AC/DC's lead
singer Bon Scott possessed the filthiest, most-guttural,
blues/rock voice that ever growled from a human throat.
That voice was a perfect complement to the kinetic
bursts of raw energy that emanated from Angus Young's
lead guitar. To see some of their early
performances is to witness pure, primordial Rock
and Roll. As with Blues, Heavy Metal is at its
best with simple chords and riffs that are elevated by
passionate, unbridled performance. When Bon Scott
left this world with the Rock and Roll cliché of
"aspirated on his own vomit" he was replaced by the
quite astounding Brian Johnson who took AC/DC to the
heights of popularity with their comeback album "Back
and Black" being the third biggest seller in Rock
history. But, man oh man, there will never be
another BON. - Todd
