There was also a rumor that Bon had started to dabble in heroin and the band was close to letting him go. So yes, the "official" story is froze and was too drunk to get out of the car and feel asleep, but also heard he may have passed out after shooting up. Then the dude he was with took offnand left him in the car. But who knows.

It was the sheer joy and wickedness of Bon Scott (apart from his singing) that made him so easy to love

The guys in AC/DC immigrated from Scotland as kids, they met and formed the band in Australia in the 70s. This song was live through the streets of Melbourne, Australia. In the song he sings: heading down the highway, nothing to do with giving head. Bon Scott played the bagpipes before meeting the young brothers to form AC/DC. Bon Scott is buried in Western Australia.

The other men playing the bagpipes were from The Rats of Tobruk Pipe Marching Band.

AC/DC were formed in Australia in 1973..their original singer was Dave Evans who lasted a year before Bon Scott took over in 1974 until his tragic untimely death in 1980..later that year they released Back in Black with new frontman Brian Johnson who has been with the band ever since (44 years) the only other singer i believe they had was Axl Rose for a short period a couple of years ago who stood in for Brian on a tour due to an ear infection..Brian is recovered now and they have new music and a new tour planned soon..unfortunately we recently lost Malcolm Young and he has been replaced in the band by Stevie Young who is the Younger cousin..

I wish they would play that song, but they never did again for Bon Scott's memory. I am not Scottish but there is something about them AC/DC that I so love. This is unique to use the Bagpipes like that. xoxo This is in Melbourne Australia, early 70's & was watched on TV. Very early in their very long career.

Pro Tip aka ‘It’s A Long Way To The Shop If You Want A Sausage Roll’. And now you have to react to T-Rex. Marc Bolan. Any song.

Ive played in bands for over 45 years. Every word he sings is ABSOLUTELY the truth

I was lucky enough to be a teenager in Melbourne Australia in the mid 70’s and got to see them so many times with Bon. He was the ultimate frontman, oozed charisma and always had a naughty twinkle in his eye (which is why myself and my other 15yr old friends never went backstage). He was amazing and will always be their frontman to me, no hating on Brian but he is not at all charismatic. My sister has seen both Bon and Brian and said that Brian was boring, Bon was never boring! He is a legend in this country! This was filmed in Melbourne going down Swanston St towards the Shrine of Remembrance and the whole video was done for $300 in 1975/76 and nearly 50 yrs later it’s still being used!!

Yep I was watching Countdown in the 70s as a teenager. I'm a West Aussie. Fremantle. ❤😊

It was 1972 Street in Melbourne Victoria Australia. Bon was born in Scotland. His family immigrants to Australia, as we're the family of the Young brothers.

Bon is buried in Western Australia at Fremantle Cemetery. 2020 was the 40th anniversary of his burial. An event called Highway to Hell (the route between the then infamous Raffles Hotel and Fremantle) took place. Locations were set up along the route, trucks with bands on board playing ACDC tracks pulled in, performed and moved on for the next one to come in. People were dancing on the streets, it was wild! RIP Bon & Malcolm Young.

Brian Johnson never sings this song out of respect to Bon Scott

I know Big Balls they never play. I didn't realize they never sang this one too. And I've seen ACDC 5 times from the back in black album to bringing my kids decades later and then the last time when Johnson had to cancel on the tour because of his hearing. . Months later glad I held on to my tickets Axle Rose stood in for him to finish the tour. We were also since we had the original tickets aloud to go to much better seats. Axle did a great job, it is really about Angus now. I was only in 9th grade when Bon Scott died, never had a chance to see him😒

This video was filmed on February 23rd, 1976 for the Australian music television program "Countdown". It featured the band and the members of the Rats of Tobruk Pipe band on the back of a flatbed truck travelling down Swanston Street in Melbourne, Australia. David Olney was the cameraman and he had the whopping budget of $380 to get the job done.

$380 was more than three weeks wages for a factory worker. A packet of cigarettes cost 12 cents, a can of coke 8 cents, minimum chips 10 cents, you could buy a good second-hand car for $200. But there is always the joke about their "multi-dollar visual effects" on shows that look back at clips from that era. But the camera work is beyond excellent.

YEP I was 17 years old then and am a West Aussie in Bon's home town of Fremantle WA. I watched Countdown every Sunday, it was a must. ❤😊 I went over to Melbourne on a tour in '77....

1973 to 2009 is around a 35- odd year jump. The band AC/DC were as good then when they began as they are now. That is really saying something. They were a real R & R band & still are.

My hometown of Melbourne, Australia! Used to see these guys playing live at the pubs… that was an amazing time to be a teenager xxx❤

Another performance by AC/DC with Bon Scott of "Let There Be Rock" that was bad-azz was the '79 concert in Cleveland Municipal Stadium @The World Series of Rock. What a great time to be alive & kick out the jams! No bout a doubt it. ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friends++ 🤘😜🤘

AC/DC had an interesting inception in the bars in Australia in the 70's... Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) asked his younger brother Angus Young (lead guitar) to join his band in 1973; Angus thought, "Well, why not?" The name came courtesy of their sister Margaret's sowing machine which had 'AC/DC' on the label and sounded electric 🌩 They don't like to talk about their string of early members who kept them in business between 1973 to 1975 but they had a singer - Dave Evans... Angus Young had tried various onstage personas and finally settled on wearing a school uniform in shorts - he was so short that he looked like a kid long into adulthood... Their older brother George Young (who was a guitarist in the 60's band The Easybeats) and Harry Vanda (his bandmate in The Easybeats) were working for Australian music label J. Albert & Son as producers and George was impressed w/ his kid brothers' new band AC/DC... They decided to record AC/DC's first single in 1974: "Can I sit next to you girl?" The earliest footage of AC/DC (which is on YT) was performing "Can I sit next to you girl?"... on Australian TV in '74 w/ Dave Evans on vocals... Malcolm Young admitted they didn't like Dave Evans' glam style. Despite having no money, AC/DC was on a small Aussie tour in '74 when they met Bon Scott... He was their driver hired to take the band from hotel to gig and back. He was a Scottish immigrant like Angus & Malcolm Young and the brothers liked him immediately. Bon Scott was also years older than the Young brothers... He had been in a singer in a pop group The Valentines in the 60's... then, fronted a blues rock band Fraternity in the early 70's (he could also play the drums and flute) before a motorbike accident in '72 sidelined him. By '74, he was married and working odd jobs for a living... He saw AC/DC play one night and was impressed, especially by Angus Young's stage antics... When AC/DC needed a drummer, Bon volunteered to play (he wasn't that good according to Malcolm Young) Then, singer Dave Evans quit the band just before an AC/DC gig in late '74 and Bon Scott offered to sing that night... According to Angus, Bon showed up guzzling a bottle of Bourbon w/ lines of drugs before going onstage but was great on vocals that night. George Young was shocked when AC/DC turned up soon after in the studio and introduced their new singer Bon Scott, who was older... missing teeth from brawling ... and covered in tattoos - he was quite the character 😂However, Bon could sing and took AC/DC in a much more aggressive direction that Dave Evans could have... Without a drummer and bassist, AC/DC recorded their first full album 'High voltage' (George Young played bass in the studio and Tony Currenti played drums) ... It was released in early 1975. Relocating from Sydney to Melbourne on the advice of manager Michael Browning, AC/DC hired Phil Rudd (drums)... then, Mark Evans (bass) and AC/DC appeared on Australian TV again performing an American blues cover "Baby, please don't go"... Bon Scott shocked audiences appearing like a schoolgirl w/ a wig, smoking on camera... spreading his legs... and waving a rubber mallet while singing 😂 AC/DC was a hit in Australia. With a solid line-up, AC/DC recorded the album 'T.N.T.' in '75 and it went to #2 on the Australian charts... Bon Scott offered to play bagpipes on "It's a long way to the top..." to pay homage to his Scottish heritage (Bon had never played the bagpipes before but he killed it in the studio) The band filmed the music video on the streets of Melbourne in 1975. In 1976, AC/DC received offers to fly to the UK and sign an international record contract that would see AC/DC albums released outside of Australia... They had finished a 3rd album 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' and opted to sign w/ Atlantic Records in the UK (and America); the label decided to compile songs from their first 2 Aussie albums and release it as their international debut album 'High voltage'... marketing AC/DC initially as a punk rock band as they did their first UK tour (Called "Lock up your daughters tour" 😂) However, record sales were poor initially and AC/DC saw Aussie shows under-selling by '76... So, they decided to relocate to London, England in 1977 after recording a 4th album 'Let there be rock'... Released that year, it finally gave AC/DC a decently-selling record as Cliff Williams (bass) replaced Mark Evans and AC/DC would tour N. America for the first time in '77... Record sales in Europe grew in 1978 w/ the 'Powerage' album and it even sold a quarter million copies in the USA w/ zero radio airplay. In 1979, 'Highway to Hell' was the record that took AC/DC to commercial success, selling gold across Europe and N. America. Tragically, Bon Scott was found dead in a friend's car in early 1980 after he had passed out following a night of heavy drinking... The tragedy nearly ended AC/DC but Bon's parents told Angus and Malcolm Young to keep the band going. Brian Johnson (vocals) was hired in 1980 and did the 'Back in Black' album, which was dedicated to Bon Scott... That record broke AC/DC into mega-success in the 80's... By strange coincidence, Bon Scott had actually met Brian Johnson when Bon's band Fraternity toured the UK and opened for Brian Johnson's band Geordie in the early 70's... and Bon Scott had actually been impressed after seeing Brian Johnson perform one night and had apparently told Angus and Malcolm Young about him. Brian Johnson also recalled meeting Bon Scott - he recognized him years later in 1977 when AC/DC appeared on British television and he'd become a fan of AC/DC.

I grew up listening to AC/DC. My stepfather was friends with their family, and was their mums plumber in Burwood, Western Sydney. When Bonn died, I wore black to school for a week - and I was in primary school! This was filmed in Swanston Street Melbourne, for Countdown. The bagpipes are played by the Police Marching Band. My favourite album with Bonn singing is definitely "Dirty Deeds. Done Dirt Cheap". But T.N.T is also really great! Rest in Peace Bonn Scott, Malcolm Young and also George Young. May you all Rock In Peace!! 🤘🏼🖤🇭🇲

Yes, that's Swanston Street, Melbourne. A classic number.

This was filmed in my City, Melbourne Australia, the band asked a favour from a friend who worked at the ABC TV studios to get some cameras, luckily they used the expensive ones which weren't meant to be used outside..Tv Executives never found out, they quickly filmed their new song from the back of a truck as they cruised up Swanston Street with the old Green and Yellow trams rolling past and the Shrine of Rememberance in the Background, You can also see the Melbourne Town Hall where the famous Image of The Beatles waving to the Crowds down below was captured. This song Honours Melbourne as it was the first Rock n Roll city spawning many amazing acts.

I'm from Perth, Western Australia, where Bon Scott is from and is buried. He's an icon and has a number of landmarks and statues around. He has Scottish heritage hence the bagpipes. We have an annual(?) AC/DC parade down a highway (Canning Hwy) that the song Highway to Hell was reportedly written about. Bands get on the back of trucks and play music along the highway as seen in this video. Always a great day. This particular video was shot in Melbourne, on the other side of Oz which had an unbelievable pub music scene over this era..

I'm an Aussie, mid 60s and Bon Scott WAS AC/DC. So much music to explore mate, before Back in Black. Sadly Bon passed away in 1980.

Bon Scott was pure energy and personality. He was TNT, dynamite! I wish like hell I could've seen him before he passed but sadly I wasn't even born yet. Brian is great and I have no problems with him at all but Bon Scott was Rock and Roll! RIP

You heard right… Bon Scott died back in the 1980, he was only 33yrs old. He was a huge drinker, no one was there to help him, cause he was on a Bender. This song is Legendary here in Australia We didn’t know how AC/DC would survive after the loss, but Angus decided they had to.

Bon Scott and his brothers were born in Glasgow in Scotland but were raised in Australia, that's probably why they included it in that song. ACDC is my all time favourite band.

Another Aussie here, I saw ACDC in Melbourne's Hard Rock cafe in 1975, this was their brand new song back then. AWESOME. This footage was taken in Melbournes Swanston St in 1975.

Bon Scott died from sleeping in a car after a night of drinking in feb 1980 .. The back In Black album was current lead singer Brian Johnson's first album with the band and was called back In Black as a tribute to Bon

I would have to go with Led Zeppelin on that one. Jimmy Page is a guitar master and virtuoso with a guitar

The lyrics that always touched me in this song were when he said: “Getting ripped off, underpaid!” Other than getting dumped, I can’t think of a worse feeling for a struggling musician that finally wins a crowd over, than having an unscrupulous club owner magically forget a verbal payment agreement. You left the crowd screaming for more, the club sold a ton of drinks, but then you get shorted and lied to. Every musician who tries to rise above goes through this. This song is truth. Even if it’s pushing 50 years old. My hats off sirs.

Greatest Australian rock band! I love the Bon Scott days. RIP Bon

The feel on that guitar riff is R&R perfection. 😎👍

Absolutely one of the best rock and roll songs, ever.

Bon Scott took ACDC down the road that would lead them to superstardoom. Friggin legend man....At least he had a good time while he was there!!!

There will never be any one quite like Bon - a true hard rock legend.

RIP Bon Scott.. I’m 40 and never saw Bon just missed him but boy as an Aussie icon he’ll never EVER be forgotten! Popping down my Melbourne streets playing bagpipes.. BON SCOTT IS AC/DC!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

THIS is pure undiluted rock & roll! The second greatest use of bagpipes in pop music- John Farnham, 'You're the Voice' Another amazing Aussie!

Filmed on the streets of Melbourne. Bon Scott sang multiple hits with AC/DC before his death and was the anchor for the band. Brian Johnson filled the gap and AC/DC commemorated Scott’s death with the album “back in black”a tribute to the former singer. Iconic Aussie band still going strong today. Over 40 years of entertaining. 🇦🇺🎸🎤👍

I first saw AC/DC in a small local hall on the Mornington Peninsula, my mate was in a band who were the support band. So l was back stage, rubbing shoulders with AC/DC. Use to go to a pub in Melbourne on Saturday night and AC/DC was the regular band and l would dance to all their songs. This was all happening back in 1974.
