RIP Malcolm.

I never managed to see AC/DC with the great Bon Scott, but I did see them at Monsters of Rock in the eighties with the cannon on stage. A great band and a great rythm guitarist.

Sad day. I wasn't a huge fan of the genre, but I admire their competence. It's way too young to go.

I was lucky enough to see AC/DC with both Bon Scott (Hammersmith Apollo 1979, I was at Knebworth to see Led Zeppelin the same year) and Brian Johnson (Wembley 1982).

Phenomenal band, with so much energy and stage presence.

I don't remember too much about the Wembley gig due to the amount of Lebanese I'd smoked that day !!

I'll be at next year's Bonfest, Mark Evans will be there.

I never got to see Bon.

he'd been suffering from Dementia for some time so it may have been a relief both for him and his family.

I'm going to say no, probably not. I've got a friend who in his fifties who is dying of dementia, and his family are fighting (in a good way) to keep him alive. His wife and kids (my friend's, that is) are not going to feel relief when he dies. I suspect I will, on their behalf - but I don't love him.

Vale Malcolm.

My mum was in her late 50s when we discovered she had a form of dementia . It was a relief when she went into care home , and i felt a massive relief when she died. It is different for each person .

As much as I dislike Brian Johnson as lead singer (I'll give him one album and one song since) he seems a decent bloke. ACDC are now well beyond their sell by date, and have been for a while. The Youngs are daffodils. Talented daffodils but still daffodils. And they know they have never been the same since Bon. More a tribute band, but not as good as many other tribute bands.

I just saw this and have to pull you up about it, Marmion. AC/DC are a show, people love going to their show, the band love performing that show and it pays the bills not just for themselves but for many, many others as well. It's a way of life, I would not stop supporting a soccer club because they replaced a player. And WTF is daffodils? Old people? Are you as awsome as you were 20 years ago? I am and then some but it's getting way harder to get laid or even ride up hills, aint gonna stop me trying, though.
Rant over, as you were!

Daffodils is how cyclechat censors the impolite word for lady parts that the British use so freely.

Ahhh, I see! Ta, I guess I'm a daffodil too!

Just to prove what a brilliant rock singer Brian Johnson is, here he is in a previous band,Geordie prior to joining AC/DC, apparently Bon Scott suggested that should he need to be replaced, Brian was that replacement.
