I would like to hear some songs from the austrialian edition of High Voltage… songs like You Ain't Got A Hold On Me or Soul Stripper. Tony Currenti's drumming is one of the many highlights from the album.

There's only one thing that can be considered a highlight of that album...

 

Love Song.

Baby, Please Don't Go and Soul Stripper are the outstanding tracks on that album IMHO.

My post was oozing with sarcasm - I thought that was obvious since I said Love Song was the standout track :lol:

 

I dunno, I mean High Voltage is okay, but nothing on it really wow's me. She's Got Balls, Soul Stripper, and Stick Around are the highlights for me, but none of those are the caliber of any of the Bon material starting with TNT.

I'd like to hear Stiff Upper Lip or Big Gun. Do they ever play these two?

Who knows last ACDC show I saw was Thinderstruck tour. I mean do they still have the levitating column for Angus to solo on?

Yeah - he goes out to the end of the catwalk where the elevator is, then he finishes his solo on a riser behind the stage.

This was a column inthe middle of the audience that came up with Angus soloing on top at NEC in Birmingham.

Of course, they are already playing Riff Raff, but the other 7 suggestions are all good.

(7) 8 Bon Scott-era songs AC/DC should play live with Axl Rose in front

 

AC/DC caused quite a stir in Prague the other week when they played Touch Too Much for the first time in 35 years, apparently at the behest of their new temporary (for how long, still not sure) singer, Axl Rose. Yep, Axl Rose, he of fellow old-but-not-as-old-as-Accadacca band, Guns n’ Roses.

Now that Axl Rose is singing for AC/DC, does this open up a plethora of Bon Scott-era classics the band might play? Here are a few we definitely think they should.

Rose is replacing Brian Johnson in rather uncertain and unclean circumstances – Johnson was dumped pretty unceremoniously by AC/DC earlier this year. It strikes parallels with how Johnson came into AC/DC, though it fortunately has a better ending: AC/DC’s singer before Johnson, Bon Scott, died in the backseat of a car after choking on his vomit in his sleep.

Johnson’s first album with Accadacca just so happened to be Back In Black, which was released mere months after Scott died. Given that set of events, it wasn’t surprising that Johnson was coy about singing Scott’s songs, especially the late frontman’s signature songLong Way to the Top.

Now that Rose is to Johnson what Johnson was to Scott, it’ll be interesting to see what old songs come out from Bon Scott-era AC/DC. Whereas Johnson’s songs were good humoured odes to having a fun time, Scott’s malevolent and misanthropic lyrics gave his rasp a scarier edge.

So, for more reasons than one, these are very interesting times. What better way to celebrate excitement than with a list?

Long Way To The Top – T.N.T (1975)

Brian Johnson didn’t like singing this song, because he felt it was his predecessor’s signature song. After all, Bon Scott played the bagpipes on this track.

 

 

Live Wire – T.N.T (1975)

They apparently used to open with this song, and for good reason.

 

 

Jailbreak – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap(1976)

This song wasn’t released until 1984 in America, proving again the suits in the music industry don’t know what’s good (until everyone else does).

 

 

Squealer  – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap(1976)

They’ve never played Squealer live ever according to setlist.fm, and with its horrible lyrics it’s probably unlikely to ever happen. Still, musically, a great song.

 

 

Ain’t No Fun (Waiting To Be A Millionaire) – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976)

Bon Scott ain’t wrong. Quite lengthy, actually at 7:31, but it’s a slow burner that ends really red-hot.

 

 

Problem Child – Let There Be Rock (1977)

This is Angus Young in a bottle, from theme right down to the incomprehensibly loose but simple three chord riff.

 

 

Riff Raff – Powerage (1978)

Very understated. One of Slash’s favourite songs. Funnily enough, Axl Rose was playing this with Guns N Roses during the Chinese Democracy tour.

 

 

Down Payment Blues – Powerage (1978)

Young people in the 70s had money issues, too.
