#ACDC #80sRock #RocknRoll

"You Shook Me All Night Long" is one of most undeniable jams of all time. It's the ultimate party tune, that creates an uncontrollable urge to rock. This song and many others by AC/DC is truly the definition of rock and roll. ACDC is a band that truly exemplifies every element of rock. they are rock and roll personified. In this video we celebrate this iconic song from the second biggest selling album in the world, Back in Black. With the irrepressible Angus Young, who detonates a face melting, heart rupturing guitar solo that's become the stuff of legend and although there will only be one Bon Scott, the vocal performance by Brian Johnson on "You Shook Me All Night Long" effectively began his legacy as one of the most distinctive rock vocalists of all time. With an appearance by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads who relates a hilarious story about the band, this is a must see episode.

Then the roller coaster fell to the band's NAYDEAR in February, 1980, when their beloved & rebellious front man Bon Scott was found dead in the back of a friend's car in London after a heavy night of partying. The official cause of Scott's death was classified as "alcohol poisoning" and "death by misadventure". The loss of Bon was devastating, and the band seriously contemplated breaking up. They had lost, not only their charismatic front man, but also their primary lyricist over 7 studio albums. Bon's close friends & family, particularly Bon's father, strongly encouraged the band to find a new lead singer, and forge ahead. Bon's father said it is "what Bon would've wanted." The band decided that they would actively pursue a new singer following Bon's funeral.

The auditions began to find a replacement for Bon Scott, and there were some notable candidates that vied for the gig, including Noddy Holder from Slade, who reportedly, was offered the job and turned it down. During the auditions, Malcolm & Angus remembered Bon mentioning a singer that he was really impressed with named Brian Johnson who was the front man for a band called Geordie, that he saw perform in London in the mid-70s.

Bon told the brothers that he saw this guy named Brian Johnson, and how great he was. Bon described watching Brian writhing on the stage floor, kicking and screaming while the crowd went nuts. Brian Johnson remembered the night when Bon saw him perform very well, because the reason he was on the floor of the stage was not part of the act, it was because he was suffering from a vicious appendicitis attack, and rather than rushing off stage to the hospital like most performers would have done, Johnson kept singing- essentially, waling in agony.

All of the remaining AC/DC crew, and producer Mutt Lange, wanted Brian to be their new lead singer. To Brian's surprise, they offered him the gig, he happily accepted, and the band made the official announcement on April 1, 1980, that Brian Johnson was the new lead singer of AC/DC. Billboard Breakdown.

The band's bumpy ride reached its pinnacle in July, 1980, when they released 'Back in Black', a historic LP that not only overtook Highway to Hell as the band's best selling album, it would go on to become the 2nd biggest selling album of all time, selling an estimated 50 million copies around the world- 2nd only to Michael Jackson's Thriller. With Mutt Lange at the helm the album was meticulously produced. Mutt Lang's attention to detail and perfectionism is of course the stuff of Legend. I was interviewing Jerry Harrison who at the time was with Talking Heads recording in the same studio.
