  • Bon could probably sing country if you wanted him to. Knew Bon sounded good. Didn't know he could sing that good.

  • If Youtube did not exist, we would not be enjoying stuff like this!!! Thanks for posting this!!

  • hard to picture rough and rowdy bon, playing in a proggy outfit, ha ha. not bad though.

  • due to the epic beard/hair/flute combo, Bon reminds me of a Narnian Faun here.

  • What a beard

  • I have had this single back to about 1971 and didn't realize it was Bon Scott I always thought he had a great voice but this is tops

  • Comment removed

  • ainda bem que ele foi pro ac dc 

  • @MrViniacdc indeed.

  • Goes to show if you pick your area of choice and expertise...you could be remembered or forgotten..Bon did the latter....pipes, bongs, trips, mushrooms....don't matter he had the VOICE from rockin roll hidden inside him. Crashed his motorbike, roadie for a new glam/rock band, give me a crack fellas , that guys soft as a...1 bottle of scotch, 1 bottle of vodka, 1 joint and a sniff of speed and I'm ready boys.."High Voltage Rockin roll"!!!!

  • Blackfeathers version is much more superior,perhaps not really Bons style at the time.

  • @gypsydog24 Did you know that it's Bon playing the recorder on the Blackfeather version.

  • hi seems like an elf

  • WE SALUTE YOU, BON SCOTT!!!

  • holy crap, Bon traded his pan flute for a water bong! \m/ \m/

  • Bon sounds a bit like Steve Perry here

  • @ter50 hahaha absolutely!!! =D

  • Burlpark333 well said

  • Meu Deus é o Bon o barbudo?

    Descance em paz, Bon.

  • Wow! Bon had not a clue where his life would end up. Lesson to us all, never give up. Who copied this group or Jethro Tull?

  • 2:39 I was like  "IS THAT A BONG?" Rip Bon Scott Rock in peace

  • Comment removed

  • so how come the drummer wasnt beard friendly???

  • WELL WRITTEN PIECE!!!!!

  • REAL TALENT !!!! Love it

  • This song shows you just how versatile Bon Scott was,& not just a screamer, he was also a musician, not just a singer

  • Forgot to mention that Bon used to live around the corner from me in Adelaide and regularly drank at the Reepham Hotel Prospect, a quick minute walk away from his home.

  • Hey, the memories. I saw Fraternity live at my school social event in Adelaide 1972, soon after they won the Hoadleys Battle of the Sounds". They were great so I went and bought their album (and my first album) "Flaming Galah" which I still have and in great nick! Live on Bon!

  • Bon (lord of the rings) scott, that gotay is"precious"!

  • How the Hell did he go from Hillbilly to heart throb? Man. He must have switched from really Good Pot to Jack And Coke-(caine)

  • @High5Brah I found Rush through that I Love You, Man movie! Hahaha! :D

  • holy shit bon with an amish beard go bon lol

  • Happy Birthsday Bon! july 9 2011

  • Happy Birthday, Bon. Rock In Peace.

    19/02/1980

    je t'aime ronald belford scott....à plus tard

  • BON SCOTT BABY! the one and only. There will never be one like him again.

  • @BGo93 well, you know, "Its a long way to the top, if you wanna rock n roll"

  •  la propia semilla de acdc,,,,,

  • @doctorbasslayer Don't get up just yet. As soon as you can spell again, you can get up.

  • Comment removed

  • I remember this song when I was a kid. I did not know that Bon Scott was the singer.

    All these years have gone by & I just found out. hahahah On ya Bon its a great tune..

  • lol fuckbon would make good bushranger lol

  • seen Fraternity so long ago in a dingy club called Benjis in Perth..

  • good band back in the days can still remember seeing them ...

  • OMG I remeber seeing them well all that time ago still a good song....

  • If you notice there are 2 Gibson's SG's here.

    One bass and one guitar.

    I guess now we know why Angus likes SG's so much.LOL

  • RIP!!!This made me cry...because of bon's death.....

  • I used to see Bonn Scott with Fraternity at my local pub back in the 70's.... you should check out here in youtube clips of Bon Scott with the bubblegum group The Valentines to see the progression of his musical career. .... I love this song!!

  • shortly after recording this he converted that wind instrument into a WATERPIPE!!

  • Naughty!!! :-P

  • I love it

    

  • what an amazing voice! he left us far to soon!

  • Bon Scott is juz amazing!!!!!!! love it !!!

  • huuuuaaaa ooooo man... que hippie hijo de mil puta!!!!!...

    menos mal que la banda se fue a Londres y terminaron pagando caro el precio por no seguir una dirección clara!! Si no Bon, seguramente no hubiera llegado a conocer a los hermanos Young; y hoy no tendríamos acdc!..

  • To the comment below. You obviously don't know a good singing voice when you hear it then?

  • Some of the most boring music I've ever heard.

  • WTF, Bon?! :D Love ya man!

  • MAN !!!! Where the FUCK did you find this. BON doing seasons. I'd heard he played recorder or something with Blackfeather but didn't know this vid existed. THANX FOR POSTING. LEGENDARY.

  • Epic beards.

  • One of the most beautiful voices he had just bon Scott

  • Bon on recorder........loll,,great even then!

  • i love bon scott and acdc... but i had no idea he could play the flute..lol

  • Vraiment différent de The Valentines et AC/DC,c'est bien de voir Bon sous un autre coté tous aussi talentueux † R.I.P Bon † 19.02.1980

  • bon scott N°1,N°1,N°1,N°1,N°1...........­.

  • Fire the cannon.

  • Rest in peace, Bon, you are missed...

  • Hard to believe Chewy would go on the do Dirty Deeds, LOL!

  • Bon's look reminds me of watching a show like "Against The Wind" in the Seventies ... about convicts. How different does this Legend look compared to his "wildness" in AC/DC's clips? Loved seeing & hearing it though. Thanks so much boccca2 for posting this legendary stuff for all of us to enjoy : ) Bon really could sing but hey, we all knew that already hey fellow Bon fans/addicts?!

  • whooo BON! what a voice

  • Hm, he looks hawt

  • Nice beard. Seriously though, Bon Scott is the man....but only with AC/DC

  • Bon...I feel u in my soul

  • PHIL COLLINS!!

  • Jigen Daisuke with a killer voice!

  • Bons voice is great on this. Thank you for posting it. I had never seen this before.

  • Bon (the Geico caveman) can sing!!!...bigtime!!!

  • BON SCOTT. Eine unglaublich stimme. Er starb als legende und lebt so weiter.

  • Wow. Bon in this compared to any of his AC/DC videos are night and day!

  • stunning...a milestone i'd say!!

  • Holy shit!!.... Its Mr Tumnus!

  • is that the guy from fleet foxes?

  • see now you cant believe he can sing??? shows what kind of band ac/dc was I like them but always new paul stanley and axl rose could sing

  • Bon The rock and roll singer

  • Awesome to find this, years ago someone borrowed my Fraternity CD and never returned it.

  • What a trip. Great voice. 

  • I can't stop listening to this tune.... Bon had the vocals of a god!

  • No wonder I like AC/DC so much. They had the best front man EVER!

  • Bons attempt at being a hippy

  • Go Bon, mountain man.

  • Totally wow, I never knew!

  • I love you Bon...

  • Beards of Change?

  • Huge bong hit at 2:50

  • @Egoguitar1

    with you on that one

    have a smokey christmas

  • @Egoguitar1 lmao

  • what year was this written in

  • BON SCOTT : SO good to hear this again...

  • AC/DC should of broken up after Bon's death. Cuz they suck and have since he passed away.

    R.I.P. Bon

  • AC/DC was a HORRIBLE misuse of this man's talent.

  • @TabascoKitten I wouldn't say that. I'd say AC/DC was a perfect example of how wide the spectrum of Bon's talent really stretched. He could make thought provoking music, with the kind of singing to go along with it, while also making sexual songs. He was a true lyrical genius.

  • @Bobofjudia Don't misunderstand me. I liked his stuff with AC/DC. I think he was a terrific rock 'n' roll singer.

    I also think he was clearly more though, a lot more. It's in that sense that I say AC/DC was a misuse of his talent. I just saw this video for the first time a few weeks ago and I was shocked. I found myself wondering how it was that things went so horribly wrong for him. He seemed like a nice guy.

    Did his association with AC;/DC ultimately kill him as someone suggested?

  • @TabascoKitten Perhaps. Regardless of the rumor that his wife left him because of "She's Got Balls", it was actually him joining AC/DC that made her leave him. If you're one of the people that believe he committed suicide, this may have lead to his death. By the way, if this surprises you, you should really check out "Carey Gully". His voice is amazing in that.

  • @Bobofjudia Carey Gully is amazing! Thanks for the tip. Wow.

    I don't know if his death was a suicide. But, I think something was clearly wrong with him at the end. I can see that in his last appearance.

    My overall impression of him is that he was depressed, lonely and exhausted.

  • @TabascoKitten I sometimes think that too. If he was, we wasn't very vocal about it. In his own words, "You can't make excuses to an audience." That was just his philosophy on preforming.

    If you listen to the interviews on vaults, there's some interviews where his voice sounds extremely worn out, and raspy, however, he says some of the most inspiring things I've ever heard. I suggest you check those out too, if you haven't already.

  • @Bobofjudia In my female view, he's a perfect example of the trouble some men can get into when they don't have a good woman to tame them. That may sound silly or even offensive, but I believe it. (I'm a woman) He never should have divorced his wife. Although I liked his work with AC/DC that was not the environment he needed, imo. I think he would have been terrific in musical theatre...would loved to have seen him in Jesus Christ Superstar.

    Where can I find the interviews?

  • @TabascoKitten just look up hidden interviews on volts.

    And for the record, his wife left him.

  • @Bobofjudia That's very unfortunate...about his wife. I didn't know him of course, but he seemed like a sweet guy. He had charisma, mega sex appeal and a lot of talent. Truly one of a kind. Very sad.

    Now I need some kind of a happy pill.

  • @TabascoKitten I've read quite a bit about Scott's life both before and during his time with ACDC and from what I can gather he was a far more complicated, intelligent and sensitive person than his stage persona let on. I think Bon was in a similar position as Cobain towards the end of his life in that he was at odds with his public persona (which was always very playful and tongue in cheek). He even expressed a desire to settle down with a single partner (to friends and relatives)

  • @ritter89 I read somewhere that both of the Young brothers were getting married or planning on getting married. I think Scott even went to one of their weddings just prior to his death. If true this would have been extremely depressing for a lonely older guy. I also heard that he had been diagnosed with liver problems as a result of the heavy drinking. Imagine standing there watching two people get married and thinking about that.

  • @TabascoKitten We think alike :-). Although Bon's time w/ ACDC was definitely well spent, the nature of that genre (hard blues-based rock) prevents full exploration of musical chops. His considerable skills on percussive and wind instruments were never utilized (save the bagpipes) and his vocals were limited to raspy falsetto. Scott was also quite a bit older than the rest of the band (close to 33). Personally, I only listen to Bon Scott era ACDC--even though I was just a kid at the time

  • @ritter89 I never cared for AC/DC post post Bon Scott either.

    You know, it's funny seeing 33 as the "older guy". That definitely doesn't seem old to me now :) That seems young and it was young. Way too young to die.

  • @ritter89 Perhaps Bon Scott realized that it was better to make a final curtain call at 33 than end up looking like AC/DC now.

    I'm sorry but...these guys need to pack it in and put on the tweed. Brian Johnson especially. He looks like an aged taxi driver. That flabby gut with those spindly arms is a far cry from a young and toned Bon Scott. They look absurd. My god.

  • @TabascoKitten , I agree with you, ritter89 and Bobofijudia. You really know what you're talking about. Check out Bon singing Jupiter's Landscape, another Fraternity song, absolutely stunning vocals.

  • what year is this

  • Great,sounds a lot like Genesis

  • astonishing!! 

  • Woahhhhhh he had a beard

  • Great Voice

  • Wow, this sounds similar to John Frusciante's solo stuff (The Will To Death era).

  • Comment removed

  • bon scott as phil collins in disguise^^

  • GRANDIOSO!!!!

  • Still sends goosebumps down my spine. Just love all the woodwind. Why don't we get songs and performances like this now instead of all that American twangy, nasally note stuff

  • This song is better than anything he's ever done in AC/DC

  • @cheifguggletram you re a crazy!

  • @JusticieroBurning I don't like AC/DC. Their 3 chord cock rock doesn't interest me anymore. It's simplistic. I used to love it when I was 16, but I grew out of it.

  • @cheifguggletram Maybe it's simplistic, but they're still rockin the world after 37 years and I like that. I'm living for AC/DC

  • stoned music. bon found home with acdc.

  • wow what a song and such an amazing voice

  • Ha! Awesome.

    I'll admit I'm really not a fan of ACDC, but anytime I see footage of Bon out the front of ACDC I just go "woah...." - great frontman

    As a non-fan, I can say without a doubt that while Brian is an ok singer, he could never truly replace Bon. And personally, I find all the post-Bon records totally suck - there's no raw energy.

  • NO!! say its not so Bon! no one ever really saw this right? lol

  • Wowie...that's a change from The Valentines...all dressed down ,and nowhere to go ?

    We here in Holland also had a deluge of these kind of bands in the early 7T's.

    All beardy....Pomp ▼

  • bons voice is awesome. this song is pretty decent too

  • HOLY CRAP ITS PAUL BUNYON!!!!!!

  • awesome

  • I've watched this several times over the years. I'm not sure how the timeline works out, but it really seems to me like this might have been a led zeppelin wannabe band. Bon finally found his own way, in a sense, with AC/DC. 

  • @tmotleygoldstein Sounds more like Pink Floyd or something out of Roxy Music. Led Zeppelin . . . not so much.

  • fucks sake...

  • Christ Almighty Bon was such a good singer. Even "fill me up buttercup." Long Live old AC/DC. Dirty deeds and a done dirt cheap oooohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

  • Bon Scott was , is , and will be the best vocalist of the world

  • Whats with Bon and being in bands had a guitarist with a Gibson SG? The Valentines, Fraternity, and of course AC/DC.

  • bon had an amazing voice

    he was great in the rock scene

    but i think his voice sounds better on tracks like this

    and (love song) by AC/DC

  • Cool song. First time I've heard of Fraternity. I like Bon's voice too.

  • before this vid i could not ever imagine Bon wit a beard, first time i saw dis it was too much to comprehend

  • This is a damn good song. Pink Floyd + AC/DC maybe? Interesting shit.

  • It's nice that Bon Scott had a diverse career. It really is a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.

  • Muito massa!!

  • Muito massa!!!!

  • Bon Scott, you're a god, even if you look like chewbacca on this vid

  • @praetorianus72 more like a hillbilly

  • @praetorianus72

    i laugh when i saw this comment

  • @praetorianus72 hahah, thats too funny! he was going through depression and had to pay the bills once The Valentines imploded with the drug scandal.

    you can see though as the front of AC/DC he was at his best.

  • @praetorianus72 totaly right... on both points xD

  • "And now we're going to take our brush and paint some lovely clouds over these mountains that just pop out. Right there. And maybe a few more over here and just let the brush do it's magic as it goes over these clouds over here. Oh! And lookit what we got here, this nice spot, let's paint a sun right over all of it..."

  • awesome vid friend i actually have all of bons old stuff b4 AC/DC it is different but i respect it cause every performer starts out one way or another and fraternity and the valentines among others was bons he was a true gem and hes still very missed

  • Bon was a far more versatile singer than he was ever given credit for - this is great proof

  • @smilingbutt It's true. I've been saying the same thing for years. In many ways, ACDC never utilized the full range of his voice due to the genre (rock). He must have had a great ear. He was one of the few popular vocalist from that period who could scream/shout in key. Not many singers can do that, at least not well. Cobain, Morrison, Plant (in his younger yrs), Joplin (sometimes) and only a few others could compete with Bon in terms of live vocals

  • John Bissett ex Action very trippy boys

  • Completely counters his AC/DC image, hilarious! - like a real-life Spinal Tap! Not meant as a put down, though, Bon Scott and AC/DC are rock n roll legends.

  • Love it ! Prog Scott !

  • He had much emotion when he sang. This is very far from the ac/dc stuff but its great.

  • thats old tyme

  • this is actually good music the groove at 1.50 is wonderful. This song, canyon suites and you have a good but listening to them fels like listnening to Scott's funeral, but then... I'll just put on the Highway to hell and roll If you want blood:)
