, it’s hard to find an AC/DC fan who doesn’t yearn with all their heart to hear Bon sing them instead."I wish I had a copy of that tape," sighs Buzz Bidstrup. He’d known Scott since the early ’70s in Adelaide. His band, the Angels, opened for AC/DC on their triumphant return tour of 1980 with Johnson out front.
Scott’s famously missing notebooks of lyrics-in-progress were never much further from his hand, according to countless biographies, than the grog that killed him on the cold London night of February 19, 1980. The apparent fact that his flat was ransacked a few days later can only fan the flames of conspiracy.
Fink doesn’t buy it. "AC/DC fans can hear Bon on that album," he says. "The lyrics took a major nosedive in quality on subsequent albums and have never come close to matching anything from the Bon era. That tells you everything you need to know … Trust your ears." That said, given 40 years of hindsight, it’s fair to reflect on some uncomfortable truths about the culture and content thatGiven The Dog a Bone, Maz DeVita of Waax audibly shudders.
Martin Kennedy from All India Radio: "I despised Bon Scott’s AC/DC as a kid because all the local bullies and sharpies were into them and I was fresh meat for them. [] came along at just the right time, at an age when most of those people had drifted away and I was old enough not to worry about it as much."s triumph is about uber-disciplined sound production and playing. "The most complex yet simple, intelligent yet dumb album I own," says the Living End’s Chris Cheney.
