THANK YOU for posting these Jesse!!! It's so amazing to get to hear these interviews from the people you interviewed. Cheers! Oran

There's so much about Bon that has still to come to light. Well done for researching this - every last detail counts. Then we can get to major things like those Bon-style lyrics on the Back in Black album...

My dad is into poetry. He writes his own and he reads all the greats. He knows a decent amount of Bon's lyrics, especially for a bluegrass-loving guy. Lol But he was always really impressed with Bon's wit and humor and his relatable lines. Especially lines like, "I've got patches on the patches on my old blue jeans..."; my dad grew up poor so he could relate to what Bon was writing about. When I asked him what the chances were that Brian would be able to write like his predecessor, Bon, with lines that are near verbatim (just a different perspective) such as, "I'm coming on like a hurricane", which is just like Bon wrote in Stick Around with "You came on like a hurricane" 5.5 years prior. Or use the line "Made a meal out of me" which is like Bon's line in Love Hungry Man from a year earlier; "All I wanna do, is make a meal outta you". Plus other Bon-isms or actual straight-up Bon expressions. Meanwhile, the band says, "Brian just so happened to write just like Bon!" My dad laughed. My old man is a smart guy. And he knows good, talented writing when he sees/hears it. I said, "Dad, how do you know so many AC/DC lyrics?" He said, "Between you and your brother I've been listening to them for 45 years. How can I not pick up on it?" Lol Think about this one: In Hells Bells the lyric goes, "MY lightning's flashing across the sky", right? Bon gave an interview where he was asked, "Are you AC or DC?", Bon replied, "Neither! I'm the lightning flash in the middle!" So, "MY lightning's flashing across the sky" is an OBVIOUS Bon Scott line, to me.

Nice work Jesse. I want to know where his journals are.

Same here, Jim. I really doubt Angus would have thrown them out. From what I've heard and read about Angus it just doesn't seem like something he would do. I don't think he really cares about Brian's legacy and if people one day find out the truth about BIB. To me it was obvious when they got Axl in the band (and they can pretend all they want, but he was most certainly there to take over from Brian. Look at the way they quickly wished Brian the best on his future endeavors). During an interview Angus was singing Axl's praises, comparing him to Bon. Cliff Williams said he hadn't seen Angus so excited in many, many years. Angus talked about how Axl reminded him of Bon in that he had he was like a "Folk character" and had his own personality like Bon. Then you had the Youngs wanting to boot Brian in the late 80s because they were going nowhere fast. I think the Youngs wanted another Bon from that point on. Someone who could write lyrics so they didn't have to, someone who could sing and come up with melodies over their riffs and ideas. Basically, another Bon who could whip their riffs and chord progressions into full-on songs the way Bon did. I will always credit Jeremy "JR" Hunsaker for coming up with that entire analogy on who the real songwriter was; Bon. The only thing that saved Brian's job then was the success of The Razor's Edge. If that album did about the same as Blow Up Your Video they would have no doubt given Brian the axe. Cheers, pal! Oran

Bob Scott RIP Legend

I was in the music machine the night non died. I saw him drinking at the bar with Pete way. He seemed OK and not raving drunk or anything like that. I always regret not going up and saying hello to him. Couldn't believe he was found dead the next day , so sad

Must have been another night as Pete Way never said anything about being there. He did take a call about Bon the next day, according to Paul Chapman.

@@JesseFinkBooksPete Way was at the Music Machine with Bon Scott on the night that Bon died. Ross Halfin took some photos of Way and Scott together at the Music Machine. On February 19th 2020, Ross Halfin posted the photos on his website where he states this: “A few photos of Pete Way and Bon Scott at The Music Machine Camden London, taken forty years ago today the night Bon Scott died, strange to think of this”. As per usual, Fink, you’ve got all your “facts” mixed up! Stop lying.

@@JesseFinkBooks it’s on Ross Halfin’s website - where he states quite clearly he took the photos on the night that Bon died. I’d rather take the word of Ross Halfin over the word of a money grabbing charlatan, like you. Let Bon Scott rest in peace.

@@CymruCelt01Gee, you look like a bit of a dill now. A bigger man might apologise. I spoke to Halfin, who thought it was at the Lewisham Odeon on 17 February. It’s not. Just because he’s using it on his website and claiming it’s the last photo of Bon doesn’t mean it’s correct. Incredible time travel to be able to go back in time and be printed in the 16 February 1980 edition of Sounds, which would likely mean it was the 7 February UFO show at the Hammersmith. In 1980, newspapers took time to be printed and photographs took time to be developed. Try not to let your ignorance get in the way of the truth; I know it must be hard to admit you got it wrong and embarrassed yourself in the process.

Bon Scott/ Randy Rhoades/ Cliff Burton..all suspicious. And what a coincidence..just on the verge of massive success..amazing coincidence.

@@darrenakers8680 Randy's demise was swept under the rug, and most silly 🐑believe the narrative. Those involved like it that way. As for myself, I'm not impressed with those that love and make a lie. I believe I have figured it out but their really is no sense, as no one will care, nor listen as they just will say it's an opinion, and they would be right to say so. We live in a fallen world where evil is abound.
