  • The interviewer doesn't know Rush?? wtf is he doing beeing a journalist?

  • The interviewer is a moron; by November of 1977 Rush was an international touring act headlining their "A Farewell to Kings" Tour.

  • omg he sounds like that. I've never realized

  • Rush, Kiss and AC/DC are all great rock bands. Very different but great!!!

  • kiss is nothing but cartoon rock, their music blows

  • Comment removed

  • @hulkwillsmash48 Kiss's first 8 albums are classics. There's a time to read War and Peace and there's a time to read comic books. Comics are more fun.

  • You're all gonna kill me for saying this, but AC/DC was punk rock compared to KISS. It's ironic that Highway to Hell and Never Mind the Bollocks came out the same year. They were both deeply irreverent fuck off records and both not American. Bon said KISS were a spectacular, but not good.

  • Yeah, Carl.....I love it.

  • 1977 and they don't know Rush? at least the interviewer?

    The bass player from KISS....Carl? hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

  • LMAO!! I love how Bon is totally taking the piss out of the guy interviewing him! That's too cool! Thx 4 the post but I wish there was more to it.

  • Bon was thinking "Damn this guy is a complete idiot!"...and kept testing him....lol

  • @debgibsonfan not at all, that's one of Bon Scott's good friends interviewing him, Ian Molly Meldrum, host of a music show here in Australia called Countdown, who actually funded a couple of video clips for AC/DC in the early days, Jailbreak being one of them, so no Bon wasn't thinking who's this idiot at all, they were very good friends!

  • @beano1eye

    Friend or not....we all have "friends" that are idiots from time to time about things....and you have to admit Ian was being one!

  • @debgibsonfan true he was, but I was just pointing out that Bon didn't have any disdain towards him, most interviewers are there to do their job and that's it, but Bon and him would associate with each other a lot in Melbourne, Australia, until Bon's unfortunate death!

  • Comment removed

  • @beano1eye

    That's cool....I doubt Bon had a disdaining bone in his body anyway......love him....rock on!

  • hahaha gene who?

  • whys it cut off their for fuck's sake!?

  • Rush is definitely more talented than any of the other bands that are relevant in this video. Nay-sayers should perhaps increase their sense of hearing.

  • @c0rnp0p5 Rush is definatley more "talented" when it comes to playmanship, but "rock" wise ac/dc, especially early ac/dc, just blew them out of the water....

  • @c0rnp0p5 I get your point. I think they are more grounded as individuals, and less influenced by the 'Limelight'...but the Young family has talent, even big brother George!

  • The greatest frontman I have ever seen.

  • lmao coz Bon is getting well pissed off with the interviewer because he doesnt know shit about rock bands - then Bon mentions the rock band UFO and the guy hasnt a clue so he says' you know UFO' and is laughing at the guy - in the old days UFO also meant you fuck off - to round it off Bon is scratching his lip with his middle finger and the interviewer still doesnt get it that Bon thinks he is a dumb prick

    Peace

  • bon scott is shitfaced haha

  • yessss!!! "glasgow....my music bowl" that a boy bon!!! never fergot his roots, always be a legend.

  • @1984LizardKing he's talking about the Sidney Myer Music Bowl - Melbourne, Australia, Greater Scotland.

  • @mistersmith6000 oh well fuck it lol, greater scotland? lol

  • How did he die?

  • @enos218 Alcohol poisoning.

  • @enos218 He choked with his own vomit, due to alcohol abuse.

  • how about the compllete interview?

  • Imagine Bon and Ace out on the drink together. Total carnage

  • I love how Bon Scott talks just like how he sings....

  • @DoctorWho1983 yeeeeah I noticed that too *.*

  • AC/DC and UFO? That must of been awesome!

  • @southerndeth I saw Bon with AC/DC and UFO at Massey Hall in Toronto in '76 or '77. UFO was the headliner but I forgot them but never forgot AC/DC and Angus playing while going off stage and then appearing next to us on the balcony. Blew me and my bandmates away as no one we knew had cordless guitars back then!

  • @MrSpooky118 Thanks for sharring.

  • Great Bon, very ironic, it was amazing how Bon could deal with the interviewers with simplicity but also with great presence and humor.

  • Bon Scott had such a terrible voice that he was actually a great rock & roll singer! I know it sounds strange, but I mean it as a compliment!

  • Rest in peace Bon

  • Bon Scott Rest In Paradise

  • My two favorite bands (besides Nirvana), could've toured together... Mother of God...

  • JUST BON NOT GIVING A SHIT ABOUT KNOWING GENE SIMMONS NAME SHOWS HOW REALLY COOL THIS GUY WAS.........

  • He's a popular guy (Gene Simmons). We just can't remember his name. LOL

  • Bon Scott. Kiss RUSH UFH, wow.

  • @duckilover I meant UFO oops...

  • Hahaha, Bon Scott not remembering Gene Simmons' name, that's hilarious considering what a total self-absorbed arrogant jerk Simmons is.

  • @Mrbillsfan11 lol, Gene probably seen this and cried for days

  • @Mrbillsfan11 oh what!? I didn't know... But, remember maybe kiss weren't so famous back then. The interviewer didn't even know about the Rush! and In what way was he arrogant and self-absorbed?

  • @Mrbillsfan11 Ha ha, the interviewer didn't know either. He didn't sound very interested in who Simmons was. "I don't know." Ha ha!

  • Well, I met Gene once and he couldn't have been nicer.

  • I can't believe the comparisons here. Kiss is no more like Rush than Rush is like AC/DC. Kiss tried to be original, you can't fault them for that, they were a fun band! AC/DC had their own distinctive original sound and could rock just as hard as anyone. Rush goes untouched as far as skill and musicanship and their ability to pull off songs onstage inspite of limitations. I don't compare, I've enjoyed them all.

  • I don't think that time (if it been given the chance) would have been kind to Bon. Cheers and RIP, pal. You were a shooting star.

  • The biggest contrast between AC/DC and KISS is that AC/DC played music for the love of it, true unadulterated hard Aussie rock. KISS dressed up like women and would probably sell their souls for a dollar, given the opportunity. I admire their success but in terms of musicianship they're not a spec of dust on AC/DC's arse as far as I'm concerned.

  • C'mon, this interviewer is a moron. By November 1977 Rush was already an international headlining act in the middle of their "A Farewell to Kings" Tour.

  • Bon Scott is a funny guy! Good stuff, thx for the upload.

  • R.I.P

    

  • lol....what's the Bass Players name from KISS? Come on..tell me...what's his name?? ahhahahah

  • JAAAAILLLLLL-BREAK!!

  • @MrChrisastin you're right, the other guy was wrong. Rush isn't the 3rd bestselling band. They are however, ranked 3rd (behind the Beatles and The Rolling Stones) for most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums.

  • @Lerxstmaniac Kiss has been awarded 28 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band. The band has sold more than 40 million albums in the United States, of which 20 million have been certified by the RIAA and their worldwide sales exceeds 100 million albums

  • @spidey5959 Okay, why are you telling me this? I'm a pretty big Kiss fan. I'm not bashing on kiss I was just clarifying what the other guy said...

  • @spidey5959 Back in Black sold that alone.

  • When he talks he reminds me of lemmy killmister almost

  • i grew up on Bon Scott AC/DC

    what's his face with his nuts in a vice can take a flying wank

  • Brian Johnson took this band where bon could not.. fact: back in black is their best and most selling album. they didnt sell all them records because people felt bad for this guy..

  • @E5C4P377 dude what are u talking about bon scott died. believe me ac\dc would still be where they have always have been , one of the best rock and roll bands of all time with bon scott. i think your comment is a ??? it just dont make sense. but here is a fact malcom young is the leader of the band he orchestrated it all.

  • @E5C4P377 Well, that's true. Brian Johnson made ACDC a pop rock band. But, Kesha is pop, does that make her music good? I don't know if you know this but some of the greatest rock and roll bands have never had a number one hit. Led Zeppelin for example. Does that make them a crap band? Your logic is flawed and you are young and inexperienced. Bon Scott was the voice of ACDC. An actual singer. Not a screecher.

  • @hueseph

    you mean THE Led Zeppelin that flat out STOLE just about every song they did on the first four albums....even Stairway to Heaven ??

  • @joboarder10 Grasping for straws now aren't we? You want to include The Rolling Stones, The Animals and any number of other British Invasion bands that made their career by covering blues bands? Oh yeah. Let's not forget The Beatles. Point is Brian Johnson is a screecher. He doesn't sing. Back in Black was the only album he did that was even worth more than a superficial listen. Everything after that was mediocre at best.

  • @joboarder10 Stole ? Are you serious ? Except for some text and the riff of the intro to Dazed Going to California, nothing has been plagiarized, the other (STH, WLL, Black Dog, Moby dick'riff, Communication breakdown, Black Mountain side), it comes from inspiration.

  • i saw rush (hemispheres tour), ufo -strangers in the night in chicago, kiss and ac dc with bon scott 5 separate times.. was i a lucky kid or what?!?!?

  • i don`t know the name of the bassist of kiss eather LOL

  • @magicthunder666 Gene Simmons... Lol.

  • Love this guy's voice

  • Hey Bon, his names Gene Simmons... (maybe just a little late for someone to tell him, huh?)

  • Anyone notice Bon giving the interviewer the middle finger???

  • Kiss, AC/DC, Rush, and UFO. What a bill.

  • @RotnRoll77 UFO where assholes to Rush therefore I hate them........

  • @adiosdeadman oh gawd, get a grip. Geddy and da boyz were on friendly terms with them. It was all good natured fun. you rush fans act like it's some high art level class band or something. I liked them a lot too, but i still make fun of them. How could one not. The albums were laugh out loud funny, especially the earlier ones. 2112, Farewell To Kings? HA HA Gweddy's papa smurf on helium voice.

  • @swans1997 I am not a fan of geddys voice it sounds like a cat running out the door w/ a blow tourch up it's ass lol

  • @adiosdeadman Yeah, i remember hearing RUSH for the first time in the late seventies. took a long time to be able to tolerate his voice, but I eventually turned on to it, thought they had some good tunes. Signals and Moving Pictures are decent.My best friend from the school days and I would hold Rush up in high regard for talent as well as ridicule."It's got wires that vibrate" with that voice, HA HA that line would always have us going.

  • @adiosdeadman I can picture the Brain's Sidekick Pinky doing that voice. He'd be perfect.

  • @swans1997 LMAO

  • Poor Bon, he looks exhausted in that intereview. Anyone know how long after this was shot that he passed away. AC/DC to me has always been Bon. Brian has done a very nice job over the decades, but he still could never replace Bon.

  • AC/DC, Rush, UFO, and Kiss....and then there was light

  • if you start talkin dead great bands, i can start naming them but i can think of 3 lead singers, 5 guitarists, 3 drummers and A bass man!!!!

  • Okay, I've seen a lot of video of Bon, but here... dude and Hugh Jackman could be brothers.

  • @matsellah Biopic anyone????????????

    

  • bon scott's ac dc is the only ac dc thats good.

  • That's Molly Meldrum interviewing Bon , obviously done before his death in 1980, but it's not a huge surprise that they don't know Gene's name or about Rush coz the western world was overwhelmed with fantastic bands and original music. Mainstream newspapers pretty much ignored pop music and obviously no internet was available , so not knowing the real names of Kiss who claimed to be trying to remain anonymous anyway with all the makeup/costumes is understandable.

  • bon was joking with the interveiwer, anyone can see that..

  • the guy never heard of Rush..when was this interview done?? miss Bon  he was great i love Brian, he's a crazy dude, buti think if i had to choose, i would favor Bon ...

  • wauw I had no idea he sounded like this when he spoke. Bon Scott was the man

  • ahahahahaha those were the good days - when no one knew gene simmons name!

  • a fuckin god

  • Well, AC DC and Rush are very humble. That would be unique. I would love to see Alex (who'd my ultimate, favorite guitarist) jam with Ace. Most people at my school make a ridicule out of me for prefering Alex. Why? We all know why.... I'm not going to say it.... Point being, AC DC and when Bon was alive, Rush, are very modest. That's an understatement from my observations... I hope this doesn't cause any trouble...

  • @daidi0121 How do people at your school even know what you're talking about?

  • @Ryu12543 Everyone at school are racist towards Canadians....

  • @daidi0121 Well I meant how would they even know anything about Rush or ACDC? When I went to school, everyone listened to mainstream garbage. Canada produces some of the best entertainment though. I used to joke about Canada, but then I realized they have Rush, Trailer Park Boys, and their technical death metal scene is ahead of everyone else, but now I'm just thinking out loud.

  • @Ryu12543 "Tech'nical Death Metal", "Math Rock". Todays Hipster's terms for "Progressive Rock" Wonder what it'll be next go round.

  • @swans1997 I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not saying technical death metal is another word for progressive rock. It's not even that specific. There are much more complicated genres. Though they don't really mean much, it's just an easy way to find bands of similar sounds.

  • @Ryu12543 When I see the labels "Math Rock or Technical Death Metal(LMAO) I just think , "nerds". 

  • @swans1997 Well metalheads usually are nerds, I accept that. Take bands like Autopsy and Allegaeon for example, they clearly have completely different sounds. You don't call all books just "books" or all movies just "movies". They have different genres, and genres within them.

  • @Ryu12543 Yeah, you're nineteen, I'm 43. Back in the eighties we underground metal heads usually went to the same shows. Mercyful Fate fans went to Slayer shows and likewise. There was some anal-ists then, too. It all started from the same area. Nowadays you got more genres with their own sub-genre's subgengres. Never was much for "scenes". I liked my Roxy Music as well as Venom. I just called it music to listen too.

  • @swans1997 Don't know what I'm talking about, ha ha. I'm referring to all these arty, complicated virtuosos (think they are) nerds. Back in the old days it was "Art Rock". The labels today are more anal and funnier.

  • @daidi0121

    "Everyone at school are racist towards Canadians...."

    Must not be a very good school as Canadians are not a race of people.

  • @daidi0121 I would love to see Alex jam with Ace Frehley... Bon Scott on vocals. I meant that in my statement.

  • AC/DC & Rush together?! That woulda been killer to see!

  • @perrystraughter They played the Sars concert in Toronto together, along with the stones. Still would have been cool to see them in the 70s

  • Gene Simmons=FKING OVERRATED

    Bon Scott=BLOODY LEGEND

  • wowww... possibly the only person dead or alive who doesnt know who Gene Simmons is..

  • I saw AC/DC on the Highway to Hell tour with Bon Scott in Glasgow. They turned up late, played a 45 minute set, and didn't do an encore. I'm sure they were getting booed as they didn't return to the stage. The most disappointing gig I ever went to.

  • Too bad he died. AC/DC fuckin' sucks now.

  • @SuperRedwing09

    NICE MANNER'S BABE!.....

  • @sandran7121 death to hillbillies...LOl

  • @SuperRedwing09

    A...Mind is a terrible thing to waste.And Smoking the Leaf on Your Caaainnnaidddiiaaan Flag doesn't help matters....LMAO

  • AWESOME! bon scott is so cool he doesnt even need to know gene simmons name hahaha

  • yes absolutely they never were taken seriously because they don't know how to play they're instruments.Yes more intelligent groups that you mention have been known for their musical tastes and background in blues,etc like AC/DC they know how to put on a show that is pure rock energy and they still can rock even today they blow kiss off stage!

  • Holy shit that interviewer's barely awake, thats the funniest interview Ive seen for ages. If bon scot ever had a look of disgust that was it. Jeez im gonna have to watch that again...

  • He never heard of RUSH! You will my friend...you will.

  • Plz guys if you gonna get piss drunk don't sleep on your back!! always sleep on the side okay 

  • @thugangel662 while that is a good idea to sleep on your side , from angus`s mouth in a interview he said he actually froze to death and not from vomitting

  • Comment removed

  • @thugangel662 Amen Brother!

  • Bon Scott, the real deal

  • This guy was the real AC/DC. Younger people today don't know this cat. He was a true rock savage.

  • @Pleaver Not true, ever Ac/DC fan knows this cat!

  • @Pleaver you say he's a true rock savage but you call him a cat wtf! lol

  • @Pleaver Bon was the best of the best. But the follow up tribute album Back in Black was and is one of the best hard rock records ever and the fact that they made that album after loosing him is mind boggling. Brian may not be on the level of Bon but his vocals on Back in Black are monumental considering who he was following. Bon definately had the most savage, gutteral and full on ballsy voice ever. Brian is a great guy but the fact is I only watch Live Bon videos here.

  • @Pleaver Man no shit! Well put - a true savage & tough as nails to say the least. His ERA is the only AC/DC I know. Amazing how Jimi, Jancie, Jim Morrison, Kurt & Bonzo keep us wondering, "what if they we're alive today?"

  • @Riff28Raff

    Plus, don't forget, AC/DC was a ROCK N ROLL BAND while Kiss was a corporate enterprise set up by a couple of dooshebags who wanted to whore out as fast, and as widely, as possible in order to maximize profits.

  • @ROOKTABULA You got KISSOLOGY! down to a social science, act crazy, set stuff on fire and blow stuff up! And spit a lot of fake blood and back it up with some minimal talented music playing and that is Kiss for ya, but I do like that track "I Love It Loud" thats a good tune for what it stands! AC/DC was just a great straight up hard rock band that will be timeless forever!

  • @FunkMastaMegaFlex Agree AC/DC would those clowns in KISS off stage anytime.In fact when was the last time Kiss putout an album 1970 what?

  • @SuperRedwing09 They did actually release one in the 80s of original work and even I will admit it had a few good tracks like that one I mentioned earleir was on it. Kiss 2 me has always been great for laughs and not 2 really take seriously. Its easy, mostly because their are so many other great bands from that time period like Bad Company, King Crimson, The Doors, Judas Priest, The Cure, The Who, ok that is almost like 2 generations but you know what I mean.

  • @ROOKTABULA So true..LOL you know it dude

  • @riff28raff

    Most of rush's albums have gone platinum, they have 10 in the US and others in Canada and UK

  • AC/DC played with Rush? That woulda been a sweet show

  • @mikebeange No, AC/DC, Rush and....KISS.....wow! Today, that ticket would be $1,000.00. LOL!

  • @pretoshohmoofc yea and the show would be HALF as good as it woulda been back then. I can only imagine the kinda energy they woulda had

  • @pretoshohmoofc

    In large part due to $immon$ and $tanley.

  • @Riff28Raff Not the third best-selling band, but Rush is in third in terms of the number of straight (i.e. uninterrupted) streak of gold records, behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones

  • @clydevanzant Thats what i was trying to convey, i just worded it wrong my bad.. It goes The Beatles.. Elvis Presley,,Michael Jackson..top artists of all time..Thanks for the comment,you put it in the contex i meant to..So that said,,sorry i wrote it wrong my bad..Can i ever be forgiven,,Lol..Peace and godbless you:):)

  • and UFO!!!

  • Wow, RUSH was unknown to this putz interviewer...

  • The only reason kiss made it big was because of their costumes and make up cause they really suck musically.

  • @Ampifier1994 there an average band with some really good hits. but overall it was their glam that caught attention.

  • @Ampifier1994 The only best thing about KISS was Ace and Peter.

  • Kiss Sucks!

  • @wasy35 Another Justin Bieber fan

  • @wasy35 you know it fags wearing lipstick and make up how screwed up is that? yet some of these homo's are calling people that are critical of kiss fags fuck look no further than their kiss wearing make,lipstick etc all kinds of perverted shit..lol you are so right they do suck

  • If is wasn't for KISS, AC/DC would not be where they are today.

  • @thereaper91 AC/DC might have made it on their own, but it was certainly KISS that took them out on the road with them when AC/DC were stuggling to make it.

  • 3 year after he die...R.I.P

  • WHY DON'T YOU STICK TO CHEWING YOUR SHITTY KISS BUBBLE YOU LIL FUCKING HOMOSEXUAL,1LISTEN BITCH ITS LIKE THIS WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT KISS YOU FUCKING RETARD KISS IS THE 70'S GET OVER IT MAMMO 8369 WHAT EVER THE FUCK YOU CALL YOURSELF

  • @SuperRedwing09 get a life pal they are from different parts of the world

  • @bsheridan1000 I wish you'd get a life pal go fuck yourself you fuck dummy

  • I like how there was 666,631 views....WE'RE on the Highway To Hell \m/

  • ac/dc rush-both great fuckin bands-difft music, why fight over who's better? what's the point. true music lovers like all kinds of music period

  • @1234roadking1 I do like all kinds of music.every thing from Bach to Sepeltura.. I dont want to fight thats why i was not being mean to him,, i was polite..He jumped all over me. i even said have a merry xmas and have a nice weekend. I'm not angry..i just dont see the point to argue. He was the one who got all upity.I guess i hit a nerve..Can anyone say they like to be written to in a condescending way?I think not,,peace and hope you and yours are all doing fine..I truly mean that..

  • Am I the only one that noticed at 1:18 he flips him the bird?

  • The interviewer isnt very good. Theres certain things you do to get people to talk and one of them is to actually be interested in what they are saying.

  • The bass player's name from Kiss is BIG FUCKING DOOOSHBAGMORON.

    If you're not careful, he will copyright your penis and sell it to a vagina.

  • if you put the top selling bands in order it goes ,the beatles,,the stones,,rush...if any one is wondering?i meant the band yes is like rush in the way they write a album that's a story,,a concept album...peace out

  • @mdelair420 Yes is a big influence on Rush actually..good call.

  • @Jethromcsheepherder thanks alot my fellow rock fan.peace and hope you and yours are all doing well.

  • @mdelair420 Thanks, same to you. PS. Check out Rick Jeffery "I'm Old, You're young"...good stuff.

  • @Jethromcsheepherder your 40 it says on your page..im 41 in feb so im not that young.but ill check him out...her's one for you to check out,,..a song called parents by budgie..a great trio band.listen to tony bourges killer guitar solo.burke shellys bass and his wild voice..i own every budgie album..im a music fanatic..look at my favs..peace out and thanks alot.

  • @mdelair420 if you put top selling bands together ??? dude rush are NO WHERE on that list...rush sold 40 million albums world wide, there are 150 bands who sold more. kiss sold over 100 million.. fuck dude you need a history lesson on music...you got the beatles correct, next would be the BEE GEE's, then queen, zepplin, stones, pink floyd and so on....add another 100 bands and then there is rush....what r u like 12 ?

  • Comment removed

  • @mdelair420 you need a history lesson. and by you giving 4 responses shows my comment got to you. spice girls also played big venues, does that make them good as well ? out side of america rush are little known. they barley sold over 40 million albums while kiss sold well over 100 million. good music doesnt have to be TECHNICAL to play, the most popular songs of all time a 3 chord songs. kiss helped rush get a start by allowing rush to open for them..

  • @mdelair420 again you make no sense..do you know how many albums kiss has ?? kiss have 30 gold records, rush has 24. rush have been around longer than kiss but sold less ?? kiss and other acts have toured just as much, and done #1 selling tours

  • @mammo8369 It's all good..I really dont care.One question did you go to that post i asked you about?Take it easy..peace..
