      Idk about the “Aussie” part of it, but Angus has always come off as the most typical guy... ever. You seem him being a demon on stage, then in interviews he is so boring and just mumbles short replies inaudibly. Part of me was very disappointed to see how regular he is off stage lol.

      Bon was proud of both his Scottish and Australian heritage, that's why he statues in both Kirriemuir and Freemantle. There aren't any other rock stars that have statues on opposite sides of the planet. And no arguments here about him being a legend!

      You do know that the nickname Bon came from "Scotland Forever"? And indeed Bon had that tattooed on his arm? Bon's first instrument were the drums in the Freemantle Scottish pipe band, and you might have heard of a little song called Long Way to the Top that he played bagpipes on? :) Bon was very proud of his Scottish roots. Yes he was Aussie though and through, but his heart was always in Scotland too.
