A LITTLE EXTRA CUSHION FOR THE PUSHIN'?! First Time Hearing AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie Reaction!

[@timwhitnell7145]

One of the most underrated aspects of AC/DC is the amazing rhythm guitar playing by Angus' brother Malcolm (RIP). He literally drives the rhythm of most of their songs.

[@Reaperfighter04]

He is the best rythem guitarist in the world for a reason

[@axzyzzen]

Malcolm was also the heart and soul of this band he created and ruled for so long

[@markhill9275]

Fun fact, Angus has been quoted as saying he isn't even the best guitarist in his family, actually referring to older brother George, who was in a very famous group, The Easybeats, in the 60's, had a big hit with Friday on My Mind!

[@Richardtv1968]

R.I.P. Bon …….. you were the best, the most energetic …… pure rock & roll

[@katayfa]

I think he was one of the top 5 greatest front men of all time. Jim Morison, Robert Plant, Stevie Wright, Bon Scott Michael Hutchinson just my educated opinion.

[@bean11441]

Bon telling the actual story about the real Rosie is hysterical

[@corneliuscrewe677]

One of the funniest things I’ve ever heard 😆😆👍

[@JonMinnis]

paraphrasing.... "she just kinda put it on me.... i had to succumb."

[@mitchellbeston1033]

Bon had a charisma and cheekiness that just oozed from his performances. He was a rock God and one of my favourite frontmen. His voice is like two alley cats fighting...pure gold! I think ACDC were at their peak right before Bon died unfortunately.

[@plane-crashes-aussie-stories]

And his image was what he was really like. Same for all of them. They were just a bunch of young blokes and they never got big heads. They talk to their fans just like a normal conversation. That's one of the reasons Australia loves them and is so proud of them.

[@micheleevans4960]

Agreed. You can just see that mischievous glint in his eyes. Loved him. Crazy and fun!

[@minigirl6839]

Bon Scott was THE VOICE of AC DC. Brian tried.....bless his heart. If you want to hear the most powerful songs, listen to the early stuff with Bon. Touch Too Much and Shot Down In Flames will blow your minds.👌

[@landogermaine4175]

Walk all over you Beating around the bush. The Highway to Hell album is awesome!

[@tomfabozzi5353]

Almost all their stuff with Bon was high energy. They were pure energetic rock and roll, which was why all the punks liked them as well as the rockers. Bon’s lyrics could be smutty, but he had a real turn of phrase, and a very cheeky sense of humour. He could also be a bit of a street poet. It’s a Long Way to the Top, Downpayment Blues and Night Prowler are all good examples of his lyrical style. Brian was never much of a lyricist, and the Young brothers wrote all the lyrics from about 3 albums after Brian joined. Brian has the higher range, Bon had more of the element of danger. Both great frontmen

[@therapinape9757]

Bon was wayyyy better than

[@bernie4366]

Brian can't rhyme 'moon' with 'june'. He's not anywhere near the level of Bon Scott musically. RIP.

[@marcuspfister2047]

Agree with everything. For me the song "Ride On" shows that they could do blues ballads brilliantly, too. Bon had a wider range of styles. But I cannot decide wich one I like better Bon or Brian. Both of them hit it and as long as Bon is dead Brian has to do the job anyway

[@wildwillie5408]

Bon made AC/DC what it was. the lyrics the music the charisma all screams Bon. Back in black is the only album with Brian that measures up and yet it's still not the same. After B in B things really went downhill which leads to the question how much of B in B was Bon responsible for? Circumstantial evidence says he had a lot to do with B in B. To me AC/DC with Brian is like an AC/DC tribute band. It really becomes obvious when they do Bon songs with Brian, it just doesn't cut it. Brian sounds like he's constipated and trying to get out a good shit

[@paulyjbluey6408]

Bon was the KING!! Full Stop!!!!! The ultimate street poet!!!! Tough hard livin' man!!! I saw him with AC/DC when I was 12 years old at a very small theatre. It was a game changer!!!!! Brian Johnson is a great screamer but Bon is an amazing VOCALIST!! HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!

[@brittvdr806]

I was 13 years old, heard this song and was adicted. I'm a grandmother now, still listening to ACDC with my grandchildren. Highway to Hell is also a favorite of mine. Listen to these two songs everyday, sometimes after waking up. Immediately happy 😊 😃 Thanks you two. Kudos from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@bradsullivan2495]

The band's record company asked Bon Scott to change the number reference right before the high-energy phase begins. They thought it was a phone number but Bon explained that it was simply her measurements (or a close proximity).

[@gerardgrywacheski1418]

Brian Johnson became the lead singer of AC/DC around 1979/1980 and his vocals were on the Back in Black album!! On a side note, his audition song for lead vocalist for the band was actually Whole Lotta Rosie!! Thanks for reacting to this song, I hope you guys react to more AC/DC Bon Scott Era songs and videos in the near future. Keep up the great work, I always enjoy watching your reaction videos!!

[@Barry-n2j]

solo with angus violently headbanging from start to finish in his earlier years...quite the talent...rip bon...rip malcom

[@KRAMPUS_420]

Not all AC/DC songs are this high energy. To slow things down a bit listen to Ride On off of the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap album in 1976 originally release only in Europe and Australia. Then later in 1980 it was released in the US. I saw them at the Polaris Amphitheatre in Columbus, Ohio in 1996. Rosie onstage is definitely a site to behold. Angus did a guitar solo from a lift crane in which he stripped down to his Union Jack underwear. It was the Ball Breaker World Tour and to start the show Angus came swinging onto stage riding a wrecking ball. Forget about Miley, Angus did it first. 😁

[@chiefsohcahtoa3285]

Ride On is a great blues tune.

[@steffenjonda8283]

Who wears undewear? Angus got old... early on you could kiss his blank a§§ :D

[@richardvannatter3113]

I was at that concert along with most of the gang from work! The only two things wrong with the concert were that it wasn't loud enough and wasn't long enough!

[@m.gideonhoyle409]

If you want to hear some great AC/DC slow burners, try Ride On or Gone Shootin'... They're both killer tunes.

[@Hades-my4jq]

Ride On has to be the most underrated ACDC song. The closest they ever came to writing a ballad.

[@steffenjonda8283]

For me - a HUGE ACDC fan, Ride on is the best ACDC-song, followed by DirtyDeeds and JailBreak.

[@Jamesscearce]

If I could only see one song played live it would be "Whole Lotta Rosie" by ACDC, preferably with Bon Scott... pure uncut rock and roll that ACDC nails every time. Angus Young's best performance.

[@scotmhead]

Rosie was a real person in New Zealand. In Malcom's bio they talk about her quite extensively. Fun times.

[@ThomasRyan-nf3wx]

Rosie was not from New Zealand, she was from Tasmania...

[@m.gideonhoyle409]

The guitar riff for this song and Bad to the Bone dates back to old blues tunes... It's just one of the classic motifs.

[@sumonjamal1653]

George Thorogood (and the Destroyers) did 'Bad to the bone'... but that came out in 1982. 'Whole lotta Rosie' came out in 1977... initially, it wasn't a single (per se) but the live version in 1978 from the AC/DC live album "If you want blood - You've got it" made it a fan fave. Originally, Bon Scott wrote the song 'Dirty eyes' and sang a demo version that was recorded in 1976 w/ AC/DC... The story was that AC/DC did a show in Tasmania in their early days, and Bon Scott went to the bars after the concert... He met a stripper there, who was an overweight woman and she grabbed his arm and took him to bed... Bon was so impressed w/ her skills in the sack that he re-wrote the same track as 'Whole lotta Rosie' for their 1977 album 'Let there be rock'... Apparently a year later, AC/DC went back to Tasmania and Bon went looking for her - he was disappointed to find out that she had lost a lot of weight 🤣 Brian Johnson sang 'Whole lotta Rosie' at his audition in 1980 and has performed it in concert since. Some of AC/DC's 80's albums were not as popular, but had some of their most aggressive songs - 'Flick of the switch' (1983) and 'Fly on the wall' (1985)... Songs like - 'Shake your foundations' ... 'Landslide' ... 'This house is on fire' ... 'Playing with girls'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@magnus100100]

Actually Muddy Waters played a similar riff a long time ago in the song "Manish Boy", so this riff used by Thorogood and AC/DC is much older than those artists. There is many old blues riffs that can be found in many songs.

[@mrgraham5521]

The opening guitar riff is incredible live. In between each riff , the entire crowd yells " Angus. ". Chills every time.

[@Gr8Buccaneer]

in a live version you would see how effortless it looks for bon to get his voice to this sound.no red head,no venes pumping at his neck,he just did it.also at the beginning,the crowd uses to yell ANGUS beween the riffs.

[@NoahFroio]

42" 39" 56" weighing in at 19 stone (266 lbs.), Rosie was definitely a whole lotta woman, so glad that you are exploring the Bon Scott days - there are only 57 songs over 7 albums, but all of them were bangers, enjoy the ride!!

So true... all ACDC-songs are good or great, but some are even better.

'Let There Be Rock' the No1 AC/DC album, Go Down and Overdose are two of the best, while Bad Boy Boogie, Let There be Rock and Whole Lotta Rosie are AC/DC classics. The best version of 'Rosie' is without doubt the live version on the 'If You Want Blood' Album. Probably the song most responsible for the arthritis in my neck 40+yrs on.

I used to have a VHS tape (official release) of this tour. It has been a long time since I last saw it (not sure I even have it anymore), but during one song, Angus Young is running around, headbanging, and doing his high energy two step dancing / running around the stage and then a camera shot shows him back stage, STILL PLAYING THE SONG, while someone holds a mask up to him to give him OXYGEN! Then he takes back off to the races again!

1980. Bon Scott died on the same day as my dad. February 11, 1980. Brian Johnson came along a few months later. Bon Scott was their 2nd singer (Dave Evans was there the first year) and like Malcolm Angus,and Cliff Williams (bass) he was born in Scotland and moved to Australia as a kid after a few harsh Scottish winters. Bon took them from obscurity to the top of the mountain by 1979 after relentless Aussie and English touring. Their tour in the US in 1977 didn't garner much but word of mouth advertising and it was 1979s Highway to Hell that caused the US to release 3 of their previous albums that same year when they were hot. Brian is from Newcastle England, and has done perfectly well taking over for the beloved Bon.

[@j0hnf_uk]

Thank you for reacting to the album version of this song. Despite the later live version that usually gets reacted to by the majority of KZbin channels, is well worth the experience, I feel the original recording with Bon Scott lends a whole new experience what with the sheer energy and power behind it, pushing things to the limit. A great closer to this particular album that is legendary from beginning to end.

The story of how Brian got the job, as second vocalist -Bon saw him, and his band in a club, when Ac-Dc were in England. Bon Scot’s family, were Scottish. They moved to Australia, Fremantle, up river from Perth, on the west, on the Indian Ocean. After Bon died, they memorialized him with a statue. I’ve visited Oz’. (Watch the video for “it’s a long way to the top” where AC/DC ride on a truck, up a street in Melbourne, with Bagpipers, and Bon took lessons on the Pipes. (I did too!) So, AC-Dc were in England, and Bon went to a club, and this singer was “howling”….Brian J’, from Newcastle, up near the border from Scotland, was the singer. It was really his appendix had ruptured (I also had that experience -pain!) So, Brian was trying to get through this concert, in a club, in pain, really for the money, and his band. Yet, Bon Scot, is reported to have gone back to his band and told about this concern with a howling singer. And, when Bon died of alhohol overdose in 1979,…they searched for this guy to howl in Bob’s place.

Brian is the third vocalist not the second. Dave Evans was before Bon

AC/DC live with Bon Scott was the ultimate ROCK concert, yet i never listened to their recorded stuff. lol Recommend any live video of Bon from the Apollo.......especially Let There Be Rock......the extended energy will exhaust you. Also Bon and the boys doing Dirty Deeds , TNT , Long Way To The Top and many more live......always live.
