@geraldtanderson90445 ай бұрын
@@arielcardozo6907It seems you have fans who are strictly Bon Scott, those who are strictly Brian Johnson and those who fall somewhere in between. It's a hot button debate for AC/DC fans. I'm a Bon Scott fan. Six powerhouse rock albums in just five years with Bon Scott. He cemented the sound of AC/DC for a lot of fans. Original lead singers of a popular band can never really be replicated. Kind of like Van Halen. As great of a rock singer as Brian Johnson is, I always felt his voice was kind of strained to replicate the original sound of AC/DC with Bon Scott. The "Back in Black" album is undeniable and set a new path for more great rock, by a great rock band. But for some of us purists, it'll always be Bon Scott.

Phil Rudd is possibly the most underrated drummer. His craft is essential for AC/DC to be AC/DC. Also; AC/DC is so clean it isn't funny. But; in the 80's with everyone having high power car stereos in clapped out Camaros, etc with shitty 6x9s...AC/DC was blown out over distortion 'crap' that we all fell in love with. Fast forward to today - loud as hell and clean as whistle is how it is meant to be.

I saw them in 1979 in San Antonio 5 months before Bon Died. A friend called me about two hours before the show, said he had a ticket for me but the seats sucked. When we got in the arena I found out we were sitting first row center section. As in this video the barricade was very close to the stage. Bon walked out with a cowboy hat on and had a big grin on his face. Angus had blood on his knees from sliding across the stage. Out of all the bands of that era I saw that show sticks with me the most. Set list for that tour. "Live Wire" "Shot Down in Flames" "Walk All Over You" "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" "Sin City" "Problem Child" "Bad Boy Boogie" "The Jack" "Highway to Hell" "High Voltage" "Whole Lotta Rosie" "Rocker" Encore "If You Want Blood You've Got It" "Let There Be Rock"

They were the opening act at the Monsters of Rock Day on the Green in Oakland back in 1978. Opened for Van Halen, Foreigner, Pat Travers, and the headliner Aerosmith. How about waking up to AC/DC- they blew everyone else away. Aerosmith, sad to say, was outclassed and outplayed by all the other bands, but AC/DC, Van Halen, and Pat Travers played like they were hungry and ready to take over the world.

The combination of Angus and Bon is unmatched, so striking and captivating. Bon with those animated expressions on his face, looking right into the camera, the charisma, you can almost read his mind, he really knew how to connect with the audience. Then you have Angus strutting around frenetically without missing a note or beat, seemingly deranged or possessed by the music. Then add the rock solid foundation holding it all down- Malcolm, such a great rhythm player with great tone. The calm, steady foil to Angus and the tight team of Cliff WIlliams on bass and Phil Rudd on drums, pounding it out so solidly. So raw, no in ear monitors or fish tanks around the drums, old school all the way, how I wish more bands would play today. This is pure gold!!!🤘

High Voltage, T.N.T., Touch too much, Dirty Deeds, Riff Raff, Sin City, Bad Boy Boogie .... never has a band suited their song titles and lyrics better than Bon, Angus, Mal, Phil and Cliff. This is 100% PURE energy that just goes straight into every fibre of your body to fully absorb you in Rock'n'roll! Every one of Mal's riffs, no, every single chord played reall is just exploding in your face. Listening to this and watching the guys perform in their prime is quite literally a phyiscal experience more than anything. There absolutely cannot be any debate that AC/DC 1974-1980 was and still is the best rock band in the world. I adore the Stones, love The Who, admire Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple or Black Sabbath, love Status Quo, Van Halen, Metallica, Maiden, Priest and whathaveyou all the same... I dig Britpop (which IMHO was mainly rock, too, just with a couple of more pop-like or danceable underlying beats, admire the rawness of Punk and the sophistication and athmosphere of NewWave, Indie and Alternative. Hell, I even dig quite a bit of Rap, HipHop and Electronic stuff to go on - but the world has yet to show me a band that carries more energy and involvement in both their songs and their performances than the mighty 1970s Accadacca!

They sometimes played hard rock, but they never were a hardrock band. Loud, brash rock'n'roll is neither the majority nor the center of their work. There's far too much other styles and influences in their catalogue, IMHO: You have pop, funk, electronic, operatic and symphonic stuff, folk, ballads ... you name it... And towards rhe end of their career (I consider them finished since Freddie passed away) I am sorry for having to say that I could really barely stand them anymore (far too much pathos AND no more innovation).

They were standing in line and was listening to the band playing and they were kicking ass and he was like man who the hell is that. They literally got out of the line went to sit down and it was AC/DC opening up and they were kicking so much ass that people were literally leaving the lines going back to their seats to watch the band. And he said, during one of the songs that Bon Scott put Angus on his shoulders, and started walking through the crowd, while Angus was still playing. After that, they were huge fans, and they turned me onto him. I was probably 11 years old. And I’ve seen them quite a few times.

Never been an AC/DC fan, but I absolutely love Bon Scott-era AC/DC. Can listen to High Voltage/LTBR/Powerage on repeat all day.

@mwsc0410 ай бұрын
@@ACDZ123 Yes I forgot to add that! In the US that came out only after BIB, so in my mind it's still outside the 70's timeline. That actually turned me on to the pre-BIB releases and been a fan ever since. Got both Aussie and US releases too, because you just have to if you're a fan!

Watching this in May 2024. Absolutely stunning performance from Angus Young. The Legend is born. Wow. AC/DC is killing it and the audience, with a just a few exceptions, doesn't have a clue to what they are witnessing. In less than 2 years, Back in Black will be released and the world of hard rock is changed.

Good up until 1980 and that’s it loads better bands than them and I was a AC/DC fanatic in the early 80s but fucked them off after Fly on the Wall.
@kimberlyharshfield86299 ай бұрын
They put on one helluva show back then, I saw them several times with Bon, even got to meet and hang with the band. 😜. I cried when Bon Scott died, sadly Malcom is gone now too...😢 Great band, great show, I miss them AND the good old days! ❤ There will never be another AC/DC!!

Bon was the greatest frontman the world has ever seen . I saw them in 79 - highway to hell tour just before we lost him . Life changing for a 13 year old to see him - and then all - in their finest hour . Dc died when Bon died

AC/DC...there simply is no equal! While I'm tired of the Beatles, Zepp, Skynrd,etc., this band still makes me air guitar while doin Elvis-like hip gyrations and Garth-like head-bangin while ramblin down the road!

Perfect performance. One of the best on Midnight special. Part of the AC/DC magic was two slightly overdriven guitars playing the same part. A distinctive tone I have not heard from another band.
