Losing your lead singer, especially when he had a pretty unique voice, is basically a death sentence for most bands. These guys came back with one of their best albums instead.

[@jonathanbouthillette753]

And became an even bigger band

[@jleahy9025]

yes and the replacemnt singer's first song he writes is "you shook me all night long"!!

[@Erulin68]

It was Bon Scott himself who'd told the other guys in the band he had seen this amazing singer who was screaming his head off on stage like noone else. He of course didn't realize Brian Johnson's apendix had burst on stage the night he saw him and that was why he was screaming his head off.

[@jamesragsdale8202]

The album was written. Bon died weeks before their studio booking. Bon's family was paid. Brian Johnson never wrote a hit song in his life.

[@iznone]

Bro Bon Scott was almost everything ... I am still sad after 40 years and my tears goes. I was on concert of AC/DC here in 2010, impresive was ... but bro Bon was so missing for me for full joy.

[@umpdaddy1]

Although Angus, Brian and Bon get most of the credit for their music, the true driving force behind AC/DC is Angus' older brother Malcom (RIP), the rhythm guitarist. He came up with most of their riffs and his rhythm guitar always laid a perfect background.

[@ronniefromOR]

Malcom wrote most of the songs too... absolute legend musician RIP

[@barsandbarbells2022]

The riffs are wild!

[@rockyourworld5374]

And to balance your comments, the songs would not be anything without any member. Phil is a rock solid Drummer, and Cliff is seemless in supporting the drums with Bass. They are all awesome.

[@davidkelly2355]

I like how the guitar is bigger than Malcolm

[@huchlvr]

What a loss Malcom was. His riffs were legendary. RIP sir.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

People often ask about the outfit Angus Young (Lead Guitarist) always wears..In the early days of the group,, Angus sister suggested that he should wear his school uniform while performing,, he did & has worn it ever since,, it has become his trademark.

[@joanfisher1079]

Never easy to have iconic voices in Rock N Roll replaced. Almost impossible after the passing of Bon Scott let alone come out with an entire album so masterful in tribute to Bon Scott with Brian at the helm having to fill such immense shoes to front ACDC. Hells Bells is a total send off in style to Bon. Back in Black a massive 80s masterpiece that still goes strong today as classic ACDC.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Incredible how it played out!

Bon Scott died of alcohol poisoning, along with the fact that he was falling asleep in his car in a cold February night in England. That was a tragedy for the band and all of their fans. But they came back stronger than ever with Brian Johnson on vocals, filling the part perfectly. The rest is history.

[@bayareathrasher666]

@@shawnjohnson9763 Bon > Brian. AC/DC at their peak. like a 35 year difference

[@shawnjohnson9763]

@bayareathrasher666 neither one is better than the other. They're just different, but are both iconic. They hadn't even hit their peak yet when Bon died. Could they have reached the same heights with Bon? Probably, but the fact is that they had to find a replacement. They did, and they just kept climbing. I don't hate on people for preferring Bon, he was special. But Brian is also iconic. Nobody else at the time could have stepped in and taken over for Bon without missing a step like he did. But, more to the point, the reason that their performance of this song at River Plate is so amazing has nothing to do with the vocals. It's all about Angus and the crowd.

[@GordonHeaney]

Love seeing tiny Malcom with that huge guitar! It's almost funny........but what a rhythm player, one of the best

[@highvolts6620]

Malcolm was only 5-3. A Gretsch White Falcon is a full hollow bodied guitar, that’s probably why it looks so big on him. Legend has it that he used it on the Back in Black tour. He played it so hard that it went outta whack and was deemed unplayable. Malcolm always said “Hit those strings, don’t tickle the buggers” Greatest rhythm player in Hard Rock. R.I.P. Malcolm

[@ddbrock9675]

@@highvolts6620 As i heard it, it went out for a specific repair (I can't recall what) and he didn't like the results. It showed up in a KZbin video a couple of years ago on a vintage guitar shop's channel. Can't remember which one. I believe it was used to record Back In Black as well.

[@derekbatchelor4063]

What really got me in this reaction video: "It's crazy how different all these rock bands sound". This may be one of the most impactful statements you said. That said, it really applies to ALL music that was produced before computer editing was possible. Pre-90s for the most part. The grim reality today is music is built using a 'formula'. This formula is designed to 'trick' the listener into liking the music. It's tried and true. Due to this, a LOT of music today sounds remarkably the same. A long time ago, bands and musicians made the music they wanted, without following any specific formula. Each band (and artist) had their own style, which was different from each other. While a band would have similar sounding songs, no band would ever sound the same. On top of that, the mass usage of post-production vocal editing also makes things sound similar today. Even worse is that when real instruments are played in a song, they are also edited to ensure that everything is completely 'perfect'. Producers can really change how things sound. For example, they can raise notes up full octaves, they can correct vibrato with a single click. Now, perfect vibrato is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve, and to be honest, when they do this, they (IMHO) completely destroy the artist's talents. The problem with all this is that no human is perfect. All singers have vocal flaws. All musicians cannot play perfectly in time. This causes the music to sound 'fake' if you will. Artists are simply able to perform a song one time in the studio and let the technical people sort out the rest. All of the musicians pre-computer editing HAD to perform their music with no real editing. Months would be spent in the studio recording things to try to get things right. Even so, the human flaws would still be in the final product. This makes the music sound much more natural and unique. Artists could easily do tours and do 100% of their music live (as AC/DC has ALWAYS done), where musicians today simply cannot. Even IF they are singing, there is almost always a back track propping up their vocals, leading once again to the 'fake' sounding music. In-fact, many of the 'stadium' bands actually sound BETTER live. The crowds really seem to bring the best out in them. AC/DC may be the best live band of all time. It's a shame you didn't do a reaction to the live version. All of that simply comes from the one statement 'It's crazy how different all these rock bands sound'. You couldn't be more correct with this statement. It's spot-on.

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Yes no one sounded the same.

[@grizzX17]

The "rap" he's referring to is the charges someone might get for committing a crime. "They got me on another rap." All your convictions are listed on a "rap sheet."

[@maryannturton9830]

AC/DC BACK IN BLACK is about as classic of an album as you can get! Thinking of Aerosmith was not a bad reference,as Steven Tyler always brings the vocals,and his bandmates can certainly jam.Yes,he is spitting bars,bringing hard rock at it's finest! I met my husband at roller skating when I was 14 years old.Although we did skate to some disco,we were more the rocker types.When this song came on at the rink,let's just say we skated at breakneck speed...😉😜🔥👊

I distinctly remember the first time listening to "Back in Black" and a teenager. It was after a long wait for AC/DC fans to see if the new lead singer was going to be able to pull it off? "Back in Black" was the first song on the album and that intro that led into Brian Johnsons first words of the song immediately hooked us. It was like, "Hell Yeah, their back".

So, every AC/DC fan was bereft when original singer Bon Scott died. He was legendary. Irreplaceable. But when they got Brian Johnson in to replace him, all the AC/DC fans were like ‘ummm…ok….this guy is actually perfect for the band.’ He sounded like this 40 years ago and he still sounds the same today. Utter legend.

[@BlokeOnA-Harley]

1973 they started in Sydney , Named by their sister after a vacuum cleaner. After Bons death they created a monster album , which i i think to this day was only beaten by Michael Jackson - Thriller. They haven't changed there style. That's why they still sell out stadiums. Many bands look up to AC/DC as the the benchmark. Look at Shoot to Thrill.

[@Daetalus67]

The lyric you heard was, "'Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin' the flack Nobody's gonna get me on another rap", meaning he wont get caught for another crime. One informal definition of rap is :a criminal charge. For instance, "what are you in prison for? I caught a murder rap..." So he is not referring to rap in the musical way. Also, yes you have likely heard this song in a movie as it has been in a number of them, probably most notably the first "Iron Man" movie and "Spider Man: Far From Home".
