Hey there folks, Mark recently recorded a matchup where he compares pre-AC/DC Bon Scott to pre-AC/DC Brian Johnson. He looks at "Seasons of Change" from when Bon was in Fraternity, and he compares that to "Don't Do That" from Brian's days in Geordie. It's a really fun video, and Mark talks quite a bit about Brian's book "The Lives Of Brian: A Memoir."
We'd love it if you checked it out: czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
When this came out we bought in alright, every song was a winner on this album. You’re right we were sceptical, but took about 2 mins of You Shook Me All Night Long to convince us to buy the album. That was the first radio hit from the album.
Unfortunately, I was just a little too young to realize the change in singers. I'm reasonably sure the first AC/DC I heard was the Dirty Deeds album, but I was a kid, and I didn't understand/know anything about Bon's death until a little later.
So I'm glad I wasn't off with that statement. From what I read, almost everyone had your reaction. Skepticism at first. Like, how is this going to work?
And then Malcolm started those riffs, Angus started those leads, and Brian belted it out, and everything was good in the world again.
Thanks for checking this video out. I hope you take a look at some of our other videos, too.
Yes I remember that song back in 1980, when I was 14, and thunderstruck in 1990,two great songs
Saw them in Landover MD B Scott carried A Young on his shoulders through the floor seats jamming away crazy they were the warm up band bought the LPS
In 1980 , AC/DC released the album in Australia, with a sellout concert in Sydney, that was a raging success, followed by a national tour. Their loyal fans were still loyal, and still are.
That's thing, most of their Australian fans considered them as potential friends, just because one guy can't be there, don't mean you can't party.
Brian was singing in a group called Geordie. Bon had actually gone to a show of theirs and he was blown away by Brian's performance. He wasn't particularly impressed with his voice, but he was impressed by his energy. It just so happened that Brian was having an appendicitis attack that night on stage. He was literally rolling around and shrieking on the stage floor from all of the pain. Bon was super drunk and didn't even realize that Brian was having a medical emergency. He went to practice the next day and told Angus and Malcolm that if anything ever happened to him, they should get Brian to replace him. He had no idea what Brian's real singing voice sounded like. He thought the shrieking was the norm, but it wasn't. You can Search videos for Brian singing with Geordie, and you'll be shocked. He didn't sound anything like he does with AC DC. He created that "new singing voice" to try to stay true to the sound that Bon had created for the band. It just so happened that the night Bon saw him, he was in agony and his voice was strained due to his pain level. Poor Brian was just trying to get through the set, and Bon thought it was the norm for him to sound like he did. He made it his norm, after he used it for the audition, and was hired by AC DC .
I'd heard that Bon actually knew Brian and that he had sat in with th band, before Bon died. Bon had approved of Brian as a replacement!! Don't know if it's true, but it makes sense!!!
I recently posted a matchup video where I looked at pre-AC/DC Bon Scott and pre-AC/DC Brian Johnson. It was a fun video to record because both of them are so different before AC/DC. You can check that out here: czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
Before I recorded that video, I read Brian Johnson's autobiography, and Brian did indeed meet Bon when Bon was playing with Fraternity, but he says that sadly, he was too drunk to remember much about it. I talk about it in the video I linked above.
Thanks for checking out our video and commenting!
Bon's Mum and Dad told Malcolm and Angus to carry on that's what he would have wanted.
I seen ACDC in 1982 n they r stil Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
I've been to many concerts but there is nothing likeAC/DC. Live it the energy they give the audience is unmesurable I've never been to a concert where the audience performs rituals, we always rock out but what we all say on certain songs like chanting extra parts to any use parts, with in 6 months the other dude is going to know so many of the lyrics to so many great songs, I ain't having a fineral but when ever they do what i want em to do I hope you shook me all night long and highway to hell are playing
I've already told my wife that I don't want a funeral I just want people to get together and have some beers to remember me. And I specifically told her that "Highway to Hell" should be the first song on the playlist and "Hells Bells" should be the last.
Love the explanations from a true ACDC fan. Thank you for this ❤️. I'm such a die hard fan I have my ACDC fix every day.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked this one! I hope you've watched Part I of this series as well.
And Ricky and I also did a reaction to AC/DC's "Through The Mists of Time" recently. If you haven't seen it, I'd love your thoughts on it. Ricky said he never thought an AC/DC video would make him tear up: czcams.com/video/ZMcQNZ-p15E/video.html
I do also, I listen to them every single day
Lately, I’ve been on let there be rock and Rosie
Lol
We loved Brian, this album was a new beginning. I was 18. :)
Hard-core AC/DC fan here, listen to them every day
I love to see peoples reactions the first time they hear them
My favorite AC/DC song!!
thanks for isolating Malcolms part in thunderstruck, just highlighting what heavy duty guitarist he actually was
Absolutely. Malcolm provided the backbone for all their songs, and I don't think someone can truly understand AC/DC without hearing Malcolm isolated. He was a rhythm BEAST.
AC/DC live at River Plate 2009
As a rock and roll family from Detroit we had fist fights over this. I don't give a shit! Brian was the perfect pick to fill in what Bon had left undone. Forever a fan of this band of brothers.
Ha! It's funny how aggressive we can get about things we like when we're young. I remember being that way about stuff I liked, too. But now at 45? I don't give a shit what other people like! To each their own.
1980 album. Black in Black. That was around 44 years ago, now. This band jumped out of the box in 1973, already great & nothing has changed. That is why I think they have so many fans worldwide. Just great musicians doing their thing & having a good time thank you very much. The loss of Bon Scott was terrible, but Brian Johnson was the best 2nd front man for this band & has long made it his own. xoxo
Us "old rockers" call it the old ACDC or the new ACDC. Love both of them.
I think the coolest part about Brian joining was when they started touring and there were fan-made banners all over the arenas wishing Brian the best.
Yeah, I just finished Brian's autobiography, and he writes about that stuff. He says he was so nervous about the gig, but the fans, and even Bon's mom and brothers, made him feel so welcome that he got over that nervousness really quickly and started to view himself as kind of a way to honor Bon.
I recently did a matchup between pre-ACDC Brian Johnson and Bon Scott that was a lot of fun, and I talk a bit about Brian's book in that video. You might like that one. czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
And hopefully you've already subbed to the channel and plan on stick around.
This was, by far, the best AC DC reaction video of the dozen or so I've listened to over and over. I listened to mostly jazz and blues - but occasionally hard rock, too. I learned things I never knew after about 40 years of intermittently rocking to AC DC when I needed a break from jazz and blues. Thank you Mark. Now I'm going to listen to ALL your other AC DC reaction videos for the next couple of days. Excellent work, Sir.
Thank you so much! We're really glad you liked this series. I hope you like the rest of our content, too!
I like to think that listening to this song is like riding a roller-coaster in song form. The beginning starts off moderately slow, then gradually ratchets up the intensity until "You've been...THUNDERSTRUCK!"
😂 I love that analogy!
These guys are royalty in Australia. In the heart of downtown Melbourne there is a street named AC/DC lane
Yep, Bon's grave in Fremantle is a national heritage sight, and still receives thousands of visitors a year.
I was stuck in a traffic jam in Florida years back and driving the Bentley next to me was Brian Johnson. We yelled back some bull shit to one another and I ended up on his privet island in the bay drinking some great vodka. The guy is cool as they get.
I remember sitting in the car with my husband, listening to the 'Back in Black' tape for the first time on its release - we weren't expecting a lot, then heard the bells. We both had tears, you didn't need to be a genius to know it was a funeral bell for Bon. We were hooked - every track a banger on that album! Had the tape and the vinyl for the very large system at home. Brian just fitted in perfectly.
Yeah that song in particular is so well written and so emotional. I kind of came into the Bon era backwards, so I can only imagine how that must have felt hearing that in real-time.
I recently came across your channel while listening to "Long WayTo The Top". My favorite AC DC song. I watched Pt.1 and Pt.2. They are my favorite rock band since 1975 and Long Way is my favorite song!
I'm 76 years old and still going!
Great reactions, thanks 😊
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the videos. I hope you've subscribed and plan on sticking around.
My wife and I recently went to Melbourne, and I spent all my time wandering around the CBD taking pics of the AC/DC murals and stuff.
As an older AC/DC fan, you should check out our reaction to "Through The Mists of Time" and let us know what you think: czcams.com/video/ZMcQNZ-p15E/video.html
I remember Brian 1st album. Love it,I was 13 now at 55 still listening hope to see them again
So many hits off the one Comeback album after Bon's death, made this 1980 16 year old hold faith in ACDC which continues, I was 15 in 1975 when I forst saw IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANNA ROCK AND ROLL.
Have you watched our reaction to "Through the Mists of Time"? If you haven't, I'd love your thoughts as a long time AC/DC fan: czcams.com/video/ZMcQNZ-p15E/video.html
Ladi should see AC/DC later on, say 2009, "Live at River Platte". He would be blown away by the crown reaction during that concert. My sister and I went to a live concert in Sydney , Nov 4th 2015. Still bloody awesome. Multiple generations were there rocking it out, including the grandparents and grandkids. Great to watch and great to experience. Cheers.
Yeah, I need to show him some of those later concerts just to see the demographics of the audience. AC/DC has touched at least three generations of people. I have a video planned for their video for "Mists of Time," but I'm kind of waiting on that one because I know it will be kinda hard to shoot. But I plan on doing that on e in the future at some point.
I think the line that sent the Bible Belt types all a-twitter was " 'Cuz if God's on the left then I'm stickin' to the right" and "I'm gonna get ya, Satan get ya!".
I feel like you're giving them too much credit. I bet they never even listened to the damn songs. They just saw Angus wearing the devil horns and went bananas.
The "bell" rings 13 times.!😈
Electrifying!!!! Malcom ringing that Electric bell!!!
I was born in 1968 and remember hearing AC DC for the first time in the1980s. Their music literally drew my interest especially seeing them in videos on MTV. 🎸
That's awesome. I think I remember their music before I remember the videos. I know I listened to the Dirty Deeds album really early. My buddy's dad had so many albums, and we weren't supposed to listen to that one because of "Big Balls."
So what did we immediately sneak onto the turntable the moment his parents' backs were turned? "Big Balls." As fast as we could.
I first saw AC/DC at a hall at RSL Sorrento in Jan 1975, then Saturday night's Matthew Flinders pub Chadstone dancing to their songs. RIP Bon Scott. Thanks for the memories. 😊
Back in Black was the second, now the fourth, highest selling album of ALL TIME. Once, only Michael Jackson's Thriller album outsold it.
It still is second
@@xQuickSilva I think it may be fourth now in America, although still second in the world. Different lists show different things.
Great job on the biopic. I was 16 when this album came out. We were blown away hearing BJ for the first time. Black in Black is the 4th selling album of all time.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked this one. I hope you check out some of our other Rockucation videos in this series, and if you like what we're doing, hit the subscribe button and stick around.
Yeah, Brian's voice is just fantastic. And I've always been amazed at how versatile he is. Listening to him in Geordie it's almost like he's another singer!
Yes a awesome group I remember in 1980, when I was 14, and thunderstruck awesome song
I've always heard that Bon Scott told Angus that if anything happens to him they should get Brian to take over for him. Also I heard Angus say they were going to break up they told Bon Scott mom they're going to break up she said "No Bon wouldn't want you to do that you guys go on without him"
Hells bells river plate was an amazing performance! You should check it out!
Yeah that show was amazing! I have that one saved on my workout playlist.
What I love about that one is that if you just listened to it, you'd have no idea the boys in the band were old enough to be eligible for social security when it was filmed. Then you watch it and think "geez, maybe getting old doesn't have to be all hard candies and early bird specials because these dudes are still killin' it."
These two songs are my ringtones. Love them.
During the recording of Back In Black, Brian Johnson said he had a visitation from Bon who encouraged him. Also, Bon did meet Brian after seeing Brian on stage.
Brian's story about meeting Bon is really interesting. He writes about it in his new autobiography. He actually doesn't remember talking to Bon offstage very much. He remembered seeing him play and thinking he had a great voice, but after the show when they actually spoke Brian was really drunk, so it wasn't until years later that realized he'd spoken to Bon.
I go over the book in this comparison video if you wanna check it out: czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
One of the few AC/DC songs that's better on the recorded version than live, because there's three guitar parts on the track (Angus's descending riff is overdubbed throughout the entire song).
Yeah I feel like with the Back I'm Black album going forward they got a lot more creative in production. I kinda like some of the overdubs and layering effects.
"Highway to Hell" is about the endless, relentless touring with bandmates in the USA, but it's also the nickname of the Canning Highway in Perth, Western Australia. The short Canning Highway ends at a pub that Bon Scott use to frequent. The Canning was notorious for the deaths that occurred at intersections, "No stop signs... speed limits... nobody gonna slow me down." All the crap that came from those claiming that ACDC were devil worshippers just fired the band up and "they took the piss", all the way to the bank.
""Highway to Hell" is about the endless, relentless touring with bandmates in the USA, but it's also the nickname of the Canning Highway in Perth, Western Australia.

The Canning was notorious for the deaths that occurred at intersections, "No stop signs... speed limits... nobody gonna slow me down.""
I think the real beauty of songs like this is that yeah, there's a literal, biographical reading of the song. But because the lyrics are so well written, there are also other interpretations of the lyrics that are equally valid, and I think one of the primary reasons why AC/DC's music is so universal.
I can personally vouch for that story, since when I used to reside in Perth, I dreaded driving along Canning Highway (mostly due to how narrow were the lanes, rather than the dangerous intersections).
I have always considered AC/DC the ultimate garage band and I mean that in the best way possible. Pure, unapologetic hard rock. AC/DC has been my favorite band since I was 12 years old and is the measuring stick I use to judge all other music against. Rock N Roll, ain't no riddle man...
I totally agree.
And I think one of the coolest thing is the number of other bands who walk out on stage to AC/DC. Slipknot. GnR. Heck, we just saw Metallica's 2 night show in Arlington, and before "Ectasy of Gold" played, they played "It's A Long Way To the Top."
My wife and I joke like to joke that every good rock band walks onstage to an AC/DC song, and AC/DC? They walk out to AC/DC.
I was there for this filming. Brixton Academy, London. I pulled the girl Infront of me who was wearing a rubber dress lol I've still got the T-shirt 😎 You can see me from behind a few times as the track and dolly camera goes past on the right. So proud I was there. We did the song many times. Were there most of the day. I remember being a bit miffed that they didn't play a few other songs for us. But we all got that T-shirt and a sandwich, drink, crisps and an apple lol. What more do you want as a 20 year old. One of THE best days of my life. And I got laid. Ahhhh rock n roll 😎
What a memory man. What an absolute banger of a memory.
We just published a matchup between Bon and Brian that you might enjoy: czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
And if you haven't yet subscribed to the channel, I'd encourage you to do so. We'd love you to hang around.
Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s in Western Sydney where the Young’s were raised Aussie Pub Rock was a way of life.I was 8 when Back in Black dropped and you gotta remember there was no internet or videos or MTV around hell we just got a colour tv that year, so information was limited and ACCA in Australia apart from Countdown or magazines still didn’t get the airplay or publicity on mainstream cause they were deemed too rude and crude so their popularity came from their own hard work and grit n determination to take it overseas and get the recognition. So the anticipation to hear this new sound with Brian was huge, my brother who was 5 yrs older and myself walked and hour and a half to his music teachers house who was picking up this new album and to hear that opening bell still gives me chills, my brother died two years later at 17 yrs he lived every day like it was his last hard drinking, fast woman and hot cars even that young.RIP Shane and Bon
"and to hear that opening bell still gives me chills, my brother died two years later at 17 yrs he lived every day like it was his last hard drinking, fast woman and hot cars even that young. RIP Shane and Bon"
Oh man. I'm so sorry. I'm glad you were able to share that with your brother, but 17 is too damn young. I'm sorry.
Two of the greatest rock intros ever, if not the two best .
Yeah, totally agree.
A friend and I were talking about walk-on songs that bands use. So, when a big band comes on stage, what song do they use? For example, Metallica alway walks out to "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly." So we were talking about bands who walk out to songs, and we realized that a ton of big bands walk out to AC/DC songs. From "Thunderstruck" to "Hells Bells" to "Highway To Hell," lots of bands use AC/DC.
And what does AC/DC walk out to? More AC/DC.
ACDC are wicked live. Talking about that bell, sooo loud. Had the best night ever.
That's awesome. I always regret not seeing them. Inevitably when they came through I'd have to work, and I'd think, "They'll come back around. I'll see them next time." And then we lost Malcolm. I'm glad you got to see them. I wish I hadn't been stupid and waited.
@@LikeMindedLunatics I saw them in Adelaide what was supposedly their last tour.
I had a chance to go see them in late 70s they actually came to Pt Aug. My home town small country town, as we say Out in the Sticks. 🤣 I was about 15yo but Hush did a show here to played the weekend b4 ACDC n Mum said I could only go see one so I had to male a choice n my Cousin had tickets for Hush so went saw them. They wee great but I missed ACDC that time n I never got to see Bon singing. So wasn't going to miss them for quids. Wolfmother were the support band .
They are awesome live.
I don't think you can not go a full year without someone putting an AC/DC song in it.
I was 12 when this album came out and my teen neighbors played this full blast in the driveway every day! I think they took to it immediately!
HA! Well, I understand those teens very well. When I listen to AC/DC, my neighbors ALSO listen to AC/DC whether they want to or not.
The first song brian wrote for the band was "you shook me all night long" his words on Howard stern interview....
FCKN GOOD!!!!
Every song on Back in Black received airplay on Philly rock radio stations 93.3 WMMR and 94.1 WYSP It is the only album that I have ever seen that happen with.
In spite of their hard driving, aggressive style music, they are, to a man, soft spoken gentlemen.
I was in Europe on holiday when the BiB album was released. Album posters were in the windows of music stores everywhere.
Oh wow that's really cool!
Don't forget mutt pangs contribution to this album as the producer he's 50% responsible foe how amazing and this is the greatest album of all time
You have to show him Whole Lotta Rosie at River Plate! Commanding a sea of people and bringing down the house!!
It was so, so hard trying to pick the songs for this two part series! There were so many things I wanted to show him, and I we were literally ten minutes out when I switched out "Whole Lotta Rosie" with "Highway to Hell." I just felt that "Highway" provided a nice segue way into "Hells Bells," but I almost covered "Rosie" instead.
For sure. But this particular concert and this particular song is legendary. I’d love to see your reactions. It also shows how truly they have stuck to their nature despite being in the business for half a century, withstanding various forces. All that in a place where English isn’t the first language. They don’t write songs, they write anthems!
The best album ever Period.
I love this particular episode, this, guys. Cheers 😍🎉❣️
Hello from Germany, I have to say you two are so much fun to watch, hope to see more of you soon!
Thank you so much! I hope you've hit the subscribe button and check out some of our other videos!
And I love Germany so much. My wife and I have spent several extended vacations there. In fact, I talked about one of our trips quite a bit in the Scorpions "Wind of Change" reaction I did. You can check that one out here: czcams.com/video/qIOO_rz1dUo/video.html
thanks for the info..great job
Absolutely. We hope you check some of our other videos out too.
@@LikeMindedLunatics...have you heard of midnight oil? that's another Aussie band..kind of rock..I will see some more of your videos..even cold chisel are rock..we have a few great successes in America..
When the h--- are they going to make a biopic, or even a miniseries, about these legendary brothers, and this legendary band?!
I completely agree. I thought the same thing when I was putting these episodes together. They definitely deserve a feature length film.
@@LikeMindedLunatics you know if they make a biopic about the Young Brothers, they're going to have to mention what it was like growing up with their older brothers groupies being always around. It must have been hard having your older brother being in Australia's biggest rock band The Easybeats (at the time.) Everyone likes to gloss over the fact that the Easybeats were huge in Oz. George also wrote and played on some of his younger brothers early stuff. ( Harry Vander and George Young ,both from The Easy beats, are one of Australia's most prolific songwriting duos ever.)
salute from an ACDC fan from Russia 🤘😈. cool content
Salute from an AC/DC fan in Austin Texas! Thanks for checking out our video! I'm glad you liked it. I hope you check out some of our other content, too!
7:14. I was 19 when Bon died. Was a fan since '75 and High Voltage. Dark times.
Then Back in Black came and blew us away. Although not a great fan of Johnson's work overall, he has sung some of their best.
I'm sure that was devastating. He was such an amazing personality. I'm younger, so when I started listening to them I didn't realize Brian was the second singer.
We were just happy they were coming back, which helped me to see them 4 times
We weren't sure what AC/DC were going to be after Bon. But it worked out quite well....
Yeah it was such a shame we lost Bon. Thankfully the boys were able to keep that freight train rolling.
I’ve seen AC/DC close to 20 times, I hope I’ll get a chance to see them again 😎🎶🎸
I hope you do too!
Yay! Ya'll rocked two of my favorite AC/DC tunes, love it! Talk about a rock band done perfectly, AC/DC had rock 'n roll figured out long before the glam rock came knockin' and powered their way through so many eras of rock that it's absolutely mind blowing. This is one of the many, many reasons why AC/DC is a MUST in my car whenever I take a road trip - - I don't think I've ever been in vthe car for longer than an hour without headbanging to a few of the classics. (Pretty sure my steering wheel has been used as a makeshift drum far more than actually steering the car.) Awesome video like always, guys, and love that you go into detail about Malcom's insane playing style; rock lost an icon when he passed away.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying our content.
I've always said that if an alien race came down and wanted to understand rock and roll I'd just show them AC/DC. They're so foundational to modern rock.
I recently did a matchup between pre-AC/DC Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. It doesn't have a ton of views, but as an AC/DC fan I'd love your thoughts on it: czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
I heard 'NutBush City Limits' was the first song Brian sang with them.
I looked a several sources, and "Nutbush" was mentioned in a few of them, but "Rosie" was mentioned in every source. I have a feeling they had him do several songs and people's recollections of which one he did first might differ. I just said "Rosie" in the episode and not the list of songs I'd read because it was the most recognizable one.
This was my first album I heard. Now a big AC/DC fan. This album is their biggest seller. 2 nd all time selling album.
Then Brain got the call to audition. He ask who wanted him. The lady said I can’t tell you, but their initials are A C D C. Lol
Whole lot of Rosie was about Bon and Malcolm was on a date and Bon got stuck paying for his dinner with a big girl. Funny interview with Malcom.
Guys it wasn’t a hole lotta Rosie he auditioned with it was Tina Turner’s Nutbush City Limits when he went to the audition the boys asked him what he wanted to sing and that was it the rest is history.
Well, we're both right. In Brian's autobiography, he says that the very first song they did together was "Nutbush" because he didn't want to start with an AC/DC song. So they all kinda had to figure it out together. But then the next thing they did was "Rosie" because Brian had been covering it in Geordie and already knew it.
Loved your Royal reference! I’m a fan, great video!🇨🇦
Thank you! I'm glad you liked our video. I hope you check out more of our stuff.
I was lucky to have seen them a couple of times. Please watch the live concert at River Plate. I would also suggest headphones for these guys. They're for sure one of my all time favorites. I grew up rocking in the 70's and early 80's and yes we welcomed both Bon and Brian. We were just so happy to see ACDC not come to an end.
Oh I've seen that River Plate recording multiple times, and it's great!
And we have in-studio monitors, so no headphones needed.
We have a ton of AC/DC content on the channel that I hope you check out, and we recently recorded a reaction to "Through The Mists of Time." I'd love your thoughts on it: czcams.com/video/ZMcQNZ-p15E/video.html
Luv you guys!!!
Thank you! We're glad you liked our video. I hope you've already hit the subscribe button and plan on sticking around.
You dropped the ball on this one. Hells Bells is started with 13 bells. Perfect 🤘😎
If I only dropped one ball in this series then I'm doing pretty good. And I didn't drop it--I bounced it. From the left and to the right. It's my belief that my big balls....well, you know.
I still have my LP of Back in Black, bought pretty soon after it was released in the UK
It’s the royal Albert hall. Named after Prince Albert, the queen’s husband. Back in the day
And look how far Jordan from rsr reactions has come since he heard this song! For someone who initially hated rock music, he certainly took a shine to this song and to the many other rock songs thereafter!!
What i remember not long after Bon passed was the little RIP Bon Scott graffiti tags all over Sydney. They were the band for working class people in Australia (which was most of the country at the time) and loosing Bon was like loosing a son or a brother, many felt his passing, but welcomed Brian and accepted him as the new front man.
this is what i heard before the bon years ,after this came out they started playing the bon years and everyone I knew loved and embraced the older stuff as new because it was new to us but it sounded so good we were mad cause bon already died before we got to know him .but brian did such a great transition and was also kickass ,so many nights cruising to them both loud as we could ,house parties giant bonfires with two or three high schools in the connecting woods in the middle of no where with acdc on blast. I miss the 80S
Joy ❣️
Ever notice when Angus throws up that right arm hes playing one handed.
And that yea is my favorite too.
Yeah I love that moment. Angus is so awesome. "Thunderstruck" is such a perfect song.
I have enjoyed watching you guys more than any other, so I will ensure I continue. Also, I did not know Prince William love this song so much so I learned something new. I cannot understand how anyone would not jump up & down listening to this song. It is so energetic. It really puts us into a great mood. I also love you know the lyrics. x Many do not. They do not get it.
Firstly, think you so much for subscribing, and I'm so happy you liked our first two AC/DC Rockucation episodes.
In a previous comment you wrote "There should be no barriers when it comes to music." We absolutely agree. We love all kinds of music here, and we go into all of our reactions with that mindset.
I hope you dig into the Ladi's Rockucation playlist. There are some really special moments in some of those videos.
You might also like my reaction to "Shook Me All Night Long." It's an older one, but I did a lot of research on that one, and it was fun to do. czcams.com/video/YiFbypQlNk4/video.html
As a long-time AC/DC fan, you should check out our "Through the Mists of Time" reaction: czcams.com/video/ZMcQNZ-p15E/video.html
And I recently did a matchup between pre-AC/DC Bon Scott and pre-AC/DC Brian Johnson. It was a really, really fun video to do. They were truly amazing musicians before AC/DC, and it's was so neat seeing them before they became who we know them as: czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
And the last thing I'll say is that at the first of the year my wife and I spent some time in Australia, and when we were in Melbourne, the only thing I wanted to do was roam around the CBD and see all the murals and bas reliefs to Bon and the band. I walked up and down Swanston St. listening to "Long Way to the Top" and just tried to imagine what it must have been like to see the lad blasting that song on the back of flatbed truck back in 1976.
Cheers mate. Thanks for being with us. We're all on the highway to hell together, but as we both know, our friends are gonna be there, too.
Find someone older than 5 and under 90 that don't know this album exists
Some may have been skeptical but not true fans. We ran to get the album day 1
Next time you go to a sports event....count how many ac/dc songs they play ?!!!? WAY....more than anyone else except maybe Queen ?
I know! Also, watch how many other bands use AC/DC as their intro music!
Back in Black is very percussive. Brian delivers it almost like rap, rhythmically.
My big regret is I’ll never see them live, my dad was the huge fan, but I grew up with his obsession with av technology and ac/dc. We had a serious audio setup in my living room as a child in the 80’s.
I have the exact some regret. They came through a lot, but I never got to see them.
I had the same thing with Pantera. I even won front row tickets to one of their shows at Starplex, but it was on a night I had to work, and I thought, "well, they're Texas boys. I'll be able to see them again." Then they broke up. Then Dime got killed and Vinnie died.
I always tell my students that if they get a chance to see an artist, do it. Art and artists are fleeting.
I think it's really cool you pulled out the Malcolm Young part.
Thanks man. Yeah I think it's super important to understand AC/DC to fully understand Malcolm's role. He was the engine of the band.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I was around I was 20 years old when it come out .But I got in the military then we used this song in military attacks we had large speakers and we played it to the enemy and then we made our attack. You can look it up I was there I was on the 50 cal machine gun with tracers we did give them enemy's Hell .
The real bummer is that he has now lost his hearing and couldn't finish their last tour. They brought in Axel Rose for that tour and then said they are finished. Which makes me really sad because I never got to see them live.
Brian's gotten his hearing back! It's not back 100%, but he's recovered well enough that he can play again, so there's still hope for both of us!
He writes about the hearing loss in his new book, which is fantastic. I recently did a matchup between pre-AC/DC Brian Johnson and Bon Scott, and I talk a quite a bit about his book in that video. Go check it out: czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
@@LikeMindedLunatics Well that is amazing news if they tour again I'm definitely there!
Yeah, me too! And you should definitely check out Brian's book. Get the audiobook. He reads it, so it's just like you're sitting there with Brian and having him tell you his story. And it's a freaking great story.
@@LikeMindedLunatics I love books, but I prefer paper with hardbacks. I was not aware he had written a book I will look it up and add it to my collection.
@@2strokinit527 Normally I'd agree with you. I like actual printed books. But after I read it, I listened to a few chapters, and now I'm going back and listening to it. Brian actually writes in his Geordie accent, so hearing him is so, so much better. So I'd really recommend at least listening to as sample chapter of it before you get started. Or do both! That's what I'm gonna end up doing.
But whichever you do, come back and let me know what you think! No one else I know has read it and I'm desperate to talk about it!
On thunderstruck I think that's at River Platte if I'm not mistaken I can remember all of AC/DC Albums been a fan for over 45 years. They are AWESOME
Yeah, they're great.
And if you haven't seen it, Ricky and I recently reacted to "Through The Mists of Time." If you're an AC/DC fan we'd love for you to check that one out too: czcams.com/video/ZMcQNZ-p15E/video.html
The bell is the most expencive part of this video and stuff
You should also have a look at for those about to rock! Live there is nothing like the sound of that cannon fire.
Thanks, Guys!
Absolutely! Thank you for watching! ⚡️🤘🏽🎸
One of the leads they canvassed after Bons death was Noddy Holder from Slade.
🔥🔥🔥🎸😀
Bon Scotts mother wanted them to continue on. I think that she was a big factor in the band moving ahead.
This was the first album I bought with money that I had earned from working a job.
That's awesome!
If you've seen em in concert, you've seen and heard "that bell"
Malcolm young was a machine onstage and off. He kept everything together in the early years, even though, just like bon Scott,also struggled with alcohol.
A lot of band members came and went over the years. About 15 I think. What did you think of the first lead singer? Dave Evans?
He sung "can I sit next to you girl"
I've actually had "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" on my list to do for a while. I gotta be honest, I didn't feel like the magic was there with Evans. He's a good singer, no doubt, but there's just not the same fire that as there was with Scott and there is with Johnson. But that's just me.
I recently did a matchup between a pre-AC/DC Bon Scott and pre-AC/DC Brian Johnson. I'd love your thoughts on that one: czcams.com/video/NP2pgO_10eM/video.html
This was our go-to sing for Fridays at my old office. Everyone in my group adopted stripper names (everybody was cool except on person). I was Thunder. This was my theme song which was in heavy rotation in the design department on Fridays.
That sounds amazingly fun!
This was a killer album. My dad was a Marine and he hated that his 12 year old daughter loved it and every other heavy metal or punk music 🎵 🎶 I could get my hands on. We ran to get it. We were curious about what they were going to do. In 2009 or so Brian started riding out on the bell as it rolled. This is why we all know what kind of bell they use.
"My dad was a Marine and he hated that his 12 year old daughter loved it and every other heavy metal or punk music"
I know what you mean. I grew up in a very, very, very small Texas town (my graduating class had 9 people), and everyone HATED rock and metal. Hearing rock and metal made me realize there were other people like me out in the world.
