First Time Hearing AC/DC - Hells Bells Reaction Video - AGAIN?! AC/DC DOESN'T MISS!!

[@karlsmith2570]

2:28 Fun Fact for you Phil and Sam: The bell you hear tolling in the opening of this song, they'd tried to record it from a bell in a church tower near where they were recording the album, and every time they tolled the bell, they picked up the fluttering of wings from the pigeons that had picked that spot to roost, thus ruiningthefootage, so they'd had to go to the actual bell foundry where the bells were made have one cast and the tolling you hear was the test tolling after it came out of the mold

[@Respecttheriff]

I am always amazed when an adult of any background says "first time hearing"; Back in Black, Hells Bells or Highway to Hell, Paranoid or many other popular rock songs. Maybe first time actually paying attention to such songs, but these songs are so deeply embedded in culture, my grandparents have heard most of these songs...just unbelievable. I'm honestly curious how you become an adult human without having heard many of these songs.

[@slainteron4027]

Yep, First time hearing this, first time hearing Bohemian Rhapsody, or Who Are These Guys.... mind numbing

[@markmurphy558]

I don't understand why this idea of "never heard this" is such an underpinning of the reaction genre. I don't believe half of their protestations about not hearing the songs, not that it makes any difference, I just hate them lying about it.

[@kevinm3428]

The death of radio killed the opportunity of young people today to hear things that aren’t on your music streaming service. In my youth of the late 70’s and early 80’s, we all knew music from the older kids, as they played on radio stations we all were listening to. Needless to say, modern ‘music’ is created with computer enhancements, and therefore lacks technical musicianship, artistry and really sucks.

[@RobertJuzstone]

because they're lying and most if not all of these reaction channels are fake.

[@kingscorpion7346]

back in the day, when I was a teenager and watching MTV in the early 1980's, one of the things that always caught my eye about AC/DC was Angus, not just that he played lead guitar, but how he played it. in my junior year of high school, the school hosted a talent show for the students to be in. me and a group of friends did a lip-sync/air guitar performance of AC/DC with me playing the lead guitar part, and it just wouldn't seem right if I didn't do it just like Angus did! shorts, hat and all. when I was getting ready to graduate a year later, people were still talking about our performance!

[@garylagstrom3864]

I saw AC/DC on the Highway to Hell tour and Bon Scott one of the best unique voices in Rock! Sorely missed! I saw AC/DC on Back in Black in 1980 and For Those About to Rock We Salute You in 1981. Brian Johnson was the perfect fit for AC/DC after Bon passed. Brian was a unique voice just like Bon’s voice was unique. Love them both!

[@EbDawsonIV]

AC/DC has the best fans! Well deserved. They never wrote for radio play. Just gave us pure Rock an Roll!

[@cdfdesantis699]

Think I've said this before, but listening to the studio versions 1st is best, simply for the purity of the music. Live versions are great, for the pure pleasure of seeing the artists perform. Terrific song from the "thunder from Down Under"! Thanks for your reaction.

I've been an Acca Dacca fan for decades (thanks to my Australian friend for telling me about that nickname). I've always appreciated Brian not metaphorically stepping into Bon's shoes when he joined the band, he went his own way and his voice is so iconic now. RIP Bon and Malcolm 🙏

My first concert with AC/DC was with Bon Scott. It's really wild that they both have that specific sound. Great band.

[@geneadams4171]

I was lucky enough to see these guys with both singers---Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. AC/DC was pure energy. Even though their songs were inspired by basic blues, they turned it up several notches and created a sound all their own. AC/DC was another band that invaded my teen years and was played almost inclusively at keggers and in high school parking lots. It was a great ride to be on. I am glad you guys are giving them their due on your wonderful channel. For a different pace, check out their song, Ride On. Keep them coming guys.

I saw AC/DC for the Back In Black Tour in the summer of 1981 at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, IN. They opened the show with this song...and there was a huge bell that descended from the roof...and Brian was riding it! , pretending to strike it in rhythm with the song. That show was my first (and still best) rock concert memory. Fanboi moment: At one point, Angus got on Brians shoulders as Brian ran through the floor level crowd with Angus on his back, I got to touch the legendary Angus leg as he passed by, rocking out to a great guitar solo.

9:41 Hey, Sam, in reference to Angus' schoolboy uniform that hhe wears as part of the act. That goes back to when they werw starting out, Angus would oftentimes go to rehearsal straight after school without even changing out of his school uniform and his sister actually made schoolboy uniform outfits for him regarding this as he'd eventually graduate to wearing normal clothes on-stage. Also, the band got their name from the AC/DC plug on the back of their sister's sewing machine and not realizing that AC/DC was also a slang term for bisexuality

If you want to see one of the best live performances ever caught on tape (of ANY band), you need to check out the live version of "Riff Raff" from 1978. Like you were saying though....listen to the studio version first. The live version is just unbelievably epic, and even more so when you consider that it's the OPENING SONG to the show.

[@wallacewhipps1206]

In the beginning of this song, the bell is played out. 13 rings are rung to symbolize Bon's Scott's life.

I saw them three times in the 80’s & they had this Big Ass Bell come down on stage. Epic.

The best way to watch AC/DC is any song live at River Plate in 2009. It's insane. Start with Hells Bells first live at River Plate then next Highway to Hell as Angus comes up from *under* the stage with smoke as if coming up from Hell. Next at River Plate should be Whole Lotta Rosie.
