Bon sang “getting had”, grin.
Edit that’s St Kilda Road, Melbourne. Yes those are bagpipes! Australia has British/Scot/Irish roots. ❤️
Bon was lead singer from 1974-1980... that's only 6yrs. Immediately after his passing Angus and Malcolm recalled a conversation they had with Bon (years before his death). In that convo, Bon told them about "this guy Brian" that he saw performing in a club recently. Bon told the brothers how freaking great Brian was and jokingly told them that if anything ever happened to him... Brian was the guy to replace him. Long story short... Bon unknowing picked his own replacement. That's a fact! Angus and Malcolm have retold that story MANY times throughout the years.
SOOOOO.... for all the people out there trying to take credit away from Brian Johnson, understand that he was Bon's choice. Luckily Angus and Malcolm remembered that conversation!! Brian took over in 1980 (just 5 FREAKING MONTHS after Bon's death). He and the boys of AC/DC created the ICONIC "Back in Black" album. It's AC/DC's TOP SELLING (25 X's PLATINUM) and MOST KNOWN ALBUM TO DATE... 👊💯💯💯
Bon was great and did put them on the map, but it wasn't until Brian that they really took off. PERIOD! 44 years later Brian is STILL out there touring and KILLING IT with AC/DC.
Bon Scott: lead singer 1974-1980
Brian Johnson: lead singer 1980- current 2024...
Nuff said!!😁
Rest in sweet heavenly peace Bon Scott.🙏 And thanks for carrying the torch so phenomenally Brian Johnson.🥰 Thanks for the music boys...😎✌
EDIT: for context, I was only 3yrs old when AC/DC first hit it big in the U.S. so while it was playing in the background of my childhood (my Dad's records😉) and I loved the music... I wasn't old enough to understand the greatness. It wasn't until the early/mid 80's as I became a teenager, I began to understand how good they were and that there were 2 different voices on the tracks I had been growing up with.
Long story short... for me, Bon's voice/energy is more of a sleazy naughty. While Brian's voice/energy = a "fun-naughty". It's more playful. Just saying! lol!!🤗
"You can't kill MY vibe" 💯💯👏👏💕💕
"It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll"... we sang these works as kids back in the 80s.... memories. 😊
It s a long way to the cross if you want a smelly hole
Bon is buried in Western Australia at Fremantle Cemetery. 2020 was the 40th anniversary of his burial. An event called Highway to Hell (the route between the then infamous Raffles Hotel and Fremantle) took place. Locations were set up along the route, trucks with bands on board playing ACDC tracks pulled in, performed and moved on for the next one to come in. People were dancing on the streets, it was wild! RIP Bon & Malcolm Young.
AC⚡DC is of Scottish origin, but moved to Australia at an early age.
The band itself is NOT Scot or of Scots origin, but originally 2 members were born in Scotland.
When they sacked Dave Evans for being boring and hired Bon, that made 3 members born in Scotland, but all 3 schooled in Australia, and the band was created and born in Australia , and played Aussie Pub Rock in its purest form.
THIS is pure undiluted rock & roll! The second greatest use of bagpipes in pop music- John Farnham, 'You're the Voice' Another amazing Aussie!
Watching you react to stuff I’ve loved my whole life is my new favorite thing on RUclips. I’m 63 and you are rocking these reactions.
It was filmed on the 23rd February 1976 in Swanston Street Melbourne, the 70s were the BEST we were actually free a lot of aussies (settlers and convicts) ancestors have Scottish heritage like Bon thus the bagpipes
