Anyone else here think that Bon Scott is all too often overlooked & underappreciated by the masses as a rock icon?
Rock in peace Bon...

Yes, I do. He should have a much more larger worship than, say, Jim Morrison, IMO. Bon is in my top five of the best rock singers ever, for sure.
He deserved a Nobel for the way he sings "And it's another red light nightmare, another red light street, and I ain't too old to hurry cause I ain't too old to die but I sure am hard to beat".
Iīll have a son some day and heīll know and hear Bon Scott.

Bon is an incredible vocalist. Made AC/DC more of a fun rock and roll band than the 80s metal sheen that brian johnson brought. if you want blood, you got it |

R.I.P Bon. A true legend.
AC/DC was very lucky to find Johnson, who I beleive delivered under SO much pressure.
He saved Ac/Dc.
But we can never forget the Bon. |

Is it me or: I find a hidden sense of humor in bon's voice, something pretty rare I'd say. I a list of humor nuanced rock voices I'd rate 1) bon 2) david lee roth and not many others.
I am not talking bout lyrics or explicit laughs, just a shade od humour in the voice.
Bruno, my son sings english lyrics but does nt quite understand me, that saves me from explaining the meaning (by now, he' 7) |

Yeah, you would be in trouble trying to explain him most of the catalogue! |

I think he was underrated...he didn't look anything like he sounded...you would have thought it was Angus singing with that voice...all that said, I like Brian Johnson better...as a vocalist...but their best music was done with Bon...except for Back in Black which was, IMO, their best...conundrums there

When you think of how big B in B was when it was released, (YES, I was there)it was such a shame that Bon wasn't there for the ride! Leaves one to only imagine what it would of sounded like?
I actually have a version of Bon doing Back in Black and
IMHO, bloody better version than Brian's.
Bon has to be one of the top 5 Rock and Roll Singers ever.
And while we are on that topic...
My Top 5 are:
Mick Jagger
Steven Tyler
Robert Plant
Bon Scott
Chris Robinson

I used to have this recording of BIB with another singer, which i downloaded off limewire - that may be the recording you are talking about. It supposed to be Bon Scott singing but it isn't Bon (definitely not Brian Johnson either). I always thought it was Stevie Wright from the Easybeats but I read somewhere else that it's Joe Lynne Turner but I don't believe that either. I think it has to be one of the blokes who auditioned for the band shortly after Bon's death. From memory Stevie Wright didn't get as far as an audition, Joe Lynn Turner definitely didn't audition, a singer by the name of Allan Fryer was George Young's preferred option, & suppposedly Jimmy Barnes also auditioned. My guess is the singer is Allan Fryer. |

No, it's really Joe Lynn Turner, a Back in Black cover from this record

AC/DC: Rare Live Video Of 'Baby Please Don't Go' Posted Online - Feb. 17, 2007
blabbermouth.net
To mark the 27th anniversary of AC/DC singer Bon Scott's death, a very rare video of "Baby Please Don't Go", recorded live in Sydney in 1976, has been made available for download on
www.acdc-live.com.
Bon Scott died on February 19, 1980 in London, England. He choked to death on his own vomit while sleeping in a friend's car. According to the AC/DC FAQ web site, he and the friend, a musician named Alisdair Kinnear, had been drinking the evening of the 19th and Bon apparently fell asleep during the ride home. Kinnear could not wake Bon, so he left him in the car to sleep. Kinnear awoke early in the evening on the 20th, checked on Bon, and found him unconscious in the car. Bon could not be revived, and was pronounced dead.

I thought Brian Johnson more or less wrote Back in Black...how could Bon have sung it? |
