  • Happy New Year's Eve! I thought I'd finish this year off with a song about one of my personal favorite things to do: ballroom dancing. It was great to see AC/DC wrote a song about exactly this, and there's nothing I'd love to do more than hear about their "Big Balls".
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to AC/DC perform "Big Balls" for the first time.

    This song is not about testicles or ballroom dancing. It's all about giving a big middle finger to radio censorship. They played this unedited back in the day and it was fairly outrageous.
    Also, you MUST react to "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" now. It's another absolute gem of a song from this album.

    His vocal sounds that you are calling "sloppy" are basically how British aristocrats would be parodied in the 70's/80's (and maybe still today). Especially in words like "notariety" you hear it. You could probably get similar vocals or pronunciation if you watched Monty Python skits or other Brit-coms of the time.

    AC/DC have been playing for 50 years. Bon was only the lead singer for about 5 1/2 years before his death in 1980 and Brian Johnson took over. Yet Bon is so loved by their fans. It is a testament to his vocals, stage presence and charisma that he is so well remembered. As good as Brian Johnson is, there was just something about Bon.

    • @steffenjonda8283
      @steffenjonda8283 Před 5 měsíci +4

      Well, Brian took over in 1980 and he made ACDC a world rocking band. But ACDCs best songs came with Bon and they were MUCH better with Bon.
      It is so sad, but Brian is an excellent replacement. No disrespect to him. Also he is the finest rock star you could find.
      But Bon, well Bon was "the man". If he hadn´t died so soon, he could have been bigger then Freddie.

It was not a short drive, so we brought tapes to listen to on the way. One of the children had this album and we put it on. We all loved it, including my mom, who thought it was the funniest thing she'd heard.

      I can completely relate.

And yet, we found ways to listen to it whenever we wanted. It points to one of those truths of life: the more you try to suppress something, the stronger you make it.

    this was the very first album I ever owned, that I bought with my own money. I had babysitting money from watching my little brother and I asked my mom to buy this record (vinyl) for me. She went to the Tower Records closest to us and picked it up. When she got to the record store she asked the clerk if this album was appropriate for a pre-teen, lol. God bless the dude working the counter that day... he told my mom, "oh, yeah... he's going to love this!" I then listened to Problem Child, Big Balls, Love At First Feel, and Dirty Deeds over, and over... and over. I'm in my 50's now, and still listen to this record on vinyl. It's a newer copy, not the one I got in '81, but the feelings the album gives me are exactly the same! music is magic...

    The double entendre of song is so great. The other thing is they somehow got the record company to release this as a single. This played back in the day and still does on rock radio all the time. With songs like the title song Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Love at First Feel and this one this album is fire. This is why, imho, Bon Scott will always be the better singer of AC/DC. There is another song, completely different from the tongue and cheekiness, called Ride On you should check on. Bon has very subtle vocals on this one. It's a slow bluesy number that would really give you a great listen to his voice.

    The patterns that Bon Scott uses in this song, the accent and fading out in the middle of sentences and going up and down in pitch is mimicking the speech patterns of upper-middle- to upper-class Englishmen of yesteryear. You do still hear it occasionally these days, but it's getting less and less, but it's done in Monty Python, it'll be done in Dad's Army, I'm sure, Fawlty Towers, etc. I think Stephen Fry does it a bit as well, bless him.

Being 53 in age it brings me back to listening to record albums with friends and family. How you'd anticipate when that good friend would come to your house, sit down, and enjoy each others company while joyfully discovering something new. Having had so many of these songs as an integral part of my life for many years, watching you discover so many of them for the first time is like having that precious experience over again with fresh insight and renewed wonder. It truly is like having a friend pop by to share a moment of life, something that is missing today for so many. I've played guitar for many years, and the ability you have to passionately share your love of the voice as an instrument has inspired so many including myself to start vocal journeys of our own. I thank you, I appreciate you, and will continue looking forward to your visits. Much love to you, and all of us who get together here in 2024. 🐙😀

    Queen has songs like Fat Bottomed Girls and Bicycle Race, AC/DC has Big Balls, Van Halen had Hot for Teacher, etc.
    And some of these songs manage to deliver one of the most defining sounds of these bands too. The intro to Hot for Teacher, the drums and guitar, it's so utterly unique, technically impressive and if you heard it once, you'll remember it forever.
    Tenacious D took that part of all legendary bands and made a career out of it.
