  • love to see a live version??

  • hard to believe shes lonely...but ya- newfound respect..you go girl..rock it up!..sweet cover!!

  • hell yeah! Nice...

  • Not a Norah Jones fan BUT she did the song RESPECT

  • What a nice way to pay respects to the Master. Great Job!

  • WOW! Beauty and great taste.

  • awesome version!!!!

    

  • NORAH so talented so sexy

  • Bon is having a drink and smiling to this one. Different style but it is definitely very good.A very respectful version of a top notch song. By the way, the lead by Angus on the original is so haunting that it is like Bon talking to us!!! RIP Bon, so many of us miss you my brother!!

  • Boooooooring as always Norah Jones, waste of time. ACDC wersion is is much better

  • @TheStonedstone man I don't think she's trying to out ac/dc AC fucking DC. She's paying respect.

  • @TheStonedstone Dude, she likes AC/DC. How can that be bad?

  • Beautiful + Intellegent + Talented = Sexy!

  • Who are any of u who say no one should cover them? Anyone who likes anything should be able to cover it. It is called paying respect. Maybe u shouldn't be allowed to listen. I'm sure acdc respects this take.

  • Love AC/DC. Love this take on a Dirty Deeds classic. Ride on!

  • fuck me this is fantastic, fantastic , fantastic.

  • nice preformance , the voice meet the notes but not the sence of the song - sounds like a groovy country song .... don't like it

  • a FOLK festival-Norah Jones having the BALLS to cover "Ride On"...fuck me people-THE GIRLS GOT RHYTHM;)

  • it would sound good with angus making dirty guitar noise...

  • I think Bon would liked HER. ;) If you know what I'm mean.

  • I think Bon would have liked this

  • hell yeah.....bon scott would be proud!!!!!

  • Hm. The chords sound different to me. Distinctively more cheerful - Ride On sounds like the last few minutes of someone's life, where they reminisce on what they've done right - and what they've done wrong. One of these days, I'm gonna change my evil ways.

    ...One of these days... one of these days...

    ...This sounds more like someone trying to cheer themselves up after a breakup. Not the worst thing in the world at all. Definitely a different interpretation, though.

  • My 2nd post here, the Blues is shared. and there's a flavor here. Good for her. Bon would have done a duet!

  • you eurotrash should give praise to someone who thinks outside the box...Bon would love it...just look at her...

  • Excellent.

    

  • excellent cover,cheers from me....

  • pretty good for me...

    she's not trying to copy ac/dc...

    so it's ok...i guess... ;)

  • I consider it very disrespectful for anyone to even cover an ACDC song, no matter how good it is.

  • @TheDicamillo Art ain't a fixed thing, and it isn't some sacred thing.  I think she did a damned good job.

  • Pretty good! :DD

  • I've always liked Norah Jones. Now I like her even more. Good cover, I appreciate her choice.

  • si hermana, si.

  • this is fuckin nice

  • I never will understand why some people feel they have the right to disrespect anyone who shares their talent with others for their enjoyment.Pretty narrow minded I believe.

  • Sounds just like a nigger!! Bon would have puked and possibly drowned in it

  • it's ok

  • Was sceptical at first, considering this is one of my favourite AC/DC songs but she pulled it off.

  • PRETTY COOL

  • As an AC/DC fan from the old days I gotta say......Bon would kill all you negative bastards in a second to get to sit next to this girl......

  • this was done right . haters? appreciate the tribute to hear it again sung by anyone.

  • I dig it and Bon would too! The snobs on here take life too seriously. Bon would say lighten up and enjoy the ride!!

  • Don't really think the boys have much to worry about, and always nice to hear good music hitting mainstream, rather than the usual insipid crap. If the world has to be educated to some of the finest music on the planet by the likes of Norah singing DC, then let's get busy

  • im a huge acdc fan. i have it tattooed on me. i like this.

  • Norah has such a sexy voice and is such a great musician, she can sing anything any time..

  • It's hard when you symbolize this song with Bon Scott,, but Norah is so brilliant that she pulls it off.

  • I'm not familiar with Norah but how cool is it that she's at a folk festival singing AC/DC. I think AC would have gotten a kick out of this...nice job Norah.

  • well done

  • This blows. But I like Norah.

  • Love it ... WTG Norah... :)

  • think it's a cool turn dawgs, bitch can sing!

  • Pourquoi pas !

  • I absolutely love AC/DC and think she's done a great job.

  • only 2 points here : 1 - Bon would appreciate the respect 2 - Bon would ride it.

  • I am a huge Bon Scott fan, and i have to say, at first i wasn't thrilled....but for a girl like her to cover one of the greatest blues songs ever written offers some great respect to Bon.  I would like to see Clapton cover it!

  • What a great cover!, Bon must be smiling from the highway to hell

  • ive never heard anyone cover this song, i guess its ok. she does a decent job, but, it aint no bon scott and angus young!!!

  • This is really bad!

  • A fantastic, fantastic cover of a classic Bon Scott era AC/DC tune!

  • I prefer Bon's singing, but I'd rather look at Norah.

  • dude this is really good!

  • There sure are a lot of closed minded immature a-holes on here, this is a great cover and I am positive Bon would have loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • as long as they carry on on the music that is cool and keep that x faxctor shit as far away from us as possible is allright with me

  • just a pain in the ass - no one can reach bon - nora, ride on and fuck off!

  • Thanks Norah for covering the best band ever, and the most beautiful song ever written.

  • norah jones covering acdc is like acdc covering andre rui

  • Wow. They're music translates very well into her style.

  • Two of my favorite artists mixed together. couldn't get any better.

  • Thanks for showing us: No one can reach Bon ! ;)

  • Beschämend was mit einer solch legendären Musik heute angerichtet wird, um ein paar €/Dollar zu verdienen! Absolut unwürdig und für mich als AC/DC-Fan einfach unglaublich, sowas sollte man verbieten, GEMA wo bleibst du :D

    MfG.

  • I hate haters. Chill. This is good.

  • Nothing better than playing and singing a song that blows your hair back. Credit given for her diverse taste and willingness to express it in public.

  • lets burn her

    

  • This is like Taylor Swift doing a Def Leppard song....it just doesn't work. There's no tension, no rebellion, no punch. You could call this the "suzy creamcheese" version.

  • nice one.god bless bonn

  • Oh yeah, Norah! More chicks should be like her! She (and her band) did a good job here. These "dislikers" probably never have gotten laid. Emos that still have AC/DC posters on their walls (so did I, but I was a teen then), sweating playing Angry Birds, and waiting for mom to cook dinner. Skateboarding and using words like "rad" every now and then.

  • Love to have the real video with this.

  • F-N Bon Scott Amen. This mother fucker sings. Don't you know.. He can never be bested. Brian Johnson ani't got shit on him! Let me love you Bon. Let me feel you sin.

    I wanna hear you scream, I wanna hear you cry. Ride On Ride on one of these days I'm gonna change my evil ways..... one of these days. F-Kna

  • F-N Bon Scott Amen.

  • I've gone through over 20 pages of comments just to read how you people are flameing this poor woman...... give it up already! Bon would have aprecated this! It's not the best cover I have ever heard but I will say she didn't do half bad. I've been playing music most of my life and I would NEVER attempt this great song. I take my hat off to her. So GROW UP all you haters! :P

  • right on m8

    (excuse the stupid joke)

  • @Guitarman5150 Bon Laid down the groundwork but anyone who attempts this cover better have alot of experience and nuts of steel.She's trying and sounds REALLY good. Up to par.....NO WAY.My blues singer sings it in his own style twice as good and knows it would be a sacriledge to release it.And he's right

  • Comment removed

  • @Guitarman5150 DUDE!!!!!! This is Bon's anthem...."you dont tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you dont mess around with ole Lone Ranger," and you DON'T COVER BON!! Sorry to be a snob, but this just ain't right.

  • @SandmanTMB Hey at least you have some good taste in music you know Jim Croce. Yes, you are being a bit snobbish. Like I said it's not the best I've ever heard but it's not the worst either. All a matter of taste I guess........

  • @Guitarman5150 Have you heard Shania Twain doing "You Shook Me?"

  • @SandmanTMB Everyone covers Bon, Sandman.

  • @Guitarman5150 We are not not haters. She just truly butchered a great song of Mr.Scott. He died for us! THIS IS THE TANKS HE GETS???

  • @Tryoutz747 THANKS*

  • @Guitarman5150 sorry i can´t write so good in English.....but what i can say is....i´m on your side....i think Bon would be proud of this cover....lovely voice!!!!

  • I say screw the naysayers. It was an awesome choice of covers and she knocked it out of the park. (and I'm a huge AC/DC fan)

  • Saying that a band or a solo musician should be pissed of because someone does a cover of their song is a total nonsense . Think of it. If one musician loves other band's song so much that he does a cover of it - that's an accomplishment for the band who's song he is covering. He could do his own original song and instead choses to cover a song. That's a big plus for the original band.

  • a+ cover, i was expecting to start laughing but this is actually very good...

  • hell it got my footz a tappin'.WTF????

  • Ride On!!!

  • I've been a huge AC/DC fan since the late 1970's, and I really like and appreciate that she would do a cover of one of Bon's best songs. I don't understand all the negative comments. She also makes it her own--not an imitation.

  • Amazing. Be even better if she rolled straight into Jailbreak :)

  • This song was not meant to be all hip like she makes it sound..

  • gr8 cover of a horribly underated lyricist boogie on bon!

  • everybody who likes AC/DC is a fan of great music and this is really a good sound!

  • not the best but that's OK,the lady does allot of other stuff really well..plus she's real easy on the eyes,

  • die

  • What a pain with you people, you're always hating on everything...

  • @EDVM13 haters gonna hate...

  • NOT FUCKING BAD! WOW! Very different sound, but I love when a band takes a song, and pays it's respect with their own sound.

  • Very good.

  • This is really cool! Good for her man. This song is fucking awesome. I don't think this is better than the original - I mean it's fucking BON - but dude, good for her!

  • Not bad. I wonder how many people in the audience knows who the hell sung this in the first place... I bet they'd drop their chardonnays the second they all found out! (I would have liked to hear her sing this as slow as the original, with her smokey voice and all, but oh well...)

  • There are so many things Norah does musically, so many covers she does by the widest selection of music acts it is possible to imagine. This woman is not in music to make money, she is in music to push herself to the limit and because she enjoys playing music. Norah is commendable for that, she is also one of the greatest talents around from the last decade or so. Norah, we salute you.

  • I love "Ride On" by AC / DC, but this version with the Sweet Norah Jones, wow! NO WORDS ..

  • Hell, this is a cool version of a classic AC/DC tune - LOVE IT! Is it on any album or in any studio version?

  • yeah thats pretty good actually, now lets check out that celine dion cover, thats bound to be awesome....

  • mehhhh im more of a rocker i gave it a try though, shes hot as fuck

  • Not as bad as i was expecting

  • I think it's as beautiful as she is... I'm a huge AC/DC fan, rock, jazz, blues, heavy metal, death metal, folk... every bit of good music makes my day... the edge of jazz and blues she brings to an already blues rock song is perfect. Hope many young good artist remember Bon and the guys for being so awesome and relevant. Thumbs Up!!!!

  • milk it baby, like it, but if ya gonna be soul, milk it, drag it, try it again ,

  • I love it :) and i'm a very huge AC/DC fan! Don't be so inhibited....

  • Nice cover.

    Hey, if you lay this version over the original record you'll see that there's a huge harmony between Bon's and her voice. Try it out! xD

  • horrid....angus needs to drop a Hell's BEll on this bitch

  • pretty girl

  • I am sur Bon would have loved her for singing this

  • This is not bad. You can listen to William Shatners' version of Bohemian Rhapsody and hear what a cover song gone wrong sounds like.. Yes indeed, this ain't tooo bad at all.LOL

  • nice cover --- an original touch to it --- i am just shocked that she even knew the song existed ---- it shows she has good taste in music and wouldnt immediately be put off by doing an (gasp!) ac/dc cover, at one of those birkenstock wearing/ granola type concerts ---

  • Cover sucks but she would be great to ride on..

  • Great fucking cover.

  • I say nice job! She`s obviously a talent. And if you`re too fucking stupid to realise that when a song is covered, its a tribute to its greatness, then go back to your cave. I LOVE acdc!!!!....but if I only had three chords of heavy riffs to listen to for the rest of my days, it would be sad. Enjoy the genious of acdc and particularly Bon in a different context!

  • its ok doesnt have the balls or the passion of Bons rendition and kinda goes limp at the end

  • This sucks period.

  • What's this shit, country rock? Ride on and fuck off!

  • @jasonjupp You'd be surprised at how many country licks Angus incorporates into his solos. AC/DC are true legends and this is fine cover.

  • C'mon, It's fine. I mean, isn't marvelous but it's ok. I like this version even when I'm a huge fan of AC/DC and most of Bon Scott.

  • She's great just that she needs that Angelic voice the sing in when they say "Ride On"

  • Did anyone realize how many times old blues classics be covered???????????

    it is the story not a band or person

    anyone who know bout music would never talk shit like

    "best" bad" ................ start to play and sing MotherF***ers

  • OOO Fock man , WTF . Go to hell motherfucker is the shit the version

  • She sounds good. Never heard of her before so will check her out. Bon was a genius

  • Great and little different version of this AC/DC classic , I like it !

  • one word: profanation.

  • She ruined it, but I don't care, I'm sure AC/DC never heard of her name anyway.

  • whats that sound i hear? oh never mind its just Bon turning in his grave

  • I dig it but think she could do better, she has an amazing voice but not very good lyrics. This song is done too fast and without much feeling. She needs to slow it down and whale on the lyrics like I know she could. Sing it like you are on a snow covered frozen lake with nothing around for miles and sing it like your life depended on it. I like it when some of the newer artists pay respect to the masters.

  • she kills it,,all you lil fag boys quit hating onher,,fuckkkkkkkkkkk,,bon is lookin down flattered as fuck!!!!!!!!!!RIP Bon Scott,..love love

  • Nice one! Bon would be feel honored!

  • not bad.

    

  • Sounds like shit!

  • when someone from another genre does a cover of a song that says alot for that song and artist,kudos

  • @Campermanist ...great info...Bon was a true man...of a million generations...

  • i think she´s got a beautiful voice ......but the instrumental part is just.........i mean its just.....TO GAY!!!!!! THIS VERSION NEED MORE ROCK N ROLL!!!!!!

  • She jams pretty well as I think tjhat the guys that did this are open minded people and she does Bon Scott Justice here!!!!

  • Bon's smiling@rocknroll heaven

  • A classic song by a classy lady. "GREAT JOB"!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I think its a good cover....it isni AC/DC....but at least she's tryin...

  • Wait there she took a classic and performed it!!! whats the problem at least she has respect!! if u lot got a problem get over to the RHCP takin the piss out of their version of BACK IN BLACK AND SUPPORT ME!!!

  • Not so good!

  • f%#ck off dit is heiligschennis

  • you should open your mind a little bit guys.... it sounds awesome, and its a "cover", its supposed to be different...

  • The drummed killed this cover - my opinion...

  • Oh come on!!! I'm a huge AC/DC fan, and I must say that this sounds good. I don't think it would piss Angus and the guys off if they heard it either.

  • @electrokinesis thats right......

  • @electrokinesis thats right...... I think good ol' "BON" would be very gratuitous

  • As a self-professed music connoisseur,I respect the fact she had enough balls and/or respect to record such a classic rock anthem!

  • i LOVE nora, but she realy chopped this to shreads! yikes!

  • You all are being a little too hard on her. Sure she didn't try to be Bon reincarnated, but I think it speaks of her edgyness to select and play this song. Give her some credit for not just putting out what her record company Execs want. Can you imagine their reaction? "You can't play that. It doesn't cater to your core market" Right on Nora for having the balls to step outside your confort zone. I'm a huge ACDC fan for many years, but I can surely appreciate this cover in this era of music.

  • @supernaught1963 ONE thing, DAMN MAN give the girl credit, she likes BON SCOTT! what more of a cool chick would man want??? That is everything in a woman. Likeing or even knowing one of the greatest song writers that ever lived. Gotta take your hat to her for that, she isn't even from the same geberation is she?

  • I like Norah, but this sucks some serious ass. But I don't think Bon would have any problem with her doing it, if you know what I mean. :-)

    RIP Bon and Isa.

  • This is like having my ears stabbed with ice picks and I was thankful so I didn't have to listen anymore!

  • Usualy she doesn't ruin a good song...! But this #*1§@$¤! realy sucks, sorry to say it!

  • marcoatkaos , get A life and let go of the phallus. corn kernal

  • Oh look, a whole herd of trolls fighting amongst themselves.... She has far more talent then ANY of you will EVER have, so STFU

  • Oh Jesus - NO!

    No soul, no blues, no magic...

    ...just nothing!

    You can´t do that to Bon!!!

  • Playscharvel, kill yourself.

  • 666 nora is a HYPED up piece of shit and YOU ARE A LEMMING. NUF SAID. BYTHE WAY, CHUCK COULD KICK YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS ASS ...BITCH.

  • 666 nora is a HYPED up piece of shit and YOU ARE A LEMMING. NUF SAID.
