A true fan knows that ALL of their albums blow away what passes for rock these days, and both Bon and Brian were great. Nothing but respect for them. Miss you Malcolm.
I love AC/DC, but they didn't interview well back then. I always felt Brian looked genuinely uncomfortable when asked questions and Angus always looked like he'd rather be doing something else. They've always seemed unaware or unimpressed with just how big they were. It's probably why they've survived.
Old comment i know but Brian just looks like he's watching what he says cause he knows media likes to run with stuff, and he's being cautious about what is ahead until the brothers confirm it themselves. Angus just doesn't much care for all the attention unless the interviewer is a friend or something
It must have been awkward during this 1985 interview for Brian to be shown the "Let it be Rock" video with Bon leading the band, with the interviewer saying that's her favorite AC/DC song.
Brain Johnson speaking voice is so different from his singing voice I mean if you hear this guy talk at first you won't think that he's the lead singer and it's impressive.
Angus looks less than impressed by questions about Flick of the Switch. Which goes along with AC/DC never playing songs from Flick once its tour was over. Too bad, it's a great album.
It is a great album , B.j.was sayin the lads love it though, think they played ' nervous shakedown ' for a few gigs black ice tour 09 , not for the one I saw at Wembley though.
It doesn't compare to their two previous albums with Brian. It's a noticeable drop in quality. Plus the band replaced Phil Rudd during that time, which was a mistake on their part.
@@ThaiThom You could raise that same criticism about every album of theirs released since For Those About to Rock. They play songs from some of those albums, don't they? Phil was replaced after Flick was recorded.
@@WhatHaveIMade Yes, I agree about that same criticism since For Those About to Rock. Still, it's not Phil Rudd's fault that Flick of the Switch isn't as good as what came before. Flick is not a terrible album. Phil sounds great, it's just the songwriting is not as good IMHO. As Rudd said, "I'm just the drummer." And he's right, though he is key to their sound. They shouldn't have replaced him. That decision created a kind of unwanted instability that lasted for decades. Anyway, I'm glad he's back in the band again and their new album, Power Up, is - from start to finish - their strongest album in decades (sounds like AC/DC to me!)
He's like my grandma, overhanging eyelids, can impair your eyesight sometimes or cause discomfort, so some doctors will recommend you get the excess skin surgically removed. It's not so bad when you're young, but as you get older, naturally your skin hangs lower so it's best to just get it removed. Sometime between razors edge and ballbreaker is when Brian must have done it, in his mid to late 40s Old comment I know, but I used to wonder too
They probably knew people weren't going to buy a live album with songs from the three "F" albums, (For those.,Flick of.., & Fly off...) When there eventually was a live album in 1992 there was only ONE song from this period; "for those about to rock"
I don’t think there is one curse word on any of their albums. That’s not counting “Hell” as they are using it as a noun and not a derogatory adjective. If I am wrong please correct me. I’m referring to the Brian Johnson years. I haven’t listened to all of Bon Scott’s songs.
Cool interview during an interesting era of their career. Fly on the Wall was pretty terrible as an album though. They started going down hill with Flick of the Switch, although I enjoyed that record.
Angus McKinnon Young (Glasgow, Escocia, Reino Unido, 31 de marzo de 1955) es un músico de origen escocés, y de nacionalidad australiana, conocido por ser uno de los miembros fundadores y el principal guitarrista del grupo AC/DC, aparte de ser el único miembro que ha permanecido en la banda desde su inicio. Fue introducido en el Salón de la fama del Rock and Roll junto a los miembros actuales de la banda en el 2003. Es conocido por sus salvajes y enérgicos movimientos en el escenario, y su peculiar uniforme de colegial. Además, en el año 2014 se situó entre los mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos, concedido por la revista Rolling Stone, y en el puesto 24 en una nueva edición de 2011 de los 100 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos, también por la revista Rolling Stone, y en el puesto número 20 de la lista "los 100 mejores guitarristas", de la revista Total Guitar. 68 AÑOS.
Ok. You can tell this girl/woman wanted to jump their bones. I think angus was married to his knock out tall wife at this time. Not sure if Brian was married at this time. If not…need i say more. Lol.
Brian Francis Johnson De Luca (Dunston, 5 de octubre de 1947) es un cantante y compositor británico. Es conocido por ser el tercer vocalista de la banda británica-australiana de hard rock AC/DC. Fue elegido para reemplazar a Bon Scott tras su muerte en 1980. Su primer álbum como vocalista de AC/DC fue Back In Black. Está situado en el puesto número 39 en la lista de los 100 mejores vocalistas de metal de todos los tiempos de la revista Hit Parader. En 2016, tras diagnosticársele problemas auditivos, se vio obligado a abandonar su carrera como vocalista hasta 2020, siendo sustituido en ese tiempo por Axl Rose como vocalista de AC/DC para la gira Rock or Bust. 76 AÑOS.
So, they produced flick of the switch and fly on the wall on their own.. Though, fly on the wall is one of my favorites, the sound is muffled and brian's voice sounds miles away from the mic. I hated blow up your video and honestly the razor's edge is brian's best. I feel back in black was written as well as most of the songs on the album b4 Brian came in. So, I really don't think back in black as being Brian's best work with the band since bon was a huge part of the album. Without who made who, ac/dc's in the 80's was kinda weak.
+charlton mcmillen Respectfully, Bon didn't do much at all on Back In Black. He had no part in writing songs like You Shook Me, Back In Black, Shoot to Thrill, and Hells Bells. Bon had input instrumentally (on drums) with tracks like Giv'n the Dog a Bone, Shake a Leg, and I think Have a Drink on Me. Lyrically as well, for those songs he pencilled down ideas, but nothing set in stone. Brian's first song he wrote was You Shook Me, and that's confirmed in a few interviews, Shoot to Thrill was the last song written (mostly by Mal), Hells Bells and Back in Black were both tributes to Bon, and as for the rest of the album it was all Brian and the Youngs. Most of this I know from interviews with the band, and an AC/DC book called Maximum Rock and Roll. Probably Bons biggest influence on the album was that his death pushed the band harder than ever before to come up with an album that'd really make a statement. I say this respectfully so sorry if I come across disrespectful at all. Hope you have a good one.
I don't know,man. The albums that followed were pretty bad. I don't really care what's been said, when I put that album on, I can still feel the bon scott vibe and I just can't believe they had no ideas or songs already there before brian came in. doesn't matter much anyway, they never could recapture the magic they had with Bon and after bib they got worse with each album until 91's razor's edge. after razor's edge people just started tuning out as they did after the lack-luster for those about to rock. I'm not much on 80's ac/dc.
+charlton mcmillen I agree... Bon Scott had alot more input into the back in black album then angus ever lets on about. After watching ever interview these fellas have done that i can find, you get more and more clues that they accidentally reveal that conflicts with other interviews they've done
