- They say rock and roll is dead but if you are still sitting in your mom's basement with just your underwear on headbanging to AC/DC’s Thunderstruck, you are keeping rock and roll alive.
AC/DC’s unique rock sound has often been often described as hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, but the band from down under simply called their sound rock and roll. AC/DC is without a doubt one of the greatest rock bands of all time, who have sold out packed stadiums and sold over 200 million records worldwide.
But apart from all their success, the band has faced a lot of tragedy throughout its storied existence. Let's take a look at the tragic real-life story of AC/DC.

Brian amen! It breaks my heart when I think about Malcolm and Bon not being here. But they will always be with all the fans in heart.
Amen brother
Rest in Peace
I am honoured to be named after Angus young, he lost so much but he gave everything else out to his fans, thank you angus
He also inspired Beavis. Cheers!
angus wood bs
angus wood just because your name is angus doesn’t mean your named after angus young
Josh Maybe he has been told that he was named after Angus Young?
That is a fkn respect tribute right there! Treasure your name, your family and do your best! If it is in music even better =D
Angus also lost his brother George in 2017. Now all of Angus' brothers are deceased. He only has one sister left. I believe there were 7 siblings in total.
There is another two brothers and a sister still alive. Angus is not on his own.
Ok, but the report I saw said that he and one sister were the only ones who remained alive.
All good. I knew there was a tribe of them, and I thought if Angus was the last left, it would have been news, but nothing was said, so I went looking :)
Angy has Margaret right now
?
Brian Johnson is a total class act. He is also the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
Larry Drozd So is Angus. I met him in '93. He was staying on Hayman Is. Australia. (Expensive,exclusive resort). He wore regular clothes didn't demand anything and went to the staff quarters where we had a jam one night. He was fucking awesome!!!
Not surprising....I know people who have met him and can back up your story no problem. :)
Larry Drozd I have the photos. We all did silly shots, then we put the cameras away and just jammed. He was /is a regular fun guy.
Used to be lead singer in a group called geordie, but acdc asked noddy holder to join them
Bon was a great guy too, and honestly I prefer him as a frontman but Brian is an incredible replacement and a fantastic showman and singer
I got nine lives...cats eyes....abusing every one of em and running wild!
Cat size*
Smittinator. No. He doesn't say cat size.
James Ragsdale is it eyes by any chance? xD
cats eyes
yup
I ❤️ AC/DC
You’ve be thunderstruck
Idk thunder means lightning and lightning means blood
And if you got blood we got it
AC/DC; Four normal and down to earth guys just playing rock n' roll. A band loved by millions of people. Bon, Brian, Angus, Malcolm, Cliff, Phil, Stevie, George and Chris... Thank you all for your mighty contribution to music. You will be missed.
Axl... you did ok
Wait, four? AC/DC has always been a five piece band...
@@catjudo1 ,, you missed the irony.
@@jurgentreue1200 right over his head.
Must be to high to count .... 5 is the magic number 😈😈😈
@@catjudo1 Don’t rock the boat… he says (4)!
“Remember Bon?” That must of hit deep
Yeah really was
One of the best bands ever!
Teri Lefevers they are not that good
They are the greatest rock band.. Greater are just Beatles, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin
Tim Because Sniffing blue again Timmy?
over what??
Tim Because arnt that good? Youre fuckwhit mate
AC/DC do not do music they do anthem, 100% pure Rock, more time passes and losses are inevitable
hey
I must admit that this is the truth about AC/DC shows since I saw them for the Ballbreaker tour. My friend and I almost got crushed however who could blame the people for wanting to get closer to the band.
Seen them in concert many times and they always put on one hell of a show and met them backstage..very nice, down to earth guys.
Wow that would be awesome to meet them. I love AC/DC!!!
Lol, I've seen them more than any other band. My ears rang for days from the canons firing the 21 gun salute.......I salute you
You were lucky, on BLOW UO YOUR VIDEO and WHO MADE WHO, They rarely met any fans. (I worked both tours as a production crewperson and hung with Stevie some.)
For all the problems the band had over the years in my opinion they never missed a beat. They will be one of my all time favorite bands
I'll never look @ Axl Rose as Brian's replacement. Brian has been AC/DC since 1980. Fans love to bring up, well Brian replaced Bon Scott. But that was different. The sad passing of Bon, left the band no choice but replace him.
Agree'd. But saying I'm not in AC/DC.... I have no say in this. =(
I haven't followed AC/DC since Malcolm's passing and Brian's retirement, so I don't know how Axl is doing with the band. I assume, or at least hope, he's grown up enough since his GNR days not to pull any of the spoiled brat antics he was (in)famous for back then. I highly doubt Angus would put up with it. Axl has been spared washed up has-been status for a little longer, and he'd be wise to remember and appreciate it.
Axl hasn't done any of his 80s and 90s antics. He fits in pretty well with ACDC. he can hit the high notes of Bon and the low notes of Brian. Axl did well during the tour. hell, the band was able to play Touch Too Much live, for the 1st time thanks to Axl so there's that.
LUNITIC WILL So how do the band's British and Australian fans feel about them recruiting an American?
Noddy holder was asked when bon scott passed
Possibly the greatest band of all time.
Everyone likes AC/DC. Never in my entire life have I heard a person say otherwise. Their music just speaks volumes and it makes YOU want to put the volume to the max.
I will never forget the first time I saw ACDC live and Angus Young's unending energy. Bloody brilliant!! R.I.P Malcolm Young!!
Fgf
FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK, WE SALUTE YOU!!!! 😎🤘
AC/DC is and will always be the best band ever.🎸❤Greatest rock band in the history!
One of my best memories is of seeing AC/DC when Bonn Scott was alive and well✝️ so sad to lose him so young. Glad I'm old lol. RIP Malcolm and Bonn💖
Story ended short! Brian came back after having ear procedure. Released a new album which hit #1 in Australia & was well received world wide. Nothing tragic here still rocking after almost 50 years!
Rest in Peace George, Malcolm, and Bon💜
I got hooked on AC/DC back in the 70's, when Scott was still the lead man. Doubted they could keep going after his death, but boy was I wrong. Back In Black, their first album with Brian, is still the 2nd best selling album of all time. Second only to Michael Jackson's Thriller.
ACDC rocks forever
Every band has their own story.
They loved their fans and visa verse. With out their fans and they DID everything for them they probably wont be around. They ARE the greatest rockers around and are NOT devil worshipers either.
Acdc is orwasthebombwhyaxle rosethou
I loved Angus Brian Johnson's out duck that what axle rose
AC/DC actually has a new album in the works from what I hear, and Brian Johnson is back in the band!
Last I heard (in 2019) was that they were doing a tribute album for Malcolm and that Brian had been researching ways to to tour with the band again and still protect his hearing.
You miss Phil Rudd murder charges and Cliff Williams retirement from music industry.
Cliff departure must be a natural reason, old ages. But drunks and smoking are part of their health problem.
No one died, it was a hired hit, and he never went to jail so it could have been BS for all we know...... More tragic is how ugly he got between 2010 and 2015
Bill & Bill`s Gentlemans Club you are correct there was no murder it was all heresay
The procure to murder charge was dropped.
Bill & Bill`s Gentlemans Club meth is a helluva drug.
I hope AC/DC does anpther tour around australia!! I go to the same high school angus and malcolm went to here in sydney R.I.P MALCOLM YOUNG
fivedockboyz hi mate I’m in the district I’ll go there to
R.I.P Malcolm and Bon. You will both be missed and will never be missed
Regardless of whether or not Brian Johnson comes back, he's absolutely right... he had one HELL of a run!
AC/DC is such a fantastic band! Great/informative video thank you👍
An amazing band, Thank U for all your energy, and bringing it every time. We Salute U!
Saw AC/DC in '75 just before they made it really big. Small venue- amazing!
I have seen every band that was anybody from 1973 until 200 ? AC / DC was the best rock and roll and band I ever saw , and I saw them at least 4-5 times !!! They just got better and better , they never let you down , head bangin , hard rockin , for start to finish , no ballads !
My favorite band. I saw them in S.F., Mountain View, Oakland, and San Jose, California. Moments I’ll never forget...
Thanks for your kind info.
AC/DC is so much more than just a band to me, and their songs mean so much more than just "good Music"... I grew up listening to them and I will pass away while listening to Highway to Hell. These guys will always be in that special part of my heart, which I think about every day of my life. Long live AC/DC, long live Rock N' Roll \m/
This is depressing to watch man
Thanks for sharing
Rest in Peace Bon Scott. I miss you so much, and the honor and pleasure of meeting you will never be a part of my life. I cry sometimes, and you're everything my inspiration has come from. Heaven, Hell, wherever in between. If all or none exist, I don't care where I end up that day as long as you and the rest of the gents are dishing out the music. Wherever you may be, just remember every dog has his day.
And now they have another album coming out
Power up releasing 11/13/2020 last time I checked and I’m super excited!
As a long time ac/dc fan this broke my heart
I was lucky to see them on August 2015. AC/DC was the band that got me into heavy metal.
Saw them in the early 90's in Nashville TN , my ears are still ringing , would I do it again YES
Me too Razors edge in Freedom Hall Johnson City Tenn. Ears rang for two days
Have you done one on Axl Rose/Guns n Roses? Their story is messed up too☹️I love them
I was lucky to see AC/DC with Bon Scott IN 1977 in Austin Tx at The Armadillo World Headquarters. They opened up for Moxy. AC/DC blew them away. I still remember sitting s few feet from the stage. Back then... nobody stood up, we just sat on the floor, joints were flowing from person to person. Back then...pitchers of Budwiser were $1.00. That will stay on my mind for the rest of my life, Nothing will last forever, everything must come to an end. I still say vocalist Marc Storace from the band Krokus sounds way better the Axle Rose and should take his place. There is a band called Bonfire, the vocalist Claus Lessmann is a reincarnation of Bon Scott. Check it out, just google Bonfire, you will be amazed ✌
I like your comment! When I played at bars all over the Bay Area. When setting up for our gigs seemed those at the bar drinking never gave us the time of day. Till we started rockin with some kick ass AC/DC.
Old enough to have watched Bon perform. Great show.
I was there on the arena floor in Salt Lake City. The band stopped playing and all the lights came on and Brian did all he could to get the crowd to back up because some people were hurt and they needed to get emergency personal to them. I tell you true, I'm 5'10" 185lbs when this happened. It was GA on the floor, no chairs. So when the crowd moved, it was like a single living entity. My arms were pinned to my sides my feet were off the ground and it was hard to draw a single breath ! Hot as hell and being crushed by the bodies around you. I'm a combat Veteran and that was one of the most terrifying nights of my life. The lights were left on and suddenly Angus appeared in the center of the floor on a round scissor lift and soloed as it slowly lifted in the air. I commend AC/DC for getting help and the asap help of this insanely huge crowd. And then keeping everyone's attention on finishing the show and not rioting. It would be ten years before they came back in 2001' Stiff Upper Lip tour. I was there as well. I look forward to seeing them 2019 now Brian, Phil and Cliff are back. Let there be rock !!
3 people killed that night.... they stop after Sin City if i remember correctly.... this is the audio when Brian announced the tragedy czcams.com/video/3CP6aOAGuL4/video.html
Our uncle went to there first show which was when the band was still in HIGH SCHOOL yeah you read that right!
This was on my recommend and I love it
If it was me I would set back a take it easy. You all have done what you set out to do, giving the people Awesome Rock N Roll music..
I cried through this whole video. Love AC/DC!
R.i.p. Malcolm I dream of you often. I always have a good day after the dreams cheers.
Omg thank you!!!!!! I loveeee AC/DC
Love every last one of you even a big part of my life growing up as a teenager was mad angry lonely I could turn up the tunes ACDC and drowned everything out thank you so much for everything love all and everyone of you
The biggest tragedy is Axl Rose joining AC/DC.
i dont agree that it was a tragedy for him to step in a help finish the tour, but an acdc album being recorded with axl is difinitely a tragedy.
I want to hear it before i start judging.
Combination of Angus's riffs and Axl's voice actually might be pretty good.
Oh yeah, comparing Bon and Mal's death to Axl Rose stepping in. Completely equal things.
Axl Rose is a Prima Donna who shows up late for shows, throws tantrums on stage and storms off cheating fans out of their hard earned money.
AC/DC is better than that.
some dude , I'm pretending Ive never heard axl before when I put a new CD in.
I'm not a current fan but ive heard a lot of pre- ac/dc Bon and Brian that never woulda made me think these guys will lead my favorite band. Ac/dc has always raised the bar. Angus knows what he wants in the sound and I'm on board to try it out. I dont want Angus to disappear and I like Steve and wanna hear what else the guys do. And I really dont want a bon or Brian sound alike and axl doesn't , so that's a plus for me.
I want to hear about Boston, Electric Light Orchestra, and Foreigner please
Toto
Then why are you watching a piece about AC/DC?
Those bands are lame
Nancy, You have GREAT taste in music!
A hell of a band! Saw them years and years ago, probably the first time they ever played Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom and it was with Bon and a night I will never forget! Stood on top of my chair and rocked my ass off all night long!
Much love and respect to these men we love yall and your legendary music rip bon Scott
It's a long way to the top if want to rock'n roll Anthem -AC/DC made it 👍👍👍🤑💨
My grandad went to school with Brian Johnson 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Malcolm and Bon always in our hearts. Miss you two... rip.
They've all had a great run! I've seen AC/DC a few times live and personally met Brian Johnson. A great group and a great group of guys...... Real guys
Ac dc will never be ac dc without brian johnson
AC/DC ISN'T AC/DC WITHOUT SCOTT ANYMORE. BRIAN IS A GOOD SINGER, NOT MORE. BON IS A LEGEND.
Acdc Will Never Be Acdc Wth Out Bonn Scott,
@@martingerner3543 whatever
I have yet to meet someone that doesn't have at least one ac/DC song in their library of music!
One thing I loved about acdc they never had to change their style of music they remained on top just being a good old rock band that was awesome, and no guitarist out there can play with the passion that Angus had he is one of a kind
I grew up with iron maiden metallica slayer megadeth testament pantera thrash metal ac.dc I was never fan of ac.dc but over the years of drink n bob hope (dope) I started to listen to ac.dc & that's when I realized what id been missing amazing riffs great lyrics now I'm a massive ac.dc fan I seen them in Sydney 2010 live at the opera house they blew my mind away as the song says it's a long way TO the top if ya wanna rock n roll & THEY ROCK N ROLL
regardless of history, I would never call the story of ACDC tragic....... I mean, we still talk about one of the most legendary bands of all time...... you cannot imagine the amount of people who would still swap their lives with lives of these rock gods......
Yes. Tragic is such an overused word
The damages are too brutal 💔
I worked as a crew person on both Blow Up Your Video and Who Made Who tours. I knew Steve better than the others. They tipped very well.
Aa teenager, I was in Salt Lake City at the Salt Palace in 1992 right in front on the left side. I had lost my friends somewhere in the back and worked my way upfront. You see we all love AC/DC, and when the crunch started you literally could lift your legs and be held upright then the air seemed to disappear, and fear seem to take over. I was surrounded by a bunch of good guys, that had the foresight to see I was in over my head so they pushed me up above their shoulders then I crawled on the top of people that helped me get to the stage and where I was pulled out by stage crew. Later that night I found out a couple of people lost their lives. It was so easy to get caught up in the moment. But at the time you just do not realize the dangers. Thank you AC/DC and crew for reaching out and helping me get to safety. It was a great concert aside from the loss. Unfortunately, by the time they returned 10 years later I had already moved to San Diego with my family, or I would have gone again to see them.
Whats tragic about being small...Rest in eternal peace Bon & Malcom..😈
Favorite. Band always will Rest In Peace Bon Scott and Malcom Young
A lot of things happen in 40 years, in anyone's life. Some tragic, some not. The fact that AC/DC went as far as they did was a miracle, even with all the talent involved. This channel is obviously one of Those (making the easiest kind of content possible, choosing any topic that's popular/relevant enough to drag in the views).
AC/DC🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
3:36 I see Angus and.... Is that..... *SLASH!?*
Yeap
AC/DC is my favorite rock band. My very first song I heard from them is Back in Black and that's where I got hooked on them
The most crazy of them small Angus is still alive.... incredible....
AC/DC was the best rock band probably to ever live
among beatles,queen,gun n roses,iron maiden,megadeth, and many more,uncomparable legends
Zach Carson there will never be another AC/DC
AC/DC invented the word swagger..prove me wrong.
Indigomarine91 Shakespeare did
@@airsoftluke17 shit..u know what I mean lol
Indigomarine91 lmao I know mate : )
3rdeyeshine I’d say the Stones invented swagger bud.
@@airsoftluke17 yes he did!
It’s so good to have them back making music again.
One of the best bands ever! they played a big role in my life... I wish they would stay here forever! LIVE LONG, ROCK HARD !!!
I didn't notice much difference in singing voice when Brian Johnson replaced Bon Scott.
Robert Masina same
You got to be kiddin'! 😯
you must be completely tone deaf
well you are tone bloody death.
That intro just assumed everyone listens to rock. "Anyone who knows anything about music knows ACDC"
It's more a way to say AC/DC is so big even non-rockers know them, or at least a few songs
Which is quite true, since everyone recognizes the intro riff to Highway To Hell and Back In Black
@@ilsalvatore you make a good point.
I played the Hell out of the AC/DC album that I cut my teeth on High Voltage .They didn’t sound like anyone I had heard .Between the lyrics about getting up to all manner of mischief and the blood pumping delivery that album was the theme song to many crazy and memorable nights still on our permanent record I’m sure.I was hesitant to warm up to whoever took Bons job but when the boys first came to town for the Hells Bells tour Brian came out first with a Sledge Hammer and took his first whack at the Liberty Bell they had on stage and it bounced back and hit him or something close to it. He hit it right back and bought himself a load of new fans in that moment.Cheers Boys.
Pacem Parabellum high voltage is basically the T.N.T. Album.
I find it amazing that most people who go and live away from there homeland for a couple of months and pick up a new accent but brian has lived in america for about 25 years but he still sounds like he has been in newcastle his entire life
2:02 Random girl pic floats past?
Probably a girl that hanged around bon scott 🙂
Nothing about Phil Rudd’s legal issues?
Steven D the short story is he got arrested after threatening to kill someone and they found meth aswell. He was acquitted from the threats but got 9 months house arrest for the meth
Always was my favorite band, and still rock the music, wish it could last forever, maybe that's what I will play at my funeral :-)
Can’t WAIT for Power Up!
When Bon Scott died AC/DC died!
2:03 who is that?
steveN111333 The Queen
AC/DC could play a 60 song set and you’d know every song, greatness unrivalled!
And here we are, 2020, Brian Johnson is back with AC/DC!!!
They have ear monitors, I know I play the Guitar 🎸. No one was going def.
Brian's hearing wasn't from the concerts, it was from car racing without hearing protection. Otherwise Angus and Cliff, who had been around since the Bon Scott days (when they played much louder) would also be going deaf
smokeslet'sgo race car drivers ware earplugs too.. When you get old everyone’s hearing starts to go bad.. Thats just how it is.
Beater Barsky no, he suffered from serious hearing loss, it wasn't because he was getting old.
Brian said he wasn't wearing hearing protection which he admitted was a huge mistake
All loud noises and sounds greater than 85db can cause ear/hearing injury. It’s also cumulative. So loud music and loud racing car sounds can indeed cause hearing loss. Can’t rule out one or the other.
I wanna be a rock N roll singer.
"Just get an electric guitar and takes some time to learn to play"
Kiwi Linn, I wanna be a heavy metal bassist.
Kiwi Linn I hear it pays well.
(In Bon’s voice) I wanna be a rock n roll star!!
I wanna be a death metal keyboardist
Rest in Peace Malcolm and Bon, in they're music, they live forever
I love them so much
