For a couple of years (1980-1982) it was THE top selling album in the world. Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" topped them with over 80 million copies sold in 1982.
No arguing with those (numb)ers ... talent wins out in the long legacy passed by word of mouth...unfortunately some geeks tap a few bars on a keyboard and get lucky one hit wonder bubble gum for brains and spend it all like a sneeze rag.🤔😅😎
AC/DC was the gateway drug. It started with listening to a song, then buying a t-shirt. But soon it wasn’t enough, and he had to move on to harder stuff.
Brand new singer of the group on this album after their front man died months prior. This song was actually written in memory of Bon Scott (the prior frontman who passed) True story. Bon Scott saw Brian Johnson here, at a bar one night singing with his former band. He went back to his band and told them if anything ever happened to him he wanted Brian Johnson to replace him. And here we have Part two of AC/DC because Bon Scott was bad ass also. To me a huge AC/DC fan they're a tie. It's not easy to find even bigger success for so many years after your lead singer dies. Well AC/DC defied those odds. And still rock today
Where I’m from back in the days in was band from the radio ! You had to list it to it late at night or early morning !!! Ha ha ha biggest selling rock band. When it’s good it’s good. Doesn’t matter what the institution says.
@Patrick O'Rourke I may find the album on YT here. I don't think I ever sat down and did the front to back with this one and I miss that stuff. So many albums I wanted back in the day are free to listen to now. Ooh playlist making time...
The amazing thing about Brian Johnson's singing voice is when you hear him speaking. You'd never guess he could do that. So sad that a couple of years ago, he was told he couldn't do any more live shows because if he did, he'd lose his hearing. Thankfully, they've recently produced another album and Brian still sounds great on it. My friend, if you want your socks blown off, you need to react to their 2009 gig at The River Plate, Argentina. There's never been a better rock concert in front of an amazing crowd of around 100,000 mad crazy AC/DC fans.
FUN FACT: That "scream- singing" that Brian does is what caught the attention of AC/DC's original lead singer Bon Scott a couple years before he passed. Bon had been in a club one night and saw Brian Johnson (lead singer) performing with his band Geordie. Later on, Bon Scott (original lead singer 1974- 1980) told Angus Young and his brother Malcolm about it. Angus Young is lead guitar and Malcom Young was co-lead/rhythm guitar (passed 2017). Bon told the brothers that he had seen this guy singing in a club and he was really good. Bon went on to tell them how the singer at the end, dropped to the floor on stage and was screaming. Bon loved the "Act". Brian Johnson took over as lead singer after Bon unexpectedly/tragically passed in 1980. In an interview a few years ago Angus and his brother Malcolm were telling that story and Brian Johnson laughed and said, "It wasn't an act". He was having an appendicitis attack and fell to the floor in pain, but just kept singing/screaming!! He was brought to the hospital after that gig and had to have an emergency Appendectomy that night!! Talk about FATE!!! As far as Angus goes.... He's the real star of AC/DC and fans worship him at their concerts. Check out more of their Live performances at River Plate and you'll see what I mean. The guy is a LEGEND and a good human being all around! Love seeing the AC/DC love here.... Rock on!! :)
@@DianaJG8 T.U. I wish I could remember where/what the interview was for so you all could see it too! It's really cute the way Brian and Angus kind of chuckle about it! But I figured I could at least share the story.... The interview is out there (video clip)... It looks like they might be back stage at an event or something. They're all sitting on a couch together... Glad you enjoyed the story!! :)
@@michaelgilbert197 - It's so sweet of you to give me those further details after already going to all the trouble that you did! I'll certainly keep an eye out for it with the clues you gave, but at least I got to see it in my mind with the wonderful story you relayed! Thanks again, Mike! Take care! ❤😊
The Back in Black album has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide, and is the second best-selling album in music history. As of December 2019, it was certified 25x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America
Just get this whole album, not a bad song on it. Just about everyone who was into rock in the 80's had this album. It's one of the best selling albums of all time.
I was in high school when Bon Scott died, and we all thought that AC/DC would suck with a different lead singer. Music distribution was much different in those days, and this song was premiered at 3 pm on a Friday afternoon on the local rock station. I was on a school bus, and it only took me about 30 seconds to realize this new guy might work out after all. Bought the vinyl that weekend.
The good news is AC/DC just put out a new Album they are dedicating it to Malcom Young the rythmn guitar player and Brother to Angus the lead guitar player. Malcom passed from Althiemers RIP his style was definately unique.
This was pretty much Brian Johnson being introduced to the world as the replacement singer for Bon Scott, and dang if Brain didnt hit the ground running with this track and album, cemented him to be the lead vocals ever since. Both singers are great, but that extra rasp Brian has.. it just works hehehe Great reaction man :D
Sin City, Dirty Deeds, High Voltage, Live Wire, Big Balls, Problem Child, Bad Boy Boogie, Riff Raff, Dog Eat Dog, Are You Ready, Flick of the Switch, Shake Your Foundations, Shot In the Dark, Who Made Who, Long Way To the Top, Rock n Roll Train LOTS of great songs!!

AC/DC - LEGENDS! They are always FULLY LOUD and in your FACE! They have so so so so much energy in concerts, it's unreal at how long they go, putting over 250% into every song on every performance. They are the hardest working rock band ever!
Always makes me smile when I see a young person grooving to what I grew up experiencing first hand. Rock and roll is a bottomless rabbit hole, and that's good thing! Cheers, bruv....
In case you didn't know, the 2 guitarists are brothers, Malcom and Angus. Angus is in the school boy outfit. Their older sister suggested he wear it on stage. Angus would come home from school and start practicing guitar without changing out his school clothes. The brothers, who were born in Scotland but were raised in Sydney Australia, started the band when they were teenagers in 1973. Their older brother George sang in the 60's group The Easybeats and helped them get started.
@@RobSquadReactions during concerts as he gets hot, he starts taking off the hat, jacket and shirt. Any live performance you watch, you can tell how far in the show it based on how much clothes he has on.
@@RobSquadReactions When the band was starting out, he took on this misbehaving schoolboy stage persona - he's a really small guy, and he was only 18 at the time. It stuck, and he's owned it ever since, regardless of his age.
On my way to my VERY FIRST AC/DC concert back in 1996, I was headed out of the hotel and walked past the hotel bar...and who was sitting there...Brian Johnson! The lead singer of AC/DC. I swear to you, he's the NICEST, most humble man on the planet. He took a picture with me and even waited 10 mins for me to run up to my room and grab my poster so he could sign it. Not a pretentious bone in his body...and he just hung around and talked to people for 20 mins. Mind you, this is right before he's going to give a concert and sing like that. The guy is a legend!
Angus Young, co-founder of the group, along with brother (the guy on the other side of the lead) cracks me up too.....every single time! I say the same....'there he goes!' Lol
Try anything from the live recording from "River Plate", you will be amazed. I suggest from that show "Thunderstruck", "Highway To Hell", "Hells Bells", .................
@@kyles5513 Well, that's your opinion, but for me, there is no better live recording from ACDC than River Plate. The crowd, the sound, it's just awesome. I know you want him to see Bon Scott ;-)
If you ever have a couple of free hours you need to watch the whole AC/DC concert at River Plate. The whole show is awesome but Angus's guitar solo is insane out on the end of the catwalk...
Speaking of shook...listen to You Shook Me All Night Long. TNT, Sink The Pink, Hells Bells, Highway To Hell, Shoot To Thrill, It's A Long Way To The Top, Jailbreak, For Those About To Rock, and Let There Be Rock. Those are the ones off the top of my head that I consider #1 songs, not sure if they made it to #1, but they're all deserving.
I have to correct comment that someone left: Angus does not wear the uniform because he was told he would never amount to anything, which is wrong he wears it because his sister (Margaret) suggested it and said that wearing his old school uniform would make him memorable. Malcolm his brother agreed and also felt that people would remember a kid up on stage playing the guitar than him in regular clothes. The first uniform that he wore was the one he wore to school and they wore them so that they would all look the same and no one would be viewed as rich or poor. When discussing the band’s name (Malcolm & Angus) noticed the AC/DC symbol (alternating current /direct current) on their sister Margaret’s sewing machine. They decided to replace the forward slash with the lightning bolt and felt that the meaning of AC/DC was exactly who they were as it described their power and passion. Angus’s performs the way he does because he tripped on stage once and didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of the crowd and he started shaking his head while playing and he continued to this day to perform like that. I grew up on their music as my brothers and their friends were all wrestlers and they would blast all their songs out of the wrestling room when they worked out or were preparing for competition. It was also the best music to sit around the park or go dragging around the main strip; everybody was playing this music, what memories.
Angus Young was told in school by a teacher that he would never amount to anything in life....that is why he wears the school uniform, thumbing his nose at that teacher!!
Oh, could be. I read somewhere that he wears the school uniform because when he was at school he needed to go to practise but had no time to change his clothes haha
6 months later I know, but it was Angus's sister who recommended he wear the school uniform on stage after watching him race home and straght to band practice still in his uniform.
Angus Young is the lead guitarist...started this band when he was 15 years old...he would come home from school and went to band practice wearing his school uniform..been his trademark since!
Watch the live show in Argentina from 2009, they sound amazing live i was there and was the best concert ive ever been! Definitely the best rock band of all times! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
You’ve only just begun, you’re going down one hell of a rabbit hole, I love watching you guys hear AC/DC for the first time, I seen AC/DC live in concert when I was 19 years old, I’m 60 now
In answer to your question, yes. They are always hyped. Always. You will never hear a ballad from these guys. They do what they do and they do it really well. The lead guitarist Angus Young isn't just playing, he's performing an exorcism.
Your shirt is actually an album! Called BACK IN BLACK! One of the greatest albums of all time. I have listened to AC/DC for 40 years and I still turn up the volume when they come on the radio.
If you like straight-forward, high-energy rock and roll songs about drinking, gambling, chasing women and having fun, this is the band for you. You're not going to get any 13 minute songs that make you question your own existence(not that theres anything wrong with that). These guys are awesome and have a huge catalogue. Also, the entire soundtrack to the Stephen King movie "Maximum Overdrive" is AC/DC songs. * My favorite off of that is "Who Made Who", a song that they wrote after a fight with a record executive who told them "We MADE you guys". Peace!
You've gotta try some older AC/DC with Bon Scott!! Fun fact: Brian’s only previous singing experience was with his church choir! Imagine him at your church belting out songs, lol.
The Back in black album was the first album with Brian Johnson as the vocalist after the bands original vocalist Bon Scott passed away RIP. The band was cofounded by brothers Malcolm Young (base guitarist) and Angus Young (lead guitarist). The band has over 20 albums produced and are known for non stop world touring and delivering live shows that have the crowds jumping from start to finish. Their stage setup and presence are second to none. I was lucky enough to go to the 1996 Ball breaker tour in Sydney and couldn’t hear for the next 2 days hahaha it was fantastic. They have just released a new album ‘Power Up’ and there is talk of another tour. This new album is a tribute to Malcom Young who passed in recent years. Brian Johnson is now in his early 70’s while the rest of the band members are in their late 60’s and they are still rocking hard. Another Aussie band whose singer uses the same vocal skill is Cold Chisel. The singers name there is Jimmy Barnes.
You should probably do 1 AC/DC song a month for a year, but then you’d have then you’d need a folder just for them. Rolling Stones, Elton John, Eagles, Police...etc. we’ll get you filled up! Check out 10 years after “I’d like to change the world” or Chicago “25 or 6 to 4 Live at Tanglewood.
If you happen to react to more AC DC try some songs from the original singer Bon Scott and notice the similiarities in their voices...Highway To Hell is probably their most famous song
Rob, mate, I'll tell you a secret. If you've watched just about any Hollywood blockbuster made in the last 40-odd years, especially MCU (and even more especially if Tony Stark appears), I 100% guarantee you've heard way more AC/DC than you realise.
Brilliant! This is the sound of danger! In the early 80s, was 15 years when I saw AC/DC in chicago with my friends. We knew every word to every song and rocked all night. Angus mooned us! 🌕 It was the Back in Black Tour soon after Bon Scott died. Sooooo FUN! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
If you want to hear the most angelic voice you ever heard then you have to listen to Evanescence - My Immortal the official video!! Grown men reacting to this have cried, let's see how you do!! It's a deep song that not many know the true meaning of the song so let's put your skills to the test!! One taste of this and you will DEFINITELY want more!!
Love them both Brian Johnstone (here) and the former lead singer Bon Scott before he passed - I grew up my teenage years mostly listening to Bon Scott but both are good
There aren’t any “wack” songs😂😂😂😂. There are 17 albums spanning over 5 decades. This album was their first with this singer Brian Johnson as a tribute to Bon Scott who had passed away. My guess your next song should be Let There Be Rock.
Back in Black is AC/DC’s signature song. I promise you’ve heard at least part of it in a movie or a commercial. And yes, they are always this hard. They’re a pioneer of heavy metal music. Brian Johnson is one of the best rock vocalists of all time if you ask me - at one moment he’s smooth as silk, the next gravelly and rough.
The main thing I think about when I hear this song is that, just before the pandemic, I was working in a kitchen, and this older black woman, who was mean and scary (sometimes she could be, but mostly not, just a no nonsense kind of person), thought that no one was around, but I caught her, she was shaking her bootie to this song. Also, this Gap ad -- ruclips.net/video/17bg2lr1LCY/видео.html
that is his actual voice. the band heard it when he pretty much interviewed to join, and they snagged him. he was, and still is perfect for them. ACDC, best thing to come from Australia since the Crock Hunter.
I was her on that first James video and I was happy to hear you open up to the rock genre. I've been super happy to see your growth in the short time since. I'm happy you have such great new journey of music to experience. #LoveAndPeace There's a lot to unpack with this band and I won't retype my 15 minute middle school presentation about the guys, but if you're interested I do have a playlist made up that goes through their career; though I should update it with the new album they dropped first. For the tl;dr Two brothers formed a band down under in '73 & rocked so hard. Angus Young wore the schoolboy uniform while shredding the devil out of his fingertips in the spotlight, while his brother Malcolm right behind him being a legend. Bon Scott was a "Rocker" through and through, with so much drip the had to travel the world to show it off. Bon died as he lived and Brian Johnson came in with this as his eulogy. The band carries on to this day, with with Malcolm's passing still a bit fresh. #LongLiveRockAndRoll #RockAndRollWillNeverDie\m/
I have said this shit since 1992... I CANNOT understand why no hip hop artist hasn't done a strait up, word for word, cover of this song. 💯💯💯 It would be the biggest song they ever put out!
This is the best band ever. I have been listening to them since the day they started. I'm not a concert goer but a few years ago my son's bought me tickets for my birthday. I can now die. Best thing anyone has ever done for me. I knew you would be a fan when I watched your first video. I seen your head start bobbing before you even knew.
Angus Young is easily one of the ten best rock guitarists of all time.
I have him at #1
Agreed!
Angus, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dimebag, Slash, Randy Rhoades, and Jimmy Page
@@David_Theisen Not to mention Carlos Santana.

“Back In Black” the album sold 50 million copies world wide and is the second best-selling album in music history.
For a couple of years (1980-1982) it was THE top selling album in the world. Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" topped them with over 80 million copies sold in 1982.

True story. Bon Scott saw Brian Johnson here, at a bar one night singing with his former band. He went back to his band and told them if anything ever happened to him he wanted Brian Johnson to replace him. And here we have Part two of AC/DC because Bon Scott was bad ass also. To me a huge AC/DC fan they're a tie. It's not easy to find even bigger success for so many years after your lead singer dies. Well AC/DC defied those odds. And still rock today

AC/DC will never ever ever ever do you wrong. Top to bottom and back up again.
For those about to Rock pretty much sums it all up. Bar none.
Try anything from the live recording from "River Plate", you will be amazed. I suggest from that show "Thunderstruck", "Highway To Hell", "Hells Bells", .................
No, live in Paris 1978 is way better.
@@kyles5513 Well, that's your opinion, but for me, there is no better live recording from ACDC than River Plate. The crowd, the sound, it's just awesome. I know you want him to see Bon Scott ;-)
The Jack, Whole Lotta Rosie,........
...T.N.T., Dirty Deeds...
Simply the best rock band in the world ever!
If you ever have a couple of free hours you need to watch the whole AC/DC concert at River Plate. The whole show is awesome but Angus's guitar solo is insane out on the end of the catwalk...
Three chords and the TRUTH! AC/DC lives on.
Speaking of shook...listen to You Shook Me All Night Long. TNT, Sink The Pink, Hells Bells, Highway To Hell, Shoot To Thrill, It's A Long Way To The Top, Jailbreak, For Those About To Rock, and Let There Be Rock. Those are the ones off the top of my head that I consider #1 songs, not sure if they made it to #1, but they're all deserving.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is a great song too.
I have to correct comment that someone left: Angus does not wear the uniform because he was told he would never amount to anything, which is wrong he wears it because his sister (Margaret) suggested it and said that wearing his old school uniform would make him memorable. Malcolm his brother agreed and also felt that people would remember a kid up on stage playing the guitar than him in regular clothes. The first uniform that he wore was the one he wore to school and they wore them so that they would all look the same and no one would be viewed as rich or poor. When discussing the band’s name (Malcolm & Angus) noticed the AC/DC symbol (alternating current /direct current) on their sister Margaret’s sewing machine. They decided to replace the forward slash with the lightning bolt and felt that the meaning of AC/DC was exactly who they were as it described their power and passion. Angus’s performs the way he does because he tripped on stage once and didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of the crowd and he started shaking his head while playing and he continued to this day to perform like that. I grew up on their music as my brothers and their friends were all wrestlers and they would blast all their songs out of the wrestling room when they worked out or were preparing for competition. It was also the best music to sit around the park or go dragging around the main strip; everybody was playing this music, what memories.
Angus Young was told in school by a teacher that he would never amount to anything in life....that is why he wears the school uniform, thumbing his nose at that teacher!!
Oh, could be. I read somewhere that he wears the school uniform because when he was at school he needed to go to practise but had no time to change his clothes haha
6 months later I know, but it was Angus's sister who recommended he wear the school uniform on stage after watching him race home and straght to band practice still in his uniform.
They’re always hype.
And Angus is a legend.
Angus Young is the lead guitarist...started this band when he was 15 years old...he would come home from school and went to band practice wearing his school uniform..been his trademark since!
That is so cool he is definitely very very talented and I was wondering what was going on with the uniform look
With his brother Malcom (left due to Alzheimer’s/Dementia, now deceased).
Watch the live show in Argentina from 2009, they sound amazing live i was there and was the best concert ive ever been! Definitely the best rock band of all times! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Catch Brian Johnson in an interview or on his TV show and once you hear his talking voice, you'll understand his singing voice...
You’ve only just begun, you’re going down one hell of a rabbit hole, I love watching you guys hear AC/DC for the first time, I seen AC/DC live in concert when I was 19 years old, I’m 60 now
In answer to your question, yes. They are always hyped. Always. You will never hear a ballad from these guys. They do what they do and they do it really well. The lead guitarist Angus Young isn't just playing, he's performing an exorcism.
Well, except 'Love Song.' Which Angus said he regrets the most out of all their songs. 😂
Untrue. Listen to Ride On by AC/DC. It's very subdued.
As an Aussie, AC/DC was the soundtrack of my youth. The brains to AC/DC though was the late great Malcolm Young on rhythm guitar.
His first album with AC/DC
Your shirt is actually an album! Called BACK IN BLACK! One of the greatest albums of all time. I have listened to AC/DC for 40 years and I still turn up the volume when they come on the radio.
If you like straight-forward, high-energy rock and roll songs about drinking, gambling, chasing women and having fun, this is the band for you.
You're not going to get any 13 minute songs that make you question your own existence(not that theres anything wrong with that).
These guys are awesome and have a huge catalogue.
Also, the entire soundtrack to the Stephen King movie "Maximum Overdrive" is AC/DC songs.
* My favorite off of that is "Who Made Who", a song that they wrote after a fight with a record executive who told them "We MADE you guys".
Peace!
in there mid 60s and still they are rocking out filling arenas xx you keep saying shook so acdc ( shook me all night long )xxxx
Led Zeppelin stairway to heaven one oh the greatest songs ever
I must say that I love seeing the younger generations finding the music I grew up with.
I do work on my grandkids musical education.........LOL
The entire Back in Black album is amazing!
Back in Black was my introduction to AC⚡️DC when the album came out. Never stopped listening!
You've gotta try some older AC/DC with Bon Scott!! Fun fact: Brian’s only previous singing experience was with his church choir! Imagine him at your church belting out songs, lol.
I suggest “Dirty Deeds”
@@jenniferandrews1917 Dirty Deeds is a good one.
Brian sang for a group called Gordie before ac/dc
The Back in black album was the first album with Brian Johnson as the vocalist after the bands original vocalist Bon Scott passed away RIP.
The band was cofounded by brothers Malcolm Young (base guitarist) and Angus Young (lead guitarist).
The band has over 20 albums produced and are known for non stop world touring and delivering live shows that have the crowds jumping from start to finish. Their stage setup and presence are second to none.
I was lucky enough to go to the 1996 Ball breaker tour in Sydney and couldn’t hear for the next 2 days hahaha it was fantastic.
They have just released a new album ‘Power Up’ and there is talk of another tour. This new album is a tribute to Malcom Young who passed in recent years.
Brian Johnson is now in his early 70’s while the rest of the band members are in their late 60’s and they are still rocking hard.
Another Aussie band whose singer uses the same vocal skill is Cold Chisel. The singers name there is Jimmy Barnes.
You should probably do 1 AC/DC song a month for a year, but then you’d have then you’d need a folder just for them. Rolling Stones, Elton John, Eagles, Police...etc. we’ll get you filled up! Check out 10 years after “I’d like to change the world” or Chicago “25 or 6 to 4 Live at Tanglewood.
Man, it’s great watching you discover all these new worlds of music… I envy you your first hearings of all these amazing performers!
If you happen to react to more AC DC try some songs from the original singer Bon Scott and notice the similiarities in their voices...Highway To Hell is probably their most famous song
Actually let's be honest Thunderstruck is their most famous song
Try. Jimmy. Barnes and. Johnny. Farnham. Also. Aussie. Icons
OMG! can not get over, this song came-out in 1980! Great Reaction video! Your a ROCK FAN now!!
Rob, mate, I'll tell you a secret. If you've watched just about any Hollywood blockbuster made in the last 40-odd years, especially MCU (and even more especially if Tony Stark appears), I 100% guarantee you've heard way more AC/DC than you realise.
Brilliant!
This is the sound of danger!
In the early 80s, was 15 years when I saw AC/DC in chicago with my friends. We knew every word to every song and rocked all night. Angus mooned us! 🌕
It was the Back in Black Tour soon after Bon Scott died. Sooooo FUN! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
If you want to hear the most angelic voice you ever heard then you have to listen to Evanescence - My Immortal the official video!! Grown men reacting to this have cried, let's see how you do!! It's a deep song that not many know the true meaning of the song so let's put your skills to the test!! One taste of this and you will DEFINITELY want more!!
Love them both Brian Johnstone (here) and the former lead singer Bon Scott before he passed - I grew up my teenage years mostly listening to Bon Scott but both are good
There aren’t any “wack” songs😂😂😂😂. There are 17 albums spanning over 5 decades. This album was their first with this singer Brian Johnson as a tribute to Bon Scott who had passed away. My guess your next song should be Let There Be Rock.
Back in Black is AC/DC’s signature song. I promise you’ve heard at least part of it in a movie or a commercial. And yes, they are always this hard. They’re a pioneer of heavy metal music. Brian Johnson is one of the best rock vocalists of all time if you ask me - at one moment he’s smooth as silk, the next gravelly and rough.
Hells bells and shoot to thrill, both awsome songs from the Back in Black album
this song was huge when I was roller-skating as an 18-year-old……the rink was packed when this song came on.
AC DC is hype all day long. And that lead singer sings like that normally. Catchy stuff.
The main thing I think about when I hear this song is that, just before the pandemic, I was working in a kitchen, and this older black woman, who was mean and scary (sometimes she could be, but mostly not, just a no nonsense kind of person), thought that no one was around, but I caught her, she was shaking her bootie to this song. Also, this Gap ad -- ruclips.net/video/17bg2lr1LCY/видео.html
Angus Young. Fantastic guitar player! He's been skipping (for lack of a better word) around the stage like that for decades! LOVE IT!!!
All their stuff 🔥 crazy man Angus never stops rockin 🤘
that is his actual voice. the band heard it when he pretty much interviewed to join, and they snagged him. he was, and still is perfect for them. ACDC, best thing to come from Australia since the Crock Hunter.
Yes!! They all kick ass!!! 😂 plenty of A+’s to be given.
So happy you're open to listening to some good old rock...Ac DC does it like no other!
Angus Young he just never stops rocking, 'can't stand still', the track that describes Angus best lol
When I was in school, AC/DC was one of the top bands. Everybody listened to them.
One of My all time favorite band. Angus is bad ass he is my favorite. He can play that damn guitar standing on his head.
AC/DC Back in Black was the first album..... Yes vinyl..... That I ever bought with my own money as a kid
Oh snap. You done did it now. 🤣🔥👏
I saw them in the first rock in Rio. I have the ticket with me til today. Hello from Brazil.
Angus Young channels Chuck Berry when he does that "duck walk" LOL... I - C - O - N - I - C !
AC/DC - shot in the dark (video) will be surprised they still rocking at their age
That was the late great Bon Scott singing. And Angus Young playing Guitar is a master and true legend
Shoot to thrill is a great song too! It's my favorite by them.
Can't see enough of Angus..he's mostly behind you . Brian Johnson has a style and voice all his own. Our beloved ACDC. R.I.P. Malcom Young. xx
Any track is great listening.
Seen this Fantastic Band w/ Bonn & The Singer today Greats👌✨🙏✨✌️💞
I got this album as a Christmas present when I was like 9 or 10 years old….. on 8 track tape! Listened to it all day and almost everyday since!
Isn’t it crazy over 40 year ago when Back and Blake album came out. Fan on the spot and ever since.
I was her on that first James video and I was happy to hear you open up to the rock genre. I've been super happy to see your growth in the short time since. I'm happy you have such great new journey of music to experience. #LoveAndPeace
There's a lot to unpack with this band and I won't retype my 15 minute middle school presentation about the guys, but if you're interested I do have a playlist made up that goes through their career; though I should update it with the new album they dropped first.
For the tl;dr Two brothers formed a band down under in '73 & rocked so hard. Angus Young wore the schoolboy uniform while shredding the devil out of his fingertips in the spotlight, while his brother Malcolm right behind him being a legend. Bon Scott was a "Rocker" through and through, with so much drip the had to travel the world to show it off. Bon died as he lived and Brian Johnson came in with this as his eulogy. The band carries on to this day, with with Malcolm's passing still a bit fresh. #LongLiveRockAndRoll #RockAndRollWillNeverDie\m/
I have said this shit since 1992...
I CANNOT understand why no hip hop artist hasn't done a strait up, word for word, cover of this song. 💯💯💯
It would be the biggest song they ever put out!
AC/DC Is Good Fun & happy to always hear...
This is the best band ever. I have been listening to them since the day they started. I'm not a concert goer but a few years ago my son's bought me tickets for my birthday. I can now die. Best thing anyone has ever done for me. I knew you would be a fan when I watched your first video. I seen your head start bobbing before you even knew.
