*THIS* is the music we heard in pubs all around Australia almost EVERY night of the week in the late 60's and early 70's . . *LOUD!!!*. . Raw and exciting!' Pretty much EVERY suburb, country town and city had a live pub venue that was hot, loud and sweaty with music like this. . It's no wonder AC/DC were born from this crucible . . If your ears weren't ringing for a day or two after you heard "Thorpie and the Aztecs" play, you must have been standing out in the car park!

[@peterguest7483]

No one does a guitar band like the Aussies, ACDC , Angels, Rose Tattoo, Lobby Lloyd, Kevin Borich ( NZ),to some extent Midnight Oil, Chris Cheney and many more . The pub rock scene from 1970 for 20 years was just going OFFFFF!!!!!!!!

[@rossschabe8109]

[@lepetitoiseau]

Oh Billy - you bloody legend!

[@adamannesley5794]

BRO!!!! FUCK YES!!!! That’s a rock n roll lesson rite there. Oh and we started punk here in Australia too…😉😎

[@chriscody2778]

I saw Thorpey at my High School when I was 14 he was amazing 👍In 1973😁

[@michaelhill9254]

I would go and watch Thorpie in the pubs , it was that loud , that all your clothes would pulsate with the beat 😅

[@snarkymatt585]

How much did your favourite cardigan cost you back then?

[@kazz3956]

Before my time but GTK was a show and stood for “Getting To Know” and was on from 1969 to 1975 on ABC Australia…..

[@lepetitoiseau]

absolutely !" Get To Know" was the Australian equivalent to the British broadcasting " The Old Grey whistle Test "

[@petermcculloch4933]

The show ran for ten minutes and aired at 6.30, five nights a week.Doctor Who followed at 6.40 p.m..

[@chezzachezza7325]

Most people I know think that I'm crazy reactions mateeeee 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Absolutely, Most People I know - that was my theme song as a teenager lol. Billy was brilliant, vocally and as a musician.

[@rossalynsmith5253]

Billy went to America for about 15 to 20 years and then he came back to Australia. He wrote 2 books. I saw him a few time when he came back to Australia. Billy died in February 2017 RIP

I want to say so many things about this, but I'll just leave it at: I enjoyed watching your face feel the heat.

[@maskofsorrow]

Gets the heart, right from the start!

[@ariesred777]

Rory, Billy Thorpe's finest performance was "Live at Boggo Road Gaol" Brisbane Australia Matured professional and insanely gifted Australian rock and Roll Legend Worth checking out this concert and getting a grip on his character No one on KZbin has reacted to any of his later brilliant performances

[@laurawatters914]

That was awesome!! Incredible guitar playing!! Remind of Fog Hat at beginning, very LOUD, only way to hear it!! Love the passion and emotion you know how I feel about that! Incredible vocals, got my heart pounding 💓. Awesome reaction Rory, i swear you should of been born in the 60's. I love the smiles, their having a great time jamming. That was 🔥thank you who ever requested this SOOO GOOD!! 😊💓🤘✌️

[@alliegal45]

Memories … yup I’m that old 😢😂❤

[@LydellC]

😳🤔🔥😎✌️ Mamaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@kcinsti]

Songs like this remind you that just amping up doesn't = heavy. It's attitude and drive and conviction. For instance Helmet's Meantime is one of the heaviest albums I've ever heard bc of those factors.

[@jessem470]

I love this ! Pub Rock had so many great bands Billy in Australia Dr Feelgood and Ian Dury in UK Dictators here in NY Incredible choice and perfect reaction

[@Andrew-jh5uv]

25 y.o Billy here jesus imagine being there

[@notanotherenigma7759]

I subscribed to your channel for the Queen reactions, but loving you dive into our homegrown Aussie music. Thanks mate. Oh, and I think this might have been inspired by English bands like Black Sabbath, Uriah Heap and early Deep Purple... I think ..

[@Rassskle]

Thorpie was doing this stuff before we ever heard about those bands...... Deep Purple being the first we got here in Oz, then Sabbath and then Led Zepplin with the release of Whole Lotta Love from their 2nd album. Only Iron Butterfly might have been known here before Thorpie discovered blues and rock. It was the classically trained pianist and blues guitar legend , Lobby Lloyd, who inspired Thorpie to move away from POP ( the Mersey Sound, etc ) and play real blues inspired rock as loud as possible.

[@barbararees604]

That's pretty much typical guitar for a lot of Aussie bands from late 60's through to late 70's and early 80's.

[@grahamjohnbarr]

I knew Billy from "Birdland" in Brisbane in the early 60's. The young boy from Longreach outback Queensland. Birdland was a Sound Lounge. They all had Live Bands in those days.

[@PaulA-bv1rt]

Be Bop a Lula by the same band is magic.

[@Rassskle]

Thorpie the Wild Blues / Rock superstar was very different to the original child singer loved by Brisbane’s gangsters who became Australia’s No 1 POP idol in the early 1960’s, before being reborn as a wild blues and loud rock force of nature.

[@macman1469]

GTK - Getting The Know . Groovy times .

[@chriscody2778]

This was WELL BEFORE Oasis 👍

[@1750Rod]

GTK; "Get To Know"

[@richardrejmer8721]

No effects pedals. . . Just a Les Paul Gibson and a Marshall amp *CRANKED!!* . . That's all you need. . And that's what AC/DC still use. .

[@Andrew-jh5uv]
