Bon Scott, singing his heart out, tongue firmly planted in cheek!! Great suggestion!!

In an interview once, Angus said “I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sound exactly the same, In fact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.”

The comedic edge was something that made Bon Scott irreplaceable.

Ride On is the ultimate Bon Scott song.

The song “Big Balls. “ Very tongue in cheek and double entendre through the whole song. Lots of fun.

This album wasn't actually released in America until after Bon Scott's death. Up until 1977, record companies didn't think the group's albums would sell.

Bon had a much more interesting and evil, dirty, sexy voice. Brian Johnson is great in his own right but he's much more limited.

Lots of good stuff with both singers, but Bon was the best.

Bon Scott era ac/dc was on the radio and in record stores in America in the 70’s, I had all their albums before back in black came out. In 1978 at a birthday party in the park someone brought a ghetto blaster and TNT came on and everyone stood around the radio cause we never heard anything like it, that’s when I started my AC/DC journey

Zeppelin mentions the term in two of their songs

As a military brat, I lived in Europe in the mid to late 70s, and AC DC was already known there. I was introduced to this album. Thankfully. It was the 1st cassette tape I ever owned. Thanks for the reaction.

The whole song is very tongue in cheek. TNT and High Voltage were their first two albums in Oz, so when Bon says at the end, "Concrete tubes, cyanide, TNT!" and then, "Neck ties, contracts, High Voltage!" and the band shout back each time, "Done dirt cheap!" it's a a joke about themselves. 😂

Concrete shoes, not tubes.

Love this band! I saw them in concert on 2/22/1991 in St. Pete, FL when I was 18 during their Razor's Edge tour. Best concert ever!! RIP Malcolm

They were once interviewed and asked about having eleven albums that sound exactly the same. The reply corrected the interviewer that they indeed had twelve albums that sounded exactly the same! 😂 Love AC/DC.

Naw, he was definitely referencing the traditional old black blues meaning of back door man, which has been referenced in so many songs, especially by Led Zeppelin. But what's so great about it here is that is the humerus conclusion to that verse. It's kind of a minor punchline before it goes back into the chorus.

Big Balls is a must.

Both versions of the band rocked. But I always loved Bons voice and delivery. I guess I fell in love with the sound. Just a great rock band.

Hard to tell some AC/DC songs apart, they use pretty much the same chords and tuning in most of them. Still a great song and a great band. Angus Young once said, "I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same." I Loved them just the same. Saw them live a few times and always thought they were great. Check out 'Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution' next. There is also a good parody song you should check out as well. 'Bob Rivers - Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep' Cheers.

I'm a Canadian living in Australia since the mid 1960s. Aussie music kinda developed on it's own because of our isolation. ACDC did an outdoor concert in Adelaide which was the LOUDEST I have ever heard. Please enjoy your journey through Australian music from the 60s through the 80s. I know I did;. Daddy Cool, Little River Band, John Farnham, Cold Chisel, ACDC, Tina Arena, the list goes on. Even an American emigrant, the John Butler Trio. You will be greatly rewarded.

I think they first became big with the Highway to Hell album. That was the album before Back in Black and Bon Scots last. I remember going to see Ted Nugent with my buddies at MSG and ACDC was opening during the Highway tour. We had heard of ACDC before but Nugent was the reason we were there. By the time it was over, no one cared about Nugent. You should do "Big Balls" from the same album. Or, "Giving the Dog a Bone" from back in Black. The thing about ACDC is they are not doing anything complicated but they do it better than anyone else. Back Door man you heard on a Zeppelin song or two. It does mean cheating but I was like 11 when I first heard Plant say that and I knew the other meaning at 11. So I am pretty sure Plant knew the other meaning as well and meant it both ways.

AC/DC wasn't widely known in the U.S. before Highway to Hell, or they would have hit sooner. Although Highway is one of their best and certainly more polished than previous albums thanks to Mutt Lange. The entire side one especially is absolute fire, and imo better than Back in Black. But I have a lot of memories tied to that album so I may be biased. And I would have still cared about seeing Ted. He put on a helluva show back then and is one of the GOAT guitar players.

A few others. I almost messed up and said this song and Big Balls but then I remembered, this album was released in the US much later so I hadn't heard those songs before Highway to Hell. As far as Ted goes, I am talking about that particular concert. Ted was ok. But after the show ACDC put on, no one was even thinking about Nugent. What I am saying is we came to see Nugent. But by the time the concert was over, everyone was talking about how good ACDC was.

Did you notice that on that iconic album cover, that the dog is the only one of all of them that doesn't have its eyes blacked out? Lol. ❤

A friend of mine used to like when I would break out the guitar and do one of my Bon Scott impersonations. One night, a year or so later, while watching live music at a local club, (My bud knew the band) I was just sipping a beer when this song started to play and the band announced, "For this song, we need to have Mike come to the stage." It was one of the scariest and then greatest moments of my life. Belting this out on stage with a good band and shocking the crowd (most didn't know I spoke let alone sing) was an awesome moment. Bon Scott died on the same day as my father back in 1980, so I always had a strange connection with this band, especially with their 2nd singer Bon. (1st was Dave Evans for a year).

Bon's lyrics tend to be a lil cheeky 😄 But always rockin' music and fun! The Bon era is fire, all the albums with him!

I was going to suggest "Big Balls", as others have, but also another of my favorites with Bon Scott, "Touch Too Much".

ACDC were so much fun in the Bon years. A couple of other good Bon Scott ones are "Ride On" and "Night Prowler". Fun fact(well not so fun actually): The serial killer, Richard Ramirez, aka the Night Stalker, would listen to Night Prowler whilst cruising neighbourhoods scouting for potential victims. A good Brian Johnson one is Shoot to Thrill.

Their songs have been used in so many movies, so they have a very familiar sound. I hear so many people say” that song sounds so familiar”. There’s no mistaken the sound of AC/DC.

Great reaction. You need to listen to more Bon Scott AC/DC. Such fun. Thank You.

once "rock & roll" gets into your soul - it never leaves !!

Joan Jett and the Black Hearts did a cover of this in 1990.

This album was released in Australia in 1976. The US had not been marketed properly in their previous tour so 3 of their albums didn't get released in North America until AFTER Highway to Hell came out in 1979. Then, they were so huge, that the US released their whole catalog, putting all their albums on the top 40 for a bit that year.

An underrated classic from ac dc is “touch too much” music is great and hilarious lyrics

"Let there be rock", live in Paris, 1978 I believe. Or "A whole lotta Rosie" from the same night. Angus has to go off stage to get oxygen. Much love you two.

I love Bob’s voice on “ Night Prowler” and. “ Sin City” “ Jailbreak”

I remember Angus saying once, in an interview, that the "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" line was from some Australian cartoon character!! LOL

More like about dirty deeds in general. At least one and probably two (depending on how you interpret the last verse) of the verses are about about him offering sexual services.

Loved listening to ACDC freaking loud ❤

Bon scott wrote his own lyrics, usually about booze,woman ,and rock and roll,brian Johnson doesnt do his own lyrics,they were more blues/rock n roll with bon and yes he had lots charm and personality...brians great too,but different...

Big Balls. Got to listen to it.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 They've been "FIRE" ever since the 70s!! ...and, Yes - a backdoor man USED to mean the guy that the wife was cheating with....and, as the hubby came in the FRONT door, after work, he'd hear the "back door slamming", because the "backdoor man" was leaving, as hubby was walkin' in!! LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!! :) THANKS!!! Hugs from TEXAS!

Good call Sam on the TNT similarity. As for Bon? Yes. As soon as they put a mic in his hand he became a certified Hit Man. Only Bon Scott could sing the song 'Can I Sit Next to You, Girl' properly and it shows when one compares the AC/DC debut single to the later one featuring Scott. That song really shows why he was so loved.

One of my favorite songs of theirs, also "Big Balls"

Love me some AC/DC thanks for this great reaction 🎸🥁🤟

Innuendo innuendo innuendo. Acdc. The best.

Best AC/DC song imo. Soooo good. I get pumped up every time since 76.

That scream at the end is badass

Bon Scott , best lyricist in rock

My wife dated Bon when they used to jam at her house way back in the beginning. Aussie Pub Rock is a genre all its own. You need to check out bands from the same era such as The Angels, Australian Crawl and Rose Tattoo

It's about a hitman and an "escort."

Yes, Bon had a sense of humour. (Some channels do their reviews with the lyrics on the screen, always... It makes perfect sense to do so.) Glad you enjoyed the song - would love for you to do the bluesy 'Ride On', it'll surprise you both. Lots of feel and Angus' 2 slow solos will blow you away 💪

This a great AC/DC song! Check out NIGHT PROWEL if you want to hear Bonn at his best!

I'm glad you see the comedic aspect of songs like this. Back in my day, when this song came out, parents went on a rampage because of what their sweet little tykes were listening to! 🤣 For another great comedic effect you should give "The Lumberjack Song", by Jackyl, a listen to. Best use of a chainsaw in a song EVER!

Even though Sam has heard TnT, I hope you still react to it, it's one of my favorite AC/DC songs.

I'm 53 now but when this song came out I was just a little kid. And I didn't fully understand what was being said. So I sang what I thought was being said. Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Jeep. And I kept picturing this big huge Jeep but that's not what he says. But I can't listen to this song and not think of how I would use to sing it

Bon Scott is one best singer all time saw in concert very good you see them you will not forget them

Powerage 😊 By far the best album AC/DC ever did. If you dont get hooked listening to that album there is something wrong in the brain stam ❤❤❤

Yes you have to listen to their song Big Balls

My Mom, God rest her soul, thought it was 'Dirty Knees! Dungarees!'.

The last half of Angus' solo, he plays with one hand. You should watch the live version from River Plate with Brian singing.

It can also be sung as "Dirty deeds done with sheep".

For very high voltage rock and roll you need to try 'kicked in the teeth again' from 'Powerage', Bon's open lines will make your jaws drop.

Always AC/DC leads with those power riffs

Some suggestions. With Bon: - Riff Raff - Down Payment Blues With Brian: - For Those About to Rock - Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution

“Ride On” from the same album, is definitely worth a listen

Led Zep and the Doors are some of the more famous bands that have used the term "back door man." But I think this song means the classic version of "back door man." It's just that this is how he's going to fix your problem with your woman.

36-24-36 if you know you know right fellas 😂

Classic stuff.

It's about the groove.😊

You'll be amused by the song Big Balls, also on the Dirty Deeds album

No, you’re right. Bon Scott is a comedian.❤

AC/DC was my first concert back in 1996 on the Ballbreaker tour. Great show and great memories. AC/DC are amazing live.

Everybody that I know, when they sing the chorus, say dirty deeds done with sheep. It’s fun.

There are 2 different AC/DC's, Bons AC/DC and the Youngs AC/DC, the brothers took over writing the lyrics when Bon passed away.

It sounds similar to other acdc stuff because it's all acdc so ofcourse it sounds alike

Keep going with the early albums songs there are so many that are pure gold and don't get played that deserve to be heard also if you find the videos you will see how crazy Angus could get

This album is fire, choose some more please. Greeting from the Netherlands

I believe the American slang meaning of back-door-man is what Phil mentions. Sneaking around during an affair. I think the British refer to back-door as more of someone committing an indirect or discreet act. Which is what I assume this song is referencing.

Bon was very goofy and playful while Brian is much more on the serious side but not entirely serious. Brian actually had an interview show you can see here on KZread and I remember randomly finding it one day to see Brian interviewing Dolly Parton. They came off almost like lifelong friends. If you really want to be stunned you should checkout the band Geordie with a young Brian on vocals ... almost entirely unrecognizable but still quite amazing. Oh, as to the term "backdoor man", it means both, its meaning is different depending what country you're in. Almost forgot, this song has been heavily used in movie and TV soundtracks.

Angus and Malcom had an older brother named George who was guitarist in a band called The Easybeats. You should check out their song Friday on my Mind.
