74 JAILBREAK 🤘🏻

[@HairMetalGuru419]

We didn't include it because it's an EP, but we should have spent a little time on it, regardless. My bad.

[@jayjohnson9452]

If I were to rank their entire catalogue these 5 would be my top 5. Love all 5, it's tough to rank them, but going by which ones I play the most my order would be : 1. Powerage 2. Let There Be Rock 3. High Voltage 4. Highway To Hell 5. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

[@HairMetalGuru419]

Wow, cool list but definitely surprising to see Highway that low. Thanks for sharing, man.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

@@HairMetalGuru419 Overall though Highway To Hell comes in #4 in my overall ranking of all their albums which is pretty good, I just really really like Powerage, Let There Be Rock and High Voltage.🤟

[@brockbartley2541]

the correct list!

[@ajgohr7479]

Great video, guys. Love AC/DC and always been a Bon Scott era guy. Nothing beats it for me, not even Back in Black. My list would be 5. Dirty Deeds 4. High Voltage 3. Let There be Rock 2. Highway to Hell 1. Powerage

[@HairMetalGuru419]

Thanks for the kind words, my man, and for sharing your list. Much appreciated.

[@mattc560]

I'm looking forward to the rest of this series! My ranking is as follows: 1) Highway to Hell 2) Powerage 3) Let There Be Rock 4) High Voltage 5) Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Honestly, its neck and neck between these 5! I know Jailbreak 74 didn't qualify, but "Jailbreak" might be my top 2 or 3 favorite ACDC songs. Part 2 is gonna be really hard to rank too. Back in Black is my #1 of the 80s but after that it gets tricky

[@HairMetalGuru419]

Part II will be out this week! Yeah, I made a mistake not at least mentioning 74 Jailbreak... uggh. After Highway to Hell the other 4 were really up in the air for me on this episode. Thanks, Brother!

[@JimbobZ17]

Powerage is killer 🤘🏻 The people who only listen to back in black and the hits are missing out on a great album. Enjoyed the video

[@HairMetalGuru419]

Thanks for the kind words, Brother, and I'm right there with you... people need to go deeper.

Doctor Eddie Ganja Here I first got into ACDC in 1978 saw there performance on The Midnight Special then I saw live 1978 Columbus Ohio Veterans Auditorium They were explosive and loud high energy the whole house was rocking with ACDC and after that I was hooked Love ACDC

[@Hwy13La]

Dudes , Ride On is so got damn understated .. it’s literally a top ten for me with AC⚡️DC. Girls Got Rhythm is another lesser killer. Got myself a one way ticket , going the wrong way …

[@HairMetalGuru419]

Yeah, Ride On, what a surprise from a band like AC/DC.

There was a semi truck and the owner spray painted in big 6 foot letters along both sides of the 52 foot trailer BON SCOTT LIVES , about a week after his passing, for back in the day that was a super fanatic solid fan, RIP BON

Awesome, man, maybe I'll run into you in Fargo sometime.

[@masonmixon8031]

Down Payment Blues is Top 5 AC/DC song to me. And I saw Angus say it was Eddie Van Halen’s favorite AC/DC song.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Bon Scott AC/DC is gold, yes Brian was/is good, but Bon was special. I can listen to any AC/DC 70's album and enjoy.

[@HairMetalGuru419]

I'm right there with you, Brother.

[@MotleyDawg034]

AGREED…Bon Scott🤘💀🤘

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Love that you mentioned Morrison. The Doors is one of my favorite bands. You'll be surprised my favorite artist of all time. Can't guessed it I'm sure. Being a 80's teen and loving hair metal, that is not what I grew up on (hint).

[@HairMetalGuru419]

I hear you. Always been infatuated by Morrison... I'm not a huge fan of The Doors' music... like it, don't love it. But Morrison and his story have always intrigued me.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

@@HairMetalGuru419 I got hooked on the Doors and KISS at the same time in the early 90's from my Army buddy. I grew up on 50's rock, so Elvis is my favorite artist off all time. From there it's....Hank Williams Jr., KISS, Doors, Buddy Holly, Ronnie James Dio (any version of him), Beach Boys. Like I said I grew up with the 50's, then loved hair bands as a teen in the 80's and then discovered 70's rock. After 91' stopped listening to mainstream music.

[@xxremy300xx9]

Bon got his teeth replaced right before they did Highway… Plus there were killer tunes on 74 Jailbreak… even if it wasn’t a full length…love that you covered Bon era AC⚡️DC!

Hey, Brother, thanks for watching and supporting the channel, man. And, yeah, fuckin' Bon-era AC/DC rules.

Highway to hell is the first record I bought with my first summer jobs first payday at the BX on minot a f b. And I still own it

[@jeremiahrose4681]

I mentioned to a vocalist reaction channel yesterday to react to "Ride On" love Bon's vocals in that song.

[@robbnasinovish]

cool show guys; Highway to Hell is probably my favorite front to back but man......Powerage is like VH's "Fair Warning" album for Bon era AC/DC. More aggression in the songs and attitude from the others. Keep it rollin. 🎸🗜

[@HairMetalGuru419]

Hey, thanks for the kind words, man, I really appreciate it.

[@Weareconnected167]

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap to me is the quintessential AC/DC record

[@HairMetalGuru419]

I hear you--fuckin' love that album.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Just to let you know, two out of my three favorite AC/DC songs are "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" and "Jailbreak"...the 3rd is a Brian Johnson's AC/DC song, "Who Made Who".

[@HairMetalGuru419]

I don't think Who Made Who gets enough credit in the grand scheme of AC/DC.

Would you ever rank the KISS 70's albums?

[@HairMetalGuru419]

That will be coming in the very near future!

[@jeremiahrose4681]

@@HairMetalGuru419 Just be fair to KISS, I know people love them or despise them, but they had talent in their band. Even, gulp, into the 80's love Carr's drumming (my favorite KISS drummer) and Kulick was really good at guitar. In saying that 70's raw KISS was.... like it or not told everyone F' off, "like me or get loss" ...KISS was something for sure. That's Rock N' Roll.

[@tommytwo9479]

The the fact that Brian Johnson was stripped lyric writing duty says it all it was a long time coming in my opinion two decades were wasted due to Brian Johnson’s ineptitude the Angus Brothers deserved better

[@tommytwo9479]

And I still strongly that when people say well back in black, and for those about to rock, great albums, those two directly Can be attributed to Scott and the Angus Brothers

[@HairMetalGuru419]

@@tommytwo9479 Yeah, there's a lot of controversy about whether or not Bon actually wrote the lyrics on Back In Black... crazy shit.

[@eijiroinouye4115]

Bon is like a tennis 🎾 player that plays with a wooden raquet and Brian is like a tennis 🎾 player that plays with a carbon fiber raquet. Bon sounds drunk 🥴 Brian sounds sober and sharp. Bon doesn’t have the horsepower that Brian has.

[@romansalmon]

Love Bonn Scott. He was the sound of ac dc. Don’t break my balls,but he was ac dc. Come on, after fly on the wall,they got boaring until the razors edge. They really had one other good album which was ballbreaker. Than I got into better things in my opinion.sorry for saying that but that’s how i feel Johnson is not all there all the time and as crazy as Bonn was . Than,no body could match Scott.

[@tommytwo9479]

Hair metal bands are so far removed from Bon Scott’s AC/DC. Scott AC/DC was at its core blues rock. I consider it blasphemy to consider any hair metal band with the exception of Guns N’ Roses. If you can call them that which I don’t, a blues rock band. hair metal has zero connection to AC/DC or Guns N’ Roses for that matter in my opinion

[@HairMetalGuru419]

Hey, that's fine to have that opinion, but it's a fact that MOST hair metal bands were definitely fans of and certainly influenced by AC/DC. That doesn't mean they're in AC/DC's league or that they sound like AC/DC, it's just true.

[@rebetisrebetis4416]

Guns are hair, and just about every hair band was influenced by AC/DC.
