Ronald Bons Scott other inspiration was none other than he's own Scott's man the fabulous (Alex Harvey band) straight out of Glasgow true Scott's man 🤘

I did not know that. I always loved this song.

@@mulaakpenny9672 bon was three when he came from scotland. he knew shit about scotland. he wouldnt even have remembered the cunt of a place

@@benburndred2226 love it when these clowns in the UK try to claim AC/DC as their own. The world knows they always have been and always will be an Australian band!. It's just old school Aussie rock'n'roll

Why are they all so short and angry?

A very young Malcolm Young played the rhythm guitar parts on the record ... I played with Stevie briefly in the 80s , he was a mess but I got some great yarns from him

Do you know if stevie wright was the lead singer for the easybeats from the time that they started the band until they broke up in.1969....if he was replaced who took over the sing and why. What happened between Stevie wright and dick diamond. They said that they had hard filling for each other. Do you know if George young also had a form of dementia or Alzheimer's towards the end of his life. Was Malcolm young the only one with the illness. I hope that they are resting in peace together. I feel bad for their families. To lose one is sad, but to but to lose them both only one month a part. I just can only imagine the heart aches. Prayers for them all. 😢😢

A lot of similarities between him and Bon...

By design, he was Bon's hero and Bon modeled his stage persona on Stevie@@ericskinner7355

If it were not for his welĺ known heroin addiction, he would have replaced Bon. Nobody is perfect. Doesnt matter how good you are, its what you do with what you have that matters.

Peter Fernance & if you listen & look close at this clip , jpy

It's impossible not to compare the vocalizing of 'I don't like trouble, but if trouble's the name of your game' with 'he made it out...with a bullet in his back' - 'jailbreak'. Can almost imagine its the same voice ;) RIP Stevie & Bon.

🙏

@@alistairogilvy7696 agree mate

Yes, I was just thinking how much alike those two were, on stage.

Well his heroine addiction then spending some years in Chelmsford having brain fried sort of put paid to that sadly

And the late, great Ronnie Peel on Bass!

Yeah that's a pretty damn good band.

@@sadzsadzy5897 Rockwell t james

Absolutely stunning lineup 👍👍👍👍🎸🤗😁

Ian Winter also on guitar!

He sure did, his original band The Easybeats had the Vandas in it, George Young (brother of Malcolm and Angus AC/DC) and Harry Vanda, check out The Easybeats

He was a prolific lyricist/songwriter. He and George Young wrote 99% of the Easy's early material. In England a record producer said his writing was not good enough and it sent him on a downward drug spiral from which he never recovered. When the Easys folded he ended up in his early 20's back in Sydney broke, and having to work in a mens wear shop to make a living. He had a come back and a national No.1 hit with Evie parts 1, 2, & 3, a 10 minute monster hit written for him by former Easys Vanda and Young. Stevie would have been the perfect replacement for Bon Scott in ACDC, but his drug problems had taken hold.

@@blueycarlton agree mate ..he would of been perfect . mind you Brian is ace

@@anthony342 Dont reckon Angus and Malcom wanted a Heroin addict so they said no.

@@richardmulcaire3087 I agree with you that stevie wright was a great performer and song writer. But if he had been in acdc. We would not have heard of the song evie or any of his solo music.. and that would have been a shame. He just had to much talent to be not heard. When he went to get help for his drugs adction the rehabilitation center left him worst then I if he had just quit . They gave him electronic shock and deep sleep for days. He had to jump out of a window to get away from the doctors at that place. He was left with brain damage after that.. he was also a diabetic and didn't know it. His life story was very sad one.

And their little front man was a true bloody legend

@@freakybeaky1 do you have a link by any chance please mate?

@@freakybeaky1 not a problem. Thank you for taking the time to reply 😊

I couldnt agree more with this statement.

Vanda, Young Stevie Wright are Oz rock royalty. Cant half hear their influences more than this classic. ACDC and Bon Scott. Georges influence on Malcolm and Angus. All in ACDC are Easybeats reincarnated.

Stevie was back in rehab when it was released & couldn't promote it or go on tour with it is what george young & co believed why it never took off ..

Why didn't they wait until Stevie got out of rehab to promote this album. Or they could have came to the USA to promote it.. No one here knew about his troubles with drugs and it might have saved him. Because his drug dealers wouldn't have been able to get to him. They could have let him apear on American bandstand with Dick Clark,or on the Ed Sullivan show. We had a lot of great shows that could have been a great help to him. And are teen magazine's would have put him on the covers. The teen-age girls would have been able to do the rest.

honestly i think his mates who were his promoters & producers gave up on him he had let them down a whole bunch in the past i feel they had enough ,,just my thoughts from what they had said about him in past interviews i think they were over it . .@@OldiesMomma

Paul Bromley you never understood the song then!

Onya mate.We were there.Im still here.My walking stick and my dogs are more dangerous than my fists.probly not.

@@moniquedouglas2448 he was 15 I was 12. Guesses you really understand.

Ditto Brother 65 and play this as motivation everyday. P.S NO teeth

I have to agree with you that Stevie wright was a very great 👍 song writer and performer 😂😂 . I think that he was the reason why the Easybeats was so popular it was his songs that George wrote the music to for. There songs were on the top of the music charts in Australia. It was his dancing and arobic jump's and back flips that made them famous. He has cute and sweet. It wasn't George young or Harry Vanda who was getting girls mailed to them. It was Stevie. The group should have been called Stevie wright and the Easybeats. Or more simply the The Stevie wright Band If it wasn't for Stevie there wouldn't be any AC DC or any other groups. He was the band

@@gregnormal5101 huge fan👍

Is there any more concert footage of.this concert on you tube channel anywhere.❤❤❤❤❤❤. I can not find any more concert s on stevie wright. Looking for it everywhere.😢😢😢😢😢😢

Possibly because never released on cd as a single..

absolultly

Thanks for that info, I've been hunting for who the band members were. I remember the Kevin Borich Express well.

Gotta take the good with the bad

Indeed true that, Anyone ball taringly star DNA great...

Ikr

FukinA....Stevie was the first Young.....He could play all right!

Tony Bell I guess but they recreated him into there own style so in a way it’s kinda good

Amen to that !!!!

never been better nor will there ever be a close 2nd... cute cheeky looking guy turned drug addict but still looked doin it with 100% charisma till hes dyijng day .... the easybeats set the standard and tone 4 all aussies ... RIP stevie my bro xxx

Even if bon got influenced by him, bon is 300 times better

Actually, his best song by a long shot is "Evie."

if only mate

I agree with you. And why.didt they come to the USA that would have been great. ❤❤ we American's have missed out on a lot.stevie wright was a great performer and the easybeats was just as good as any of the bands that came over with the other groups from the UK. R.i.p. .. stevie.we with always love you and your music..

I know ... such a classic

I believe they looked at him, but his drug addiction......

I saw the Mentals in my home state of Tassie back in the late 70's. It was a small hotel bar and we were almost right up in their face.

love that movie!

Bernard Arseneault agree

agree

Indeed... and he'd prob have died way before 68 😜

Stevie was an influence for many artists, including Bon ...

the fella who just missed out wasnt too bad kzfaq.info?o=U&video_id=8M6ZzbBGDrA

Aussie rock is vaaaaastly underated. We had dozens of shit hot bands that went nowhere OS.

@@peterhoare4549, links please.

He was too much of a fuck up junkie. The Young's had had one of those. Why they went with Brian J. Bon Scott chose him,cause he KNEW his days were very numbered. But the Band mattered more

King Billy Thorpe

He doesn't sound like bon , bon sounds like Stevie 🤘

You said it 🎧🎧🤟🇦🇺🇦🇺

Was thinking the same thing and would have lived longer too.

Saw an interview with ACDCs Young brothers and they said when Bon died they went and traced down Stevie Wright, but he was in no shape.

Way better. His singing is so similar. He can sing clearly. I wonder why they didn’t get him.

Mark Worrall thanks for that. Was he bad on drugs?
