My Next AC/DC Analysis with Bon Scott! Vocal ANALYSIS of 'It's A Long Way To The Top' with BAGPIPES

First I heard Korn with bagpipes, and now AC/DC featuring Bon Scott. Yes, I heard your cries loud and clear that I shouldn't have started my AC/DC journey with a live performance of "Thunderstruck" with Brian Johnson, and so here we are. It was impossible to find a live recording with the bagpipes (the drone while it wouldn't have been played would make live performances horrendous) so I went for the studio version over the music video. I hope you all enjoy, I sure did!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to AC/DC featuring Bon Scott for the first time, performing "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock And Roll).

Almost every reactor seems to ignore Bon Scott-era AC/DC. Thank you for featuring him! Bon is a true rock legend and of my favorite rock singers of all time. He infuses SO much joy and personality into his voice. I hope you’ll keep doing more Bon Scott/AC/DC songs! I suggest Jailbreak or Highway to Hell. Thank you Elizabeth!

[richard_n]

Bon Scott has so much emotion and fun in his singing style. He is honestly my favorite front man of all time, he could do it all, sing, write, and produce.

[podunkcitizen]

The best thing about AC/DC is they make people happy!

[starlight]

As much as I love Brian, Bon was simply the true voice of ACDC...unique to the core.

[jbunte]

"If a riff is good, keep going with it." That's AC/DC's career in a nutshell and what makes them great!

[hatch]

“The whole song is a vibe.”
Sister, the whole of AC/DC is a vibe.

[HawkwindAus]

If you were under 30 in Australia in the 70s, this is one of the songs that is seared into your soul. Also, to people of that age, it will always be known by it's other title - "Its a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll" 😆😆

[TomSkulander]

Now at 71 years young I remember ACDC doing this fantastic live stunt in Melbourne. Australia has a vibe as you say, we give people full marks for "having a go", it's the way we are. RIP Bon.

Fun facts about this song: The bagpipes were rather problematic when it came to live performances that this song was rarely played live. Hence the lack of footage. Second fun fact. The boys were sitting around deciding what instrument to bring into the song. Bagpipes were suggested as Bon was once in a pipe band. They went out and bought a stupidly expensive set of bagpipes. they brought them back and discovered they needed to be assembled. Everyone turned to Bon and he said "I don't have a clue. I was a drummer"

[DJHolte]

These guys are just pure rock and roll energy, 100%. And part of that is not taking themselves seriously. One of my favorite rock quotes of all time is these words by Angus Young: “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.”

As an American law student in London in the summer of 1976 I saw them live at the Marquee Club on July 25, 1976. They later became the house band that summer and I think I may have been one of the first Americans to see them live since this was their first time out of Australia. By the end of the concert Angus was down to his underwear and standing on top of the stage speakers. I was in Rock and Roll heaven.

[hoagsmash]

"If a riff is good, keep playing it" is the best summary of AC/DC EVER 😁😁🙌🙌

[kevinpoehlmann]

The combination of Phil Rudd on drums and Malcolm Young on rhythm guitar = best groove ever

[jasonremy]

Bon Scott's singing always sounded like he was having the time of his life. Like, it's always so joyful.

[MitchJohnson]

"Let There Be Rock" Live in Glasgow 1978 is a great example of Bon Scott and the boys young and live! Their energy at that show really shows why they got so popular as well.

[KahRoor]

They made it to the top. Thanks to all of ACDC for being the soundtrack to my life. We miss you Bon and Malcolm. I'm old now so maybe I'll get to see them in concert again soon....it would be worth the trip.

[tpernis]

AC/DC - Let There Be Rock (Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, April 1978) and AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie (1979 Paris)
Are 2 great Live performances with Bon Scott from the late 70s. Plus you get to see Angus running around the stage, he never stops moving, hes like the energizer bunny.

[felipelima]

More Bon Scott please! He was a great vocalist, very charismatic and he left us very early.

[karenglenn]

I grew up in Melbourne where this was filmed in Swanston Street and was a teenager in the 70’s when AC/DC started. I saw them so many times with the brilliant Bon Scott, who was an amazing front man and always had a naughty twinkle in his eye. I have never seen them since he died, no disrespect to Brian, but to me, I saw the best, and that will never change. How lucky we were to see them so often, and they were so tight even then. Knew they were special from the start. Bon is a legend in this country!!

[BarryDean-dvkt]

Man, look at Malcolm in the background rocking out. RIP BS and MY...you guys gave us so much joy.
