Bon Scott 07.09.46-02.19.80 Rock in Peace \m/
« on: February 19, 2012, 03:13:26 PM »
The world of rock lost one of its most fiery front men ever 32 years ago today. Following his passing, AC/DC's career was miraculously saved by two hugely serendipitous factors:

1) They found Brian Johnson who proved to be a beyond-capable replacement

2) He sounded ridiculously similar to Bon and thus helped the band avoid suffering the all-too-common misfortune of replacing their original singer with one who sounds quite different (Van Halen probably being the most striking example.)

Regardless, the man was a menacing presence onstage and a fine example of what any "man's man" rock band should strive to have in a lead singer and the fact that he only got 33 years on this earth is a tragedy of great magnitude.


We'll miss you Bon \m/

3) In his honor, they released one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Oops, I meant one of the greatest albums of all time.

The best voice of rock. A true legend, who lived hard and sadly died young. R.I.P.
