First Time Hearing AC DC Thunderstruck (THIS IS INSANE!!!)

[@perrybernard6064]

This video was made back in 1990... 31 years ago. Let that sink in... I'm 57 yrs old. You didn't eat breakfast without ACDC when I was growing up..

[@beccadoo01]

This is the perfect example of why people my age say they don't make this kind of music anymore. Younger people are just discovering it, and it's awesome to watch their reactions. 😊🤘

[@spoonunit03]

Yeah, I may be a year late replying to your comment but the kids today are decades late to boss music. (Saw AC/DC in 1980) Awesomeness to the max. :)

[@CoolClearWaterNM]

AC/DC Was my 40s/50s. Yes, I know I am replying to a 2 year plus old comment. That said, my grand daughter introduced me to Ningen Isu, and now the great grands have been playing Band Maid. Great rock did not die in America (as I thought), it just moved overseas.

[@finni-h2x]

[@gragrn]

The lead singers name is Brian Johnson, he is a rock legend as is the whole band. The lead guitarist is Angus Young who is revered by all other guitarists as one of the best there has ever been. This is pure hard rock, nothing more, nothing less. Enjoy your journey!

If you don’t move when you hear AC/DC you are dead inside! One of my all time favorite bands! Thanks for a great reaction! As a 57 yr old grandma it warms my heart to see young people get to see what we took for granted at the time! Enjoy!!!

[@wintermochiyuki1809]

I first heard this song in 1996 walking into a pub somewhere up North with an ex-forces friend on a Friday afternoon. Four days and one epic bender later I woke up back at home with a copy of their album on cassette tape, about two dozen large sausage rolls and absolutely no idea what had happened over the last 72 hours. Damn good song...

[@maryalicegonzales2701]

I feel ya baby, saw them withthe late BON SCOTT ( god rest him) ..awesome

It’s a long way to the shop If you want a sausage roll!!!😂

Welcome to AC/DC. If you want to see them perform in front of 73,000 lit people, watch them live at River Plate. If you want to see lead guitarist Angus Young perform about 20 minutes of rocking guitar solo, watch Let There Be Rock (live at River Plate).

[@cherstmartin]

I think you got Thunderstruck. Welcome to Rock. Enjoy your venture into musical history.

Warms my 64 yr old heart to see the younger generation enjoying some REAL ROCK. Rest in peace MALCOLM YOUNG, you were only my age when you passed. ROCK ON

When ACDC plays an outdoor show, you can hear them from 50 blocks away, in a city.

Welcome to the rabbit hole called acdc hombre. If you got the chops go find anything from their 3 nights in a row concerts at River Plate in Argentina in Dec of 2009. After all the lads are best tasted live in my humble opinion!!!!!!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😍😍😍🎸🎸🎸🤩😎🍸 PS please turn up the volume on your videos. You sound great but the music from the videos well not so much!!!!! 🎸

[@derekmunson3695]

Back in Black AC/DC Live in Donington. Everyone here is going to tell you to check out their live concert at River Plate, which is very awesome, but I think their Donington performance was better because they were in their prime then. Anything live from AC/DC is awesome.

[@Highway-Hobo]

Totally agree. Donnington was them at their peak

[@dreamweaver8913]

Took our 30 year old son to see these guys in Chicago back when he was 13. His first concert and favorite band. It was a pretty awesome night!

[@TheRealRodent]

When most bands struggle to play one song that was written for them... Angus plays his own intro... one handed.

[@keithdunahee4990]

It's absolutely crazy how lucky they got finding a replacement for Scott that sounded so close to him it was scary

[@moosetruck66]

Yes, absolutely. Somebody commented and said it's probably the smoothest transition in Rock history.

[@antonnym214]

The lead singer is Brian Johnson. He was born in Dunston, County Durham, England. Even now, at age 74, he holds his own with anyone on Planet Earth, having recorded in 2020 a NEW album with AC/DC called Power Up. Angus Young is the lead guitarist, and considered among the best in the world, although Angus himself said his brother Malcolm (Rhythm player in the band. Wearing the darker blue shirt in this video) was a better guitarist. I saw them in Atlanta at the Omni, and they were beyond brilliant. The best show EVER.

[@phildicks4721]

Many of his fellow musicians considered Malcolm Young to be the best and most consistant Rythmn guitarist in the world.

[@jonasstarr6086]

You've missed out on so much if this is the first time hearing AC/DC. They're pure rock and roll.

[@daviddelaet8116]

I don't know if you will read this or not. I have seen many reaction videos to AC/DC Thunderstruck, you are the first one to notice Angus Young playing the lead in one handed. Well done! That's just Angus being Angus 😆.

[@MrYamahafz750]

this is good old Aussie rock n roll

[@al4904]

Brian is not Scottish, he is English. But yeah, everybody knows AC/DC are without doubt the best ever rock band to originally come from Scotland.

[@stevecunningham427]

When the band first started up in Melbourne the lead singer was bon scott who died in London in the back of a taxi suffocating on his own vomit after a big night on the trips. The other origanal band member's where born in the uk and immigrated to Australia when they where kids.

[@PaulMartin-zc9oj]

A great band been around for decades even with the tragedy of their original singers death. Brian Johnson singing in this song started with them on their Back in Black album. But to really vamp things up a bit give Rammstein a listen. I would suggest Du Hast Live in Paris this band has a devout following and their entertainment value is just awsome.

[@stevehessle1959]

First saw AC/DC right back at the start in 76. That was when Bon Scott was lead singer. 63 now and still a massive fan.

[@mozzmann]

Never heard of AC/DC they recorded many of their album's in the UK. I feel so sorry for you to have never listened to AC/DC . Brian Johnson was a member of a British Rock group and was recruited to fill the hole left after Bon Scott's demise .

I have been listening to AC/DC since the 70's and they are still touring and putting new albums. Much love to you and your families Brandi Modrak.

[@antonnym214]

Now you might understand why we old-school rockers who were around in the '70s think today's music SUCKS. We grew up being spoiled by world-class music like AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Bob Seger, Journey, Def Leppard, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Starship, Led Zepplin, Ozzie Osbourne, BeeGees, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers, Don McLean, Kansas, Queen, Elton John, Styxx, Yes, Rush, Bad Company, Jethro Tull, Steely Dan, Foghat, Kiss... I could go on, but you get the idea. If we knew how bad music was going to suck today, we would have appreciated it more then.

For the ultimate Angus (lead guitar) experience try "Let their be rock" at the Apollo in Glasgow. (this is with the original singer, who died in 1980). Angus makes the energizer bunny seem lethargic, most of his solos are performed while he is vigorously head banging.

They are all skeptical at first but they are rockin out by the end. I grew up with this music. The 80s and early 90s had the best music

[@cree_VI]

well, there are many different rock and metal sub-genres, for every music taste. This song is very hype, just can't stay still

[@goldenchild4835]

Malcolm and Angus Young are part of Australian rock n roll royalty. Their older brother George was a member of the fabulous Easy Beats (1964-69). George together with other ex-Easy Beats member Harry Vander would go onto produce early ACDC songs when they started out in 1973. (George Young and Harry Vander are the subjects of Dire Straits hit, Sultans of Swing). It's said that Angus Young developed his "duck walk" from having to dodge bottles throw at him on stage in Australian pubs in the '70s. Their concert Live at The River Plate is a massive anthology of ACDC hits!

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

[@jeffmelnick1332]

AC/DCs' Lead vocalist for this son is Bryan Johnson. I like to think he gargled hot asphalt as a kid to get that sound. (Not true ) but that spitting gravelly voice would explain it. Try "If you want blood, you got it" from the original vocalist 'Bon Scott You don't have to react. Just listen to the studio version. You'll see why Bryan Johnson filled his shoes after he died.

[@haarspeld]

On July 13, 1979, the band came to the Netherlands for a performance in the Rijnhal in Arnhem, especially for Veronica's Countdown. This was the introduction to the Netherlands, their music was so loud that the cameramen wore ear protection, which was unprecedented in that period. see:kzbin.info/www/bejne/apnLnYSLZd93pqM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/aobGo6pjr5mNfpY

[@robin9876]

Let's not forget Bon Scott! RIP. Kick ass that Brian Johnson's voice fits just right! Saw them 5 times - luckily saw Bon before he died. But love Brian! And let's not forget Malcolm! RIP. He wrote most of the music & just wanted to rock out hard. Cool brothers! (& they have a musician brother & cool sister who named them)

[@micahhawkins-bs9gf]

Believe it or not, Brian Johnson's speaking voice is a baritone growl. One of the most iconic, 'trademark' sort of voices in Rock & Roll. And what can you say about Angus Young? A frickin' Jedi Master of Rock & Roll guitar. His brother Malcolm, God rest him, doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves for holding the whole thing together with the rhythm guitar work that was the reinforced concrete foundation of AC⚡DC's signature sound. My boys bring the heat every d__n time.

How's he doing it with one hand? Pure talent, son.

[@xenotbbbeats7209]

As a guitarist, I'll let you in on a little secret. It's much easier to play that dittie with one hand. If you know how to hammer and pull off, it saves you from having to try and pick it. What's the most amazing about that bit is that most guitarist would find it very taxing to do that for as long as he did at 134 BPM without your fingers cramping and crapping out on you. Angus' fingers are the equivalent of a marathon runners legs. He's easily one of the greatest. You ought to give Danny Garton a listen. Many guitarists have publicly said he was the best but he's little known. He suffered a stroke and committed suicide, sadly. He is touted as having the fastest fingering of them all.
