AC/DC - Bon Scott (the pirate of RocknRoll)

Amen brother Bon could sing he had range Brian Johnson was a screamer. One great album Back in Black the rest of them to me mediocre-at-best. I saw AC DC 22 times thank God I saw Bon Scott 3 times

There will never be another ANYONE, you idiot!

[@charliejeans2413]

@@jameszannino9404 what do think of 'shook me all night long' ? I think that was written by Bon was in the US with his GF. Went to do the next sound recording and "looked good was looking after himself' then......... back in black. ?

Bon was a Scot. I think many people will agree, the Scots are one tuff breed.

David Knoll its hard rock, rock n roll is mostly another genre, only some elements and influence, like a hurriganes from finland, its complete rock n roll band, yes best hard rock band in this world, that i am agree totally

You got my agreement ..... Rock hard always buddy :)

[@markhooren5530]

Bon is remembered as one of the greatest front men in rock history in any genre.

[@SuperPrince1007]

Bon Scott was the only front man in rock history who could drink a ton of serious alcohol and go on stage in concert and not forget the lyrics and miss a note. Not even the great Diamond David Lee Roth could pull that off. Bon was a legend.

saw them in their prime, on the highway to hell tour in 1979. opener, btw, was a hitherto unknown band (in Switzerland anyway) called Judas Priest.... oh dear, that stage energy of Bon and Angus, it was just amazing. To me, Bon is the best frontman and entertainer ever, with a voice like a howling sandstorm. unheard of before and after.

You can't get more rock than Bon

He was a Scotsman who lived in Fremantle Western Australia. Before he was in AC/DC he was in the Spectors , the Valentines and Fratenity where he wore clothes and was also a drummer in a pipe band. We love him in WA! 🇦🇺🙏🏻🇦🇺🙏🏻🇦🇺🙏🏻

THE BEST ROCK N ROLL BAND EVER MADE AC/DC

[@laabsenceofcol8079]

He was off the same streets as me and mine. There's a pic of him at Les Girls in Kings Cross Sydney where my grandfather was a bouncer on the door...he was a strong arm/come hitman for Lenny McPherson. They called him Lewie the Fly in that circle. I always think of my gangster gramps when Bon sings TNT ...dirty, mean and mighty unclean, he's a wanted man. Will always love Bon. Really miss that larrikin. Accadacca played at all the parties and was the backdrop to life as a kid growing up in the rough Aussie burbs of Western Sydney.

[@friguy4444]

Bon Did NOT sing in falsetto. Not that he never used it but his regular singing voice was that high naturally. Brian though does. Which he's great at. Both are/were awesome!

How many guys have you been around that drank themselves to sleep every time you went out? You can't babysit especially if you're drunk yourself. This was all Bon's fault.

[@ChrisBarnette-zk8iy]

Lemmy is the only one who knows what hes talking about.

[@wild8757]

I think Bon had that scratchy rough voice naturally where brian had to scream intentionally to make it sound similar

[@tomlewis5542]

That "natural" voice was due to a motorcycle wreck

[@mikedemike5393]

we knew him as his rose with ACDC when they were nothing..He was a aussie larrikan..even though he had the Scottish genes..He epitomised every Australian at the time..burn the candle at both ends...rage..and rage again..innocent and corrupt at the same time..a devil and child in one..he had charisma in buckets full... most Australian crews had a Scott like character...

[@dommirra5429]

I'll never forget seeing AC DC with Bon Scott in 1978 when I was 17 years old they opened for Ritchie Blackmore's rainbow where I lived they were so good it was jaw-dropping I don't think anybody knew what to do they blew rainbow right off the stage Bon Scott will always be to me the greatest rock and roll singer besides Elvis that ever lived and Angus Young unbelievable Talent I'm so fortunate to see those guys in their prime but please Angus don't make another AC DC album make a solo album of your own music without AC DC and without Axl Rose it'll be number 1 if you do time to let ACDC rest.

[@american2386]

Kelly Rodgers Bon Scott did all the hard work got them all the attention that they needed set it all up for Brian and the rest of the band hell it's been heavily said Bon Scott wrote MOST OF THE Back in Black album and I truly believe that shit it was all there for them they already had the fans sure Brian stepped up and did great but Bon would of been the absolute GREATEST.............

[@Vatch1966]

I regret that I never got the chance to witness AC/DC in concert with Bon at the realm ...I have my LET THERE BE ROCK dvd... But let's face it AC/DC would never have been able to carry on with another singer other than Brian Johnson. Brian worked very hard and earned the respect and Loyalty of fans worldwide.. Anybody see the RRHOF ceremony when Steve Tyler inducted the band??.. The fact that they had Bon's nephews onstage to accept the award is a testament to how humble AC/DC is.

[@MrRockStar70]

I saw him on their 1st U.S. Let There Be Rock Tour 3rd leg at the Roxy in Corpus Christi, Texas 1977. I was 16 yrs old, and it was a brilliant concert. I was hooked. AC/DC & Moxy

[@rosalieduffyhagart4992]

Miss you Bon & Lemmy....

[@JokersWild70]

I believe that Bon would have not only been a great guy to be around, but also a great friend to have. Let me set the record straight on a couple of things: yes, his autopsy does list the cause of death as "death by misadventure", but it ALSO lists "acute alcohol poisoning." The other thing is that he passed out in a friends car. The guy drove Bon to his (Bon's) flat, grabbed his keys, opened the door with the keys, went back out to get Bon, and in the meantime the door had closed, locked behind him, with Bon's keys now IN the flat. So the guy then takes Bon to HIS flat, calls up a friend of Bon's (after trying to lift his unconscious body weight out of the car and not being able to) and the female friend tells the guy to just leave Bon in the car, throw a blanket on him and leave a note telling Bon which flat the guy lives in so that when he wakes up, he can come up there. The guy did all of that. It was just a horrible accidental death. Its not like the guy didnt try to get Bon out of the car, plus the temperature that night was at freezing and Bon had also been seeing a doctor for several months for liver treatment. I hope that clears some misconceptions up for people that come on here and watch this. Love AC/DC, not looking to turn this into a "Bon vs. Brian" debate, but IMO, AC/DC lost something special in their music when Bon died.

[@MasaM-c2c]

JokersWild45 its matter to me, bon scott is AC/DC forever, brian johnson ruined a whole band, brian voice ruined not imago really

[@JokersWild70]

David Vincent Hey, and I can respect your opinion! They did become a totally different band when Bon died and Brian came in. Even Malcolm, who was always the undisputed leader of AC/DC has said that they would have probably never become what they did without Bon's influence. But I personally enjoy both versions, although they really lost me after "Flick of the Switch." "Ballbreaker" had a few decent songs, and "Rock or Bust" had about 3 that I like, but for me, it will always be "Powerage", "Highway to Hell", "Back in Black" as my 3 favorites. Notable mentions: "Guns for Hire", "Whole Lotta Rosie" (killer, absolutely killer), "Spellbound", "Hard as a Rock", "Jailbreak" (another fucking killer!) "Go Down" and 'Badlands."

Bon took a lot of Stevie Wrights vocalisms . Stevie was lead singer for the Easybeats, George Youngs band who were huge in australia in the 60's and had a huge hit worldwide with Friday on my Mind. Go look up Hard Road by Stevie Wright 1974, proto AC/DC

[@primtones]

And Stevie Wright sounds inspired by Rod Stewart on that track.

Booze and drugs take away the blockage that most people have to go jump on the stage and sing from the toes. I think alot of talents never get out when you stay sober.

[@LordStompyHarpLoonyTunes]

Yeah, partly true but as a performer I used to rely on drugs and alcohol and after about 15 years my bad habits made my performances worse and worse, I literally had to learn to feel OK being sober which took a few years to get the hang of. Now I'm 4 years sober I'm playing better than ever, my focus is much better

[@Hercules1-v9m]

He was drunk and he was sober. I've had one of those days.

[@trailrider759]

I grew up near sydney australia in the 80s there were a lot of larrikin Bon Scott wannabe dudes around,it was a great time, people had character then,things were wild but fun you could always find a party to gate crash or good pub to drink at,not now youve got these piss ant wannabe gangsters walking around with knives in large groups.The 90s were the last of the good days in my opinion.

First thing I'd do if I had a time machine; save Bon Scott's life and Randy Rhoads too.

[@mattbarbarich3295]

Honestly as an Aussie the only other r+r singer I can compare Bon to is the late an great Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd. The same no bullshit down to earth , us against them , no surrender mentality .Americans should celebrate Ronnie more first. Skynyrd should've never split up after the disaster just as AC/DC didn't.

My brother went to see a Ted Nugent concert in the 70s and there were two opening bands not even mentioned on the ticket. One was a bunch of weird looking German guys with a killer guitar player ( Scorpions) and the other was a bunch of Australian dudes who my brother described as , " two midgets and a sailor" . All the bands were great but the Australians were all people were talking about in the parking lot afterwards.

[@JBSTide1983]

Just slept in his car? Ive had a problem with that for a while. I frequently dive to the bottom of a bottle of Jim beam black, and ive NEVER been drunk enough to want to lie down and pass out in the back of a fuckin limo, in 30-something degree temperatures. I'm not saying there was foul play involved, but the actual truth of the story about that night and his death has never even been gotten close to. Too many of those people he was with have thier reasons for lying about what happened. And the authorities never gave a good fuck because he was just another dead rocker.
