33 years ago today we lost one of rock’s all-time greatest front-men. Thanks for the brief yet glorious catalog, Bon, and truly hope hell’s as bad a place as you envisioned. What can I say? Some people wanna watch their afterlife burn.
Let there be Threedonia’s AC/DC faves in the Comments section.
I am Bon Scott…thought I was dead,Eric!
You’re Mal Scott. Next …
On different days it’s “Girls Got Rhythm,” “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll)”, because, BAGPIPES! and “Problem Child.”
Gotta go with “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll)”.
My perennial fav from them is “You Shook Me All Night Long.” “Back in Black” is a close second. Next, would probably be, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” Which pretty much describes my life.
Reminds me of one of my favorite comedy bits of all time, Jim Breuer singing the Hokey Pokey as Bon Scott. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDKAekDXPcw
Funny bit (something I don’t often say about Breuer), but Brian Johnson is no Bon Scott, the latter of whom would have turned the Hokey Pokey into something far more lascivious.
Fair enough.
At least he made it past 27 – and he did play a helluva rock bagpipe.
I read somewhere that they really had a tough time doing “Long Way to the Top” live, and tried to avoid doing so because it was so tough to tune the bagpipes to the lead guitar.
