Sure grit is part of the sound of distortion on a guitar , but it is more then that. It is the tone and the mix. A lot of this stuff is mixed diffrent on CD. Base is louder , or guitar is softer , voice is louder etc. It happens again and again with most record to CD recordings. I can't even listen to AC DC unless it is a record or an old tape. Same goes with Led Zep.
Watching it again today. It is so good to hear that bottom sound and all the crunch. I have not heard it like this in a long time. Of course this is not as clear as the records , but it sounds better then any of these awful CDs today. YOu know they have done tests that show that old records produce a pleasent REM state in the mind that CD's fail to do.
Wow that sounds great with all the right tones. Not like it sounds on CD's. CD s suck for old music. It sounded so much better on records and tapes. You have to have a real ear for music to know that however.
@alexlancer11 You just like the gritty sounds.That we grew up with.It makes the difference with Rock n Roll.i do not think country sounded as good gritty.
You either get 'em or you don't. AC DC is the most down to earth, humble, HONEST band to EVER have been. There sound....lyrics....personalities....all honest to the core. Raw, energized angst....full of piss-and-vinegar. I'm 42....been playing guitar since I was 8. I'm an instructor....a fairly intelligent guy....and if I got to hang with these guys for an hour....I'd probably be crying. They are just as REAL as it gets.
You either get 'em or you don't.....AC DC...the GODS of RnR!
Just to settle this sound mixing debate below, this is a TV mix, i.e. he is singing live, but the rest of the band is from the mastertape without the lead vocal.
@VinylGuy63 YES ! this is right, but it was rare in those days back, that a band fully performed live, don't forget that.....the only band I know, that often performed live was the Jimi Hendrix experience, and CCR's singer John FOgerty sangs often live, in the 60's and 70's, although till the late 80's the most bands uses playbakc, sometimes today even....
I love Bon Scott but I just watch him and laugh! He is the MAN! Does anyone else notice his jeans are rubbed white at the crotch? Like all his groupies did it! What a fucking Stud!
@meatbundle Yeah, pretty much anyone who appeared on stuff like this was made to. They hated having to do it though. If my memory recalls correctly Nirvana/Kurt Cobain were forced to mime as well and as a protest Cobain kept stuffing up on purpose.
@electricfetus100 How do you know it's natural reverb? It does sound like the record. Hear that tom hit? Totally exactly the same as the record. Guitar solo bits too. Sounds way separated and studio mixed. But I do hear the reverb. Uh, and I earn my living playing guitar.
the band is still going but for me there are two eras of the band .......B.S. (Bon Scott) and A.D. (after death) Listen how clear the voice is.Sorry Brian, but you cant hold a candle to that voice.
@beatlesman369 rock was mainstream in the fiftys it was just starting to come out in the 40s and 20s30s there was blues the birth giver of rock so unless your dad is older than at least 70 he wasnt born before rock sorry mate
This clip really takes me back to when I met bon, angus, malcolm and phil after the concert in Brisbane 18th Dec. 1976. All the guys were so friendly especially Bon who is the most charismatic person I have ever met. He was, is and always will be the greatest singer of all time. You are always in my thoughts Bon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ACDC - one of the few bands who continued their success with two different singers - some bands pulled it off and some didn't. Bon ROCKS! So does Brian.
@TheOriginalSakattack This is the recorded version, genius. Back when they first started play live shows, they just had Bon sing over the recorded version. You honestly can't tell that it sounds identical to the recording (minus Bon's actual singing of course)?
Bon was the sh it! Its truly a shame he had to go! They were so much more young for one thing, but I have to give Brian some credit with Back in Black! Damn.......
They didn`t become ONE OF Australia`s biggest entertainment exports. They became THE BIGGEST Australian entertainment export ever. It`s a well known fact now that AC/DC are Australia`s greatest ever money making export. Not a bad effort from a great bunch of Aussie working class high school drop outs and failed apprentices.
Ya no problem. It was common for many people to not be able to tell the difference between malcolm and stevie. Stevie played with the band on one of their u.s. tours while malcolm recovered from alcoholism. But Malcolm has since returned and stevie has his own band.
Erverybody says Brian Johnson was a better singer but Bon scott's voice actually sounded like that and Brian Johnson tries to make his voice sound like that.
to have that tone that malcolm has is my life's wish.
