tHE MUSIC WE LOVE, THE REASONS WE DO

Struck by Thunder?! FIRST TIME DIVE Brian Johnson and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” Live at River Plate

Our patrons always bring me the best music. This time, for my first time ever, I’ll be listening to the legendary AC/DC in a live performance that is incredibly massive. I hear Brian Johnson has a lot of differences between him and Bon Scott, whom I plan to hear soon, and even then. . . AC/DC’s sound is so legendary I’m bound to make it a part of my normal listening repertoire. Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to AC/DC for the first time, performing “Thunderstruck” Live at River Plate.

“You probably know this but Brian Johnson replaced Bon Scott after Bon’s death. Bon had a similarly unique voice. It’s actually quite interesting how similar they are in some respects. . It would be interesting for you to compare the two. Also, Angus has been doing the skipping and jumping since very early on. There is a very early video with Bon Scott as lead singer of “It’s a long way to the top” on Youtube. If you’ve not seen it I recommend that you do to see what the band was like very early on. There’s also a good video interview of Brian Johnson in which he talks about his audition for the band after Bon’s death.“

“This was a great song to pop your AC/DC cherry to, but I really recommend you listen to the earlier incarnation of the band with Bon Scott upfront. While capable of standing toe to toe with Brian Johnson for sheer energy, Bon had a bluesy blend of larrikinism, energy, and soul that was his alone. Check out TNT, Whole Lotta Rosie, Jailbreak, Big Balls, The Jack, and, Let There Be Rock, just to get started“
