The Back in Black album is still in the top 5 of rock albums ever. This song is a memoriam to the deceased original singer Bon Scott. After he died they came back in black.
@@trevoryoung4226 Interesting enough only one of them is actually from Australia and that's Phil Rudd the drummer, the rest are Scottish and English born.
@@burnz0021Mark Evans, their bassist for 2 years from 1975/77, before Cliff Williams is Australian born. The same goes for the majority of the drummers & bassists before Phil Rudd & Mark Evans, most of them were born in Australia. Except for the singer before Bon Scott, Dave Evans is Welsh born, while session drummer Tony Correnti who played on their first album High Voltage ( Aussie release only ) is Italian born. While Larry Van Kriedt, their original bassist was born in America
@@davidmccourt8174 I'm talking about the famous lineups not including past members, Angus, Malcolm, Bon were all Scottish born, Cliff and Brian are English born and Phil is an Aussie.
There were more than a few people who wondered if Brian Johnson (or anyone really) could replace Bon Scott. Talk about announcing your presence with authoritahhh...
Both Angus and Malcolm were born in Scotland but moved to Australia when they were younger. That is not an English uniform but an Australian school uniform. AC/DC formed in 1973 with the original lead singer called Dave Evans. Then a few years later he was sacked and Bon Scott became there lead singer up to until his death and then Brian Johnson took over in 1980
greetings from Down Under. the Youngs were born in Scotland & most of the family came to Autralia in 1963. there were 8 kids:- Angus (youngest), Malcolm, George (founding member of Easybeats), William, Alexander, John, Margaret & Stephen. Alexander stayed in the UK. Angus's signature schoolboy look was the suggestion & creation of his sister, Margaret, and when it fell apart from wear and tear, he used his uniform from Ashfield Boys High School in Sydney. Angus started playing about 5 or 6 yo & practised as soon as got home from school, without changing.
Angus’ sister made the outfit for him. He had tried other things, even dinosaur costume. His sister said, this is what you need. ☮️❤️🎼😎 BTW- ACDC is Australian.
You need to show Baby Duke the AC/DC video of Thunderstruck live at River Plate. The number of fans there was UNBELIEVABLE!! Reminded me of the crowd at the Monster's of Rock concert in Moscow in 1991..1.6 million when they stopped counting. AC/DC, Metallica and Pandora were there!!! EPIC!! 🎵🎼🎶🎸🎤🎙🎧🎹🥁🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
It's because he's so short in stature that he thought he wouldn't be taken seriously. So, his sister told him you need a gimmick. She made him a school boy outfit like the official outfit he wore to the school/academy he attended. And the rest is history!
Their lead singer had died… we didn’t know if we’d ever hear from them again. We heard they went to the Caribbean with a new singer. Then BOOM - Black in Black hit the radio, and the rest of the album is one of the greatest rock albums ever. Legends.
I remember the day this album dropped. A group of us from school, the "Ecology Club" were on our way to a state park for a rock-climbing adventure. 10 of us teenagers were riding in the back of a covered pickup truck, and the guy whose father was driving us up there (the teacher who organized the club was riding shotgun, had just bought this cassette that morning. He put it on for us, and we ROCKED out for 90 minutes or so to this album that no one had ever heard before, because we knew AC/DC was a kick-ass band. What an AMAZING time to be alive!!!!
I'm so happy that you are introducing your son to some of the greatest music ever! I saw this tour when I was probably younger then him. And probably one of the top 3 shows that I've ever seen.
Angus wear a Ashfield Boys High School uniform Which is in Sydney. AC/DC started in Sydney. It was his sister who said he should wear it. Nothing to do with a bet. It was also his sister who named the band.
Thank you for knowing the truth about him outfit! I don't where the bet came from but I do know where they got their name from and it was on their sister sewing machine the AC / DC and a lot of people called them devil worshipers ! Because they think the AC stands for Antichrist and they think the DC stands for devil's child and it doesn't stand for that!!!!!
Angus idolised Chuck Berry. And got his duckwalk move from him. Angus also considers Jimmy Hendrix as next level. The song Let thete be Rock has a Chuck Berryesque guitar solo to pay homage to the blues influence on Rock and Roll.
Beat me to it! Seems I remember that Chuck Berry had multiple silly walks he'd do back and forth across the stage. The most famous was his duckwalk, which was walking in a crouched position. Another of them was basically Angus's signature leg kick.
This is classic Hard Rock.. Aussie Hard Rock.. Every Aussie kid grew up with AC/DC.. II am a Gen X bass player.. I remember in 1980, when I was 8, our next door neighbour, at his sisters 21st birthday, dragged us to the "stereo" and showed us AC/DC.. All Aussie muso kids can play all their tunes haha.. R.I.P Bon Scott..
I was 12 when this album came out in 1980 and the moment it was released it was clear it was going to be arguably the best, and inarguably one of the best, hard rock albums of all time. And its sales as well as longevity speak for itself. Shoot to Thrill in Iron Man and endless plays of this song, Hells Bells and You Shook Me All Night speak for itself. And to think their original lead singer passed just prior to this album, potentially fatally wounding the band. But Brian Johnson brought the power and respect to AC/DC vocals that was literally perfect for BACK in Black - an ode to their late singer, Bon Scott. Great reaction gentlemen. Keep it up! 👍🏽
the best? not sure about the best, I bet a few hundred million Led Zepplin fans might disagree with you but AC/DC definitely in the top 3 bands of all time with Pink Floyd in that trio.
@Chloe-l5i Led Zeppelin come on stole half their hits songs put both bands together on stage side by side ACDC blows them to pieces especially with Bon Scott
Such a classic song by one of the greatest bands ever. Seeing you and your son experience this 2 days before my Birthday when I go play board games with my Gf and her boy feels like a good omen for me.
I love ACDC from my teens. I'm now 64 and my son and DIL gave me tickets to their concert. My son is also a huge ACDC fan, thanks to his mom's influence!
Not sure where you heard he lost a bet, but Angus Young of AC/DC wears a schoolboy uniform on stage because his sister suggested it as a unique stage look when the band was starting out, essentially using his school uniform as a way to stand out and create a memorable visual identity; it's considered a part of his signature style and has stuck with him throughout his career.
Love you guys and your appreciation for different genres of music!! Nothing better than listening to these bands back in the day around a tire fire in the gravel pits LoL
Its amazing to think that this was released nearly 45 years ago. It rocked then, and it rocks now. I was only a few years old when this came out. Still, I made sure my sons were brought up on this type of music.
AC/DC is an Aussie band. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Whilst members came from Scotland and England, they immigrated here, just as my family did generations ago. Doesn’t make them less Australian. RIP to Malcolm Young, the guy with the large guitar 🎸 Angus is wearing a Sydney school boy uniform, from Ashfield Boys High School, I believe. Great music from them, written by Brian Johnson, lead singer, Malcolm and Angus Young. The older brother of the Young boys was in one of the bands from the 1960’s, called Easybeats. His name was George Young. George was a great songwriter as well, and Easybeats forged a new era in Oz music, writing their own songs, firstly with Little Stevie Wright (lead singer of the Easybeats) and then with Harry Vanda. Not only did they write songs for themselves, they wrote songs for others including Stevie when he was solo, John Paul Young, their own band Flash and the Pan. The duo also produced music for AC/DC and Rose Tattoo (aka the Tatts), as well as others too. A classic is Evie Parts I II and III, by Stevie Wright. It is a three part trilogy of a story of boy meets girl, the surprise of falling pregnant, and lastly loss of the mother during childbirth. Just listen to the anguish Stevie portrays in the final verse. Magnificent. Oh by the way, if you like movies, and the Lost Boys, an Easybeats cover is on the soundtrack, sung my my favourite artist, Jimmy Barnes (who is heard singing 3 times in the movie) and INXS (pronounced In Excess because ie the word IN and then separate sound X and then S). The song is called Good Times.
Angus as an Australian school boy would go directly from school to practice with the band without changing , then same again going to a gig. It became his flag to wave while playing and still is.
Awwww love when the son comes on. Do him a favor and "bring him closer to the classics." Remember during this time, we all got along. It was the music that broke those barriers late 60s through the 9os. Music was open to all but a black people heard, " don't listen to that devil music." This music in this era helped us mentally get through stuff like child abuse. Yes it did. It's that many black teens would not break the rules, but I did and fl in love with rock and all other genres.
Lots of us old folks love their music and we fill stadium’s a few times over to see and hear them play. The youngster had a little head nodding going on so he likes it.
What's up krizz, I subscribed to your channel, man I wanna say it's cool and awesome you showing a couple back generations the music we grew up to in the 80s, heck even the 70s cause like you I think a lot of younger cats missed out a whole bunch on several things, the next us not even having a computer. 1st time I remember seeing a Apple computer basically looking like a big square box was at elementary school in the early 80s it's crazy how times changed ....💯
When AC/DC first started, everyone in the band was supposed to have their own costume. Angus' original costume was a knock-off of Superman. They decided that it didn't work, so Angus decided to wear his school boy outfit to the next gig and the rest is history. There was just something about the wholesomeness and the innocence of that costume contrasted with the hard rock and roll. Brilliant.
One of the first albums I bought back when I was a teenager in mid 70 -early 80's every song on BNB is awesome!!! my fav's hells bells, giving the dog a bone , and honey what u do for money!!! AC/DC true Bosses of R&R
57 year old Canadian rocker lady, don't know who you are but liked what you had to say and love that you're teaching your son different genres of music! Please show him one of my very favourite bands RUSH many many awesome songs but Limelight is a particular favourite!
Love the relationship between father and son Krisses/Krizzes !!!! Also, you are correct. The Beatles, who put England on the map as Rock Stars, were highly influenced by early American Rock Music like Elvis and Chuck Berry. Although AC/DC were Australian, they definitely could Rock with the Best of The Best. Music is so Universal as you are discovering more and more. " Keep On Keepin' On " as we used to say in the late 60's.!!!! ☺👍
I was crushed when Bon died. Been a AC/DC stan for decades. Yeah, Im old. They're my Special Ones. 🤘Only got to see them live 3x, in 3 different decades. Love that band. Rip Mal. 🙏
The Young brothers chose the title Back in Black as a sign of mourning for Scott, and to send him off with a powerful performance. Lyrics The song's lyrics celebrate the band's return and resilience, while also capturing a sense of mourning. Opening riff The song's opening guitar riff, written by Angus Young, is considered one of the most iconic in rock history. Album cover The album's all-black cover was designed as a "sign of mourning" for Scott. The band started working on the album just three days after Scott's funeral. They refused to use any of Scott's work on the album, not wanting to seem as though they were profiting from his passing. Legacy The album's sound quality is so perfect that studios use it to check the acoustics of a room.
AC/DC. Sound track to my youth, and this song in particular has special meaning. Couple of weeks ago, I sat by my phone waiting for tix on sale for their show in Vancouver, Canada. Wanted to take my two Boyz (23 and 15) n hubby for an epic night. Got in virtual line. Just 7G and change ahead of me. My turn. I waited. And waited. And waited. And ended up timing out. 😭 Sold out by the time I got back in, and resale tix upwards of $800+ each. So much for that Christmas gift... 😢 If they're in your area, GO! They put on an EPIC show!
Hi old codger here (64) when I see a kid with a t-shirt I ask them. "Quick what's your favorite song"a lot of them look at me and say I've never heard them then I will give them some songs to listen to. Great reaction rock on
When the album came out I got a lot of old guys tease me because my "rock heroes" obviously "went both ways", so you can also ask them if they prefer either, or are equal appreciators lol.
First saw AC/DC when they played at my High School in 1975. The first time I heard this song was my Driving instructor played it as we drove through the mountains.
was in middle school and boom boxes became "the thing" to have in the late 70s then AC/DC music was a must hear with a box on your shoulder...Hells Bells sounded amazing right up against the ear and 40+ years later hearing still works contrary to the teachers and parents ;)
Back in the 90's I had two car stereo stores and I had a black guy as manager of one of them . He was a hard rocker and demoed systems for black folks with hard rock like AC/DC . It was fun to watch their reaction to the music . Most started by just looking at each other , but by the end they were all patting their foot and shacking their head to the rock .
Seen a few of your videos. More impressed each time by your attitude and mentality. Not everyone can see the beauty in music across genres. Props to being a good man and great dad. Props to being a fellow child of the 80's. The best era to ever exist, except for the constant fear of nuclear war!
You’re absolutely right. The blues from the 50’s influenced a lot of the rock music that came from the British Invasion in the mid 60’s. I was in my early teens and you can’t imagine how thrilling it was to see the bands on tv because a lot of people didn’t have tv yet in the 50’s. So the technology came together with a a musical era that y’all will never forget 😊👵🏼☮️🥰
Kizzz, the members of AC/DC were born in Scotland then his family moved to Australia, Back in Black came out in 1981 the debut album with Brian Johnson aft in lead singer Bon Scott died the UK from alcohol poisoning ! I like your appreciation of AC/DC and you need to check out some of their songs from the mid 70's, thanks you do great work!!!
When I graduated boot camp, my chief RDC put Thunderstruck on over the speaker, and my shipmates and I formed a giant circle in the middle of the division (the assigned room for our squadron). AC/DC was always on in my house growing up. You should check out some more, like "Highway to Hell", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Fly on the Wall", as well as "Thunderstruck"!
"BinB"🌑 is AC⚡DC's tribute anthem to their lead singer: RIP-Bon Scott as Brian Johnson's 1st song w: 'em after Bon🤘had pre-picked Brian🤘in '79 to replace him: as Angus Young'd told Howard Stern, & Brian'd told him about Bon seeing him laying on stage w: appendix burstin', screamin' out his lyrics live, ;butt almost not alive, so Bon had told Angus & the boys: "Brian would d*e for his band & their fans, so he won't fail our band & our fans either!"
@@reneezie Dave*Evans had been their first lead singer until Bon Scott replaced him, & so Brian Johnson's their third lead singer, w: G'N'R's🥀Axel Rose sub'in' for Brian in 2016! & *Dave Evans's live with AC|DC video in '74 is on RUclips: "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl?"!
@@reneezie& RIPride Malcolm*Young, their bass guitarist, who was the older brother of their lead guitarist Angus Young, until *he'd passed away from a stroke, from dementia.
I watched a documentary on ACDC once and the story of his school boy outfit was that Malcolm his older brother had friends in a garage band and Angus would run home from school everyday to try and play with them he was so excited to try that he never changed clothes after school and would just strap up his guitar and start emulating his big bro and his sister who named the band ACDC told Angus just to wear the outfit on stage bc he never took it off and first gig playing it stuck as people would laugh at him and say he looked cute with it on but he kept wearing it and later people qould always expect him wearing it so she made him multiple school boy outfits to wear on stage
No no no, Krizz...the schoolboy uniform is what Angus wore to school, and he came home from school one of the days, started playing , and his sister said he looked cute, why not keep the outfit?...it's just something you can remember about the band.....and the name "AC/DC"?...his sister was sewing him more schoolboy outfits, and one of the brothers read the tag on the back of the sewing machine, and saw the words "AC/DC", referring to the type of electrical current that we all use...ta-da!!!..there ya go, and I am so glad you like these guys....I heard them in 1978, and have been hooked ever since....AND, like you, my 2 sons are addicts as well, and we all saw them together in Toronto, 2009....LIVE???????.....OMFG!!!!!!
Thus is a tribute to Bon Scott. The original singer. This was the album that reintroduced AC/DC to all us disapproving hard cores. Nobody could replace Bon. We were all happy again when we heard Bryan rocking out. I was 17.
That little guy with the "guitar bigger than him" is Malcolm Young, the driving force behind the driving, open chord rhythms. Back in Black was a comeback album after original front man Bon Scott passed away. Tons of great stuff from the albums with Bon too, I would urge you to dive in. A lot of the best Rock bands featured brothers that jammed together since they were little kids. Angus and Malcolm, the Abbott brothers (Pantera), and the Van Halen brothers for examples. Lots of great music out there that will give the youngsters a new outlook
Angus and Malcom Young. They're brothers playing the guitars and they both just ROCK with such power and authority through what many may consider to be very simplistic musically speaking.
For my 18th birthday in 1977, my aunt got me tickets to see Aerosmith, my favorite band. But then Angus came across the stage, AC/DC opened for Aerosmith. Lets just say I was in shock. AC/DC has been my favorite since then by far. They always rock the F**K out!!!
This song was a tribute to Bon Scott after his passing when Brian just joined the band as lead singer - Bon Scott was a wild boy - died in his car from Alcohol poisoning or related. This is my growing up music in Australia - left school in '78 when they were at their best. The school outfit is Australian not from UK - All schools including public schools not just private wear uniforms here (gets rid of a bit of the bullying etc when they all wear a uniform - rich or poor) By the way they are not from the UK they are the Australian rock from the 70's, 80's we were exposed to. The family immigrated when they were very young children from Scotland. Trivia - the bands manager for a time was Angus and Malcolm's older brother who was in an Australian band in the 60's 'The Easybeats' - their biggest hit - 'Friday on my Mind'
My whole career started with THIS song and a $100 amp/guutar. I was 18, started a cover band and played to 13 million live in 4 countries, opening for Cool & The Gang, Donna Summer, The Beach Boys, Kenny Loggins, America …all from THIS song!
Hey Kriz. (Hope I spelled that right). Angus wore the schoolboy uniform because he was still in school when he started playing. And he definitely emulated the godfather of rock and roll Chuck Berry. AC/DC recorded several of Chuck's songs.
The sound engineer that worked on the Back in Black album, Tony Platt, said that Brian Johnson's voice was so powerful, he blew several several speakers in the studio out when he would hit the top of his range.
The Back in Black album is still in the top 5 of rock albums ever. This song is a memoriam to the deceased original singer Bon Scott. After he died they came back in black.
Absolutely
The Hells Bells intro just hits different
Best selling rock album of all time.
Yeah #1 selling rock album ever
It is my least favorite album by them.
Angus Young loves Chuck Berry, I believe he is on record as saying that Chuck Berry was always his number one rock guitar hero growing up.
ACDC IS AUSSIE...WE KNOW HOW TO ROCK
They sing 2 of chuck Berry songs

AC/DC is Australian Rock. Founded in Sydney in '73. This album was released in '80, it's the first album after Bon Scott died of Alcohol poisoning.
I thought he threw up in the back of his car and choked on it when he was drunk. Either way, need to listen to a Bon Scott song also.
Yes Aussie Rock founded in the UK, Young brothers from Glasgow Scotland, Brian from Newcastle UK and Bonn Scott from Forfar Scotland
There were more than a few people who wondered if Brian Johnson (or anyone really) could replace Bon Scott. Talk about announcing your presence with authoritahhh...
Angus, Malcolm & Bon Scott were Scottish and Brian Johnson from the North East of England
❤❤💯

That guitar looks huge on Malcolm because he was only 5'3'. Angus is even shorter. Both are music writing geniuses.
Angus’ sister made the outfit for him. He had tried other things, even dinosaur costume. His sister said, this is what you need. ☮️❤️🎼😎

Not true, nice story. The blazer was his nephew's.

i remember you seeing you at all those shows.
@, really???🙄

A group of us from school, the "Ecology Club" were on our way to a state park for a rock-climbing adventure. 10 of us teenagers were riding in the back of a covered pickup truck, and the guy whose father was driving us up there (the teacher who organized the club was riding shotgun, had just bought this cassette that morning.

What an AMAZING time to be alive!!!!
😂 when you son said he could pull off the outfit! The confidence to be young, I love it!!

It was his sister's son's blazer,
Sadly now the Young's home in Burwood has been demolished! 🥺
There is no disputing that Chuck Berry influenced Angus!! ❤️✌️
The bloke who invented the first guitar influenced the second guy that picked up a guitar
@russe19642 true. And Chuck Berry influenced Angus .
And Angus is the first to admit it.
AC/DC is an awesome group, they appeal to every generation and their music will be around for a very long time. Definitely stood the test of time.
Absolutely incredible album. My father passed away in April and one of his requests at his service was to play this song. Which we did😊
Angus idolised Chuck Berry. And got his duckwalk move from him. Angus also considers Jimmy Hendrix as next level. The song Let thete be Rock has a Chuck Berryesque guitar solo to pay homage to the blues influence on Rock and Roll.

Much better than the Gorilla and Zorro outfits he previously wore
I was in 7th grade when Back in Black came out, 1980ish? I got a kick watching your son listen for the first time. Thank you guys!
Back in the late 80s and early 90s when I was in high school the individuals that wore band tshirts that didn't know their music were called, Posers.
Good music travels through the ages, and it catches everyone's ear....this band is TIMELESS!!!!
It's in my top 5 favorite songs , I love watching reactions especially to this video. ☮️💜🤘🔥 School outfit from Australia.

And Aussie bands took influences from both America and England…. So you are right on the money with that.
@@kazz3956not AC/DC they are pure Australian Rock n Roll , the way Malcolm & Angus wanted it , watch the video Blood & Thunder you will understand
@@richardwebb5633 I’ve watched it a few times
Let's turn the young man into a fan. This band is just a bar band that had a sound that brings every power chord to perfection.
Back in Black album was released in 1980
Angus as an Australian school boy would go directly from school to practice with the band without changing , then same again going to a gig. It became his flag to wave while playing and still is.
This is awesome man!! Love ya got Lil Chris on there!! 👏🏻😎✌🏻
Awwww love when the son comes on. Do him a favor and "bring him closer to the classics." Remember during this time, we all got along. It was the music that broke those barriers late 60s through the 9os. Music was open to all but a black people heard, " don't listen to that devil music." This music in this era helped us mentally get through stuff like child abuse. Yes it did. It's that many black teens would not break the rules, but I did and fl in love with rock and all other genres.
It was awesome being 10 years old and this being your favorite new song on the radio. I remember 1980 and 1981 very well.
Lots of us old folks love their music and we fill stadium’s a few times over to see and hear them play. The youngster had a little head nodding going on so he likes it.
That journey will be awesome to see you share the classics with your son... I'll be there.
I saw a couple episodes from you guys and I liked but as soon as I seen ACDC back in Black I subscribed 😊
What's up krizz, I subscribed to your channel, man I wanna say it's cool and awesome you showing a couple back generations the music we grew up to in the 80s, heck even the 70s cause like you I think a lot of younger cats missed out a whole bunch on several things, the next us not even having a computer. 1st time I remember seeing a Apple computer basically looking like a big square box was at elementary school in the early 80s it's crazy how times changed ....💯
Saw them in 1980, during this tour. My ears are still ringing...👊
As a boy in 70's Australia, Bon Scott captured me instantly. They were our adrenaline. 🤘
Same here, watched Countdown every weekend just to see Acca Dacca. They were the days!
@davidmccourt8174 They sure were. 👌
What a great observation. The resemblance to Chuck Berry movements and playing style.
When AC/DC first started, everyone in the band was supposed to have their own costume. Angus' original costume was a knock-off of Superman. They decided that it didn't work, so Angus decided to wear his school boy outfit to the next gig and the rest is history. There was just something about the wholesomeness and the innocence of that costume contrasted with the hard rock and roll. Brilliant.
One of the first albums I bought back when I was a teenager in mid 70 -early 80's every song on BNB is awesome!!! my fav's hells bells, giving the dog a bone , and honey what u do for money!!! AC/DC true Bosses of R&R
57 year old Canadian rocker lady, don't know who you are but liked what you had to say and love that you're teaching your son different genres of music! Please show him one of my very favourite bands RUSH many many awesome songs but Limelight is a particular favourite!
Love the relationship between father and son Krisses/Krizzes !!!! Also, you are correct. The Beatles, who put England on the map as Rock Stars, were highly influenced by early American Rock Music like Elvis and Chuck Berry. Although AC/DC were Australian, they definitely could Rock with the Best of The Best. Music is so Universal as you are discovering more and more. " Keep On Keepin' On " as we used to say in the late 60's.!!!! ☺👍
My husband spent 30 years on Navy submarines. Every time I drove him to the pier to deploy this is the song he played. It will be in my heart forever.
I was crushed when Bon died. Been a AC/DC stan for decades. Yeah, Im old. They're my Special Ones. 🤘Only got to see them live 3x, in 3 different decades. Love that band. Rip Mal. 🙏
yeah, this is my least favorite album. If you want blood, and High Voltage, are so good, then they became blah.
The Young brothers chose the title Back in Black as a sign of mourning for Scott, and to send him off with a powerful performance.
Lyrics
The song's lyrics celebrate the band's return and resilience, while also capturing a sense of mourning.
Opening riff
The song's opening guitar riff, written by Angus Young, is considered one of the most iconic in rock history.
Album cover
The album's all-black cover was designed as a "sign of mourning" for Scott. The band started working on the album just three days after Scott's funeral. They refused to use any of Scott's work on the album, not wanting to seem as though they were profiting from his passing.
Legacy
The album's sound quality is so perfect that studios use it to check the acoustics of a room.
AC/DC. Sound track to my youth, and this song in particular has special meaning.
Couple of weeks ago, I sat by my phone waiting for tix on sale for their show in Vancouver, Canada.
Wanted to take my two Boyz (23 and 15) n hubby for an epic night. Got in virtual line. Just 7G and change ahead of me. My turn. I waited. And waited. And waited. And ended up timing out. 😭
Sold out by the time I got back in, and resale tix upwards of $800+ each.
So much for that Christmas gift... 😢
If they're in your area, GO! They put on an EPIC show!
Hi old codger here (64) when I see a kid with a t-shirt I ask them. "Quick what's your favorite song"a lot of them look at me and say I've never heard them then I will give them some songs to listen to. Great reaction rock on
When the album came out I got a lot of old guys tease me because my "rock heroes" obviously "went both ways", so you can also ask them if they prefer either, or are equal appreciators lol.
Luckily you haven't run into me yet,I buy most of my teeshirts from the salvos or red cross opportunity shops
First saw AC/DC when they played at my High School in 1975. The first time I heard this song was my Driving instructor played it as we drove through the mountains.
was in middle school and boom boxes became "the thing" to have in the late 70s then AC/DC music was a must hear with a box on your shoulder...Hells Bells sounded amazing right up against the ear and 40+ years later hearing still works contrary to the teachers and parents ;)
Back in the 90's I had two car stereo stores and I had a black guy as manager of one of them . He was a hard rocker and demoed
systems for black folks with hard rock like AC/DC . It was fun to watch their reaction to the music . Most started by just looking at
each other , but by the end they were all patting their foot and shacking their head to the rock .
Seen a few of your videos. More impressed each time by your attitude and mentality. Not everyone can see the beauty in music across genres. Props to being a good man and great dad. Props to being a fellow child of the 80's. The best era to ever exist, except for the constant fear of nuclear war!
You’re absolutely right. The blues from the 50’s influenced a lot of the rock music that came from the British Invasion in the mid 60’s. I was in my early teens and you can’t imagine how thrilling it was to see the bands on tv because a lot of people didn’t have tv yet in the 50’s. So the technology came together with a a musical era that y’all will never forget 😊👵🏼☮️🥰
Kizzz, the members of AC/DC were born in Scotland then his family moved to Australia, Back in Black came out in 1981 the debut album with Brian Johnson aft in lead singer Bon Scott died the UK from alcohol poisoning ! I like your appreciation of AC/DC and you need to check out some of their songs from the mid 70's, thanks you do great work!!!
Every time I hear him sing, I think, "Wow, Elmo is finally making music. And it's good."
When I graduated boot camp, my chief RDC put Thunderstruck on over the speaker, and my shipmates and I formed a giant circle in the middle of the division (the assigned room for our squadron). AC/DC was always on in my house growing up. You should check out some more, like "Highway to Hell", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Fly on the Wall", as well as "Thunderstruck"!
They toured Europe this past summer. Arenas were 100,000 seats. Shows were selling out within hours.
"BinB"🌑 is AC⚡DC's tribute anthem to their lead singer: RIP-Bon Scott as Brian Johnson's 1st song w: 'em after Bon🤘had pre-picked Brian🤘in '79 to replace him: as Angus Young'd told Howard Stern, & Brian'd told him about Bon seeing him laying on stage w: appendix burstin', screamin' out his lyrics live, ;butt almost not alive, so Bon had told Angus & the boys: "Brian would d*e for his band & their fans, so he won't fail our band & our fans either!"
It was their FIRST lead singer, the dude with the guitar that’s larger than him is Malcom Young who passed a few years ago from dementia.
RIP Bon...you were truly a rockstar.
@@reneezie Dave*Evans had been their first lead singer until Bon Scott replaced him, & so Brian Johnson's their third lead singer, w: G'N'R's🥀Axel Rose sub'in' for Brian in 2016! & *Dave Evans's live with AC|DC video in '74 is on RUclips: "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl?"!
@@reneezie& RIPride Malcolm*Young, their bass guitarist, who was the older brother of their lead guitarist Angus Young, until *he'd passed away from a stroke, from dementia.
That is the song Highway to Hell you are talking about
I watched a documentary on ACDC once and the story of his school boy outfit was that Malcolm his older brother had friends in a garage band and Angus would run home from school everyday to try and play with them he was so excited to try that he never changed clothes after school and would just strap up his guitar and start emulating his big bro and his sister who named the band ACDC told Angus just to wear the outfit on stage bc he never took it off and first gig playing it stuck as people would laugh at him and say he looked cute with it on but he kept wearing it and later people qould always expect him wearing it so she made him multiple school boy outfits to wear on stage
No no no, Krizz...the schoolboy uniform is what Angus wore to school, and he came home from school one of the days, started playing , and his sister said he looked cute, why not keep the outfit?...it's just something you can remember about the band.....and the name "AC/DC"?...his sister was sewing him more schoolboy outfits, and one of the brothers read the tag on the back of the sewing machine, and saw the words "AC/DC", referring to the type of electrical current that we all use...ta-da!!!..there ya go, and I am so glad you like these guys....I heard them in 1978, and have been hooked ever since....AND, like you, my 2 sons are addicts as well, and we all saw them together in Toronto, 2009....LIVE???????.....OMFG!!!!!!
Great to see a dad listening to music with his lad.
Peace to you
Yes Dude, Angus got his socalled "Duckwalk" from Chuck Berry. He was the first one to do it.
We need a deep music history 101 into the classics with Chris Jr 😂
Thus is a tribute to Bon Scott. The original singer. This was the album that reintroduced AC/DC to all us disapproving hard cores. Nobody could replace Bon. We were all happy again when we heard Bryan rocking out. I was 17.
Classic AC/DC
Angus used to leave school and go straight to rehearsals so he was still in his school uniform. It then became his trademark. xx
Glad to see you introducing him to absolutely great music
That little guy with the "guitar bigger than him" is Malcolm Young, the driving force behind the driving, open chord rhythms. Back in Black was a comeback album after original front man Bon Scott passed away. Tons of great stuff from the albums with Bon too, I would urge you to dive in. A lot of the best Rock bands featured brothers that jammed together since they were little kids. Angus and Malcolm, the Abbott brothers (Pantera), and the Van Halen brothers for examples. Lots of great music out there that will give the youngsters a new outlook
I’m honestly so mad I sold my AC/DC concert Ts from the late 80s and 90s but glad those memories live in my head 😊
Being alive as a teenager in the 80’s was rockin! We had the best music 🎶
They lived 10km from where I live, they are legends in Oz! I still have my scrapbook from school in 1975.
I love how he said he's never heard of Aerosmith!
In hundred years most will be forgotten,but not ACDC. Even now it's the sound for teenage boys, Aerosmith is a bit glamsy
AC/DC instantly takes me back to Friday and Saturday nights in high school cruising the ave or keggers in the canyon hanging out with friends
Saw them 2 times. 1981 Dallas 1990 Dallas. Still have my acdc dollar bills. Texas
Played to over 82k in Dublin august this year. Saw them in 81 - 6k there.
Their music swings.
I love you for this Krizz and Jr too.
Rock on baby 🎸 😂
Yo put him on Aerosmith through Eminem “Sing for the moment/Dream on
Hey krizz junior good to see you guys loving this classic ✌️✌️
He loves music
@KrizzKalikoOfficial Is he going to be a legend like his dad
Angus and Malcom Young. They're brothers playing the guitars and they both just ROCK with such power and authority through what many may consider to be very simplistic musically speaking.
Show your son the Live at River Plate Concert -- any song.
Angus’ playing is what’s called “feeling the music!”
My very first concert! I was 14!
For my 18th birthday in 1977, my aunt got me tickets to see Aerosmith, my favorite band. But then Angus came across the stage, AC/DC opened for Aerosmith. Lets just say I was in shock. AC/DC has been my favorite since then by far. They always rock the F**K out!!!
Awesome Baby Duke was in this reaction, hahaha!!!
The song was released in 1981--the titular song of the first album after the death of Bon Scott, and the debut of Brian Johnson as his replacement.
I'm glad to see the younger generation is checking out the oldies
This song was a tribute to Bon Scott after his passing when Brian just joined the band as lead singer - Bon Scott was a wild boy - died in his car from Alcohol poisoning or related. This is my growing up music in Australia - left school in '78 when they were at their best. The school outfit is Australian not from UK - All schools including public schools not just private wear uniforms here (gets rid of a bit of the bullying etc when they all wear a uniform - rich or poor) By the way they are not from the UK they are the Australian rock from the 70's, 80's we were exposed to. The family immigrated when they were very young children from Scotland. Trivia - the bands manager for a time was Angus and Malcolm's older brother who was in an Australian band in the 60's 'The Easybeats' - their biggest hit - 'Friday on my Mind'
My whole career started with THIS song and a $100 amp/guutar. I was 18, started a cover band and played to 13 million live in 4 countries, opening for Cool & The Gang, Donna Summer, The Beach Boys, Kenny Loggins, America …all from THIS song!
And It's iconic! I can't even imagine how much it would go for if they auctioned it off!! 🤯🤯🤯
Hey Kriz. (Hope I spelled that right). Angus wore the schoolboy uniform because he was still in school when he started playing. And he definitely emulated the godfather of rock and roll Chuck Berry. AC/DC recorded several of Chuck's songs.
The sound engineer that worked on the Back in Black album, Tony Platt, said that Brian Johnson's voice was so powerful, he blew several several speakers in the studio out when he would hit the top of his range.
First band I saw live in Concert , june or july 1980 Max Bell area Calgary Alberta Canada . Tickets were about 10 bucks :)
