AC/DC's Bon Scott Plays the Bagpipes 1976

[tmxmastr]

It's so awesome how the electric guitar and the bagpipes sound a like and could even substitute the sound for each other, I think well be hearing more of the bagpipe sound in more rock and roll bands albums in the near future!

[64bassplayer]

What in theeee hellllll is this??????? I have been an AC/DC fan for over thirty years and then...............I saw this video and my jaw dropped. Lip syncing on a bandstand show with dancers??? If I had seen this back then I would never have bought anything of theirs. No wonder Bon drank himself to death.

[MeteoraXV]

@64bassplayer no shit this happened all the time back then =P

[HUWYsaysHIYA1234]

Rock.In.Piece Bon AC/DC rule

[TheRmancha]

Haha THis Kool!

[dixiedoodleification]

I AM REPORTING U TO YOU TUBE FOR THREATNING ME

[dixiedoodleification]

ask me if I feel threatened??

[dixiedoodleification]

I have not said anything wrong here , So -please mind your own business no profanity just the facts about Bon Scott.

[dixiedoodleification]

Some people are not so smart Bon Scott had one of his teeth knocked right before this video. Maybe if you prople read about AC/DC you may learn something. There will never be another Bon.

[georgeglory1]

Bon Scott born in Kirriemuir Scotland........Angus and Malcolm Young born in Glasgow Scotland..........the clue is in his name.......was nicknamed Bon at school in Oz...short for Bonnie Scotland.......there endeth the lesson

[RockStar123199]

that's kinda weird to have a bagpipe in a rock n roll song

[dixiedoodleification]

@RockStar123199 Obviously you don't know too much about AC/DC. They were one of the most creative heavy metal bandsof their time. And Bon Scott i believe was Scottish and bagpipes come from Scotland.

[999N0t3str34k]

im glad bon died. he deserved it :)

[ClareSparrow]

you UNIMAGINABLE BASTARD freak!!!!!! you DESERVE TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PionierRs01]

@999N0t3str34k fuck you

[dixiedoodleification]

@PionierRs01 Watch your language or I will have your rights to post taken away

[dixiedoodleification]

@dixiedoodleification What is your problem are you trolling or what, you can't threaten to have my rights taken away . I did nothing wrong.

[RockStar123199]

@999N0t3str34k you suck

[DonBrodka1]

With Bon Scott it feels like the real deal. With Brian Johnson it just feels like a tired old rock n roll cliche.

[gtom9]

AC-DC is the best Band from the World.

[BagpiperGermany]

Great stuffB-)

[GLstyle1]

WTF? xD

[buddyredcat1964]

Every hundred years or so, someone comes along and makes bagpipes cool again. In his generation I believe that guy was Bob Scott. The truth is a person doesn't have to get to the top to rock and roll. Lose teeth faster than Bon did doing all your rock and rolling in the gutter. It's a long way to the suburbs if you want to rock and roll

[TheJacobiker]

The man had attitude :) you either got it or you havni

[whiskeyrockaroller96]

Bon was one of a kind

[lucifer73]

Warning! White girls dancing!

[versatilians]

@lucifer73 I love me some sexy 70's chicks!! :D

[lucifer73]

@versatilians Indeed. So do I. I think it was Linda Carter as Wonder Woman who induced my first boner.

[swans1997]

@lucifer73 yeah, love me some white chicks. i ain't complaining.

[Cabalistlbb]

Sloth from the Goonies can play bagpipes really well

[gsanf2]

He wasnt actually playing the bagpipes, it was a recording played through the speakers.

[buster9877]

@gsanf2 still bagpipes played by him

[gsanf2]

@buster9877 Nope. They hired someone to play the bagpipes for them, they recorded it and then bon scott pretended to play the bagpipes while the recording was being played.

[buster9877]

@gsanf2 sureee and where is your evidence to support that? Yeah exactly

[gsanf2]

@buster9877 Read the book "Dirty Deeds" by Mark Evans!

[psycovideos]

@gsanf2 Yeah, it might be right, but at the end... who fuckin' cares? AC/DC it's awesome anyway.

[saywah78]

Favorite acdc song !!

[papajohn1961]

maybe they irish girls lmao

or lucky girls or maybe they gettinglucky later

[gonchito2000]

1:14 its a playback :( whyyyy?!!!!!!! ac dc is the best!

[jenzeppelin]

why are all of the girls wearing green? i wonder if they were told to?

[ReeperTheSeeker]

only Bon could score chicks with a Bagpipe, he was just that manly

[bjtild]

Oh yeah!!!!!!!!

[zorazen2]

Bon Scott -Super Smile.

Bon's Beautiful Bagpipes.

Boppers Dancing.

[Gopher42]

The best combination, EVER.

[ZekeMoffat1]

I was not aware that Rascal could play the bagpipes.

[jduplechin]

Fuckin Angus, man. What a guy.

[KHriss1231]

yeah!! making playback!!

[flexibartr]

ACDC were much more cool and agile and swingign in these days, am I right?

[flexibartr]

@flexibartr But to be true: he isn't playing. But what he ought to play is quite easy.

[GetStuffed88]

Bon Scott was the best.

[robdotcom71]

AC/DC's Bon Scott once played in the Fremantle Scots Pipe Band in western Australia.

Yes he did... but as a fucking drummer!!

Just because you have scottish blood it does not mean you can play those horrible bag pipes.....

[ScreamingMurder89]

Bon Scott is the best!!..a damn legend!!

[thewindthatshakesbar]

Sorry, but he isn't even playing! :/

[robdotcom71]

@thewindthatshakesbar Yep...... miming to the single....

[tgcarr13]

ac/dc went to hell after bon died

[TheForkedtoungue]

Bon is a gift from the dark netherworld, no one sounded as evil as he did. He could sing Dr seusse and make it sound bad ass. Heavy metal bands of today,listen up....growling like a retarded epileptic does not make you sound evil, it makes you sound like every other shitty band out there. How does a guy who was like 5 feet tall and went 120 pounds have bigger balls than every metal band but Slayer?

[Whisperflow]

@TheForkedtoungue because he really did have bigger balls. also notice the lack of eyeliner.. thats the first clue!.. cheers mate and good comment.

[iParatrooper]

I wish I could play my pipes without squeezing the bag. Would make it so much easier. Something is fishy here. haha

[ACDC920605]

@iParatrooper Haha me too, but he was a good bag pipe player for real. But these early tv performances were all pre recorded since they didnt have the technology..

[iParatrooper]

@ACDC920605 I've always heard that he was a drummer in that pipe band.

[sivazh]

Little known fact, the Bon Scott death from vomit choking was a cover up. He actually died from massive anal bleeding from an all night sex romp with a black prostitute and a dildo.

[ACDC920605]

@sivazh fuck off, he couldnt even have made that up himself

[joewo17]

this is the baddest shit i've ever seen

[ritter89]

bagpipes, superman tshirt, trouser bulge and missing teeth=winning combination

[Stormer94]

Thumbsup if you bought a bagpipe because of ACDC.

[0815ina]

GEILES VIDEO; BON UND BAND WAREN EINE EINHEIT; SIE PASSTEN EINFACH SO GUT ZUSAMMEN; SCHADE DAS ES BON NICHT MEHR GIBT ABER SIE HABEN EINEN GUTEN ERSATZ GEFUNDEN; MACHT WEITER SO; I´LOVE YOU ACDC; sILLE 64

[MrGenesisEyes]

Good quality

[acdcjor]

se nota que bon tiene una voz de grabacion encima, manito arriba si estas de acuerdo con bon scott, no al playback

[MrScottyb43]

this is frikking great

[horsenaround]

Only AC/DC could combine bagpipes and rock! Great song!

[Whisperflow]

@horsenaround check out the dropkick murphy's or the real Mckenzies.. they do it better.. but Bon did it first! : )

[Pixeleen2010]

@horsenaround hey buddy. have a look at RED HOT CHILLI PIPERS and see what you think of rock and bagpipes!! you will love it. awesome!

[thewindthatshakesbar]

@horsenaround nope, lol, there's alot of great bands with bagpipes!



[stuhig]

@horsenaround And the Wildhearts - Give the Girl a Gun :)

[Bonzotriplets1]

@horsenaround you don't know much about music then. . . .

[EAC1215]

Love you Bon!

[NiniTheGangsta]

Bon looks goofy as fuck playing the bagpipes. But the dude had talent. R.I.P Bon. You were amazing. Introducing bagpipes to Rock n Roll. Who woulda thunk? <3

[1skunkus]

where in the world would we ever see something like this? angus in the school boy uniform, and Bon playing bag pipes to hard rock. simply brilliant guys.

[IronDraken]

possibly the best inspirational song ever!

[insanitydontlastlong]

its a long way to the top and you made it all the way to it and then some ....absolute favorite tune man

[NASTYMYMAN1]

BON SCOTT so talented, you will always be the voice of AC/DC my friend R.I.P.

[polaris30000]

Bagpipes, the fine line of awsome that lies somewhere between sound and noise.

[lauxsd123]

Bon was cool no matter what he was wearing or playing. great voice and musician.

[slydawg221]

Bon was obviously a very talented man. The bagpipes look like they'd be difficult to play.

[SplitSecondTowing]

i apologize if what im about to say offends anybody, but i just never found brian johnsons conrtibution equal to bon scotts, the youngs are gods in the music world and as such i pay homage to their post bon scott work, and give it its due, but i just cant imagine where they would have been had bon survived....can u imagine "thunderstruck" or for those about to rock with scotts pipes?......

[ClarcGaibeule]

Cornemuse et hard-rock, pas compatible ? Oh que si !..

[electrohippy68]

best rocknroll song ever

[jamrush123]

That night, Bon got laid by the girl he was staring at the whole time he was singing

[brandon9966]

@jamrush123 the camera man? jk.

[20ChampX2]

Do like how the chanter kicked in before the bag was inflated and under his arm....

[TheDidiFerr]

Superman t-shirt! Ahahahaha

[manfromregina]

He's just showin the noobs , how he llikes it.

[liveoilfree]

@mOsherfr3ak69 They're all in their 60's now...

[esubadog]

The only thing live is Bon singing over the regular album track.

Apparently tuning the band to bagpipes and actually getting them to work was a nightmare. Bon finally got some bagpipes that worked well, did one show live with them, set them down on the stage after the song, and then was destroyed by fans.

[powertrust71]

@esubadog they used a tape with the pipes section pre recorded and played it when live.

[meltone942]

bon scott rules!!!!!!!!!!! what a loss!!!!!!

[Jzook2112]

People complain that they had a tape overdubbed doing vocals. They should shut up lol. Had he not mixed up a verse, you wouldnt even know there was a tape. His voice was THAT close to being spot on live. Bon= EPIC

[mhatkins]

Great old video of Bon Scott playing the Ueillean (pronounced I-lay-in) Pipes! I miss Bon. Rest In Peace, Man!!!!

[naturaldude64]

Sings , plays pipes, sings again !! one hell of a man in my book

[scratchymoto]

This is the first time ive heard the original singer, way better than the other guy

[johyle]

@scratchymoto Stop talking about BJ that way.

[di3inglife]

chicks back then were hot

[Celtic450]

@Grantasmagoria Yeah life was tough back then

[skuzzlebutt13]

sure, jethro tull made the flute cool, but these are mother fucking bagpipes!

[oneeyefsh]

@skuzzlebutt13 nothin meant,but an anglo could never understand.

[Mark1Manual]

wow, bon looks like a pirate in this video. it's very easy to imagine him under the jolly roger, plundering ships n stuff.

[sumac64]

Love the longshoreman guns and the nutcrusher jeans. Things were so simple then.

[MrScottybons]

Bon was the man!!

[ElectricOrganBand]

However dislikes this video is infinitely stupid and will probably rot in hell. R.I.P. Bon Scott. FUCK BRIAN JOHNSON AND MUTT LANGE

[eternalvigilance1776]

The chicks are almost as ugly as the guys in the band.....Its a good damn thing that this fucking song is sooooooooo fucking god damn awesome!!!! LOVE the DC...lol.....This is classic rock....500 years from now no body will be listening to the fucking back street boys....BUT....They will this shit right here!!!! LONG LIVE THE GODS OF ROCK!!!!

[metalupyourass9]

Malcom young is by the far the coolest guy in rock n roll

[cbr1000drummer]

You should never dance to rock music..

[xBADxASH138]

nice superman shirt!!!!

[zackduellman88]

This is when music ment something

[joewalker77]

@markc378 nice, a yo mamma joke... what are you like 60? Those jokes died a decade ago, old man.

[evyatarof]

bon scott R.IP

[littleguypup]

At his best ;we miss you Bon

[cheapy2006]

i'll bet Bon had his wicked way with that blonde shakin her ass in front of him later on that evening.

screw Hendrix, screw Morrisson, screw them all, Bon Scott was da shit!!!!

for some reason i have an urge to go to ROME. . . . . .wtf???

[joewalker77]

deepthroat that bagpipe, jeez.

[Wa3ypx]

Thats Jan Freakin Brady!!

[Tarten46]

still missing that tooth...

[Prestostark]

AC/DC was1000% better with Bon...

[cheapy2006]

@Prestostark 100% right!!!! R.I.P. Bon Scott. listening to AC/DC nearly 30 yrs and the intro to Riff Raff on If You Want Blood STILL gives me goosepimples!!!!!!!!!

[TheNightseagull]

Short haired .....long haired....still B.A.D !!

[glamdring999]

1:14 playback mistake

[dintrox]

Bon scott was a ahow man. he died way too young.

[KazzFrehley]

I don't even fucking care if he was not fucking playing! I mean! IT'S FUCKING BON SCOTT! A FUCKING LEGEND! HE WAS SOO COOL! THAT I CAN'T STOP FUCKING SWEARING!

LONG LIVE AC/DC

[wepo59]

It doesn`t matter if this is live or not. It`s Bon ALIVE. And this is the way I would prefer Bon to see - still ALIVE !!!

[ac4tv]

All I have to say is Holy crap!

[Chux0707]

This is clearly not live - thats a big pipe sound from a solo piper. Doesnt matter though - this is the great shame - today we have too much exposure of shit bands and we have not enough great live footage of the legends...

[g1o2r3d4o5n6]

Happy 65th Birthday Bon!

[cosmictimes]

By todays standards this is nafness. But from small acorns mighty oak trees grow. And no mightier Rock tree exists than ACDC

[MrJoshie411]

@cosmictimes classic shall live forever!!!!!!!

[MrJoshie411]

@cosmictimes classic rock shall live forever!!!!!!!

[cosmictimes]

@MrJoshie411 Amen to that. But where is the new generation? These guys can't go on forever. Their music can but they won't

[MrJoshie411]

@cosmictimes i know, and i dont know, there are alot of amazing bands out there today, but none can replace a few of the many god fathers of rock!!!

[6superb9]

@cosmictimes ....well said!!

[cosmictimes]

@6superb9 When the truth is the truth you can't go far wrong

[Rosco22win]

@cosmictimes I hear what your saying mate, but how you come to nafness i'll never know...

[daveycard]

@cosmictimes Bon would have said this was a naff comment

[britgary]

It's not live dickheads

[ConservativeDK]

@britgary it's live just soundboarded... :)

[Bristolbarnesclan]

Loved it. Thanks.

[Fractur3dMirror]

God i fucken love Malcom Young's rhythm section of the band.

[Bombercaferacer]

Classic ACDC the real band lead singer not a pretender

[PlayerTwoHasJoined]

They dont play this live anymore :(

[mjbab73]

@PlayerTwoHasJoined That's a good thing...Brian's great, but only Bon should sing this.

[clumpft]

Fuck man, look at that 70's snatch! Easy, pre-aids lovin' with free-swingin boobed babes, what the fuck happened in the 80's?

[lukemn29]

This was probably the first song of the night, Angus is still fully clothed.

[billaroyamaha2]

skinny little madmen

[seymourbbest]

The greatest fucking thing I ever saw!!!if u don't like it-------- fuck you!!!!

[pixxelrecord]

The Blowpipe is to long ;)

[dWhiteLightningb]

Only Bon Scott could make Bagpipes in a Rock song work

[MrOhjok]

PRICELESS. Gone too soon but never forgotten. In the music you live Bon.

R.I.P.

[11082003andrew]

r.i.p bon long live acdc

[coolbluelights]

I came searching for bagpipe music and found this.. I am not disapointed xD

[Poe397]

I hate to burst everyone's bubble..but...by his own admission, Bon did not, and never has played the Pipes....Sorry.

[DazeWasted09]

@Poe397 Hate to Burst Your Bubble But He Did

[eukodol]

@Poe397 Correction: Before AC/DC he never played bagpipes, which makes it all the more remarkable that he played them so well.

[markkquattro]

great great great great!!!!

how I miss such a kind of rock players

[FabulousFabela]

@210lr210 That wasn't the 80's, this was around 1976/77.

[SplatteredBrainStain]

@RiverBroski thats because mixing the bagpipe would take forever

[DVA5656]

This video defines bad-ass

[RiverBroski]

Yeah he messed up the lyrics and he wasn't playing the bagpipes live (you can tell by the way he's not compressing the bag) but who cares... further solidifies the fact that it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll

[666cc99d]

bon scott was acdc what there is now is a pale imitation of the band playing this brian johnson couldnt fill his boots but thats not his fault and i blame the youngs for that shit they release now! since 1980 not even a good album nevermind a great oneR.I.P BON.

[sedsmal242]

Love Bon Scott even the way that he died!

[igloo3232]

more bagpipe, er, cowbell

[PinHead432]

its just a TV track I highly doubt hes playing that for real  that crisp of a bagpipes sound is super hard nvm "live"

[brutalbrital]

i was at that recording and i can tell you that bon was definately playing bagpipes but there was other piper but bon did the work ok man

[LingonBerry95]

He messed up at 1:17. There was some backup music behind him. I wonder if he was actually playing the bag pipes or faking.

[dickran2142battle]

@LingonBerry95 i thought of that too

but the other band members were singing too

[TATTANO1]

Those were the days good i miss Bon Scott

[AJTbayBE]

That rock but,

I coulda used a little more bagpipe.

[drpepsi23]

why couldn't i be born in this time period i hate the newest time period alll shit with autotune F&*^ that.

AC/DC for life

[nicolassosa92]

EPIC VIDEO, anything can be cooler than Bon Scott in a superman shirt playing bagpipes and a school rocker as Angus :)

[Noodles37UK]

Is this the riff my favorite band The Cult ripped off for Wild Flower ?

[nosecone33]

And people say bagpipes are stupid

[321bunghole]

whats this song call?
