Bon Scott is a fkn legend . He was a one of a kind original.
The most under rated rock vocalist
Acdc were the hardest working band in rock, relentless touring and putting out incredible albums at least 1 a year.
AC/DC...Greatest rock n roll band of all time period!!
🇦🇺🐨🦘 ‘70’s teen here...Bon was sooo loved by us. Guy’s a bloody legend, always was. Still devastated by his loss....and seriously, Aussie pub crowds were tough..nothing to do with how they looked..it was just hardcore, beer and brawls..the good old days.
Cozy Powell, what a quality drummer, absolute legend and secondly Jimmy Bain underrated bass player. Bon Scott my favourite DC vocalist
If you look at all the superstars Blackmore walked away from, fired or caused to leave you easily have the most talented musicians on the planet.
Ritchie is the Deal maker.. It's all about melody he stated
I think ritchie is bored easily n doesn't want things to get stale, that's why he says he forgets solo's someone who is that calculated n prone to practice doesn't forget u can't deny his great success with different bands with multiple line ups for 5 decades he's put out some kind of music at least every 18 months since then, he's just a moody wizard
Now he sits in his castle brewing his own beer and playing that ridiculous music with his bought and paid for wife 😎
Several times over
Yep, but he had his way of doing things, I think sometimes he was too creative and too eager to get his way and his vision out for his and the bands he leds best. But maybe much of the awesome music and the variety he produced would not have been made otherwise. His biggest mistake was loosing Dio in Rainbow. They could have easily ruled the 80s together.
Interesting discussion. I personally prefer the Bon albums. Also, I listen to a lot of guitarists, but keep going back to Angus. There’s a kind of magic in his playing
Of course you and most people prefer the bon Scott years the g.o.a.t
@@trucker8666 Thanks. I think so. We met them on the Powerage tour in Bristol and watched their sound checks. They were really happy. Bon went on drums and Angus played jamming blues for ages. We got them to sign our jeans. Bon kissed my sister (both are passed away now). But magical memories 🎸
Me,ACDC died when Bon died.For proof watch let there be rock the movie.Its insanely good.Nothing in the BJ era comes close.
@@guy1900763 It’s quite an addictive film if I remember. Weren’t they driving a Porsche in a snowy field? And amazing live footage. Very precious memories
@@petermccarthy4525 pictures and memories is what we have left don't forget
Bon is a legend in Australia ,but Dio has the voice of Zeus .Stare gazer gets me every time" my eyes are bleeding"!!!!!
Or "to see him flyyyyyyyy, but why?" I love that part
Growing up, I was a huge fan of Jimmy Page, Richie Blackmore, John Fogerty, Joe Perry/Brad Whitford, Paul Kossoff, Ted Nugent, Ace Frehley, and many others, but the second I heard Angus and Malcolm, I was absolutely floored by how raw and powerful they were. That sound made me want to get a guitar and be loud and proud. My first impression of them on Don Kirshner's rock concert, was that they were a shitty punk rock band because they looked like dudes in a garage band, except for some spastic kid in a schoolboy outfit. They played "Sin City" and by the end of the song, I forgot about all the other bands I was listening to and became a huge fan which I still am to this day. I have had my own bands and we were loud, raw, and proud when we played. I have AC/DC to thank for that.
Yeah 8m the opposite loved back in black highway to hell couple others the rest same thing over and over after awhile of them I go back to purple rainbow sabbath priest Floyd 4 hours
That Sin City performance on Midnight Special was awesome.
Sincity is my.fav acdc song ...acdc just wipe the floor with other bands ...there will never be another Angus...I seen them live twice...and damn Angus works harder than anyone in the whole stadium
ACDC Is the real deal. Always have been...
Purple is straight up the real deal do is rainbow ufo sabbath priest triumph zep
@Bad Boys Boogie They are the best at what they do but honestly, I find them to be monotonous and uninteresting . I like to listen to them in small doses when I am in that mood.
Captain that's my list
@@TheHumbuckerboy gonna take a wild guess that you have only heard what is played on the radio
@@ii-wt7jqI am familiar with their classic Bon Scott era albums and I have owned several of what I regard as their best albums including Powerage and Back in Black but after For Those About to Rock there is only the odd quality song here and there amongst their catalogue IMO. Seems like they are always seeking to repeat the same approach over and over again which I find boring because it is so predictable.
I saw Rainbow live in '76, in fact it was the first rock concert I went to. And AC/DC did the first show. I remember I was blown away by their presence and live act. Blackmore was very moody that night. He wasn't moving at all and it was as if he was really not in the mood of playing. I think he was pissed off because AC/DC really stole the show. That said, I'm still a very big Blackmore fan until this day!
If you hire Bon Scott's AC/DC or Led Zeppelin to open the night and you have to follow that, it's not gonna go well for you lol
Bon, the frontman’s frontman
Angus, the crazy little schoolboy guitarist
Malcolm, rhythm genius
Add drummer, bass = timeless rock
You under estimate Phil Rudds drumming, he was an amazing drummer, his laid back feel gave the band that groove in the Bon days.. Its not easy to play less & that was what made Phil Rudd & ACDCs music so cool..
@@macisback9059 i think they meant the rhythm section is just spot on and even better than metronome
And very good, steady bass players too in Mark Evans and Cliff Williams.
I first heard AC/DC on 8 track High Voltage! It was new and had the best Rock and Blues together me and my friends had heard! We wore that 8 track out!
Here in Western Australia,Bon was known for being in Brawls and Bar fights. But by all accounts was the nicest guy you could meet. His only Downfall was he loved his booze. And paid the price. RIP BON.
Ac/dc kicks ass they Rock
I'd pay good money to see a video of AC/DC playing in a backwater Aussie pub!
The scene must have been akin to those old Western bar fight scenes :) ..but with more Rock+Roll!
Dated!! Compared to who? Different! Hell yeah. BTW, I used to see AC/DC at Chequers in Sydney back in the early 70's. Well, around 74. Saw them a few times with Dave Evans then Bon. Had a mate who was a good friend of Bons and used to drink with him up in Northbridge, Sydney. Never heard of them jumping out of windows in Sydney. Back then there was long hairs and Sharps. Maybe it was the Sharps fighting them in Melbourne where they ended up.
Blackmore knew about ACDC. ACDC literally came to blows with Deep Purple's roadies at Sunbury when Deep Purple played on the same show with ACDC in 1975
Great story, love it! Thanks for the upload
You are very welcome Callahan, thank you!!!
@@karsguitarchannel6088 Richie and ac/dc had previous form, the punch up between deep purple and ac/dc at Sunbury '75.
@@octurn yes my previous video is about what really happened at Sunbury in 75
Warm up band LOL ! Great story again !! Longevity they achieved indeed !!
Really dig your stories Karren !!
Have a rocking good week !!! : )
Thank you Christophe, I appreciate! Rock on!
Good voice of storytelling. Good video
I just barely got into Ritchie last week. He is hilarious. He put a random nut on his guitar just so people would go crazy wondering what it was for hahaha
That's right, he put a strap button on the front of his headstock just so it would bug people what it was for.
I like how clear everything you told us was.
I saw them open up for Rainbow back in the 70's !!
Good story. Interesting video it's. Sad that ritchie Blackmore never made peace with dio before he died. It would have been awesome if rainbow had reformed before everyone died. Sad that ronnie james dio cozy Powell and Jimmy bain have all passed away ☹️
Thomas Lavin, well said, Amen!
Dio and Ritchie were talking about a reunion but the sad passing of Cozy at the time ended it.
i saw them during the 1976 tour
This is great!
Keep up the good work 😉
Thank you very much Fernando, I appreciate!!!
I think AC DC has really their own style ....if in your face rock...is a style....that's AC DC
I've always admired their sound, straightforward hard rock and energy. High class rock band!
This video finally made me understand why I've never even heard of Rainbow until recently while doing CZcams 'research'.
Thank you Jay Bee for checking out, I appreciate!
I love "Back in Black"...but Bon Scott's time with AC⚡DC got me thru high school. 🤘
I'm pretty sure Bon even wrote most of "back in black" before he died on scraps of paper which the Young bros got hold of and used .
@@mattbarbarich3295 that is the rumor.
Good stuff!
Big thanks Vicki!
"But our banjo lover fired all the great musicians!" 😂
He ruined deep purple twice. As soon as they would start to make money he would destroy everything and everyone around. We could have had two dozen great albums to listen if not for his untreated bipolar sickness
@@vitalygoji2257 he didn't ruin them .it was Gillan who left he was tired of all the touring and the relationship was tiring with ritchie.second time ritchie left to go into the sound he wanted to form rainbow
@@jerrywoods4066 Blackmore confessed that after Japan tour in 72 he told Gillan that he can't sing and he tired and irritated of him. He said that Ian incapable of singing blues, impersonates Presley and all kinds of shit like that. "It went down from there" he said. Ian was also recalling that Ritchie wanted him "to worship him and his magical powers".
Blackmore simply gone insane. He already had bipolar and money and fame made him megalomaniac. It happens to poor folks suddenly "making it". In a past they characerised heroes as the ones who were tester by "fire , water and cooper pipes". He did not pass "cooper pipes" test and nearly ruined everyone who was around financially.
@@vitalygoji2257 and Gillan said the constant touring plus his drinking wore him down
@@vitalygoji2257 as 4 the black magic garbage Ritchie always had a weird sense of humor he was never serious about it and Ritchie also said Ian would get so drunk he was walking around with his pants off half the time .that got under Ritchie skin
Rainbow had R.J.D. and when he left I left with him. Also no band back in the day knew what AC/DC was all about only us fans knew. I loved watching the boys just destroy one top rated band after another. People hated me for being an AC/DC fan back then. Here it is 2021 and still an AC/DC fan!⚡️⚡️⚡️
was it oscar wilde ; who said; be yourself, everyone else is already taken.
Rock On!
I saw AC/DC open for KISS on the ALIVE 2 tour .....HELL OF CONCERT !
I don't know a rocker alive that doesn't like ACDC, especially live. I remember my first ACDC show in 79 with Brian Johnson. Of course Angus stole the show and he didn't stop much except a few moments between songs. They stayed true to their roots and deserve every ounce of success they got.
Bon Scott was still alive then in 1979..so it wasnt Brian Johnson.. he joined later after bons death.
Perfect Strangers is brilliant. Saw AC/DC in 82’ and Deep Purple 85’ both at The Spectrum.
Damn you got a great channel! You should write a book or make a big documentary or something. Thanks 🙏
Thank you Jim for checking out, I appreciate very much!
My two favorite Rock Stars are Ritchie Blackmore and Bon Scott.
I concur 100%. No one's been able to replace either one of them yet
@@williamkennedy9800 Spot on.
Ritchie is Flat out a Great Guitarist. And
Bon Scott was one bad A## singer. That whole Band was tough.
@@edwinjewell5359 Bunch of little Australian wolverines! 🤘
Love ronnie James good to know he and bon were friends
Great upload and story :)
Many thanks Scott, I appreciate! Rock on!!!
Saw them in Sweden at Monsters of Rock in 1984, motley Crüe, Van Halen, AC/DC, even with David Roth fronting Van Halen they stood no chance to the Aussies
...I had...like...all of AC/DC's albums...I was like "all their songs have lead."
Yeah. Much as I like DP and Rainbow the Bon era ac/dc were not millionaire rock stars in their own bubble singing about Stargazers, highway stars but the boys in the bar having a good time, not giving a f*** and not taking crap. Rock n Roll.
The final success is important obviously and AcDc really have the success they deserve .. anyhow that's not something that will change my personal musical preference .. for me Rainbow ( Powell Dio years ) are perhaps the best band ever .. they had all it takes rock hard rock metal neoclassical barroque influences .. that's too much .. one of best guitarist ever .. one of the best sigers ever and one of the best drummers ever .. and they matched perfectly .. their studio albums and live albums are all masterpieces
Well spoken
Juan Manuel Perez... the rainbow albums with Ronnie James Dio are gems! My favorite is Rainbow Rising their second album from 1976. OMG! What a talented bunch of musicians they had in the band and some of Ronnie's best vocals.
@@jonathanhudak2059 I totally agree 👍
As an old Rainbow and DC fan never knew they toured together? Very different styles but yes if you ever needed a warm up band who better than DC under Bon Scott! Rainbow would have been an anti climax for many fans I suspect.They were very good but never raw.Raw is king.I remember still seeing The Ramones and that night killed me.Pure energy and adrenaline!
Yeah, personally I prefer Rainbows music to DC, I find it much more interesting, but even I would choose to have Rainbow play before DC instead, the intensity of DC is too much for them to play first. Rainbow is more theatrical and dynamic.
Your stories are awesome
Big thanks Bill Wilenski, I appreciate!
"I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, 'Geez, this is ridiculous.' You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man's Led Zeppelin." Angus Young
That's ridiculous statement. No one in a music world would say that. Acdc nothing but a second grade band in that niche. Recycled some hard rock riffs and helped to downgrade hard rock to heavy metal. Not a single thing to learn from them. Just a bunch of loud clowns in shorts
Yeah he said bull about zeppelin the stones quit a few groups that Angus couldn't even play like think he's just jealous
NOONE touches Purple. Especially overrated Zeppelin. ..and AC/DC ..well only those who pretend to know metal like them. Facts.
I saw ACDC open up for rainbow at the beacon in New York City Ritchie Blackmore walked off the stage after one song and the show was cancelled, they couldn't compete with AC DC
Bull .
AC/DC gigs in Australia before they left for England were epic. They'd be supporting larger Australian bands at outdoor concerts, but coming up quickly. It was a combination of comical antics and explosive energy. Angus would always climb the P.A and Bon would sling subtle insults to anyone above them on the bill. When they left Australia in 1976 it was all over for me. They typified Australian working class principles and were bound for glory or whatever was on offer. Bon Scott had already seen the potential with previous bands and the Young brothers lineage is well known. If not for English and Scottish immigrants Australian music could have been much less entertaining.
Ritchie maybe regrets that he couldn't work with Mutt Lange like as AC/DC, which exploded the band popularity hugely since Back in Black.
BiB wasn't the first album he did with them and Mutt isn't the sole reason for that album's success, he was only a part of it
I don't care what anyone says. ACDC was the greatest live act of all time. But I love Blue Collar in your face Rock And Roll. Live in Paris 79. Unreal
Angus said in 80s mag. Ac dc base their style on the song deep purple's"woman from tokyo". Stories on the road.
Very cool
Acdc is very second rate band. Never listened to anything but woman from tokyo. Found niche amongst low iq car mecanics and school drop outs. Personally I was never able to force myself to listen to any of their songs to the end before switching radio channel
@@vitalygoji2257 Then you should discuss that with school drop outs like Blackmore, Dio, Jimmy Barnes, Cozy Powell, Tony Carey or say Eddie Van Halen, Gene Simmons, Lars Ulrich, Dave Grohl, Whole Judas Priest, Michael Schenker, Pete Way (RIP/he even thought they were better than his own band UFO), Slash and Axl, Dave Mustaine, Kerry King and Dave Lombardo, Scott Ian, Matt Sorum, Joe Elliot and Rick Allen and last but not least Lemmy (RIP) and Ozzy... and all the other non musical punks (to name but a few)
But maybe your musical taste is shit?
I would say this in regards to Rainbow, looking back. They had moments of true brilliance with 3 singers. Richie Blackmore's dictator like control and trying to be the flavour of the week was the bands ultimate undoing.
If they'd have done what they naturally did with any of those 33 singer they'd have been a juggernaut. I personally, love the Dio records the most.
It happened in the 80's to at least 3 great 70's hard rock bands too. Kiss, Aerosmith, and Y&T, all tried to make Bon Jovi records. None of us wanted Bon Jovi records which is why GnR blew up. No pretense, just rock n roll. AC/DC meanwhile, kept doing what they do. Bon years by far the best of them but still no frills rock n roll is what they did. Hell, even the Stones have their fair share of tryin' to keep up with the Joneses records. Only AC/DC seemed to dodge that bullet
Yes, and Slayer on a metal parallel
ACDC are the guardians of tradition
Just the couple times I've seen AC DC. They leave it all on the stage and their ain't no other way to get it done in Rock....I love deep purple and was never able to see them live and live they were a so much more they turned it up double reward for buying tickets...
The best
Bon has a look in his eye that he's a badass
I saw Accadacca around the traps. There were a few Oz rock bands around that were not much different like Rose Tattoo and The Angels. But the best local hard rock band I saw at the time was Midnight Oil by far - their energy was unbelievable
Yes the Oils very loud and frenetic but completely different type of music to those other bands. More of a punk band and very Australian centric themes and also lefty activists, no wonder they didn't go far overseas. Tragic Rose Tattoo didn't become almost as big as AC-DC, they should've with the original lineup circa '81, '82.
It was the energy, sound, musicianship and the atmospheres they created. The Oils were a cut above IMO
@@AlmostEthical You're obviously a fan, fair enough but I can't agree with your last comment. They were looking down with contempt at most of their fans at times, just listen the the words of " king of the mountain".
@@mattbarbarich3295 Do you listen to lyrics? lol. I was just in it for the buzz, fuck the politics. No one created more of a buzz live than the Oils. The lights would flash bright white and the band would hit the afterburners - super tight and the energy was off the charts. Robbie Hirst was an amazing drummer - no one else playing around in Sydney at the time had his drive, not even Gary Young.
As an Australian mucisian it always puzzled me,why a large proportion of my non musicly inclined mates,loved AC/DC, they played simplistic 3 chord,basic songs,very, VERY loudly, and they never changed the formula. Now Angus has managed to clone Malcolm, restore the more or less original line up, NOTE....To Blackmore....Dont change the Formula.
Angus has always reminded me of a white Chuck Berry!..
Australia was full of long haired rock stars in the 70s so saying people didn't like them and they were chased out of windows sounds like a bit of crap to me Aussies have always loved em
That's actually the story Dio told. I didn't invent it. He said that in New Your and Australia, people didn't take too well rock n roll guys in the early 70s. He said it was dangerous even to go for lunch there. They used to fight with people in the audience and Rainbow were once thrown out from a city in Norway. They were banned ever since from playing there and they never came back. Dio said he laso used to jump into the audience and fight with the people who were gaving him grief.
@@karsguitarchannel6088 im not thinking you told a lie , but as an aussie who lived through the 70s i can tell you 1st hand that they were adored
Look in Australia back then most blokes in Australia where big hairy mean men and if you talk out of line you got punch out especially in the real early 70s..by late 70s things got better but when the draft was on TV for the war that's the time Australia was full of really mean big men i remember and the bikers started to take of big time clubs building up numbers.. I grew up in Adelaide so I seen it with my own eyes
@@anthonyde-zen2235 I don't know much about Australia, I live in S. Texas. But this Aussie dude I met said the people that lived in the Outback were the most dangerous. Makes sense, not a lot of people live there. I remember reading some story where these "Bandido's
(Biker gang) went to war with some other
club in some biker bar and several of them were killed. We got Bandido's here in Texas and just like in Australia, many are
vicious criminals we certainly want to avoid.
Blackmore was right in my opinion , he picked the wrong band to precede them on stage . AC/DC's energy was so high and the music so crunchy. Not to take away from Rainbow, but Rainbow was more virtuoso talent . It's hard to come on as the headliner and be heavier than the fist band if it's AC/DC . They should have picked a band with a mellower presentation so that when they came on they would be easily contrasted as a larger talent
Yes it was a bad choice. Rainbow had more variety though and were more for the musician. Love Ac/Dc but two thirds of their set are in the key of 'A'
@@centaurus5676 what's that saying? The jazz band plays 500 chords and 3 people in the crowd, but the blues rocker plays 3 chords and has 500 people in the crowd
@@theyrekrnations8990 What i meant was Ac/Dc are great for banging your head for 1 hour and Rainbow have more variation with their material.
@@centaurus5676 both really good though . for different moods
@@centaurus5676 Hmmm, "Let There Be Rock" is in E, A and B, The Jack in E and yes Highway To Hell is in A (which is a very good key for guitar as C is for piano), Thunderstruck is in B, You Shook Me... is in G, Rosie and Shoot are actually in A, I'll give you that, For Those is in B...TNT in E, so....BTW nobody cares what key a song is
Rainbow were much more melodic than AC/DC but AC/DCs more straightforward rock'n'roll connected very readily with live audiences .
Rainbow was straight forward too... Kill the King, Do you close your eyes, Starstruck, A Light in the Black and so on
"If it don't swing, it don't mean a thing" - Malcolm
AC/DC's timing is really interesting. It's makes you move. I think that's why it still works so well.
AC/DC even look like a band that would kick your ass!
well well
Well,yeah
To say it in the words of Keith Richards》If it rocks,it rocks🤘
☝️
Imagine those days back then.
AD/DC as a supporting Band for Rainbow
Or Judas Priest as a support for AC/DC...
How many great band where sittin on one Table each one great Bands, in its own way...
Every musicfan of Rock was around that time like a five year old in candyland😀
You know Tyler i believe we are not in Kansas anymore...
We must be over the Rainbow....
RAINBOW ~ AC/DC ~JUDAS PRiEST and LED ZEPPELiN,Aerosmith and Dio with Black Sabbath are my favorite Hardrock or Classic Metallbands not to forget Saxon and Purple...and the Ace of Spases Motörhead...
What more can you ask for when it comes to Heavy Rock ?🤔😁JIMIHENDRIX
DAMM IT,NOW IN NEED FOR A DRINK AND I HAVE NONE...which leads us to the Blues😂However.
Merry × Mess🤘
Yeah Aussie bands are fucking loud.At Sunbury rock festival in 75 the then Deep Purple were on the bill as the loudest band in the world,up steps Billie Thorpe and the Aztecs and their volume blew purple off the stage.
You make it sound like Bon Scott “left” AC/DC on purpose.
You're right, I had to say that when Bon Scott kicked the bucket like John Bonham
Long live ACDC
Bon Scott did not just 'leave'
Yes, I meant he left this world. Very sad
Is it possible that, the altercation they had in 1975 with Deep Purple's road crew, is what made them contemptuous of Rainbow? I would bet money that Blackmore had forgotten about that, by this time... AC/DC sounds like they had not, and I do not blame them. Too bad Mr. Scott never gave Richie a special 'hello'.
Dio always sounds like a great guy, and I have always admired John Lord, but I wouldn't want to meet Richard, which no-doubt would suit him fine.
Ummm Rainbow was never the biggest band in the world....and they would never be able to match AC/DC on stage. And it’s hilarious Blackmore calling AC!/DC dated, since Rainbow is complete stock rock.
Dio actually said that Rainbow sounded a bit outdated with Ritchie's long guitar solos.
When I was early teens I started hitting the spectrum in Philadelphia became a metal head and went to shows there DC Baltimore and any place that had a stage. Fiesta band I never heard of blew rainbow away then a very young Han Halen killed sabbath. The 70s ruled
That sounds great. Did you ever see Riot and or Twisted Sister around '79, '80? They were amazing bands then judging by the records I've got.
@@mattbarbarich3295 twisted sister 2 times as an opening act
I saw quite riot if that's who you mean
@@gilt2349 Ok, no was thinking of New York band Riot , they had amazing singer called Guy Sparenza and an album out called Narita, would've played the North East area quite a lot, I was a big fan but never got to see them live cos I'm not American.
Btw seeing Quiet Riot with Randy Rhoads pre 1980 would've been amazing.
@@mattbarbarich3295 don't know how missed out I'll do some research hopefully you opened up a door
New York was Iggy and Jim Carroll Ramones for me
Took that trip a few times
Saw Randy with Ozzy
Carlos with quite riot
I don't think Angus liked Deep Purple. He called them a "poor man's Led Zeppelin".
He called Van Halen pretty good for a pop rock band..lol
We are a rock and roll band.
He was asked if there was a competition going on at a festival they were both at.
@@sonofrobert Angus is just jealous I think he can't play like those players
@@jerrywoods4066
Angus is one of the greatest guitarist ever.
ACDC has been huge for decades so he certainly isn't jealous..lol
There are the poor man's led Zeppelin. I don't even know if you can compare Deep Purple to Zeppelin actually.
@@sonofrobert goes to show how much you know deep purple was as big as zeppelin in 5he 70s even more in some places in europe.the early 70s they were one of the biggest box office concert headliners as well.in 85 their reunion tour was the biggest rock ticket in the world .they earned their mark and are the longest touring rock band in the world and gave birth to whites snake and rainbow and dio
@@sonofrobert Angus also said zeppelin as stones were the most boring bands he seen live considering their reputatuon.if isn't basic loud and easy so he can play it,Angus loses interest
I read a couple of times that Brian Johnson auditioned for Rainbow once. It's really hard to find ANYTHING on this but I swear I've come across it a couple of times. I have no idea if there is any truth to it and if there is it could only really have been before he was in AC/DC and after Dio left Rainbow (1979). Timeline fits but who knows?!! Interesting though.
Que guitarrista es mejor Richie o Angus?
Proletariat band. Amazing heavy rock during the 70s and later on!!! But, can't be compared to the genius of Rainbow with Blackmore and Dio. Blackmore was the inventor, deal maker with his electric Rainbow and magic sound
Your opinion, one that I disagree with.
Yep purple 2 blackmore pace Gillan lord glover Coverdale Hughes
@Blue Heeler Zeppelin, Queen sold more LPs.. If you mean that. But that's not "genius" to sell more LPs than Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden
He was TNT!!
Bon Scott 4 EVVA
Make 'em shout and scream look out! it's rough and mean
I'm in minority here, but I'm not a fan of AC/DC. I mean I like them, it's a good fun rock'n'roll, but they are too simplistic and repetitive to me. There are a couple of songs that I really love from them like Hells Bells, Rising Power and Badlands, but usually it's all the same to me.
Purple and Rainbow on the other hand.... Among the greatest of all time! And I'm talking about all the Rainbow line ups, including Turner, Bonnett and White.
Rainbow didn't get that successful, but Dio did, and Deep Purple was already huge.
If ACDC was dated according to Blackmore compared to other bands in the 1970s then the sound of Deep Purple MK1 in 1968 was a year dated compared to what Steppenwolf, the Beatles Helter Skelter and Others were already recording in 1967.
Whats "dated" mean? Outdated? Old fashioned? Thanks from a German
Hey hey My My
Our garage band played both jailbreak(hated it) and man on the silver mountain (loved it), but ACDC was a great band.
He says Rainbow was the biggest, baddest rock band in the world.
Lol
I'm 51 and I may have heard the name a couple of times.
How popular was Rainbow?
I have no idea.
BTW, I saw ACDC in two different cities in the late 80s in same week.
My arm was so sore from the obligatory fist pumping with the rabid crowd..lol
Acdc was never dated, it's simple straight forward hard rockin music without all the fluff and pompous pretention. Just like how they look. No makeup or costumes like the band Sweet. That was the Glam time though.
I love the Angus quote when asked if there was a competition when Van Halen. He said no and explained that Halen was pretty good for a pop rock band..lol
Rainbow headlined the first Monsters of Rock festival in 1980 though
I think Rainbow was really big in Europe and probably in the US too. Ritchie Blackmore was a very famous guitar player with a big name in those days. So lots of people came to see Rainbow
Yeah I liked rainbow and purple ufo more than acdc
Rainbow had some commercial success. One of their commonly play radio songs was "Stone Cold" But they were close to as huge as ACDC was
@@rbagel55 they were pretty big considering they had a few hits
I’ve never heard of bon fighting in the audience before
I call BS
Gavin McInnes , He did have a few punch-ons, on stage, and playing in Aussie pubs back in the day, it is true Bon loved brawling, drinking, laughing, and partying with women. Bon is the original Rock God, who was so wild he could not be tamed, long live the Legend.
Yes he did. Some people saw Bon jumping into the audience, fighting with a few guys and then he got back to the stage and smashed all AC/DC's gear.

Bon wasn't a big guy, but he wasn't to be fkd with. Size doesn't make a damn. I've proven quite a bit in my day and sometimes even today
@@chadhendrixson9840 right Bon was tough. A guy can be big but flabby
thought they had some bad story with purple?
Blackmore is in a league of his own. Young is just a good blues rock player repeating his licks all over again. AC DC is a good very hard rockin' band, which is very well suited for live concerts visited by partygoers. But when it comes to creativity, spontaneity and musicality they are lightyears away from Rainbow (and evev further from Deep Purple)!
0:36 never understood why North Americans have such a problem pronouncing the word "Aussie".
On a side note Perfect Strangers is a badass record.
Dio 5’2, Bon Scott 120lbs. Real bad asses😂
Why? Cos acdc's got camaraderie and rocked the world. Not a band led by a control freak which evolved from a speed metal pioneer into pop rock wannabe wanting to please the mainstream but didn't succeed like journey.
First!!!
Big thanks Nuke, awesome!!!
LET THERE BE RO,,,,CK !!!!!!!!!. SCOTTISH AUSTRALIAN DEADLY MIX ALCOHOLIC BRAWLER AND HARD CORE ROCKER.
Rainbow Is More artístic band, also better musicians. than AcDC... was good in that times of Bon Scoot and More commercial music but Rainbow was More talented AND creative band.
Sounds like they were unappreciative brats to me. I’m sure they matured as time went on.
Jimmy Bain should have gone on well with Angus, Malcolm and Bon. Typical Blackmore though, hasn't got the class to give anything but backhand compliments. He's really in no position to criticise AC/DC because he was never in a band as good or successful as AC/DC.
Blackmore could start a war in an empty room.
Although genius, he IS a reknown prick!!.
This is especially true when he attempts to tackle my boys here.
