Thankfully Brian Johnson is back. Thanks to technology and good medical help, he can hear better then he has in years (according to him). And he has returned to AC/DC.
Malcolm Young was the rhythm guitarist from 1973-2014 and during the 2008 Black Ice World Tour he was diagnosed with lung cancer and was battling dementia. He kept on forgetting his own songs that he wrote and he had to keep playing them to himself so he could remember, astonishing that he completed that tour Rock in Peace
Hey Jojo, Im 70 years old and have really enjoyed watching you discover ACDC. And at the same time grow. I have been into music since the 50s. Skiffle then the Beatles. Wow that was amazing at the time. Then Rock, the 'Stones, etc. Then Metal. with Black Sabath, Uriah Heap etc. There is so much more of this passionate music for to yet discover. I'm subscribing because I am loving your journey. Peace man.
Thank you Jojo! You have taken the time to understand where our legendary ACDC have come from. Appreciating how very hard their lives have been. They are cherished by Aussie's across our great land. It is wonderful to see compassion and empathy from someone so young. Your parents should be (and I'm sure they are) very proud of you!
@@Stlmgnolia I think he’s out now or possibly just had to serve probation time. Last that I heard he was back to record another album and tour. So far anyway! Lol!
RIP Mal and Bon, George and Margaret. Angus lost 2 brothers and a sister within a short period, George then a month later Mal, sister was a few months after. There is way more tragic stuff than this lists. However it is a really good video. Thanks for this.
5:29 In 2000 I was 18 yrs old and was at the Roskilde Festival. That year 9 people were crushed to death in the crowd during a Pearl Jam concert... It changed my life. I still remember the band crying and pleading for fans to move back and make room... We all cried for days after that and so many people left for home... those of us who stayed were never really the same I think. The fragillity of life was smacked in our faces in the middle of an extatic high.... and we couldn't ignore the fact that we had been a guilty part of what happened... We stayed out of respect for the dead vowing to carry the torch in their memory and to never let this happen again... It was the second time I was at the festival... and I have been coming back ever since, something keeps pulling me back and every year I visit the memorial site on the festival grounds with a knot in my throat... Covid has been the only reason for me missing a week at the festival since then. It felt so weird sitting at home...
I saw them in the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati a little over a week after the Salt Lake City incident. It was my first concert, and I was a bit terrified, but they had changed things due to the incident and everything was awesome. Seen them many times since 1991.
Thanks for opening up and understanding AC/DC! Your reactions are genuine. This band truly changed the course of my life when I was 12. I'm 27 now and I'm still listening to this band and even my 2 boys love them just as much as I do. Here's my recommendation for another reaction video! That's The Way I Wanna Rock n Roll - AC/DC (The Blow Up Your Video 88' was when Malcolm Young had to step down for rehab.) This song was written during that time.
Yep. I actually worked as security guard for that tour when Axl Rose filled in. I got to watch the whole show from behind the curtians where they had the props. Got to meet Axl when the crowd cleared out. Lol. He gave me a hug and it got me in trouble. But it was well worth it. Lol
@@animal61066 I won’t deny how well Axl stood in for Brian but man I honestly just have a hard time respecting the guy. He’s very talented but man I find him to be such a shitty person, I just don’t really care. See like Eddie Van Helen, pretty nice guy, easy to appreciate. I don’t know. I probably just think too much out it. I just know I don’t like Axl Rose.
@@AethericSoul I’ve heard a lot about Axl being impossible! (With Guns and Roses this is about) Refusing to go on stage and having to cancel shows. Just being an asshole to each member of his band. He slowly destroyed his whole band as each member left one by one to be replaced by new members not as good as the original! Nothing matches the original lineup from Appetite For Destruction! That first album is no match for any other album that they did! Appetite is one of the best debut albums of all time!
Hi LFR JoJo again, I forgot to mention that a true fan of AC/DC would know that there was a lead singer before Bon Scott. Have a great day and keep up the good work 👍🇦🇺 from Dave in Australia.
I love the fact that you do videos that are like mini documentaries or biographies Instead of doing a music reaction with your time. I really admire that about you
Hey JoJoba..glad to see u r learning about the history of American music..start looking at 1950s do woo...like Spaniels...etc These artists used their voices as musical instruments
.... and Brian Johnson came back, got his hearing issues addressed! But they didn't even mention the drummer Phil Rudd (charges were dropped, but reputational damage...)
I was at the Salt Lake City show in 1991. We knew “something” happened… and after the show there was blood on the floor near us. All three died after the shoe at the hospital of “injuries sustained”… but one person was “technically” unrelated. He jumped over the side of spiral ramp in the lobby (10-12 drop) and landed on his head. The concert was at the Salt Palace arena since demolished and is now a “convention center”. As a b-ball fan…The Salt Palace was the birthplace of the “Stockton to Malone” era of the Utah Jazz.
The reason Malcolm Young dementia was made public which the band/family kept private for as long as they did was because a newspaper in Sydney ran a front page story outing him with his care person. I was home in Sydney at the time and was totally disgusted that they would basically force the family to confirm it and denying Malcolm the dignity to enjoy his privacy. Angus said later the hardest part for Malcolm initially when he started showing signs of dementia was he couldn't remember the lyrics to ACDC songs
These are a band that suffered but when they are at their best their concerts make more noise than an International Airport! And that’s just the Audience! Loud? H*ll Yeah!
Check out Red Hot Chili Peppers' life story. It's pretty tragic too! Drug addiction killed their first guitarist and nearly killed their best one and the lead singer broke his back jumping off a roof, then nearly died in Borneo...they were all heroin addicts. The lead singer's dad gave him drugs and hookers when he was like 12. It's crazy!
I think rock bands tend to have more tragic or interesting stories, because they tend to be living fast, raucous lives. The young lives of their childhood is often beset by the tragedies of divorce, poverty, or abuse. This probably gives them the grit in their music. You add young success, fast cash and tge drugs that often come with it, and all sorts of things happen. Accidents, injuries and arrests are common features of rock star lives.
Bon Scott was the lead singer originally, I wept the day he died. I wrongly thought that would be the end of ac/dc, then came Brian Johnson and rocked my school socks off.
You missed. The arrest a Richard Ramirez AKA The Night Stalker in LA wearing n acdc baseball-style cap. The media went wild on that and the band. They tried to say AC DC where devil worshippers. So they dealt with that tragic situation as well rest in peace Malcolm job well done
Bon actually died of massive organ failure. A friend of his who lived in the same block of flats. Her or a friend of hers had parents who worked in a hospital where they quickly did a full body X-ray. He had the organs equivalent to that of a 60 odd year old man.
THIS DEFINITELY IS ONE TO WIKIPEDIA 1ST. To See HOW MANY ALBUMS THAT HE PLAYED ON IN LESS THAN ONE DECADE 1 person that you have Never played was My 1st guitar hero of the mid 1970s. His name was TOMMY BOLIN. He, sadly, passed away in December of 1976 of a drug overdose. I was 17 and his death Crushed My World for quite a While. I would LOVE to see/watch your reaction to "Dreamer" Studio version off of the Album "Teaser". Also, MY Favorite Tommy Bolin song is "Wild Dogs" also off of his 1st solo album, "Teaser". Also, a Great jamm song off of his 2nd solo Album, ''Private Eyes'', is the track titled "Post Toastee". Everyone gets to Show Off a Bit On "Post Toastee". IF you love songs with Great Dynamics from slow, sparse, beautiful and melodic to- Boom, rocking out in a flash, and then BOOM- right back to soft and mellow, then "Dreamer" is for you. I would recommend the regular studio audio of all. Thank you. I Love watching your Reactions! When you read it, just Look at ALL he did in a Very Short Time. More than a Lot of Artists/Bands do in their entire Career... @LFR Jojo Does That Make You Even a Little Intrigued??
46 years as of 2021 to be exact. In that time span...basically 3/4 of a normal human life expectancy, there's going to be some attrition. The music industry/lifestyle will eat you alive if you let it. Regardless of what genre of music, there's excesses that normal people don't get to experience, money, fortune, fame ALWAYS comes with a high price tag. Lot's of musicians spend their lives and careers living on the edge......sadly, some fall off the edge, and at the height of their popularity. The wild life takes a toll, and sadly.... some people pay with their lives. So many great musicians from ALL genres of music have been lost to the excesses of hard partying, drinking, drugging, and thugging in one way or another. Or many combinations thereof. There's also been many who were lost in tragic accidents, not of their own doing as well. AC/DC are one of the greatest Rock And Roll bands of all time....and it's truly amazing, especially after all they've been through as a band, that almost a half century later.....they're still chugging right on along and tearing the roof off of every venue that they play. They're LEGENDS....plain and simple. They can still BRING IT live almost 50 years later.....and that's saying something. BTW.....I get how you could get Angus and Brian confused. Angus is the lead guitarist, and Brian is the singer..........But Angus is DEFINITELY A CO-FRONTMAN alongside of Brian and captures your attention throughout their whole performance. He's all over the stage, and never stops moving while playing. So being a Rap fan who is unfamiliar with the rock genre, I get how you could confuse the two names. As always...Peace and Love from Baltimore, Md. U.S.A.
The Young brothers are the two guitar players. Brian Johnson and Bon Scott and a Bob Johnson were the three ACDC singers. Johnson was there for barely the first year and booted.
Bon was left in a car, he may have been too hard to move, if out of it on either drink or drugs. but the real reason, I read, is that he actually died of exposure as it was winter and knowing Bon he may have had next to no clothes on, at least a bare chest. The truth of his death will probably never be released to the public. As the vid says, the world lost a legend that night and ACDC, in my view, their best front man and singer
I can only imagine the hearing loss that Brian suffers from. I'm sure many of us fans have a bit of hearing loss just from windows up and volume as high as we can get it.
Re: Salt Lake City, there should've been more sweeping mandates after the stampede in Cincinnati. But generally, this is reminding me about how so much inspiration for musicians in the grunge and 90's alt. Genres came from the depression, addictions, and other turmoil that inspired some of their most poignant work. Seeing a video of Scott Weiland sing "Fall to Pieces" at Live 8 is just heartbreaking. Then, you remember the Chester Bennington was also at the Philly show performing the "Numb" remix with the rest of Linkin Park and Jay-Z.
Hi from the Uk, I’ve been an AC/DC fan for 40 yrs, started listening to them when I was 12, I love all rock music but then I like all types of music, if you wanna listen to something that might surprise you check out Gary Numan R.I.P. it’s epic but then I love all numans stuff, he’s so diverse with his music and was big in the late 70s n 80s with electro music, try it n hopefully you will enjoy, all the best Steve
Imagine spending many months and even years doing a tour.....performing your best every night....coming off stage with your adrenaline pumping and desperately needing sleep, alcohol and or drugs are what many end up using
Rock stars ARE a different breed, that's for sure. Many of them kinda bring it on themselves (heroin never did anybody any good man!) or the life they lead brings it on them (most of the ones who drink, do it to cope with either the fame or the schedule). Add the fact that AC/DC and a few others entered the FIFTH decade of their presence on the very front of the rock stage and you can see why most of them are facing huge health problems. You have reacted to and are aware of the group called Iron Maiden. Like AC/DC, they too are around since the late 70s, being on top of their music genre for over 40 years (how many in this comments' list has LIVED as much? I'd guess less than half!). Unlike AC/DC, Iron Maiden never had to mourn the loss of an icon right at the moment when they were making it BIG, all their personnel changes were "calculated" moves or departures due to musical or other differences, so no drama of that sort. Add the fact that most of them take good care of themselves and you can see how they stay "afloat" in their mid-60s and still tour and make new music. I hope that the musicians who shaped my younger years are all fine and well and are active as much as they want to be. We've lost too many in the past 5-6 years, we need a "break" and we need a few more of our icons to be around a bit longer! P.S. Not sure if you are coming back to a more active presence here, it's been around 3 months with no new videos, but I am still going to leave this here, just in case. When you come back, you should react to some "late greats", people you will not see live since they are dead already but were great while around. People like David Bowie (if you have seen the Martian, with Matt Damon, you have heard Starman, one of his greatest hits from 50 years ago! And there are many more!) or Lemmy, of Motorhead (Ace of Spades is a good place to start and Another Perfect Day a good place to finish!).
They missed this BIG ONE Phil Rudd On 6 November 2014 Rudd was arrested and charged with attempting to procure a murder, threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis, following a police raid on his home. The charge of attempting to procure a murder was withdrawn the following day] On 21 April 2015 he pleaded guilty to the remaining charges, with the exception of one of the two threatening to kill charges, which was dropped
They left out the Drummer Phil Rudd's self inflicted problems with the law! LOL Anyways, You have done a good bit of AC/DC songs on your channel, it was how I found you originally, but most of it is stuff done live with Brian Johnson on vocals. You should find a song with Bon Scott on vocals sometime, Ride On or Night Prowler, or The Jack, maybe the studio versions so you know you got the right singer. No cap!
The sad reality is that most of these rockers , on the outside looking in ,seemed to have it all, they seem happy and all of these things, but they are searching for some thing to fill the emptiness inside and they’re looking in the wrong places, and they are some of the loneliest people out there, celebrities as well, but for the most part, it’s musicians, there are so so many of them that died of alcohol and drugs whether it was accidental or intentional or whether it was a “suicide”, who really knows the truth, but the reality is, deep inside they are miserable and empty and unfortunately I don’t think many of them find what it really is that they’re truly looking for and what it is if they truly need and long for
Bon Scott had more raw energy and rasp. Brian is great but he's not Bon Scott, sadly bon Scott died before they blew up with highway to hell which was the last record he did before he died.
07:00 wait for Phil Rudd bro 😝 Edit: wow they didn’t talk about phill Rudd’s murder. Drummer Phil Rudd tried morder someone (very distinct story). He’s been free for a couple years now and ac dc recorded their latest album shot in the dark as a good bye for Malcolm.
New reactions from AC DC? However, AC DC has been around for 50 years and just started their world tour in May. I have a ticket to Italy. 102,000 people Reggio Emilia Italy. acdc 4ever
Becauce you found no more louder Rock Band at AC/DC!!!!!Now its the New Album out Power Up and i think this its sooooooo fantastic Bro!!!!!!!!!Please you make a Reaction Video Jojo!!!¨THX from Swiss
Pretty much all of the big hair rock bands went through drug and alcohol problems and bus wrecks and plane crashes. So many artists have died in small airplanes. Even Lisa Lopez from TLC died in a car crash. All the good ones die young. Nerds live to 100.
Another tragedy linked to them and another song for you relates to serial killer Richard Ramirez who wore an AC/DC logo baseball cap and was called the "Night Stalker" because of AC/DC's song "Night Prowler" (the song somewhat mimics his MO). The media linked the band to him and to the so called "satanic panic" of the 1980's. They had that controversy with which to cope, also. "Night Prowler" was sung by the first lead singer Bon Scott. It is one song of which I am not a fan.
Lol you were close. Angus Young is the main guitarist. Brian Johnson is their lead singer.
Back then it was Bon
Bon was first. He passed in the 70s. Brian took his place. Angus is lead guitar and Malcolm, Angus' brother passed a few years ago
@@markmoscatello9461 Dave evans, bon was after him
@@primalryzen oh ok. I didn't know there was one before bon. I remember hearing how they got Brian after Bon.
@@markmoscatello9461 I think it was like 1980
Thankfully Brian Johnson is back. Thanks to technology and good medical help, he can hear better then he has in years (according to him). And he has returned to AC/DC.
Cue Back in Black.
"Rock stars are a different breed" Never a truer word has been spoken.
“I know Angus is the lead singer, I’m not that slow” I love you Jojo 😂😂
Right? If he did know it all it wouldn't be much of a reaction video! Jojo rules
I mean he’s almost correct.
@@minthang1372 It's fair to say Angus is up front
@@iRyanThePirate that’s fair
@@minthang1372 yep totally correct Angus is the lead ,he just doesn't fancy singing
R.I.P. Malcolm Young and Bon Scott
Malcolm Young was the rhythm guitarist from 1973-2014 and during the 2008 Black Ice World Tour he was diagnosed with lung cancer and was battling dementia.
He kept on forgetting his own songs that he wrote and he had to keep playing them to himself so he could remember, astonishing that he completed that tour
Rock in Peace
"I knew that Angus was the lead singer"
Actually, Angus is the lead guitarist, specifically, the guitarist whose dressed like a schoolboy
Nah bruh hes the drummer. Everyone knows that phil rudd is the lead guitarist

You HAVE to watch "The AC/DC Story: From the Beginning to Stiff Upper Lip"
when Malcom passed away, it was like losing a good friend. RIP
I saw them in the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati a little over a week after the Salt Lake City incident. It was my first concert, and I was a bit terrified, but they had changed things due to the incident and everything was awesome. Seen them many times since 1991.
Thanks for opening up and understanding AC/DC!
Your reactions are genuine. This band truly changed the course of my life when I was 12. I'm 27 now and I'm still listening to this band and even my 2 boys love them just as much as I do.
Here's my recommendation for another reaction video!
That's The Way I Wanna Rock n Roll - AC/DC
(The Blow Up Your Video 88' was when Malcolm Young had to step down for rehab.) This song was written during that time.
You should try and find a story about Metallica. Their story to the top and the events along their career is sad as well.
Yep. I actually worked as security guard for that tour when Axl Rose filled in. I got to watch the whole show from behind the curtians where they had the props. Got to meet Axl when the crowd cleared out. Lol. He gave me a hug and it got me in trouble. But it was well worth it. Lol
Also I don’t know if you caught this Jojo but on AC/DC’s Rock or Bust tour that was Axl Rose from Guns and Roses singing in Brian’s place.
He did an awesome Job too. I was at the London gig for that tour, it was amazing
@@animal61066 I won’t deny how well Axl stood in for Brian but man I honestly just have a hard time respecting the guy. He’s very talented but man I find him to be such a shitty person, I just don’t really care. See like Eddie Van Helen, pretty nice guy, easy to appreciate. I don’t know. I probably just think too much out it. I just know I don’t like Axl Rose.
@@AethericSoul I’ve heard a lot about Axl being impossible! (With Guns and Roses this is about) Refusing to go on stage and having to cancel shows. Just being an asshole to each member of his band. He slowly destroyed his whole band as each member left one by one to be replaced by new members not as good as the original! Nothing matches the original lineup from Appetite For Destruction! That first album is no match for any other album that they did! Appetite is one of the best debut albums of all time!
@@zosozildjianmagick1790 exactly what I’m talking about
@@AethericSoul me neither
Saw AC/DC the concert before Bon Scott's passing. That gig was electrifying!
no angus young isn't the lead singer he's one of the guitarists. with crazy skills and acts crazy but one i think of two that never got on drugs.
Angus is famously a teetotaler. He has never had an alcoholic drink in his life. However he does smoke like chimney.
He said he know nothing about rockstars so yeah
@@minthang1372 that's the reason for the comment to let him know. he won't know unless we tell him or he researches it. wasn't being rude.
@@b3r3tta95 yeah I know
Hi LFR JoJo again, I forgot to mention that a true fan of AC/DC would know that there was a lead singer before Bon Scott. Have a great day and keep up the good work 👍🇦🇺 from Dave in Australia.
Fair play to you for reacting to a serious video like this, it makes a change. Thank you.
I never want you to stop reacting to Metallica. Having said that this is probably my favorite video you've done that I've seen so far
I love the fact that you do videos that are like mini documentaries or biographies Instead of doing a music reaction with your time. I really admire that about you
Hypothermia is believed to be the cause of death by many. Passed out in the car on a super cold night.
So, nice to see the next generation understand the hard work and sacrifice.
fistbump for a young guy exploring rock history ;)
cheers from an old rocker
ps: i'll try to look up some rap
hehe
Hey JoJoba..glad to see u r learning about the history of American music..start looking at 1950s do woo...like Spaniels...etc These artists used their voices as musical instruments

This is awesome. I just discovered your channel. You are so damn cool and wise beyond your ears, no cap as you would say.
The reason Malcolm Young dementia was made public which the band/family kept private for as long as they did was because a newspaper in Sydney ran a front page story outing him with his care person. I was home in Sydney at the time and was totally disgusted that they would basically force the family to confirm it and denying Malcolm the dignity to enjoy his privacy. Angus said later the hardest part for Malcolm initially when he started showing signs of dementia was he couldn't remember the lyrics to ACDC songs
And he forgot the chords to aswell
Terrible that the caregiver couldn't have kept the family privacy; probably sold out for a lot of cash.
Young man, you have to stop taking the name of our Lord and Saviour in vain.
Best wishes from Belfast, Northern Ireland.....great video!
Brian found some help for his hearing issue which is why he's back now :) Their new album Pwr Up is great!
These are a band that suffered but when they are at their best their concerts make more noise than an International Airport! And that’s just the Audience! Loud? H*ll Yeah!

Ay props for a young man for wanting to listen to the history!❤
Skip ahead and now there all back with a asskickin album 2020 PowerUp
You've got a good head on your shoulders young man. Being a rock star sure looks good. Until you think about it.
Because it’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll.
ill take rock star problems over my problems every day
A mellow but powerful at the same time tune by AC/DC is Ride On. Check that one out.
I think rock bands tend to have more tragic or interesting stories, because they tend to be living fast, raucous lives. The young lives of their childhood is often beset by the tragedies of divorce, poverty, or abuse. This probably gives them the grit in their music. You add young success, fast cash and tge drugs that often come with it, and all sorts of things happen. Accidents, injuries and arrests are common features of rock star lives.
I appreciate that you looked into their history. I actually didn't know all that, despite being a fan way back in the 80s.
Bon Scott was the lead singer originally, I wept the day he died. I wrongly thought that would be the end of ac/dc, then came Brian Johnson and rocked my school socks off.
“Rock stars are a different breed” yes sir they are 💀
Nice to see you learn about the history of them.
You missed. The arrest a Richard Ramirez AKA The Night Stalker in LA wearing n acdc baseball-style cap. The media went wild on that and the band. They tried to say AC DC where devil worshippers. So they dealt with that tragic situation as well rest in peace Malcolm job well done
Bon actually died of massive organ failure. A friend of his who lived in the same block of flats. Her or a friend of hers had parents who worked in a hospital where they quickly did a full body X-ray. He had the organs equivalent to that of a 60 odd year old man.
THIS DEFINITELY IS ONE TO WIKIPEDIA 1ST. To See HOW MANY ALBUMS THAT HE PLAYED ON IN LESS THAN ONE DECADE
1 person that you have Never played was My 1st guitar hero of the mid 1970s. His name was TOMMY BOLIN. He, sadly, passed away in December of 1976 of a drug overdose. I was 17 and his death Crushed My World for quite a While. I would LOVE to see/watch your reaction to "Dreamer" Studio version off of the Album "Teaser". Also, MY Favorite Tommy Bolin song is "Wild Dogs" also off of his 1st solo album, "Teaser". Also, a Great jamm song off of his 2nd solo Album, ''Private Eyes'', is the track titled "Post Toastee". Everyone gets to Show Off a Bit On "Post Toastee". IF you love songs with Great Dynamics from slow, sparse, beautiful and melodic to- Boom, rocking out in a flash, and then BOOM- right back to soft and mellow, then "Dreamer" is for you. I would recommend the regular studio audio of all. Thank you. I Love watching your Reactions!
When you read it, just Look at ALL he did in a Very Short Time. More than a Lot of Artists/Bands do in their entire Career...
@LFR Jojo Does That Make You Even a Little Intrigued??
Even after all that they still manage to release new music their most recent album coming out last November with Stevie Young filling in for Malcolm
Bon Scott is buried just near where I live - hometown hero!
48 years of Rock and roll and still going strong
something the video left out was their drummer, Phil Rudd, has been to jail.
“ Angus young is the lead singer I’m not that slow” that just made my day 🤣
46 years as of 2021 to be exact. In that time span...basically 3/4 of a normal human life expectancy, there's going to be some attrition.

AC/DC are one of the greatest Rock And Roll bands of all time....and it's truly amazing, especially after all they've been through as a band, that almost a half century later.....they're still chugging right on along and tearing the roof off of every venue that they play. They're LEGENDS....plain and simple. They can still BRING IT live almost 50 years later.....and that's saying something.
BTW.....I get how you could get Angus and Brian confused. Angus is the lead guitarist, and Brian is the singer..........But Angus is DEFINITELY A CO-FRONTMAN alongside of Brian and captures your attention throughout their whole performance. He's all over the stage, and never stops moving while playing. So being a Rap fan who is unfamiliar with the rock genre, I get how you could confuse the two names.
As always...Peace and Love from Baltimore, Md. U.S.A.
When your in a band as long as AC/DC you are bound to have some tragedy in your life.
The Young brothers are the two guitar players. Brian Johnson and Bon Scott and a Bob Johnson were the three ACDC singers. Johnson was there for barely the first year and booted.
Bon was left in a car, he may have been too hard to move, if out of it on either drink or drugs. but the real reason, I read, is that he actually died of exposure as it was winter and knowing Bon he may have had next to no clothes on, at least a bare chest. The truth of his death will probably never be released to the public. As the vid says, the world lost a legend that night and ACDC, in my view, their best front man and singer
When they come back on tour, you should definitely see them.
The rock and roll lifestyle was no joke, the drugs and alcohol consumed a lot of bands and performers over the years. And it still does sadly.
I can only imagine the hearing loss that Brian suffers from. I'm sure many of us fans have a bit of hearing loss just from windows up and volume as high as we can get it.
It’s not an AC/DC question! But check out The Runaways The Tragic Story of the Iconic band!
They didn't even talk about the drummer Phil Rudd. He went to jail on drug charges.
Bon Scott's cause of death was hypothermia. He was left in a car to sleep off a drinking session, during a London winter.
Re: Salt Lake City, there should've been more sweeping mandates after the stampede in Cincinnati. But generally, this is reminding me about how so much inspiration for musicians in the grunge and 90's alt. Genres came from the depression, addictions, and other turmoil that inspired some of their most poignant work. Seeing a video of Scott Weiland sing "Fall to Pieces" at Live 8 is just heartbreaking. Then, you remember the Chester Bennington was also at the Philly show performing the "Numb" remix with the rest of Linkin Park and Jay-Z.
Bonn Scott was lead singer when they first started, when he died Brian Johnson took over as lead.
Angus Young/ Lead Guitar, Malcolm Young Rhythm guitar/ Brain Johnson Vocals (Bon Scott was their singer from 74-80).
A lot of these rockers spent 8-10 months out of the year constantly going from one show to the next. It is grueling. Thus the alcohol and drugs.
I didn't know that Angus and Malcolm were so small.
It’s ironic that their stature is small yet their sound is so big 🤘🏻
Hi from the Uk, I’ve been an AC/DC fan for 40 yrs, started listening to them when I was 12, I love all rock music but then I like all types of music, if you wanna listen to something that might surprise you check out Gary Numan R.I.P. it’s epic but then I love all numans stuff, he’s so diverse with his music and was big in the late 70s n 80s with electro music, try it n hopefully you will enjoy, all the best Steve
Please react to "What The Final Year Of Layne Staley's Life Was Really Like". He is a singer for Alice In Chains. You already reacted to them twice.
Imagine spending many months and even years doing a tour.....performing your best every night....coming off stage with your adrenaline pumping and desperately needing sleep, alcohol and or drugs are what many end up using
Rock stars ARE a different breed, that's for sure. Many of them kinda bring it on themselves (heroin never did anybody any good man!) or the life they lead brings it on them (most of the ones who drink, do it to cope with either the fame or the schedule). Add the fact that AC/DC and a few others entered the FIFTH decade of their presence on the very front of the rock stage and you can see why most of them are facing huge health problems.
You have reacted to and are aware of the group called Iron Maiden. Like AC/DC, they too are around since the late 70s, being on top of their music genre for over 40 years (how many in this comments' list has LIVED as much? I'd guess less than half!). Unlike AC/DC, Iron Maiden never had to mourn the loss of an icon right at the moment when they were making it BIG, all their personnel changes were "calculated" moves or departures due to musical or other differences, so no drama of that sort. Add the fact that most of them take good care of themselves and you can see how they stay "afloat" in their mid-60s and still tour and make new music. I hope that the musicians who shaped my younger years are all fine and well and are active as much as they want to be. We've lost too many in the past 5-6 years, we need a "break" and we need a few more of our icons to be around a bit longer!
P.S. Not sure if you are coming back to a more active presence here, it's been around 3 months with no new videos, but I am still going to leave this here, just in case. When you come back, you should react to some "late greats", people you will not see live since they are dead already but were great while around. People like David Bowie (if you have seen the Martian, with Matt Damon, you have heard Starman, one of his greatest hits from 50 years ago! And there are many more!) or Lemmy, of Motorhead (Ace of Spades is a good place to start and Another Perfect Day a good place to finish!).
The Name AC/DC give the Sister to Angus and Malcolm!!!The Band its my Drug, my Blood and my Life!!
They missed this BIG ONE Phil Rudd On 6 November 2014 Rudd was arrested and charged with attempting to procure a murder, threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis, following a police raid on his home. The charge of attempting to procure a murder was withdrawn the following day] On 21 April 2015 he pleaded guilty to the remaining charges, with the exception of one of the two threatening to kill charges, which was dropped
👍👍A whole lotta rosie!!! 😁 For those about to rock!!!
They left out the Drummer Phil Rudd's self inflicted problems with the law! LOL
Anyways, You have done a good bit of AC/DC songs on your channel, it was how I found you originally, but most of it is stuff done live with Brian Johnson on vocals. You should find a song with Bon Scott on vocals sometime, Ride On or Night Prowler, or The Jack, maybe the studio versions so you know you got the right singer. No cap!
Great you find AC/DC. 👍🙂🇸🇪
The sad reality is that most of these rockers , on the outside looking in ,seemed to have it all, they seem happy and all of these things, but they are searching for some thing to fill the emptiness inside and they’re looking in the wrong places, and they are some of the loneliest people out there, celebrities as well, but for the most part, it’s musicians, there are so so many of them that died of alcohol and drugs whether it was accidental or intentional or whether it was a “suicide”, who really knows the truth, but the reality is, deep inside they are miserable and empty and unfortunately I don’t think many of them find what it really is that they’re truly looking for and what it is if they truly need and long for
brian did not retire, just took a break to get his hearing problem fixed
btw
Bon Scott had more raw energy and rasp.
Brian is great but he's not Bon Scott, sadly bon Scott died before they blew up with highway to hell which was the last record he did before he died.
Never saw this!! Thank you! ❤
07:00 wait for Phil Rudd bro 😝
Edit: wow they didn’t talk about phill Rudd’s murder. Drummer Phil Rudd tried morder someone (very distinct story). He’s been free for a couple years now and ac dc recorded their latest album shot in the dark as a good bye for Malcolm.
Thanks for these mini documentaries...i am learning too and I'm a rock fan of 50 years
Somewhere between 40 and 50 years, listen to "It's a long way to the Top"
Angus is probably the front man and Bon Scott is my favourite AC/DC lead singer.
I’m amazed they all aren’t deaf .the volume they play at were hectic
New reactions from AC DC? However, AC DC has been around for 50 years and just started their world tour in May. I have a ticket to Italy. 102,000 people Reggio Emilia Italy. acdc 4ever
I like your attitude..
Going where your not used too Is very adult.. and adventurist..😝🤘
For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)
Becauce you found no more louder Rock Band at AC/DC!!!!!Now its the New Album out Power Up and i think this its sooooooo fantastic Bro!!!!!!!!!Please you make a Reaction Video Jojo!!!¨THX from Swiss
Quiz; AC/DC have now released 20 record albums. All total, how many ballads or slow dance songs?
Pretty much all of the big hair rock bands went through drug and alcohol problems and bus wrecks and plane crashes. So many artists have died in small airplanes. Even Lisa Lopez from TLC died in a car crash. All the good ones die young. Nerds live to 100.
Another tragedy linked to them and another song for you relates to serial killer Richard Ramirez who wore an AC/DC logo baseball cap and was called the "Night Stalker" because of AC/DC's song "Night Prowler" (the song somewhat mimics his MO). The media linked the band to him and to the so called "satanic panic" of the 1980's. They had that controversy with which to cope, also. "Night Prowler" was sung by the first lead singer Bon Scott. It is one song of which I am not a fan.
props on this one though
Bon Scott was an alco... all aussies knew that. It has nothing to do with heroin.
In 2023 it will be 50yrs since AC/DC was formed as a group
I doubt you caught it at the end, But Axle Rose who took over for the singer Brian Johnson used to be the singer for Guns and Roses.
Thank you, JoJo!
