The Ultimate Rock Revolution From Down Under | Blood & Thunder: The Sound Of Alberts | Amplified
Unveiling Rock Revolution: How Albert Productions Shattered Norms and Redefined Music!
During the decades spanning the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, Albert Productions emerged as an influential powerhouse in Australia, reshaping the very fabric of Australian pop music.
Guided by Ted Albert and the collaborative efforts of songwriters/producers Harry Vanda and George Young, Alberts fostered a collective of artists including Billy Thorpe, The Easybeats, Stevie Wright, AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, The Angels, John Paul Young, TMG, and more.
This assembly dominated the music charts, garnering global recognition. Yet, their music wasn't always gentle. The Alberts' guitar resonance mimicked the pulsating vigor of a V8 engine, echoing the resilient migrant neighborhoods from which it originated.
It exuded an air of defiance, embodying the spirit of Australia's audacious and electrifying suburban youth. It encapsulated the vibrant essence of blue-collar revelry.

As an American that believes Rock-N-Roll is life, and who would want to be Australian had I not been born in America, I find this absolutely fascinating.
I could not look at Stevie Wright, and see him the way he was, and the damage done to himself through drugs.. He has so much potential. It is very sad.
This is an amazing story. Love AC/DC!
Growing up Australian in the ‘60’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s was a gift. We were so blessed to have our own world class local music scene.. while also being tuned in to both the UK and US charts. Our whole world revolved around music. But, at the centre of our country, the spirit and the heart, is a big, red rock named Uluru, and rock we do.
My mum is in her mid 70's and she's a huge AC/DC fan, we always had some AC/DC playing on the stereo when I was a little kid, I'm 53 years old now and I'm still a huge AC/DC fan.
Young & Vanda were famous for writing hit ballads, yet AC/DC never did a single ballad they were just balls to the wall rock n'roll.
I was 13 in 63 I grew up with the best music in the world I went to Homebush High a couple of stations from Ashfield.
Every time I watch a documentary about Australian music, the momentum always picks up the moment it starts talking about AC/DC!!
We ain't gonna change for nobody Bon Scott.
This is the first ½ of blood & thunder. The 2nd ½ is even better
The particular flavours that Vanda and Young added to so many good bands-not the least is AC/DC-was what created a particular sonic that all rockin' Australians know. The Angel's muted guitar was probably the greatest of all the 'Australian sounds' we were being fed.
As a 55yr old Australian, I approve this doco. I grew up with the aussie sound.
Damn those Aussies know how to make a rock doco . Just riveting .
Awesome trip into Aussie rock & the music industry. Loved it!
The world needed this documentary.
Angus my hero damn he rocks Australia never had great music until the seekers came up set the scene. Love this story. Such a humble band, God Bless. I wish my parents went to aus.
Brilliant
Please do a part 2. There’s so much more to this story.
Wow! When i heard I'll Make You Happy playing, I didn't realize Divinyls had been covering it years later.
Aussie rock all the way gotta love AC/DC The Angels Rose Tattoo.
