My Next AC/DC Analysis with Bon Scott! Vocal ANALYSIS of "It's A Long Way To The Top" with BAGPIPES

First I heard Korn with bagpipes, and now AC/DC featuring Bon Scott. Yes, I heard your cries loud and clear that I shouldn't have started my AC/DC journey with a live performance of "Thunderstruck" with Brian Johnson, and so here we are. It was impossible to find a live recording with the bagpipes (the drone while it wouldn't have been played would make live performances horrendous) so I went for the studio version over the music video. I hope you all enjoy, I sure did!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to AC/DC featuring Bon Scott for the first time, performing "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock And Roll).

Almost every reactor seems to ignore Bon Scott-era AC/DC. Thank you for featuring him! Bon is a true rock legend and of my favorite rock singers of all time. He infuses SO much joy and personality into his voice. I hope you’ll keep doing more Bon Scott/AC/DC songs! I suggest Jailbreak or Highway to Hell. Thank you Elizabeth!

(Wikipedia) Bon Scott had once been in a pipe band and encouraged the band to experiment with incorporating bagpipes into the song. Scott left the studio that day and returned with a set of bagpipes purchased at a Park Street music store at what was an extortionately high price (AU$479) at the time... Simply putting the pipe-set together proved tricky, and it became apparent Scott had never played the instrument before, having in fact been a drummer in the aforementioned pipe band. Nonetheless, Scott taught himself to play well enough to record and perform the song (initially with the help of tape loops).

Bon was in the band for 6 years, Brian's been in the band for 44. Bon was the first voice but I think Brian is the "true" voice. Bon has 6 AC/DC albums, Brian has 15; that's 2.5 times more albums. Bon has 55 songs, Brian has 188; that's 3.4 times more songs, so Brian also has more songs per album than Bon did. 6 of the 10 most popular songs are Brian, more people know Brian more than Bon. So by all the metrics, Brian is the true voice of AC/DC.

Fun facts about this song: The bagpipes were rather problematic when it came to live performances that this song was rarely played live. Hence the lack of footage. Second fun fact. The boys were sitting around deciding what instrument to bring into the song. Bagpipes were suggested as Bon was once in a pipe band. They went out and bought a stupidly expensive set of bagpipes. they brought them back and discovered they needed to be assembled. Everyone turned to Bon and he said "I don't have a clue. I was a drummer"

This was filmed in February 1976, a month or so before Angus turned 21. They did play live on the truck down Swanston Street, Melbourne (they didn't announce it, they just did it!) and they also filmed a clip in the old Melbourne City Square. This was not long before they left Australia to head to England and conquer the world. Bon's song lyrics reflected life on the road for a rock band and it was only the previous year when AC/DC had the infamous punch up with the Deep Purple Road Crew at Sunbury Rock Festival when they stopped AC/DC going on to close the night after Deep Purple cut their set early. Bon was a brilliant lyricist and singer, he could be very naughty and playful with his lyrics, but that was part of the charm. I believe he is the greatest front man Australia has ever had and he left us way too soon. There are so many more songs that stand out, 'Touch too much", "Let there be rock", "Highway to hell" and many more. Some of the live Bon performances such as the 1978 Glasgow gig show how tight and powerful the band was live. Definitely worth a deep dive into!

What made Bon different, yet so perfect for ACDC was his voice was an instrument in and of itself. The pipes played three notes, but the details are the subtle nuances going on with the guitars.

During the writing of the album, Scott came to Angus and Malcolm to say that he wanted to contribute to the album musically if possible. Angus and Malcolm had never seen him play an instrument and asked what he had in mind. His answer, "I can play the bagpipes." Scott's father was the director of the Royal Drum and Bagpipe Corps in Australia.

Sadly, the iconic bagpipe solo didn't really lend itself well to live performances, even when Bon was alive. Especially, after a concert at a high school when Bon put down his rig only for some crazy fans to destroy it. According to Malcolm Young: "Bon could actually play flute, not bagpipes. So he played the melody, and then we did the drones separately and put it on and it sounded fantastic."
