1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. Forty years ago today,

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Bond Scott passed away forty I remember finding out when

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: he died.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: What an icon though that his legacy is as strong

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: today as ever.

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Brian Johnson from a CDC always looked like

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: the new guy in the band, even though the time

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: he spent in the band eclipsed the time that Bond spent.

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: But I've read a lot of books. There's some great

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: books about ACDC. There was one that was Mick wall

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Ray that was pretty good. But did you know at

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: the time when bon Scott died, the young brothers were

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: investigated about.

14
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: His death such wet how were they implicate?

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: Were just there was a lot of questions that were

16
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: being flung around. There was like conspiracy theories.

17
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: But if he was found dead in a car, how

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 2: could they have Well, there was a few theories.

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: There was one that he had been taking heroin and

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: he didn't want the guys to know, and he was

21
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: worried he was going to get sacked from the.

22
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: Band because they were running it by then like a

23
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: real business.

24
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: ACDC at that time were one of the biggest bands

25
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: on the planet. I don't really believe that that was

26
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: the case to do with conspiracy theories.

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: But according to those theories, how did they bring about

28
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: his demise He was in a car.

29
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: There's no answer to that. What one theory though, was

30
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: that he was on the outer with the band and

31
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson was already in the wings. But then in

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: another book, Brian Johnson was a vacuum cleaner, a Jordy

33
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: vacuum cleaner salesman, and he gets a call and they said,

34
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: they want you to come into audition for this band,

35
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: and he goes which band, and they said, I don't know, mate,

36
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: just go along. So he just thinks he's going to

37
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: go on for this audition and he walks in and

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: it's ac DC.

39
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 2: But they must have known that he was a great singer.

40
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: They wouldn't say, Hey, are there any vacuum cleaner salesman

41
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: who'd liked to come and join our band.

42
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Bon Scott was good mates with Brian Johnson, so he

43
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: actually introduced him to the band. The other thing about

44
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: that was Bond Scott died today in nineteen eighty Back

45
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: in Black that album was out seven weeks later, and

46
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: that's probably the biggest album they've ever had.

47
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: But those conspiracy there is just talk to really how

48
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: tumultuous the time was in terms of the band then,

49
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: rather than his death, if you know what I mean.

50
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: They are just about the state of mind of them

51
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: all and that maybe he was on the outer and

52
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: all of that.

53
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Well, he was one of the biggest rock stars on

54
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: the planet at that time and you forget all that

55
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: and ACDC were huge. Now they've just broken. You talk

56
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: about tenacity, ACDC are probably the most tenacious band in

57
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: the world. They left Australia, they went to England, so

58
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: they left their fan base Australia, went to England and

59
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: started all over again. Then when they were in England,

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: they came back to Australia wherever and had forgotten them.

61
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: And then they went to America and they went through

62
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: it again. They were just totally and you look at

63
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: all the other bands from Colleges or the Angels in excess,

64
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: all those bands could have done that, you know, they

65
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: could have done what ACDC did.

66
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: But ACDC, as you've said too, they ran it like

67
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: a business. Yeah, and maybe that didn't suit Bond's personality either,

68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: But that's part of the reason they've been so is

69
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: that they were driven.

70
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Am didn't say that happened to hush, did you? Oh cush?

71
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: Of course.

72
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 2: I remember with coush shush, just someone pouncing around sort

73
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: of looking like wearing a nappy on countdown or was that?

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Molly Milton joined the and Amanda in the Morning One

75
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: at one point seven
