  • brian 's shit man ! rip bon you were acdc r&r m8

  • OMG Down Payment Blues Live Version is even better than the Studio Version! CX

    Good job Brian! :)

  • at least the music's good.

  • i think brian's voice is amazing!

  • I'm somewhat upset that Angus didn't play the highest notes in his solo, he played it an octave down :(

  • They should be playin this song live these days instead of boring stuff they choose to play.

  • This is my all time favorite AC/DC song...Thanks for the post "liberacapeta"!!!!

  • I love this song!!!!!

    AC/DC 4 EVER!!!!

  • they played this at daytona also. I remember this song>fookin awsome!!!

  • theres no band quite like ac/dc but ive seen only one good cover band that covers ac/dc songs and they are actually very very good.....DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP...ROCK-N-ROLL FOREVER

  • are you sure this is in 1996?

  • @Ms70sFlowerchild Yes they played on the ballbreaker tour

  • brian johnson is the best singer ever!!!!!!!

  • @chopsticks1215 Brian is a good guy!

  • Brains voice is pretty strained but it suits the albums he did, if you look up his old band Gordie he really had a great voice shame he doesn't use it that much. =)

  • He actually sang in Geordie. In AC/DC he basically screamed until his voice was hoarse. His voice is sounding better on the Black Ice tour though

  • you all need to stop putting brian down bon like him and thats that

  • @chaney70 Ye Bon said to the other guys that Brian was brilliant thats why Ang and Mal decided to bring Brian in for a rehearsal

  • Yes, that's why "Back in Black" is the best-selling album of all-time by a band and the second best-selling album ever. That's why AC/DC's current Black Ice tour is sold out worldwide in every single venue. Why people travel thousand of miles to see them perform. Why they were inducted into the Rock n' Roll hall of fame. Why they are widely acknowledged as one of the best Rock n' Roll bands ever. Face it, if AC/DC had quit after Bon died, they wouldn't be half as famous as they are now.

  • Yes, I must agree with you.

  • I totally agree on this, All 3-Chicago shows on the Black Ice tour were all sold out!!!

  • Faggot!

  • Horrible Quality

  • Ok for those who says Brian was a ''bad'' replacement for Bon, well who would you pick then? Name one person that would fit better, that the members themselves would take instead of Brian? Honestly, Brian was the best replacement, i can't think of any other singer that has a similar style to any of them, and that actually fits, Robert Plant? Nah i don't think so. I think i've read somewhere that even the members felt Brian was the best choice, and who can blame them? Two great singers FTW!

  • brian is nowhere near bon, nobody is. i would rank him as one of the best front men ever. his lyrics for this genre are pretty much untouchable. best replacement for bon would have been... no one. there is no lp they did after bon that was anywhere close to the bon stuff. actually, i thought highway to hell was their weakest lp with bon. cant beat powerage. ac/dc at their very best. no doubt about it.

  • i agree. i dont like your fucking name though

  • of course i am right. matthew, perhaps you can go out and buy a sense of humor or something.

  • this is BON SCOTT'S song!! but its angus band. so who am i to say shit. i love brain johnson, but only on his stuff. he cant do "let there be rock". nobody else could do "back in black" whatever.

  • the soul of acdc are angus and malcolm. Bon will live until they die. Brian.. mmmmh...well, yes he can sream :-D errr- and yes: acdc is a rock'n'roll band.

  • I think its funny how everyone forgets theres 5 members of acdc. W/out Cliff Williams on bass and Phill Rudd on drums...

  • Nice change to "the Jack"-song in the end :P

  • Anyone who says Brian is better then Bon is either stupid or on drugs . Bon was the heart & soul of acdc , when he died acdc died , i don't want to hear this shit that brian was a good replacement , Bon could never be replaced , not by brian or anyone else. Bon was a great singer as well as songwriter , & by the way most of the lyrics on back in black were already written when bon died & were not written by brian , brian was singing songs that he didn't even write , thats a fact !! Bon= LEGEND!

  • I think Brian is ecual. I don't waste my time compering them. AC/DC will only die when one memeber dies: Angus Young. HE is the heart of AC/DC. Everyone knows who "the guitarist in school uniform" is. Brian, who? Bon, who? Bon is a ledgend, I agree. But better then AC/DC themself? no, he wasn't.

  • You honestly think that the Young brothers kept Bon's name off the song credits? Ya, right. They had most of the main riffs written, and a couple song titles, but no lyrics when Bon died. He hadn't even heard them play what they had.....he was supposed to join the band the following day to begin writing lyrics for songs. Watch the interview where THEY tell the story of the making of Back In Black.

  • If you don't like Brian, you're not a true AC/DC fan.

    Both Brian and Bon are incredible.

  • Leave this song to bon scott , matter of fact do me a favor do not sing bon scott songs , you do them no justice.

  • amen to that. no singer matches bon and especially this guy nit. such a poor singer. no reach, no soul or boogie in his voice. can just scream.

  • i shit my pants whit AC/DC

  • great song, great band. this song has got a very good solo. angus is my hero

  • RAISE YOUR GOBLET OF ROCK! 3:50

  • angus great!!!

  • Brian sounds great on this song.

  • They had the sense to keep him in-unlike Metallica,pussies on t.v auditioning for a bassist,that was pathetic.This guy,(Brian) had a following and he backed himself up great from the beginning till now,I don't get why people still get all over his shit.He does his job,and does his job good.Plus he's a great lyricist.

  • All this band's rocks: AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, metallica, Airbourne, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio. all of them are legend's of rock/metal! if anybody want's to rite shit about does band's, don't do it on youtube

  • im going crazy every time i read/hear/listen, that acdc is a metal band!!!!, they are a ROCK N ROLL band, just listen what bon said, o the fucking songs, come one men, stop confusing the styles

  • brian and phil the best

  • 28 years later and Brian still gets this shit? How can you call yourself fans?

  • i know mate- its so pathetic, what a load of tossheads

  • Were they starting to play 'The Jack' at the end?

  • nope - that was the end of the song - listen to the original...

  • Umm... that does sound like a slide into "The Jack" there at the end. The "original" D.P.B. is a riff in "B", while what they do here is clearly a "B", to "A", to "E", ie: the intro riff to "The Jack".

  • Yes, definitely the intro to the jack. Down payment blues does have a 12 bar end but that was not it.

  • Yeaqh no doubt the jack.

  • Bon was sexier

  • Not a patch on Bon. With Brian came a more american aimed sound. Saw them with Bon at Hammersmith several times and then with Brian on the Back In Black tour. Didn't bother again. Sorry but not the same band. Back in Black was the last album I bought,got all the Bon Scott albums and still enjoy them. Not a criticism, just didn't like the new sound.

  • to that i say listen to ballbreaker.. long live brian johnson

  • AC Power DC is back cocksuckers, the world needs to AC Power Power DC, Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

  • Bon is one of the best singers of all time! Brian is one of the best singers of all time! BUT Brian can´t sing Bon´s songs anymore. His voice starting to get old. But I don´t think Bon could sing Brian´s song if he was in life. They are to different rockers and I think the score are 50/50 like "the best singer". COME ON!!! AC/DC Monsters of Rock! I am writing here now because I Love AC/DC! Everything round me is AC/DC! So if you don´t like AC/DC you don´t have to write here!

    AC/DC 4 EVER

  • If Brian haven´t been good this 28 years with the band... if Brian dont like you guys... You are not ACDC fans, cos I like Brian like Bon!, Im fan of ACDC and i dont mind who is better, it´s ACDC simply!

  • True AC/DC fans,die hard or not,don't compare the lead singers,when one is the best singer in Rock history,and one is the best screamer in rock history. I don't like Bon over Bri and I don't like Bri over Bon. I like songs called

    Down Payment Blues,Highway to Hell,Rock n Roll Damnation,High Voltage,Let There Be Rock, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,etc...

    And I also like songs called

    Back in Black,For those about to rock,You shook me all night long,Who made who, Sink the Pink,etc...

  • Agreed, both are more or less just good singers with extremely powerful and fairly unique voices.

    Comparing drummers on the other hand, while I thought Chris Slade did awesome, there's no better drummer for this band than Phil Rudd.

  • @ackeltondc Dead on man, well said!!!!!

  • acdc are GREAT with bon and with brian, great players, great songwriters, great entertainers

  • bull crap.

    all there records are great.

    both Brian and Bon are good singers.

    thy both have different sounds.

  • Ok. I hope this might settle this little argument about bon and brian. Bon and brian are 2 completely different singers, making it impossibal to compare the 2. Like clasical music and rock , there both great but in seperate ways.

    (ex monkey and a dog) a monkey will throw poop at you, a dog will be your best companion. a monkey can do minor mathmatical problems while a dog can only shake paw.

    Everbody has there personal preferences, but dont just go saying that one is batter than the other

  • i must say i like brian better. but the voices r too different u cant rele tell its just pure preference. if u like it harder than u prob like brian more but if u dont like it as hard u probably like bon.

  • If people didn't buy into Brian's voice, they wouldn't have made AC/DC BACK IN BLACK one of the top 10 greatest albums of all time.

  • i absolutely agree with you

  • i liked bon but he's good to

  • bon had a more sex apeal voice to me brian has more of a rough sandpapery voice none the less couldnt found a better person to replace bon

  • AC/DC rules. Bon was Bon ! Brian is Brian!

    AC/DC became more heavy and evil after Bon s death. They carried on and still stayed on top!

  • angus rocks

  • im not a big fan of johnson either, bon scott era was the best

  • fuck off!! THEY GOT A ENGLISH SINGER WITH THE MOST OBVIOUS BRIT ACCENT! HOW THE FUCK WERE THEY MEANT TO CARRY ON AS AN AUSSIE BAND HUH?? dont put them down, there an amazing band!! and the fans they have now are the same fuckin fans they had when they started!! looks like ur the one who changed buddy. . .

  • dude, ac/dc doesn't change with the times, what are you talking about? if that was the case they wouldn't be wearing jeans and crappy tee shirts!!!!

  • You don´t get it do you?? AC/DC just plays rock n´ roll man. The only difference between the time before back in black and after is that they made money after it. But that didn´t change them a bit. But the world around them has changed to a worser place. And people like you don´t make it better. But all the millions of die hard fans don´t need you and AC/DC certainly don´t need you.

  • Although Bon is my hero, Brian does a better job, and he'd be proud if he heard me sing it cuz I sing identical to him, and not too many people can. I'm the target of major criticism and jelousy cuz of my talent. I got a standing ovation when I performed TNT at a concert hall!!

  • I like Johnson but Bon had soul - he was Australias answer to Plant.

  • C´è qualcuno che conosce altri Codici Promozionali come FUNPOT, con il quale ti danno subito alcuni biglietti da cento, se ti registri su Betfairpoker com? Perché con questi soldi puoi giocare a poker gratis, praticamente senza nessun rischio! Niente male, no?

  • fuck I bought powerage week ago, great song

  • Totally forgot about this song. It kick ass or say AC/DC kick ass. Thanks for posting

  • of course we"ll never forget BON...And brian is cool he is in harmony with the rest of the group and the fan of course too!

  • Hell Bon would be proud!!! I'm so happy to see the boys bringing more of the rarely heard Bon Scott era songs back into their set. Brian does a great job on DPB as well as UP TO MY NECK IN YOU, ROCK AND ROLL DAMNATION.

  • cant forget Gone Shootin. one of the greatest underated songs of all time

  • i think brian does a great job of covering bons songs. some r even better like high voltage, dirty deeds, and tnt. great song

  • Yeah !

    You´re totally right..I mean..I don´t like these guuys who don´t accept that brian is the singer of the band now

  • most of them are still in denial tht bon is gone. i dont blame him, i personally chose bon over brian but without brian we wouldnt have songs like You Shook Me, Back In Black, For Those About To Rock, and Thunderstruck.

  • Definitely worth watching (they rarely ever play material from "Powerage"...), even if the sound is not the best...

  • Hey guys, don´t be so angry. Of course, this one is a real Bon song, but only the fact, that they played it live after all this years really makes me happy.

  • Blasfemi nothing less

  • keep this to yourself or Bon is gonna haunt you!!!!!!

  • I'm glad to hear that they added this to the lineup. Brian did alright on it.

  • shit I hope this next tour... the tickets don't get booked strait away. I'm saving all the money I can get together to watch the first 5 shows in Aus.

  • Angus is my guitar roll model,

    i play in a band and i always do his moves my band just lookes at me funny

  • Angus you crazy fucker!! you're never gonna die!!

    best band EVER

  • This is what hard rock is allll about!

  • This song has got the best line ever 'doin nothin means a lot to me' always loved that.

  • this is there best song to me i love it

  • i thought they did this song with bon on snl

  • I don't think they ever went on SNL until 2000.

  • no just stiff upper lipp with brian

  • This is possibly IMO the best song ever recorded by ACDC!!! It is a shame Bon did not put anything on video.

    LONG LIVE ACDC!!!

  • The solo is one of his best for sure. I think most songs of the Powerage album are some of their best records.

  • I agree! I also liked Fick of the Switch!

  • Nice! Thats a low drum riser.

  • Brian, did a fucking great job. i thought he's voice wouldn't be cut out for this song, but he proved me wrong!!

  • very nice "jonna"...!i've got this one from the live at VH1,but i never see it live,'til now.thanx a lot,lad.

  • This one is way better than VH1!

  • aaa

  • It's great to actually see a video of "Down Payment Blues". Excellent song. Just pity that Bon didn't put out a video.

  • Bon Scott...

    Brian Johnson...

    Love 'em both the same. Two amazing singers for one amazing band.

  • Credit where it's due Brian is an ace vocalist, Try singing his stuff. It's hard for anyone to pull some of Bon's songs off as good as he did, but if Bon was alive today, he couldn't sing B.I.B, Thunderstruck, U Shook Me, etc, as good as Brian can. Coz each singer has their own style. Live with the truth guys & gals, I must say Brian did sing this song very well though, coz it is definiteley a Bon song, just like Thunderstruck, etc are Brian songs.

  • never mind trying to sing brians stuff, I can`t even whistle in the key the guy sing`s (brilliantly) in!

  • Loved Bon's version of this. Brian is ok, but AC/DC weren't the same after Bon's death - his voice was so distinctive. Any one heard Tommy Shaws' version of this? it's ace.

  • Brian's voice is distinctive too

  • WOW, my fav. song played live. first time I've seen it live latley. What a song!! AC/DC are gods.

  • wella, at the end they start playing "the jack", but there are two version of the song released with official albums...one finishes like in the video, with singer's voice (Bon of course), another one with Angus playing a fantastic classic blues riff.

    Brian is a very friendly guy, so far from typical trademarked rockers. He was a groupie of AC/DC before joining them and loved Bon. He never forget to pay him tribute.

    I loved this song and AC/DC energy. On top of the rNr.

  • there is no reason why Brian should not be singing Bon songs,but like Ride on should be done only on or for something special. Ride on is really a Bon song. He did a great job on it....

  • Brian should not be singing Bon songs, He is vocaly challanged.

  • best ACDC song ever

  • Not sure if best song but def best album. Maybe "Gimme a bullet" or "Gone Shootin'" but fuk it they're all brill

  • Brian Did A Good Job In This One :P

  • these brian slaggers off people are just phuckin smoothbrains !! Comprende !!

  • Bon Scott AND Brian Johnson... Two truly outstanding singers.

  • Brian is no BON that is for sure he should not be singing BONS songs....

  • Shut the fuck up bitch

  • I will bitch slap your ass boy your a big talker on the internet

  • best song

  • I got myself a Cadillac

    But I can't afford the gasoline

    Best Lyrics ever!

  • unless brian's voice is really powerful we won't hear guns for hire. but great song

    highway to hell and back in black are concert staples though, they can't be removed.. well, maybe HIH but not BIB

  • i think they should do a tour where they DONT play highway to hell, back in black etc and play more of the stuff like this, cos lets be honest they fading away at the moment and who knows we might never see songs like guns for hire and sin city with brian singing

  • Well they did play Sin City on the SUL tour, I got an mp3 of it if you want.

  • oo! i want to hear that, if you don't mind...

  • hah i never saw them yet and i want to, im only 14

  • i love this song, this is gold!! Thanks a lot!!!

  • anybody know when the next world tour is? anytime soon?

  • the world tour will be when the new album comes out a few months later

  • yeh after they release the album, its also gonna b there last!! man so now theres more preasure to c them! espeically the ypunger fans like me...16! lol, like my dad saw them at my age fro cryin out loud lol!! I GOTTA C THEM!

  • I love it how they tie in the jack to the bluesy outro

    I hope they play some more stuff they havnt done before next tour

  • Amen to that, This is good stuff, thanks for posting it

  • Brian***

  • thanks for the vid its great, i havent seen brain play down payment blues before :D
