Back in black is about black tar heroin.... bon wrote about sex and drugs .. hit the sack lyrics is obvious at least to me what it's about... RIP bon the genious!!

Midnight Love is definitely the very bottom in my album ranking of Marvin Gaye. It’s easily his most cheesy and dated-sounding and I’ve always hated Sexual Healing. But yeah, great video as usual, Edwin! 🤗🖤

My Fav ACDC album and fav of any band is Let There be Rock! Think Bon and Brian are both Great.

Why does my Spotify say Senile Animal was released in 2005? When this passionate fan said 2006? I am going to google, Bing, and Duck Duck go.

En español.....Por supuesto que Bon escribió algunas letras del álbum....no creo que todo pero, sólo debes leer la letra de you shook me all night long y verás que es una canción típica de Bon. Bon ha sido mucho más creativo que Brian y en adición AC/DC tiene y ha mantenido toda la identidad de Bon.

soviet invasion was awsome

Oh yeah, and later on in my live sound engineering career, I had the chance to actually work with some of my idols. Fishbone, bad brains, Steel Pulse, GWAR, Ween, and the Melvins. I mixed monitors for them. Each monitor mix had a corresponding meter in waving needle form on the meter bridge. The console was a Yamaha 2408/M. Buzzo wanted a moderate amount of his vocal mic in his wedges in front of him. The ZERO mark on the meters was at about the 1 o’clock position. His vocal, when he sang, brought the needle up to about high noon, straight up, pretty normal but loud. When his guitar kicked in hard, the sound coming from 15 feet behind him was enough to push that same vocal mic level up last 2 o’clock!!!!!! Never witnessed before or since. That means that the guitar volume was such that it was blowing into his vocal mic much, much louder than his voice at one inch. In technical terms of loudness and decibels, that is astonishing. But wait, there’s more. He kept gesturing at me to turn UP his guitar in the sidefill, which was essentially a small P.A. unto itself. More. More. More. Yesssss. Buzzo. The Melvins. “It’s Shoved”, right in front of me, at a level that churns the gut. For me, it was juuuuuuuuust right. Oh blessed day. Blessed day. A highlight of my career. And that’s saying a lot. If I do say so myself. The epic shows and moments of outrageous glory I have lived could fill a book. I’ll do a forced stop. Here.

So it’s about 199……2, by process of elimination. Houdini had not been released. I was having a standard impromptu house party for about twenty of my closest freaks, I mean friends, some of us were tripping, but most people think I’m perpetually tripping and thought so waaay before I ever tried it. Of note, some friends decided it would be cool to have a cool group trip and let me in on the fun. Afterwards, while they were all tripping their faces off, running around naked on the beach in the middle of the night, I was tracking ghost crabs scurrying into their burrows and using the angle of the moon and the tidal positioning here in Charleston and had determined that the human species would not exist past the year 2500, and that was being generous. Afterwards they asked about my trip. I shrugged my shoulders and told them I had felt that way before. Because I had. Anyway, at the party scene, we were listening to the White Zombie album, the slow psychedelic crunchy rifftastic song with the Arabic prayer calls that just took you on a journey and then promptly dropped you off the edge of the couch. A couple of dudes said I should check out two bands who were distinctively sludgy, a term I associated with an engine with lacking oil change discipline. The two bands were The Melvins, and Cathedral. BOTH are at the top of my list to this day. Cathedral being an English doom metal band, no, THE DOOM METAL BAND, unabashedly acknowledging that Black Sabbath was their number one if not sole influence and that any comparison would be embraced into eternity. The Melvins were, well, like no other. Then there were those first two albums. The Cathedral album was an EP called Soul Sacrifice. Right off the bat, a hard driving riff monster that no one can deny as a simply exemplary rock and roll anthem, doom masterpiece, and groove laden vehicle into the cosmic soul within us all. Then there was Bullhead. With what looked like a pineapple and various fruits on the cover. Very simple. “It’s Shoved” became both the first bassline and drum beat I could play at will and seemingly from within another part of myself that had been set aside just for that. Weird. Because I didn’t play bass or drums at that moment. I play bass now, but at that point, no. To this day, quite strange. “If I Had an Exorcism”, was just by its title, a kindred soul. Because I needed one. Weekly. Ok daily. The Melvins and Cathedral and bad brains and Carcass are all parts of my almost daily exorcism requirements, kinda like the “recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals”. But in sonic form. Bullhead. Soak it in. Do it again. Do not rinse. But repeat. Do not rinse. But repeat. Do not rinse. But repeat. Boris likes a lot of little things to kick!!

Love the ACDC comparison and the Steel Wheels props outro.

your style reminds me of ralph viera (dr fukk) who runs the almost human channel. nuts & bolts; simple, honest critique; open to criticism; well-researched and genuinely passionate about music. glad to have stumbled onto your channel...

Interesting how peoples different musical palates lead to differing rankings and appreciation of the trees' catalogue. For my personal taste, Dust is my number 1 record by the trees and one of the best albums to come out of the scene. Sweet oblivion is my number 2, and last words is number 3

A lot of people did heroin. Just because someone did heroin doesn't mean they are a bad person. John Lennon did heroin. Half the Chili Peppers and all Guns and Roses did heroin. Don't be so judgemental.

saw them last year with boris. earplugs definitely essential.

Great review for 2 albums I love!

This album makes Bridges to Babylon sound like 'Exile'

People their albums with Jello and the one with Mike Patton are great.

stanley by far the best

LMAO the way I randomly found Stag from one of the firsts I listened to and liked it so much lol

LOVE crazy nights!!

Great stuff gents

I love ACDC. Bon Scott is my all-time favorite frontman in rock. I read every word of Jesse Fink's book and appreciate it. It helped me form a good opinion of what may have happened. Most of us were not there, so we can only speculate. I feel like Bon was writing Back in Black when he passed. However, I don't think much of it was used. The Young brothers edited a lot of what he wrote on previous albums from what I heard as well. Brian Johnson may have had access to some lyrics, but I think he did most of the legwork with his own lyrics, melodies, and singing style. All I know is that I love Brian for saving the day. He sang his absolute heart out on BIB and I could not think of a more fitting way to pay tribute to Bon. This topic used to really bother me, but I have let it go. None of my post is on a factual basis. Only the opinion of a single fan. I do feel Bon in a few songs on BIB. I do not get that feeling from any other album afterward. Long live ACDC and thanks for the video.

i know their music for a while now and man do i love it. i'm curious why clowns of the apocalypse isn't able to be found on youtube or spotify. is it the good old boring copyright thing?

Absolutely outstanding video!! Prince is and was a supreme artist, and I honestly think it’s going to take about 150 years for people to really get their heads around what a genius he truly was. He kind of wrecks it for other people. He would be a genius if he were just a songwriter, or a singer, or a producer, or a performer, or a guitar player, or a piano player, or a drummer, or a bandleader, or a multi-instrumentalist session guy. But he was all of that in one, and so much more. I mean, arguably the greatest male pop vocalist that ever lived. As a songwriter, forget it…the only person to combine macro and micro to such virtuoso effect other than Bob Dylan. In terms of his prolificacy and depth of his work, all while being able to write top 10 hits and tour stadiums, he really does stand alone. Nobody, and I mean nobody bridged pop craft with maverick artistry muse chasing like Prince. Unbelievable. Two things, though I had already had Dirty Mind for several years, I remember flipping channels late at night in the mid 90’s, and there was a slow motion skiing scene in some movie that caught my attention, and what’s that? A cover of When You Were Mine? So yeah, that’s how I watched Hot Dog! Another thing, I bust out laughing when Ian talked about “Michael is an entertainer, Prince is an artist”, because that is nearly VERBATIM what I said in a pretty heated argument with a co-worker who once worked with Quincy Jones and was very partisan Michael. Prince’s peers really weren’t Michael and Madonna, if you look at the whole scope of his work they were Zappa, Miles, Duke Ellington, Hendrix, Dylan, The Beatles etc. Oh, and one more thing…this is his third album, and he had absolutely MASTERED album sequencing. The whole awesome opening volley of side one, then going into the more “normal” songs, as kind of an aural rope-a-dope, to then catch you totally off guard for the sustained, perfect side long funk suite of side two…totally incredible. One of the best album sides ever. Plus, that like The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, James Brown and very few others that he could make perfect statements as singles and then go and make such beautiful full length album statements. Anyway yeah, I loved this video, watched it twice, and yet another example of why this is my favorite channel on youtube!

Every time I mention Melvins to people, they're not interested. "Melvins? What's that? Sounds lame". I have to play the songs for them first and wait for them to ask what it is lol.

Album is great! But the performance in this video is funnier than fucc! 😂 Great energy!

Fantastic Review! Anything that Involves You and Ian is Gonna be Fantastic! And I’ve watched this several times already! 😁

My favorite band besides Cirith Ungol

Ricky Fataar is the drummer on River Song!😉...Good review of both! The real dedication and passion that it deserves!👊👍🌻🙂

Outstanding episode, gentlemen. Both informative and humorous at the same time. I appreciate the effort that you put into it. Keep up the terrific labors of love!

Where did you get that jacket ?

Eddy and Wadzilla hell yes!!

Well done my guys! Thanks for the shout out too. Nice to see people who know the subject matter discuss some insightful details! Bravo!

Phenomenal episode gentlemen

I fucking love Dirty Mind, but also agree that the mid 80s with the revolution are his absolute pinnacle. Great discussion, I hope you'll have Ian on more often, since you guys have great chemistry, enjoyed this a lot!

Let’s party like it’s 1999. Not a real fan of Prince. Great musician he even did a Super Bowl halftime show. You probably didn’t know that

came for album review, stayed for psychotherapy evaluation

your analysis of this band including the songs, the vibe, the perception (which as you mentioned by the early 80's would've been perceived as an old hippy heavy rock group), was absolutely spot on man. respect.

I heard Bob Scott singing back in black years ago 😊 if you know his voice you know it’s him I like both Bon and Brian

Ok no I write in a wrong story sorry to all who read my text 🙃🙂🤕

This is the Story what I have read and there was real good story of that Bon SCOTT 4ever I know it 🇫🇮😜🤪😇💙💙😁

Killer review. Loved tarantula heart

I signed the Melvins to Atlantic back in 1992. I was involved with the making of Houdini, Stoner Witch and Stag. They were my first band I ever signed as an A&R guy. I’m the luckiest guy ever to be associated with the Melvins legacy. I agree with a comment I saw in this thread “they’re the greatest band ever that nobody knows about.” I actually like that, those who know, know. Buzz and Dale’s eclectic musical taste is what makes the band special, Buzz will try anything and has. The Melvins are an American treasure and true high art and I’m fortunate to know them.

Most arguments can have a stale mate also . Why start it ? Chill is another. New managed situation is gonna be. Till the end . And you know it.

I always thought UYI1 was superior, but 2 has the songs that keep you coming back! It's def a deeper album and balances the firey energy of 1 out nicely. At the time I thought every tune was great even if they dipped a little, but now I agree they could've shaved it down to 24 songs or so. Here's my attempt to do that... 1st album: •Right Next Door To Hell, Dust In Bones, Live & Let Die, Don't Cry, You Could Be Mine, Double Talkin' Jive •November Rain, Perfect Crime, Garden of Eden, Get In The Ring, Dead Horse, Coma 2nd album: •Civil War, 14 Years, Yesterdays, Dont Cry(alt lyrics), Breakdown •Pretty Tied Up, Knocking On Heavens Door, The Garden, Locomotive, Estranged, My World(secret song) Bside album...Lose Your Illusions or Bad Apples EP??.. Bad Obsession Back Off Bitch Shotgun Blues You Ain't The First So Fine Bad Apples Don't Damn Me

Loved this album then and love it now. A flawed masterpiece describes it perfectly! At the time I didn't see a difference from Steven to Matt(I was 11) but I can see it now for sure. Matt's style never bothered me tho, imo it gave Guns a more "metal" edge which I like. After Izzy left they def couldn't find a direction songwriting wise. Axl wanted to become NIN and Slash wanted to do AFD again and without having Izzy as a springboard they never recovered. What a waste!!! And you're right, Izzy def softened his edges a bit with the Ju Ju Hounds. Prob just reflected his mind set at the time. Good for him! Them not having Izzy involved in the "reunion" b/c they didn't wanna pay him equally blows my mind. Just one more thing in the GnR universe that makes no sense lol. Anyways great review man, I'll be checking out more of your stuff.

Such an awesome video!! These latest two albums are incredible, and I still cannot figure out which one I like more, though Tarantula Heart is such a fully composed and amazing piece. It Won't Or It Might is my favorite song on either of the two albums though, absolutely beautiful. I really love how you break down the Miles Davis / Teo Macero influence too!

Eddy, Eddy, Eddy, of course Bon contributed to the lyrics on BIB. Angus has admitted it in several interviews over the years, `yeah, bits and pieces`. Ian Jeffrey, their road manager said the same thing and also said that Plug the roadie who was in the studio when BIB was recorded said Mutt Lange also helped out. Wouldn`t surprise me if Mutt linked everything together, Bit of Bon, bit of Brian, bit of Angus and Malcolm, bit of George and Harry and his own efforts to achieve the most incredible result. And no one can take Brian`s vocal performance away it was phenomenal. Cheers.

This guy looks like Bon Scott.
