That’s a shame. Drugs’re bad, m’kay?
How’s his liver?

I think this is their first video.
Whole Lotta Rosie is one of my favorites. Hard to believe it came out 40 years ago. Damn, I’m old.
Angus in his school outfit drew the attention, Malcolm gave them that relentless driving force.
I remember refusing to listen to the “Back in Black” Album in
My Senior Year of High School…Because You can’t switch
singers in a Band !!!!!!!!
Then I heard “Honey,what you do for money?” on a Buddy’s 8
Track player…and the rest they say..is history…R.I.P.

@bcattin ~ well, you can switch singers if one drinks himself to death
@refuse
Whole lotta’ Rosie has at least one version where Bon Scott is way up in the mic, drawing you into the story, about her being “not exactly small”. Do you know the one I mean?
Damn, I loved those guys. Used to do long runs listening to them on a Walkman cassette player when I was in the Army.
You young folks can Google ‘Walkman’ and ‘cassette’.
When Diamond David Lee Roth goes I will be put on suicide watch.
Meanwhile, Chuck Yeager continues to bury all subsequent generations after his.

*Knocks wood*
What a shame. Saw them in concert back when bon scott was lead singer. Front row right next to the band. Rock and roll helluva night
AC/DC never my cup of tea. Gimmicky stuff without substance. Chewing gum for the ears.
Enjoy hell. You’ve earned it.
Rip. Great artist and don’t care what drugs he took. They’re a great band and delivered great music which is hard to find these days.
once a critic panned their albums & said, “AC/DC have 13 albums & they all sound alike” … to which Angus Young said, “that’s a bloody fookin’ lie! … we have 14 albums!”
… gotta luv it
(btw … ‘Rock or Bust’ stands right up w/ the best of them)
I had the opportunity to be introduced to the music of this unique band in, um, 1979 because it was played incessantly by the yutes under my tutelage in a group home in North Dakota. Good Lord, I hated that music, it was demented then and it’s demented now. That this kind looking gentleman died of dementia is no wonder, that shit was hatched in hell, and it is a shame that they don’t cremate all this music with him. That it lives on to be played again and again is a curse rather than a tribute.
Now he knows who made who and I hope he ended up with his Maker. RIP
Rumor has it, he was a Problem Child.
If I had a quarter for every good time I’ve had since 1975 where Malcom was part of the soundtrack…
Well, a lotta quarters. A whole lot.
Thanks Malcom. Rythym guitar is a thankless instrument, but without you, sir, there is no AC/DC.
And for those of you scratching your heads, I wish that you’ll have your own “Back in Black” before you die.
