THE ENERGY!!! First Time Reaction to AC/DC - "Thunderstruck" 

Sorry for the blur yall! Again, YT wouldnt let me post unless I blurred the video sadly :( unblurred will be on patreon! Thanks for understanding!

i was a driver for the Black Ice tour around Australia they did a number of years ago, when we where in Brisbane they did thunderstruck, and to end out the song a literal storm rolled over and produced lightening and thunder at the end of the song, was something absolutly magical to see, good to see you found some awesome Aussie rock gods!!

Angus Young's sister thought he looked like a schoolboy playing guitar on stage. So, being a seamstress, she sewed the schoolboy uniform, and it's been his signature look ever since. The textile industry informed AC/DC's formation. Rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young (Angus' brother), was a sewing machine repairman in a textile factory, and he noticed the AC/DC label on the sewing machines and thought it would be a good band name, as it conveyed the sense of energy that the band exudes.

These guys are in their 50s and 60s at the time of this concert. The energy they put out from beginning to end. The crowd size is near 80,000!!!! AC/DC has done this all over the world. This show and the one in Munich Germany are my two favorite AC/DC live concerts. They can be found on RU-vid if you want to take a real dive into AC/DC. It is worth the few hours to get involved. Thanks for sharing!

We called the crowds like this Thumping ... Welcome to ACDC you are going to love it

AC/DC filmed "Live at River Plate" in 2009 for DVD and CD in Argentina... but they were not the only band to film and release live concerts in Argentina... Megadeth filmed their 2005 DVD "That one night: Live in Buenos Aires"... Dream Theater filmed "Live at Luna Park" in 2012. Nightwish also filmed "Decades: live in Buenos Aires" in Argentina.

AC/DC was the best concert by far I've ever been to How about those 200 thousands plus backup singers LOL now that's a concert

This is just the tip of the old iceberg ! You got to roll it backyards... Since you start here, take baby steps backwards for 25 years or so. Then leap forward . My history goes back to 74. You would having been sitting at the table for geeks and freaks in high school at lunch for listening to this but, history will show we had it right...

They are on tour now Brian Johnson is 76yrs old and Angus Young is 69 or 70 yrs old

Check out "A Whole Lotta Rosie," from this show. The crowd is crazy and Angus (lead guitar) really shows his skills. This show is from 2009. Most of the band was in their mid 50s but Brian Johnson was in his early to mid 60s.

Oooh, the AC/DC rabbit hole... so many songs! AC/DC... delivering Rock'n'Roll energy for 50 years now! Next, go for "it's a long way to the top (if you wanna Rock'nRoll)", to get a vibe of the Bon Scott era. ^^

I’m proud to be an Aussie, a phenomenal rock band, keep listening, two different lead singers, the original guy is something to listen to too! Enjoy

we knew hot to party back in the day good times best years of my life

Argentinians have often been called the best rock fans in the world and it's easy to see why. Every rock concert I've seen from Argentina is this packed and crazy.

If you like the ACDC rhythm and love River Plate, you need to check out "The Jack", live from river plate in the same concert. The guitar will steal your soul...

Angus plays a Gibson SG, primarily because it's one of the smallest and lightest guitars that still had a heavy sound (the Les Paul, which the SG was intended to replace, was a good bit heavier). Angus is a tiny guy, and as he's said himself, he needed something he could carry and play all night, and when he started out, there just weren't many options that fit his needs, and the SG was the best of them. And while the guitar industry grew and developed a ton in the 80s and 90s and there are plenty of other options now, the SG is so closely associated with Angus that no one can imagine him playing anything else. Angus and SGs are forever linked.

Couldn't agree more on your opinion about phones at concerts! 👍🏻 They should not be allowed. It's how you said, you miss out on the whole experience! And most of the time, no one will ever watch the recording. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Have a good one! ✌🏻

For those about to rock live in River plate is EPIC

There is NO way you have not heard "You Shook Me All Night Long" by this band. Literally one of the biggest rock songs of all time.

If you think this crowd is large, it is but a small fraction the size of Metallica in Moscow ...1.6 MILLION people! Probably at least 10 times this size. I've never heard of any concert even close to that and there is footage. They had to use the military with helicopters for crowd control.

Oh John Farnham who is unfortunately battling Cancer is an AMAZING artist but not know that much in the U.S & U.K. He does a couple of amazing songs live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra called Youre The Voice, Help and Preasure Down. You are doing yourself a disservice not looking at those 3 performances. His voice is incredible and can reach ranges that are unbelievable.

Everyone smiles when ACDC comes on

Greatest rock band in the world on tour now lead singer Brian 76yrs and Angus 69yrs old

Just seeing you younins react to music we listen to is priceless to me.

I don’t know how Brian Johnson still sings ,his voice is very LOW and deep in conversation

Really appreciate your approach. So many reaction creators interrupt every few seconds and it's really annoying. You are very reasonable and only stop when it's an appropriate moment. You put your commentary at the end and that is perfect! Thanks

Yes, on average the crowd is anywhere from 150,000 --- 250.000 people.

hello stacey 😁 don't worry about the blurr the french army is here 😁

Every South American knows how wild the Argentinian crowds are it's really well known around the continent.

checkout early ac/dc drummer he was great for me. angus of course a little beast

You have Beautiful Content!.

Yeah, well...I know you're hitting on me but I'm spoken for. I can always sneak out of my window while my parents are asleep though. Awesome reactions.

lol bon scot had a badass voice too. its just their thing

I recently discovered your channel I am a huge Pink Floyd fan , and I like the fact that you will listen to an entire side of music. No one does that any more. Here are a couple suggestions for you. Tarkus. By Emerson lake and Palmer. Suppers ready by Genesis. Close to the edge by YES. I don’t know what you know about Zappa. So here is one called the Ocean is the ultimate solution. I’m sure if you research you can find the people who are playing on it and since I realize how much you love guitar solos Zappa does one of his greatest on this piece. Here’s the thing, I am blind and my sister Is typing this for me She will relay comments back to me. Hope you have time to listen to some of these suggestions and enjoy them. If not on your channel at least on your own private time and let me know what you think of these. Ps. I have plenty more suggestions if you’re interested. Jim Smith

"Whole lotta Rosie" next please!!!

I've made a request once before. I would love to see you react to Unleash The Archers. I would suggest either Awakening or Northwest Passage. I think you will be blown away. Hey comments, let's spam Unleash The Archers. Lol.

You need to check out some of their other songs from the RIVER PLATE concert. There was so much jumping with the entire concert of people that it set off the seismic sensors at the station that records seismic activity in South America.

Watching your reaction currently. You are great! Ok, I came across an acapella (bad spelling!) called “Home Free”. Holy crap! INCREDIBLE! Pick any of their songs and go for it. You will be blown away! Promise. New subscriber here!

Simply LOVE that you're heading in to all these "old farts". As you might have discovered, Pink Floyd is a band that have built their own Universe. AC/DC is pretty much the same, but in a different genre. I really dig this one (Bon Scott singing). It is... raw energy at its best! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-qkY2yj4_A.html

Acdc is awesome

But the money is with the geeks and the nerds... good luck !

day 9 of recomending MASTODON or GOJIRA. theyre highly melodical bands even gojira tends to be heavier i still think you would love them. i would go for Another World by Gojira and Teardrinker from Mastodon. thx for the content!

Sei proprio bellissima e reagisci con il cuore ❤️ come me'

I'd like to report that I saw them at Wembley 3 weeks ago with 80,000 others and Brian (76) screamed for 2 hours with a smile on his face the whole time and Angus(69) played and danced around the stage like a kid with huge hair! Best time of our lives!

That was seventy thousand+ fans. They sold the stadium out three nights in a row for over two hundred thousand tickets. The entire river plate concert is probably one of the most well known AC/DC concerts of all time primarily because of how insane the crowd was. The audiences in Argentina are crazy good. Pls, TNT or Hell's bells next.

My Identical twin brother (11-17-2023 R.I.P. bro)and myself had the opportunity to see AC/DC on 4 different concert tours and They Always put on a Great Show!!

More AC/DC from River Plate Please!!!! Not too shabby for a bunch of old dudes!!!!! AC/DC played 3 straight nights at River Plate in Dec 2009 to a total of 220,000+ ppl so says their official web site so that’s 73,000+ a night!!!!! Brian Johnson the lead singer was 63, Angus Young the lead guitarist was 54 and the rest of the boys were in their 50’s!!! Legendary is all I can say. These Argentina fans are the best on the planet and they appreciate good hard driving rock and roll. Just look at all the different ages in the crowd. It transcends generations. Unbelievable!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍🥳🥳😎😎🍸

When someone asked AC/DC about making ten albums that all sounded the same, angrily replied what do you know, we made eleven albums that sounded the same. 😊

With AC/DC, there’s 2 main singers. Originally, Bon Scott was the frontman. Highway to Hell, It’s a Long Way to the Top, Dirty Deeds, TNT are some of the songs with Bon Scott. In 1980 Brian Johnson took over as the singer following Scott’s untimely death. Hell’s Bells, Shook Me all Night, Thunderstruck, Back In Black are some songs with Johnson.

Thunderstruck is a great song to start with to learn about Ac/DC's catalog, but it's a very big catalog, plenty of well know favorites.

Down the AC/DC rabbit hole I see? So many to choose but please enjoy 'For those about to rock' from the same concert. The best way to finish a concert.

BEST CROWD EVER! Argentina knows how to bring it 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥 Brian Johnson = vocals Angus Young = guitar WELCOME TO AC/DC 😈😈

No need to apologize. You did nothing wrong. What RU-vid is doing to you isn't fair. I've many reactors do this video & it was crystal clear. It seems as though RU-vid picks & chooses who to discriminate against. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that, nevertheless, awesome reaction to an awesome song! Some more AC/DC songs: Back In Black, TNT, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Whole Lotta Rosie, You Shook Me All Night Long

Hello Stacey, my name is Claudio, I'm from Argentina, I was at that concert, it was something incredible, unique. Greetings, have a great weekend.

Back in Black AC⚡DC

I finally saw ACDC about 12 yrs ago after not seeing them when I could for decades. Funnest concert ever!!! It's amazing how Angus is effectively the 'front man' (not taking anything away from Brian), without ever saying a word. His guitar is his voice. But he has so much charisma on stage, and is such a great performer/entertainer. The audience ranged in age from 7 to 70....what a blast!

The lead singer Brian Johnson is from my hometown in the North East of the UK, such a unique voice and super talented. What a crowd that is by the way 🙌🙌

I'm from Spain and I lived for 7 years in Argentina, close to River stadium, awesome!! And I was there rocking with AC/DC!!

AcaDaca!!! I was wondering when you were going to find them! These Aussies really blew up Rock & Roll and cemented themselves in history. They really rocked out hard and sold out concerts everywhere. Try to find an older live of this song, you'll see even more excitement and possibly better bass, like the drums and bass will just pound through your entire fabric/being. Thunderstruck is forever an anthem.

This is one of the best concerts I’ve seen. I wasn’t there but watch it in a 60” HD TV with headphones - and enjoy the sheer energy that AC/DC brings.

AC/DC were formed in 1973 in Australia by Scottish immigrant brothers Angus Young (lead guitar) and (the late) Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar)... they have not changed their sound much from their first records in the 70's w/ basic hard rock - guitar/ bass/ drums and vocals w/ no keyboards or beats... Some of their biggest hits include - 'You shook me all night long'... 'Back in black' ... 'Highway to hell' ... 'For those about to rock' ... 'Shot down in flames' ... 'Whole lotta Rosie'... 'Moneytalks'... 'Rock n roll train' ... 🔥🤘 Angus Young became the band's mascot as the 'schoolboy' because he was so short and looked the part - his sister Margaret suggested he wear a schoolboy uniform and stitched up his first suits... She also suggested the name 'AC/DC' for her brothers' band from the label of her sowing machine... Their older brother George Young (and former bandmate Harry Vanda) produced the early AC/DC records... AC/DC were a local rock band in Sydney in 1974 when they were introduced to another Scottish immigrant named Bon Scott, who had been singing since the late 60's... He first played drums for AC/DC (He was their driver before that!) ... But when their singer quit one night before a gig in '74, he offered to sing and Angus and Malcolm loved his raspy, bluesy vocals. Bon Scott recorded the first 2 AC/DC albums in 1975 in Australia - 'High voltage' and 'T.N.T.' ... Phil Rudd (drums) and Mark Evans (bass) joined AC/DC that year and the band was signed internationally in 1976 - they released an international version of a debut album 'High voltage' (compiled w/ songs from their first 2 Australian records) It wasn't until AC/DC's 4th album 'Let there be rock' in 1977 when the band finally got to tour N. America (Their 3rd album 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' was not released in the US until 1981) w/ Cliff Williams (bass) joining ... 5th album 'Powerage' sold 250K copies in the US without any radio airplay. In 1979, AC/DC finally had a hit record - 'Highway to Hell' ... it sold gold in the US (half million copies) and the band was poised to make a big break in the 80's. However, tragedy struck AC/DC in early 1980... their singer Bon Scott was found dead in a friend's car in London after he had passed out from a night of heavy drinking... A devastated AC/DC were urged to carry on by Bon Scott's grieving parents in Australia. A quick search for a new singer led to UK native Brian Johnson, who grew up on 50's American rock n' roll like Bon Scott did... Brian Johnson had spent the 70's recording and touring w/ his band Geordie before they split up in 1976. His raspy, screeching vocals were heavily influenced by the iconic singer Little Richard. AC/DC dedicated their 1980 album 'Back in black' to the late Bon Scott... w/ Brian Johnson on vocals. The album became a phenomenal success, selling over 10 million copies in the US alone by 1981 (25 million in the US to date - top 5 best selling album of all time) Subsequent AC/DC albums ('For those about to rock - We salute you' in 1981... 'Flick of the switch' in 1983... 'Fly on the wall' in 1985) failed to sell as many copies... AC/DC played Rock in Rio festival in South America in 1985 and have been huge there ever since. A major comeback record for AC/DC came in 1990 when the single 'Thunderstruck' became a huge hit from the album "The Razor's Edge"... which sold 5x platinum in the US. AC/DC carried on releasing platinum albums like 'Ballbreaker' (1995)... 'Stiff upper lip' (2000) and 'Black ice' (2008) and were selling out arenas and stadiums worldwide. In 2013, AC/DC announced that founding member Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar/ songwriter) was retiring after he was diagnosed w/ dementia; Sadly, he passed away in 2017... He was replaced by their nephew Stevie Young (rhythm guitar) in 2014 for the album 'Rock or bust'. In 2016, singer Brian Johnson had to be replaced on tour because of his hearing issues... he returned in 2018 to record their 2020 album 'Power up'... Longtime bassist Cliff Williams announced that he was retiring in 2016 and played his last AC/DC show in 2023. Longtime drummer Phil Rudd, who had been fired once in 1983 (he rejoined AC/DC in 1995) was arrested in 2014 w/ serious charges in New Zealand. As a result of his convictions, he was replaced on tour in 2015/ '16 but played on their 'Power up' album. In 2024, AC/DC finally announced a European stadium tour w/ Matt Laug (drums) and Chris Chaney (bass)

Had the HONOUR of working this tour .. that"s 200,000 ppl , 60,000 on the floor 3 nights here ALL CRAZY .... the rest of the tour was INSANE,, all the crowds were this size...

My Nephew is a Dirt Track Racer, and his Ritual before the Races is listening to "Thunderstruck" on Repeat to get his Energy up! "Back in Black" is another Banger by AC/DC. GREAT Reaction!

AC/DC has been around for 50 years and they are currently back on tour. There have been a few line up changes over the years, but they always bring it. I saw them several times in the 80s. Always a great show. Back in black is by far my favorite album.

Bon Scott was the original and very unique singer. They were lucky to find such an amazing replacement after Bon's tragic early death. Rock On Stacey!!

You don’t go see AC/DC to see a concert, you go see AC/DC to be in the biggest party of your life.

Ok, I'm officially old. When I was young adult this was the biggest rock group on the planet. Everyone and their grandmother knew AC/DC. Now there is a grown woman saying AC/DC is a new band for her. I guess this is how my parents generation felt when they said to me: "How is it possible you've never heard a song from the Beatles?"

AC/DC was my 1st concert back in ‘81. The thing I love the most is everyone loves AC/DC. In ‘90 I had a “lady of the night” on my left and lawyer in 3 piece suit on my right. AC/DC is the rare band to survive a change at singer. The original singer Bon Scott died by misadventure in 1980. If you react to his songs please do his version. Whole Lotta Rosie live in Paris 1979 shows how much energy they have.

With a voice like ELMO soaked in cigarette ash and whiskey, Brian Johnson from the band Geordie in NewCastle England, Joined ACDC in 1980, after the loss of their 2nd singer, BON SCOTT (born in Scotland like the two guitarists and bassist, they all moved to Australia as kids). They were led by Dave Evans in 1973, but never got out of the bars and clubs in Australia. Realizing that this was the 20 year anniversary of Thunderstruck, this guys are unstoppable. And this wasn't the big hit on the album (MONEY TALKS was their first #1 hit in 1990.)

Please react to Argentine rock, you will like it, you can start with: "Rata Blanca - La leyenda del hada y el mago". Very good video, keep up the reactions!

Stacey....you should check out a cover of this song by "2 Cellos." Amazing work...almost outshines the original.

You should check out 2Callo's interpretation of this song now that you've heard the original, check them out too 2CELLOS - Thunderstruck [OFFICIAL VIDEO] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uT3SBzmDxGk.html

Let there be rock Live at the Apollo is outstanding- 1978!!! they have a HUGE library of fun songs

AC/DC was the first rock band I've ever listened in my life. It gave me so much fun in high school. Now I'm a Pink Floyd fan.

Nice reaction, As much as you love the crowd and their participation. You should give Robbie Williams "Angels" live at Knebworth a reaction. You will love the 350,000 people in the crowd singing. Even if you know the song you should react to the live version. You will LOVE it,

You should/please listen to julia from Pavlov’s Dog or any other song from their album Pampered menial. Thx. 🙏

I like watching your cat dog up your couch without your knowledge, just like my 2.

Highway to hell at same concert will blow your mind. Promise..

If you want a concert watch Metallica Enter Sandman 1997 Moscow

I was there... River Plate Stadium 2009 Buenos Aires 🤟Argentina has the best crowd in the world! it was a fucking amazing experience!!

Quite possibly the greatest rock band of all time. Nobody has done as much, for as long, at as high a level as consistently as AC/DC has. Your in for a wild ride.

Great video you should check out Scorpions send me an angel or winds of change.

I highly recommend stryper: calling on you.

ACDC-LED ZEPPELIN-PINK FLOYD THE ROCK TRIANGLE .

AC/DC is one of the most succesful rock bands of all time. Their album 'Back In Black' alone has sold over 50 million copies (second most sold album of all time just behind MJ's Thriller). That one album has sold more than 98% of artists have sold during their whole career.

Nice! I've been waiting for this show up. AC/DC is the quintessential rock band. They've been cranking out hits since the 70's, and they're still touring and dropping albums. They're not fancy. Just hard blues-based rock. They're album "Back in Black" is one of the best-selling albums of all time. You've likely heard a few AC/DC songs. They get used in a lot of movie soundtracks. They even performed the whole soundtrack for a movie called "Maximum Overdrive". I'm sure there are plenty of suggestions in the comments to check out the biggest of the big hits. And you should. But I'll suggest 2 songs that I haven't seen a lot of reactions to. Since the band has had 2 incredible vocalists, one from each. "If You Want Blood" and "Have A Drink On Me". By the way, if it's not your your list yet, you should check out Boston.

Love to see a full River Plate reaction if it's possible. Along with Pink Floyd Pulse concert, Iron Maiden Toronto, and Nightwish at Wembley, one of the best overall concerts as a whole

This one is still a rocker despite the fact that my local radio stations play it to death. Seeing someone else who is hearing it for the first time is a refreshing experience.

As the saying goes,"When we listen to AC/DC, our neighbors listen to AC/DC". It has to be played a "bit" louder than most other music.

Brian Johnson is actually the third lead singer after Dave Evan’s (1973-74) and Bon Scott (1974-80). Bon Scott in an interview was once asked “Are you AC or DC?” He said “Neither Mate, I’m the lightning bolt in the middle”

You should check out Tommy Johansson’s (ex Sabaton guitarist) cover of this song.

I visited Bahia Blanca Argentina in 1993 while deployed on USS Whidbey Island 41 in support of UNITAS 34-93...

You should try 'highway to hell' that ll make your toes curl

Thunderstruck was one of the best songs to start off with when reacting to AC/DC for the first time. They basically are the band that got me into taking guitar seriously. The saying “never meet your heroes” is non-existent with this band because they’re are some of the most humble, modest down-to-earth bunch of blokes. Brian (the lead singer) is the type of guy you’d like to go out to a pub, have a few pints and recite stories.

260 000 were packed in; I ws there.❤.

If you like to see huge crowds, check out the Metallica in russia concert. Over 1 million people with helicopters flying over them to provide some cooling wind. It's something to behold. As far as AC/DC, 50 years of the same music and zero complaints and gaining new fans with every generation.

What kinda rock have you been living under lady? Never has heard the tune? Damn ❤

One of my very first rock shows, at 16 as an exchange student in Australia in '76, outdoor show in Adelaide the year Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap released in Australia (released with a different track list in '81 in the USA). Came home telling friends "you won't believe these guys." Thunderstruck works to this day, loved the Season 5 'Road so Far' intro for Supernatural that used it (available somewhere on YT).

The reason concerts today aren't like that anymore is because there was once actual talent. This was 30 years after their peak and they were still better than anything at the time

Thunderstruck, live at Donnington in the light of day, 1991, is unreal. The audience is huge
